In the fourth round of the top 18 of the Asian region of the World Preliminaries, the Chinese men's football team's home match against Indonesia can be described as a life-and-death battle, which is related to the suspense of whether the national football team can win the first victory and retain the qualification. As the coach of the national football team, Ivankovic is also under great pressure, after all, if he loses again, his position may not be guaranteed, and this game is only allowed to win and not lose. Chinese Super League star player Wu Lei is really open for the national football team, he has returned to the team after two shots closed, and will be substituted in this matchup.
The starting lineup for this game has been announced, Gao Zhunyi returned to start after recovering from injury, Bai Helamu played the start, and the midfield was led by Wei Shihao. Considering that Wu Lei is injured, it is still very reasonable not to start, but the opponent has 9 naturalized players, which is enough for the national football team to parry for a while.
Although this game is quite important for the national football team, its popularity does not seem to be so high, 3 hours before the start of the game, we saw on the Internet that the tickets were not sold out, and the 880 yuan and 1080 yuan files were still left, and they could not be sold out at all. At the same time, CCTV Sports did not arrange a live broadcast of this game, which is not the first time. The national football team that was placed in Group C lost all three games with 0 points, and the opponent Indonesia has 3 points, and if they lose again, the hope of the national football team fighting for the top four in the group will become slim.
At the same time, Fernando withdrew from the national team due to injury, Wu Lei, Gao Zhunyi and other players are injured, and the current state is not at a full competitive level, which will be a big test for the national football team. However, compared with the previous three opponents, Indonesia's strength is still weaker, and the pressure on the national football team at this level will not be so great; Coupled with the support of the home fans, the national football team is not all at a disadvantage, and there is still a possibility of winning.
