Almost every time the national football training list is listed, it will cause a lot of controversy from the outside world, and this time is no exception.
In order to prepare for the two World Preliminary Round of 18 matches in October, Ivankovic has called up 24 internationals this time. Compared with last month's national football training list, there is almost nothing new, except for Xie Pengfei, Zhu Chenjie, and Bao Yaxiong, who will be absent from 3 generals, almost the original team last month.
Previously, Wu Lei and Alan were called up at the same time, which caused widespread doubts from the outside world. Everyone thinks that Ivan's complete disregard for the health of the players for the sake of the national team's record is very inappropriate. Not only does it not help, but it may also affect the career prospects of Wu Lei and Alain, which is very irrational. Fortunately, the two have now retired from the national team. But Ivan recruited people like this, and it was difficult to escape the criticism of fans.
In addition to recruiting Wu Lei and Alain, who were injured, Ivan abandoned three high-profile national football pearls, which caused the most widespread doubts from the outside world. The three people who were abandoned by Ivan were Yu Hanchao, Wang Qiuming and Barton.
Yu Hanchao, a veteran of Chinese football for many years, is known for his rich game experience and excellent passing ability. At club level, he is often able to step up when it matters most, bringing valuable goals or assists to the team. Yu Hanchao's technical characteristics are distinctive, although he is older, his breakthrough and dribbling ability on the side are still the same. In the case of injuries to Wu Lei, Alan and others, if the national football team can call up Yu Hanchao, it will undoubtedly be a big compensation. Ivan ignores the existence of Han Chao like this, which is indeed incomprehensible.
Wang Qiuming, as the main midfielder of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, has won widespread praise for his all-round skills and steady performance. Not only can he make interceptions and tackles in the midfield position, but he can also organize attacks in the forward position, and is known as an all-round midfielder. Wang Qiuming's ability to control the ball is excellent, whether it is a short pass or a long pass, it seems to be at ease. He has a positive run and a lot of coverage and is able to form an effective linkage in midfield. In addition, he has excellent attacking attributes up front and is able to create scoring opportunities for the team when it matters most. During the period of Jankovic's coaching, Wang Qiuming was selected for the national team many times and performed well, but after Ivan took over, he was abandoned again and again, which is really difficult to understand.
Barton, the frontcourt all-rounder of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, is fast, has strong breakthrough ability, and can pass and shoot, and his creativity and attacking attributes are very good. So far this season, Barton has played 30 games and has contributed two goals and eight assists for Tianjin. However, with such an excellent performance in the Chinese Super League, Barton couldn't get into Ivan's eyes, and it was also speechless.
Yu Hanchao, Wang Qiuming and Barton, these three local giants each have unique technical characteristics and distinctive on-field styles, if they can enter the national football team, it will definitely be a blessing for the national football team. It's a pity that they were all ignored by Ivan. I have to say that these are Ivan's three major mistakes in this selection.
