At both ends of the national football team's offense and defense, Ivan has to put some effort into it

Reporter Chen Yong reports Due to the suspension of Xie Wenneng and Lin Liangming, the attack group of the national football team, which was originally in excellent condition, was slightly insufficient in the game against Indonesia, and it may be no problem to get together a set of starters, but the substitutes are somewhat thin, and Ivan is likely to boldly use newcomers. As for the defence, the problem is even greater, with Hu Hetao and Yang Zexiang likely to have to move around at left and right wing-backs.

Xie Wenneng and Lin Liangming are suspended, but as far as the starters are concerned, the midfielders of the national football team are still enough, on the side, there is Wang Yudong, who scored 8 goals and ranked second in the scorer list, Wei Shihao has also been in good form recently, with 5 goals and 2 assists, of which 3 of the 5 goals are headers.

In the center forward position, although Zhang Yuning only has 2 goals and 1 assist, he has been relatively stable recently, playing 12 league games in the new season, with an average of 40 minutes per game, which is much better than in March. In addition, Liu Chengyu has scored three goals in the last three rounds of the league.

In the front line, the national football team has hoarded 8 players, in addition to the above players, there are Lin Liangming, Wang Ziming, Liu Ruofan and Wu Lei, not counting Xie Wenneng. Among them, Wu Lei, who has just come back, is doubtful, if he can play, he should be a good substitute, but if he can't play, there is no way, in fact, during the round of 18, Wu Lei's playing time is very limited.

However, in the game against Indonesia, the midfield substitutes were a little nervous. At present, the players who have played more in the midfield of the national football team are Zhang Yuning, Wei Shihao, Xu Haoyang, Cao Yongjing and Wang Shangyuan, Wang Yudong and Serginho are the opportunities that have only been obtained in the recent round of 18, and Yang Mingyang, who has attracted much attention, has been selected for the first time. These players add up to just eight, while the starting positions in midfield are six.

Generally speaking, in a game, there are as few as 3 substitutions in the front court, and as many as 4 people, Ivan needs to continue to dig out suitable substitutes, first of all, the center, he needs to choose between Wang Ziming and Liu Chengyu, Liu Ruofan is likely to be a substitute on the side, and Huang Zhengyu is a substitute at the back. For now, all four of them have to be ready.

In the game with Bahrain, Xie Wenneng and Lin Liangming can come back, they have been in good form recently, Lin Liangming has 4 goals and 2 assists in the new season, and 3 goals and 2 assists in the past 5 rounds of the Super League; Xie Wenneng also has 4 goals and 2 assists, and 3 goals and 2 assists in the last 7 rounds. At that time, Ivan will have to do subtraction.

The problem of the national football defense line is relatively more problematic, first of all, Jiang Shenglong is absent due to injury, which is a big loss for the national football team, you know, in addition to defense, he also plays an important role in the set-piece attack.

Fortunately, there are enough personnel in the central defender position, Zhu Chenjie previously fractured the bridge of his nose, but his recent league appearance has been stable; Jiang Guangtai has played two rounds of the Chinese Super League since his comeback; Han Pengfei has also played two games recently.

But in the fullback position, in addition to Hu Hetao's good performance, Li Lei and Yang Zexiang's appearances are unstable, they are the main candidates who can be qualified as fullbacks in the current list, Wu Shaocong and Wang Shiqin play more left central defenders of the three central defenders.

Given the current situation, Hu Hetao and Yang Zexiang may need to move around the left and right wing-backs, and both of them can play. This season, Hu Hetao's main position is right wingback, and Yang Zexiang has played at right wing-back and left full-back after coming off the bench. On the whole, perhaps Hu Hetao will lock in the right wing-back, and Li Lei and Yang Zexiang will compete or share the left wing-back.

The game against Indonesia must be won, and the attack must be guaranteed, but only if the defense line is stabilized first.
