The national football team, which is preparing for the Asian Cup, ushered in its second warm-up match tonight, and the opponent is the Oman team. The two sides fought fiercely for 90 minutes, and the national football team conceded 2 goals in 19 minutes, and finally lost 0-2 to the opponent, ending the last A-level match of 2023 with a loss. It is worth noting that the national football team has won 4 of its 11 A-level matches in 2023.
Due to the closed nature of the game, the national football team did not reveal the starting lineup. From the Oman Football Association's game**, the starting lineup of the national football team is likely to be: Yan Junling, Zhang Linpeng, Jiang Shenglong, Zhu Chenjie, Liu Yang, Liu Binbin, Dai Weijun, Wang Shangyuan, Wei Shihao, Wu Lei and Tan Long. There may be some discrepancies in the specific list, but this starting lineup can be said to be the strongest team that the national football team can send at present.
Both sides were scoreless at half-time and the game ended 0-0. However, the second half started abruptly, and Oman built up a lead just four minutes into the game thanks to Allawi's goal. 19 minutes later, in the 68th minute, the national football defense broke through again, and Ghassani helped Oman score another goal. In the following more than 20 minutes, the national football team failed to pull back even a single goal, and finally lost 0-2 to the opponent.
In the last game, when they defeated Saudi Arabia's No. 1 team 5-1, Wu Lei, Lin Liangming, Zhang Yuning and other scorers all scored, but the national football front line was once again worrisome.
After this game, the national football team ended the A-level competition in 2023, and the national football team achieved a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in 11 A-level matches, which also shows the current strength and state of the national football team.
On New Year's Day, the national football team ushered in the first A-level match of 2024, a warm-up match with the Hong Kong team, which will also be closed. According to the plan, the national football team will have a warm-up match later, but the opponent has not yet been determined.
