The Soccer Scene
On the left side of the Taishan team's battlefield, Wu Xinghan has been performing in a different way with his unique positioning as a left winger. Although this position is not rare in the team, Liu Binbin and Liu Yang can also play, but Wu Xinghan recent performance is particularly dazzling. In the match against Hebei, he missed a good opportunity, but the feat of opening the second time, as well as the side of the cut and breakthrough are praised.
In the league this season, Wu Xinghan played 14 games, including 9 starts, firmly in the starting position. His absence, although Taishan team is not unavailable, but the head coach Hao Wei in the formation had to use more brains. The original rotation plan, perhaps also have to adjust accordingly.
Meanwhile, Guoan's Wang Gang is out due to injury, putting the team in a difficult situation. The team's main defender is not only good at defense, but also the right hand of the offense. Yu Dabao was injured in the 15th round of the league, and Wang Gang's absence puts more pressure on Guoan's defense.
After Wang Gang retired from injury, Guoan manager Bilic had no choice but to activate Cao Yongjing in an unfamiliar position. The future layout of Guoan may require Bilic to be creative. However, Guoan is in the phase of new and old transition, perhaps can use this opportunity to develop young players.
There is also an urgent need to address the selection issues of the national football team. Injuries to two international players have added to the shadow of the World Qualifiers. Wang Gang had a steady performance in the 12-team tournament, and despite mistakes, Li Tie always trusted him. Wu Xinghan has been a key piece on the sidelines despite playing only three times due to injury.
Wu Xinghan's injury, undoubtedly to the national football coach Li Xiaopeng added worries. Li Xiaopeng in coaching Taishan team period, Wu Xinghan is its important players. Wu Xinghan's recent form is excellent, Li Xiaopeng is obviously better and more inclined to use him. With Wu Xinghan's injury, the national football team's selection vision may need to be broadened.
The national football team will challenge Japan and Vietnam on the road on January 27 and February 1 next year respectively. Li Xiaopeng in Li Tie stepped down after the critical appointment, would have to be busy in the completion of the handover, the formation of the coaching staff. Now, a familiar player can not be used for its, undoubtedly increased the burden of Li Xiaopeng.
The good thing is, there are not many players who can replace Wu Xinghan and Wang Gang within the Chinese Super League. However, in just 6 rounds of the league, how to select the most suitable players for the national team will become an important issue for Li Xiaopeng's team in the near future. At the same time, the relevant parties also need to work hard to prevent injuries to players, including international players.
