Still reluctant to read too much into the tactical adjustments after the match, the passive situation in the first half was closely related to the players' rustiness in the 442 formation. Second half.

442 formation exposes midfield shortcomings
Li Tie (1977-), footballer
After taking over as head coach of the national team, there was silence on tactics. However, according to the players, the 442 (4312) formation has become the mainstay, while the long-used 433 formation has become an alternative. The outside world is worried about this adjustment, because the Chinese Super League clubs mostly use the 433 formation, the players are more familiar with it. In contrast, the 442 formation has more control in the midfield, but in Li Tie's 442 formation, the midfield defense looks weak, and the duties of Jin Jingdao and Wu Xinghan are not clear, and Jin Jingdao almost disappeared in the first half.
The use of Zhang Xizhe is also in question.

Zhang Xizhe was expected to control the ball and attack, but he did not show this ability in the first half of the game against the Philippines. Zhang Xizhe mainly plays the role of controlling the offense and long-distance shooting in Guoan's team, and it is difficult for the player to adapt when he is suddenly asked to take on more responsibilities. In addition, Zhang Xizhe's ability to defend at the back also looked inadequate.

Poor midfield leads to first half

Forced, Ickerson was frozen by the opponent and the attack was limited to a forced cross from Tang Miao on the right. The Philippines' counter-attack was quite threatening and nearly changed the score in the first half. However, Li Tie's boldness and decisiveness was commendable, as he decisively adjusted his formation to 433, an adjustment which was very useful for the
national soccer team
It's not difficult to say.
Li Tie's determination and decisiveness proved to save the

The first goal came from Jin Jingdao's interception in the center of the field. The first goal came from Jin Jingdao's midfield interception, a pass to Eckerson, and Eckerson's direct pass to Wu Lei for a one-touch chance. The second goal came from Tang Miao's three-point link up with the left and right wingers and wing backs. With the control of the midfield in hand, and with the dispatching of Jin Jingdao and Wu Xi, the midfield was instantly revitalized.
Can the 442 tactic continue?
Players return to the familiar 433 tactical system, and finally complete self-help. Li Tie's clinical command deserves to be recognized, he showed determination and courage in this major historical moment of life and death. Despite years of coaching in the Chinese Super League, this is the first time Li Tie has experienced such a stressful game.

Since then, it has taken a year and a half to arrange six intensive training sessions to bring the

The formation was changed from 433 back to 442 (4312) and focused drills were conducted. However, this does not mean that the 442 formation is the same as the current

Whether or not the 442 system can be sustained going forward becomes a question that the coaching staff must seriously think about.
Industry insiders generally believe that Lippi insisted on the use of 433 formation is still the most suitable now

The tactical system. On the one hand, most of the Chinese Super League clubs play the 433 formation at the league level, and the players are more familiar with it and don't need more integration. On the other hand, the current national team has the talent to play 433 on the personnel reserve, both Artemisia Junmin, Wu Xi, such as the old and strong, talented and comprehensive center forward, but also Wu Lei, Alan, Wei Shihao, such as quality wingers.
