Reporter Chen Yong reports On March 7th, the top 18 national football team home game against Australia began to sell tickets, the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center can sell 67,000 tickets, just a few minutes, tickets on various platforms were sold out, although there may be a small number of remaining tickets sold in the future, but most fans will certainly not be able to grab tickets.

Judging from the current situation, the "strongest home stadium in the history of the national football team" is expected to arrive, and the number of fans plus relevant staff is expected to reach 70,000. Watching the national football team in such an atmosphere is the first time for many fans and media people, and it is also the same for the national football players.

Warm up with Kuwait and keep the game feeling alive

The match between the national football team and Australia is hard to find, and the home stadium of the largest number of fans in history is coming, and the national football team in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is naturally clear.

You have to fight for breath, which means playing two games in March, the first of which is the away game against Saudi Arabia. With the arrival of Li Yuanyi, the team currently has 24 players, including 3 goalkeepers and 21 players in other positions, and the national football team can smoothly carry out 11-man confrontation drills.

According to the current arrangement, on the 15th, the national football team will play a warm-up match with the Kuwait team, this warm-up match is of great significance, most of the international players played in the second round of the Chinese Super League a week ago, the national football team and Saudi Arabia The game is in the early morning of the 21st Beijing time, between which there is an interval of about two and a half weeks, and a warm-up match is played five days before the game with Saudi Arabia, which can better adjust the state of the national football team and maintain the feeling of the game.

The enthusiasm of fans for the battle between China and Australia is very important because the national football team has performed well before, and there is a possibility of reaching the top four in the group, and there is even the possibility of becoming the second in the group. Having expectations for results will naturally motivate the fans.

A comprehensive evaluation of the strength of the national football team, in this group is actually in the middle and lower reaches, although Saudi Arabia and Australia have poor previous records, but the overall strength is still significantly better than the national football team. In this case, fans should actually have a normal heart.

For the national football team, the away game with Saudi Arabia is naturally to go all out to get points, but the national football team does not need to bear the pressure, as long as it shows the fighting attitude when playing with Indonesia and Bahrain, including the determination and confidence shown in the game at that time, the process and result of the game will naturally satisfy most fans.

Away against Saudi Arabia, do newcomers have a chance?

At present, one of the problems faced by the national football team is that 9 international players from Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai Port have not been able to return to the team because of the task of playing in the AFC Champions League elite league, including the two main central defenders of the national football team, Jiang Guangtai and Jiang Shenglong, as well as Xu Haoyang and Yang Zexiang, who have been reused in the national football team before. If Serginho can go through all the formalities smoothly, his run-in with the team could also be a problem.

There are 24 players in the national football team participating in training, and the configuration of the midfield and the front court is still relatively perfect, and the national football team has no obstacles in the transition of attack and defense, offensive drills and team confrontation.

There are 5 newcomers in the national football team, namely center Liu Chengyu, left winger Wang Yudong, back Xu Bin, center back Liu Haofan, and "fullback central defender" Wang Shiqin. In recent training, Wang Yudong scored in the group confrontation and showed good form.

This newspaper's previous analysis said that the national football team's away game against Saudi Arabia, for these five newcomers, Wang Yudong is definitely the most likely to be reused, because his fast speed and strong breakthrough ability are very prominent, and the front-court side players, young age and lack of experience have less impact, but the advantages of momentum and speed are easier to be recognized. Of course, the national football team's configuration on the left side is very sufficient, Lin Liangming and Wei Shihao are used to this position, and Xie Wenneng also performed well when he played a cameo as a left midfielder in the Sino-Japanese battle.

Ivankovic is a coach who dares to reuse young people, in a sense, he has initially completed the replacement of the old and the new in the national football team, and the existing main lineup of Bai Helamu and Hu Hetao are all excavated and reused by him, and Wang Haijian has also been recognized by him. In addition, Ivankovic is also willing to give young people more room for error, Hu Hetao and Wang Haijian have made mistakes, but he still chooses to trust. From this point of view, it is not uncommon for Wang Yudong to become a surprise soldier.

Comparatively speaking, it is slightly more difficult for Xu Bin in the back position, Liu Haofan at center back and Liu Chengyu at center forward to be reused, and Wang Shiqin cannot rule out the possibility of getting a chance because he can play the position of left back.
