Here is the lineup for easy cut and paste: Li Leilei Sun Jihai Li Weifeng Zhang Yaokun Ji Mingyi Wang Dong Zhou Haibin Zheng Zhi Mao Jianqing Shao Jiayi Han Peng Subs Li Tie Dong Fangzhuo Zheng Bin
Li Leilei - 7 did everything he was called upon, very tough goal to prevent the shut out Sun Jihai - 6 Li Weifeng - 6 Zhang Yaokun -6 Ji Mingyi - 6 defense as a whole didn't stand out, some mistakes, but nothing that cost the team too much Wang Dong - 9 MotM 2 goals, 1 assist, his pace is still a problem, but no complaints Zhou Haibin - 5 was he even out there? Zheng Zhi - 6 decent performance, stupid yellow card Mao Jianqing - 8 did everything but score a goal; tatoos, stupid hair and all, he is the MAN Shao Jiayi - 7 good goal and good overall performance Han Peng - 8 2 great goals, should have had a 3rd, every time he got the ball in the attack, he threatened... Subs Li Tie - 5 Dong Fangzhuo - 5 Zheng Bin - 5 nothing good or bad out of any of the subs...Tie Zi and Dong had more than enough time to leave their mark and force Zhu's hand, but failed to do so. Zheng had almost no time out there....
the total is 10 marks! Li Leilei 7 he did what he should have done. i see he is sometimes very NERVOUS for certain reason.. Sun Jihai 7 he not only performed quite well as defending.. he was rather instrumental toward passing at midfield and building up attack. Li Weifeng 6 yellow card that is unnecessary. Zhang Yaokun 6 Ji Mingyi or (Sun Xiang?) 6.5 hell ya. Wang Dong 8.5 one assist, then a lucky goal, then another lucky goal. he's the man of this match.. i hope he can continue to be like this for asian cup and future. Zhou Haibin 6 Zheng Zhi 6 another unnecessary yellow card. Mao Jianqing 7 the way how he go through 3 players and almost the 4th is the highlight. Shao Jiayi 7 not to only mention the goal, his threatening left curl kick on the left side of post is very threatening Han Peng 8 terminator. Subs Li Tie 5 regarding his performance.. if i am in hong kong..the supporters will properly say "diu" Dong Fangzhuo 5.5 he tried but too much mistakes. first shot = not serious at all. seems just like kicking the bucket off the ground second shot = kicking to the ufo on top of stadium. third attempt = very nervous and the long-named goalkeeper catch the ball Zheng Bin --- no marks due to less interaction with the ball hope this helps.
i didn't watch the game. but glad to hear Li Weifeng and Zhen Zhi get a yellow card. I don't really like them. I would rather see Zhou Xuri and Du Wei up there
I'm sorry, I must have been too focused on celebration and a little drunk or something, Ji Mingyi didn't play at all, that should be Sun Xiang...Will correct it...
Li Leilei - 6 - Did everything he could, solid even though there weren't many serious shots. The goal scored he couldn't have done much anyways. Sun Jihai - 7 - Good distribution of the ball, a bit sloppy at times, but was solid in defense for the majority of the game. Li Weifeng - 6 - The better of the two in center, stood his ground, shaky defense from set pieces at times. Zhang Yaokun - 5 - Only mistake was when he lost his footing against a Malay player, but it could have been costly had they been able to pose a more serious finishing threat. Sun Xiang - 5 - Gradually got better as the game went along, but still nothing to be proud of. Got some decent long passes through, but was shaky on defense at times. Wang Dong - 7 - Didn't work very hard the entire game, definitely lacking in speed. But there at the right place at the right time in key opportunities ... which is what counts. Zhou Haibin - 5 - Invisible through most of the match. Zheng Zhi - 7 - Coordinated attacks and went deep. Just what was expected of a player of his caliber. Deserved a goal for his effort at least. Mao Jianqing - 8 - My MotM. Worked very hard, got some decent crosses in. Dribbled past 3 defenders at one point until he got body checked, definitely has the potential to become a star player for China. Just lacked the goal to cap it off. Miss in the 6 yd box was unfortunate and he knew it. Shao Jiayi - 5 - Didn't do much at all. There at the right place at the right time for his goal. Han Peng - 8 - 2 goals, did his job well as lone striker. Subs Li Tie - 6 - Put in effort where Zhou Haibin didn't. But wasn't overly impressive anyways. Dong Fangzhuo - 5 - Looked rusty. Squandered a few chances, a tad too heavy on his touch when he had the open opportunity. Zheng Bin - n/a - Didn't have much time to do anything.
My rating is based on Football Manager ratings since I play that so much haha. So everyone starts with a 6. LLL - 7 - Solid Sun Jihai - 7 - Solid, made a few good runs forward Sun Xiang - 6 - Nice shot on goal, otherwise average Zhang Yaokun -6 - Average, slip looked bad Li Weifun - 6 - Average Zheng Zhi - 6 - Average, created a few chances Mao Jianqing - 8 - Good runs, good cross, good creativity, finishing needs work Wang Dong - 7 - Slow, so very slow, good cross, good goal Zhou Haibin - 5 - Few mistakes and didn't really see much of him Xiao Jiayi -6 - Average, goal was luck Han Peng - 7 - At the right place at the right time, didn't create anything by himself Subs Li Tie - 6 - average Dong Fangzhou - 6 - average Zheng Bin - 6 - nothing of particular Lack of creativity, no individual skills. All goals were either luck or defensive mistakes. Nothing created. Pace was slow as Malaysia was content on sitting back and not pressuring Chinese defense, will not work with Iran. Needs more creativity, speed, and better finishing.
Li Leilei - 6 - can't blame him on the goal, not much to do. Sun Jihai - 7 - decent, good positioning Li Weifeng - 6 - good except for that stupid giveaway Zhang Yaokun - 5 - poor, looked lethargic Sun Xiang - 5 - poor crosses, needs to attack more Wang Dong - 6 - lucky 1st goal (deflection), poor goalkeeping on his 2nd goal. Cross on the 1st goal was too high, against a better GK it would be an easy catch. An average player with little speed. Zhou Haibin - 6 - used as a deep DMF, no major mistakes defensively Zheng Zhi - 8 - MoTM for me. Mao Jianqing - 8 - great 1st half. Very smart player. Shao Jiayi - 6 - same old sh!t - not enough movement Han Peng - 7 - lethal finishing. Good post player for 4-5-1 formation. Subs Li Tie - 6 - not much to do Dong Fangzhuo - 6 - still not in form Zheng Bin - to little time to be rated.
