It is worth mentioning that in the fierce battle between Shandong Taishan and their opponents, the outstanding performance of goalkeeper Wang Dalei and core midfielder Li Yuanyi was particularly eye-catching. If not for Wang Dalei's boldness in defusing the deadly strikes of the opposing forwards, Shandong Taishan might have lost more than just two goals. This makes people think that Wang Dalei may one day replace Yan Junling as the main goalkeeper of the national team.
Currently, the biggest challenge facing our national soccer team is the lack of power at the offensive end. Despite scoring two points in the three group matches of the Asian Cup, the grainy performance exposed the team's shortage of talent in the forward line. Especially impact players like Fernando, who are the key to tearing apart opposing defenses.
In the face of such a predicament, the new coaching team may re-evaluate the selection of Shandong Taishan players after watching the game. After all, there is a difference between the intensity of the AFC Champions League and the Chinese Super League, and in order to gain a foothold on the international stage, the team must reach a higher level of competition. In the face of Asian teams in the World Cup qualifiers, Shandong Taishan may take on the responsibility of training international players.
