It is well-known that recently, the national team's first training session for 2025 is underway. We are aware that this training is primarily aimed at addressing deficiencies in preparation for the World Cup qualifiers in March. During this training, the national team has called up a massive squad of 32 players, with only two naturalized players, Hou Yongyong and Fernandes. However, due to personal reasons, Fernandes did not report to the national team, which has caused much dissatisfaction and questioning among fans. Nevertheless, we do not need to dwell on Fernandes as time passes, and the national team is accelerating the naturalization procedures for Serginho and Little Oscar. If these two players complete their naturalization, it is likely that Fernandes' position in the national team will be lost. The addition of Serginho and Little Oscar will further intensify the competition for starting positions in the national team. Among them, the players affected include not only Fernandes but also Wei Shihao, who may become a victim. It should be noted that both Serginho and Little Oscar are offensive players, and their positions are in the midfield. Therefore, once they complete their naturalization procedures before March and can represent the national team in the World Cup qualifiers, changes in the starting lineup will occur in the midfield positions. In fact, in the past six World Cup qualifier matches, we can summarize that the starting forwards were Wu Lei + Zhang Yuning in the first round, Wu Lei + Fernandes in the second round, Zhang Yuning + Fernandes in the third round, Zhang Yuning + Bai Helamu in the fourth and fifth rounds, and Wei Shihao + Lin Liangming in the sixth round. Additionally, the wingers on both sides were Xu Haoyang + Xie Weneng in the first round, Bai Helamu + Xie Weneng in the second round, Li Yuan + Xie Weneng in the third and fourth rounds, Li Yuan + Lin Liangming in the fifth round, and Xie Weneng + Xu Haoyang in the sixth round. Furthermore, in the midfield position, when the national team lines up in a 442 formation, Li Yuan + Jiang Shenglong form the double pivot, and when we line up in a diamond formation, the pivot position is mostly Wang Shangyuan, while the attacking midfielder position is Wei Shihao, except for the sixth round when the attacking midfielder was Cao Yongjing. Looking at the player appearance data in these positions, Wang Shangyuan, Zhang Yuning, and Xie Weneng have appeared the most and are considered to be most recognized by Ivankovic. The remaining Bai Helamu, Li Yuan, and Wei Shihao are also favored by Ivankovic. However, almost everyone is clear that Ivankovic is very keen on the 442 diamond formation. In such a lineup, the pivot position is likely to remain Wang Shangyuan, and the attacking midfielder position was originally Wei Shihao, unfortunately, if Serginho completes his naturalization, as long as he is in good form, this position is likely to become Serginho's possession. As a result, there are only two forward and two winger positions left in the frontcourt. In the forward positions, based on the current level of the national team, when playing against Saudi Arabia and Australia, defensive intensity will be required, so Zhang Yuning and Bai Helamu will likely be Ivankovic's preferred choices. For the wingers on both sides, judging from the previous six games, as long as Xie Weneng does not have any injury issues, he is likely to secure a position, and the remaining position will be a choice between Li Yuan or Lin Liangming. Therefore, in the upcoming matches, with the completion of Serginho and Little Oscar's naturalization, how Ivankovic arranges the starting positions will become a focus of attention for fans.
