With naturalized player Jiang Guangtai missing the World Qualifier due to injury, the national team's defense is under increased pressure. The original deployment has been disrupted by the young and inexperienced defenders in the adult squad. The original plan was to pair Jiang Guangtai with a younger player, but now the situation has changed and Zhang Linpeng may return to the center back position. This will result in fewer players at the wing-back position, so adding an experienced veteran is the solution to the problem. How to arrange and rotate the backline has become a difficult problem for Jankovic, and if the backline problem cannot be solved, the prospect of the World Qualifiers will be worrying.
With the national team players officially heading to Shenzhen for training, fans have noticed that naturalized player Jiang Guangtai is not on the reported list. Rumor has it that Jiang Guangtai will not be able to play in the two World Cup matches in November due to injury, and the national team has urgently called up Xu Haofeng to join the team. As the core of the national team's backline, Jiang Guangtai's absence will undoubtedly have an impact on the team's defense. However, what is more worrying is that the entire team's deployment is completely disrupted. With Jiang Guangtai's departure, the current selection of the national team's defenders is limited to four young players, Zhu Chenjie, Wu Shaocong, Xu Haofeng and Jiang Shenglong. These players are all very young, with the oldest, Xu Haofeng, born only in 1999.
Except for Zhu Chenjie who has some experience in World Cup qualifiers, all the other players lack experience in big matches. Originally, Jankovic's plan was to partner Jiang Guangtai with a young player as a center back, but now the problem is that Jiang Guangtai can't play. Definitely the center back position cannot be given to a young player all the time, which means Zhang Linpeng may return to the center back position. However, if Zhang Linpeng goes back to center back, the choice of wing backs becomes more difficult. Jankovic has only brought Li Lei, Zhang Linpeng and Liu Yang as his three wingbacks, and once Zhang Linpeng's position is changed, then only Liu Yang and Li Lei will be left with the choice of wingbacks. Is Yankovic going to let players like Chen Pu and Liu Binbin barely play as wingbacks? To be honest, after learning of Jiang Guangtai's injury, Jankovic should have recruited an experienced veteran. I'm afraid that bringing in Xu Haofeng now will really affect the entire tactical deployment. How to arrange and rotate the backline next has also become Yankovic's biggest headache. Once the back line has problems, the next two matches will be even more suspenseful. For the national football team, Jiang Guangtai's injury is a serious blow. As the absolute core of the backline of the national football team, his departure will bring no small difficulties to the team.
It will be difficult for other players to fill his position, which will undoubtedly increase the pressure on the entire team's defense. Moreover, the lack of competition experience of young players is a challenge for the national team. Although Zhu Chenjie has some experience in the World Qualifiers, all the other players are playing in such an important tournament for the first time. This will put a higher demand on their psychological quality and game ability. After Jiang Guangtai's injury, the national soccer team's backline is facing a major adjustment. Originally, Jankovic planned to partner Jiang Guangtai with a young player in the center back position. However, the situation changed and Jiang Guangtai was unable to play, which completely disrupted the team's backline setup. If Zhang Linpeng returns to the center back position, the side back options will become even more limited. Currently only Liu Yang and Li Lei are relatively weak, which may have a considerable impact on the overall defense of the national football team. For Jankovic, how to arrange and rotate the backline will become his toughest problem. Once the backline has problems, the impact on the whole team will be disastrous. The national soccer team is coming up with two World Qualification matches, which are crucial for the team. In such crucial matches, the performance of the backline will directly affect the team's results.
Therefore, Jankovic needs to carefully consider his options for each position to ensure stability and reliability in the backline. In the case of Jiang Guangtai's injury, the national team can consider adding an experienced veteran. Experienced players can play an important role in key moments and help young players better adapt to the rhythm of the game. In addition, the national team can also enhance the ability and confidence of young players by strengthening training. Only after full preparation and adjustment can they maintain a stable performance in the next matches. In conclusion, Jiang Guangtai's injury is undoubtedly a major challenge to the national team's backline. The team needs to make adjustments and find a suitable replacement in a short period of time. Jankovic must carefully consider the options for each position to ensure the stability of the backline. At the same time, the team needs to improve the ability and confidence of the young players through training and matches. Only in this way will the national team be able to achieve good results in the upcoming matches. How do you think the national team should deal with the problems in the backline?
