China's soccer problems stem from coaching to grassroots. Its all about structural issues. No coaching change will erase this deficit. I fear for Lippi
It's Official MARCELLO LIPPI is CHINA MANAGER. The Chinese FA are even reporting it on their own website. http://fa.org.cn/ http://slide.sports.sina.com.cn/n_n/slide_2_789_114604.html/d/1#p=1
Good luck China even though I think it's mission impossible at this point. You can still fight for playoffs.
Please keep Qatar, Uzbekistan and South Korea busy. It can be a good practice for AC or other competitions. I guess it is a little late for Fifa 2018 now.
CFA announces the 25-man squad for the matches of World Cup qualifiers against Qatar on 15 Nov. The intensive training will be from 3 to 15 Nov. Player list: Beijing Guo'an: Yang Zhi, Yu Dabao, Zhang Chengdong, Zhang Xizhe ... Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao: Feng Xiaoting, Gao Lin, Huang Bowen, Li Xuepeng, Mei Fang, Zhang Linpeng, Zheng Zhi Guangzhou R&F: Jiang Zhipeng Jiangsu Suning: Li Ang, Wu Xi Shandong Luneng: Hao Junmin, Wang Dalei, Zhao Mingjian Shanghai SIPG: Cai Huikang, Fu Huan, Wu Lei, Yan Junling, Yu Hai Shanghai Shenhua: Cao Yunding Tianjin Quanjian: Sun Ke SBV Vitesse: Zhang Yuning
Not too much different than the previous. No Du Wei or Zhang Xiaobin I don't understand the inclusion of Fu Huan Still waiting for Ji Xiang to get called up
And yet it is arguably the best lineup we have seen called up for like what, eternity? That is how pathetic the recent personnel selections have been. This is already way better than what Perrin was doing after he continuously left off Zhang Xizhe and Huang Bowen for no reason when the team had no creativity whatsoever in the final third. Im sure once Lippi settles in he will be able to discover newer players such as Ji Xiang and Xie Pengfeng. The guy has been away from the CSL for 2 years now so he probably selected players he knew most about
Cao Yunding is a great call-up after the season he's had with Shenhua. Excited to see him play for China.
Hi, guys. Will you guys be discussing January's China Cup on this thread? This is our thread: http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/china-cup-2017-r.2036968/page-2#post-34899139 Feel free to join the discussion: we're already speculation about who the coach will call up, which most likely won't include any foreign-based players. Regards.
Hope China begin to improve under Lippi's management, but feel like they will, they have been playing much better. Just need to get the results now. If any of you could take the time to fill out a survey I have for Chinese EPL fans, I would be very grateful, thanks. https://strathbusiness.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3qvFKIOyFU0izhH
Its not an important cup, so they aren't going to field their best players. Probably only an experimental squad
This tourney doesn't fall on a FIFA date. Well, sort of: as I mentioned above this tourney does not fall on a FIFA date. That being said, Pizzi, Chile's coach, did call up 3 starters: Jara, Beausejour and Edú Vargas. The first two play in Chile and Vargas is based in Germany but his club coach doesn't rate him so he'd probably care less if he plays in China or not. Did Lippi announce China's squad?
Lippi called up a very experimental squad for Iceland. Most of the squad has never been called up to play for China before. GK: Yan Junling, Yang Qipeng, Zou Dehai DF: Bai Yuefeng, Yang Shanping, Bai Jiajun, Fu Huan, Gao Zhunyi, Li Jianbin, Pei Shuai MF: Cai Huikang, Hu Rentian, Cao Yunding, Hui Jiakang, Chen Zhongliu, Chi Zhongguo, Cui Min, Fan Xiaodong, Feng Gang, Wang Jinxian, Yin Hongbo FW: Wu Lei, Mao Jianqing
Changchun Yatai: Pei Shuai, Fan Xiaodong Dalian Yifang: Wang Jinxian Hangzhou Greentown: Zou Dehai, Chen Zhongliu, Feng Gang Hebei China Fortune: Gao Zhunyi Henan Jianye: Yin Hongbo Liaoning Whowin: Yang Shanping Shanghai Shenhua: Bai Jiajun, Li Jianbin, Cao Yunding, Mao Jianqing Shanghai SIPG: Yan Junling, Fu Huan, Cai Huikang, Wu Lei Tianjin Teda: Yang Qipeng, Bai Yuefeng, Hu Rentian, Hu Jiakang Yanbian Fude: Chi Zhongguo, Cui Min
