On February 28, Beijing time, in order to prepare for the round of 18 against Saudi Arabia and Australia, the Chinese men's football team announced the latest 32-member training list of the national team. And this list once again shows Ivankovic's determination and courage to "renew" the national football team.

Of the 32 selected internationals, a total of five were selected for the first time. Wang Yudong, Liu Chengyu, Wang Shiqin, Liu Haofan, and Xu Bin are all 18 to 21 years old, and they are all hopeful stars whose careers are on the rise.

These 5 people, together with Bai Helamu, Xie Wenneng, Hu Hetao, and other new stars who have already performed brilliantly in the round of 18, have greatly reduced the average age of the national football team. It is reported that the average age of the players on this training list is 26.72 years old. The "post-00" players have become the main force of the national football list, and 11 post-00 players have been selected, including Jiang Shenglong, Hu Hetao, Wu Shaocong, Wang Shiqin, Liu Haofan, Wang Haijian, Xie Wenneng, Xu Bin, Liu Chengyu, Wang Yudong, and Bai Helamu.

Among them, Hu Hetao, Wang Shiqin, Liu Haofan, and Bai Helamu were born in 2003, Xu Bin was born in 2004, and the youngest are Wang Yudong and Liu Chengyu, both of whom were born in 2006. Among them, Jiang Shenglong, Hu Hetao, Xie Wenneng, and Bai Helamu have served as the main players in the national team. If it weren't for Zhu Chenjie's loss due to injury, he would have been a member of the main squad of the national football team.

And with the young people's "grabbing class and power", the veterans of the national football team are gradually retiring. Only 35-year-old Wang Dalei is on this list, and he is a post-80s generation. Regardless of whether the national football team can successfully break through to the round of 18 in this year, at least from the perspective of squad renewal, Ivankovic's approach is worthy of praise.
