In the world of football, every gathering of the national team carries the hopes and dreams of countless fans. However, recently, the Chinese national football team has been embroiled in an unexpected storm. After Ivan took over as the head coach of the national team, he intended to lead the team on a new journey. However, a series of events where players withdrew from the national team were like boulders causing waves on what was once a calm lake. The day after the announcement of the national team training roster, news spread rapidly through the football circle like a bombshell: another player had announced his withdrawal from the national team. This news immediately sparked high attention from the media and fans, with everyone speculating about which player had made such a decision. Since Ivan took office, such incidents have occurred multiple times, undoubtedly leaving him both angry and helpless. Ivan, this experienced coach, has always harbored the dream of leading Chinese football to new heights, but now faces the embarrassing situation of players continuously fleeing training sessions. In interviews with the media, Ivan's tone revealed obvious dissatisfaction and disappointment. He firmly stated that he would never again call up players who do not want to play for China, with a determined gaze and serious expression showing his emphasis and determination on this matter. Ivan later confirmed that naturalized forward Fernandinho would miss the latest national team training due to personal matters. "He will not return to the national team because of some personal issues." Ivan's words were concise and clear,…

"Where is the future of the national football team?" - This is a question that every Chinese fan has asked countless times. At the beginning of the new year, the training of the Chinese men's national football team started in a confusing way: many core players, including naturalized players and veterans, have applied to leave the team one after another. Is this unexpected or reasonable? Is it a crisis or a hint of some opportunity? For the newly appointed head coach of the national football team, Ivan Kozlovic, the start of 2023 was not easy. One after another application for withdrawal from the team came like a "warning shot," catching the new commander off guard. From naturalized players to veterans, and even the captain of the national football team, Wu Xi, everyone had different reasons, but they all pointed to a common point: they wanted to "quit." Let's take a look at the naturalized players first. Fernandinho did not succeed in renewing his contract with the club and openly stated that his future was uncertain, so he was not ready to participate in the training; another naturalized player, Alan, also submitted an application, citing his increasing age and unwillingness to continue. Next comes the veteran Zhang Linpeng, who simply announced his withdrawal from the team after the game, although he later changed his mind and said he would maintain his form, he was never called up again. Finally, there is the most eye-catching captain Wu Xi, who proactively stated that his abilities were insufficient and he could no longer serve…

Recently, a series of withdrawal incidents has once again made Chinese football the focus of public opinion. From the national team captain Wu Xi's voluntary application for withdrawal, to the departure of naturalized players Alan and Fernandinho, and then to Zhang Linpeng's "withdrawal incident", many fans began to ask: "What's wrong with Chinese football? Are the national players unable to see hope, or is there another hidden situation?" Withdrawal is an individual choice, but when a group of players withdraw from the national team one after another, things become intriguing. Is this a coincidence, or are there problems with the management and environment of the national team? What is even more disturbing is that in the face of these withdrawals, the attitude of the national team coach Ivan Kozlovic seems surprisingly "calm," with almost no intention of retaining them, and even with a hint of "closing the door and leaving." Behind this cold treatment, is it absolute confidence, or is it going with the flow out of helplessness? To understand what's behind this, we have to start with a few things. First, let's talk about Wu Xi. As the captain of the national team, his withdrawal application is undoubtedly the most shocking. According to Wu Xi's own statement, he withdrew because of "insufficient ability" and did not want to drag down the national team. However, as a veteran who has been playing in the top league of Chinese football for many years and a midfielder who was once highly regarded, how could he suddenly doubt his ability? This sounds like…
