Wu Lei is suspended, and Ivan is looking for guns everywhere! Ivan can be seen running around in all major Chinese Super League venues. The author previously had an analysis article "The difference between Ivankovic and Jankovic, revealing that Chinese football is changing", listed the number of games that Ivan watched in the Chinese Super League, and readers who are interested can learn about it.
Comprehensive analysis found that the games that Ivan focused on were basically Shanghai Shenhua, Beijing Guoan, Shandong Luneng, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Chengdu Rongcheng and other teams, and the games of other teams were almost not patronized. Including Shanghai Port, Ivan didn't see much, not because of the lack of strength of the harbor players, but because Wu Lei, Jiang Guangtai, Yan Junling, Zhang Linpeng and others he was too familiar with, Wang Zhenao, Li Shuai The two big fullbacks have also entered the training camp, and Ivan has observed it up close.
And the above 5 teams Ivan watched it over and over again, which fully proves Ivan's hesitation. For example, Zhang Xizhe of Beijing Guoan should be the player that Ivan has observed the most, and he saw Fang Hao's performance by the way. Ivan needs to confirm and carefully consider whether these marginal people can take the lead. Last week, Ivan continued to watch Shanghai Shenhua and Jinmen Tigers, but unfortunately the focus of the two teams disappointed him again. Dai Weijun's headless fly-like performance, Slusky directly helped Ivan make a decision and replaced him at half-time. And the Tianjin team's Barton and Xie Weijun made Ivan shake his head frequently.
As a result, a name that everyone thought would no longer appear in the national team once again entered Ivan's sight, and he was - Tan Long! (The news comes from the Tianjin media "Tonight News"). "There is no general in Shuzhong, Liao Hua is the pioneer", after watching Tan Long's performance in the Asian Cup, fans rated him as a "three-no player": no speed advantage, no header ability, no fulcrum, and the rest is only spirit!
Tan Long scored
Obviously, from the perspective of the fans' "unprofessionalism", everyone does not approve of Tan Long. However, Tan Long's entry into Ivan's field of vision at least proves Ivan's professionalism, seeing is believing. Let's do some small analysis on this matter:
First of all, Tan Long is a player that Ivan has to watch
Although some fans say that it is not as good as Yu Dabao to take Tan Long, at least Yu Dabao has his own lucky halo. But let's take a look at the scorer list of the Chinese Super League, in addition to Wu Lei, the local player behind is Tan Long, who scored 4 goals in 11 rounds, temporarily ranking 12th on the scorer list. Tan Long played 11 games in Changchun Yatai this season, in addition to four goals and one assist, 14 shots on goal with a 50% shot on target and a pass success rate of 72%. Wu Lei is suspended, no matter what, Ivan has to go and see it, he is the second scorer in the local area.
Second, the presence of Tan Long can enrich Ivan's tactical arrangement
Against Thailand, our forward combination will either continue to be one high and one fast, with Zhang Yuning paired with a Wei Shihao, Alan or others. Another plan can use Zhang Yuning + Tan Long's double center mode to directly impact the door of the Thai team, although Tan Long's fulcrum effect on the back is poor, but his goal-oriented grabbing and shooting ability is still okay. There is also a possibility to let Zhang Yuning be Tan Long's substitute, using Tan Long's infinite running ability and conscientious fighting spirit to consume the opponent in the opening game, and Zhang Yuning came up to end the game in the second half. Therefore, Tan Long's presence can enrich Ivan's tactical arrangement.
Third, can't young players such as Baihelamu Fang Hao replace Tan Long?
First of all, the author is very optimistic about young players such as Baihela Mu Fanghao entering the new national team, although both of them are very rough, but they are both very characteristic players. Ivan also expressed in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that it is his responsibility as a coach to complete the replacement. Fang Hao and Tan Long are in different positions, but Baihelamu is a strong contender for Tan Long.
However, we had to win the match against Thailand on June 6 and the ability to score goals was clearly the most important indicator for Ivan, and that was precisely the weakness of Baihoram. Moreover, the biggest feature of Baihelam is its ability to serve as a fulcrum, and it is more likely to assume the role of Zhang Yuning's substitute. Then, from the current point of view, Tan Long's role is not something that can be replaced by young strikers such as Bai Helamu, Fang Hao, and Xie Weijun.
To sum up, it is entirely possible for the 36-year-old Tan Long to enter the national team again, which may be the helplessness of Chinese football at this stage. Ivan, do you regret it?
