On the use of naturalized players, the coach pointed out that it is important not to expect the local players to suddenly come up with amazing performances that will change the game, and that there is already a big gap between the level of our players and that of the past, which is one of the purposes of bringing in naturalized players. At present, the key is to try to let the naturalized players and local players in the field position to achieve coexistence. Bai emphasized that even with consecutive losses, given the current environment of our soccer

The coach will not be replaced as a result, but our team will have to fight for wins in the latter two games.
"After the grind of the first three games.

Having fully anticipated the difficulty of this match, he set up a 5-3-2 formation away to Saudi Arabia, who had won three consecutive matches, similar to the strategy he used against Japan, but with a lot of adjustments to the personnel, and the players that the fans had been waiting for were all deployed. The result as we can see, in the first half under the attack of the Saudi team, our defense did not do well, 0-2 down we can only fight to the best of our ability, the second half of the substitution of Luo Guofu, Alan, Ekerson and other naturalized offensive players, the combination of naturalized players finally played a role, we also saw that the attack with the other team has a back and forth fight, no longer as in the first half as just take a beating. Only from the strength shown, our team is obviously inferior to the Saudi team, so losing the game is expected, the key thing is how we should respond next."
Aiming at the weak defense shown by our team in this game, Bai Guohua said: "There are inherent deficiencies in the defense of this national football team. The first is the lack of competition training.
Li Tie (1977-), footballer
After taking over without playing a formal competition, directly into the top 40, and then there is no warm-up game to improve their own. The second is that many players in the lack of warm-up training, in the 12 strong match immediately exposed their own shortcomings. 12 strong match intensity is not the Super League, the Asian Championship can be compared, and the Super League, the Asian Championship is a lot of foreign aid to lead us to play. The third is that the national team is now very short of people in the center of the midfield axis position, Zhu Chenjie is still too young, Li Ang made a serious mistake, Ji Zhongguo and Jin Jingdao did not play their own level, or the level may be so. The fourth is the head coach in the defense system to build the problem, this competition we have tried four back, three center back, constantly in the swing, this is all related to the individual ability of the players, the head coach training and command level. The most important thing is that we are green and yellow."

Coach on the use of naturalized players, Bai Guohua pointed out: "First of all, do not fantasize that the local players will suddenly come out of the blue a bright performance to change the game, the level of our players now compared to the past there has been a big gap, otherwise why do we have to naturalize? Secondly, the naturalized players are mainly concentrated in the offensive line, Jiang Guangtai's individual role is limited, only a little better than the local players. This creates some problems for the head coach: the ability of the naturalized players is there, but the fear that they are all on the field will affect the balance of the entire formation, leading to problems in the defense, which may be the reason why
Li Tie (1977-), footballer
Not willing to field naturalized players all along the offensive line. In fact, we all know that our middle and backfield is subpar, so we have to maximize some of our strengths - naturalize players, substitute offense for defense, and by changing the players' field positions so that the naturalized players and the

, Zhang Yuning has more coexistence on the field, otherwise it is completely hopeless to play like this."
"Soccer game success or failure, if the result is good it is not called trial and error, losing may prove that the talent and mentality of the coaches have problems. 12 strong tournament span long, our team's situation is also relatively special, the head coach needs to consider a lot of things, (constantly changing formations) are not blameworthy. In fact, we discuss so many problems, if we win are not a problem. With the current environment of our country's soccer, losing again will not change (off)

Because a local coach is unlikely to be taken over and makes no sense at all. Foreign coaches we can think of are unlikely, and with the money involved, it's unlikely that our soccer team will make a big move in this area (foreign coaches' salaries) given the state of the game. And China's team has been two consecutive times to reach the Top 12, when the team can be stable to play at this level of competition, for the head coach's promotion is also very big." Bai Guohua analyzed it this way.
For the matches against Oman and Australia in November, Bai predicted: "After coming back the players have to continue closed training, psychological problems must be overcome. It's been two or three months since they've been locked up together, and they can't go out, and the space they have to move around in West Asia is pretty much just the room - on the pitch, and the psychological problems need to be dealt with. And we also have to consider whether the home stadium can be open, whether there can be fans, all these situations need to be considered. In addition, after the first four rounds of competition, the coaching staff and players have an understanding of their own strength, the rhythm of the game will be better mastered. Into the 12 strong and weak, but each game will be very stalemate, each game is difficult to win until the end. Against Oman our three points must be taken, otherwise it's a wash, against Australia certainly the strength of the underdog, but also must strive for victory."
