At 8 o'clock tonight, the national football team officially kicked off the life-and-death battle with the Thai team at home. Due to Gao Zhunyi's appendicitis surgery and missed the game, the national football coach Ivankovic used Wang Zhenao, a young defender from the Harbour team.
Previously, many fans called on Ivankovic to recruit players to replace Gao Zhunyi's position in the national team. But Ivan insisted on going his own way, did not recruit any newcomers, and resolutely used Wang Zhenao as the main right back of the national football team, which also laid the groundwork for the national football team's draw at home.
In the 19th minute of the first half, the Thai team launched an offensive on the wing, but Wang Zhenao, who was supposed to defend the right wing, did not appear in this position, and his loss of position made central defender Jiang Guangtai have to leave his defensive area and rush to fill the position. This made it difficult for Jiang Guangtai to respond effectively to the cross of the Thai player, the ball passed through the defense of the national football player, and the Thai team's Subachu inserted into the penalty area and broke the gate guarded by Wang Dalei with a header.
I have to say that Wang Zhenao, as a fullback, has to bear most of the responsibility for the goal conceded, his youth and jerkiness are exposed, and the yellow card and loss of position have become the direct reason for the national football team to concede the goal.
And this conceded goal also made the two players of the Harbour team, Wang Zhenao and Jiang Guangtai, the focus of discussion among fans after the game. Had either of the two been more effective at stopping Thailand's attack on the right flank, perhaps the outcome of the match would have been completely different.
Since then, the Thai team has repeatedly scored in the penalty area of the national football team, and Wang Dalei made a hard save in front of the goal to avoid further expansion of the score, which also made him the busiest player in the first half of the national football team.
The goal conceded by the national football team also reminded many fans of the first two games of the group stage of the World Preliminaries, when Liu Binbin, who played right fullback, was controversial because of his unfavorable defense. And this night, Wang Dalei may once again become what some fans call "shooting on target", but it is obvious that he is just taking the blame for some national football players who have performed poorly.
Failing to beat Thailand at home to get all three points made the Chinese team's group qualification situation very passive. In the final round, the national football team must take points from the South Korean team away from home in order to win the second place in the group and successfully advance to the top 18 of the Asian zone of the World Preliminaries.
Considering the impact of the "Son Joon-ho incident", the South Korean team will definitely not let go of the Chinese team easily, if the opponent loses by a large score, and the Thai team beats the Singapore team at home, then the national football team will not be able to qualify from the group. As a result, not only coach Ivankovic will be ironclad, but the four years of preparation and waiting for the Football Association and the national football team will be wasted again......
