After Li Tie took charge of the national team, there has been some controversy, which is the case in the use of Axon and Alan, and some fortune-making Axon forceD Alan to play the main force so that many fans can't understand it. Although the national football team and Syria lost the goal by hitting the crossbar, Axon proved the value of his existence with practical actions through Zhang Xizhe's goal.
Before the match between the national football team and the Syrian team, due to the loss of the Jordan team, the national football team had advanced to the round of 12 in advance, and the national football team without too much pressure played very relaxed in the first half, shooting 8-0 completely occupied the advantage, and Zhang Xizhe's goal took the lead for the national football team.
In fact, through this goal, you can find out why Li Tie wants to reuse Axon, before the goal was originally the Syrian team's backcourt players holding the ball to advance, but because Axon's forward rush was forced to pass the ball back, Axon quickly threw himself into the second wave of pressing, the Syrian defender kicked at Wu Lei's feet in a panic, Wu Lei calmly passed the ball to Zhang Xizhe who was running diagonally, and zhang Xizhe broke the deadlock with a kick.
It was Zhang Xizhe who scored the goal and Wu Lei who assisted, but we can see that it was Axon who first blocked Syria's advance and eventually lost the ball. Compared with Esson, who killed fours in the middle of the game, Axon's goal scoring ability has dropped a lot, but his investment in the front court is very high.
Even if you are a striker in a game of equal strength, you will not get a lot of shooting opportunities, but you are responsible for building the team's defense from the opponent's half in many cases, compared to the more agile Alain, Axon is now more unpretentious, but in the team's offensive and defensive transition, Axon is more active than Alain, and Axon's ability to sit in the center and carry the ball behind his back is not comparable to Alain.
Although the national football team was equalized in the second half, but the goal of Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning sealed the victory for the national football team, although it could not score but could not ignore the role of Axon's game, a striker who could create offensive difficulties for the opponent at the first time was trustworthy, if it were not for the opening shot that hit the crossbar, Axon would have had the opportunity to score for the national football team first.
