On March 24, Beijing time, the national football team, which had been working hard for 2 months, finally ushered in the opportunity to justify its own name. At 23:00 this evening, at Sharjah's "home" against Saudi Arabia, the first place in Group B, CCTV5 will broadcast the match live. In the early morning of this morning, the U23 national football team has taken the lead in prototyping, although it lost 0-1 to the U23 UAE team, but the whole game was full of hard work and showed the fighting spirit that should be there. Moreover, if it were not for the referee "stealing" a penalty, the U23 national football team could have won a draw. It can be said that the U23 national football team uses practical actions to tell the national football team that although there is a gap in strength, as long as it does not give up enough to fight, everything is possible.
In addition to the incentive of the U23 national football team, the national football team has also made sufficient preparations in the past 2 months and has been waiting for the arrival of this day. In order to alleviate the tension with the fans, it is said that the national football team is unusually united, and everyone is holding their breath and wanting to go all out to fight for this game in Saudi Arabia. Of course, it is not enough to fight Saudi Arabia. The strength of the national football team is like this, so Li Xiaopeng's platoon deployment and on-the-spot command have also become important factors.
Speaking of platooning, we can see from the recent warm-up matches of the national football team that Li Xiaopeng's guidance has begun to update the national football team. Therefore, the average age of the starting 11 people of the national football team in this game will be reduced a lot, and many new people will appear in the starting lineup. At present, the national football team 23-man roster has been announced, and then the individual will make a prediction of the starting 11 people and share it with the majority of fans according to the lineup of the national football team in recent warm-up matches and the situation of the national football team.
In the past few warm-up matches, Li Xiaopeng has adopted a 3-4-3 formation more. The advantage of this formation is that when counterattacking, there can be more than one person involved in the attack, and when defending, it can change 5-4-1, so that more players can participate in the defense. The 3-4-3 variation of 5-4-1 means that 2 wing-backs retreat and 3 centre-backs form 5 defenders, while 2 wingers retreat to midfield and 2 backs to form 4 midfielders. This change requires the two wingers to have the ability to play in midfield.
We found from the past few warm-up matches that Li Xiaopeng likes to let Dai Weijun, Liu Binbin and Zhang Yuning form a combination of 3 strikers. We all know that Liu Binbin and Dai Weijun were originally playing in the Chinese Super League more time in midfield. So, this combination should be continued into this evening's game. In terms of defenders, Zhang Linpeng, Jiang Guangtai and Zhu Chenjie will lock in 3 main places as long as there is no accident. Due to Li Lei's absence due to injury, the best candidates for the 2 wing-backs will be Gao Zhunyi and Liu Yang. As for the goal, it is basically guarded by Yan Junling. Now only the back position, there will be some uncertainty.
3-4-3 formation, the double back must have hardness. In this way, Xu Xin should occupy a starting position as long as his state is no problem. Between the high probability of the national football team to play a defensive counterattack, the back position needs a player with the ability to play the ball, preferably a player with a long pass. Now wu xi is suspended, and the people who can choose are Liao Lisheng, Zhang Xizhe, and Arthur Junmin. In other words, these 3 players are the hardest of Arthur Junmin, but he is too old to basically exclude the starting list. Liao Lisheng and Zhang Xizhe's ability to play the ball is good, but the ball style is soft, but Liao Lisheng is still tougher than Zhang Xizhe. Therefore, I personally feel that Liao Lisheng will make his debut.
In this way, the starting list of the national football team is: goalkeeper Yan Junling, 3 centre-backs Zhang Linpeng, Jiang Guangtai and Zhu Chenjie, 2 wing-backs Gao Zhuanyi and Liu Yang, double back Xu Xin and Liao Lisheng, and 3 forwards Dai Weijun, Zhang Yuning and Liu Binbin. This set of starting lists, although there are still many veterans in it, but the average age has dropped to 26.6 years old, which is also quite good. As a fan, do you think this starting lineup will be the starting lineup of tonight's national football team, tell me your opinion!
