The national football team formation is solid, and the front four of Wu Lei, Wei Shihao, Ekerson and Lin Liangming is called the golden combination. Zhang Yuning will also occupy a place if he recovers. The back line, Jiang Guangtai, Zhang Linpeng, Zhu Chenjie, Gao Junyi, Deng Hanwen, Wu Shaochong composed of the main lineup, although no new faces, but the strength should not be underestimated.
There is more room for change in the midfield position. Veterans Zhang Xizhe and Wu Xi are in their twilight years, and their speed and confrontation ability are not as good as that of the younger players. Sun Guowen, Xu Xin, and Zhang Jiaqi are in obvious decline, making it difficult for them to take on big roles.
Midfield reorganization is imminent. First, eliminate those with insufficient ability such as Xu Xin, Wu Xi and Sun Guowen. Secondly, activate creative passers like Dai Weijun and Li Ke, and flexible wingers like Xie Pengfei and Barton to tear through the opponent's defense.
The Asian qualifiers are in full swing, with the national soccer team in the same group as South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Guam. In order to ensure advancement, the national soccer team needs to stand out in the group stage. Coach Yang Kovic needs to reuse the naturalized players, and strive to not lose points in the first match against Thailand, try to score in the second match against South Korea, and fight for goal difference in the next two rounds against the weak teams.
