The 2026 World Cup will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, and FIFA will reform the World Cup to expand to 48 teams to participate in this World Cup, so as to enhance the influence of the World Cup in various countries and maximize the benefits. The number of qualifying places in Asia has been increased from 4.5 to 8.5. In Asian football, in addition to the six first-class teams of Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Australia, Japan and South Korea, second-rate teams such as Iraq, the United Arab Emirates and Uzbekistan are bound to qualify for the promotion places, and the pressure on the national football team is even greater.

The Chinese men's football team was drawn as a second-pot team and placed in Group C, along with South Korea, Thailand and Singapore. In this group, the strength of the South Korean team is significantly higher than the three opponents in the same group more than one notch, and after four rounds, the South Korean team has an unbeaten record of 3 wins and 1 draw, basically obtaining a place to advance to the round of 18 in advance. The remaining one group qualification spot will be between the national football team and the Thai team.

The national football team has 7 points after four rounds in Group C, ranking 2nd in the group, Thailand has a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses, ranking 3rd in the group with 4 points, and Singapore has only 1 point and was eliminated in advance. For the Chinese men's football team, the battle between China and Thailand on June 6 is a decisive battle, and the national football team can only advance to advance if it wins, and a draw or loss will be devastating and will inevitably be eliminated.

In the first four rounds of the round of 36 in the Asian region of the World Preliminaries, the Chinese men's football team scored 8 goals and conceded 7 goals, defeating Thailand 2-1 in the first round, losing 0-3 to South Korea in the second round, drawing 2-2 with Singapore in the third round, and defeating Singapore 4-1 in the fourth round. Among the 8 goals of the national football team, Wu Lei scored 5 goals and 1 assist, directly participated in 6 goals, and was the top scorer of the national football team in the world preliminaries. In the world preliminaries, he tied with Son Xingmin for 2nd place.

Unfavorable to the Chinese men's football team, Wu Lei received a yellow card in the second leg of the match with Singapore, and the cumulative number of yellow cards reached the suspension standard, and he will miss the key game against the Thai team at home in the 5th round, which is a huge blow to Ivankovic, because at present, in Chinese football, there is no player who can replace Wu Lei, in the Chinese Super League, Wu Lei played 13 games, scored 14 goals and had 4 assists, is the top scorer of the Chinese Super League, and the nearest domestic player to Wu Lei is Wei Shihao, who scored 6 goals.

In addition to Wu Lei, the main center of the national football team, Zhang Yuning, the naturalized winger Fernando, and Li Lei, will be absent due to injury. Zhang Yuning has to rest for 4 weeks in Beijing Guoan because of a ligament injury in his left knee, and Li Lei will be out for 2 months due to a torn ligament. In addition, Fernando's right vastus lateralis muscle, biceps femoris injury will be sidelined, Lin Liangming will be out for 2 weeks due to injury, and Exxon's physical condition is not enough to sustain him in the national football team.

For Ivankovic, the priority is to find a striker, because against Thailand, China must win to advance, and there is no way back. Fortunately, in recent rounds of the Chinese Super League, the most outstanding domestic player is Wei Shihao, in the last round of the Chinese Super League, Wei Shihao scored twice, and has scored 6 goals in the Chinese Super League this season, second only to Wu Lei Domestic players. In addition, the form of naturalized player Alan has rebounded, and he also scored two goals in the last round of the Chinese Super League, and is expected to become a wonder soldier in the hands of Ivan.

China has lost 2 games against Thailand in the past, all at home, so fans are very worried that the national football team will not be able to defeat the Thai team at home, and it will change if they advance to the round of 18. Ivankovic is a famous Croatian coach and a well-known Asian player, and now has more than 2 months to inspect the players and prepare for the battle between China and Thailand, so I believe that the national football team can overcome difficulties at home, defeat Thailand, refuse to be upset, and advance to the round of 18.
