There is still about a month and a half to go, and the fifth round of the round of 36 of the World Preliminary Championship is about to start, and there is not much time left for the team and Ivankovic to prepare. Especially for Ivankovic, who has not even come to China because of his visa.
However, Ivankovic is not idle, but plans to fly to Qatar to watch the upcoming U23 Asian Cup in the near future, take a good look at this group of national Olympic team players, and prepare for next month's national team selection. It is guessed that several players of this national Olympic team were noticed by Ivankovic, otherwise he himself would not have chosen to watch the game at this time.
In the fifth round of the game, the national football team will face the Thai team at the Olympic Sports Center Stadium in Shenyang, for the 17th opponent in Asia, fans also have different views, some people believe that with the strength of the Thai team today and the past historical records of the two sides, it is not to be afraid, as long as the national football team plays its own game and plays its own level, there should be no problem in winning the Thai team. However, some people believe that the strength of the Thai team has made significant progress and improvement in recent years with the success of youth training and the naturalization of some players.
However, no matter what, what should be faced is always to be faced, or the old saying, if even the Thai team is afraid and even the Thai team can't win, the national football team really doesn't want to mention the World Cup. In fact, the most worrying question now is who Ivankovic will use to take on the team's offensive responsibility after Wu Lei's suspension, at least he has to send a strong point on the field and play around this strong point. There is also the position of the starting goalkeeper, after returning to the starting lineup in the last round of the game, Wang Dalei's performance is obvious to all, but due to the strength of the opponent, perhaps the real test of Wang Dalei is the two games with Thailand and South Korea in June, as long as he can ensure that he can continue to perform and play better on the field, Wang Dalei not only continues to play as the team's starting goalkeeper, but even hopes to become the new captain of the national football team after Wu Lei's suspension.
Facing Thailand, ranked 17th in Asia, at home, opportunities and challenges are in front of us, and whether we can grasp it depends on the performance of the players
