In the two consecutive warm-up matches this afternoon and evening, the national football team defeated Shenzhen 3-0 and Zhejiang 2-1 to usher in two consecutive wins. However, according to reporter Xiao Zhao, Wei Shihao and Guo Tianyu did not play, which means that these two players may face elimination and miss the trip of the national football team to West Asia.
As we all know, the two round of 12 matches between the national football team and Oman and Australia in November will continue to be played in Sharjah, UAE. At present, in addition to Wu Lei, who plays for Espanyol, the national football team has a total of 31 players. Considering that the national football team on this trip to West Asia only needs to stay overseas for less than two weeks, Li Tie will streamline the squad, and it is possible for 5-6 international players to return to the club early to prepare for the next second stage of the Chinese Super League.
In today's two warm-up matches, the national football team sent two different sets of squads. In the battle with the deep foot, the starting lineup arranged by Li Tie was closer to the main force in the actual battle, Zhang Yuning, Alan, Luo Guofu and other main players all appeared, and the three also scored a goal for the national football team. In the match against Zhejiang, Barton and Wu Xinghan made contributions to the national football team respectively, helping the team to achieve a 10-game winning streak in the domestic warm-up match.
It is reported that in these two warm-up matches, most of the international players have been given the opportunity to play, and the playing time is not less than 60 minutes. However, a very small number of players, including Wei Shihao and Guo Tianyu, did not play, and it is possible that they will not be able to participate in the trip of the national football team to West Asia.
Although he shined in the first stage of the Chinese Super League this season, scoring 8 goals in 14 games, Guo Tianyu did not get any opportunities to appear in the previous 4 rounds of 12. Considering that there are players such as Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning, Axon, Alan and Luo Guofu in the national football front, it is also difficult for Guo Tianyu to get opportunities in the two games against Oman and Australia.
Wei Shihao, as a rare commando on the team's flank, also could not gain Li Tie's trust. In the first four rounds of the Round of 12, although Wei Shihao had two substitute appearances, the other two games were missed the big list. In the full-back position, Li Tie prefers players such as Wu Xinghan and Liu Binbin, who have excellent running ability and defensive ability.
According to the previous arrangement, the national football team will depart for Sharjah in the early morning of November 7, while Oman has arrived at the match venue today. In the first four rounds of the round of 12, the national football team scored 3 points from 1 win and 3 losses, ranking fifth in the group; Oman had 2 wins and 2 losses and 6 points, and the direct competition in this game was very critical.
