Ending the embarrassing record of losing to opponents for 14 years, the Chinese national football team has a 2-0 chance for Palestine in the warm-up match | Opponent | Yankovic | Chinese team | Match | Wu Lei | Palestine | National football team

In the 34th minute, with the cooperation of Gao Zhunyi and Lin Liangming, Wu Lei swept the backcourt and scored an empty goal.

In the 60th minute, the Chinese football team scored a corner kick, and Jiang Guangtai made up for it with a supplementary shot.

Facing the tough and agile Palestinian team, the national football team went through a test.

On the evening of the 20th, at Dalian Suoyu Bay Football Stadium, witnessed by 16151 fans, the Chinese national football team defeated their opponents 2-0 in a warm-up match, with Wu Lei and Jiang Guangtai contributing to the team.

At this point, the Chinese national football team has ended its 14 year record of being defeated by the Palestinian team. Wu Lei also scored his 30th goal representing the Chinese national football team in this game, one goal short of Liu Haiguang's national football record.

Seeing Wu Lei's goal, Yangkovic celebrated wildly.

Wu Lei scored 3 goals in two matches

Compared to the previous start against Myanmar, Yangkovic made two adjustments to the lineup in this game, with Li Lei and Wang Qiuming replacing Liu Yang and Xu Xin against each other.

However, Yankovic changed the formation from 4-4-2 in the first game to 3-4- the goalkeeper was still Yan Junling, with Zhang Linpeng, Jiang Guangtai, and Gao Zhunyi forming a three center back. Wang Qiuming and Wang Shangyuan teamed up with double back backs, while wingers Li Lei and Sun Guowen, trident Lin Liangming and Wu Lei were on the left and right sides of the inning, with Axen in the center.

For this game, Yankovic said before the game, "As a coach, I am more concerned about the opportunities that should not be given to opponents on the field. Previously, the Myanmar team had two opportunities to counterattack, which boosted confidence. This is something we should not leave for opponents in positional matches."

Secondly, Yankovic stated that we need to further strengthen the exercise of offensive tactics.

In the first game, the Chinese national football team scored 4 goals, but there were also a few missed opportunities to score. In this game, Yankovic hopes that the team can build on this foundation and further play the attacking routine more clearly, improving their chances in front of the goal.

In the 33rd minute of the game, the Chinese team broke the deadlock - Lin Liangming passed the ball from inside the penalty area to the high precision wing who was inserted forward at high speed. The latter tapped horizontally, and Wu Lei took a post to steal the ball into the empty goal.

In the previous game, Wu Lei staged a brilliant performance with two goals, scoring 29 goals for his national team, surpassing Ma Lin and Yang Xu, becoming the second scorer in the history of the national team.

And this goal in this game, Wu Lei is only one goal away from Liu Haiguang's national team record of 31 goals.

This is also Wu Lei's 83rd time playing for the Chinese national team. In the national team's history of appearances, Wu Lei tied Sun Jihai and tied for 12th place.

Li Weifeng is currently the player with the most appearances for the Chinese national football team, with a total of 112 appearances. The players ranked 2-11 are Zhu Bo, Fan Zhiyi, Gao Lin, Zheng Zhi, Li Ming, Zhang Linpeng, Li Tie, Hao Junmin, Ma Mingyu, and Zhao Xuri.

The Palestinian team hit the goalpost.

In the second half of the game, the Palestinian team significantly strengthened their attack and created an excellent opportunity in the 60th minute - Ferrari made a cross from the right and Sayam shot and hit the post.

Fortunately, the Chinese national football team quickly took advantage of the set kick opportunity to make a comeback - in the 60th minute, the Chinese national football team took a corner kick, and Exxon's header was saved. Jiang Guangtai made up a shot to score, and this naturalized center back scored his first goal of his Chinese football career.

Ending the Embarrassment of 14 Years of Invincibility to Palestine

From the historical confrontation records of both sides, the Chinese national football team has an absolute advantage against Palestine, with a record of 4 wins and 2 draws remaining unbeaten.

In 1966, the Chinese national football team won 7-0 against Palestine. In the early 21st century, the Chinese men's football team also had the upper hand in the competition - during the period of Zhu Guanghu, the Chinese men's football team faced the Palestinian team twice in the Asian Cup qualifiers, both with a score of 2-0.

During the reign of Gao Hongbo, the Chinese team also defeated the Palestinian team 3-1 in 2009.

But since then, the Chinese national football team has not been able to win in the last two matches against Palestine - they played 0-0 in 2014; In 2018, it was a 1-1 draw, and the Chinese national team has not won against Palestine in the past 14 years.

According to FIFA ranking statistics, as long as the Chinese team can defeat the Palestinian team, they will receive 4.39 technical points, with a total score of 1304.78 points. If they draw or lose, the Chinese team will lose points.

Previously, the Chinese national football team won 4-0 against Myanmar, earning 2.41 technical points and bringing the total score back within 1300 points, reaching 1300.39 points.

In terms of Asian rankings, the Chinese national football team will still rank 11th, after all, in the April ranking, the Chinese team is nearly 26 technical points behind Uzbekistan, who is ranked 10th in Asia.

Moreover, Uzbekistan is also participating in the first Central Asian Cup of Nations at the same time, winning all three games that have already ended and earning many points. It is difficult for the Chinese team to surpass this opponent in the short term.

Due to the fact that the draw for the semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in November this year will be based on the AFC ranking, it is still very difficult for the Chinese team to advance from 11th place to the top 9 and qualify for the first round.
