The 2021 season of midfield is officially over, and Shandong Taishan team has won the league championship for the first time in 11 years! The league is over, the next step is to re-enter the stage of preparing for the round of 12, there are only more than 20 days left before the next game against Japan, I believe that it will not be long before the latest training roster of the national football team will be released! After all, it is the new coach who takes office, Li Xiaopeng's selection of people will certainly not be the same as li tie's selection before, some positions are bound to make some adjustments, see which players will leave, and what new faces will join?
After the first six rounds of contention, the current ranking of Group B is:
Saudi Arabia is in first place with a record of 5 wins and 1 draw;
After a sluggish start, the Japanese team quickly found its form and is currently in second place in the group with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses;
Australia went high and low, and after six rounds of matches, it only achieved a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, temporarily ranking third in the group;
Oman beat Japan and then Vietnam, and they are currently in fourth place in the group with 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats;
The national football team only won the Vietnamese team in the first six matches, and now the record is 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, which is temporarily in the fifth place in the group;
Vietnam lost all 6 games and have not qualified for the group, but being able to play in the round of 12 is already very good for them.
The next round of Group B's three sets of duels are the national football team against Japan, Vietnam against Australia, Saudi Arabia against Oman, given that the opponents of Australia and Saudi Arabia are far weaker than themselves, the probability of their victory is very large, which means that as long as the national football team can not win against Japan, then the high probability will not qualify for the group, that is to say, you can start to prepare for the next World Cup. Therefore, the match against Japan will be a real "life and death battle", and the win will continue to be suspenseful, and the loss will be completely goodbye.
In terms of candidates, Zhang Xizhe and Yu Dabao, who have previously performed in the downturn, may be difficult to be selected into Li Xiaopeng's training list, but the two new stars of Shandong Taishan's Duan Liu Yu and Guangzhou's Yan Dinghao have a high probability of being selected, after all, the national football team is now very short of midfielders, and the two young players can provide more choices in this position. Among them, Duan Liu Yu was Li Xiaopeng's former favorite, when the two worked together in the Shandong team, Li Xiaopeng was very optimistic about this disciple, so when Li Xiaopeng took office, many fans speculated that Duan Liu Yu would be selected. In addition, Yan Dinghao, as the local assist king of the Chinese Super League this season, has shown good organization and passing ability, and now the national football team lacks such a characteristic midfielder.
On January 27, 2022, Beijing time, the "life and death battle" between the national football team and Japan, CCTV5 will also be broadcast live, and together for the national football team!
