Recently, the Chinese Football Association announced the latest U22 men's football training list. The 24 players will be trained for 18 days at the Xianghe National Football Training Base under the leadership of head coach Jankovic, after which they will travel to Tajikistan for the U23 Asian Cup qualifiers.
The big list of 5 players in this training camp is from Dalian, and the striker Tao Qianglong, who was punished for disciplinary reasons, was re-selected for the national team after 16 months. However, the most surprising thing is that Liu Ruovan was not selected for the big list of this training. Liu Ruo has made 20 appearances in Chengdu Rongcheng this season, determined the data of 11 goals and 2 assists, and temporarily ranked 6th in the top scorers of the Central League, and is the only U22 player in all levels of the league to score double goals.
Liu Ruovan became famous at a young age and made his professional debut at the age of 18 in Shanghai Shenhua. Although he has not been able to sit firmly in the main force at Shenhua, he has gained a stable playing time after being loaned to Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and Chengdu Rongcheng in the past two seasons, and his talent and experience are definitely above most of his peers. In the U22 national football team, in addition to Guo Tianyu and Zhu Chenjie, who were transferred to the national football team, the most outstanding players were Liu Ruovan, but he lost to the U22 national team for many times.
In this regard, the well-known football journalist Ma Dexing said that the reason why Liu Ruovan lost the election was that he did not perform well during the training camp in January this year, and head coach Jankovic was disappointed in him. This statement immediately caused fans to question, first of all, January has passed a long time ago, during which Liu Ruovan achieved a good performance in the league. Secondly, Liu Chaoyang, who played as a substitute for Liu Ruovan in the club, was selected for the training list of the U22 national football team.
The 99-00 age group is already dying of talent, so we've seen a lot of younger players make the squad. In this U23 qualifier match, the U22 national football team is in the same group as Australia, and the most offensive players in this age group cannot be selected for the big list, and the team's offensive power is bound to weaken, I am afraid that the Chinese team will appear for the first time to be embarrassed to miss the U23 Asian Cup.
