Recently, the Chinese men's football team U23 team and Changchun Yatai played a warm-up match, and the U23 men's football team won 2-0, 2 goals. As we all know, Changchun Yatai is the dark horse of the Chinese Super League last season, the overall strength is not bad, there are not many international players in the team, so it is basically a full main lineup, they have played a game with the U23 men's football team before, and the national team has not bargained for anything. This time, the U23 national football team won easily, which shows that the strength of the team has been significantly improved, mainly because Yankovic has recruited 5 famous players, and it is worth mentioning that these 5 people are also the first combination in the U23 national football team.
Speaking of which, the players of the U23 national football team should all be under 23 years old, but Yankovic may be in order to further strengthen the strength of the team and increase the competition between the players, this time specially recruited 3 overage players, namely Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng and Zhang Yuning. The above 3 players are the main players of the national football team, Wu Xi and Zhang Linpeng are the captains, both of them have won a number of championships in their respective clubs, and they also represented the national football team in the top 40 and 12 matches some time ago. Zhang Yuning is the best high school striker in the national football team at this stage, who stayed in the ocean in his early years and has an unlimited future.
In addition to the 3 overage players, Dai Weijun and Zhu Chenjie are both U23 players and regulars of the national football team. After Li Xiaopeng became the manager of the national football team, he provided these two young players with more opportunities to play, and their performance was remarkable. Especially Dai Weijun, in the game where the national football team lost to Vietnam, most of the veteran players were mentally scattered and depressed, only he always ran at all costs, which was the only highlight of the team. In this warm-up match, Dai Weijun once again contributed a wonderful performance, scoring key goals and helping the U23 men's football team to victory.
At the same time, the U23 men's football team already has young talents such as Jiang Shenglong, plus 3 veterans to help, and the strength of the team has been greatly improved. As for why Jankovic recruited the top 5 national football players, the outside world generally believes that this is to prepare for the Asian Games, after all, it is to fight on the mainland, or to strive for good results as much as possible. The Asian Games, like the Olympic Games, require 20 players in the 23-man roster to be age-appropriate players, but there are 3 over-age player slots. Now it seems that Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng and Zhang Yuning will qualify for the Asian Games and temporarily join the U23 national football team.
The Chinese men's football team performed badly in the round of 12, and Wu Xi and others were angrily criticized for the sea cucumber incident, which affected Chinese football. It can be said that in addition to the Chinese women's football team, as long as Chinese football is mentioned, the vast majority of fans will shake their heads and sigh, and there is no shortage of personal attacks against football association officials, club managers, and players and coaches on the Internet. In this case, any war of words is meaningless, only to take out the results on the court and prove themselves again is what the Chinese men's football team must do. This time, Jankovic led the team to the Asian Games, deliberately bringing 3 over-aged players, obviously in order to achieve good results at the doorstep, hoping that he could get his wish.
