The team has temporarily embarked on a journey back to China to start closed training in Suzhou. In the first four rounds of the tournament, especially the much-anticipated "China-Saudi Arabia Battle", the focus of the outside world is the focus:

Are coaches willing to start naturalized players? And how should they use them skillfully?
Since 2018.
China Football Association (CFA)
The launch of the "naturalization" policy is, on the one hand, due to the reality of the lack of strength of the domestic players, in order to impact the 2022
World Cup
and had to adopt a risky strategy; on the other hand, it was also to comply with FIFA's policy adjustments in this regard. Although
China Football Association (CFA)
Chairman Chen Xuyuan has said that the future will not be "naturalization" as a long-term core policy, but he did not say anything about the coach Li Tie in the
national soccer team
The use of naturalized players in the set limits. If not for Li Ke and Fernando's persistent injuries this season, coach Li Tie might have taken six naturalized players with him on this trip to the 12-team tournament.
In the second half of the recent Sino-Japanese and Sino-Saudi matches, Coach Li Tie had sent in four naturalized players, and the situation on the field was obviously improved. This triggered questions about why Coach Li Tie did not start the trio of Aixon, Alan and Luo Guofu in the starting lineup.
Looking at the last two seasons of
China Super League (soccer league)
In the league, Ackerson, Allan, and Lowe have been poor overall, older, and missed their peaks of form. While

It is widely believed internally that these three naturalized players are not fit enough to sustain a full 90-minute match. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Coach Li Tie not to let them start. However, the following three points are worth exploring:
First and foremost, over the past year or so, Coach Littleton has been

The main 442 formation has been playing, the striker combination of Wu Lei + Ickerson, but these two in the 40 strong so far really "call" not many times. Coach Li Tie will consider replacing the striker combination, whether Alan has the opportunity to enter the scope of consideration?
Secondly, against a strong team, the
national soccer team
Is it possible to change the purely defensive tactics and allow Wu Lei alone to blitz? Is it possible to start one or two naturalized players in the midfield and take advantage of their physicality to control the opponent?
Third, has Coach Li Tie never considered building tactics around naturalized players? If so, can he make adjustments to this in the upcoming games? Even if it means having three naturalized players on the field at the same time for a longer period of time.
In fact, for Li Tie coach, "naturalization how to use" is not the key to the problem. Currently
national soccer team
The most glaring problem is the fragility of the defensive system.
By the numbers, after 10 games of the last tournament, the
national soccer team
Only 10 goals conceded, but after 4 games of this tournament, the
national soccer team
Has conceded 8 goals, and conceded goals in a variety of ways, which shows that coach Li Tie now can not rely only on the "three center backs" "three backs" and other reliance on the number of people piled up to fill the

of vulnerability.
Instead of arguing about how to use naturalized players, Coach Li Tie should think more about the following questions: Is it possible to reduce the use of the "Wu Xi + Zhang Xizhe" midfield pair? Can the center back pairing of "Zhang Linpeng + Jiang Guangtai" remain unchanged? Can we consider using Gao Zhunyi more?
