The national football team has announced its latest training squad list, with a total of 32 players selected. In addition to the well-known veterans, there are 6 new faces in this training session. So what are their characteristics, and who is most likely to play in the next stage of the World Cup qualifiers.
The six new players are almost spread across all lines:
1 Goalkeeper Jian Tao
In fact, Jian Tao is not the first time he has been selected for the national team. This time, the national team recruited four goalkeepers, and the original national goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo was not selected. This time, Jian Tao replaced him. Currently, Wang Dalei and Yan Junling are definitely the first and second goalkeepers. Jian Tao will compete with Han Jiaqi for the third goalkeeper. In fact, Jian Tao and Han Jiaqi have similar characteristics, both being quick in response, but they are young and lack experience. It is possible for either of them to stay.
2 Defense Line
Wu Shaocong
From Radomiak in the Polish Super League in Europe, he can play as a central defender and full-back. However, Xiao Wu has not played an official match for a long time, and his injury situation is also unclear, so it is expected that it will be difficult for him to stay.
Wu Mitijiang
A Xinjiang player from Wuhan Sanzhen, currently 20 years old, 182cm tall, strong physique, excellent explosive power, can play as a right-back and center-back, and plays desperately. He once suffered a head injury while fighting for the ball with an opponent in the league. Ivan particularly likes versatile players on the defensive line, and he has the greatest hope of staying.
3 Midfield
Ma Wu Lang
4 Forward
Yang Liyu
A famous player from Beijing Guoan, he can also be considered an old international player. However, in recent years, he has not been doing well at Guoan and is only a substitute player. As a winger, it is difficult for him to compete with Lin Liangming, Wei Shihao, Fernandinho, and Oscar, who is about to be naturalized.
Hou Yongyong
The best player and top scorer from Norway's First Division, originally a Beijing Guoan player. He scored 19 goals and had 8 assists in last season's Norwegian First Division. There was previously a high call for his selection, and this time Ivan responded to public opinion by inviting him for observation. Some fans previously believed that the level of the Norwegian First Division is not as good as the Chinese Super League, thus questioning the value of Hou Yongyong's MVP Golden Boot. The results of this practical observation will be clear.
However, since the European leagues are still ongoing, whether Hou Yongyong can participate in long-term training is questionable. Additionally, whether he can maintain his form after each long journey back from Europe for national team matches is also a concern.
Of course, if he performs outstandingly in this training session and is favored by Ivan, thereby being introduced by a Chinese Super League team, that would be another matter.
