After Li Tie, Chen Jiayuan, Liu Yi and others were taken away for investigation, Chinese football ushered in the dawn of a long absence, and less than a week after Jankovic became the new coach of the national football team, he announced his first national team squad, and 24 "Yang I" international players gathered.
However, compared with the previous Jankovic's team is more stringent, he emphasizes the discipline of the team and increases the amount of training, and even bluntly said: "Players with a body fat rate of more than 10% should not play", it is not known how much the national football team has changed, but he obviously sees the gap in the physical fitness of the national football.
In previous matches, China had many experiences of being pierced by opponents due to the decline in physical fitness in the second half, and choosing to start with physical fitness is undoubtedly the most effective way when technology and cooperation cannot be improved in the short term.
On March 2, according to media reports, Jankovic led the national football team to complete its first training session, and the players generally reported that "practice is the devil", and some people could not even adapt. He asked all the players to stick to the last minute to frantically practice the fitness of the players, and when the technical and tactical play could not be changed in the short term, Jankovic still found a way to train the national team.
On the first training day, Jankovic arranged two training sessions a day, physical strength training in the morning, field training in the afternoon, and many lap tests. The move is aimed at enhancing the players' physical fitness.
This approach is somewhat like South Korea's "mad dog flow" style of play, through a wide range of running and continuous rushing to threaten the opponent, so that the opponent's physical strength declines, and they rely on sufficient physical strength to occupy the advantage on the field, which is indeed a method, but it needs to be based on their own quality.
If the player's physical fitness is not good, the result may not be good, after the first day of training session, according to the physical test results, Axon, Jiang Guangtai and Ren Hang withdrew from the national team because of "substandard health", the most notable of which is Ren Hang.
Because his last selection for the national team was four or five years ago, returning to the national team at the age of 34 caused a lot of controversy, in 2016, the Hebei team in order to get Ren Hang, who was still in Jiangsu at the time, directly gave him a signing fee of 80 million yuan when his contract was about to expire, and the player himself had no intention of training since then refused to renew his contract with Jiangsu, and also encountered Jiangsu's "three-stop treatment", and once had no ball to kick.
From these 80 million yuan, the value of the Chinese Super League domestic aid began to soar, Ren Hang is also known as "Ren 8000", and there is an annual salary of up to 10 million, and later due to the Hebei team's business difficulties, Ren Hang also asked for salary on social media.
And Axon was also eliminated because of his substandard health, just joined Chengdu Rongcheng is a return for him, he shared the news excitedly on foreign social media, it can be seen that he likes China very much, and hopes to continue to play for the national team in the future.
Jiang Guangtai and Axon, Ren Hang and other 3 people were eliminated by the national football team because of their physical substandard, Yankovic chose to re-recruit Zhang Jiaqi, Wei Zhen, Barton 3 people to supplement, in late March, the national football team will officially play in the warm-up match with New Zealand, but before that, Yankovic made it clear that the training volume after that will be greater, and players may be eliminated at any time.
