So the question is, why did the national football coach Ivankovic recruit Hou Yongyong, a naturalized player who has left China to play for the first time? There are two reasons for this, as follows:

First:There is a strong desire to participate in the World Preliminary Tournament for the national football team！ Although Hou Yongyong left the Chinese Super League and returned to play in the Norwegian First Division, he is still Chinese, and Hou Yongyong is always looking forward to fighting for the national football team. Ivankovic had an online exchange with Hou Yongyong last autumn, when Hou Yongyong expressed a strong willingness to play for the national football team.

Second:Hou Yongyong played amazingly！ Hou Yongyong is the Golden Boot of the Norwegian First Division this season and the Player of the Season, starting all 29 Norwegian First League games and scoring 19 goals.

Ivankovic hopes to make the national football squad younger, and Hou Yongyong, a 26-year-old foreign player who is in his playing years, is Ivankovic's new choice in the forward position. Without the sophistication of the Chinese men's football team, it will definitely become stronger in the future, let's wait and see!
