The Qatar Asian Cup, a football event, is about to kick off, but before that, the Chinese team squad announced by the AFC has sparked heated discussions. Coach Jankovic's choice has attracted much attention, but it has also provoked a wave of doubts. "
The highlight of the list is undoubtedly Wu Lei's leadership, and the star of Asian football is undoubtedly the hope of the Chinese team. However, it is surprising that only one naturalized player, Jiang Guangtai, was selected, which makes people think about the role and status of naturalized players in the national football team. In addition, the two major teams in Shanghai have contributed many international players to the national football team, showing their important influence in the domestic football world.
We have to talk about Jankovic's options in the goalkeeper and defender positions. The selection of the fourth goalkeeper Jian Tao has become a hot topic, after all, in the event, the fourth goalkeeper's chance of playing is very small. At the same time, Xu Haofeng's choice has also caused controversy, the young defender has not played many opportunities in the national team, and it is widely believed that this place should be reserved for the midfield position, which is a relatively weak link in the team.
What is shocking is that Exxon, who once dominated the Chinese Super League, was unexpectedly defeated. The player's quality and influence should not be underestimated, and his absence could have a significant impact on the attacking power of the Chinese team. At the same time, Li Ke, who was expelled for violating discipline, also missed the Asian Cup, which reflects the strict discipline and team management of the national football team.
In the forward line, the Chinese team only has three people, Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning and Tan Long, which is stretched for a long-term game. In the event that one of them is injured or his form slips, the attacking power of the Chinese team will be seriously affected. This thin forward configuration undoubtedly brought a huge challenge to Jankovic's tactical arrangement and adaptability.
While Jankovic's choice has been questioned, perhaps that was his strategy. He may be looking for a balance, or he may have a tactical arrangement that is not well known. Behind this list, there may be hidden the secret weapon of the Chinese team to make a breakthrough in the Asian Cup. Only time will tell if the controversial roster will write a new chapter in the Asian Cup in Qatar.
Jankovic's decision may be more than simply a matter of selecting people. He may be building a longer-term strategic layout for the Chinese team. By developing young players such as Xu Haofeng, he may be building a team that can continue to compete. Although it may not bear fruit in the short term, in the long run, it may be a key step in the rise of Chinese football.
Jiang Guangtai's selection as the only naturalized player reflects to a certain extent the cautious attitude of Chinese football in the process of internationalization. The addition of naturalized players can undoubtedly improve the strength of the team, but over-reliance may affect the development of local players. Jankovic seems to be trying to find a balance that will promote the overall level of the team while maintaining the momentum of homegrown football. "
The fact that the two teams in Shanghai have contributed a number of international players not only shows their importance in Chinese football, but also reflects their success in developing excellent players. This regional strength has a positive effect on improving the overall level of the national team and stimulating the competitiveness of other domestic teams.
Exxon's defeat may not be due to technical considerations. Perhaps this is Jankovic's emphasis on discipline and team spirit, and in this way he hopes to develop a team with a strong sense of collective pride and a high degree of self-discipline. Such a strategy, although it may be controversial in the short term, is necessary to build a strong team with good team spirit in the long run.
While there are fewer options up front, it could also be a hidden opportunity. In this case, Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning and Tan Long will face more opportunities and challenges, which is an excellent opportunity for their personal growth and technical improvement. At the same time, it has also prompted Jankovic to be more flexible and innovative in his tactical arrangement, and there may be some unexpected tactical layouts and adjustments.
As an experienced coach, Jankovic's tactical layout and adjustments are often unexpected. In this Asian Cup, he may show some new tactical combinations and layouts, using the team's existing personnel structure to make up for the lack of strength. This kind of tactical innovation and flexibility may become a highlight of the Chinese team on the field. "
Jankovic's decisions, while controversial at the moment, may be the kind of shift that Chinese football needs. Through the experience of this Asian Cup, the Chinese team is not only pursuing short-term results, but also laying the foundation for long-term development. The rise of Chinese football requires not only immediate victory, but also a strategic perspective for continuous progress and development. "
Although there is a lot of controversy surrounding this list, perhaps it is these controversies that have brought a fresh start to the Chinese team. Under Jankovic's leadership, the Chinese team may show a different style at the Asian Cup in Qatar. Whatever the outcome, it will be an important chapter in the history of Chinese football, a story of reform, innovation and the courage to try.
