The Chinese Football Association previously officially announced that new coach Jankovic has taken office, and interim coach Li Xiaopeng has stepped down. The new official of Jankovic will open a new round of national football selection, draw up a squad of up to 50 people, and will carry out a new round of competition.
According to the football newspaper, the Chinese Football Association and Jankovic together selected a large list of nearly 50 people, and then communicated with a number of international footballers, and finally some international players took leave, in addition to injury reasons, family reasons are also another main reason for leave.
Among the personnel in the new list of the national football team, the players who played in the round of 12 during the coaching period of former national football coach Li Tie may not be selected, in addition, among the naturalized players, Axon and Jiang Guangtai, who returned to the Chinese Super League, were basically selected, and Li Ke of Guoan has not fully recovered at present, and his return is unlikely.
In terms of the rest of the selected players, many veterans are still trusted by Jankovic, Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng and other veterans will return, and another veteran Ren Hang is basically certain to be shortlisted. The Chinese men's team will go to Australia and New Zealand to play warm-up matches in March, so Jankovic needs these veterans to press the team, and the preparation time for the game is small, and it is a relatively reasonable strategy to use practice instead of raw.
It is worth mentioning that Jankovic has also used a number of Chinese football stars to enter the coaching staff to improve the depth of the coaching staff, Shao Jiayi will serve as the leader of the Chinese coaching staff, and Zheng Zhi and Chen Tao will play the role of assistant coaches.
Shao Jiayi and Zheng Zhi were both leaders in Chinese football when they were athletes, and both had experience in overseas football, including Shao Jiayi, 43 years old, who had been to Germany to play football for 8 years and had long-term experience in overseas football. During the national team, Shao Jiayi also played in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, and was the main player of the national football team in an era of Chinese football.
Zheng Zhi's resume is richer, winning the Asian Footballer of the Year Award, helping Guangzhou Evergrande win two Asian Champions League championships, as well as winning a total of 10 Chinese Super League championships, and winning two Chinese Footballer of the Year, while Zheng Zhi also has overseas experience, was loaned to Charlton in England in 2007 to play in the Championship, and then Zheng Zhi also played for Celtic in the Soviet Premier League, and was bought back by Guangzhou Evergrande at a high price in 2010. Zheng Zhi is arguably one of the best players in Chinese football since entering the 21st century.
With the help of these two Chinese football celebrities, I believe that Yankovic's national football coach work can be carried out better, the Chinese men's football team has fallen to the bottom of history, Li Tie, Chen Jiayuan and other Chinese football biggs were arrested and made the outside world lose confidence in the national football team, Jankovic's job is to lead the team normally to complete the set tasks, there will be no too high requirements.
