On June 5, a piece of news about the national football team's sideline storm made waves in Tianjin Daily. With Gao Junyi and Li Shuai, two of the main players, absent due to injury, the side defense of the national football team looks precarious.
The battle between China and Thailand is approaching, but the national football team suffered one blow after another. Gao Zhunyi due to appendicitis surgery, Li Shuai due to the injury has not healed, both farewell to the national team, return to the club treatment. This brings a lot of challenges to the lineup adjustment of the national football team.
The absence of Gao Zhunyi will undoubtedly have an impact on the defensive end of the national football team. Although Yang Zexiang and Wang Zhen'ao are not bad at right back, their lack of national team experience may affect their performance in critical moments. Huang Zhengyu may be able to fill in on a temporary basis, but the final choice will be determined by head coach Ivankovic. The national football team is in dire need of finding suitable replacements for Gao Junyi and Li Shuai before they take on China-Thailand.
