Thai sports media "Siam Athletic" released a striking news, because the national football team's number one striker Wu Lei is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, will miss the Thai team away to challenge the Chinese team on June 6! "Siam Athletic" believes that this is a rare opportunity, the Thai team is very hopeful to win the precious three points away from home, so as to grasp the initiative to qualify.
"Siam Athletic" analyzed in the report that Wu Lei's absence will have a great impact on the offensive end of the Chinese team. His goalscoring ability and control of the game are what the Chinese team relies on. Thailand, on the other hand, can use this opportunity to strengthen their defence while creating a threat with quick counter-attacks.
For the Thai team, Wu Lei's absence has undoubtedly eased the pressure on them on the defensive end. Thailand could focus more on their tactical set-up rather than spending a lot of energy on limiting the performance of the efficient goalscorer. The players of the Thai team also said that they will give it their all to seize this rare opportunity. They know that the match against China will be a tough battle, but they also believe in their own quality and team spirit.
Thailand are aiming to get three points away from home, which is not only a direct source of points in the group stage, but also the key to gaining the initiative to qualify. A win against a Chinese team without Wu Lei would put Thailand in a strong position in the group standings, and they could well beat the national team to finish second in the group.
In this tournament, Wu Lei has scored 5 goals in 4 games, showing his power in attack. However, due to the restrictions of the rules, the suspension due to the accumulation of yellow cards prevented him from playing against Thailand. This is a huge blow for the Chinese team, as Wu Lei is a key figure in the team's attacking line.
"Siam Athletic" believes that the Thai team and the Chinese team have a long history of confrontation, and the two sides have played each other many times, winning and losing each other. However, judging from the head-to-head record in recent years, the strength of the Thai team is gradually rising, and the gap with the Chinese team is gradually narrowing. This time, in the face of the Chinese team in the absence of Wu Lei, the Thai team is full of confidence and looks forward to a victory away from home. Wu Lei's suspension undoubtedly brought opportunities to the Thai team, but the Chinese team will not give up easily. The game of football is never a one-man battle, but a collaboration of the whole team. The rest of the Chinese squad will also step up and take on more responsibility.
