As the World Cup qualifier is getting closer to the life and death battle with Thailand, the national football team announced a new training list on the 22nd. Forward Alan returned, Zhang Yuling was out of luck due to injury, and six newcomers including Baihoramu and Xu Haoyang were selected.
The most innovative national football training list in recent years will face the most severe test in the world preliminary.
Full of new ideas
Compared with the Singapore team in the previous two preliminaries, the national team's lineup has changed a lot against Thailand and South Korea this time, which is due to Ivankovich's further understanding of Chinese players.
After all, on the last international match day, Ivankovic led the team to train for ten days with full calculation after taking office. Although the list at that time was innovative, it was inseparable from stability.

Even so, the Chinese football team still lost the game against Singapore in the away game, and the match was 2-2. The situation of qualifying for the World Cup qualifier became grim instantly.
At the beginning of his term of office, Ivankovic revealed that 2 to 3 new people were recruited for each training session. A little unexpected is that there are as many as 6 new players in this issue of the national football team, in addition to Alan, Exxon and other old faces returning, so the overall change is quite large. Of course, to a large extent, it is the injury, illness and suspension.
By new people?
Among the six newcomers, the most innovative one is Baihoramu. The 21-year-old has previously represented the Chinese Olympic team in the Olympic preliminaries. He spared no effort to fight and missed several good opportunities, which left a deep impression on the outside world. In Xinpengcheng, Shenzhen this season, Bayeram played 7 times, but has not scored yet.

Among the other newcomers, the third general of Shanghai Shenhua is also worthy of attention. After the midfielder Xu Haoyang missed the last training list, he was finally selected in this issue. In the league, Yang Zexiang, a full back in good condition, and Bao Yaxiong, the goalkeeper, were also called up by Ivankovic.
On the defensive side, Huang Zhengyu, a 27 year old middle back, and Han Pengfei, a 31 year old central defender, were selected into the national football team for the first time. The former was a regular visitor of national teams at all levels. However, the backcourt of the national football team is relatively stable at present, so the role of the two players is to expand the thickness of the backcourt more.
In the front line, because Wu Lei is suspended and Zhang Yuling is regretful for his injury, Alan, who has returned, must shoulder the heavy responsibility of the front line.
The other main candidates are likely to be selected from Fernando and Exxon. In the absence of a fulcrum, the young general Baihoram and the returning Xie Weijun may have some opportunities. As soon as Li Yuan leaves the suspended position, Xu Haoyang may fill it.

Must win
Since most of the newcomers are from Shanghai Shenhua, Shandong Taishan and other Chinese super teams, whether it is the usual training guarantee or the accumulated experience in hard battles, they will provide support for the life and death battle in the World Preliminaries.
Against Thailand, the only goal of the national football team is to win. Since the national football team drew with Singapore at 2:2 away from home, and Thailand drew with South Korea at 1:1 away from home, the national football team has no way out - winning will be able to advance to the last 18 matches one round ahead of time, and if it loses, it will basically say goodbye to the US Canada Mexico World Cup. If you draw, you should hope to draw with South Korea in the last round away game.
Although the goal is clear, it is not easy for the national football team to win, especially under the suspension of Wu Lei and the injury of Zhang Yuling, the national football front line will face reorganization. Fernando has been injured before and needs to be recovered.
Fortunately, Alan and Wei Shihao have been in good shape recently. The former has scored three goals and contributed one assists in the last two league matches, while the latter has also scored three goals in the last two league matches. Their performance will greatly determine the result of the game.
