In the 7th round of the World Preliminary Round of 12 in Asia, the national football team challenged the Asian powerhouse Japan on the road. The match will start at 18:00 on January 27, which is the first game since the new coach Li Xiaopeng took office, and the only naturalized players who can play in the team are Alain and Jiang Guangtai. After taking over Li Tie's coaching whip, can Li Xiaopeng lead the national football team to send a surprise to the fans? CCTV5 channel will broadcast the match live at 18:00, and the commentary is Liu Jiayuan.
In the current standings, Japan's team has 12 points from 4 wins and 2 losses, ranking second in the group, while China is 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, with only 5 points, ranking second from the bottom. In theory, the national football team still has the hope of fighting for the play-offs. But if you want to achieve this miracle, you must win all 4 of the remaining games, and Australia must lose at least 2 games. This probability is equivalent to the last 2 minutes of stoppage time, but the Chinese team has to score 3 goals to turn the game.
After replacing Li Tie as the manager of the national football team, Li Xiaopeng faced more problems. Among the naturalized players, Axon was not selected for this list, Fernando returned to Brazil temporarily after arriving in the Netherlands, and Luo Guofu was suspended for this game, only Alan and Jiang Guangtai could play against Japan. However, after playing against Australia, Alain has not participated in an official competition for more than 2 months, and the quality of training cannot be guaranteed.
For Japan, if they want to finish in the top two of the group, this home match against China must be won. The Japanese team now has countless foreign players, and its strength is also the main player in the five major leagues. Endo is the captain of bundesliga stuttgart, Kamada Daichi is the attacking core of Frankfurt, Takumi Minamino liverpool is also a rotational odds, and Kenyo Fuan, who missed this training camp due to injury, is the absolute main force of Arsenal. Therefore, the strength of this Japanese team is far higher than that of the Chinese team, and it is no wonder that Japanese fans demand that the team must win by 3 goals or more.
This game, for Li Xiaopeng and the national football team, is a typical face battle. Chinese fans obviously don't have too many extravagant hopes for the outcome of the game, but if they make a threatening shot, I am afraid that the fans are already satisfied, and if they can force the Japanese goalkeeper to make a save, it will be even more gratifying. However, Wu Lei, who has not played in 7 consecutive games in La Liga, may find it difficult to break through the European-level backline of the Japanese team.
This game, CCTV5 channel will be broadcast live at 18:00 on the 27th, Liu Jiayuan explained. I hope that Li Xiaopeng and the national football team can send a surprise to Chinese fans.
