Beijing time on June 9th, the latest news from domestic media is that due to the unsatisfactory injuries of Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning, national football coach Ivankovic may use more young players on the offensive line. Baihe Lamu and Xie Wenneng, two new Olympic stars who performed well as substitutes against Thailand, are expected to be entrusted with important tasks and even serve as starters in the game against South Korea.
In the match against Thailand, Baihe Lamu and Xie Wenneng both made their national team debut as substitutes. The national football team's equalizing goal was due to Baihe Lamu's decisive shot in front of the goal. The two men's hard work and positive running attitude on the court were recognized by Ivankovic.
Against South Korea, the national football team will focus on defense. On the offensive line, they need to run and fight for active players to interfere with the Korean team's defense and reduce the pressure on their own midfielders. Therefore, Xie Wenneng and Baihe Lamu are both expected to come on stage to shoulder this arduous task when Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning are not optimistic about their injuries.
When he arrived for the first training in South Korea last night and was interviewed, Xie Wenneng said that he was ready for this life and death battle. He bluntly said that although South Korea is a strong team in Asia, he still has enough confidence and courage. The 23-year-old Taishan star also said domineeringly: He is not afraid of Son Heung-min.
Xie Wenneng said: "I will face them with a normal attitude. Although Son Heung-min and Lee Gang-in play for European giants, they are also human beings, right? He may also make mistakes. We only need to catch their mistakes, Even with some low-level mistakes, we will still have opportunities. ”
This season, Xie Wenneng made 17 appearances in Taishan, including 1 goal and 2 assists in 11 starts. He is Cui Kangxi’s favorite player. In the previous U23 Asian Cup, Xie Wenneng also scored 1 goal on behalf of the National Olympic Games against the United Arab Emirates, helping the team win and avoid the embarrassment of being at the bottom of the group.
