This afternoon, the Chinese men's national training team will organize a confrontation match in Shanghai, after this match, head coach Li Xiaopeng will circle the 25-man roster, and officially go to Japan on the 23rd, preparing for the seventh and eighth rounds of the round of 12 against Japan and Vietnam.
In addition to the 25 people in China, Wu Lei, Li Lei and Jiang Guangtai basically confirmed that the No. 23 direct flight to Japan and assembled with the team, whether Alain, Luo Guofu, Fernando and Axon rushed to Japan, it is still uncertain, and from the chat records of Alain and friends exposed on the Internet, Alain will most likely rush to Japan.
Just the day before yesterday, the Chinese team also concentrated on taking makeup photos of the coaching team and the makeup of the players, and what was surprising was that the 42-year-old Zheng Zhi took both the makeup photos of the coaching team and the players. As a result, all kinds of speculation came pouring in, and said that Zheng Zhi would be in danger, and there was a high probability that the general in the first battle against Japan would play, and some said that in view of the current qualifying situation, head coach Li Xiaopeng would most likely not let Zheng Zhi appear, and taking pictures was just a formality.
Let's not discuss whether Zheng Zhi appears, if you only analyze from the technical and tactical ability, is Zheng Zhi qualified? Li Tie led the team to play 6 round of 12 matches, the first five games had huge command mistakes, only the sixth game was supervised by the fans, slightly normal, let's take a look at the midfield layout of the first six Chinese teams.
In the first round against Australia, Li Tie sent out a 442 single back formation, and then was crushed by the opponent, Wu Xisi played a single back, Zhang Xizhe front, Jin Jingdao and Wu Xinghan played a full-back, and the midfield was completely exploded in this game. In the second round against Japan, due to the 0-3 loss in the first round, Li Tie became very conservative, changing to the 532 formation, midfielder Wu Xi + Yin Hongbo + Jin Jingdao, all three were equivalent to the back, Wu Xi's attack and defense weakness were exposed, and Yin Hongbo and Jin Jingdao's thin bodies were also completely exploded.
In the third round against Vietnam, Li Tie began to be confident again, using Wu Xi and Zhang Xizhe in the midfield, even in the face of such a weak opponent, Zhang Xizhe still could not hold back. In the fourth round against Saudi Arabia, Li Tie began to feel inferior again, using Wu Xi + Chi Zhongguo + Jin Jingdao's three backs, but to be honest, it was really effective to use Chi Zhongguo for Yin Hongbo, although Chi Zhongguo had strong running ability, but his body was thin, and he also liked to carry the ball, he and Jin Jingdao made countless mistakes in the whole field, and direct mistakes led to a loss of the ball. In the fifth round against Oman, Li Tie finally got a little normal, using Xu Xin + Wu Xi's double back, the performance was much better, and the sixth round against Australia still used this double back.
That is to say, in addition to the captain Wu Xi must start every game, the other midfield starts are Jin Jingdao, Zhang Xizhe, Chi Zhongguo, Yin Hongbo, Xu Xin and others, frankly speaking, in addition to Xu Xin, the other four people play a mess, and these four people have a significant characteristic, the body is not good, the confrontation is too poor.
In the midfield, their skills may still be used, but under the rhythm and confrontation of the round of 12, these four people play a mess, which also profoundly explains the truth that no body is nothing.
Zheng Zhi's biggest feature is excellent physical fitness, comprehensive ability, no big weakness, this season's Chinese Super League home game against Changchun Yatai, Zheng Zhi started to play the whole game, after the game was rated as MVP. Although he is already quite old, even if Zheng Zhi appears, he is really no worse than Jin Jingdao, Chi Zhongguo, Zhang Xizhe and others.
