National Football Top 18 Final List: The 8-man front line seems to be "spectacular", what should the defense line do?

Reporter Chen Yong reports The list of 27 players in the last two games of the top 18 of the national football team in June was announced this morning (the new list of 27 players of the national football team: Wu Lei returned, Yang Mingyang was selected for the first time, and 7 people from Guoan were listed), and the lineup of as many as 8 forwards was "spectacular", but in the defensive line, especially the position of fullback, the national football team is facing a lot of hidden dangers.

In the last round of 18 rounds, the national football team recruited 5 young newcomers, namely defenders Liu Haofan, Wang Shiqin, midfielder Xu Bin, and forwards Wang Yudong and Liu Chengyu. However, Liu Haofan, Wang Shiqin and Xu Bin did not enter the top 18 list of the national football team, but returned to the U22 national team to participate in the Yancheng Four Nations Tournament. Although Liu Chengyu traveled with the team, he did not make it into the 23-man squad for the away games against Saudi Arabia and the home game against Australia. Wang Yudong was not included in the 23-man squad against Saudi Arabia, but was included in the 23-man squad against Australia and eventually came off the bench.

The list of the national football team, Liu Chengyu and Wang Shiqin were selected again, which also means that they are getting closer and closer to the debut of the national team, of course, from another aspect, the competition for the position of the striker is too fierce, and the back line is relatively cautious in using newcomers, and they must also maintain enough patience.

The biggest highlight of this issue of the list is the two newcomers, among which striker Liu Ruofan has previously been selected for the national football selection team, participated in the East Asian Cup list for the first time selected for the Ivankovic national team, this season he played 9 games in Shanghai SIPG 6 games, an average of 43 minutes per game, scored 2 goals, the 26-year-old is in the year of play, and now he is gradually cashing in his talent.

What is really worth paying attention to is the naturalized player Yang Mingyang, just before the announcement of the national team list, Yang Mingyang completed the membership conversion. The defensive midfielder, who started from the Chinese League and walked step by step to Chengdu Rongcheng and stood firmly in the main defensive midfield, has started 10 of 12 games for Chengdu Rongcheng this season, and his recent form has been particularly good, scoring in consecutive games in the 11th and 12th rounds of the league.

For the relatively weak midfield position of the national football team, his selection may allow the national football team to gain immediate combat power, and he is not yet 30 years old when he is also the most young and strong, judging from his growth trajectory, his psychological stability can also be guaranteed.

For the national football team, the biggest regret is naturally that Jiang Shenglong was absent due to injury. Before Jiang Shenglong was injured, he was actually the best player in the national football team, Zhu Chenjie has been wearing a mask to play, Jiang Guangtai has just returned from injury, including Han Pengfei has just returned, and even in Rongcheng has not yet sat firmly in the main force.

The national football team still has some room for manoeuvre in the central defender position, but there are obvious problems in the full-back position. 5 of the 9 defenders are pure central defenders, Wang Shiqin has changed between the left central defender and the left wingback of the three central defenders this season, and there are only three players who really fully serve as fullbacks, namely Hu Hetao, Li Lei and Yang Zexiang, Hu Hetao is a player who is currently in very good shape, but Li Lei has only played 8 minutes since the game on April 6, and Yang Zexiang's playing time is also very unstable, in addition, although Gao Zhunyi entered the game list in the FA Cup, but finally failed to play, Obviously not good at playing yet.

Fortunately, Li Lei is more experienced, and there is no problem with Yang Zexiang and the team's run-in, Hu Hetao can be left or right - the fullback position can only be said to be barely supported, but it can't withstand any "wind and waves".
