In October, China's soccer players are in full swing, with two warm-up matches in October coming to a close. In these two matches, the country enough to beat Vietnam by two goals, but in the match with Uzbekistan, the team's strength is particularly critical. Although the Uzbek team is only one place higher than our country in the Asian rankings, the actual strength is strong, ranked in the middle and upper reaches of Asia. In order to return to the top ten in Asia, the national football team must first beat the U.S. team, this duel can not be lost. Three years have not seen, the two sides again, the national football team to play, the U.S. team also go all out.
In the battle, Uzbekistan showed strength, with possession of the ball consistently between 60 and 80 percent, and a strong attack. The national soccer team, on the other hand, seemed to be out of their depth, with only a quarter of the number of shots on goal as the U.S. team. In terms of set-pieces, Uzbekistan had 10 corner kicks, while the national football team had only one, and the number of shots on goal was naturally limited by the weak base of offensive conversion.
Although the shooting efficiency is still acceptable, the national soccer team still has room for improvement. The Ugandan team 24 shots only 8 times hit the goal frame, shooting efficiency is far lower than the national football team. However, the loss of the national football team also exposed some problems, such as Wang Qiuming in the game only lasted 45 minutes to leave the field, and then sent to the hospital for treatment, the injury is serious.
Imaging tests showed that 30-year-old international player Wang Qiuming has damaged the collateral ligaments in his knee and will need to be out of action for some time. This injury not only affects the league, but also may affect the next world qualifier. For the Jinmen Tigers, Wang Qiuming's absence is undoubtedly a major blow. As the team's only main international footballer, Wang Qiuming became the hero of the victory with a goal against Vietnam, but now he has become the only international footballer who suffered a serious injury in October.
Wang Qiuming has made 28 appearances this season, scoring six goals and assisting on one. Injuries to the Jinmen Tigers' core players have left head coach Yu Genwei with a huge challenge to find a suitable replacement to make up for this loss.
