In the early morning of October 13, Beijing time, the 2022 Qatar World Cup Asian qualifying round of 12 group B round, China's men's soccer team away from home with a score of 2-3 defeat to Saudi Arabia, so that the opponent has four consecutive victories, leading the standings. In this crucial match, Sohu Sports' "No Spit Soccer Man" program invited reporters Wang Xiaorui, Bai Guohua, and Xiao Blush to link up and provide in-depth analysis and comments on the match. Wang Xiaorui pointed out that our team is facing a great challenge in the game, losing all four games, and there are obviously problems with the training method and tactical thinking. At present, our team has not yet formed a set of fixed tactical style, but is in the process of continuous experimentation and replacement. From the perspective of player selection, the team's "management perspective" is also problematic. Even if they want to change the coach, they can't expect to grab points quickly in a short period of time. Looking back on the game, Wang Xiaorui said: "From the score, the result is still acceptable. Because in the case of 0-2, 1-3, we are worried that our team will lose by a large margin, or even by the Saudi team to play a wave of offensive climax. 2-3 score allows the team to return home with a relatively stable mentality, if the loss of more, it may trigger a series of chain reaction. For example, last time our team lost 0-2 to Uzbekistan on the road, and despite that, head coach Gao Hongbo announced his resignation in the post-match conference. So in terms of the atmosphere of the national team, the current situation is fine and manageable. But from the group stage, it has been difficult for our team to enter the World Cup proper, and there may be a chance of survival in the fight for third place in the group, but the next two rounds of matches may decide the fate of our team."
Away from the challenge of Saudi Arabia, head coach Li Tie in the first use again to make adjustments. Wang Xiaorui said: "Li Tie is playing a kind of 'test teaching' and 'test soccer', with four sets of starting positions and four playing styles in four matches. The formation 5-3-2 at the beginning of this game is more similar to the game against Japan, but the specific personnel organization has changed again. Including the match against Vietnam, there was a big contrast between the first and second halves of our team. Perhaps the preparation was rushed, the league just ended in August, our team only centralized and began to prepare for the game. But we were able to emphasize this factor in the first two matches of the 12-team tournament, and in the third and fourth matches our team actually had one month to prepare. So from these four games, our team did not create a set of formations and playing style, do not know what is the main play and style, unlike the opponent of Saudi Arabia's style is so distinct, almost engraved in the bone marrow of each player, at first glance is a well-trained team. The second goal conceded by our team is actually reflected here, they are practicing all kinds of playing styles and using all kinds of tactics, but in the end, they still rely on the individual ability of the players, and there is no set pattern. This is a very dangerous thing, back ten years, but also once put forward the slogan of the national character of the great unity, but now no longer work, because the national team's style are not very clear, how to guide the national youth team? Li Tie has been leading the team for two years, now come up with such a style, but obtained a five-year contract extension, this extension (not high value). This is not the national team that many of our fans expect to see." Some netizens expressed doubts about the game's starting Jin Jingdao and Ji Zhongguo, Wang Xiaorui said: "Tactical thinking determines the starting personnel, in fact, after this game we discussed the most is why the naturalized players on so late, why the naturalized players in the first half can not be more out of the game. I think this is related to our team's current guiding ideology - the first half of the main defense, the second half of the power, so our team started to play 5-3-2, so Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning, Ekerson, Luo Guofu together. Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning started because they scored in the last game, any coach in the world will organize to assist the team to achieve the first win in the tournament players started, I change no change formation these players will continue to use. Now look at our team's guiding ideology is not successful, as can be seen against Japan and Saudi Arabia, but if we can play a 4-3-3, on a few naturalized players, whether the success we are not clear, only through practice to test. For now, we can only say that the current thinking is not successful. On Jin Jingdao and Ji Zhongguo is also due to the realization that want to defend, so put them in the midfield, Saudi Arabia's 23 192 tall back very able to grab, Jin Jingdao and Ji Zhongguo is also in order to scramble with them. Now we need to discuss is whether to first half of the first defense, or like the 40 strong match came up to play 4-4-2, maybe Lippi era like playing 4-3-3?Now the problem is out of the thinking." Now China's team in the top 12 only achieved a victory, some fans asked Li Tie's position is not guaranteed, Wang Xiaorui analyzed: "the last game Li tutored the position is actually more risky, if the last game did not win, played into a draw, and then this game lost to Saudi Arabia, his position is more risky. Now the decision of his position is still with reference to the person who makes the decision - the leadership of the Football Association. If Li Tie out of the national team, want to find a strong successor is not too simple, now want to find not in our country's foreign coach to our country coaching from all aspects are more difficult, plus Lippi, Scolari, Boaz and other people's salary is relatively high, according to the current environment of the Chinese soccer, come up with 7,800,000 euros to hire a big-name coaches need to be the leadership of the Association of Football Association has a certain amount of boldness. However, regardless of Li Tie is to stay or go, our future team to find the head coach is still to have a clear direction, regardless of the soil is foreign, need the coach suitable for our team, the coach himself and his team's level of training should be very high, if the level of training does not go, regardless of this batch of players or the next batch of players, it is very difficult to have the opportunity to make a name for themselves in Asia, this is the basis of our decision. When Lippi coached the last batch of players
