In a high-profile warm-up match, the Chinese men's football team is about to face the Oman team, which is not only the last national A-level competition in 2023, but also an important training opportunity before the Asian Cup. In this game, the starting lineup of the national football team has attracted much attention, and the selection of every position is full of tactical considerations and expectations.
First, let's take a look at the goalkeeper position. Yan Junling, the goalkeeper who has been questioned, has shown significant improvement in recent games. He is no longer the goalkeeper who always stands on the goal line and waits, but has become more proactive and agile. Especially in the game against the Thai team, his many key saves helped the national football team achieve a reversal, and undoubtedly became the first choice in Jankovic's heart.
At the back, Jankovic insisted on a three-centre-back system. Jiang Guangtai, Zhu Chenjie and Zhang Linpeng will form the central defender trio, while the left and right wing-backs will be Liu Yang and Liu Binbin of the Taishan team respectively. Such a formation can be transformed into a back three on the offensive end and a back five on the defensive end.
In the midfield position, due to Wu Xi's declining form, Li Ke left the training team, and Wang Shangyuan and Wang Qiuming became the favorites to start. These two players have performed well for both club and country, and their partnership will be key in the national midfield.
On the forward line, Wu Lei is undoubtedly the unshakable main force. Lin Liangming is expected to replace the banned Wei Shihao, and in the position of starting center, Zhang Yuning's priority is obviously higher than Tan Long. Such an offensive combination indicates that the national football team will show a more active and changeable offensive in the game.
The starting lineup of the national football team against Oman may be: Yan Junling, Zhang Linpeng, Jiang Guangtai, Zhu Chenjie, Liu Yang, Liu Binbin, Wang Shangyuan, Wang Qiuming, Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning and Lin Liangming. Such a lineup not only shows the strength of the national football team, but also reflects Jankovic's tactical layout and trust in the players.
In this warm-up match, the national football team will face Oman, a formidable opponent. Although the Chinese team has not been able to win in the past meetings, they are expected to achieve "revenge" through excellent performances this time. Let's look forward to the wonderful performance of the national football team in this game, and also look forward to their better results in the upcoming Asian Cup.
