At 23:00 Beijing time on March 24, the 9th round of Group B of the World Preliminary Round of 12 in Asia, the Chinese men's football team played against Saudi Arabia. In stoppage time, Sheikhri scored with a header and the national football team temporarily fell behind 0-1.
Because the start of the previous game was more offensive, the result was 3-1 by Vietnam. Compared with the previous game against Vietnam this time, only Xu Xin, Zhu Chenjie, Zhang Linpeng and Yan Junling were still in the starting lineup, and the other 7 were all replaced by Li Xiaopeng. From the perspective of formation, the formation of the national football team has also changed from 433 to 352.
Liao Lisheng, who was first recruited by Li Xiaopeng, took wu Xi's place, forming a 3 midfield with Xu Xin and Arthur Junmin, while Gao Zhunyi was placed on the right wing, which is not a familiar position for Gao Zhunyi, the last time he played this position was when he was still playing in Hebei Huaxia Happiness in the 2016 season, and he only played this position twice in his entire Chinese Super League career.
Li Xiaopeng's five-back formation can give a lot of pressure to the Saudi front at the defensive end, but the attack on the national football team has also weakened a lot, which is also the reason why the national football team scored 0 shots in the half.
The high-precision wing of the right wing on the right side of the 2 crosses on the right side can not be found to cover, which shows that the national football team does have a shortage of troops on the offensive end.
Before conceding the ball in stoppage time, the national football team was already in front of the door, and it was a pity that the national football team could not hold the 0-0 draw before the end of the half.
Of course, the national football team fell behind 0-1 in the half, which is already a great fortune in misfortune, Zhang Linpeng just played with fire in the backfield at the beginning, which almost caused the national football team to lose the ball. There was also a reckless tackle in the 22nd minute that almost sent a point.
