After a year's buildup, the national soccer team has finally seen the dawn of the battle for revenge. With Coach Ivankovic's unique tactical layout and the team's never-say-die fighting spirit, they are expected to complete a comeback in a foreign battlefield and win their first victory in the 18-team tournament, thus adding another fire to the road to the World Cup.
Wu Lei has undoubtedly become a key pawn in the success of the national soccer team's revenge. Recently in the Chinese Super League (CSL), his goal and assist figures are very dazzling, and he has been honored as the top scorer in the CSL, showing a strong individual ability.
Facing his arch-rival Japan, Wu Lei will surely go all out and leave no stone unturned to bring out his full strength. In Ivankovic's tactical system, Wu Lei's offensive potential will be fully tapped.
However, to fully utilize Wu Lei's role, the strengthening of midfield power is indispensable. We need an Oscar-like central midfielder to pass the ball forward with precision. The secret to Wu Lei's goals lies in his speed rather than his dribbling. I hope Coach Ivankovic can pinpoint this and avoid misusing Wu Lei's strengths.
The first match of the world soccer qualifier will be the focus of the battle, CCTV5 will bring you the whole live broadcast.
