From 2024 to May, it is getting closer and closer to the fifth round of world qualifiers in June. The Chinese Super League is currently in full swing, with Shenhua undefeated and leading the way.After May, the focus of attention for media and fans across the country will be the Chinese men's soccer team's World Qualifier home match against Thailand. Currently, the league is full of sad and joyful news. For the Chinese men's soccer team, facing Thailand is really delicate!
Good news, bad news! It's all about naturalized players. First, Fernando was injured. In the Round 9 match between Shandong Taishan and Nantong Zhiyun, Fernando accidentally strained himself in the 63rd minute of the match when he made a quick break upfield and shook the keeper. Fernando did not go to Qingdao West Coast in this match and Shandong Taishan ended up with a 0-0 draw.
Fernando's injury has now been discovered and Shandong Taishan has issued an injury announcement. Fernando is being treated and recovering from a long head injury to his right lateral femoral muscle and biceps femoris. It was not specified how long the recovery would take. Fernando has had a good season, playing 6 games for Taishan and contributing 1 goal and 3 assists. If Fernando doesn't make it to the Thailand game, it would be a big loss for the national soccer team!
Fernando is injured. Bad news for the national soccer team, but on the other hand, the national soccer team also reaped good news that naturalized player Alan is doing well. He might be on the latest training list of the national team! According to Beijing Youth Daily, when Wu Lei confirmed that he missed the June 6 "battle of life and death" between China and Thailand, the return of naturalized striker Alan is almost certain, and he will team up with Zhang Yuning in Thailand.
In addition, the core of Guoan's ace may also appear in the national football team's match against Thailand, which is No. 10 Zhang Yuning! As the organization midfielder of Chinese soccer, Zhang Xizhe has been criticized. Once he meets a tough midfield opponent, Zhang Xizhe will be invisible, but we can't deny Zhang Xizhe's organization and creativity. We believe that if he really wants to return to the national soccer team, he will be able to help China beat Thailand!
June is very important for the Thai team. If you win, you will advance directly. If you lose, you will declare your death. If it's a draw, that's too bad. Since the national soccer team's last match is against South Korea and Thailand's against Singapore, and there is no doubt about the winner of the two matches, the national soccer team has to take down Thailand at home or be declared to have missed out on the Top 18.
