at 8 pm on september 10th, beijing time, the chinese national football team will face saudi arabia in the second round of the asian qualifiers for the world cup at home. this is the second consecutive world cup qualifier between the two sides. since cctv has not purchased the broadcasting rights, it will continue to not broadcast live, and fans can only watch the game by paying.

due to the 0-7 defeat to japan in the first round away game, the chinese national football team urgently needs a victory to boost the morale of the whole team. it is also a battle of redemption for coach ivankovic. if they continue to lose, it is not ruled out that the football association will change coaches. this was also the case in the previous two rounds of 12 matches.

since arriving in dalian, the chinese national football team has been fully preparing for the world cup qualifier against saudi arabia. before the game, media reporters learned about coach ivankovic's lineup and starting arrangements through training.

according to reporter song chengliang's social media, ivankovic accidentally practiced the 443 formation in training, dividing the 24 players into two groups to form a 12-on-12 lineup.the main lineup is 4-4-3, wang dalei/yang zexiang, zhu chenjie, jiang guangtai, li lei/xie wenneng, jiang shenglong, li yuanyi, baihelamu/wu lei, alan, fernando. at that time, the main lineup should remove one of the front players.。”

due to liu yang's injury, the chinese national football team had to make a substitution at the left-back position, among which li lei is the most likely candidate to replace him. in addition, coach ivankovic's choice of striker will directly determine whether they can defeat saudi arabia at home, because goals are necessary to win.

facing japan away, wu lei and zhang yuning formed a double striker. the two had only one shot that missed the target throughout the game, which was from zhang yuning. as the main striker of the chinese national football team, wu lei was like invisible on the field and did not bring any help to the team. in order to face saudi arabia with all his strength to win, wu lei will most likely be withdrawn. the two naturalized players alan and fernando starting together are the most suitable combination, and the two have a tacit understanding in their cooperation.

if the chinese national team can beat saudi arabia at home, they will be able to escape from the bottom of the table and continue their unbeaten record against saudi arabia at home.

according to statistics, the two teams have played against each other 19 times in the past, with the chinese national team having a record of 6 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses. they have defeated saudi arabia 6 times in total, including 4 times at home, which shows that the chinese national team has a huge advantage at home. this time they need to continue to seize the opportunity to win this turnaround battle, strive to beat the opponent 1-0 and get their first victory in the round of 18.

it is worth mentioning that when the chinese national football team was preparing for this world cup qualifier, the chairman of the chinese football association, song kai, visited the training base and made a request to the players, "in the match against saudi arabia on the 10th, we played with a good mental attitude, played with the home court momentum, and played with blood.。”
