In the World Preliminary Round of 12 in Asia, the Chinese men's football team lost 0-2 to the Japanese team, and did not win in 4 consecutive rounds! What is even more humiliating is that in the whole game, the national football team only had 2 shots on goal, 0 shots on target!
In the first game of Li Xiaopeng coaching the national football team, he did not use the five-guard formation as predicted by the outside world, but changed to 4231, with Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning, Arthur Junmin and Wu Xi starting, which did not look conservative. However, in the face of the absolute strength of the Japanese team, the Chinese men's football team still lacks offensive skills, and it is difficult to control the ball, let alone organize the attack, and it is impossible to create any opportunities.
Trailing 1-0 in the first half, Li Xiaopeng replaced Alain and Wei Shihao in the 56th minute with the intention of strengthening the attack. However, the attack of the national football team still had no effect, but the opponent went down to the next city and changed the score to 0-2. It wasn't until the 69th minute that Wei Shihao's free-kick was deflected straight at goal, and the first shot was late. In the 83rd minute, Wu Xi's right-footed shot from outside the penalty area was high, which was the second foot shot.
In the end, the national football team not only lost, but also shot 2 shots on goal and 0 shots on target in the whole game. You know, in the first leg against Japan, the national football team shot 3 times; 0-3 against Australia, there were also 7 shots on goal. Therefore, this is also the game with the fewest shots on goal in the Chinese men's football team in this round of 12.
In contrast, the Japanese team scored 2 goals with 16 shots on goal, 6 shots on target! In terms of possession rate, the national football team has only 37%, and the number of passes, the success rate of passes, the number of corners, the number of crosses and other offensive data are far less than japan. However, there were more yellow cards than the opponent, and Wu Lei ate one.
I have to say that although this is not the strongest lineup of the Japanese team, the gap in strength between the national football team and them is still quite large, and it is absolutely reasonable to lose so much.
