After a close 3-2 win over Vietnam, the joy of victory had not yet had time to fully overflow.

The soldiers did not let up - Beijing time in the early morning of October 13, the fourth round of the 12 round of the tournament is about to start, and this time the opponent, it is the first three rounds of 9 points of Saudi Arabia. For

It's certainly a grueling test. Well, at the moment the
national soccer team
Who are the "newcomers" that will help the team?
First, let's look at the offensive line. Exxon,
Wu Lei (1979-), Chinese footballer
Players such as Zhang Yuning, Alan and Luo Guofu made their full debuts, as did side players such as Wu Xinghan, Liu Binbin and Wei Shihao. Currently unseen is Guo Tianyu, although the battle between China and Vietnam would have been the best time for him to make an appearance, but another local winger Zhang Yuning made his debut and performed well.
As a matter of common sense, Zhang Yuning is naturally the starting center forward for the China-Saudi battle.

Such a strong fulcrum is badly needed. However, Zhang Yuning had a huge exertion in the China-Vietnam battle and has an injury situation. Even if he starts, it will be difficult to support the whole game. In this case, Guo Tianyu has every chance to get a chance to play as a substitute. Although Guo Tianyu plays as a center forward, he has both speed and impact power, and is fully capable of becoming a

The replacement odd man out.
In reality, the offensive line isn't a concern.

The real concerns are the backs and the defense. In the China-Australia game and the China-Vietnam game, the
national soccer team
Problems at both the back and center back positions, which are
national soccer team
Skipper Li Tie can't get around the dilemma.
Saudi Arabia's players are flexible, fast, and capable of passing and receiving the ball, and in response to this characteristic, in terms of back and defense line configurations
national soccer team
It would require a targeted response.
For Li Tie, the battle between China and Saudi Arabia to take defensive counterattack tactics is unquestionable. But he still needs to face a choice: whether to strengthen the back or strengthen the defense? If strengthening the defense, then
national soccer team
It would be possible to use a five-guard setup, and the biggest advantage of this option is that it solves the problem of
national soccer team
The problem of the open ribs, because Saudi Arabia's use of the opponent's open ribs is one of the common set-ups in their offense. The other option is to strengthen the backs to block Saudi Arabia's offense and penetration by strengthening the backs' defensive capabilities.
In addition to the two starting backs, Wu Xi and Zhang Xizhe, Artemis is the premier rotating back. In hindsight, having Artemis return to the starting lineup might have been a good choice. If it's a three backs, Artemis drags back, with Wu Xi and Jin Jingdao (Ji Zhongguo) on the left and the right to form a three backs setup that

The quality of defense in front of the penalty area can then be fundamentally guaranteed.
Of course, these are conventional ideas. In fact.
national soccer team
The allocation at the back is still quite ample. Xu Xin and Wang Qiuming are both back players, and they have performed very well in the league. Li Tie called them up, obviously recognizing the problem at the back as well. They may need to take some risks in a two-back system, but in a three-back system, they have every chance to get a position. For example, Wang Qiuming has both skill and speed, and is not unsuitable for the job.
In the backline, whether using five or four defenders, Gao is
national soccer team
The raw talent. His performance in the league is stable, and he is young, fast and flexible. Taking the five defenders as an example, it might be a very suitable arrangement for Stanley Wong to return to the right side of the defense and give the left side to Gao Junyi. As for the center backs, Zhu Chenjie performed well in the China-Japan battle, but he was accidentally injured in the training afterward, and it is still unknown whether he can recover before the China-Saudi battle.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Gang was injured in the China-Vietnam match, although the news shows that Wang Gang is not seriously hurt, but I am afraid that he will still have some effects in the China-Saudi match. In this case, it is actually a very suitable arrangement to let the stable performance of Wang Shenchao in the back line to strengthen the defense on the right side, and give the left side to Gao Junyi.
One reality is that
national soccer team
The current defense configuration is actually still flawed. The opponents of this 12-team tournament, Japan, Vietnam and Saudi Arabia, are all fast and flexible teams that
national soccer team
There should be more speedy players in the backline. For example, in the battle between China and Vietnam, after Wang Gang went off with an injury
national soccer team
It's entirely possible to make a substitution for a defensive right back, so
national soccer team
of the defense might not be in disarray.
In fact.

With the current lineup choices, we can clearly see Li Tie's thought process, which is that he trusts more in the players who have been following him, which is likely to be the same for the
national soccer team
The reason newcomers couldn't get a chance before. But 2 battles in 5 days.
national soccer team
Physical originally general, coupled with the average age of the starting lineup, the main players are also generally tired, this time to give newcomers to the opportunity, there may be unexpected benefits. Of course, about the state of the players, our theoretical analysis and interpretation, ultimately subject to the training status of the players, this aspect of Li Tie is also the most vocal.
