In the 4th round of the AFC Champions League Elite League, Beijing time on November 6, Shandong Taishan challenged Pohang Steelers as a guest, and in the game, Taishan international double stars Gao Zhunyi and Li Yuanyi, who had just been selected for the national football team, retired from injury one after another, and whether they could play in the key battle between the national football team and Bahrain in the top 18 after 8 days, sharply increased doubts.
At the end of the first half of the game, Taishan's main fullback Gao Zhunyi was suspected of being strained and carried off the court on a stretcher, and Liu Yang came on as a substitute.
The core of the midfield, Li Yuanyi, slipped and injured himself after receiving the ball during a defensive process, and insisted on playing the first half of the game after a short treatment by the team doctor. He was replaced by Kazaishvili after half-time. And the two are on the list in the latest national football list announced by Ivan.
Not only this game, but in yesterday's match between Shanghai Port and Kawasaki Frontale, Jiang Guangtai, a naturalized international player of Shanghai Port, suffered a ligament injury in the game and was substituted after half-time. In just 2 days, 3 international players have retired injured in the AFC Champions League. The main strikers of the national football team, Wu Lei and Fernando, did not play in this round of the AFC Champions League because of injuries.
In other words, Gao Zhunyi, Li Yuanyi, Jiang Guangtai, Fernando and Wu Lei, the five international players who have been selected into the latest 27-man list of the national football team, all have the possibility of not being able to play in the key battle with Bahrain 8 days later, and these 5 people are still the absolute main force, which really makes the national football coach Ivankovic feel a headache.
After witnessing the successive injuries of international players, Ma Dexing also questioned the Chinese Football Association and the AFC: "How is the schedule for the whole season arranged?" The department in charge of the league is now in a state of rest, and the year of work is over anyway. As for whether the players are tired or not, they don't care. Hey, in this state, expect Chinese football to turn over? ”
