Although Ivankovic has called up 27 international players to the national football training roster, it does not mean that all 27 international players can participate in the World Cup qualifiers in September. Because according to FIFA's rigid regulations, after the World Cup qualifiers officially start, a national team can only register 23 players, which means that among the 27 international players selected this time, there are still 4 players who will be eliminated by Ivan and miss the World Cup qualifiers.

So, among the 27 national team players participating in the training camp, who are the four most likely to be abandoned by Ivan? The author believes that Ivan will weigh and consider multiple dimensions such as training status, personal experience, ability, and importance and scarcity in the national football tactical system, and then make the best decision for the survival of the fittest in the national football team.

If we combine the above dimensions to carry out the survival of the fittest, I think the following four international players are most likely to be abandoned by Ivankovic.

The first one is naturally goalkeeper Bao Yaxiong. Although Bao Yaxiong has performed well in Shanghai Shenhua this season, he is still relatively young. In terms of experience, he still has a long way to go compared to Yan Junling, Wang Dalei and Liu Dianzuo. The top 18 match of the Chinese national football team is crucial and there is no room for any mistakes. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Ivan will definitely not take the risk of using the inexperienced Bao Yaxiong and abandon the three experienced veterans Yan Junling, Wang Dalei and Liu Dianzuo.

The second one should be Han Pengfei on the back line. Although Han Pengfei performed well in Tianjin Jinmen Tiger this season, he was a forward who changed to a defender. He lacked experience and personal ability. In addition, the Chinese national team has Jiang Guangtai, Zhu Chenjie, Jiang Shenglong, Gao Zhunyi and other strong central defenders on the back line, so they can send out two lineups. Therefore, Pengfei's existence is not very meaningful.

The third player who may be abandoned by Ivan is Wei Zhen, a new international player from Shanghai SIPG. Like Han Pengfei, Wei Zhen has performed well in the Chinese Super League, but due to his lack of scarcity and competitiveness, he is also likely to be eliminated by Ivan at the end.

The fourth player who may be abandoned by Ivankovic is Cheng Jin, the midfielder from Zhejiang team. Although Cheng Jin has good personal ability and is good at both offense and defense in the midfield position, his ability is average in general. Compared with other selected midfielders, his technical characteristics are not distinct enough. In addition, he has almost no experience in the national football team, so it is very risky to use him. Therefore, there is a high probability that he will be abandoned by Ivankovic.

Although it is hard to accept that we were eliminated by the Chinese national football team before the game, this is the rule of football. As long as you are not strong enough, you may be eliminated. What do you think about this? Welcome to discuss in the comment section.
