With Wu Lei out due to suspension, national soccer manager Ivan and the coaching staff are watching the league closely for the match against Thailand
World Qualifying Round (WQR)
Preparation for the 36-team tournament. Though the week-long double-header fixtures are coming up next week, the training schedule is approaching and the coaching staff may not wait for the performances of the 13th and 14th rounds of the tournament to select the national team players. As a result, Ivan is likely to finalize his preferred best XI after Round 12 and there is a high probability that the national squad will be announced after this round of the tournament.
In the center forward position, Zhang Yuning is currently the first choice, while in the shadow forward position, Wei Shihao is expected to play an important role due to Wu Lei's absence. Although Wei Shihao usually plays more on the wing, he is no stranger to the shadow striker position. Another alternative figure is Alan, but he is more inclined to defense and may not start. Ivan and the coaching staff will be focusing on the Round 12 matches, with special attention on Changchun Yatai and Beijing Guoan, as well as Tan Long and Beijing Guoan's homegrown attacking players. Also of interest are other local players such as Fang Hao, Xie Wenneng, Ye Chugui and right back Deng Hanwen, who all scored in the last round.
