At 20:00 on the evening of June 6, Beijing time, the Chinese men's football team will sit at Shenyang's home stadium to usher in a crucial match in the round of 36 of the World Preliminary Tournament, and the opponent is the strongest opponent in the competition, Thailand.

There are only two days left in the battle of life and death, but the national football team suddenly suffered a fatal critical blow, and the time has come to test Ivan's ability to adjust

After the first 4 rounds of group stage matches, the Chinese men's football team won 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, accumulating 7 points, ranking second in Group C, just 3 points more than the rival Thai team. In this round against the Thai team, if the national football team can beat the Thai team and score all 3 points, it can enter the top 18 of the world preliminary round in advance; However, if they unfortunately lose to Thailand or draw with Thailand, the qualification situation of the national football team will become precarious, because the next round will face an almost invincible South Korean team, while Thailand will face a Singapore team with a high probability of winning. In view of this, according to the analysis of the group situation, as long as the national football team cannot win this game, the prospects for qualification will become very slim.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that this game against the Thai team can be called a battle of life and death, and the national football team only has one way left in Huashan, that is, it must win the game and score 3 points. However, the heavens are not beautiful, and just when the game was about to start in two days, the Chinese men's football team suddenly suffered a fatal blow. According to the official news of the national team on the evening of June 3, the right fullback of the national football team, Gao Zhunyi, was hospitalized for appendicitis, and now although the operation has been successfully completed and the postoperative physical condition is normal, he will definitely miss the battle of life and death with the Thai team because he has to recuperate for a period of time.

Gao Zhunyi's absence due to illness is naturally a dismal bad news for the Chinese men's football team. Fans who are familiar with Gao Zhunyi know that he is an all-round warrior on the backline of the national football team, and he can play almost any position in the backline, from left-back to right-back, to central defender, he can do it all.

And the most difficult thing is that Gao Zhunyi not only has a solid defense, but also has a super wing promotion ability and the offensive attributes of forward assists, after joining Shandong Luneng this season, he has played 12 games for the team and has contributed 2 goals and 2 assists; When he played for the national team last year, he also contributed one wonderful assist. Therefore, such an offensive and defensive Gao Zhunyi could not play due to illness, which can be called a relatively fatal crit for the national football team. Although Wang Zhenao, Yang Zexiang and others can replace Gao Zhunyi to play his right fullback position, but from the perspective of tactical effect, they will slightly lose to Gao Zhunyi.

Gao Zhunyi suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized, which led to the non-combat attrition of the national football team, and if coach Ivankovic could not respond well, it would inevitably greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the national football team. It seems that the time has come to test Ivankovic's ability to adjust.
