According to the Beijing Youth Daily, the Chinese Football Association has recently completed a new round of leadership division adjustments. Vice President Xu Jianren, who previously oversaw referees, social football, news publicity, and other areas, has been confirmed to oversee the national team.
On August 21, the Chinese Football Association, for the first time, released the new squad list via live stream.
The Beijing Youth Daily expressed that this release event received widespread approval and support. Given the long-term low competitive level of Chinese football, especially the men’s national team, it is necessary for the team to strive to improve their performance while actively enhancing their public image.
From this perspective, having Xu Jianren, a seasoned and excellent media professional, oversee the national team will undoubtedly be beneficial in strengthening sincere communication and exchanges between the national team and fans, media, and other external parties, creating a healthier public opinion environment for the team.
