U23 Asian Cup qualifiers focus match, with Chinese team playing against Australia. In this game, the Chinese team can only win the first place in the group. If the two teams tied, they will advance to the main competition together. In the first two games, the main lineup of the Chinese team was not fixed, and how Antonio would arrange the starting lineup in this game is also a highlight. Wang Yudong is in excellent condition and should return to the starting lineup in this game. In the first two rounds of the match, the Chinese team narrowly defeated East Timor 2-1, defeated North Mariana Islands 10-0, and Australia also won two consecutive games. They defeated East Timor 6-0, with more goals. According to the rules of the qualifiers, the first place in 11 groups directly advances to the main competition, and the second place with the best results advances to the main competition. After the second round, the Chinese team was the second in 11 groups, with the most goal difference. In the last game against Australia, the draw can ensure that they qualify.

For the Chinese team, the key to facing Australia in this game is defense, which is also something that makes fans more worried. In the first two rounds of the game, there were still some problems with the Chinese team's defense. Captain Liu Haofan's performance was not stable, which also became a variable in the game. Judging from the starting arrangements, Li Hao and Yu Jinyong played once in the first two games. Facing Australia, both of them have the conditions to play. Considering Australia's height conditions, Yu Jinyong's starting lineup may be a better choice, and he will have better control over high-altitude balls.

back line, Wumi Tijiang made a mistake in the first round and did not play in the second game. Peng Xiao made a appearance in the second round and his overall performance was stable. If he partnered with Liu Haofan as a central defender, it would be a relatively ideal choice. In the full-back position, Hu Hetao locked in a starter. Wang Shiqin and Bao Shimeng, who played in the first two games, both are weak. Yang Xi, who plays on the West Coast, is actually a good choice, but it depends on how Antonio makes a decision.

midfield and frontcourt, Yang Haoyu should lock in the starting position, and Chen Zhexuan and Li Zhenquan compete for a starting position. On the offensive end, Kuai Jiwen, Wang Yudong and Baihe Lamu basically locked in the starting lineup. Xiang Yuwang performed poorly in the first two rounds of the game. If he was withdrawn from the starting lineup in this game, it is also a reasonable choice. Zhu Pengyu, Li Xinxiang and others are reasonable rotation plans, and Antonio also needs to make a decision.

In this game, CCTV5 was broadcast live, and Wang Yudong's performance was still the key to the team's offense. It's another situation of qualifying. I hope that these national players can show their energy on the court and achieve ideal results.
