Ivankovic, 1 important decision will be made!

The national football team's big victory over Singapore not only swept away the previous slump, but also completely reversed its own fate.

A battle of focus, regardless of victory or defeat, the performance of players and the arrangement of tactics are always an unavoidable topic. And a 4:1 victory does not say too much, on the contrary, it also exposes some fatal drawbacks.

1. Employing people, Ivankovic is very "persuaded"

When facing Singapore away, Wu Lei, Yan Junling, and Zhang Linpeng were criticized, although Wu Lei scored two goals, but missed penalties and wasted too many good opportunities; Yan Junling was mediocre, and the opponent's limited few shots on goal were a substantial threat to the goal; and Zhang Linpeng not only made a major mistake, but also aroused the anger of the fans after the game with his "retirement" remarks.

And the two teams play again, which is also a battle for the real name of the national football team, and the fans don't want these people to play before the game, at least not in the starters.

However, the particularity of the forward position made Ivan helpless, and there was really no one available except Wu Lei. However, Yan Junling and Zhang Linpeng, Ivankovic did not let them enter the starting line according to everyone's wishes. Wang Dalei and Gao Zhunyi, who have a high voice, replaced the two of them as the starting right-back and goalkeeper.

And these two people did not fail in their mission and made great contributions to the victory of the national football team.

For example, Wang Dalei won a full house when he cleared the siege with an attack outside the penalty area! According to Yan Junling's characteristics, there is a high probability that he will not attack, but once he sits still, the opponent will form a single knife. For Gao Zhunyi, the active scramble in the penalty area won a penalty for the national football team. There was also a header in the penalty area, but unfortunately Zhang Yuning faced the empty goal and flew away bizarrely. and the pass that Dong Lu exclaimed as De Bruyne-style in the second half is the epitome of his wonderful performance throughout the game.

Therefore, Ivankovic, who "listened to persuasion", made the right bet this time.

Second, the formation, Ivankovic is very "stubborn"

The midfield diamond position, this tactic has basically been eliminated. The last time this tactic was popular was 15 years ago, that is, around 2006, like the German team at that time, including Shandong Luneng Taishan led by Tubakovic in its heyday, but the former has Frings and the latter has Zhou Haibin (Cui Peng), all of which are good midfielders with good offense and defense. Of course, there are also the current Chinese Super League, such as Shanghai Shenhua is also used, but Shenhua's single back is Amadou, which should be the best back in the Super League.

But who is the back of our national football team? Wang Shangyuan, Li Yuanyi, and Gao Tianyi. They've done well in the league, but they're not at the point where they dominate in midfield.

There are too many truths, we don't need to talk about them, and we can see it very clearly in combination with the details of the game.

Before that penalty, that is, when the two teams were 1:1, the national football team actually did not play very well. Gao Tianyi's single back is very tangled. When attacking, he didn't dare to press too high, because once the opponent counterattacked, he would easily pass himself and face the national football team's backline, even two central defenders. Even when the two teams form a stalemate, Gao Tianyi will be very careful in choosing his position, such as assisting his teammates to defend on the side, but once the opponent moves through a wide range, then the other side will form a one-on-one or more and less situation, after all, Gao Tianyi cannot pass it for the first time.

What's more fatal is that when Gao Tianyi was holding the ball, Singapore took advantage of this, and many people stepped forward to wrap it up in an instant, forcing Gao Tianyi to block the ball, and even the embarrassing situation of being cut off and continuing to counterattack.

But when the national football team's penalty kick was scored, Ivankovic replaced Wang Shangyuan, and the formation was completely different. Wei Shihao became the left defender, Li Yuanyi came to the right defender, Wang Shangyuan and Gao Tianyi formed a double barrier in the midfield, and the scene was immediately different! A few minutes later, because Li Yuan received a red card, he originally felt that the number of national football players was not at a disadvantage, and he would be extremely passive, but he did not expect it to become a turning point.

Wei Shihao pulled to the position of the right forward, Wu Lei retreated and stood in the position of the left forward, Zhang Yuning single arrow, Gao Tianyi and Wang Shangyuan remained unchanged. After a clear defensive counterattack, the responsibilities of Gao Tianyi and Wang Shangyuan are also clearer. Due to the assistance of his teammates, Gao Tianyi can boldly steal and assist forward, because Wang Shangyuan is behind to assist in defense, and the third goal scored by Wu Lei is this kind of Gao Tianyi actively fighting and sending assists.

Of course, there are many other wonderful scenes, I believe everyone has already seen them, so we won't explain them one by one.

In short, we don't blame the diamond-shaped midfielder for his bad position, but simply comment that the single back is indeed not suitable for the current national football team, and we don't have such a good midfielder. The opponent is just a team ranked 156th in the world, so it can easily take advantage of this weakness to hit us, what if we change to Thailand?

Whether it is the famous commentator Dong Lu or the famous Li Yi, they have said frankly more than once in the game that "the single back is definitely not suitable for the current national football team"! If it were not for the timely response in the last 20 minutes and the double back waist, then the national football team would not necessarily be this result.

There are still more than two months to go before the next crucial qualifying battle, and this time requires Ivankovic to reflect on whether to continue to insist on his "442 diamond midfield" position in the face of the current Chinese men's football team. Or maybe he went along with the name and made a big decision: to abandon the diamond-shaped midfield that he has excelled at for many years and switch to a more practical double midfielder.
