Back then you had some impressive players. Sun Jihai, Shao Jiayi, Li Weifeng, Li Tie, and Zheng Zhi, these players were awesome.
sun jihai = still plays today shao jiayi = just retired li weifeng = working for club management li tie = works as a coach zheng zhi = still plays today for evergrande netizens on hupu is asking gao hongbo to consider putting zheng zhi as substitute player; but i guess this won't be happening because gao hongbo never really called up zheng zhi in his tenure (he only called zheng zhi up once on a friendly)
the chinese FA has not announced if gao hongbo will continue his job yet. i hope they won't replace him with a foreign coach (if that happens, camacho 2.0 might happen)
Judging by Gao Hongbo's reaction after the win when asked this question, I'm afraid it's a done deal. The excuse will be if we look further into the future ie WCF we'll need someone a lot better than Gao. I wouldn't mind it if it's going to be Lippi. He has the ability and common sense to figure things out. But less than that kind of caliber, any new foreign coach should be either an assistant coach to Head Coach Gao or someone who can work closely with Gao as the head of the Chinese coaching staff, otherwise it's indeed a repeat of the Camacho fiasco.
Living here in Shanghai and supporting SIPG I'm still over the moon with Wu Lei's performance Tuesday. His effort set up the first goal and his run into space drilled the second. His haircut can thus be excused.
86% of the netizens want Gao Hongbo to stay. And the CFA has listened to the voice of the people, for once. Gao Hongbo is staying on as the head coach. http://news.sina.com.cn/s/wh/2016-04-01/doc-ifxqxcnr5186640.shtml
If we hire a foreign coach it has to be someone of really high quality, someone like Lippi. Otherwise it's better to stick with a local who can understand the players better.
2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying - Third Round (GROUP A) Iran South Korea Uzbekistan China Qatar Syria Realistic for China to at least get 3rd place and move to the playoff round?
At best. I just don't see China coming above Korea or Iran, and the Uzbeks are playing well at the moment. If China ends up 4th in the group, I reckon that would be a decent campaign for them, and anything more would be a bonus.
Very even group in my eyes, South Korea and Iran clearly favourites, but Uzbekistan is not far behind them in terms of strength, and I´d consider us and Qatar just slightly behind Uzbekistan with Syria the weakest team in the group. I think any team is capable of taking points from each other so no team can really relax here. I can´t really predict the results in this group, but a third place finish does seem very possible.
高洪波透露，9月份前会打两场热身赛，“首选一支西亚球队，毕竟我们的5个对手中有3支西亚球队，另外也要找一支跟乌兹别克斯坦队类型接近的球队。” 据透露，澳大利亚队已经表示希望6月份邀请中国队进行两场热身赛，但高洪波第一时间跟抽签前线小组进行沟通，要求联系沙特队和伊拉克队热身。 Gao Hongbo said he will arrange two friendlies before September. "The primary choice would be a West Asian team, since 3 of 5 of our opponents are from West Asia. Also (I) need to find a friendly competitor that is similar to Uzbekistan." According to news, Australia wished to invite China for two friendly games; but Gao Hongbo have already contacted Saudi Arabia and Iraq for friendlies.
Best case scenario for China: - 1 point vs. Iran and South Korea - 4 points vs. Qatar and Uzbekistan - 6 points vs. Syria This means we can get 3rd place. If Iran or South Korea slips up, there is a small chance we can get 2nd. Never say no!

Trinidad and Tobago’s Senior Men’s Team will have a third international match added to its slate of international fixtures scheduled to start on May 23rd after confirming a Friendly with China’s National Senior Team to be played on June 3rd in the City of Qin Huang Dao. http://ttfootball.org/2016/04/26/tt-senior-men-books-june-3rd-friendly-away-to-china/
What lineup would you guys like Gao Hongbo to put out for the final round? For me: Gao Lin Wu Lei Ji Xiang - Huang Bowen - Zhang Xizhe - Hao Junmin Ren Hang - Feng Xiaoting - Zhang Linpeng - Wang Shenchao Zeng Cheng
My XI (would like Zheng Zhi but we all know he's not getting picked by Gao Hongbo): Zeng Cheng Zhang Linpeng - Feng Xiaoting - Ren Hang - Jiang Zhipeng Huang Bowen - Hao Junmin - Wu Xi Wu Lei - Gao Lin - Zhang Xizhe
That starting line-up would probably be the best that china can offer at the moment, but I would take out Jiang Zhipeng as he is a liability defensively and doesn't really offer that much going forward. Really unfortunate that Zou Zheng suffered that grave injury or else he would have been a great choice. Ren Hang plays LB for Jiangsu so maybe move him to the left and find another CB? Really want to see how younger players like Li Ang and Shi Ke would do.
Kazakhstan receive invitation to play a friendly against China in early June. http://sport.kg/thefootball/footbal...varischeskiy-match-s-kitaem.html#.Vyi0NW6LSUk
