The Qatar 2024 Asian Cup will be held in Qatar from January 12 to February 10.
The competition is divided into 6 groups:
The Chinese men's football team is divided into Group A: the world ranking of the teams in Group A and the Asian ranking:
The specific time of each game is:
13 January 22:30 vs: Tajikistan, 17 January 19:30 vs: Lebanon, 22 January 23:00 vs: Qatar.
The national football team 2024 Qatar Asian Cup participation list (number is the jersey number):
1-Yan Junling, 2-Jiang Guangtai, 3-Zhu Chenjie, 4-Li Lei, 5-Zhang Linpeng, 6-Wang Shangyuan, 7-Wu Lei, 8-Xu Xin, 9-Zhang Yuning, 10-Xie Pengfei, 11-Tan Long, 12-Jian Tao, 13-Xu Haofeng, 14-Wang Dalei, 15-Wu Xi, 16-Gao Tianyi, 17-Chen Pu, 18-Dai Weijun, 19-Liu Yang, 20-Wei Shihao, 21-Liu Binbin, 22-Wu Shaocong, 23-Lin Liangming, 24-Jiang Shenglong, 25-Liu Dianzuo, 26-Wang Qiuming.
In addition to the defending champion Qatar team of the Asian Cup, the Tajikistan team and the Lebanese team are not bad, and they belong to the teams that rely on confrontation and foot skills, which are the more difficult types of the national football team to deal with. In the previous warm-up matches, the national football team lost 0:2 to Oman, lost to Hong Kong 1:2, and then defeated the UAE Gulf Heroes Club 6:2. Judging from the arrangement of Yankovic's lineup in these warm-up games, the most suitable personnel match has still not been found for the back line of the national football team, and Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong have been used in the central defender position, Wu Shaocong and Jiang Guangtai have partnered, and the effect is not too good, so in the Asian Cup, the head coach may trust some experienced veterans more. As for the striker, in view of Zhang Yuning's outstanding performance, he is likely to replace Tan Long and appear in the starting position, in addition to Wu Lei and Wei Shihao, will continue to be reused, as long as they are not injured, they are the absolute main force of the national football team. The midfield position is the weakest point of this national football team, under the premise that Wu Xi's injury situation is still unclear, newcomers to the national football team such as Gao Tianyi, Dai Weijun and Wang Qiuming, plus the additional Xu Xin, are likely to be reused.
Now let's analyze the situation in the opening game:
In history, the national football team has played Tajikistan 5 times, with 4 wins and 1 draw, and the specific record is as follows:
1997.5.11 World Cup Qualifiers Tajikistan 0:1 China.
1997.6.8 World Cup Qualifiers China 0:0 Tajikistan.
1998.12.8 Asian Games China 3:1 Tajikistan.
2010.6.26 Warm-up match China 4:0 Tajikistan.
2019.6.11 Warm-up match China 1:0 Tajikistan.
From the point of view of the relationship between victory and defeat, the national football team has an advantage, but as time goes by, the current national football team may not be able to compare with that time, so each opponent in Group A cannot be taken lightly, in order to achieve the victory of each game, the head coach may use different formations when dealing with different opponents.
In the match against Tajikistan and Lebanon, because these two teams are relatively weaker and of the same level, they must strive for victory, so the offensive formation of 4231 must be used.
In the match with Qatar, because this team is stronger than the national football team and is the host, it must adopt the tactics of maintaining a draw and winning the game, so it is necessary to adopt a 442 offensive and defensive balanced formation.
