China national soccer team
They will face Saudi Arabia and Oman in that order. Lee Lei, who plays for Grasshopper in the Swiss Super League, said goodbye to these two key matches due to an injury, a situation that attracted a lot of attention from the Korean media.
Article in-depth analysis: China's men's football team has been a barrage of bad news recently, starting with its first defeat against Vietnam, followed by the departure of naturalized players, and now there is only one international footballer left who is staying in Europe.
During team training on March 16, Li Lei unfortunately tore his right adductor muscle and is expected to miss four weeks, unable to participate in the final two matches of the 12-team tournament.
As the only player among the 25 international players of our men's soccer team who plays in the European league, Li Lei is also the left road attacker of our team. In the warm-up match with Changchun Yatai on the 12th, our team adopted the 343 formation, focusing on the side attack, which is exactly Li Lei's strong point. However, with his injury, our team's side attack strategy seems to face challenges.
The 24-year-old Tong Lei is expected to take over Li Lei's position, but compared to Li Lei, he is slightly inferior in defense and passing. However, in the match with Yatai, Tong Lei performed well and helped our team win 5-0.
