China's national soccer team will soon leave for New Zealand to take part in two warm-up matches for the New Zealand national team, which means that the "first phase" of the Jankovic-era national soccer team is about to be completed. From the recent warm-up matches of the national soccer team, the technical and tactical ideas of the Yankovic era have already been revealed. It is certain that the two wings of the future national soccer team is still the most important offense, Wu Lei will still be given the heavy responsibility.
In the goalkeeper position, if there is no accident, Shanghai Harbor's Yan Junling will still be the main goalkeeper. Although last season's performance in Hong Kong was not ideal, Yan Junling's stability is still much better than Liu Dengzheng and Wang Dalei, and "stability" is Jankovic's biggest requirement for the goalkeeper position. In the back line, it is worth noting the inclusion of Li Shuai, Liu Yang, Wang Shangyuan, Sun Guowen and Deng Hanwen, all of whom are strong attacking wing backs.
At center back, with the exit of Jiang Guangtai, Ren Hang and Liu Yiming, the current national soccer team is a bit short on men at the position. Even with Zhu Chenjie back, the position is still not thick enough. In this case, Jankovic should have a hard time arranging a three center back tactic. In the match against New Zealand, the national soccer team should meet the enemy with four defenders.
In the middle of the midfield, the national soccer team is still undermanned. Currently, He Chao, Wang Shangyuan, Xu Xin, Zhang Jiaqi and Wu Xi are all in this position. Considering the strengths of these players, neither two out of five nor three out of five are reliable, which dooms Jankovic to not make much change in this position. On the wings, however, there are quite a few candidates available for the national soccer team. Lin Liangming, Xie Pengfei, Liu Binbin, and even Wu Lei, who has shown bravery in recent warm-ups, are all very good at making kills on the wings.
Therefore, the current arrangement of the formation of the national football team is very obvious, will switch between 433 or 451. If it is playing 433, then the most likely arrangement is Xu Xin, He Chao and Wu Xi to guard the center, the two wings to Xie Pengfei and Lin Liangming, due to Xie Pengfei and Lin Liangming are very strong scoring ability, so Wu Lei in the front line of the pressure can be reduced to a certain extent. If it is 451, then it should be Wu Xi and Xu Xin playing double back, Xie Pengfei and Lin Liangming separate, Wu Lei's position retreat, front arrangement Tan Long or other candidates.
The biggest X-factor at the moment is Wei Shihao, who has a highly overlapping role with Wu Lei, so he should still be the back-up to Jankovic's bench. After all, Wei Shihao and Wu Lei haven't had much time on the pitch together in the previous few international matches. However, with Wei Shihao's ability to occupy an important attacking position in either the 433 or 451 of the national soccer team, he is 5 years younger than Wu Lei. I'm sure Jankovic won't make him wait too long.
