Live Bar, August 22nd. Yesterday, Chinese national football coach Ivan announced the roster for the two World Cup Asian qualifiers in September through live broadcast. Wu Lei, Wang Dalei and three naturalized players Alan, Jiang Guangtai and Fernando were selected.

Today, the Japanese media "football-zone" published an article titled "The value of the entire Chinese team of 27 players is not even as high as that of one Japanese player in Europe. Before the 18th round, China is full of pessimism that "less losses are better than wins"". It talked about the value of the Chinese national football team's roster and bluntly stated that the value of the entire Chinese national football team is not even as high as that of one player in the Japanese team. The media wrote:

Yesterday, the Chinese team announced the 27-man roster for the September round of 18. In an interview, Chinese coach Ivankovic said that the Japanese team is one of the strongest teams in Asia, but he also conducted a serious analysis of the Japanese team. He will give the players enough confidence and hope that the players can go all out to strive for an ideal result.

All 27 players are from the Chinese domestic league. Only some players such as Wu Lei, Wang Shangyuan, Lin Liangming and Zhang Yuning have overseas experience. The total value of the team is about 11 million euros, which is less than the value of one of the Japanese internationals Sugawara Yusei and Itakura Ko, who are both worth 12 million euros. Chinese fans also left comments on social media such as "Losing within 3 goals is considered a win", "It's good as long as we don't lose badly", and "It's a blessing to get 1 point in the two games against Japan and Saudi Arabia".

In recent years, a wave of naturalization has emerged in many Asian countries. Among them, the Chinese team has Jiang Guangtai, who debuted in the England youth training, and Alan from Brazil. The former has a resume from the England national youth team and he will be an important member of the Chinese team's defense line; the latter was once elected the Europa League top scorer and will partner with Wu Lei on the forward line, standing in front of the Japanese team.
