In the world of the national football team, every announcement of the training list is like a war without gunpowder, which has aroused heated discussions and speculation among fans. And this time, the winter training list of the national football team is like a bombshell, setting off a storm among the fan base. Among them, the most striking is Ivan's bold decision to reintegrate Yang Liyu, who has not been called up by the national football team for three years, and also bring two mysterious newcomers, Maiwulang and Wumi Tijiang. Is this series of changes Ivan's trick or an adventure full of unknowns? Let's walk into this high-profile national football situation together.
1. Yang Liyu's ups and downs: from being selected to being forgotten and then returning
Back in 2022, Yang Liyu may still be looking forward to his future in the national team with joy. With his performance in the club, he was stuffed into the national team squad by Li Xiaopeng as a supplementary player. At that moment, his heart was full of pride and expectation, as if he saw the scene of his skills on the national team. He is actively involved in training, giving his all on every run, every pass, and wants to establish himself in the national team. However, fate played a cruel joke on him. This selection turned out to be the swan song of his national team career in the next three years. After that, the door of the national football team was closed to him, and he could only fight alone on the club field, watching the national team play, but not being able to participate in it.
The past three years have undoubtedly been long and painful for Yang Liyu. In the world of football, three years is enough to change a lot. He watched his former teammates go in and out of the national team, and some gradually emerged and became the core of the team; Others gradually lost their place and disappeared from view. And he himself has always been hovering on the edge of the national team, and that kind of loss and helplessness, like a dark cloud, has always shrouded his heart. He had also spent countless nights thinking on his own, what was he not doing well enough? Is it not skilled enough? Or is the tactical understanding not in place? He tried to make up for his shortcomings by training harder, looking forward to the day when he could get another call to the national team.
Now, Ivan's call has made Yang Liyu's fate turn for the better again. When he learned that he had been selected for the winter training list, he had mixed feelings in his heart. Memories of the past flooded back to his heart, and he remembered the excitement and excitement when he was selected for the national team for the first time, and also remembered the confusion and loss in the days when he was forgotten by the national team. But at the moment, it is more about the expectation and determination for the future. He knew it was a hard-earned opportunity and a great opportunity for him to prove himself again. He secretly vowed to seize this opportunity to show his best form in winter training and let his coaches and teammates see his strength.
2. Ivan's selection logic: Super League observation and unique perspective
Ivan, the influential coach in football, is known for his unique selection criteria. His love for the Chinese Super League game is almost obsessive, especially the game against Guoan, which is simply a non-stop. He is like a keen hunter, looking for the most potential prey in the Chinese Super League. Zhang Yuning's two priceless goals on the field, every detail is deeply engraved in his mind. Zhang Yuning's smart movement in the penalty area, cleverly getting rid of defenders, and then hitting the corner with a powerful shot. That wonderful moment not only made the audience cheer, but also made Ivan see the unlimited potential of Zhang Yuning. and Lin Liangming's shocking kick against the Japanese team, the shot full of power and skill flew towards the goal like a cannonball, instantly igniting the passion of the audience. Ivan has seen all of this and knows that the quality and fighting spirit of these players in key moments is exactly what the national team needs.
For Yang Liyu, Ivan may have his own considerations. He saw the brilliance of Yang Liyu in the club competition, and although Yang Liyu did not enter the national team in the past three years, his strength was not overlooked by Ivan. Perhaps Ivan found in his observation that Yang Liyu's creativity and passing ability on the offensive end are still outstanding. He is able to deftly get away from defence in tight spaces and create great attacking opportunities for his teammates. His passing accuracy is like that of a guided missile, often finding the movement of his teammates accurately and tearing through the opposition's defence. Ivan believes that as long as Yang Liyu is given the right opportunities and tactical arrangements, he has the ability to shine again on the national team.
And for the selection of the two newcomers, Mai Wulang and Wumi Tijiang, it reflects Ivan's courage to reduce talents without sticking to one pattern. The names of these two players, for many fans, are like two mysterious planets in a galaxy far away, full of unknowns. But Ivan doesn't care about their fame, he values their actual performance and potential in the game. In his eyes, every player is an unpolished jade, as long as there is enough talent and potential, it is worth giving him a chance. Perhaps in previous games, Ivan has seen the tenacious struggle of Maigoro on the defensive end, and he is like a strong wall, successfully blocking the opponent's attack again and again. Umitijan, on the other hand, may have shown excellent organisational skills in midfield, with his passing arrangements flowing smoothly and methodically controlling the tempo of the game. Ivan is looking forward to the surprise they can bring on the stage of the national team, like discovering two shining stars in the dark, and he is eager to polish them into the future stars of the national team.
3. The thinking behind it: "foreign handsome" thinking and the future of the national football team
Ivan's selection method is undoubtedly different from that of previous head coaches, which has also triggered people's in-depth thinking about the "foreign handsome" thinking and the development of the national football team. In the past, the selection criteria may have been more focused on the player's reputation, past achievements or status in domestic football. Ivan, on the other hand, is more of a pragmatic engineer, focusing on the player's on-field performance, technical characteristics and tactical execution in the game. He tried to break the traditional selection framework and inject new vitality into the national football team.
This change in the way of thinking may be a double-edged sword for the national football team. On the one hand, it provides opportunities for those players who have strength but are not well-known, making the national football squad more diverse and full of more possibilities. It's like throwing a pebble into the calm lake water, which has caused ripples and brought new ideas and directions for the development of the national football team. On the other hand, if the newly selected players are not able to adapt quickly and perform at the level they should in the national team competition, it may also cause some doubts and controversy. But in any case, Ivan's courage is worthy of recognition, in the challenging stage of the national football team, if you don't have the courage to try, you will never know if there is a glimmer of hope ahead.
For Yang Liyu, being selected for the winter training roster this time was an important turning point in his career. He carries the expectations of the fans and the responsibility of proving himself. He needs to adjust his form as soon as possible in winter training, run in with his teammates, and adapt to Ivan's tactical system. As for the two newcomers, Maiwulang and Wumitijiang, they must seize this rare opportunity, bravely meet the challenge, and show their strength and potential.
The future of the national football team is full of uncertainties, just like a ship sailing in the vast sea, which needs to constantly explore and adjust its direction. Ivan's selection decision may be just a small attempt on the road to reform of the national football team, but no matter what the result is, it will become an important footnote in the development of the national football team. Fans are looking forward to seeing Yang Liyu return as a king, regain his best form, and attack the city on the field of the national team; I also look forward to the two newcomers being able to make a splash and become the mainstay of the national football team in the future. In this stage of football full of hope and challenges, let's wait and see how they write their own legends.
