In addition, Shandong Taishan's goalkeeper Wang Dalei and midfielder Li Yuanyi were also outstanding players in this game. If not for Wang Dalei's decisive attack to defuse the opponent's several sure goals, Shandong Taishan might not have just been scored two goals by the opponent. In other words, it is possible that Wang Dalei will replace Yan Junling as the main goalkeeper of the national team.
The national soccer team's biggest problem at the moment is its weak offense, failing to score in its three group matches in the Asian Cup despite amassing two points, showing that what the national team lacks most is forward players. Especially players like Fernando, who has some impact power, is a killer to tear the opponent's defense.
The new coaching staff of the national soccer team, after watching this game, may reconsider the choices they made for Shandong Taishan's players. After all, to be able to deal with opponents in the AFC Champions League must be at a higher level compared to the intensity of the confrontation in the Chinese Super League. The matches against Asian teams are World Cup qualifiers, and Shandong Taishan may become international players.
