Qu Bo - International Career

International Career

Qu's lightning pace first caught the eye at the 2000 Asian Under-19 Championships where he grabbed four goals for his country. After playing in the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship he would quickly catch the attention of Bora Milutinovic who included him into the 2002 FIFA World Cup squad where he preferred to place Qu at the wing where he can get the best out of the young prospect's pace. Since his initial rise to the national team Qu has had difficulty in retaining his position as a consistent member of the team. He was not selected for the 2004 AFC Asian Cup squad and was forced out with injury in the 2007 AFC Asian Cup squad. He was however brought back into the national team for several world cup qualifying games.
