At 20 o'clock in the evening, the high-profile life-and-death battle between the Chinese men's football team and the Thai men's football team will be broadcast live on CCTV5 in front of the national audience. As a key battle in the battle for second place in the group, the Chinese men's football team faces a difficult challenge. In the absence of the two core players Li Yuanyi and Wu Lei due to injury, can the "remnant" national football team overcome many difficulties, win at home and successfully advance to the second round of the group stage?
As mentioned in the article, the South Korean men's football team, which is currently the first in the group, has basically locked in the qualification, and the rest of the competition is concentrated between the Chinese men's football team and the Thai men's football team. This life-and-death battle related to the fate of the national football team can be described as full of gunsmoke and suspense. On the one hand, the Chinese men's football team has indeed suffered a lot of blows in terms of personnel, and the two core players Li Yuanyi and Wu Lei are unable to play, which undoubtedly greatly weakens the overall strength and offensive firepower of the national football team. But on the other hand, the recent good performance of the Chinese football team in the league also makes people full of confidence in the life and death battle of the national football team.
As the core of the midfield, Li Yuanyi, with his excellent organizational skills and on-the-spot decision-making, has always been an indispensable and important pillar of the national football team. His outstanding performances on the club pitch have also led head coach Ivankovic to attach great importance to his status in the national team. It's a pity that in the crucial battle with the Thai team, Li Yuanyi was unable to play due to a red card suspension, which undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the overall strength of the national football team. However, in the last round of the league, Li Yuanyi just returned from injury, which brought a huge boost to the team, made an important contribution to the offensive and defensive ends of the Shandong Taishan team, and scored a goal to help the team win 4-1. His comeback undoubtedly adds a lot of hope to the upcoming battle of life and death.
Speaking of Wu Lei, as the top scorer of the national football team, his recent form is also hot. Not only did he score seven goals in the Chinese Super League, but he also scored four goals in two games against Singapore. It can be said that without Wu Lei, an important scoring point, the offensive strength of the national football team is bound to be greatly reduced. However, in the absence of Li Yuanyi and Wu Lei, several other players mentioned in the article, such as naturalized player Fernando, center forward Zhang Yuning and wind-chasing teenager Wei Shihao, have also performed well in the league recently, which undoubtedly gives head coach Ivankovic some gratifying options.
In general, in the face of the dilemma of heavy casualties, whether the national football team can win this key battle and win the qualification for the second place in the group is undoubtedly a big test. But we also see that with the continuous rise and performance of other players, perhaps the national football team is still expected to rely on collective strength to defeat the Thai team and continue to advance to the round of 18. As fans, we certainly hope that the national football team can defeat Thailand in this battle of life and death and win glory for the motherland. I believe that as long as the players show 100% fighting spirit and determination, defy difficulties and overcome obstacles, they will definitely be able to win at home and advance to the second round of the group stage!
