Behind the successive home victories of Taishan and Shenhua lies the mystery of the head coach's tactical adjustments in the second half. After watching these two AFC Champions League matches, many fans can't help but pull their thoughts back to the 1-2 loss between the national soccer team and Saudi Arabia not long ago. At that time, the national football manager Ivan's substitution strategy was widely questioned. Now, the big win between Taishan and Shenhua seems to have done justice to Ivan, who is expected to beat Saudi Arabia at home as long as he avoids major mistakes in his field command.
Undeniably, there is a significant difference between club matches and national team matches, and the Chinese Super League team has shown more resilience compared to the national soccer team with the help of foreign aid. Even if you lose at home, the Chinese super team can rely on the backbone to stabilize the position. This phenomenon, perhaps for the national football team to provide reference, that is, the national team can consider the introduction of 2-3 strong foreign aid naturalized players. With these naturalized players, the local players of the national football team will have more confidence on the field, and it will be easier to adapt to the Chinese Super League. As long as the Chinese Super League team can fully demonstrate the technical and tactical level on the stage of the AFC Champions League, I believe that the national football team is expected to break out of Asia and move towards the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
In fact, these two AFC Champions League victories have shown the way forward for the Chinese men's soccer team. In order to achieve good results in the coming 18-team tournament, the head coach of the national soccer team, Ivan, needs to be more decisive in his tactical command. At the same time, the FA should also start to consider the strategy of naturalizing players. If they can successfully naturalize 2-3 Chinese Super League (CSL) foreign players, the overall fighting strength of the national football team will be significantly improved.
