The Chinese national football team has announced its latest training squad, which includes a total of 32 players. Among them, three newcomers have been selected for the national team for the first time: Hou Yongyong, Wumiti Jiang, and Maiwulang. The selection of these three players demonstrates Ivan Kovic's strong determination to rejuvenate the national team! In this national team list, the major contributors are Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Shenhua, and Shandong Taishan, three traditional powerhouse teams. These teams have been strong since the Jia A period and remain highly competitive to this day, demonstrating their deep roots! This season's Chinese Super League champion, Shanghai Port, only has two players selected: Yan Junling and Wei Zhen. From this list, it can be seen that Ivan Kovic's lineup still focuses on young players, with many veterans not selected and unlikely to be selected for the national team in the future! Wu Lei and Jiang Guangtai from Shanghai Port did not make the national team this time due to injuries. Considering their outstanding abilities, they are indispensable for the future national team! Zhang Linpeng and Li Ang, who were frequent members of the national team before, were not selected this time. Zhang Linpeng is already 35 years old, and Li Ang is also 31 years old. Both players have shown obvious declines in form and are unlikely to be selected for the national team in the future! Among other players, Wu Xi, Xie Pengfei, and Gao Tianyi from Shanghai Shenhua, Liu Binbin from Shandong Taishan, and Liu Dianzuo from Wuhan Three Towns were not…

Hello everyone, I'm your blogger Gui Zai. Today, let's talk about a heavyweight figure in Chinese football - Li Xiaopeng. After experiencing the ups and downs as the head coach of the national team, this former Shandong Luneng meritorious coach has finally chosen an unusual path - returning to his hometown to coach Qingdao Hainiu. This decision not only demonstrates his infinite love and dedication to football but also allows us to see the sentiment and responsibility that a professional coach should have. Li Xiaopeng's return to coaching Qingdao Hainiu is a decision with great symbolic significance in his career. As a representative figure of Shandong football, Li Xiaopeng won widespread acclaim from fans during his time at Luneng for his stable tactical layout and deep football heritage. Although he was unable to leave his name on the honor roll of top league championships, the feat of leading the team into the FA Cup final twice is enough to prove that his coaching ability cannot be underestimated. After experiencing the brief ups and downs of the national team's coaching position, Li Xiaopeng did not choose to escape or retreat but bravely faced the challenges and proved his worth with practical actions. This time, he chose to return to his hometown to coach Qingdao Hainiu, which is not only a nostalgic look back at his football sentiment but also a deep friendship towards the development of his hometown's football.

However, during an away match against Tianjin Jinmen Tiger in August, Wu Mitijiang suffered a severe head injury and was later diagnosed with a depressed skull fracture on the right parietal temporal bone, for which he underwent surgery. Wu Mitijiang had already participated in the U21 national team training last month and his recovery has been quite good. It is understood that Ivan Kozlovic has repeatedly observed Wu Mitijiang and is quite impressed with his performance. Other players selected for the latest national team training…

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.

The year 2024 has become a thing of the past, and as the new year bell of 2025 rings, the time for the resumption of the final four rounds of the top 18 qualifiers is drawing near. The highlight of Chinese football in 2025 will still be the World Cup qualifiers in the Asian region, with the Chinese men's national team making another push for qualification in the final stages. The national team's first appearance in 2025 will be an away challenge against Saudi Arabia, scheduled for 1 AM Beijing time on March 21, 2025. If the national team can create a miracle by defeating Saudi Arabia, the possibility of direct qualification will greatly increase. Saudi Arabia is a traditional powerhouse in Asian football, currently ranked 59th in the world and 8th in Asia. However, the entire year of 2024 was a disaster for the Saudi team. They were eliminated in the round of 16 at the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year, which was their worst performance in the competition. Then, in the group stage of the World Cup qualifiers in the Asian region, Saudi Arabia suffered a surprising home defeat to Jordan in the last round, resulting in the loss of the top spot in the group to Jordan. Consequently, they could only participate in the draw for the top 18 as a third-tier team and were ultimately placed in the "group of death," Group C. Mancini, the famous coach who led Italy to win the European Championship, arrived in Saudi Arabia after the Qatar World…

As the calendar turns to a new year in 2025, it seems as though the sky of Chinese football has been illuminated overnight. A photo of an air ticket quietly went viral on social media, featuring Brazilian player Serginho, who formally announced his return from the distant Sao Paulo to once again set foot on this land full of hope. This news is like a spring breeze sweeping over the calm lake, stirring the hearts of fans. Serginho's journey was not without its challenges. He had to transit through Doha, Qatar, and after a long flight, he arrived in Beijing at dusk on January 3rd. Despite the fatigue of the journey, his heart was filled with excitement and longing. He knew that this return not only meant that he would once again don the Beijing Guoan jersey but also that he might have the precious opportunity to represent the Chinese national team in the World Cup qualifiers. Such an honor is something that any player who has left their homeland and sweated in foreign lands dreams of. Mentioning Serginho brings fans' memories back to his glorious years with Changchun Yatai. As the team's midfield commander, he injected powerful momentum into Changchun Yatai's offense with precise passing, sharp breakthroughs, and calm shooting. Last season, he made 25 appearances, contributing 8 assists and 8 goals, which is enough to prove his extraordinary strength. When the news of Serginho's return spread, fans were overjoyed and eagerly anticipated his return to bring victory to the team. The Chinese football world is undergoing a profound…

On January 3rd, Beijing time, the Chinese men's national football team announced its first training list for the new year. The naturalized player Hou Yongyong, who was highly anticipated, finally made his first selection. In addition, newcomers such as Maiwulang and Wumiti Jiang were also on the list, while national team captain Wu Lei and veteran Alan were left out of the squad. So what are the highlights of this national team list? Highlight 1: 3 newcomers make their debut! 20-year-old twin stars could be a surprise Hou Yongyong, Wumiti Jiang, and Maiwulang are all making their first appearance on the national team training list. Besides Hou Yongyong, who is 26 years old and in his prime, both Wumiti Jiang and Maiwulang were born in 2004. Maiwulang plays as an attacking midfielder, while Wumiti Jiang plays as a central defender. Both of them, along with Baihelamu, another Xinjiang player, possess a tenacious and positive playing style, and they dare to fight in matches. Perhaps they can also become a pleasant surprise for the national team in the future. Highlight 2: Wu Lei, Jiang Guangtai, and Liu Dianzuo not selected for this training session Compared to the last training list in 2024, Wu Lei, Jiang Guangtai, and Liu Dianzuo were not selected. Both Wu Lei and Jiang Guangtai missed this training session due to physical reasons. As for Liu Dianzuo, who has long served as the third goalkeeper, he has given way to Jian Tao and Han Jiaqi this time. This may also be one of Ivan's measures to promote the…

Recently, the biggest scandal in domestic football is undoubtedly that of a 21-year-old Chinese professional footballer who was exposed to such a major scandal. At such a young age, he has already been with hundreds of women and even caused multiple pregnancies. It must be said that such an exposure is indeed speechless. Some fans expressed that it is no wonder that Chinese football cannot improve; how can one play well on the field with such a style? There is no strength or focus on the field, all used off the field. What surprised the fans somewhat is that the younger brother of this young player is also Zhang Yuning, the core main player of the national team. You know, Zhang Yuning has a very positive image among Chinese football players, and he is also very professional, playing football very well. But unexpectedly, he has a younger brother who has been exposed to such a scandal. A few days ago, someone suddenly exposed online that Zhang Yuning's younger brother, Zhang Yuquan, had a big scandal. At that time, a netizen named "Zhang Yuquan, when will you hide?" suddenly posted a long article on social media, denouncing Zhang Yuquan (currently playing for Shenzhen Xinpengcheng U21) for forcibly engaging in a relationship without the consent of both parties and causing her pregnancy, then disappearing irresponsibly. At that time, the netizen posted screenshots of some of their chat records online, leaving a message "The younger brother of the current national team, when do you want to hide?" and also @ed Zhang Yuquan and…

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…
