At 18:00 Beijing time on January 27, the national football team will challenge Japan away in the 7th round of the group stage of the round of 12. Under the leadership of the new head coach Li Xiaopeng, the national football team is determined not to "pull the crotch", looking forward to changing the previous poor performance in this Sino-Japanese war, and striving to bring surprises and hopes to the fans. Li Xiaopeng said before the game: "Facing the no. 1 team in Asia, we don't need to do too much mobilization, I hope that the players can play their characteristics, go all out, live up to their mission, and use good play to give fans a good year." In addition, all the returnees are in very good shape. ”
It is undeniable that the current gap in strength between the national football team and the Japanese team is obvious, but it is definitely not as passive as in the first half of the first leg of the China-Japan competition. At least in the second half of the game at that time, the national football team had the opportunity to knock on the opponent's door. This time again against the Japanese team, although the national football team lacks Axon and the strange soldier Fernando, but Li Xiaopeng has Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning, Guo Tianyu and other strong local forwards, as well as naturalized player Alan, fully capable of creating a threat to the opponent in attack.
Who will be the new Houyi and shoot down the Japanese team? Wu Lei said: "I hope that in the days to come, more young players will take on the heavy responsibility of the national team, and playing for the national team is the mission of each of us, but also the mission of each generation, and our generation hopes to pass on the good things to young players." "From Wu Lei to Zhang Yuning to the younger Guo Tianyu, there is hope that starting from this match against Japan, he will become the new scorer of the future front line of the national football team, and strive for more goals and honors for the national football team in the intercontinental arena.
From the current point of view, Li Xiaopeng seems to be inclined to use the 343 formation when attacking and returning to 541 when defending. It can be said that the balance between attack and defense is the basic principle that Li Xiaopeng adheres to on the road of rebuilding the national football team, and it will also be the criterion for the steady rise of the national football team in the next period of time. As an indispensable role in the team's backline, Jiang Guangtai is looking forward to the team's ability to win an exciting victory with a clean sheet on the road. According to Jiang Guangtai, before merging with the national football team, he has been training with former national football fitness coach Rami in Dubai, and his physical condition has remained good: "After returning to the team for two days, I got along very well with the new coaching team. The strength of the Japanese team is good, but it does not mean that we do not have a chance, I believe that the coaching staff will have a detailed arrangement. ”
Zheng Zheng, who returned to the National Football Team, said: "It is very happy to return to the team, no matter what role I play, I will go all out to complete the game. I used to play more full-backs, and as I get older, I play more at centre-backs, I'm familiar with them, and I finish the game according to the requirements of my coach. At the same time, Zheng Zheng revealed that Li Xiaopeng has recently been reducing the pressure on the players, hoping that the whole team can easily face the game and play its due strength.
