A record 67,000 people witnessed the scene! The battle between China and Australia: the craziest home field, the most difficult challenge

Reporter Chen Yong reports With Japan beating Bahrain, Australia beating Indonesia and Saudi Arabia beating the national team, Group C of the round of 18 seems to be diverging. In this round, Indonesia and Bahrain face each other directly, and the national football team's home match with Australia is very crucial, in the case of the slim hope of fighting for the top two in the group, even if it is for the top four in the group, this game must go all out to get points.

This game will be the craziest home stadium in the history of the national football team, and 67,000 people will witness the Sino-Australian battle on the spot. It is expected that the game will be extremely difficult, the difference in strength between the two sides is obvious, and the national football team must show more fighting spirit and courage.

On the evening of March 22, the national football team conducted its first training after returning to China in Hangzhou, and the training was not open to the public, and on the 23rd, the national football team opened its training.

On the 23rd, a total of 25 players from the national football team participated. The number of international players who returned from Saudi Arabia was 27, plus Huang Zhengyu and Wu Shaocong, who were supplemented and recruited, the number reached 29, but Wang Shangyuan and Lin Liangming have returned to their respective clubs due to the suspension of the Sino-Australian war, and Jiang Guangtai, who also returned to the club, was strained, and among the remaining 26 people, Gao Zhunyi did not participate in joint training due to injury.

Interestingly, coach Ivan directly issued a vest, and the players wearing black vests were Li Lei, Jiang Shenglong, Han Pengfei, Yang Zexiang, Huang Zhengyu, Wei Shihao, Xie Wenneng, Xu Haoyang, Cao Yongjing and Zhang Yuning, counting goalkeeper Wang Dalei, it happens to be an 11-person lineup, if a midfield attacker such as Wei Shihao is on the front line, it is 442, and if Xu Haoyang partners Huang Zhengyu to play double back, it is a 4231 lineup.

Of course, there is a possibility that Ivan will directly reveal his cards, after all, there is not much room for adjustment. In fact, if it is adjusted, there are actually only two candidates to choose from, one is whether Baihelam will start; The second is that if Ivan decides to use a double back, Li Yuanyi may have the possibility of playing.

It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of the training, Ivan noticed a female journalist in a Croatian jersey in the press team, and he happily went over to shake hands with her and greet her.

In the battle between China and Saudi Arabia, the national football team only lost 0-1 in the case of 10 to 11, so there is no big problem with the mentality of the national players. However, the gap on the pitch may have an impact on the psychology of the players. In addition, at the level of form, with the foreshadowing of the last game, the competitive state of the international players is expected to be improved, and the hidden danger is that there are more players replaced in the midfield and backfield, and they should pay attention to defense.

Although the first national football team lost the game against Saudi Arabia in March, the enthusiasm of Chinese fans is still undiminished, and the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium, which has 80,800 fixed seats, has sold more than 67,000 tickets, which means that the Sino-Australian match will set a new record for the number of attendance in Chinese football matches.

The Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center on the 25th will become the craziest home stadium in the history of the national football team. In addition to the fans, the enthusiasm of the media is also very high, and it is expected that no less than 300 reporters will be present to cover the scene.

Everyone is looking forward to the game, but objectively speaking, the game is very difficult: against the Indonesian team, Australia was full of firepower, won a big victory, their points reached 10 points, at present, the second place in the group is likely to be produced between Australia and Saudi Arabia, so, in order to qualify directly, Australia will definitely go all out and will not have any reservations.

The national football team played tenaciously in the battle between China and Saudi Arabia, but there was a significant gap between the overall strength and the Saudi team, except for the good performance in the first 20 minutes, the rest of the time was basically passively beaten, of course, 10 to 11 in the case of forced defense.

For the national football team, it is far from enough to have fighting spirit in this battle between China and Australia, and if you want to score points, you need more confidence, dare to attack, and have the belief to move forward bravely. In addition, the national football team also needs to avoid problems in personnel arrangement, skills and tactics, including key set-piece attack and defense, which is precisely the most problematic place for the national football team before.

The fans will be the biggest help for the national football team, the craziest home stadium, will form the greatest blessing for the national football team, everyone expects that before the match against Indonesia and Bahrain in June, the national football team can create a miracle and score points against Australia at home.
