As September 2 approaches, the national football team for the Asian Games is assembling in Hangzhou to prepare for the upcoming Hangzhou Asian Games. The overall strength of this current team should not be underestimated. Recalling the warm-up match with South Korea in the Asian Games in June, the national soccer team has one loss and one win, showing a not bad competitive state. Nevertheless, with Tao Qianglong, Liu Zhuyun, Huang Zihao and other outstanding players returning to the Olympic Games, the Asian Games team had to face the challenge of lineup adjustment.
Tao Qianglong, an absolute mainstay of the national soccer team who played in the midfield in the warm-up matches, has now joined the Olympic team coached by Sung Yeo Tung with a view to helping the preparations for the Games. The Olympics face opponents including the UAE, India and the Maldives, with the match against the UAE being particularly crucial. The Olympics are keen to finish top of the group stage.
Tao Qianglong's return has prompted the coaching staff of the National Football League's Asian Games team, Djurdjevic, to seek out the best players in the domestic league in order to supplement the lineup. Tan Long, Gao Tianyi and Barton have a good tactical match, but on the offensive end, veteran Tan Long's technical superiority is obvious, but he is still inferior to Wu Lei in terms of speed and overall offensive experience. If Wu Lei can join, the offense of the national Asian Games team will be sharper.
Wu Lei, the top scorer in Chinese soccer, is second on the Chinese Super League's top scorer list with 14 goals and 6 assists, and is also the king of goals among local players. He has trained with the national soccer team for the Asian Games and now, his return will inject a strong offensive firepower into the team.
Preparing for the Asian Games tournament, the national Asian Games team will inevitably conduct defensive training, such as the 4-5-1 formation. As an attacking player, Tan Long's performance is not as good as Wu Lei's, but Wu Lei's experience of studying abroad and his excellent game form make him expected to be the Asian Games team striker. The Asian Games team's lineup itself is very strong, coupled with the advantage of playing at home, the national football team is full of confidence in the Asian Games.
In order to improve the team's technical and tactical level, the National Asian Football Team plans to play warm-up matches with several teams, including Asian Games teams and domestic league teams, before the Asian Games. This will help the team better understand their opponents and reduce the fatigue caused by long-distance travel. I believe that the National Football Asian Games will show strong competitiveness and achieve excellent results in the Hangzhou Asian Games.
