On March 3, Beijing time, the national football team continued to train in Haikou, but because it was in the offseason, many players in the team suffered injuries, including Axen, Jiang Guangtai and Ren Hang could not participate in joint training, so Jankovic will recruit three players from Zhejiang's Zhang Jiaqi, Shanghai Port's Wei Zhen, and Tianjin's Tianjin Tigers' Barton. At the same time, the national football team announced that Axon left the training team due to physical reasons.
After Jankovic became the manager of the national football team, a 24-man training list was previously announced, and the team also completed the assembly on March 1 and officially entered training on March 2.
The 24-man roster included two naturalized players, Jiang Guangtai and Axon, and Li Ke was not called up by Jankovic because his body had not yet recovered to the requirements of the game. Port became the largest international player with 7 players, while Wuhan Three Towns, the champions of the new Chinese Super League, were selected with 6 players. Beijing Guoan and last season's league runners-up Zhejiang have no players on the list. In addition, veterans such as Ren Hang have returned to the national team after many years.
However, among the 24 players called, including Axon, Jiang Guangtai and Ren Hang, are all injured, among which Jiang Guangtai has never participated in the team's joint training after the preparation of the new season in Harbour, and Jiang Guangtai, the physical test of the Harbor team, did not participate, but just jogged on the sidelines with the assistant coach alone.
Due to the two warm-up matches with New Zealand at the end of March, and Jankovic has just taken over, more players need to be examined, so three players were recruited from Zhejiang's Zhang Jiaqi, Shanghai Port's Wei Zhen, and Tianjin's Tianjin Tiger's Barton. In addition, the official announcement of the national football team announced that Axon left the team due to physical reasons.
