The national football team is attacking the World Cup, and the new lineup has three question marks, which need to be answered

Today next week, the Chinese men's football team will embark on the journey of the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup Asian Qualifiers round of 36, challenging the Thai men's football team in the first round, and facing the South Korean men's football team at home in five days. Two days ago, the Chinese team announced a 24-man training list, and Shandong Taishan, Shanghai Shenhua, Shanghai Port and Beijing Guoan each had four players selected.

After the two warm-up matches against Vietnam and Uzbekistan last month, we discussed Jankovic's line-up and the possibility of selecting personnel. Now that the training camp roster has been officially announced, there are some things that can be corroborated with each other, and there are some options that really exceed our expectations and those of most fans. Like what...... Exxon's defeat.

Exxon was not selected, who will be the center?

From September to October, Ackerson played three times in the four warm-up matches of the national football team, rested once, and was substituted in two of the three games he participated in (against Malaysia and Uzbekistan) and played the whole game against Syria. There were no goals or assists throughout, but the value of a number nine player is not only through attacking stats. Suppressing the central defenders, taking on the pressure to form depth, and acting as a fulcrum to contact teammates are all the responsibilities of a genuine center forward.

Among the naturalized players, Jiang Guangtai continued to be selected, and Aikesen was not selected

Take a look at the frontcourt players selected in this list, Chen Pu, Wei Shihao and Lin Liangming are relatively far away, Xie Pengfei and Dai Weijun's roles are between the front court and the midfielder, Wu Lei and Tan Long are relatively forward, but the type and ball road cannot replace Ackerson. Looking at the list in a circle, only Zhang Yuning is the real No. 9 player, but he has been absent from injury for a long time this season, and he only returned from injury before the end of the Chinese Super League, and his state is really a big question mark.

Perhaps in the first match against Thailand, Jankovic will consider repeating the arrangement in the previous match with Vietnam: Tan Long and Wu Lei are paired with two forwards, with Li Ke + Wu Xi + Xie Pengfei as the three midfielders behind him, and Xie Pengfei will be guarded by Li / Wu to step forward to liberate his offensive creativity. It just so happens that both games are played against Southeast Asian teams, which has a certain reference significance. It's a pity that Wang Qiuming, who opened the scoring against Vietnam, was injured and missed the list of the World Preliminaries, and the position of the central midfielder is basically Li Ke, Wu Xi, Gao Tianyi, Dai Weijun, Xie Pengfei to rotate two (if you play 352, it will be three) vacant seats.

Who is the right wingback?

In addition to the forward arrow, the most suspenseful position of the Chinese men's football team in the schedule of this World Preliminary Tournament is the right wingback, and its suspense is even above the forward matching. In the previous four warm-up games, Jankovic used four different starting right wing-backs - Deng Hanwen (against Malaysia), Son Guowen (against Syria), Fang Hao (against Vietnam) and He Yupeng (against Uzbekistan), and all four players were not selected for the 24-man squad. Some are coach-made decisions, some are injury issues.

On September 12, Chengdu, Sichuan, 2023 Football Friendly Match, Chinese Men's Football Team 0-1 Syria. Zhang Linpeng scored with a header

According to the list, there are roughly two possibilities: First, judging from the warm-up games, Jankovic will basically use the three-center-back formation as the starting system, and in the two most recent games in October, Wang Shangyuan has played the role of starting right center-back. If this arrangement continues to the round of 36 of the World Preliminaries, then Zhang Linpeng may be put on the side by Jankovic. It's a familiar position, and the problem is that he hasn't played his old role much this season. At Harbour, the right wing-back/right wing-back position has been held by Wang Shenchao most of the time, and the most recent adjustment was in the penultimate round of the league against Guoan, Xavier put Wang Shenchao on the left side of the start, Lu Wenjun up front, and Zhang Linpeng to fill in the right back. But that game... Harbour didn't win.

In addition to Zhang Linpeng's right move, another way to deal with it is to put the winger/full-back player in the back, similar to the use of Fang Hao against Vietnam. This treatment was also traced in the previous warm-up matches. In the second half against Uzbekistan, Jankovic replaced He Yupeng with Chen Pu and asked him to stand in the area of the right wingback. Chen Pu's team-mate Liu Binbin could also be concocted in the same way, using their energy and pace to fill the right side of the court.

Wei Shihao?

In the first game against Thailand, Jankovic may put 343 to hold high the offensive banner - in this case, Wei Shihao (or Xie Pengfei), Wu Lei and Tan Long may become the starting three forwards - or as mentioned earlier, play 352 to thicken the midfield, and keep players like Wei Shihao and Lin Liangming as the backhand, after all, in the first game of the world preliminaries, we are playing away.

As for the home game against South Korea, the more likely strategy is to first stabilize the defense to withstand the impact of South Korea and wait for the opponent's strong period to pass. In this case, the timing of the use of Wei Shihao is very important, and for a long time in the previous warm-up match with Uzbekistan, it was Wei Shihao's advance and receiving of the ball on the left side of the pitch that supported the offensive and defensive passing of the national football team, and hit the pressure to the Uzbek half in a limited number of times. In this World Preliminaries, in addition to Wu Lei, the local top scorer of the Chinese Super League, Wei Shihao and Xie Pengfei may be the two most noteworthy and expected points in the midfield, which are potential variables. Hopefully, Wei Shihao can focus on football itself and truly show his value.
