In the first round of the group stage of the Asian Cup, the national football team drew 0-0 with Tajikistan, and at the same time missed the good start, it also did not grasp the initiative to qualify.
In view of the importance of this game, CCTV5 will also broadcast the game live at 7:30 pm on January 17, if nothing else, Song Kai will still supervise the game on the spot, so in this game, Jankovic will definitely learn from the experience of the first round of the game, and put out the strongest lineup in this game, so let's predict the starting lineup of this game.
Yan Junling in the previous warm-up game, as well as the first game of the Asian Cup, was extremely calm and remarkable, as long as there are no injury problems, Yan Junling will still be the starting goalkeeper of the national football team, after all, this game is quite important, and Yan Junling and Jiang Guangtai and Zhu Chenjie have formed a tacit understanding.
On the back line, Jankovic will still line up the starting 4 defenders against Tajikistan, Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Guangtai are still double central defenders, Zhang Linpeng and Liu Yang are on both sides, after all, this back line was very stable in the last game, especially Zhu Chenjie and Liu Yang, in the post-game scoring link, became the two players with the highest scores in this game, as for Jiang Shenglong, Wu Shaocong, Li Lei and other players, they can only be on standby.
The midfield will usher in a big adjustment, although Wu Xi recovered from injury and began to participate in joint training, but for the sake of insurance, it is difficult for Wu Xi to get the opportunity to start, Wang Qiuming and Dai Weijun, who performed poorly in the last game, will also be abandoned, as for the highly anticipated Wei Shihao, he has not participated in the team's joint training due to injury, so in this game, Jankovic will let Wang Shangyuan partner Xu Xin form a double back, Xie Pengfei and Liu Binbin will serve as left and right wingers, and if nothing else, Xu Xin will become the new midfield core of the national football team.
On the forward line, Wu Lei and Tan Long will be both withdrawn, Wu Lei has no midfield support, he has no ability to fight alone, and he is almost invisible in the first game, as for the 35-year-old Tan Long, whether it is fighting for the top or grabbing points, his performance in the first game is extremely average, so whether it is Wu Lei or Tan Long, he will be replaced by the younger Zhang Yuning and Lin Liangming.
