Reporter Chen Yong reports A few days ago, Ivankovic's photo of checking the data of 42-year-old goalkeeper Sui Weijie on his mobile phone while watching the Chinese Super League sparked heated discussions, but the veteran coach of the national football team soon had a new focus, because the attack group of the national football team under his command has ushered in a big explosion in recent rounds, and the all-round hot state may even make him fall into happy troubles.
In the last international break, Wang Yudong became a rising star of the national football team. After the return of the national football team, from the 3rd round of the Chinese Super League to the 12th round of the Chinese Super League, Wang Yudong scored 8 goals in 10 rounds. In the game with the Taishan team, Wang Yudong's goal in the 3rd minute even won the cheers of the Taishan fans, this cheer may have Taishan fans complaining about the unfavorable mood of the Taishan team's youth, but after Wang Yudong was substituted, the Taishan fans gave him applause again, which is enough to show that the influence of his outstanding performance has exceeded the boundaries of the team.
In this match between Taishan and Zhejiang, Xie Wenneng also scored consecutive goals, and in the past 6 rounds of the league, Xie Wenneng has scored 3 goals and 2 assists.
Xie Wenneng is a player that Ivankovic has always reused, and Taishan fans also said after the game that Wang Yudong on the left, Xie Wenneng on the right, and the twin stars of the national football team performed really well. But the problem is that the two national football players Lin Liangming and Wei Shihao, who are also mainly on the side, are also in extremely hot form.
Wei Shihao has also scored in consecutive games, he has scored four goals and provided one assist in the last five league games, and this round is even more successful, and interestingly, two of the four goals have been scored by headers. Lin Liangming is also in excellent form, scoring two goals and providing two assists in his last four games. In the national football team, the positions of Wei Shihao and Lin Liangming have changed a lot, and many times they will actually play the position of striker.
Comparatively, the two centre-forwards have not been in particularly good form of late. Zhang Yuning scored in the 7th and 8th rounds of the Chinese Super League and had 1 assist, and has not scored in the last 4 rounds. In the center forward position, Liu Chengyu, who is less than 19 years old of Shanghai Shenhua, also scored consecutive goals, and his condition was very good, and he gradually walked out of the shadow of missing a penalty in the U20 Asian Cup at the beginning of the year.
Serginho has also been in excellent form, scoring three goals and providing two assists in the last six rounds after a run-in period, and this round is also a passing achievement. The technical characteristics of this naturalized player are precisely the No. 10 players that the national football team is very lacking, and they are actually the key to improving the offensive ability of the national football team.
How do you choose 4 to 5 starters from the above 8 players? This problem is not only a headache for Ivankovic, but I am afraid that the fans will not be able to make a choice. In addition, Hou Yongyong and Cao Yongjing, two attacking players of the national football team, also have good performances or stable appearances.
In the last two round of 18 matches in June, winning is the only choice for the national football team, and the outstanding performance and stable appearance of the attacking players naturally strengthened the confidence of the national football team. But another question arises, the Chinese Super League will end on May 17, the FA Cup will end on May 21, and the round of 18 away match with Indonesia is June 5, with a full two-week break in between, how can the national football players maintain their hot form in the league until the round of 18?
This is not a problem that can be solved by playing a warm-up game, once the players come out of the game, it is not easy to get back into the game, normally speaking, it is a common practice to play between the league and the national football team for 5 to 6 days, which is also conducive to the continuation of the form. Of course, whether the decision of the league to make way for the national football team is right or wrong may be known in the round of 18 in June.
