The announcement of the national football team's winter training list has been like dropping a bombshell, causing an uproar in the entire football circle. Fans are excitedly discussing it, and the media is full of speculation and analysis. Especially Ivan's selection decision has really surprised everyone - Yang Liyu, the player who has not been called up to the national team for three years, has now returned to the list, and even brought two completely unfamiliar names: Maiwulang and Wumiti Jiang. Such a move, is it Ivan's wise decision, or a risky gamble filled with adventure? Let's analyze it together. First, let's talk about Yang Liyu. This name may be a bit "blurry" for many fans. If you recall, you might remember his brief appearance under Li Xiaopeng. At that time, he was once included in the national team's roster based on his performance at the club, and everyone expected him to shine in the national team. However, things took an unexpected turn. It was like riding an unexpected roller coaster - as soon as he stepped onto the field, he was quickly put on ice. In the following three years, Yang Liyu was like a forgotten corner, never receiving another call-up. Yes, for three years, Yang Liyu had no chance to play for the country, and many fans sighed for him. Whether his competitive state could return to its peak became a question for everyone. Now, Ivan suddenly called him back, giving Yang Liyu another chance to prove himself. For him, this is undoubtedly a major turning point in…

Hello everyone, I am Gui Zai, a blogger who always pays attention to the development of Chinese football. Today, I want to talk to you about the hot topic of the national team recently - the launch of the 2025 winter training led by veteran coach Ivankovic, and whether the naturalized player Delgado will become the new force of the national team, which is highly concerned by fans. Under the leadership of Ivankovic, the men's national football team has already opened the curtain of the 2025 winter training. This training session, Ivankovic carefully selected 32 national players to form a luxurious training lineup. It is worth mentioning that although 32 people were recruited, only 31 people participated in this training. The absent player is Fernandinho, who chose to give up joining the national team's training plan because his contract with Shenhua expired without renewal. For Fernandinho's absence, Ivankovic showed great understanding and respect, and did not force him to participate. Such an attitude undoubtedly highlights the wisdom and tolerance of Ivankovic as an old coach. However, Fernandinho's absence also sparked heated discussions among fans. Everyone speculated whether the national team would take this opportunity to add new naturalized players. After all, in today's international football arena, naturalized players have become an important way to enhance the strength of the team. Among the many potential naturalized candidates, Delgado's name stands out. Delgado is indeed a promising option. He has played for European giants such as Inter Milan and Benfica, accumulating rich game experience. Although his development at Inter Milan did not…

Fernandinho has not participated in the new round of national team training, causing an uproar among fans. In order to prepare for the top 18 matches in March, national team coach Ivan Kozlovic decided to launch a new round of training after comprehensive opinions and discussions with the Football Association. This is to ensure that new tactics and systems can be instilled in the players early. At the same time, it is also to observe more newcomers and young players, providing more choices for subsequent lineup arrangements. It is worth noting that Ivan Kozlovic held a special welcome ceremony for the naturalized player Hou Yongyong, who was selected for the national team for the first time, along with several newly selected newcomers. However, in the face of Fernandinho's absence, the coaching staff seemed unwilling to give too many interviews. However, after the team training ended, Ivan still gave an answer, frankly admitting that Fernandinho was absent due to physical reasons and had already informed the coaching staff. However, such an explanation is clearly difficult to silence public opinion. Moreover, just recently, Fernandinho posted a new dynamic on his personal social media, showing that he is currently engaged in running training. It seems that Fernandinho's body does not have too many physical problems; it is simply a matter of personal will, unwilling to participate in the training. This move has also been fiercely criticized by fans, with comments like "cloud training" flooding the comment section. However, Fernandinho's habit of being undisciplined and uncontrollable is not the first time. When he was…

In order to prepare for the remaining matches of the top 18 qualifiers, Ivan led the national football team to start training in Haikou. It is expected that the next top 18 qualifiers will be selected from these training players. The first opponent of the national team this year is Saudi Arabia, and the national team will play away. There are a total of 32 players on the list this time, and there will definitely be players who miss the top 18 qualifiers. From 32 to 23, the prediction of the national team's lineup against Saudi Arabia, with potential omissions from Port, Guoan, and Luneng. Firstly, in the goalkeeper position of the national team, Wang Dalei and Yan Junling's positions are relatively stable. Among the choices of Han Jiaqi and Jian Tao, Ivan may prefer Han Jiaqi. Last season in the Chinese Super League, Han Jiaqi performed more brilliantly, and he was full of passion in the game, which could mobilize the team's enthusiasm and fighting spirit, more like a defensive leader. Among the defenders, with the addition of overseas central defender Wu Shaocong, the national team has more options at the center-back position. After traveling to Europe, Wu Shaocong can help him squeeze out other players in the same position. Jiang Guangtai missed this time due to injury, but if there were no injuries, he would almost certainly be selected. Adding two players from Shenhua, the national team's center-back position needs to "slim down". Hai Gang's central defender Wei Zhen often makes mistakes, Wumiti Jiang from the three towns…

The national team announced the training roster just one day ago, and someone has already announced their withdrawal from the national team. This is not the first time such an incident has occurred since Ivan took office; Ivan was also very angry upon learning about it and directly declared that he would never call up players who do not want to play for China! "He won't return to the national team because of some personal matters." Ivan confirmed during an interview that naturalized forward Fernandinho will be absent from the latest national team roster. Some journalists also revealed that Fernandinho himself does not want to return to China to play football unless the Chinese Football Association can help him find a club to play for. Obviously, in the face of such absurd demands, the Football Association will not agree. This time, Fernandinho's behavior is also unbecoming; he received so much money for his naturalization back then, yet now he doesn't even pretend anymore. Among so many naturalized players, others without blood ties are more or less willing to express some stance, whether it's Elkeson, Luo Guofu, or Alan. Now, Fernandinho is no longer pretending. This is not the first time such an incident has happened. When Ivan first joined the team, he wanted to call up veteran Wu Xi for the first training roster, but was rejected by the player himself, who stated: "I no longer have the ability to continue serving the national team." The second instance was Zhang Linpeng, who directly announced his withdrawal from the national team…

In the Asian qualifying round of the World Cup for the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the performance of the Chinese men's football team has undoubtedly sparked heated discussions and attention from all sides. Although their current performance is not satisfactory, it seems that Chinese football still has a glimmer of hope. In this globally watched event, despite suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of the Japanese men's football team in the first round, as the competition progresses, the state of the national team has begun to gradually recover, bringing some expectations to the fans. At this critical moment, news about naturalized players has once again become a hot topic, especially the issue of naturalizing Brazilian player Serginho, which has aroused extensive discussion among fans. In fact, whether the future of the national team can achieve a qualitative leap through the addition of naturalized players has become an issue that many people are keen to discuss. Regarding the current situation of the Chinese men's football team, we must first acknowledge that although the current ranking is low, the national team still has the potential to make a run for the World Cup. Currently, the Chinese men's football team has a record of 2 wins and 4 losses, accumulating 6 points, temporarily at the bottom of Group C, only 1 point behind the second-placed Australian men's football team. From this point of view, although the results are not ideal, opportunities still exist, especially on this road to the World Cup, any victory and accumulation of points may allow them to…

With the announcement of the Chinese men's football training squad list, fans have begun to speculate on who will be selected and who will be eliminated, especially with the upcoming World Cup qualifier against Saudi Arabia, where the final lineup is becoming increasingly uncertain. Out of the 32-man training squad, only 23 players will make it onto the matchday roster, meaning that 9 players will face the reality of being cut from the team. Let's delve into the reasons why these 9 players might miss out on this crucial match. Starting with the goalkeepers. Everyone knows that the goalkeeper position in the national team has been largely settled, with Wang Dalei and Yan Junling almost guaranteed as starters. Han Jiaqi seems destined to miss out on the 23-man list. Although his performance during training was acceptable, he falls short compared to the other two experienced goalkeepers. Especially when it comes to defending high balls and corners, the national team clearly prefers goalkeepers with stronger aerial control abilities, which Han Jiaqi fails to meet. As a result, his elimination is almost certain, unless some unforeseen circumstances occur. Moving on to the defenders. Wei Zhen, Han Pengfei, and Wu Mitijiang are likely to be left out of the final 23-man list. First, let's talk about Wei Zhen. Although he has excellent physical conditions, his defensive awareness and positional sense on the field are clearly lacking. In high-pressure matches, his performance could affect the team's defensive stability, so coach Ivan is unlikely to choose him as a key defensive player. Next, Han Pengfei,…

In preparation for the 18-strong tournament starting in March, the Chinese men's football team recently reconvened to begin their first training camp of 2025. In this training session, head coach Ivan Kozlovic, in order to evaluate more players, called up a total of 32 players at once. Among them, the highly anticipated overseas player Hou Yongyong was successfully selected and wore the national team jersey for the first time. However, one player chose to ignore Ivan's invitation and refused to report to the national team, casting a thick shadow over his future with the national team. This player is Li Ke, the 31-year-old naturalized international, who is certainly familiar to fans who follow Chinese football. As one of the first batch of naturalized players for the national team, Li Ke was selected for the Chinese team as early as 2019 and represented the national team in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Despite frequent coaching changes in the Chinese team since then, Li Ke's position has remained stable, receiving ample playing opportunities under both Li Tie and Yang Kewei. However, before last year's Asian Cup, Li Ke clashed with the national team. While preparing with the team, Li Ke violated regulations set by then-head coach Yang Kewei and was punished, resulting in his exclusion from the national team roster. To establish the authority of the head coach, the staff of the Football Association at that time all chose to support Yang Kewei, forcing Li Ke to return home and bid an early farewell to the Asian Cup. This punishment has been…

Consecutive victories over Indonesia and Bahrain have given fans renewed hope of advancing to the top 18. Although the prospects of qualifying for the World Cup remain slim, it has at least provided fans with something to look forward to. The latest national team roster has also been officially announced, and all the players on the current national team have reported to Hainan in the past two days. However, the latest national team roster is also highly controversial, with Ivan continuing to rely on young players, such as the 20-year-old Buyu Lang and the 20-year-old Wumiti Jiang, both of whom are post-00s youngsters making their first appearance on the national team. In addition, naturalized player Jiang Guangtai is absent due to injury, leaving only two naturalized players selected for this national team, Fernandinho and Hou Yongyong, who is making his first appearance on the national team. Hou Yongyong has already arrived in Haikou, but Fernandinho is causing trouble again and is expected to miss this training camp. Ivan confirmed this news in an interview, saying that Fernandinho will be absent from the national team due to personal matters. This is not the first time that a naturalized player has caused trouble; previously, naturalized player Li Ke was unsuccessfully persuaded by Ivan several times, ultimately leading to Ivan giving up on selecting him for the national team. According to media reports, Fernandinho's contract with Shanghai Shenhua has expired, and after the last match, he emptied his apartment overnight, sending all his luggage back to Brazil in nine large boxes. According to…

Chinese football fans have a lifelong dream: to see their national team qualify for the FIFA World Cup. With the announcement of the latest training squad list, discussions among fans have intensified. The list features both familiar faces and fresh talents, indicating a serious effort to shake things up.‌ The absence of several veterans, including goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo, defender Jiang Guangtai, and forward Wu Lei, has caught everyone's attention. Officially, their omission is due to injuries, but fans can't help but wonder if there's more to the story. These players' absence will undoubtedly affect the team's offensive and defensive capabilities, especially Wu Lei, who is often referred to as China's "nuclear weapon."‌ However, the newcomers have brought pleasant surprises. Young players like Jian Tao, Han Pengfei, and Wu Shaocong have injected new vitality into the team. They are technically skilled and full of energy, which could lead to miraculous moments in matches. Of course, their lack of experience is a concern, and it remains to be seen how the coaching staff will harness their strengths.‌ This transition reflects the strategic intent of the national team. It aims to prepare for upcoming competitions while also focusing on the future by nurturing young talent for the long-term development of Chinese football. Fans are eagerly anticipating what these young players might bring to the table.‌ Head coach Ivan has two key strategies at his disposal. The first is youth. The 32-man squad has an average age of just over 26, with 11 players born after 2000, a rarity in Chinese football history. Young…
