In this week's World Qualifier, our national soccer team will face a fierce match against Bahrain, and this event is undoubtedly the key battle for them to turn the tide. A win against Bahrain in this matchup would dramatically increase the team's chances of turning the tables; conversely, an unfortunate loss would make the road to qualifying for the extra tournament incredibly difficult. Therefore, the score of the match is crucial, and the eyes of many fans are focused on this, expecting the Chinese men's soccer team to create a good result.
However, confidence and support on the field of play are only external factors, and victory in a soccer match ultimately depends on strength. Regrettably, the national soccer team suffered another frame of pressure in this game. It is reported that Wu Lei and Jiang Guangtai were injured during the pre-match training and it is unclear whether they will be able to come back in time for the match. According to a team reporter, they only trained independently in the Dubai hotel and did not synchronize their training with the team, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the game.
Despite Wu Lei and Jiang Guangtai's strong belief in fighting for their country, injuries are unavoidable. Everyone can understand and accept this.
With the lack of a reliable midfielder in the team's framework, Li Yuanyi's injury is even more worrying. It is reported that he will undergo a full examination by the team doctors to determine whether he is eligible to play.
If Wu Lei and Jiang Guangtai are unable to play against Bahrain, the national football team may arrange a double striker combination of Baihe Lamu and Zhang Yuning, which coincides with the 4-4-2 formation promoted by the coaches, and in which they are confident. Zhu Chenjie's performance in the center back position is crucial, and his partnership with Jiang Shenglong is stable and tacit understanding.
However, filling the vacancy in the middle position is a challenge. After all, there aren't many candidates with this responsibility. Sources say that Huang Zhengyu will have a chance to fill this vacancy. Meanwhile, Jiang Shenglong also mentioned the possibility of a defense position in the middle, as well as the possibility of Wei Zhen playing at the back. They have already made similar attempts in previous games, which is a no-brainer. Lin Liangming might be able to make up for the absence of Xie Wen, and hopefully he will be able to utilize his breakthrough advantage. After all, the opponent's style of play is similar to this, and the key to the battle will be needlepoint.
