Tomorrow morning against Saudi Arabia's first furnace, the national football team wants to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth

At 1:00 a.m. Beijing time on October 13, the fourth round of the World Preliminary Round of 12, the national football team will challenge the Saudi team away at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium. In the face of the opponent who has won 3 games at present, the team's goal is still to "pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth" and continue to grab points. In the just announced starting list, the national football team put up a 532 defensive formation, Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning partnered as forwards, and Axon, who had been starting in the previous few games, was absent. The midfield was headed by Chi Zhongguo, Kim Kyung-do and Wu Xi, while the back line was wang Shenchao, Zhu Chenjie, Li Ang, Jiang Guangtai and Zhang Linpeng.

"Immediately after playing against Vietnam, we went from the UAE to Saudi Arabia. For the Saudi team, we have also strengthened some of the information we emphasized to the players before, and the communication with the players in the past few days is a lot, and I believe that the players are ready. Team coach Li Tie said at the pre-match press conference.

If the national football team wants to grab points, of course, it is not easy. In the first three rounds of this round of 12 matches, Saudi Arabia defeated Vietnam at home, Oman away and Japan at home. Combined with the game video and other information, the Coaching Team of the Chinese team has done an in-depth study of the technical and tactical characteristics of the Saudi team, and concluded that this team has players with outstanding individual ability on all lines, and the error rate is always controlled within a low range, and the whole team can maintain physical energy for most of the game to ensure a high rate of attack and defense conversion.

The opponent of the Chinese team in this game is not only the Saudi team on the field, but also the more than 50,000 home team fans and the local humid and hot weather. Moreover, in the previous eight home matches at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, the Saudi team achieved an unbeaten record of 7 wins and 1 draw, and the only one who achieved a draw in this field was Australia.

It is not easy to grab points, but for the Chinese team whose goal is to qualify for the World Cup, they are ready for "pulling teeth out of the tiger's mouth" in this game.
