Before the final battle in Thailand, Ivankovic was troubled by two major problems, and it was a worry if the national football team could not get through

As the world preliminary match is approaching, the Chinese men's football coach Ivankovic and his coaching team are currently investigating potential international players in each division of the Chinese Super League. According to the latest report of Zhao Rui, a reporter of the Daily News, Ivan and his national football coaching team have drawn up a training list of about 40 people based on the investigation. Of course, the list of 40 people is only a preliminary election. At that time, there may not be more than 30 people who are really selected for the new national football training.

At present, Ivankovic has two major problems. First, the leading player, Wu Lei, will definitely miss the match against Thailand on June 6 due to his accumulated yellow card suspension. After Wu Lei is absent, who can replace him to carry the banner of front court attack for the national football team? If Ivankovic can't properly solve this problem and find a replacement that is enough to replace Wu Lei, it will be very difficult for the Thai team to play this game, and even the prospect of qualification is worrying.

The second problem that troubled Ivankovic was the accidental injury of naturalized ace Fernando. Fernando's injury has been diagnosed as the injury of the long head of the right lateral thigh muscle and biceps femoris. Although this injury is not serious, it is hard to say how long the recovery will last. Once Fernando cannot catch up with the national team's match against Thailand on June 6, it will be very troublesome. Fernando is the key player in the front court next to Wu Lei. Although he may not be able to score goals, his instigation and creativity on the wing are important means of the national football team's front court attack. If Fernando is absent due to injury, Ivankovic must also find a replacement with equal ability. If he can't find one, or just find one, the national football team may also be difficult to defeat Thailand.

At present, the naturalized player Alan, who is gradually recovering in the CSL, may become a replacement for Wu Lei. At the peak, Alan not only had outstanding ability to seize opportunities in front of the door, but also had super creativity in the front court like Wu Lei. However, although Alan's recent condition has recovered, there is still a big gap between his good condition in Evergrande and his good condition in the past. When the time comes to play Thailand, whether Alan can plug and play in the national team will be a question mark. However, if Alan is not used, who can say that he is better than Alan?

However, if Fernando is really absent due to injury, Ivan will also find a replacement for him. At present, Wei Shihao, Xie Pengfei, Lin Liangming and others can play Fernando in the national team, but Wei Shihao is the most suitable one. Wei Shihao is not only fast, explosive and creative in the front court, but also has the same mental quality as Fernando. The only problem is that he is short tempered and impulsive.

From this point of view, it seems that these two problems have been solved, but it is hard to say whether Alan and Weishihao can work and live up to Ivankovich's expectations on the court. It can be said that whether their performance is satisfactory or not may directly determine the prospects of the national football team.
