Beiqing: Jankovic will finalize the national football training list next week
Live broadcast on August 12th according to the report of Beijing Youth Daily, according to the plan, the Chinese men’s football team will concentrate in Chengdu at the end of August or early September, and then prepare for two international A- level warm-up matches with Malaysia team and Syria. Some players, such as Wu Xi, the team leader who returned from injury and the naturalized International Fernando, will return to the national football team without accident.
It is understood that the national football coach Jankovic returned to Serbian parents for vacation shortly after he went to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on July 27 to participate in the group draw for the FIFA World Cup qualification Asian top 36 competition. He is expected to return to China in the middle of next week. The preparations for the new phase of national football training, especially the selection of training players, will be fully implemented after he comes back.
Up to now, although the candidates for the national football team to participate in the top 36 FIFA World Cup qualification 2026 have not been finalized. However, the coaching staff has initially set a list of training options for more than 40 people for the three training sessions in March, June and September. That is to say, the candidates who participate in the team’s training and warm-up in September will emerge from it. It is understood that after Jankovic returns to China, he will immediately go to the Super League to inspect the candidate country. Including the 23rd round of “Beijing-Shanghai War”, many competitions will be the target of Yankovic’s investigation.
If there is no accident, Wu Xi, the captain who was absent from the national football team’s training in June due to serious injuries in the first round of “Shanghai derby” of the Super League this season, will definitely return to the team as long as he is in good health. Naturalized players are also the focus of the national football coaching team. Before that, Exxon and Jiang Guangtai had returned to the national football team, while Fernando and Li Ke, who left behind the Super League, were also in the range of the national football team.
Relatively speaking, Fernando, who has outstanding offensive characteristics, is more likely to return to the team in this period. Since joining the Shandong Taishan club at the beginning of this year, Fernando has played 16 times on behalf of the team (including one FA Cup), scored 2 goals and assisted once. Although the first appearance was only 3 times (including the FA Cup once), the impact was still strong. Since Wei Shihao was affected by the violation of rules and regulations in the league for a while, he was banned for many rounds. Therefore, whether Yankovic would recruit him to participate in the new episode of training has some doubts.
As for whether Li Ke can return to the team, the coaching staff needs to make decisions according to the needs of the game. After all, there are relatively abundant candidates for the back seat of the national football team.
