Translation of the article content into English: The latest training list of the Chinese men's national football team includes a total of 32 players, with detailed personnel distribution as shown in the figure. The author discovered three major characteristics in this list and also saw hope for the future of Chinese football. Let's discuss them together. Feature One: No Longer Superstitious About the CSL Champion Team In this list, only two players from the Chinese Super League (CSL) champions Shanghai Port were selected (Wei Zhen and Yan Junling), one of whom is a goalkeeper. This indicates that the national team is no longer blindly superstitious about champion teams but instead focuses more on real strength, which is a good thing. Winning a league championship is closely related to the team's operating funds and the level of foreign players, and does not necessarily reflect the strength of domestic players. Even if they have the ability, willingness and chemistry are also important considerations. In the 2024 CSL season, Shanghai Port had an impressive lineup of foreign players, with a significant tactical presence and influence. I believe Ivan Kozlovski would have taken note of this. In contrast, teams like Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Shenhua, Shandong Taishan, and Chengdu Rongcheng have become major contributors to the national team. Selected players include defenders from Shenhua, midfielders from Taishan, wingers from Rongcheng, and forwards from Guoan. These players can be evaluated by everyone; are they among the best in the domestic league? I think so, and I believe Ivan has a keen eye and unique insights in…

According to the schedule, the Chinese national football team will face Saudi Arabia and Australia in two matches of the top 18 in March. In order to grab more points and help them compete for a second-place finish, the coaching staff has temporarily decided to arrange a training camp, which will take place from January 9th to 18th. Now, all the players participating in the training have been confirmed. According to the official news from the Football Association, the new training list of the national football team totals 32 people, and here are the specific details: Compared to the national team list from last November, this time there are 8 additions and 3 omissions. Among the players who did not make the list are Liu Dianzuo, Jiang Guangtai, and Wu Lei. The newcomers to the list during Ivan Kozlovic's tenure include Hou Yongyong, Huang Zhengyu, Maiwulong, Yang Liyu, Jian Tao, Han Pengfei, Wu Shaocong, and Wumiti Jiang. Statistics show that the average age of the new training list for the national team is 26.7 years old, with a total of 11 post-00s players, reflecting head coach Ivan Kozlovic's determination to continue promoting the rejuvenation of the national team. His boldness in using players even surpasses that of the previous Italian master coach Marcello Lippi. Before the list was announced, fans thought that head coach Ivan Kozlovic would not make major adjustments to the national team lineup. However, unexpectedly, he made a bold move by recruiting 8 new players at once, especially naturalized player Hou Yongyong. This is his first selection…

After the conclusion of the Chinese Super League, the spotlight in the football world shifts to focus on the intense preparations of the national team. As the league approaches its final stages, many clubs no longer face the pressure of fighting for championships or relegation, and their states tend to relax. This, however, opens up an opportunity for young talents who are eager to seize the chance to showcase their skills. This also broadens the scope for the coaching staff led by Ivanković to scout potential national team players from a wider range. The newly announced call-up list reveals several intriguing aspects. Tao Qianglong, the 24-year-old young player, has successfully entered the national team. Looking back at his journey in the league, he has played 25 times on the field, scoring only 1 goal and providing 2 assists, which may not seem impressive at first glance. However, the coaching staff's eyes are sharp, and Ivanković still handed him the national team entry ticket symbolizing recognition. For Tao Qianglong, this is undoubtedly a crucial leap in his career, signifying that he has stepped onto a higher level of competition. Wearing the national team jersey for the first time, Tao Qianglong is filled with anticipation and nervousness. He understands that being selected is just the beginning, and whether he can establish himself in the national team in the future is the real challenge. At the same time, Wang Ziming from Guoan, relying on his recent outstanding performance on the field, has once again won Ivanković's favor and been successfully selected. The coaching…

The Chinese national football team is currently on vacation, with only a few days left until the New Year. However, their attention is focused on the Arabian Gulf Cup, where two of their opponents in the top 18 group, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, have already made their appearances. To prepare for the resumption of the top 18 matches next March, the national team plans to hold a temporary training camp in Haikou next month, which will be personally led by head coach Ivankovic. There is now new information about the time and number of players for the new training session. According to "Beijing Youth Daily", the national team is expected to gather in Haikou around January 8th, with the training period not exceeding 10 days. Coach Ivankovic will formulate a detailed preparation plan based on the performance of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, along with other coaching staff members. Media reports also suggest that the coaching staff is expected to call up about 30 players for this training session. Some older players, such as Wu Lei, are absent due to injury, while newcomers like Wu Shaocong and Wumiti Jiang may be selected. Looking at the lineup from the top 18 matches, the national team has gradually completed the transition between old and new players, with an average age dropping to 27. Only one player over 30 years old remains, goalkeeper Wang Dalei. The rest of the positions are filled with new and mid-generation players, who are the main force for the 2026 World Cup campaign. Among them, head coach Ivankovic is…

The current head coach of the Chinese men's football team, Ivan Kozlovic, is highly regarded by fans and the media. The main reasons for this are threefold. Firstly, he has extensive coaching experience and can bring advanced tactical concepts to the team. Secondly, he is adept at tapping into the potential of players, allowing each player to perform at their best. Lastly, he possesses excellent communication and leadership skills, capable of uniting the entire team. Firstly, the Chinese men's football team is performing well. In the Asian qualifying round of the World Cup Group C, the Chinese team is currently at the bottom of the table but only one point behind second-placed Australia. It seems that the Chinese team has a good chance of advancing to the top four of the group. If they work harder, as Ivan Kozlovic said, there is even a possibility of directly qualifying for the World Cup. Secondly, the Chinese men's football team used to be like a scattered mess, but now it has coalesced into a solid force! Especially in the first match of the 18-strong competition against the Japanese men's football team, fans who watched the live broadcast may have fallen into despair! On the field, the players had no coordination and failed to reach a consensus in their thinking. The outcome was naturally disastrous. However, when they faced the Japanese team again, the players' performance on the field was completely different. They were willing to sacrifice and take on more responsibilities for their teammates. At this point, the Chinese men's football team…
