Reporter Chen Yong reports After defeating Kuwait 3-1 in the warm-up match, the national football team started the final sprint, and at present, the starting lineup of the national football team is likely to remain stable, but there may be three back-ups on the bench.
Regarding the lineup of the national football team against Saudi Arabia, it can be seen from the starting game against Kuwait. In that game, the goalkeeper was Wang Dalei, defenders Li Lei, Han Pengfei, Jiang Guangtai and Gao Zhunyi, midfielders Wang Shangyuan, Xie Wenneng, Wei Shihao and Cao Yongjing, and forwards Lin Liangming and Bai Helamu. First of all, in the central defender position, as Jiang Shenglong recovers, he will most likely return to the starting lineup, and the variable in the fullback position is whether Hu Hetao will start.
It is unlikely that the midfield will be adjusted, compared with the last round of the Sino-Japanese battle, only Wei Shihao replaced Xu Haoyang, of course, Xie Wenneng will normally return from the left midfield of the cameo to the right midfield. If Ivan makes adjustments, Xu Haoyang may be a variable in the starter, that is, the midfield configuration of the national football team to resume the Sino-Japanese battle. In the midfield position, Serginho is clearly not yet in the starting role, despite the general belief that he is the most suitable.
As for the forward line, the configuration of the Sino-Japanese battle is Lin Liangming and Wei Shihao, and the warm-up match against Kuwait is Lin Liangming and Baihelamu. A very important reason is that during the Sino-Japanese battle, Baihelamu was suspended, and Zhang Yuning's state was not suitable for starting. Now, with the return of Baihram back, his return to the central striker position is a matter of course, with his impact and running ability, combined with a fast and agile attacker, to make the attack more diverse.Of course, Lin Liangming and Wei Shihao can also play left midfield, which requires Ivan to make a trade-off.
In fact, the basic way of playing in the top 18 of the national football team is to defend against the counter, and in many games, the possession rate of the national football team did not exceed 30%, and in the second leg of the Sino-Japanese battle, the national football team gave it a go, and the possession rate once reached 39%.
Hu Hetao and Xu Haoyang are the starting variables, but they are not the back-ups.At present, the national football team has been reduced to 27 people, two U20 players Liu Chengyu and Wang Yudong stayed in the team, 3 U23 players and Han Jiaqi, Wu Shaocong, Huang Zhengyu and Hou Yongyong and other 7 people temporarily left, some of them have injury problems, as for the 3 U23 players, will go to Yancheng and the U22 national team to meet.
It should be said that Zhang Yuning is the most critical, the national football team defeated Indonesia 2-1, and Zhang Yuning scored the second goal; The national football team defeated Bahrain 1-0, and Zhang Yuning scored in stoppage time. Although Zhang Yuning and Baihelam are both center forwards, Zhang Yuning's center forward skills are obviously better, and Baihelam is more like a free man in the frontcourt. Against Saudi Arabia, if Zhang Yuning does not start, then he is Ivan's biggest back, and once he plays, he has the opportunity to change the situation of the national football team. In this position, the reserves of the national football team also include Wang Ziming and Liu Chengyu.
An unpredictable backhand is Serginho, who arrived in Dubai at noon on the 13th local time, although he participated in Guoan's winter training, but missed the first two rounds of the Chinese Super League, that is, he has not played for more than 4 months, so it is unknown whether Serginho can play a role.
As for Wang Yudong's backhand, there are two levels of significance, the first level is his own ability, including speed, breakthrough and relatively calm game style, which has the possibility of becoming a variable or a backhand; The second level is that the outside world has high expectations for him, and they all want to see how he can perform in the senior national team.
