Fernando and Jiang Guangtai both retired from training due to injuries. Where will Li Tie's "strongest lineup" go to run in?

Fernando and Jiang Guangtai both retired from training due to injuries. Li Tie's "strongest lineup" needs to recruit more players to run in.

Misfortune never comes singly! After the national football team recruited Xu Xin to replace Jiang Guangtai because of his injury, bad news came again from the "naturalized legion". After Evergrande defeated Zhejiang Greentown 6-2 in its last warm-up match, Fernando scored a wonderful goal but entered the "injury camp." As the Chinese Super League draws closer, news about Guangzhou Evergrande is slowly emerging. According to the latest announcement from the Chinese Football Association, in preparation for the "Top 40 Tournament" of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, two players, Xu Xin and Zheng Zheng, will be recruited. It is reported that the main reason why the two were recruited was because Jiang Guangtai and Hao Junmin were injured at the club.

Good luck and bad luck come unexpectedly! Jiang Guangtai was injured, and the national football team recruited Xu Xin to join the national football team

In preparation for the "Top 40" of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the Chinese men's football team announced the latest roster. Guangzhou Evergrande president has six people selected, including Exon, Fernando, Jiang Guangtai, Alan, Wei Shihao and Liu Dianzuo. What I never expected was that Jiang Guangtai suffered an injury during training at Evergrande, and the Chinese Football Association immediately took countermeasures. According to the latest announcement from the Chinese Football Association, it can be learned that Xu Xin from Guangzhou Evergrande and Zheng Zheng from Shandong Luneng will be supplemented.

It is reported that in addition to Jiang Guangtai being injured, Hao Junmin is also injured, so defender Zheng Zheng and midfielder Xu Xin have the opportunity to join the national football team as substitutes. As we all know, Jiang Guangtai suffered many blows entering 2021. After helping Evergrande finish the AFC Champions League last season, he temporarily stayed in Spain for a vacation. Subsequently, he was unable to return to China after contracting the disease. After returning to Evergrande to experience the "14+7" hotel life, he participated in two games against Shaanxi Changan Athletic and Changchun Yatai. Jiang Guangtai suffered an injury after the two warm-up matches and missed the national football training camp on March 21.

However, the person who replaced Jiang Guangtai was not someone else, but Xu Xin, who had just decided not to renew his contract with Guangzhou Evergrande. This player, who has changed back and forth between Guangzhou Evergrande's main and substitute positions, after his contract with Guangzhou Evergrande ends at the end of 2020, he does not plan to renew his contract but joins Shandong Luneng. Now, Xu Xin has once again been selected for the national football team instead of Jiang Guangtai. Such a coincidence has made fans speculate.

What should the national football team do?

Fernando's injury will definitely hamper Guangzhou Evergrande's counterattack. After all, the "Little Motorcycle"'s lightning-fast breakthroughs have long frightened the Chinese Super League teams. Therefore, without Fernando, Guangzhou Evergrande lacks a sharp sword. However, Guangzhou Evergrande still has many attackers who are gearing up for this opportunity. Alan, who played for Guoan last season, has returned to the team. His excellent escape ability and superb shooting skills have been welcomed by Cannavaro and the fans. He replaced Fernando as Evergrande's starter, which was also a change in tactics.

The "Yang-Wei Combination" made a name for themselves in the 2019 season, ranking among the best in terms of goals and assists among local players. I believe that Yang Liyu, who lost himself in 2020, can be reborn after reuniting with Wei Shihao in the 2021 season. As for the national team, there are four naturalized players recruited in the latest training list. Fernando has high hopes from the national football team because of his powerful attacking ability. Even on his birthday, the national football team issued a special post to "celebrate" him. However, when Fernando gets injured, the national football team may have to find someone to replace him like Jiang Guangtai and Hao Junmin were injured before.

Now, there are two options left for Li Tie: 1. Recruit a naturalized player, Luo Guofu, Li Ke, and Hou Yongyong all have opportunities; 2. Recruit a player in the same position, and Hong Kong's Lu Wenjun, Evergrande's Yang Liyu, Luneng's Wu Xinghan, and Shenhua's Cao Yunding are all good choices.

While Zhang Linpeng was recovering from injury in Guangzhou Evergrande, Jiang Guangtai suffered an injury due to "too much pressure" on the defense. Subsequently, Fernando scored in the warm-up match but entered the "injured camp". On the other hand, before the latest training session of the Chinese men’s football team started, three international players had to withdraw due to injuries. Nowadays, both Guangzhou Evergrande and the Chinese Men's Football Team need to seize the time to make adjustments. They must not only test the physical health of the national players, but also find suitable substitutes to avoid affecting the team's future goals.
