On January 3rd, the Chinese men's national football team announced its latest training squad list. From the 9th to the 18th of this month, the national team will be training in Haikou. This 32-man squad sees the continued absence of top star Wu Lei due to injury, while head coach Ivanković has called up many newcomers to continue the process of rejuvenation. Compared to the previous squad list announced in November last year for the preparation of the World Cup qualifiers' Asian zone 18-team round against Bahrain and Japan, there are significant changes: Liu Dianzuo, Jiang Guangtai, and Wu Lei did not make it into this squad list. Coach Ivan has called up eight new faces: Jian Tao, Han Pengfei, Wu Shaocong, Wu Mitijiang, Huang Zhengyu, Maiwulang, Yang Liyu, and Hou Yongyong. Of course, this is just a training squad list, and Coach Ivan's goal is to better understand and familiarize himself with the players through training, laying the groundwork for selecting players for the upcoming 18-team round. There are two major surprises in this national team squad list: Firstly, the national team has become younger. The average age of this 32-man squad is 26.7 years old, with only goalkeeper Wang Dalei being from the 80s generation. Eleven players, including Jian Tao, Zhu Chenjie, Jiang Shenglong, Hu Hetao, Wu Mitijiang, Xie Weneng, and Tao Qianglong, are post-00s. Two young players, Maiwulang Mijiti and Wu Mitijiang Yuspup, were both born in 2004. The rise of the post-00s generation has become a mainstay. Looking at the age structure, the selection of players…

The Chinese Football Association has officially announced the first phase of the national team's 27-man training squad, which is quite eye-catching and exciting! The addition of four new naturalized players, Hou Yongyong, Delgado, Oscar, and Serginho, has injected fresh blood into the national team, making us eager to see them perform on the field!‌ Hou Yongyong, who has been successful in the Norwegian First Division and has already obtained Chinese citizenship, is a popular choice for the national team. If he performs well in training, his position as a starter seems secure. Once Oscar and Serginho complete their naturalization procedures, the strength of the national team will significantly increase!‌ The announcement of this training squad is not only a great affirmation of the players' individual abilities but also a clear signal that the national team wants to make a difference on the international stage. With the 18-strong competition approaching, the national team urgently needs change and possibilities! The addition of these new faces may bring new tactical options and combat capabilities, allowing us to create more surprises and highlights on the field!‌ Moreover, I noticed that young players occupy a considerable proportion in this list. What does this mean? It means that the Football Association truly values the cultivation and development of young players. In the future, these young guys will be the ones to carry the national team! Their participation not only brings freshness and vitality to the team but also promotes healthy competition within the team, enhancing overall strength, which is a win-win situation!‌ I must say that…
