In this game against the Maldives, coach Li Tie made extensive adjustments to the starting lineup, leaving only goalkeeper Yan Junling and forward Wu Lei.
The defensive line is Li Lei, Li Ang, Yu Dabao, and Tomorrow. The midfielder is Hao Junmin's partner Chi Zhongguo, Wu Lei and Liu Binbin are on the wing, and the forward is Alan's partner Zhang Yuning.
This arrangement, on the one hand, is to accumulate strength for the key battle with Syria in the future, on the other hand, it is also to give players who had fewer chances to play some opportunities to experience the game, which is a beneficial accumulation for the subsequent games.

Their national team qualifications are deeper than those of Tang Miao, Wu Xinghan and others who have more chances to play before. Much, so after playing, there are not too many unfamiliar or unwilling to let go.
