Aspect 1: After 563 days, what is the face of the long-lost national football team?
The last World Cup preliminaries match of the National Football Team also dates back to November 14, 2019.
Although it has been 563 days since then, for fans who pay attention to the national football, the deep impression left by this day has not dissipated.
In that key battle between the away game and Syria for the top spot, the national football team that had the advantage in the opening game lost a goal because of their own mistakes, and then Wu Lei equalized the score.
Just as the game was basically heading towards a draw, Zhang Linpeng accidentally took an own goal at the end of the game. In the end, the national football team regretted losing to Syria 1:2, allowing the opponent to gain a 5-point lead, and his own qualifying situation became precarious. .
To make matters worse, Lippi suddenly announced his resignation after the game, and Chinese football suddenly became "a chicken feather".

In 2020, the sudden outbreak of the epidemic gave sports a pause.
Since the world preliminaries, the national football team has never set foot on the field of official international competitions.
Although there will be an East Asian Cup at the end of 2019, the national football selection team was sent that time, not the "regular army."
Nowadays, the long-lost national football team will finally make its appearance again after a year and a half. What kind of look will this world preliminaries look like? Will it bring surprises in the next four games, the battle with Guam, Will be able to reveal the clues.

Aspect 2: After a year and a half, Li Tie finally welcomes his first show
The world preliminaries are also of great significance to Li Tie.
The national football player who played in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan has now become the national football coach.
Waiting for Li Tie's debut has been a bit hard. It has been nearly one and a half years since he officially took office on January 2, 2020.
Li Tie, who wants to play his role as the coach of the national football team, has not led the national football team to a formal match because of the epidemic. He only warmed up with domestic clubs in 8 games and achieved a record of victory.
These 8 games were 8:0 victory over Shenyang City, Liaoning, 1:0 victory over Wuhan, 4:1 Shanghai Harbor, 4:0 Shanghai Shenhua, 5:1 Hebei, 2:0 Changchun Yatai, and 2:0 Henan Songshan Dragon Gate and 3:0 Shandong Taishan.
After 8 games, the national football scored 29 goals and only conceded 2 goals.
Looking at it this way, the game data is particularly eye-catching, but the significance is limited to warm-up. Compared with the official international competition, the gold content is too far away.
Whether he can continue his good record into the world preliminaries will be a test for Li Tie.
After a year and a half of training, what kind of brand Li Tie has left for the national football team will be revealed in these four world preliminaries.

Highlight 3: "Hope of the whole village" Wu Lei returns
Wu Lei, who has been missing as long as the national football team, returned to China 18 months after studying abroad in Spain to make up the last piece of the national football puzzle.
In the year and a half outside, Wu Lei once broke the goal of La Liga giants Barcelona, and also experienced the tortuous road of the team's relegation from La Liga and then return with the team.
In this season of West Second Division, Wu Lei's playing time has also declined.
However, the return of Wu Lei still showed a good state. Exxon praised Wu Lei in the interview, saying that he has made great progress and will definitely be able to bring great help to the national football team.
In terms of running-in with his teammates, Li Tie said in the pre-match press conference that after Wu Lei returned to the team, there were not many unfamiliar places, and there was no problem in running-in.
Whether it was the previous Asian Cup or the previous 4 World Preliminary Top 40 matches, Wu Lei was able to stand up at the critical moment, hoping that Wu Lei could still play a hero in the more difficult 4 matches of the second half. Character.

Aspect 4: "Fernando" are in position, the national football team won all four games?
Compared with the Lippi era, the current "Li Jiajun" has been further upgraded in the lineup. Alan, Fernando and Jiang Guangtai have already joined the team for reinforcements. For the national football team with a severe qualifying situation, they can reinforce the key strikers and defenders. , Is very precious.
However, according to the latest situation, Fernando was injured during pre-match training. Li Tie confirmed at the pre-match press conference that he will not be able to play against Guam. Whether he can participate in the subsequent matches depends on doctor's advice.
At present, the national football team has 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the 4 world preliminaries, with 7 points. It is 8 points behind Syria with one game less, ranking second.
In the current situation, it is basically unrealistic to compete for the first place in the group. The most practical thing is to enter the ranks of the second team of the four best groups (not including the host Qatar), and then advance to the top 12. .
In view of the fact that in the first half of the four games, the national football team has used up all the chances of making mistakes, so in the next games, the national football team must ensure that they are foolproof and have a record of four wins, so that they can ignore other people’s faces and don’t need it. "Calculate math problems".
The North Korean team's abandonment of the competition also has a slight impact on the qualifying situation of the national football team.
According to many media reports, when comparing the points and goal difference of second in the group, the result of the match with the last opponent in the same group will not be calculated.
This even more requires the national football team to win the next four games, it must be "based on me."
Li Tie also said at the press conference that he must play every game well and strive for the best result.

In general, in the first two games against Guam and Maldives, the national football team must obtain as many goal difference as possible on the basis of victory, and at the same time find the feeling of the game.
The third game against the Philippines will be the top priority. The national football team must win the opponent if they want to advance to the top 12. Cause too much trouble for the national football team.
The second half of the World Preliminary Tour is about to begin. I hope that the national football team at home can win all four games as desired and successfully advance to the top 12 stage. I also hope that the national football team can have a good luck blessing!
