The national team head coach, Ivankovic, is facing a big test to adjust his squad for the upcoming matches against Singapore and Thailand men's soccer teams. Originally full of confidence, Wu Lei was absent due to the accumulation of two yellow cards, which made his absence like a bolt from the blue. Looking back on Wu Lei's heroic performance in the preliminaries, five goals are enough to prove that he is vital to the national football team. Now, Wu Lei's departure from the game has forced Ivankovic to quickly find a replacement. Opinions are divided, with some favoring the powerhouse naturalized player Alan, whose recent first goal of the season in the league seems to confirm his extraordinary strength. In his prime, Allan won the UEFA Cup Golden Boot, and his strength is beyond doubt.
Meanwhile, Li Yuanyi will miss the showdown with Thailand due to his red card in the last round of the World Qualifier. This absence will undoubtedly add to the already fragile midfield defense. Li Yuanyi's performance in both offense and defense has been perfect, and it is not easy to find a suitable replacement, which will be a great test for Ivankovic's ability to arrange his troops. Although the match is still a month away, Ivankovic has to prepare for it in advance.
Next, let's boldly predict the starting lineup for this life-and-death battle: ① goalkeeper: Wang Dalei; ② backline: Liu Yang, Jiang Guangtai, Jiang Shenglong, Gao Junyi; ③ midfielder: Gao Tianyi, Wang Shangyuan, Wei Shihao, Fei Nando; ④ striker: Zhang Yuning, Alan. Do you agree with such a lineup configuration? Let's all look forward to the Chinese men's soccer team to beat the Thai men's soccer team at home with a bang and advance to the Top 18!
