In a warm-up match, our national team ended a two-month-long victory drought with a 2-0 win over Vietnam. Compared to a month ago, the national team lineup has undergone a major reshuffle, with numerous Asian Games players being promoted.
Facing Vietnam, Coach Yankovic used a 352 formation in order to stabilize the midfield, with newcomers Fang Hao and Liu Yang playing as wingbacks, and Wu Xi and Li Ke occupying the starting positions in the midfield.
However, the performance of the first half of the national football team did not meet expectations, Wu Xi and Li Ke failed to effectively connect the front and back of the field, Jankovic decisively replaced Dai Weijun in the second half, the national football team gradually control the pace of the game, substitute Wang Qiuming for the team to open the first record.
Although Wusi is still a pillar of the national team, the 34-year-old's decline in form has been noticeable, with him no longer a mainstay for Shenhua in the league and increasingly struggling for the national team, with many fans calling for Jankovic to ditch him in favor of a younger player.
Some Shanghai fans suggested that Wu Xi could be replaced by a Hong Kong midfielder, but the player could not be replaced as he was not named in the national team roster.
Shandong media broke the news that Hong Kong's current international players were taken away for investigation on suspicion of problems in the Chinese Super League, and it was difficult to guarantee safety by paying 5 million yuan. Although the names of specific players were not disclosed, but the fans know the heart.
The player studied in Europe, playing for La Liga giants Atletico Madrid, before returning to China and joining Guangzhou Evergrande, where he won the Chinese Super League title and the FA Cup.In the 2021 season, he joined Shandong Taishan, where he quickly became the centerpiece of the team's midfield, and helped Taishan win the Chinese Super League double.
However, after only one season, the player sparked controversy when he was scouted by Shanghai Seaport. After joining Harbour, he did not perform as well as he did with Taishan. This season, he was dropped by Hong Kong coach Leko after his poor performance in the league. This season, after Javier took over, the player returned to the starting lineup, but his performance was still unsatisfactory, and after three rounds of the league, he has yet to score a goal or an assist.
Despite this, the player has been selected for the national team several times this year and suffered his first loss only this month. Some fans believe that this is due to poor performance in warm-up matches, and there are also rumors that he has been taken away by the relevant authorities for investigation. However, these rumors have not been confirmed. In the midst of the "anti-corruption" storm in domestic soccer, who can guarantee that these rumors are not true?
