Djordjevic responded with high emotional intelligence
Djordjevic did not choose to run away from this controversy, but faced it calmly and gave his own explanation. "Injuries and a number of other reasons have led to some players not being selected," he said. Some players should have been selected for this window to continue last year's training camp, but due to injury concerns, we did not make them into the final list. There are also players who can't be selected for some other reason, and as soon as conditions allow, we will welcome them with open arms, as always. ”
Djordjevic's words, although simple, reveal his high emotional intelligence and thoughtfulness. He began by making it clear that injuries are one of the most important factors affecting the selection of players. In competitive sports, injuries are a challenge that every athlete does not want to face, but it is inevitable to face. Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin are the core players of the Chinese men's basketball team, and their absence will indeed have a great impact on the strength of the team. However, Djordjevic chose to take the perspective of injuries and stressed the importance of protecting the health of the players, which is also responsible for the player's personal career.
In addition, Djordjevic also mentioned "other reasons" that led to the failure of some players to be selected. Although it is not specified what the reasons are, it is conceivable that it may involve the state of the players, tactical needs, team cooperation and other aspects. As a head coach, Djordjevic needs to make the best choice based on the overall interests and direction of the team. His decisions were not made on the spur of the moment or by blind bias, but were the result of careful consideration and thorough consideration.

He insisted on taking injuries and the overall interests of the team as a starting point and made his choice. At the same time, he also maintained an open and inclusive attitude, leaving the opportunity for the players to return to the national team, so professional people do professional things, let the results of this Asian Cup qualifier prove it, what do you think?
