One of the highlights of the tournament was the remarkable decision: why was a young, inexperienced player, Hu Huotao, placed in a key position as a wingback in the lineup? Looking back at the scene in the World Cup, Hu Hu Tao's poor performance led to the national soccer team to lose valuable goals. In front of the strong Japanese team, coach Ivan's decision has undoubtedly laid a hidden danger for the national soccer team. Meanwhile, why were experienced players like Huang Zhengyu and Wang Zhenao left out in the cold? This choice of Ivan's has left people perplexed.
Another question that sparked heated debate was why Ivan didn't choose Prince Ming, a goal-scoring winger, when Zhang Yuning was unable to start for some reason. Wang Ziming's performances in the Chinese Super League have proved his goal-scoring talent and creativity. Not only that, he quickly showed excellent adaptability and game insight after coming on as a substitute in the last match against Bahrain. In light of Zhang Yuning's absence, Ivan should perhaps consider playing Wang Ziming in the center forward position instead of Wei Shihao, who is good at organizing attacks, in that role.
