Winning is undoubtedly the primary goal of a spirited challenge against the Japanese powerhouse, and even though the domestic players have not beaten their opponents, Ivankovic has the winning formula in his hands. Looking back to 2021, he took charge of the Oman coaching whip, led the team in the qualifying round to beat the opponent with a narrow advantage of 1-0, and the Japanese team's main players such as Junya Ito and Endo Hang all played in which, Ivan's victory is particularly valuable. If the national football team wants to beat Japan, the manager's unique tactics are indispensable, and defensive counterattack or the only way out.
In order to win, the play of the power of the strikers is crucial. The five strikers of the national football team, Zhang Yuning, Baihe Lamu, Fernando, Alan and Wu Lei, will be flexibly matched, and Baihe Lamu and Fernando will be more suitable when they play against the strongest enemy. Wu Lei's goals in the Chinese Super League are like a rainbow, the hot form of him, but due to the lack of Oscar such a superstar and a little low-key; in the face of Shenhua and other strong teams, his sense of presence is reduced; and against the Japanese team, he and Zhang Yuning's substitutes may be able to bring the "Tian Ji Race Horse" kind of miracle effect.
The national football team will challenge Japan on the road at 18:35 on September 5 and host Saudi Arabia on the 10th the following day. Thanks to the tight schedule, the players were able to avoid the strain of traveling long distances. Ivankovic picked players he knows well. A surprise win and three points would be perfect; even a single point would count as a gain. Can Wu Lei be a key part of the team? Who will guard the goal between Wang Dalei and Yan Junling, these are the questions to be answered. Naturalized players Alan and Fernando will be the focal point of the team's change in the forward position. Although Japan's players have been practicing in European leagues and have excellent individual abilities, the Chinese soccer team still has a chance to take advantage of them.
