The new season of the Chinese Super League is in full swing, and the teams are also working hard to show 18 kinds of martial arts, looking forward to creating good results in the new season. Especially after Song Kai, the new chairman of the Football Association, took office, he also actively listened to public opinion and introduced a number of favorable policies to promote the development of the Chinese Super League in a sustainable, stable and healthy direction.
The improvement in the quality of the Chinese Super League is undoubtedly great news for the national team. In particular, the homegrown players who have performed well in the league will attract the attention of the new national football coach Ivan. Recently, Ivan's team has also changed its thinking, no longer relying on the recommendations of the Chinese coaching staff to formulate the training list, but actively going deep into the Chinese Super League to inspect the performance of the players, hoping to tap some potential newcomers to call into the national team through close viewing of the game.
After all, the national football team will usher in the final battle of the two group stages in June. Especially the home game against the Thai team can be called a life-and-death battle whether the national football team can advance to the round of 18. Only a win over Thailand will ensure the second place in the group.
Although Ivan has only played two back-to-back games with Singapore, he must have his own plan for how the Chinese team will win the right to qualify for the round of 18. First of all, consider that in the match with the Singapore team, the two main players of the national football team, Wu Lei and Li Yuanyi, were both suspended for accumulating two yellow cards. Then finding a replacement for the corresponding position has become the top priority of Ivan's next work.
In particular, the absence of Wu Lei, the leading scorer of the national football team, has reduced the strength of the national football team in terms of offense. Who will replace Wu Lei to help the national football team solve the battle? It has become a major problem for Ivan. After all, among the teams in the Chinese Super League, the forward line is basically occupied by foreign aid. Not many homegrown players can score.
Fortunately, through two matches with the Singapore team, Fernando, who made his first appearance for the national team, has completely conquered Ivan with his excellent performance on the wing. Therefore, continuing to reuse naturalized players is the best solution to solve the absence of Wu Lei and other main players. It is understood that Alain, who returned to the Chinese Super League this season to play for the Qingdao West Coast team, has attracted the attention of Ivan. Although Alain is still in the recovery phase, with more playing time in the middle of the league, he has every hope of being at his best for his country in June.
In addition, in the midfield position, Li Ke, a naturalized player from Beijing Guoan, is expected to replace Li Yuanyi and get Ivan's call-up. Although before the start of the Asian Cup, Li Ke was abandoned because of the conflict with Jankovic. But his interception ability in the midfield position will be the main player needed in the national football team's matchup against Thailand.
Therefore, in the final game of the two round of 36 matches in June, Ivan will continue to maintain the principle of the main framework of the first training camp, and then make local adjustments according to the injuries and suspensions of the players.
