Recently, numerous reports of

Commentaries on the matchup with Australia have been pouring in, ranging from in-depth analyses by professional soccer newspapers, to heated debates by self-published media V's, to insights from ordinary fans, but they all seem to have neglected the technical and tactical aspects of the game. Today, I'm going to try to cut through the purely technical and tactical angle and discuss

Why didn't they sub Allan in.

Clearly the intention was to steal the opener. Considering the short training period for the Australian team and the large number of substitutes

The quick attacking tactics were aimed at disrupting the opponent's formation. However, Australia managed to fend off the early defense of midfielders Wu Xi and Jin Jing Dao with the

The reason for substituting Zhang Yuning and Wei Shihao instead of Alan or Luo Guofu was the intense pressing in the Australian midfield and the inability of midfielders Wu Xinghan, Jin Jingdao and Zhang Xunzhe to pass the ball effectively, as evidenced by their stats. As a result of

Weak defense in the midfield and the inability to break the ball from the opponent's feet resulted in the strikers Ackerson and Wu Lei not getting enough support. Even when they gained possession of the ball after the break, they struggled to pass the ball forward in the face of interception from the Australian midfield.
With problems in both offense and defense in the midfield, sending in Alan did not help to change the attacking situation, as the midfielder could not control the ball, and even if he did, he could not pass the ball to the front. In contrast, Zhang Yuning was able to hold the ball on his back and control it, waiting for support from his teammates in the midfield. Facing the high press of the Australian team

The change in formation was swiftly responded to, with the whole team forming up, making it difficult for the backline players to get the ball out.
Why didn't you replace Lok Kwok Fu to strengthen the midfield defense? Luo Guofu's limited physical strength and range of motion are not enough to change the situation on the field. Although Luo Guofu played in Guangzhou

The reason for playing Wei Shihao instead of Alan is not because Wei Shihao is better than Alan. Allan is good at capturing chances in the penalty area, but lacks the ability to organize and link the attack in the midfield. Wei Shihao has been the core of the attack in Shandong Taishan's ladder team and the National Youth Football Team, and when it is difficult to get the ball out of the midfield, Wei Shihao is replaced in order to crack the Australian team's high press and coordinate the whole team's attack.

With the midfield fully suppressed by Australia, shot-stopper Alan, who needed strong midfield support, had a limited role to play in changing the situation on the field. Luo Guofu's defensive coverage was not as good as Ji Zhongguo's after he changed from striker to back. In fact, every player has his strengths and weaknesses, and the manager should try to utilize his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
specifically speaking

An important premise that must be considered for the match against Australia is that

The midfield does not support the forward line enough. Allan's strength lies in capturing chances in the penalty area, but his ability to organize and string together attacks is insufficient. Although some people think that Allan's organization is not as good as Zhang Yuning and Wei Shihao, but in fact, Allan is a scorer, not an attacking and organizing player, in this aspect, Zhang Yuning and Wei Shihao are indeed better than Allan.
Australia's players are extremely tactically savvy. For example, when Wei Shihao burst in with the ball, five Australian players surrounded him, but they did not foul him because

The midfield could not organize an effective attack. If a foul is committed against Wei Shihao, it instead gives the

The opportunity to organize the attack from a comfortable position. As a result, Australia chose to block Wei Shihao's passing route instead of committing a foul.
Overall.

The midfield performance was wimpy, resulting in the replacement of Alan was not the best choice. Without the support of the midfield, Allan could only work in vain in front of the field. In contrast, the substitution of Zhang Yuning and Wei Shihao had the hope of organizing the attack, although this hope was also dismantled by the high tactical quality of the Australian team.
