A few days ago, according to domestic media reports, national football coach Ivankovic has finalized a list of 55 alternate international players after a comprehensive inspection. In this list, Han Jiaqi, Hu Hetao, Jiang Zhipeng, and Hou Yongyong, who have performed well in the league recently, are among them. The national football team will apply for away visas for these 55 international players to go abroad, so that it can play a plug-and-play effect. Of course, Ivankovic will streamline it when finalizing the new list of the national football team.
The number of players in the squad for the national football team against Japan will not exceed 28, and there will also be a reserve list of 3 to 5 players. To sum up, as long as the players who perform well in the Chinese Super League will be selected for the 55-man training list. Including Huang Zichang, who has played an eye-catching role in the Henan team recently, will also be selected for this squad. As for whether Huang Zichang can be shortlisted for the final 28-man training camp, it depends on whether he has continued to perform in the league.
Huang Zichang is a leader of the 97 generation in Chinese football, who won the title of Messi in the Chinese Super League just after his debut, and jumped into the U23 national team and Lippi national football. If it weren't for the frequent injuries, Huang Zichang's career height would definitely not be lower than Wei Shihao's. Now Wei Shihao openly argued with Ivan in the round of 36 of the national football team, and he also received a red card in the league.
Wei Shihao's repeated violations of discipline made him likely to miss the 28-man training list of the national football team. Therefore, Huang Zichang is expected to replace Wei Shihao and enter the national football training list, which is something that many fans are looking forward to. Huang Zichang's ability is definitely no worse than Wei Shihao, and his game attitude and defensive ability are stronger than Wei Shihao, and it is reasonable for him to replace Wei Shihao in the ultimate list of the national football team.
Finally, Hou Yongyong, who has a high demand from national football fans, is not a problem as a newly naturalized candidate for the 28-person training list. I hope that after the national football team finalizes the 28-man training list, it can play against Japan away and perform well. National football fans hope that the team will try to create a miracle and get a point away from Japan.
