The next Team China caretaker and permanent coach/2014 National Team thread

Predictions for China vs Saudi Arabia?

Mine is a close 2-1 victory for China.

 

Lets hope just for a draw cuz im just hoping the defense doesnt crap the bed

 

Wang Dalei
Mei Fang, Zhang Linpeng, Ren Hang, Ji Xiang
Zheng Zhi, Wu Xi
Zhang Chengdong, Wu Lei, Hao Junmin
Yu Hai

Edit: Ji Xiang is playing RB and Mei Fang is LB, no idea why Jiang Zhipeng isn't starting at LB, Mei Fang has no left foot

 

Actually i can't tell if Zhang Chengdong is RB and Ji Xiang RW. Anyway cautious start from both teams, neither team wants to make mistakes but the game is starting to open up. Saudi Arabia controlling the opening but China starting to wake up

 

I'm using Unibet, they show all games

 

HT 0-0

Wu Xi with the best chance of the half shooting just wide, China looking comfortable on the ball and has had the better of chances. Saudi Arabia however also looking very good on the ball but are struggling to play the final pass. Our defense has stood up to the task but looking a bit shaky, which is understandable when u see 3 fullbacks and one winger making up the backline. Wu Lei has been completely invisible but Hao Junmin looking good as usual. Yu Hai has been pretty good at holding up the ball and linking up with the midfield. Good half from China, it's anyones game at this point

 

In the end was a win after Saudi Arabid missed a PK.
