On October 6, on the eve of a much-anticipated match between the national football team and Vietnam, veteran media personality Pan Weili boldly predicted the starting lineup of the national football team in his personal live broadcast. He predicted that the national soccer team will use the classic 442 formation and speculated that Guo Tianyu and Zhang Yuning will come on as substitutes after the game reaches 60 minutes. Coach Li Tie has little trust in Gao Junyi and expects Wang Shenchao to take the starting spot. Pan Weili also revealed that Fernando may have decided not to play for the national soccer team, while Li Ke's contribution may also be limited, while Zhonghe Group has encountered difficulties in paying salaries.
For the match against Vietnam, Pan Weili believes that the national football team will follow the 442 formation, the front line will be led by Wu Lei and Aixon, the midfield has Zhang Xizhe, Wu Xi, Artemisia, Jin Jingdao, the back line from left to right is Stanley Wang, Jiang Guangtai, Zhang Linpeng, Wang Gang, the goalkeeper is Yan Junling. Talking about the configuration of the front line, Pan Weili analyzed that Guo Tianyu and Zhang Yuning's substitution will be after 60 minutes, given that Guo Tianyu has not participated in the two months since his return from injury, the direct debut may be detrimental to his recovery. Wei Shihao's physical condition and athletic state also do not support continuous play, he is eager to prove himself in the national team, to restore the dignity lost in the Uzbekistan game, eager to make a difference in the national team.
In the left back position, Gao Junyi gets a lot of attention, but Pan Weili thinks that coach Li Tie won't give him too many chances, "Li Tie never gave Gao Junyi any chances in the first two matches, and as you can see from the interviews, Li Tie never mentioned Gao Junyi too much. As a matter of fact, Gao Junyi had the best performance in the league in July, but he couldn't get any chances in the national team, both in form and psychology have been hit, he seems to have wandered away from Li Tie's core lineup. Perhaps it was because Gao Zhunyi's call-up was too high that Li Tie deliberately let him lose his chance; an airborne rookie coach won't easily give him a chance in a key game. Therefore, with Li Lei unavailable, Li Tie will likely place Wang Shenchao in this position."
As for Fernando, Pan Weili bluntly expressed his disappointment, "Fernando is now apoplectic and won't play for the national soccer team anymore, and his agent is probably already looking for a new way out for him. Naturalized players are like mercenaries, getting paid to do things. After Evergrande encountered a crisis, let's not expect too much from Fernando. For the other naturalized players in Guangzhou team, CFA will assist them to find new teams. Fernando's long term injuries may deter many teams, despite his youth, he has been injured and difficult to manage, no club will be willing to receive such a hot potato."
As for other naturalized players, Pan Weili said bluntly, "Li Ke's contribution to the national football team is limited, and I heard that, Zhonghe Group also encountered problems in paying salaries. This kind of thing, local players have been accustomed to, but naturalized players and foreign aid is difficult to accept. Wasn't it when Augusto left that Guoan didn't pay wages for a while too? Iverson will play well in national team games this year, and this group of naturalized players, besides looking at money, actually have the desire to play in the World Cup, as Luo Guofu said that joining the Chinese team is the closest he'll ever get to the World Cup."
