U23 expedition
Final list
At the same time that the Chinese Football Association announced the list of the Chinese men's national football team in the western expedition yesterday (16th) afternoon, the list of the Chinese 99 age group U23 national football team that traveled to the United Arab Emirates with the national football team was also finalized at the same time, and the three international footballers selected for the national team, Han Jiaqi, Wu Shaocong and Jiang Shenglong, will follow the U23 national football team to participate in the Dubai Cup.
In preparation for the men's football match of the Hangzhou Asian Games in September this year, the U23 national football team also launched training in Haikou from the 3rd of this month, and held an internal teaching match with the national football team on the 15th. I have to say that both sides of this teaching competition are "real knives and real guns" to fight. When the national team had three players in this warm-up match and had to go off the field because of injuries, the U23 national football team also encountered injuries, like left-back Su Shihao, because of a hand fracture in the game, had to be cut at the last moment, and will not be able to participate in this western expedition. Of course, like Shan Huanhuan, who was injured in training before, and because the injury was more serious, he has returned to Dalian for treatment.
However, what makes the U23 national football team more relieved is that Wu Shaocong and Jiang Shenglong, who were originally recruited by the national team to participate in the training, after reporting to the national team, began to train with the U23 national football team the next day, after all, in the last two round of 12 matches of the national football team, Wu Shaocong and Jiang Shenglong could not play the main force for the time being, so the national team coaching team also agreed to support the U23 national football team, after all, the latter still lacks excellent players in the position of center-back. Wu Shaocong and Jiang Shenglong played in the internal teaching match with the national football team in the afternoon of the 15th, and successively appeared in the first half and the second half, playing half of the game each. As for goalkeeper Han Jiaqi, he returned to the U23 national team from the national football team in the later stage of this Haikou training camp, and the positions of the three national team goalkeepers Yan Junling, Liu Dianzuo and Wang Dalei are still relatively stable.
It is understood that the three players returning from the national team this time will follow the U23 national football team to the United Arab Emirates to participate in the Dubai Cup. These three people, together with Zhang Jiansheng, who was previously called to replace Shan Huanhuan, plus the other 20 who have been participating in Haikou training, a total of 24 players will play in the Dubai Cup. According to the plan, after arriving in Dubai, the U23 national football team plans to play a teaching match on the 20th, and then compete with the host UAE team in the first round of the Dubai Cup on March 23.
