In a tense soccer duel, if China and Thailand draw, although China is still ahead by 3 points, they still need to tighten their nerves, because the final round of the match with South Korea can not afford to have the slightest slip-up. If they suffer a defeat on the road against South Korea, China will be in danger of being overtaken by Thailand. In short, the ideal outcome for China to ensure their advancement would be a victory over Thailand.
The second round of the battle between China and Thailand will be staged at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center. The smoke of the 14th round of the Chinese Super League has not yet cleared, and the Chinese men's soccer team has been preparing for the World Cup. Currently, the national team coaching team headed by Ivanovic has arrived in Shenyang. The CFA has released a squad list of 29 players, and the latest news reveals that they have urgently called up Zhang Yuning, bringing the number of players on the list to 30. The coaching team's hasty decision to call up Zhang Yuning is partly due to the fact that his injury is not serious, and partly due to the uncertainty surrounding Alan's injury.
With Wu Lei out of the tournament due to injury, the Chinese national soccer team has recalled veteran Alan in a bid to boost the team's offensive firepower. Facing the challenge of having to win all three points, the Chinese men's soccer team relies more on the offense. Wu Lei, as the team's key firepower, has been performing brilliantly in the Chinese Super League this season, leading the scorer list, but unfortunately could not play. Allan has been in fine form since his comeback in the Chinese Super League, scoring five goals for Qingdao Yellow Sea, but has unfortunately suffered an injury in recent matches.
On the contrary, the Thai team, captain Songkrasin accidentally injured, Boldin, Hai Paragon and Wirat also injured. Songkrasin has been confirmed to be unable to play in the China-Thailand match. Thailand's offensive strength may be damaged as a result, coupled with the pressure of playing on the road, they will have to defend, which will pose a greater challenge to the Chinese men's football team's offense, must find a strategy to break through the opponent's tight defense.
The Chinese men's soccer team is playing at home and Wei Shihao is in great form and is expected to be the key to the team's offense. Xie Pengfei, Fernando and other front court players have extraordinary strength, and despite the limited number of attacking points, there are still other available talents. Overall, the coaching staff of the national football team is facing a huge problem in both offense and defense, which is a severe test for them.
