20th November - In the 6th round of Group C in the 18-team Qualifiers, the Chinese national team suffered a 1-3 defeat at home against Japan. In a social media post, sports journalist Xu Zexin discussed the current situation of Chinese forward Wu Lei and the national team's forward line.

Bad news: We are now at the bottom; Good news: We are only 1 point away from direct qualification; This situation is really embarrassing. ?

Looking back at the 6 games in the Qualifiers, who has been the most embarrassing player in the Chinese national team?

I think it's Wu Lei. In the last four games, China's top player has not played a single match, yet the team's performance in attack has been outstanding, even improving. Does this situation sound familiar? Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo is experiencing something similar with Portugal right now. Both of them are finding it increasingly difficult to adapt to constant high-pressure and fast attacking and defending transitions, especially in big tournaments. But they can still occupy a place in the team with their unique qualities (Cristiano Ronaldo with his positioning and shooting skills; Wu Lei with his positioning and speed).

This is not to deny Wu Lei's contribution, but Ivan has somewhat weakened the limitations of his absence, even to the point where many fans feel: "Without Wu Lei, it seems like it is not so fatal to the team."

In the last four games starting from the match against Australia, Ivan's choice for the forward line has a common characteristic: "emphasis on physical duels, active running, and technical ability." Wu Lei's qualities are somewhat contradictory to that.

His physical duels are not as strong as Bai Jiajun and Zhang Yuning, and his technical ability is not as good as Wei Shihao. Can Wu Lei, who relies on speed and positioning, continue to be the absolute main force of the Chinese national team?

The current Chinese national team does not rely solely on one player, nor does it have a superstar who can single-handedly determine the outcome. If there is anyone like that, it would be the head coach.

In 2025, with a team that has gradually stabilized and Wu Lei returning from injury, Ivan will still face difficulties in making his choices. Of course, I hope Ivan can perfectly integrate Wu Lei into the team, achieving a synergy where one plus one is greater than two. And if that's not possible, then it must always be about the team above all.
