on september 2, beijing time, the chinese national football team arrived in japan to prepare for the first match of the asian qualifiers for the world cup. recently, wang xiaorui, a reporter from the sports weekly, revealed the content of the 10-day training camp of the chinese national football team in dalian. wang xiaorui said that the offensive system of the chinese national football team will not be centered on wu lei, and positional defense will be placed first.

wang xiaorui said that the strategy of the chinese national football team against japan is to counterattack with a big kick. the scene may be very ugly, but it is also a helpless move of the chinese national football team. after all, the gap in strength between the two teams is clearly visible. through the last few games of the asian 36 qualifying matches of the world cup, after the opponents in the top 18 were fully upgraded, ivankovic finally understood that he could not fight against the stone with an egg. after partially giving up the passing and receiving cooperation, the offensive system of the chinese national football team will not take wu lei as the offensive core. it will not be like in shanghai haigang, where oscar and vargas pass a straight pass for him. there is no way for the chinese national football team to appear when playing against the japanese team. in contrast, in a simple and direct offensive system, wu lei and alan's grabbing points and zhang yuning's high ball role are particularly important. in fact, they are only a link in the completion of the chinese national football team's offense. the functions and roles carried by individuals in the offensive system will be greatly reduced.

wu lei does not have the offensive core position of the national football team, which is obviously different from the expectations of shanghai media and many fans. just a few days ago, liu wenchao, a reporter for shanghai port, wrote an article to discuss how the national football team should activate wu lei.

the reporter who follows shanghai haigang said that from the 28 goals wu lei scored for shanghai haigang in the 2024 season, some experience can be extracted to summarize the tactical routines and choices that are most suitable for wu lei. in fact, in the previous two games against singapore, ivankovic's use of wu lei had achieved good results. zhang yuning's fulcrum role and fernando's personal ability are all means of involving the opponent's defensive strength. a wu lei facing the goal and with space to advance is definitely the most threatening wu lei. in addition, throughout wu lei's career over the years, he has more than one header goal every season. although he is not tall, he has outstanding physical fitness and ability to grab points. these are wu lei's value in front of the goal.

to be fair, it is normal that the chinese national football team will not give wu lei a core position in the match against japan or even in the entire round of 18. because wu lei's greatest characteristics are running without the ball and shooting in front of the goal, but in the national team, there is really no one who can give him a comfortable final pass. so, in this case, wu lei's running without the ball is actually useless.

we can refer to the situation of the chinese national football team in the last match of the asian 36 world cup qualifiers against south korea. at that time, wu lei came on as a substitute in the second half and had almost no performance after he came on the court. it can even be said that he was in a state of invisibility. in sharp contrast, the naturalized player fernando, who started the game, did not have many opportunities to get the ball, but as long as fernando got the ball, whether he made a breakthrough with the ball or other options, he could create threats and killing intent. many times, korean players were afraid of his breakthrough ability and could only use fouls to prevent fernando from dribbling and breaking through. this won the chinese national football team some breathing time and many precious opportunities for set pieces in the front field.

in other words, when facing a very strong opponent like japan, the chinese national football team needs players like fernando and alan who have the ability to take the ball and dribble. in the asian qualifiers for the world cup, wei shihao, who was not selected for the national football team, was able to play a greater role and exert a greater influence in the game than wu lei.

of course, we are not here to belittle wu lei, but to make a rational analysis based on facts. wu lei has played a crucial role in many games of the national football team and is also a player who often scores goals in the national football team. however, in the top 18 games, wu lei did not have a core position in the national football team, which was a relief for him who was questioned on the internet. it is also a good thing for the national football team.
