The offensive end of the national football team has improved slightly, and the midfield and backfield have encountered three major position problems!

Reporter Chen Yong reports In the past few rounds of the Chinese Super League, the frontcourt attackers who have been selected for the national football team are in good shape, or score goals in a row, or are in stable condition, but there are big problems with the international players in the midfield, although from the perspective of the national football team's impact on the World Cup, the last two World Preliminary Round of 18 matches can be risky, but there is a premise for this adventure, that is, their defense must be stable.

In the goalkeeper position, Yan Junling suffered an injury in early May and missed the last two rounds of the league; Fortunately, Wang Dalei, who was criticized by the outside world before, gradually regained his form, and performed well in the last Super League; In addition, Liu Dianzuo, who was previously unselected for the national football list, has been in great shape in Rongcheng this season, with 6 clean sheets in 12 rounds of league games, and Rongcheng, who has only conceded 7 goals, has also left the championship opponent behind in defense, and it is not surprising to return to the national team.

In the central defender position, Zhu Chenjie has played 9 consecutive games after his comeback in the 4th round of the Chinese Super League, although he has not yet recovered to his best condition, but relatively speaking, the impact of the injury is not too great.

Harbour's Jiang Guangtai made a comeback in the 12th round of the Chinese Super League, but only one round of the Chinese Super League and one FA Cup, and he may have to work hard in training if he wants to recover his form.

Rongcheng's Han Pengfei played the full game against Australia in the round of 18 in March, but he sprained the inside of his left ankle in the fourth round of the Chinese Super League against Taishan and has never been able to play since his return.

Guoan's Wu Shaocong and Shenhua's Jiang Shenglong have both been plagued by injuries, of which Jiang Shenglong's injury may have an impact - on May 15, Shenhua issued an official announcement, saying that during the recent recovery training, Jiang Shenglong suddenly felt unwell, and after the MRI and CT enhancement examination of Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital, the imaging diagnosis was subcapsular hemorrhage in the left kidney, perirenal exudation, and effusion. The medical team and experts preliminarily judged that it was caused by an external force in the past competition, and it was necessary to recuperate for two weeks and then do a re-examination.

This season, Jiang Shenglong played 11 times for Shenhua, all of which were starters and played the whole game. In this way, Jiang Shenglong will not be able to play in this round of the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup in the middle of next week, and his position will be replaced by Eddie. In fact, Jiang Shenglong has been plagued by injuries many times this season, including a fracture of the frontal process of the right maxilla, fever, etc., but he will grit his teeth and play if he can persevere.

If Jiang Shenglong is unable to participate in the national football training camp, then Yuan Mincheng of Rongcheng may have a chance. This season, he has been the team's first-choice centre-back, making 10 appearances, all starts, scoring two goals and providing one assist. However, Rongcheng has adopted a three-center-back system this season, and the national football team has a four-back system, which will be a certain test.

Of course, the real problem in the defence is the full-backs, especially on the right. Shenhua's Yang Zexiang did not play systematically, Taishan's Gao Zhunyi and Harbour's Wang Zhenao have been on the injury list.

In the left-back position, Guoan's Li Lei did not appear as a substitute in 5 consecutive rounds, but fortunately, Hu Hetao in Rongcheng performed well.

It is worth mentioning that at present, many strong teams in China adopt a three-center-back system, and one of Shenhua's two fullbacks is a Hong Kong foot and the other is a foreign aid; Rongcheng and Guoan are more likely to use attacking players as wing-backs. On the whole, if needed, Ivan may requisition Liu Yang of Taishan and Tomorrow of the harbor.

In addition to the defensive line, the hidden dangers in the midfield are also not small.

In the league, the international attackers have performed well, theoretically, the two forwards, the left and right wingers and the forward midfield, the five positions of the player can be played by pure attackers, in addition, the remaining two games of the national football team must be won, Ivan can take a certain risk.

But from a balanced point of view, versatile midfielders are also a must. Li Yuanyi played steadily, but Ivan didn't like to use him very much; Xu Haoyang is a young player that Ivan values, but he is not the main force in the Shenhua team at present, but fortunately, he has been given opportunities in recent games.

The troublesome position is still the back waist, as the main back waist, Wang Shangyuan has been very stable recently, but apart from him, the national football team has no more suitable back candidate. Huang Zhengyu was not favored by Ivan, Wang Haijian, who had played more before, only played 1 substitute in the last 5 rounds of the Chinese Super League.

InBev's 25-year-old defender Liao Jintao has received a lot of attention recently, and the call for being selected for the national football team is very high, but the use of newcomers in key games and key positions is a big test of Ivan's ability to resist pressure.

Xu Xin has been a solid player at Harbour recently, and he also provided two assists in the 11th round of the Chinese Super League, so he may be an option.
