At 8 o'clock in the evening on March 26, Beijing time, that is, this evening, the Chinese men's football team will sit at home and play against Singapore, a Southeast Asian team that was not defeated in the previous round. I have to say that in the last game, the national football team was actually scored twice in a row by the Singapore team when they were leading 2:0, which is really disgusting to watch. This time back at home against Singapore, if the national football team can't win, then the newly appointed Ivankovic may be ready to roll up and leave like his predecessor.
According to the usual practice, the national football team still announced the squad before the game. In the goalkeeper position, Wang Dalei, who has a high voice, finally replaced Yan Junling into the starting list. On the back line, the captain Zhang Linpeng, who was in a mood after the last game, sat on the bench, and it was Gao Zhunyi who replaced him as the right fullback of the national football team. The other 3 defenders are still Jiang Guangtai, Zhu Chenjie and Liu Yang. Jiang Guangtai and Zhu Chen are outstanding as double central defenders, and Liu Yang and Gao Zhunyi are left and right fullbacks.
In the midfield, the main midfielder responsible for intercepting and tackling in the midfield is Li Yuanyi, and the double midfield combination with Li Yuanyi has become the previous frustrated warrior Gao Tianyi. In front of the double back waist, Xie Pengfei and naturalized ace Fernando attacked together on the left and the right to form a double core of attack in the front court, echoing each other and forming a joint force, so as to achieve the effect of flying with both wings.
On the forward line, Zhang Yuning is injured and continues to appear in the starting position of the national football team, and the striker combination with him is still the first local striker Wu Lei.
Compared with the last away game against Singapore, Ivan made 3 adjustments, that is, he removed Yan Junling, Zhang Linpeng, and Wang Shangyuan in one go. And Ivankovic's three adjustments have also sparked a heated discussion among Chinese fans and media. There is no big objection from the outside world to replace Yan Junling with Wang Dalei and Zhang Linpeng with Gao Zhunyi, and it is believed that Ivankovic is very wise and a very correct choice to make adjustments. Because whether it is Yan Junling or Zhang Linpeng, their recent form is not in the best condition, and they should give up the main position to Wang Dalei and Gao Zhunyi, who are in better shape.
However, Ivan's replacement of Wang Shangyuan with Gao Tianyi as the starter was widely questioned by the outside world, because whether it was personal ability or national team experience, Gao Tianyi was obviously inferior to Wang Shangyuan. Moreover, Wang Shangyuan's last game against Singapore, the data performance was not bad, not only did his duty in the single back position, but also contributed on the offensive end, assisting Wu Lei to score the opening goal. Wang Shangyuan, who has both offense and defense, was unexpectedly snubbed and replaced by Gao Tianyi, who is generally capable, Ivankovic's operation of using people is really incomprehensible.
