At Taishan, Wu Xinghan plays as a left-sided forward, a position where there is no shortage of talent, with Liu Binbin and Liu Yang equally capable. However, Wu Xinghan's recent performance has been particularly good, even if he missed a few good chances against Hebei, but his second goal and breakthroughs on the side have won him praise.
This season, Wu Xinghan played 14 games for the team, including 9 starts, firmly in the starting lineup. Although Taishan lost the side general, but the team did not fall into the unavailability of the situation, the head coach Hao Wei still need to make more efforts in tactical adjustments. Previously developed rotation strategy, perhaps also need to be adjusted accordingly.
The absence of Wang Gang, Guoan's main defender, has added to the team's already precarious situation. Wang Gang can both defend and attack on the wing, and is good at breaking through. In the 15th round of the league, Yu Dabao was injured and missed the match against Taishan. Wang Gang's absence has further strained Guoan's defense.
After Wang Gang's injury, Guoan manager Bilic had to play Cao Yongjing in his unfamiliar defense position because he had no one to play with. Bilic's creativity may be needed for the next tactical setup of Guoan. Fortunately, Guoan, which is in the process of replacing the old with the new, may be able to take this opportunity to exercise and investigate the young players.
National Football League selections may need to be reconsidered
Injuries to two international players have cast a shadow over the upcoming World Qualifiers. Wang Gang, who made four appearances and accumulated 241 minutes in the Top 12, was a key player in the national soccer team's backline. Despite his occasional mistakes, Li Tie always trusted him. Wu Xinghan played the role of a wunderkind on the sidelines, although he only made 3 appearances in the Top 12 due to injury, accumulating 93 minutes.
Wu Xinghan's injury, undoubtedly to the national football coach Li Xiaopeng added worries. During the coaching of Taishan team, Wu Xinghan was an important piece of Li Xiaopeng. Li Xiaopeng is obviously better than Li Tie and more willing to use him. With the injury of Wu Xinghan, the national football team may need to expand the scope of selection.
According to the schedule, the national football team will challenge Japan and Vietnam on the road on January 27 and February 1 next year respectively. Li Xiaopeng, who was appointed to the post after Li Tie stepped down, was already under pressure to hand over and form a coaching team. Now, a familiar player can not be used, undoubtedly increased his burden.
Fortunately, there are not many players who can replace Wu Xinghan and Wang Gang within the Chinese Super League. However, in the short period of time with only 6 rounds of league matches left, how to select the most suitable players for the national team will become an important issue for Li Xiaopeng's team. At the same time, the relevant parties also need to work hard to reduce the number of injuries to players, including international players.
