live broadcast on september 10th, according to beijing youth daily sports, xie pengfei, cheng jin and huang zhengyu are included in the chinese national team's roster for the match against saudi arabia, while bao yaxiong, wang haijian and wei zhen will miss the match.

on the evening of september 9, the chinese men's football team went to the dalian soyuwan professional stadium to conduct pre-match training before the second round of the 18-strong match. judging from the recent team training, goalkeeper bao yaxiong, midfielder wang haijian, and central defender wei zhen will most likely miss the match on the evening of the 10th.

according to the regulations of fifa and afc, each team participating in the top 18 can register a maximum of 23 players for each match. taking the first round of the top 18 match against japan as an example, among the 27 players participating in the current training camp, forward xie pengfei, cheng jin, midfielder huang zhengyu and goalkeeper bao yaxiong were not included in the 23-man registered lineup due to factors such as the relatively abundant reserve of players in the same position.

however, as the beijing youth daily reporter learned earlier, the players who will be registered for each round of the 18-strong match of the national football team will be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of the game, injuries and other factors. the national football coaching staff has finalized the players who will be registered for the china and saudi arabia matches based on the team's preparations in recent days. at present, the three players who have not been able to register for the china and saudi arabia matches are goalkeeper bao yaxiong, midfielder wang haijian and central defender wei zhen. in ivan's opinion, these players either lack experience in international competitions or their overall abilities are slightly inferior to other players in the same position, so the coaching staff can only reluctantly give them up.

it is worth noting that forwards xie pengfei, cheng jin, and defensive midfielder huang zhengyu, who missed the china-japan match, will most likely be included in the registration list for the china-saudi arabia match. this is actually because their technical characteristics meet the tactical needs of this game. for example, after liu yang was injured and withdrew, although li lei will replace him as the main left back, the national football team still needs other substitutes in the same position. in the previous team's group confrontation training, huang zhengyu had played as a left back. huang zhengyu's almost "sticky" style in defense has won ivan's appreciation. although xie pengfei's physical confrontation ability is relatively weak, his personal dribbling ability and footwork are outstanding, and he has a more prominent tactical role. cheng jin's style is brave, and he can play in the middle and on the wing, providing more options for the coaching staff.

the possible 23-man roster for the chinese national football team against saudi arabia:

goalkeepers: liu dianzuo (wuhan three towns), wang dalei (shandong taishan), yan junling (shanghai haigang)

defenders: gao zhunyi (shandong taishan), han pengfei (tianjin jinmen tigers), jiang guangtai (shanghai haigang), jiang shenglong (shanghai shenhua), li lei (beijing guoan), yang zexiang (shanghai shenhua), zhu chenjie (shanghai shenhua)

midfielders: cheng jin (zhejiang), huang zhengyu (shandong taishan), li yuanyi (shandong taishan), wang shangyuan (henan), xie pengfei (shanghai shenhua), xie wenneng (shandong taishan), xu haoyang (shanghai shenhua)

forwards: alan (qingdao west coast), baiheram (shenzhen new pengcheng), fernando (shanghai shenhua), lin liangming (beijing guoan), wu lei (shanghai haigang), zhang yuning (beijing guoan)
