even if you don't pay attention to chinese football, i believe you have heard about it in the past few days. in the first round of the asian qualifiers for the world cup, the chinese men's football team lost 0-7 to the japanese team away, setting a new low for chinese football. they also became the target of countless fans' criticism overnight. the journey of the chinese national football team to the world cup seemed to have come to an end in advance after one game.

however, before the chinese national football team has much time to adjust, the second game is coming. this time we will return to our home court to face another asian powerhouse, saudi arabia. in the first round, the saudi team, playing at home, was unexpectedly tied 1-1 by indonesia, and coach mancini was under a lot of pressure. this round, we will face the chinese team, which seems to be the weakest in the group. if saudi arabia still cannot win, the famous italian coach may be forced to hand over the coaching baton, so the prospects of the chinese team are not much better than when facing the japanese team.

against japan, the chinese national football team coach ivankovic still deployed his usual 4-4-2 formation, but it turned out that facing the top asian teams, the chinese national football team's four-back system was simply unable to compete with the opponent. what we can do is to pile up more players on the defensive end as much as possible and use the local numerical advantage to disintegrate the opponent's offensive. as for offense, the chinese national football team does not need to consider any tacit cooperation, but only needs to focus on practicing set pieces. after all, at this stage, the chinese men's football team does not have many ways to deal with positional offenses, and whether they can score a goal depends entirely on luck.

therefore, against saudi arabia, ivankovic may choose to change the formation. the 4-4-2 system that has been used for many years will be overturned. the more conservative 5-4-1 seems to be the most suitable formation for the national football team at present. as for the personnel, the starting players in the last game may not change much, except that jiang shenglong will withdraw from the defensive midfielder position in the last game to the backcourt and become the third central defender in the back line. and li lei will most likely replace liu yang who left the team due to injury and guard the left side for the national football team.

as we all know, cctv, china's largest sports media, did not broadcast the first round of 18 match between the chinese team and the japanese team due to the failure to reach an agreement on the copyright fee. although cctv had previously stated that it would continue to negotiate on the copyright issue of the chinese team and strive to resume broadcasting of the national football team's matches as soon as possible, the latest program list released on cctv's official website still did not include plans to broadcast this match. perhaps everyone can only find a way to watch this match online.

i wonder if this time, what awaits the chinese national football team is another crushing defeat or a strong comeback?
