I remember that after the Asian Games last year, Jankovic, who was the head coach of the national football team at the time, selected several young players from the U23 national Olympic team to play in the national team.
In this year's U23 Asian Cup, there are also some young players who have performed well, and it is not ruled out that the current national football coach Ivankovic will also select some players to play in the national team. Among them, the most vocal is not Tao Qianglong, who has been "famous" for a long time, and is also his last U23 national football match.
To be honest, Tao Qianglong is indeed difficult to be selected for the national team at present, on the one hand, his current ability and performance are really average, in the past few years in the national Olympic team, his state and strength are really getting worse and worse, far from meeting the expectations of fans. On the other hand, there are indeed a lot of players in his position in the national team, Wu Lei, Fernando's status is basically difficult to shake, and players like Lin Liangming, Wei Shihao, Chen Pu and other players can also play, even if Tao Qianglong is selected, it is estimated that it will be difficult to compete for these more experienced "veterans".
In contrast, the 21-year-old center of the national Olympic team, Bai Helamu, will have a greater probability of being promoted from the national Olympic team to the national football team, and he can also be regarded as a "surprise" of this U23 Asian Cup. Baihelamu is considered to have the characteristics of a center player, in addition to the shooting ability, the rest are still relatively good, after arriving at the national football team, playing the starting center is definitely not good, after all, his ability and experience are not up to it, but if he plays the substitute center position, there is still a lot of hope, when Zhang Yuning's physical strength is not good, Baihelam can go up (in the previous World Preliminary Match against the Singapore team, Zhang Yuning actually had his physical strength at the end, but because there was really no center on the bench to use, Ivankovic was forced to let Zhang Yuning stick to the end) 。
To be honest, there is an extreme shortage of manpower in the center forward position now, which is definitely an opportunity for Baihelam, as for whether he can seize it, it depends on his own ability and Ivankovic's choice.
