Beijing News (Reporter Zhou Xiao) On the evening of May 17, the Chinese Football Association announced the first training list of the Chinese women's national football team after Milicic took office, preparing for the two warm-up matches with the Australian women's football team on May 31 and June 3. The 27-man training roster shows that Milicic's first training will be stable.

The Chinese Football Association announced on May 11 that it had hired Australian coach Milicic as the coach of the Chinese women's football team, and he also brought a team of four foreign coaches, namely assistant coach Jolic, goalkeeper coach Didurica, physical coach Digan and scientific coach Vidovic. Before the official announcement of the Chinese Football Association, Milicic had arrived in Beijing and was preparing for the upcoming training camp.

A total of 27 players were recruited in the first phase of the "Mi I", most of whom were regulars of the women's national football team in the past two years, Wu Haiyan, Wang Shanshan, Zhang Rui, Zhang Xin and other veterans were all selected, and Wang Shuang, Li Mengwen, Shen Mengyu, Shen Menglu, Wu Chengshu, Wuri Gumula and Tang Jiali Seven overseas players were also recruited. The return of Tang Jiali and Peng Shimeng has attracted attention from the outside world, and is seen as a signal that Milicic will make adjustments and changes to the team - Tang Jiali was not heavily used under Shui Qingxia's coaching, and Peng Shimeng, the main goalkeeper for the 2019 Women's World Cup and the Tokyo Olympics, has also faded out of the national team list in the past few years.

In terms of age, the goalkeepers of the U20 women's national football team, Liu Chen and Pan Hongyan, are the "rookies" in this list, and both of them are under the age of 20. In addition, the domestic club with the most contributions to women's football is still Wuhan Women's Football Team, with a total of five people (Yao Wei, Wu Haiyan, Zhang Linyan, Liu Yanqiu, Zhao Yuxin) selected. Wang Shanshan, Pan Hongyan and Wang Yanwen of the Beijing women's football team were called up by the national team, and the number of selected players was the same as that of the Jiangsu women's football team and the Guangdong women's football team.

According to the Chinese Football Association's competition training plan, the Chinese women's football team will train at the Xianghe National Football Training Base from May 19 to 26 and go to Australia on May 27.
