Watching the games of the national football team, the mood is always like a roller coaster, rushing to the sky for a while, and falling to the bottom for a while. This Asian Cup journey is no exception. But to be honest, the prospect of qualifying for the national football team this time made me surprisingly a little optimisticConsidering that the best four groups of third place can all qualifyThis threshold doesn't sound so difficult to cross.
First of all, let's talk about the defense of the national football team. With the layout of three central defenders, although many people think this is a conservative strategy, look at the first two games,These three centre-backs did a good job of protecting the midfield。Although the opponent's long-range shot was almost heart-wrenching, we were able to hold it. Especially those key one-on-one defenses, it can be seen that the hard work and strength of the national football players are still there.
However, when we switch between attack and defence, we sometimes have only seven people on the back, which is really worrying. The game in Tajikistan exposed this problemThey were better tactical and overall fluent than we were, which made us a little struggling to limit the opponent's movements.
Let's talk about our offense, Wei Shihao's return from injury is simply a shot in the arm for the national football team. This young man's personal ability is really strong, he can dribble the ball and dare to break throughIn the midfield advancement, it can bring a qualitative leap to the national football team。And Wu Lei, as a striker, his off-ball running and receiving ability are excellent, if there can be a player like Wei Shihao to help the tandem, Wu Lei may break the goal drought.
But should the team stick to a three-centre-back layout all the time? This is a question worth discussing. In situations where the opponent is not strong, this defensive strategy may be able to keep a clean sheet, but if you want to get better results in the game, you may need more offensive creativity and flexibility.
Finally, talking about this match of the national football team, Qatar has already locked up the top spot in the group and is likely to rotate the lineup, which is definitely good news for us. We are facing a situation where a win would lock up second place in the group, and a draw would have a good chance of progressing. This requires the coaching staff and players of the national football team to show their best form, but also a little luck
After Wei Shihao's comeback, the national football team will have more options on the offensive end, and it will also make people look forward to it more. At the same time, don't forget about Xie Pengfei, who also had an eye-catching performance in Tajikistan. Whether Xie Pengfei and Wei Shihao can form an effective succession is also the key to whether the national football team can achieve good results in the next games.
Therefore, watching the national football game, although the mood fluctuates, I am full of anticipation every time. This time, we have the opportunity to see the national football team go further in the Asian Cup. I just hope they can seize the opportunity and let us, the ordinary fans, have more moments of cheering and celebrating.
