Considering that the Chinese national soccer team still has good players like Li Shuai and Liu Yang at the left back position, there is a high possibility that Yang Zexiang will be omitted from the 23-man list for the match against Thailand. At the back of the national team, Huang Zhengyu has been affected by injuries and it is also unknown whether he can return to his best form. Huang Zhengyu doesn't have the experience of playing in big matches in the national team and is at a disadvantage in the competition with Wang Shangyuan and Gao Tianyi.
Xu Haoyang got his first chance to be selected for the national team after his outstanding performance for Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League this season. Competition in the national team's frontcourt is fierce, so Xu Haoyang can only play as a substitute. In the center forward position of the national team, only one of them could be chosen between Xie Weijun and Baiheilamu, both failed to be selected in the 23-player list for the China-Thailand game. If Zhang Yuning does not fully recover from his injury, he will not be selected and Xie Weijun and Baihelamu will be selected together.
