2023 Asian Cup China Team Starting Lineup
The starting lineup for the 2023 Asian Cup for the Chinese national team was: Yan Junling, Zhang Linpeng, Zhu Chenjie, Jiang Shenglong, Liu Yang, Gao Tianyi, Wei Shihao, Xie Pengfei, Dai Weijun, Wu Lei, and Zhang Yunning.
As the opening game of the year for China, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) placed great importance on the preparations for the Asian Cup, hoping that the national team would present a new image to the Chinese people. After comprehensive evaluation, the national team's best starting lineup for the Asian Cup has emerged: Yan Junling will be in goal, the backline will be composed of Zhang Linpeng, Zhu Chenjie, Jiang Shenglong, and Liu Yang. Gao Tianyi will be the holding midfielder.
Wei Shihao and Xie Pengfei will play on the left and right wings respectively; Dai Weijun will be the attacking midfielder; and Wu Lei and Zhang Yunning will lead the attack. It can be said that this is the strongest lineup that the national team can currently field. Head coach Jankovic still has a long way to go in rebuilding the national team, and youthfulness is an inevitable trend. The newly appointed chairman of the CFA has expressed full support for Jankovic's bold policy of using young players.
Team Evaluation:
The unveiling of the national team's starting lineup for the Asian Cup has boosted the morale of fans, but it has also triggered reflection on the development and future of the national team. Through the construction of a youth training system and a transformation towards youthfulness, the national team is expected to gradually improve its strength and achieve better results on the Asian football stage.
We hope that the national team will fight for national honor with a new image, strong strength, and a united spirit, and contribute to the development of Chinese football. We believe that under the leadership of Song Kai and his team, the future of the national team will be even brighter.
At the same time, by making appropriate adjustments to the existing main lineup and injecting fresh blood, the team's overall strength and competitiveness can be enhanced. In the Asian Cup, the national team will face an important opportunity for tempering. We hope that the team can prove its strength with concrete actions and prepare well for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

China National Team Announces 26-Man Roster
In preparation for the final stages of the Qatar Asian Cup, the CFA announced a 26-man training squad on November 12, 2023. Wu Lei, Wei Shihao, and Jiang Guangtai are included, Chengdu Rongcheng goalkeeper Jian Tao has been called up for the first time, and naturalized player Elkeson is not included in the list. The specific roster is as follows:
Wuhan Three Towns: Liu Dianzuo, Wei Shihao, Xie Pengfei
Shandong Taishan: Wang Dalei, Liu Yang, Chen Pu
Shanghai SIPG: Wu Lei, Zhang Linpeng, Yan Junling, Jiang Guangtai
Chengdu Rongcheng: Elkeson

This roster is actually not much different from the November 2023 World Cup qualifier roster. It seems that the head coach Jankovic is quite "conservative" and not easily making changes. Even though many players are qualified to be included, he still chose a lineup he is more familiar with.

The only overseas club player on the roster, Wu Shaocong, will directly join the team in the UAE.
