Sun Jungho's situation is far more complicated than Stancho's, as he is faced with the task of creating a new world for the
World Cup
The challenge of playing in the tournament rather than the UEFA competition. Recently, he was contacted by the Korean Football Association (KFA) about his availability for the World A tournament in early June, while discussions about the East Asian Cup are also ongoing. The tournament, which was originally scheduled to be held in our country, was undoubtedly a godsend for Son Jungho, however, now that the tournament has been moved to Japan, he will face the prospect of being separated from his team for nearly a month if he decides to compete. According to sources, this is the choice that the Korean team has given Sun Jungho. If he does not participate in either of the two training sessions in June and July, then Qatar
World Cup
The distance to this core of Taishan's midfield will grow, and if we wait until 2026, I fear that Sun Junho will not be as competitive as he is now, given his age.
Meanwhile, Meizhou Hakka foreigner Kosovic is a regular in the Montenegrin national team. The Montenegrin Football Association is interested in recruiting him to the team, as the 27-year-old, who is in his 27th year, is a member of the team's current
World Cup
Absolute starter in the qualifiers. Similarly to Romania, Montenegro will be tasked with four UEFA Europa League matches next month, but Kosovic hasn't been involved in an official match for some time, with his last appearance dating back to December 9 last year for Kazakhstan's Hellas Hirati against Greece's Omonia in the UEFA Cup.
In contrast, two African internationals, Bassogo and Toure, have already put an end to the suspense ahead of schedule, joining Shenhua and Henan in training respectively. Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that their Cameroonian and Sierra Leonean teams are not organizing a World A tournament in June. However, considering that they both participated in the African Cup of Nations in January this year, Cameroon in particular still has the
World Cup
mission, and I fear that it will be difficult to avoid this tangle in the future.
In terms of foreign aid, apart from Bassogo and Son Junho who are still working for the
World Cup
Tickets to work for, Harbour midfielder Muy and Shenzhen bruiser Wakaso also represent this group. However, the situation is different for the two, as neither of them has returned to China yet. One of the teams, Australia, to which Muy belongs, will be playing for the
World Cup
Tickets are in a fight to the death, and will play UAE and Peru (if they make it through to the first round) in the play-offs. Mooi has also been in and out of favor throughout the 12-round tournament. For example, he was not selected for any of the four rounds in November last year and March this year. Now, Muay is also waiting for Arnold's call: will he be called back into the fold again in the decisive moments? After all, as a 31-year old veteran, he is obviously more reliable with his big game experience and resistance to pressure.
The case of Vaccaro is even more special, originally he has already talked with Shenzhen team to return to China. But before boarding the plane, he tested positive for the new crown and called it quits. It is due to this sudden situation that Wakaso's participation in Ghana's June training is doubtful, but he is still very much looking forward to his second consecutive appearance in the tournament.
World Cup
. Meanwhile, the Shenzhen team is also working hard to get Vaccaro back to the team as soon as possible.
As for Uzbekistan defender Tursnov, who still has a contract with Chongqing, he has been ruled out due to injury after participating in the national team training twice last September and October. Although the Uzbekistan team has three more Asian Cup qualifying matches in mid-June, from now on, he is afraid that it is difficult for him to be favored by head coach Katanic again after a long absence from official matches.
