Two matches settled the dust in the national team's October warm-up season. In the match against Vietnam, the national team won by two goals, while the showdown with Uzbekistan was a great test of the team's strength. Although the U.S. team is ranked only one place ahead of the national soccer team in Asia, it has extraordinary strength and is in the middle and upper levels of Asia. If the national soccer team wants to return to the top ten in Asia, the challenge of Uzbekistan is undoubtedly a key battle. Three years have not met, the two teams are highly valued, the main force out.
Watching the game, Uzbekistan showed a clear advantage, with 60 to 80 percent of the ball in their possession and a pressing style of play. The number of shots on goal in the whole game was as high as 24, compared to only 4 for the Chinese team. In terms of positional kicks, the U.S. team had 10 corner kicks, while the national football team had only one, exposing the shortcomings of the offensive conversion. Although the national football team's shooting efficiency is still good, but the ability to grasp the opportunity in front of the goal needs to be improved. Wang Qiuming was accidentally injured and left the field after only 45 minutes of play and was rushed to the hospital. Imaging results showed that 30-year-old international player Wang Qiuming suffered a collateral ligament injury in his knee and is out for the rest of the season. This is undoubtedly a major blow to the Jinmen Tigers, with Wang Qiuming being its only starting international player. His goal against Vietnam helped the team win, but now he has become the only international player seriously injured this month. Wang has made 28 appearances this season, contributing 6 goals and 1 assist. With Jinmen Tigers' core player injured, head coach Yu Genwei is faced with the challenge of finding a replacement. This accident not only affects the league, but also may affect the next world qualifiers. It is not easy to recover from a knee injury, and it will take time to regain one's form after recovery.
