李可有望成为中国国足第一个入籍球员

Beijing Guoan's midfielder Li Ke will become the first naturalized player ever to enter the Chinese men's national team as the Chinese Football Association released the new 24-man squad called up by newly returned head coach Marcelo Lippi here on Thursday.

周四，中国足球协会公布了新任主教练马塞洛·里皮召集的24人新阵容，北京国安队的中场球员李可将成为中国男子国家队历史上首位入籍球员。

The former Arsenal and Brentford player Li, whose English name is Nicholas Yennaris, joined Beijing Guoan in January this year and has taken Chinese citizenship.

李可的英文名字是Nicholas Yennaris，是前阿森纳和布伦特福德球员，他于今年1月加入北京国安，并获得了中国国籍。

The legendary Italian coach Lippi, who has been re-appointed head coach of the Chinese men's national team last Friday, has selected Li and his five Guoan teammates in his new 24-man squad, which gives the 26-year-old London-born the historic opportunity to be the first naturalized player to wear the Team Dragon jersey.

上周五被重新任命为中国男足国家队主教练的传奇意大利教练里皮，将李可和他的5个国安队友选进了自己的队伍，这给了这位出生在伦敦的26岁小伙一个历史性机会，使他成为第一个穿龙队球衣的归化球员。

In addition, Chinese Super league powerhouses Guangzhou Evergrande have seven players in the list including 38-year-old captain Zheng Zhi.

此外，中超球队广州恒大有7名球员入选，其中包括38岁的队长郑智。

Lippi and his players will assemble on June 3 in Guangzhou to prepare for the friendly matches with the Phillipines and Kyrgyzstan and the upcoming 2022 World Cup qualifiers in September.

里皮和他的球员将于6月3日在广州集合，为与菲律宾、吉尔吉斯斯坦的友谊赛以及即将到来的2022年世界杯预选赛做准备。
