In the 7th round of the Chinese Super League, except for the match between Haigang and Meizhou Hakka, which was postponed due to weather conditions, the rest of the games have all ended. Although the season has just begun, the competition for the championship and relegation is already quite fierce, Shenhua and Chengdu are only 1 point apart, and Meizhou Hakka and Changchun Yatai in the relegation zone are also mired in the quagmire. The league is going on in an orderly way, and preparations are going on at the national team level. With the fifth round of 36 match against Thailand on June 6 getting closer, Ivankovic has returned to China to watch the match between Guoan and Qingdao West Coast.
In the game that Ivan watched, there happened to be international players and players who were inspected performed well, which made Ivan quite satisfied, and even solved the problem that had been bothering him, that is, Wu Lei was suspended against the Thai team, who to use to form the striker. In this match between Guoan and Qingdao West Coast, Guoan won 4-1, and Ivan was very satisfied with the four players, namely Zhang Yuning, Li Ke, Li Lei and Alan. These four people are very helpful to the team's offense and defense, especially Zhang Yuning and Alain, who have helped Guoan and Qingdao a lot.
First of all, Li Lei was the best on the field, with excellent performances at both offensive and defensive ends, and delivered an assist. At the same time, Li Ke's form has also ushered in a resurgence, performing well at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and scoring a goal, which Ivan is very willing to see, because he still has a lot of trust in naturalized players. The fiery state of Zhang Yuning and Alan will solve the trouble of Wu Lei's failure to participate in the battle of Thailand, and there is a high probability that the forward combination of Zhang Yuning and Alan will be sent.
In the match between Guoan and Qingdao West Coast, Zhang Yuning got a lot of shots on goal, and once hit the woodwork but did not score. Similarly, Alain's side also relied on his individual ability to get a number of good scoring opportunities, and did not score due to the weakness of his own side, but both received relatively high individual ratings. Guoan coach Suarez's transformation of the team has also made Zhang Yuning's state recover faster and his playing style more advanced. Suarez made the team's offensive rhythm in the front court faster, so that Zhang Yuning's ball grabbing, making balls, and playing the ball at a higher rate were also higher, which was also a good help for the national football team.
Alain's running position may be worse than Wu Lei's, and there is not much difference in the shooting skills of the two, but Alain's foot skills and ability to get rid of it as a Brazilian player are stronger than Wu Lei's, which means that if Alan partners with Zhang Yuning, he may play a different style from Wu Lei, which is something Ivan needs to consider. In any case, the combination of Zhang Yuning and Alan can at least solve the problem of Wu Lei's temporary absence, coupled with Li Ke's state recovery, the possibility of the national football team advancing to the top 18 has also greatly increased.
