the battle of the asian qualifiers for the world cup is about to start, and the chinese men's football team will face unprecedented challenges and expectations. in this journey that concerns national honor and fans' expectations, the chinese men's football team will face three very realistic and urgent problems. these three problems not only test the technical and tactical level of the national football team, but also pose a severe challenge to the wisdom and adjustment ability of head coach ivankovic.

so, what are the three problems that are plaguing the chinese men's football team? let me briefly analyze them below.

1. the dilemma of midfield support: lack of creativity and efficiency

on the football field, the midfield is known as the "engine" of the team, and its importance is self-evident. however, the chinese men's football team currently seems to be unable to do its best in terms of midfield support. without world-class midfield commanders like oscar and vargas, the national football team seems quite awkward in offensive organization. although wu lei, alan, zhang yuning and other forwards have their own characteristics, their performance is often limited by the lack of midfield support. although lin liangming, fernando and others have certain breakthrough capabilities, they are alone and it is difficult for them to continue to tear open the opponent's defense for the team.

faced with this dilemma, ivankovic needs to tap the potential of existing players and make up for the lack of midfield support through tactical adjustments. on the one hand, the connection between the wing and the center can be strengthened, and offensive opportunities can be created by using fast passing and running positions; on the other hand, the tacit understanding and trust between players can be cultivated, and the overall smoothness of coordination can be improved, so that every player can play their best on the field. at the same time, young players such as xu haoyang should be given more trust and opportunities. their vitality and creativity may bring unexpected surprises to the team.

2. concerns about midfield defense: the choice between a stable defense and a balanced offense and defense

defense is crucial in football matches, and midfield defense is even more important. if the chinese national football team has problems in midfield defense, it will not only affect the number of goals conceded by the team, but will also directly affect the team's offensive and defensive balance. ivankovic's hesitation in choosing a formation reflects his caution and consideration on this issue. whether it is a 442 diamond position or a parallel position, the key lies in how to make targeted deployments based on the characteristics of the opponent to ensure the stability and efficiency of the midfield defense. in the selection of defensive midfielders, ivankovic faces a difficult choice. players such as wang shangyuan, huang zhengyu, and wang haijian have their own strengths, but who can stand up at a critical moment and become a barrier to the team's defense? this requires the coaching staff to find the answer through a lot of training and actual combat exercises. at the same time, for different opponents, ivankovic should flexibly adjust the midfield configuration to ensure the stability of the defense and the fluency of the offense, so as to achieve a perfect balance between offense and defense.

3. difficulty in boosting morale: a test of psychological adjustment and team cohesion

as we all know, during the high-intensity game cycle, players are under tremendous pressure both physically and mentally. the intensive schedule of the chinese super league and the fa cup, coupled with the additional burden of the afc champions league play-offs, has exhausted the national team players physically and mentally. physical fatigue can be relieved by rest and recovery, but mental fatigue and "war weariness" are more difficult to deal with. in addition, the ups and downs of the results in the league and cup competitions may also cause fluctuations in the players' psychology and affect their performance in the national team competitions. therefore, ivankovic must attach great importance to the psychological adjustment of the players and the construction of team cohesion during the preparation process. on the one hand, through psychological counseling and team building activities, help players release pressure and adjust their mentality; on the other hand, strengthen communication and cooperation between players to enhance the overall combat effectiveness of the team. at the same time, the coaching staff should also pay close attention to the physical and mental state of the players, arrange training and game plans reasonably, and ensure that the players can meet every game in the best condition.

the world cup qualifiers are both a challenge and an opportunity for the chinese men's football team. in the face of the above three practical problems, ivankovic needs to come up with a solution as soon as possible. if these three problems cannot be solved, the prospects of the chinese men's football team in the world cup qualifiers will be worrying. i hope ivan can bring something different to the chinese men's football team through tactical innovation, psychological adjustment and the improvement of team cohesion.
