There could be multiple reasons why Wu Xi is not on the new national soccer team's roster. As a former captain of the national soccer team, Wu Xi has performed well in previous matches, but the selection of players in soccer is affected by a variety of factors. On the one hand, the coaching team may make the list based on the team's overall tactical needs, the players' competitive status, injuries and other factors. On the other hand, the national football team may also provide opportunities for more young players in the renewal process to maintain the team's vitality and competitiveness.
In the first list of the new national football coach Ivankovic after taking office, veterans such as Wu Xi and Tan Long and other 8 people failed to be selected, while planning players such as Ackerson and Fernando and other 13 people rejoined or first time to be selected in the list of the national football team. This shows the determination and strength of the national football team in personnel adjustment. Meanwhile, the five captains of the national football team during the Asian Cup, in addition to Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng, Wu Lei, Jiang Guangtai and Yan Junling were selected for the new list.
