At 18:00 Beijing time on January 27, the 7th round of the World Preliminary Round of 12 in Asia, the Chinese men's football team played against Japan away. This game has a lot to see, has attracted a lot of attention, and is definitely not to be missed.
Watch point one: the 24-year spell of the national football team
In the first leg of the Round of 12, the national football team lost 0-1 to Japan. According to the statistics of the "Transfer Market", the last 11 meetings, the national football team 5 draws and 6 losses, the last defeat of the Japanese men's football team, but also back to the March 1998 Danas Cup 2-0, Li Bing scored twice. Can the curse of 24 years of invincibility be broken tonight?
Watch point two: can you retain a glimmer of life?
In the first 6 rounds, the national football team won 1, drew 2 and lost 3, ranking fifth, 6 points behind the third place Australia. If we lose to Japan and Australia to beat Vietnam, then there are 9 points behind in the remaining 3 rounds, the goal difference is much worse, and the national football team is actually out (although not theoretically).
Watch point three: Li Xiaopeng made his debut
Li Tie is out of class and Li Xiaopeng is in office, this is his first official game in charge of the Chinese men's football team, what kind of answer will he hand over? Remarkable and exciting. It is worth mentioning that Li Tie's debut, the national football team swept the Maldives 7-0 in the top 40.
Watch point four: whether there will be surprises at the start
New coach and new atmosphere, will Li Xiaopeng bring changes and surprises to Chinese fans on the starting 11 people? Does he have the courage to use newcomers, such as the midfielder Dai Weijun, who has successfully converted memberships, and will he make an unexpected start?
Watch point five: whether Wu Lei can score goals
As the only Chinese player to stay in the five major leagues, Wu Lei needs to hold up the façade in front of the Japanese foreign players. However, he has not been able to play at Espanyol recently, and the competitive state is worrying, and if he can break through the Japanese goal in this case, it will bring us even more surprises.
Watch point six: how the naturalization performs
Axon and Fernando were absent, and three naturalized people came to Japan. Luo Guofu accumulated yellow card suspension, Jiang Guangtai is sure to start, Alan may be substituted, but there should be a chance to play, although there is no game to play recently, he is still the goal hope of the national football team.
