In Gusu nervous preparation for the upcoming 40 strong match of our men's national football team, recently held an internal teaching match, the results of the "main" team to 3-1 victory over the opponent. Among them, the much-anticipated returning star Wu Lei scored two goals and was in great form. In addition, two naturalized players, Eckerson and Alan, also scored goals, showing excellent competitive level.
It is reported that the national football team in Shanghai after the transfer to Gusu, all the players are still according to the plan of normal training, and confrontation training has become a daily mandatory course. Unlike Shanghai, the confrontation is no longer a confrontation to reduce the field area, but 11 people to 11 people of the whole field confrontation. On the third day after arriving in Gusu, head coach Li Tie organized an 80-minute internal teaching match for the whole team, with a 40-minute upper and lower half, and specially invited Wang Di to be the referee.
In this teaching match, the hosts played in a 442 formation, using a diamond formation, with Yan Junling defending the goal, and the defenders from left to right being Stanley Wang, Yu Dabao, Jiang Guangtai, and Zhang Linpeng; the midfielders were Fernando, Wu Xi, Zhang Xuzhe and Wu Lei, with Zhang Xuzhe playing as an attacking midfielder in a more forward position, and Wu Xi in a backward position. On the front line are Ekerson and Allan. This formation is similar to the one the team has rehearsed over and over again in previous practices, except that in the full-field confrontation of 11 against 11, Li Ke was withdrawn and Zhang Xizhe went straight into the main team. The formation is offense-oriented, targeting weaker teams such as Guam and Maldives, aiming to get all three points and more goal difference to cope with various changes that may occur in the future.
The formation is said to have shown a strong attacking presence against, especially Wu Lei. Previously, because of the little playing time in the Spaniard team, the outside world expressed concern about his status. But in the teaching match, Wu Lei performed well, scoring a goal in each of the first and second halves. Meanwhile, Ekerson, who has not scored in a sports game for a long time, also scored a goal in this teaching match, helping the main team to win 3-1.
It is worth mentioning that, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of players, the national team during the teaching match, according to the situation on the field to let the main force and the bench team of individual players to change positions. For example, Wei Shihao was on the bench in the first half, and then switched to the main team in the second half, and Alan was also replaced on the bench in the second half. After switching to the substitute team, Alain recovered a goal for the substitute team.
After this teaching match, the main framework or formation of the national team has been basically finalized, especially for Guam and Maldives. In the coming period of time, the national team will further strengthen the integration in the practice. And the future formation against the Philippines team as well as the Syrian team may continue to be adjusted and responded to in advance. On the other hand, the outside world's concerns about Wu Lei can now be completely eliminated through this warm-up match. Players playing in the European league, whether the training level or quality, are stronger than the Chinese Super League, which no longer need to argue.
On the 23rd, the weather changed in Southern Sudan and it rained heavily all day, and Gusau was no exception. As a result, the national team did not head to the practice field for ball practice, but instead switched to indoor physical practice. According to the plan, on the 24th, the national team will take a break and the players can have a good rest in the closed area. By the 25th, the team will start practicing again and then follow the rhythm of the 30th outing against Guam.
