Tomorrow night, the Chinese men's soccer team will play an international friendly against Vietnam in a match that is considered to be a revenge game for the national soccer team after losing to their rivals on the road in last year's preliminaries.
In the two warm-up matches last month, the overall performance of the national soccer team was very poor, with a 1-1 draw against Malaysia and a 0-1 draw against Syria. This not only caused a lot of dissatisfaction among fans, but also made coach Jankovic determined to rebuild the national football team. Therefore, in the match against Vietnam, Jankovic will definitely send a brand new starting lineup of the national football team.
In the goalkeeping position, Yan Junling has been in very average form in the last two years. As long as the opponent's shot can hit the inside of the goal frame, it will basically become a goal. As a result, Yan Junling is also known as the "dead shot" by fans.
In last year's preliminaries away match against Vietnam, Yan Junling conceded three consecutive goals in the match, which undoubtedly left a huge psychological shadow on him. Therefore, Yankovic, who is playing against Vietnam again for the national soccer team, will surely abandon Yan Junling and instead make Wang Dalei, who has been in quite a good form this season, the starting goalkeeper of the national soccer team.
In terms of defenders, Li Lei's decline is very serious as he grows older. In this national soccer training, Yankovic recruited Liu Yang from the national soccer team of Asian Games, with the aim of correcting Liu Yang to play as the national soccer team's starting left back. I believe the right back will be between He Yupeng and Ye Lijiang.
Two center backs, Zhang Linmiao and Zhu Chenjie are currently injured so they are out of action. Naturalized player Jiang Guangtai and Shenhua's young player Jiang Shenglong will work with the main center backs of the national soccer team. This is a brand new pair of center backs for the national soccer team, and they need to have enough understanding and consistency in the game.
In the midfield, Li Ke and Wu Xi will continue to start as the double back, and Dai Weijun will appear in the front position. Dai Weijun, as the core of the team's midfield organization and attack, will largely determine how strong the national football team's attacking ability is.
In the striker position, Tan Long will replace Eckerson as the starting center back of the national soccer team, Wu Lei and Xie Pengfei will be the starting wingers on the left and right sides. Tan Long performed very well at the Asian Games. Against Vietnam, a relatively short team, Tan Long's height and heading ability will be a big advantage. He can not only score on his own, but also create chances for Wu Lei and Xie Pengfei by making the ball.
On the bench, attacking players like Wei Shihao and Fang Hao are on standby. Once the national football team is unable to open up the offense, Jankovic will send them on the field and use their speed and breakthrough ability to impact the Vietnamese backline.
In the National Football Team vs Vietnam match, the game will be broadcast live on the CCTV sports channel CCTV5, so fans can watch the game in front of their TV sets. This is a highly anticipated match. Soldiers of the national soccer team must give their best to get a huge victory at home and feel ashamed of their loss on the road in the last World Qualifier.
