In the night of November 21st, in the early hours of Beijing time, our national soccer team welcomed the fierce competition in the first round of the 36th round of the Asian zone of the World Qualifying Tournament at home. It was a match with a clear difference in strength. After the first round, our team turned back Thailand 2-1, while South Korea beat Singapore 5-0. Currently, Korea is at the top of the group, followed by China. This second round matchup will undoubtedly be a key battle to determine the fate of the group.
From the overall strategic analysis, our team does not have too much pressure, 3 points in the first round has reached the bottom line of the goal, promotion situation is optimistic. On the contrary, the South Korean team, shoulders heavier team expectations, and our team strength is relatively weak, but can inspire a stronger fighting spirit, coupled with the advantage of the home field, is expected to reproduce the last World Preliminary Round 1-0 defeat of South Korea's glory. In terms of hard power and form, the South Korean team undoubtedly occupies an absolute advantage. In the last three encounters, the South Korean team won all three games. According to the "German turn" data show that the team's price is as high as 180 million euros, while our team only 11 million euros. In the face of such a huge gap in strength, coach Yankovic said that despite the difficulties, but our team's ultimate goal is still to strive to get points, to qualify for the World Cup. For this reason, he asked the whole team to increase the intensity of fighting and confrontation by 30%, to maintain the discipline of the game, and for every player to be clear about their tasks and goals. In a comprehensive analysis, our team's pragmatic goal for the home game is to strive to beat South Korea again 1:0. Of course, even if we can't win, as long as we don't suffer a crushing defeat and show the team's spirit, the process of the game is far more important than the result. Throughout the group stage, our team's exit strategy should be to beat Thailand in two rounds to ensure that we can advance to the Round of 18 as the second in the group. According to the analysis of the well-known domestic media Oriental Sports Daily, our team coach Yang Shuai will adjust the starting lineup and keep the 442 formation stable. It is expected that the outstanding performance of Xie Pengfei and Wang Shangyuan will enter the starting lineup, naturalized player Li Ke has no chance to start, and the team returns to 0 naturalization status. Attacking core Zhang Yuning and Wu Shaocong will be the bottom card, substituting to grab points. The starting 11 predictions are as follows: Wu Lei, Tan Long partner forward line, Xie Pengfei, Wang Shangyuan, Wu Xi, Wei Shihao composed of midfield, Li Lei, Zhang Linpeng, Zhu Chenjie, Jiang Shenglong composed of back line, goalkeeper Yan Junling. Li Ke, Zhang Yuning, Wu Shaochong, Dai Weijun, Liu Binbin and others may come on as substitutes. We hope our team can continue the good form of the first round and succeed in getting points. CCTV CCTV5 will broadcast the game live, so stay tuned.
