Ivanković is leading the Chinese men's football team in training in Haikou. Let's take a look at the latest training situation of the team.
Situation One: Wu Lei's Return Date Confirmed
In the latest men's football training list, Wu Lei was not selected due to a knee injury. When will he recover from his injury and return to the national team? This concerns the hearts of thousands of fans. At present, his return date can be roughly determined.
Specifically, Wu Lei has decided to give up the conservative treatment plan for his knee injury and instead opt for a surgical treatment plan that carries certain risks. He will undergo surgery within this week, and after the surgery, he will need 2-3 months to recover. To return to the field, he should also need another 1-2 months to adjust his athletic abilities and state.
Therefore, Wu Lei will definitely miss the two World Cup qualifiers in March, away against Saudi Arabia and home against Australia. The two World Cup qualifiers in June, away against Indonesia and home against Bahrain, will be the day of his return. Wu Lei previously received a closed treatment for his leg for the national team, and for this, he deserves our blessings. Looking forward to your return, King Wu!
Situation Two: Bai Helamu Leaves the Team
The 43rd Shenggang Cup is about to start, with the teams being Guangdong and Hong Kong, China. The Guangdong team mainly consists of players from the Chinese Super League club Shenzhen New Pengcheng, and since Bai Helamu is currently playing for Shenzhen, he needs to temporarily leave the national team training camp to support the Guangdong team. This is a good thing, equivalent to training through competition. Although Bai Helamu does have some shortcomings at present, his fighting spirit, mental strength, as well as his sense in front of the goal and ball-carrying ability, will still enhance his competitiveness. I am optimistic about his future prospects with the national team.
Situation Three: Ivan Praises Wei Shihao
During the national team training period, head coach Ivanković praised Wei Shihao. The content of the praise is roughly as follows: Ivan believes that Wei Shihao is the backbone of the team, often taking the lead in implementing the coach's requirements, supporting the coach, and playing a good role in passing on skills and experience. It should be noted that Ivan rarely publicly praises a single player.
Honestly speaking, if Wang Dalei bids farewell to the national team, if Wei Shihao is still in the team, he really has the potential to become the second captain, with Zhang Yuning as the first captain. Because the national team is unlikely to give the captain's armband to naturalized players, and Wang Shangyuan and Yan Junling's personalities do not seem like they would be captains, it could really be Wei Shihao.
