The latest training list of the national football team has reminded me of the days when I used to watch football. Back then, the national team still had Wu Lei leading the charge and Jiang Guangtai holding the fort. Although the results were not great, at least there was something to look forward to. Now, with the new and old players being replaced, it's as if I don't even recognize the team anymore. I don't even know who to expect to score when watching a match. The current situation of the national team is completely different from before. Head coach Ivan has particularly high requirements for physical fitness, which has caused many technically skilled but physically unfit players to lose their chances of selection. This change is quite poignant. Some players are indeed technically skilled, but because they can't keep up with the physical fitness, they can't even enter the training list now. This kind of situation would never have happened before. The current training intensity of the national team is particularly high, and each training session is like going to war. Many veterans really can't handle this training rhythm. Ivan's training methods are completely different from those of previous coaches. He pays more attention to the players' physical confrontation and running ability, which makes it difficult for many technically skilled players to adapt. The team's current training content mainly focuses on physical fitness and free kicks, which shows that Ivan has identified where the team's shortcomings lie. Some players complain privately that the training is too tiring, but there's…

With the announcement of the latest national football team roster, the football community has erupted in excitement as fans eagerly dissect the list to discern the future tactical layout and direction of the national team. This roster features 32 players, with numerous highlights, but it is the selection of players from Shanghai Port that has sparked significant controversy and discussion. The inclusion of naturalized player Hou Yongyong is undoubtedly a highlight of this national team training session, adding more possibilities to the national team lineup. The infusion of young talent is also encouraging, with 20-year-olds Maiwulang and Wumiti Jiang donning the national team jersey for the first time, carrying the hopes for the future of the national team. Their youthful energy is expected to spark new sparks during the training sessions. Looking at the number of players selected from each club, Beijing Guoan stands out with 7 players, becoming the biggest winner, which undoubtedly demonstrates Beijing Guoan's advantage in terms of talent reserves and the current state of their players. In contrast, last season's Chinese Super League "double champion" Shanghai Port finds themselves in an awkward position within the national team. In this national team training session, they have only two players selected, Yan Junling and Wei Zhen, which is in stark contrast to their glorious season achievements, leaving many Shanghai Port fans feeling uneasy and questioning Ivan's selection process. Looking back on last season, Shanghai Port's road to the championship was nothing short of brilliant. Foreign players like Oscar and Bargas wreaked havoc, using their superior individual abilities and默契配合默契配合…

Where does the hope for Chinese football lie? Can naturalized players really save the fate of the national team? On January 3rd, when 26-year-old naturalized player Hou Yongyong was selected for the national team for the first time, these questions were once again brought to the fore. For many people, Hou Yongyong's selection may be a hot search news that they quickly skim through and then put aside. But if you carefully delve into his story, you will find that it is not only about the turning point of a player's destiny, but also a mirror reflecting the current state of Chinese football. Born in 1997, Hou Yongyong was destined to be different from ordinary people. Can you imagine a Chinese child growing up in the heart of European football, quietly becoming the "future star of Norway" under the blessing of talent and sweat? In Norway, Hou Yongyong has been widely acclaimed since his youth training days. He not only represented various Norwegian youth teams in competitions but also frequently grabbed headlines, being considered as the "all-round midfielder" of Norwegian football. But life always loves to flip the script. In 2019, after being recruited by the naturalization policy to China, Hou Yongyong joined Beijing Guoan, a powerhouse in the Chinese Super League (CSL). At that time, many people had high hopes for him, even thinking that he might become an absolute mainstay for the national team in the future. However, things did not go as expected, and his start was not smooth. Affected by injuries, adaptation periods, and other multiple…

The latest training roster for the national football team has caught people's attention not only because the average age has dropped to just over 26 years old, but also because there are more new faces. Looking at these young players with their energetic demeanor, one can't help but recall the fighting spirit of the national team when they qualified for the World Cup in the past. The injuries to Wu Lei and Jiang Guangtai came as a surprise, and the absence of these two key players has had a significant impact on the team. However, from another perspective, this also provides younger players with more opportunities to prove themselves. Among the eight new additions to the training roster, each player has their own unique characteristics and highlights. For example, Jian Tao's speed and breakthrough ability, Han Pengfei's defensive awareness, and the technical skills of the two post-00s players, Wu Mitijiang and Maiwulong. As the only player born in the 80s, Wang Dalei's status and role within the team have become even more important. He not only needs to command the defense on the field but also lead these young players to grow rapidly off the field. The competition for the goalkeeper position is exceptionally fierce. Besides Wang Dalei, the other young goalkeepers have performed well in the league, and this healthy competition is very helpful in improving the overall strength. Ivan's tactical approach is quite in line with the current characteristics of the national team, as the team is in a stage of transition between old and new players, requiring…

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…

The Chinese national football team is once again aiming for a spot in the World Cup, and this time, coach Ivan Kozlovic has made a bold move by selecting 11 post-00 players, with an average age of just 26. This significant overhaul suggests a departure from traditional methods. With veteran Wang Dalei still in the lineup, can this youthful squad withstand the pressure? As we look towards the 2026 World Cup, do we still have a chance? This is not just a list of names; it's a gamble! Let's take a look at this wave of young talent. These 11 post-00 players are full of energy, like a pack of ferocious young tigers. This isn't just about replacing players; it's about changing attitudes and expectations for the future. The vigor and determination of these young athletes could breathe new life into the national team. However, is this step too big? Young players lack experience, and what if they falter at crucial moments? Coach Ivan's boldness is commendable, but will this "burning the boats" mentality lead to a true transformation for the national team? In the past, Chinese footballers were often referred to as "white-cut chickens," but now with these young tigers, will perceptions change? This time, we're not just hoping for miracles; we see a glimmer of hope! Naturally, the addition of young players will bring changes in tactics, but how exactly will they unfold? That remains to be seen through Ivan's strategic deployment. Speaking of new players, we must mention Hou Yongyong. This挪甲金靴 (Norwegian First Division top scorer) with…

The spring of Chinese football has finally arrived! The greatest achievement of coach Ivan is his decisive action. He drove away the ball hooligans and slackers, ensuring that the "white cut chicken" of the sea cucumber team would not have the chance to slack off anymore. Ivan boldly recruited young players, allowing Chinese football to break free from the long-term control of a few ball hooligans and ushering in a new situation. Before this, Chinese football was like a heavy stone, unable to extricate itself from the shadow of the past. However, the arrival of Ivan coach was like a gust of wind, sweeping away the dark clouds hovering over the national football team. He dared to face the problems head-on and was even more courageous in challenging the old systems and rules, infusing Chinese football with new vitality. In last year's top 18 competition, the "slackers" who were older, disobedient, and slacking off completely exposed their true colors. This gave Ivan coach a clear understanding and also deeply saddened many fans. Ivan coach no longer tolerated such players, and he resolutely carried out a blood change. From the current national football training list, it can be seen that he is leading a "youth storm." The omission of former national football mainstay players such as Wu Lei and Jiang Guangtai is regrettable but fully demonstrates Ivan coach's determination and courage. He understands that only by massively recruiting young players can new vitality and hope be brought to Chinese football. Although these young players lack experience, they are passionate, determined, and…

Not an official announcement! Not a prediction! More accurate than betting companies' analysis of the national football team's starting lineup is right here! Wang, a 30-year-old veteran fan, uses his years of experience watching games to take you through an in-depth analysis of the new national football team training list and interpret Ivan Leko's two secret weapons! Excited yet? I've been watching national football matches for over twenty years, from wearing open-crotch pants to getting married and having children. I haven't missed a single game. Now that the new training list is out, my heart itches, and I can't help but want to chat with everyone. Let's start with this "blood transfusion." The absence of veterans like Liu Dianzuo, Jiang Guangtai, and Wu Lei must have caught everyone's attention. Liu Dianzuo, as a goalkeeper, faces fierce competition, so it's reasonable for him to be left out. Wu Lei has been plagued by injuries, and I heard this time he was seriously injured; he probably needs to rest for a while. As for Jiang Guangtai, the official reason given was injury, but we're not sure about the specifics. However, without this key player, the defensive line will definitely need readjustment. Of course, many newcomers have also emerged. Jiantao, Han Pengfei, Wu Shaocong... These young players, I hadn't paid much attention to them before. But since they've made it into the national team, they must have some skills. I hope they can seize the opportunity, perform well, and inject fresh blood into the national team. With this list out, the competition at…

On the afternoon of January 3rd, Beijing time, the Chinese Football Association announced a new national team training roster. A total of 32 national players were selected, with Wu Lei, Jiang Guangtai, and Alan all missing out due to injuries. Hou Yongyong, who was highly anticipated, finally received a call-up from Ivan Kozlovic, which was a great relief to many. In this latest training roster for the national team, Ivan not only called up Hou Yongyong, a previously uncapped naturalized player, but also called up two local rising stars, Buyu Lang Mijiti and Wumiti Jiang Yusup. Both of them are only 20 years old this year, with Buyu Lang Mijiti having been selected for the U21 national team before, while Wumiti Jiang Yusup has never even made it into the national youth team. Yet, Ivan dared to break the rules and promote this young defender into the national team, which truly requires extraordinary courage and vision. So, why did Ivan dare to simultaneously call up these two 20-year-old local rising stars into the national team? These two 20-year-old local rising stars, one a forward and the other a defender, represent the fresh blood of the national team's front line and backline. Buyu Lang Mijiti, as a member of the U21 national team, has already shown remarkable performance in the youth team, with his speed, technique, and shooting ability all ranking among the best of his peers. On the other hand, Wumiti Jiang Yusup, despite not even reaching the threshold of the national youth team, Ivan saw potential and possibility in…

The Chinese Football Association has announced the list for the January training camp in Haikou, which features several points of interest. The naturalized player Hou Yongyong has been selected for the first time, representing his strength as he plays in the Norwegian First Division. Also included is Wu Shaocong, who plays in the Polish league. However, due to injuries, Wu Lei and Jiang Guangtai from the Port team were unable to make the cut. The Chinese men's football team plans to hold a training camp in Haikou, Hainan Province from January 9th to 18th, 2025. The coaching staff will be led by Ivan Kraljevic, who has been actively communicating with his assistants and team management regarding winter training matters. He has called up 32 players for this winter training session. Most of these players have participated in the current World Cup qualifiers or were called up by Ivan's team last year, making them familiar faces. Hou Yongyong had an outstanding performance in the 2024 season of the Norwegian First Division. As the attacking core of Lanhjem, he played 29 times, scoring 19 goals and providing 8 assists, earning him both the Golden Boot and Best Player titles for the season. His excellent performance also raised his value to a personal record high of 400,000 euros. Looking at Beijing Guoan's situation, new coach Setien arrived in Beijing with his coaching staff in the early hours of January 4th and immediately underwent a physical examination. The team's key player Serginho also arrived in Beijing later that day. Members of the coaching staff…
