On February 27, Beijing time, with the announcement of the new training list of the Chinese national football team, the formation of Yankovic's national team has also been preliminarily completed. There are many novelties in this list, both absolute newcomers such as Sun Guowen, Chen Pu, Lin Liangming shortlisted, and meritorious veterans like Hao Junmin who officially bid farewell. However, what makes fans feel most "comfortable" is that some long-controversial international players have finally been excluded from the national team this time.
The five players are Wu Xinghan, Wang Shenchao, Yu Dabao, Zheng Zheng and Wang Gang. Wu Xinghan has been plagued by scandals recently, and has been picked up with the fierce news of changing his name and suspected age, although it has little to do with his football career, but it is certainly not possible to fully focus on playing football for the time being. In addition, the Wu Xinghan incident has become the second most scandalous incident in Chinese football in recent times after Li Tie's case, and has become the target of ridicule by fans across the country, which is obviously not conducive to his return to the national football team.
Yu Dabao was controversial because of the "protective response" incident in the humiliating defeat of the national football team to Vietnam last year, and he became the representative figure of the national football team's "health ball". Wang Shenchao has always been controversial in the national team, so the suspension incident and the necklace incident, he has always been the focus of ridicule for the national football team, and in the World Preliminary Round, Wang Shenchao was once again criticized by the outside world for sending points and other incidents. With Jankovic taking office, these two veterans, who are "bored" by Chinese fans, have also said goodbye.
Zheng Zheng and Wang Gang are typical of insufficient ability. Although Zheng Zheng has been favored by several national team managers, including several rare opportunities in the last World Preliminary Tournament, whether playing as a central defender or a full-back, Zheng Zheng's defense zone is one of the weakest links of the national football; Wang Gang was ridiculed as a reckless man who didn't play football because of his mediocre skills and "tendons", and with the rise of Deng Hanwen last season, Wang Gang also lost his place on the national team.
Although Jankovic has not recruited too many young players from the perspective of the squad, the elimination of several long-standing useless people of the national football team is also a substantial step on the road to the replacement of old and new.
