Before the game, national football coach Li Tie said that the goal of this game is to do better than the first game. Compared with the Oman team, the Chinese team only adjusted the position of the center in the starting lineup. In the opening stage of the defensive pressing selection, the Chinese team did not directly enter the opponent’s penalty area as in the first game. 30 meters for high position pressure, but chose to recover some of the formation in a timely manner, starting from near the midfield. In this way, it can prevent the Australian team from using the middle and long passes to directly find behind the Chinese team’s defense line. After all, the Chinese team is not dominant in the ability of one-on-one in a local area.
Faced with the adjustment of the Chinese team, the Australian team did not rush and continued to invest a lot of troops on the offensive end. Especially when the team was in possession of the ball, the coach Arnold asked two full-backs to move forward, while the two wingers vacated their positions and moved in close to the center. This allows the Australian team to have four or five players in the frontcourt to compress the Chinese team’s defense. This trick worked quickly. In the 13th minute, Luo Guofu was intercepted in the backcourt. Fortunately, Jiang Guangtai made up the defense in time and shoveled the ball out of the baseline. Unfortunately, this scene did not wake up the Chinese team, or in other words, under the overall pressure of the Australian team, the Chinese team did not have enough ability to compete with it. Instead, the defense line retreated too deep. Wu Lei and Luo Guofu made the two starters. ‘S wide players are exhausted. Among them, Luo Guofu’s left side became the main attacking corridor of the Australian team. In the 37th minute of the first half, Luo Guofu could not keep up with Boyle. .
What is gratifying is that the Chinese team did not “defeat” like the first round, but continued to look for opportunities under unfavorable situations in the second half of the game. In the 70th minute, the Chinese team won a penalty kick. This was due to the set kick taken by Xu Xin. The Australian midfielder Jie Ge took off to compete for the top and accidentally touched the ball. After being judged by VAR and the referee on duty, he called the penalty. Penalty kick. Wu Lei, who is about to celebrate his 30th birthday on the 19th of this month, helped the team tie the score. This is Wu Lei’s fourth goal after entering the top 12, and it is also his personal in the current world preliminaries. With the 12th goal scored for the national football team, Wu Lei tied with Su Maozhen, the fifth-ranked scorer in the history of the national football team, and scored 27 goals for the Chinese team like the latter. It is worth mentioning that in the second half of the game, the Chinese team also let Wu Lei and Alan switch positions at an appropriate time. A Wu Lei who is closer to the penalty area is undoubtedly the more threatening Wu Lei.
Although the game failed to win, but in terms of the game process, this is the best 90 minutes since the start of the top 12 of the national football team. Wu Lei said after the game: “When we fell behind, we let go. Everyone was very involved and enjoyed the game.
