On October 16, Beijing time, China lost 2-1 to Uzbekistan in a friendly match. According to Sports Weekly, Mao Jianqing took to social media platforms to say that Wu Lei is not compatible in the national soccer team. In addition, he said that without quality matches, the Chinese Super League will only set players back.
Summarizing yesterday's loss of the national soccer team to Uzbekistan
Mao Jianqing: "Uzbekistan is much better than us. 1-2 loss is normal, even less. 1-0 lead is because of luck. Wei Shihao played well and defended well before 1-0."
Yesterday China had low ball possession and was very conservative on the field
Mao Jianqing: "China can't play the kind of soccer we want to see right now. If they don't pass more than 3 balls, they make mistakes. The midfield has stoppage time errors without pressure, so they can only do business with a hammer. Playing football in a simple and brutal way, whether you can get one success out of 100 attempts can only be a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. There was no substance to the game."
Talking about the change between 1:0 and being overtaken by the national soccer team
Mao Jianqing: "In the second half, the game tempo came up, the team's physical fitness dropped, and the field was passive. It is acceptable to harbor 1:0, but 1:1 will be contradictory. If we want to attack, but we can't attack. We're just formalistic in our pressure. As soon as we get equalized, we lose. The rhythm is not right, the technical and tactical talk is not good."
