The national football team against Thailand is expected to start: 6 people lock the main force!1 position is the most suspenseful, Wei Shihao has changed his moves
The Chinese men's football team is about to start the journey of the top 36 of the world preliminaries, and at 20:30 on the 16th, the Chinese men's football team will usher in the first game to challenge the Thai team. So what kind of formation and starters will the national football coach Jankovic put out in this campaign to face the "little fast" Thai men's football team.
Since taking over the helm of the Chinese men's football team, Jankovic has led the team to play a total of 8 games. In the first four games, he used a 4-4-2 formation, but since the 1-1 draw with Malaysia, Jankovic has changed to a 3-4-3 formation. In the first game against Thailand, Jankovic will most likely follow this formation.
Goalkeeper: Yan Junling
In the 8 games he led the team, Jankovic chose to trust Yan Junling. Because of this, unless Yan Junling is injured, Wang Dalei can only continue to be on the bench in the first game of the round of 36. What makes Chinese fans sweat is that Yan Junling has not performed well in the AFC Champions League qualifiers and Pathum United on behalf of Harbour before, and it is still unknown whether he can find his form in time against the Thai men's national football team.
3 defenders: Zhang Linpeng (Wang Shangyuan), Zhu Chenjie, Wu Shaocong
It is a pity that Jiang Guangtai, who has started the last 4 national team games, is absent from this list due to injury. In the central defender position, Jankovic may use Zhu Chenjie to replace Jiang Guangtai's position. In the right center-back position, Jankovic is likely to trust the 34-year-old veteran Zhang Linpeng. The left central defender, the only left-footed defender of the current national football team, Wu Shaocong of Turkey is expected to get a chance to start.
On the bench, Wang Shangyuan, who started the last two games against Vietnam and Uzbekistan, will be a change. If Zhang Linpeng needs to fill Zhu Chenjie's position, Wang Shangyuan will be expected to play as a right central defender, and Zhu Chenjie may move to the left. In other words, a combination of Wang Shangyuan, Zhang Linpeng, and Zhu Chenjie is also a potential starting choice.
4 Midfielders: Dai Weijun (Gao Tianyi), Wu Xi, Li Ke, Li Lei (Liu Yang)
In the last 4 warm-up games, Li Ke, a defender from Guoan, has started all of them, and he has locked a starting spot. Captain Wu Xi also started twice in four games, and the two are almost certain to be the back-to-back combination against Thailand. Left midfielder, Liu Yang and Li Lei will compete. In the last 4 warm-up games, Li Lei started 2 times, Liu Yang 1 time, but contributed 1 assist in the game against Vietnam. Which of the two starts against Thailand will depend on their form.
On the right side, it is the most difficult position for the national football team to predict. In the last 4 warm-up games, Jankovic used Deng Hanwen (VS Malaysia), Sun Guowen (VS Syria), Fang Hao (VS Vietnam) and He Yupeng (VS Uzbekistan), but these four were not selected for the current national team, and Jankovic was obviously not satisfied with the performance of the four. The author believes that Jankovic may use Gao Tianyi or Dai Weijun, the two core of the Asian Games team, to serve in this position, and may also let Liu Yang and Li Lei make a cameo.
3 forwards: Wu Lei, Tan Long (Zhang Yuning), Xie Pengfei (Wei Shihao)
Wu Lei, who has started all the last 4 warm-up games, is determined to lock a right winger place. Ackerson, who started 3 games, was unexpectedly defeated, and the center position, against Vietnam's starting Tan Longjiang and Zhang Yuning, competed for a position, as for Xie Weijun of the Jinmen Tigers, the probability of being suddenly reused in such a key game is undoubtedly quite small.
Left winger position, in the past 4 games, Jankovic has used Xie Pengfei (2 times), Lin Liangming (1 time), Wei Shihao (1 time). The starting team is likely to be selected from among the three, and because Wei Shihao made a mistake in the AFC Champions League, it may be better to appear as a backhand. And Lin Liangming has just returned from injury, and Xie Pengfei is undoubtedly more likely to play. In terms of benches, Chen Pu and Liu Binbin are also good moves.
To sum up, the 11 starting points of the national football team are likely to be: Yan Junling/Zhang Linpeng, Zhu Chenjie, Wu Shaocong/Dai Weijun, Wu Xi, Li Ke, Li Lei (Liu Yang)/Wu Lei, Tan Long (Zhang Yuning), Xie Pengfei (Wei Shihao). Yan Junling, Zhang Linpeng, Zhu Chenjie, Wu Xi, Li Ke, and Wu Lei almost locked the main force. The other five positions are based on their form to determine who will play.
