On the evening of November 14, Beijing time, in the 5th round of the top 18, the Chinese men's football team played against Bahrain. In less than 20 minutes after the game, the national football team encountered unfavorable conditions in a row.
Compared with the 2-1 home defeat to Indonesia in the last round, the national football team has changed 3 starters. Zhu Chenjie, Yang Zexiang and Lin Liangming replaced the injured Jiang Guangtai, Gao Zhunyi and the suspended Xie Wenneng. And because Jiang Guangtai, Fernando, Alain and others were injured. In this game, the national football team released a lineup of "0 naturalized" players starting after 1 year.
Just 11 minutes into the game, the national football team had a great chance. Bahrain's long pass was cleared by Zhu Chenjie. The ball ghost made a miracle to give Zhang Yuning a great chance to go single. Unfortunately, Zhang Yuning's push shot was not good in terms of power or angle, and was confiscated by Bahrain goalkeeper Light Lut Farazon.
Judging from the slow-motion retrospect, Zhang Yuning was not offside at all. And the opening miss of such a preemptive opportunity is indeed a sigh. In the last round of the home match with Indonesia, it was Zhang Yuning who received a long pass from Gao Zhunyi and scored a single goal to help the national football team lead 2-0 for a while.
And just 4 minutes later, the national football team almost lost the goal. Bahrain went straight to the stopper, and Wang Dalei actually leaked the ball out of the empty goal. Fortunately, Li Lei desperately blocked and successfully saved the danger! However, because of this all-out rescue, Li Lei was accidentally injured and was forced to retire after a few minutes. In the 19th minute, Hu Hetao came on as a substitute.
What is embarrassing is that the national football team list only brought Yang Zexiang, Li Lei and Hu Hetao in total, with Li Lei's injury, the current lineup of the national football team, there is no orthodox fullback substitute.
Just 1 minute later, the national football team suffered another misfortune. Baihelam is yellow against his opponent, and he has already carried one yellow card, and he will be suspended for the next game against Japan. At present, Baihelam is Ivan's very important young shooter, and his failure to appear in the next round will undoubtedly make Ivan's troop formation more restricted.
