January 17th night 19th Beijing time:The Chinese men's soccer team will have their second match in this year's Asian Cup against the West Asian team Lebanon.
In the first round of the tournament a few days ago, the Chinese men's soccer team had a very disappointing performance against an average Tajikistan, unable to get a win over them. A draw in the first round and only one point has left the national soccer team's prospects for this Asian Cup in limbo. If they can no longer win against Lebanon in this round, or even lose the match directly, the national soccer team will probably suffer the group stage.
Data shows that the Chinese men's soccer team has won two and drawn one of its last three encounters with Lebanon, giving it a clear psychological advantage. However, the national soccer team's most recent match against Lebanon dates back more than 10 years to 2009. Over the past 10 years, the Chinese men's soccer team has gotten worse, but Lebanon has made significant progress. Therefore, the record of the confrontation between the two teams more than 10 years ago has no reference value. Considering that Lebanon's overall strength is significantly stronger than Tajikistan's, it will be a real fight to the death for the national soccer team. Let's briefly predict the starting lineup that the national soccer team might release for this match.
In the goalkeeping position, national soccer team #1 keeper Yan Junling naturally plays a stabilizing role. In the backline, it is expected that Jankovic will continue to sacrifice his usual 3-back formation, with Jiang Guangtai, Zhang Linmiao and Zhu Chenjie getting starts for 3 of the defenders.
In the midfield, considering the captain Wu Xi's injury, it is expected that Wang Qiuming will still be the main back in charge of intercepting and stealing in the midfield of the national football team. Wang Qiuming and Wang Qiuming partner to form a double back should be the iron waist of Shanghai Hong Kong Xu Xin. In the midfield core position, it is expected that Xie Pengfei will be in front of the midfield to pick up the beam, pass the ball to feed the cake, curate the attack, dominate the attack line of the national football team in front of the midfield; in the midfield flanks, it is expected that Liu Yang and Lin Liangming will be a joint attack, the left and right, and Xie Pengfei to cooperate with the front line to deliver shells, to provide firepower support. Liu Binbin substitute standby.
In the forward line, there is no doubt that Guoan should dominate Zhang Yuning and lead the way for the national football team up front; Wu Lei should be the one to partner with Zhang Yuning to form the forward line. Veteran Tan Long should be on standby as a substitute in this match because of his poor performance. To summarize, the final expected starting lineup for the national football team against Lebanon is:Yan Junling; Jiang Guangtai, Zhang Linmiao, Zhu Chenjie; Wang Qiuming and Xu Xin; Liu Yang, Xie Pengfei and Lin Liangming; Zhang Yuning and Wu Lei
