January 5 - The official website of the Asian Football Confederation yesterday updated the registration list for the Asian Cup team yesterday and all 26 Chinese players who are preparing for Abu Dhabi were selected. The Daily News predicted the main lineup of the national soccer team, in which Wu Lei's position thundered unchanged, with Zhang Yuning and Tan Long competing for the center forward.
The national soccer team's jersey numbers for the Asian Cup basically continue the ownership of numbers from last year's Asian 36 World Qualifiers. For example, Zhang Linpeng 5, Wu Lei 7, 10 to Xie Pengfei, Tan Long 11. Wang Qiuming missed the first two 36 games due to injury. Dai Weijun took over his #13 jersey. Back in the national team, Wang Qiuming got the biggest number in the team.
From the order of the jersey numbers, we can also guess the basic face of China's lineup: goalkeepers Yan Junling, Wang Dalei, and Liu Tingzai are substitutes, and it's hard for Jian Tao to shake the three veterans for the time being; the backline of Zhang Linpeng, Jiang Guangtai, Zhu Chenjie, and Liu Yang are more likely to start. Wu Shaocong and Jiang Shenglong are versatile players. Not only can they partner up to play center back, but they can also play as left and right backs. Left back Li Lei is always waiting to be dispatched.
Back Wang Shangyuan, Xu Xin, Wu Xi, Wang Qiuming, Gao Tianyi "five choose two"; forward Wei Shihao, Liu Binbin, Lin Liangming, Chen Pu, Xie Pengfei, Dai Weijun; striker Wu Lei is unchanged starting, Zhang Yuning and Tan Long compete for the other spot. The basic formation is 442, switchable to 541.
