"You have to believe in thunder to win!"

China is counting on Wu Lei's toes, who have been silent in the past two games.

China (FIFA ranking 73rd) will play against Qatar (FIFA ranking 58th) in the final Group A match of the 2023 Asian Cup Qatar at Khalifa International Stadium in Alayyan, Qatar, at 0 a.m. on the 23rd (Korea time). China ranks second in the group with two draws (2, 0 points, 0 losses), and Qatar ranks first in the group with two wins (6, 4 points, 0 losses).

The simplest way for China to reach the round of 16 is to win over Qatar. If China wins over Qatar, it will secure the second place in the group with five points. Regardless of the results of the match between Tajikistan and Lebanon that will be held at the same time, it will advance to the round of 16.

The problem is China's scoring ability in the past two games. China didn't score a single goal in the two games. China tied 0-0 in both the first and second games. In the face-to-face match with Tajikistan, China attempted 10 shots, but only managed to shoot twice on goal. In the face-to-face match against Lebanon, China fired 15 shots and recorded seven shots on goal, but failed to score a goal due to serious lack of goal-getting ability.

Urei's performance in the front line was disappointing. Urei had a chance to start both games, but failed to score and was replaced. In particular, the goal decider against Lebanon was very disappointing. Urei fired a shot at an empty goal post where the goalkeeper was away in the 20th minute of the second half, but was frustrated as he was blocked by defense.

Local Chinese fans were also angry over the scene. "Urey refused to score with an empty goal. He was replaced early on as his performance was very sluggish and it did not help the national team attack as if he was sleepwalking," China's Soho said. "The fans were angry and said, 'This is a crime.' He also criticized Urey by quoting journalist Wang Minghao's remarks, saying, "Urey cannot score on his own and now he can't even score with an empty goal."

However, he is paying attention to Urey's toes ahead of Game 3. "To win, you have to trust Urey," Soho said. "The synergy effect between Jang Winning and Urey was very good. The speed and agility of Woorey can compensate for Jang's shortcomings."

"If Wei Xihao returns, he can be the best trio in the national soccer team in terms of offense. Wu Lei always takes control of the opponent's deep space. There is no substitute for him in China. To win, we have to trust Wu Lei," he added.

There is a reason why China has high expectations for Wu Lei. Wu Lei contributed greatly to his team's victory by scoring 18 goals and 11 assists in the 2023 Shanghai Haigang Chinese Super League. However, Wu Lei has remained silent in five recent matches based on the national team. The last goal he scored was against Thailand in November last year.  토토사이트넷
