ADELAIDE彩娱乐, Australia, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- Wei Shihao, who missed China's first two matches in the 2026 World Cup Asian Qualifiers, expressed optimism on Tuesday about his team's chances in their upcoming clash with Australia.

"Football is unpredictable," said Wei, who plays for Chinese Super League side Chengdu Rongcheng. "It's not guaranteed who will win; both sides have a chance."

With less than 48 hours until the game, tensions were high at China's training session at Service FM Stadium, on the outskirts of Adelaide. The team is under pressure following back-to-back defeats in their first two matches.

为维护我市道路交通秩序、改善广大群众出行交通环境，市公安局交通警察大队认真分析研判当下城区道路交通安全形势，以“冬季突出违法行为整治行动”为契机，彩娱乐登陆网址从“控、管、清、宣、助”五个方面入手，打出一系列交通管理“组合拳”，在疏堵保畅的交管工作赛道上跑出“加速度”。

Wei, who was suspended by the Chinese Football Association for a violent foul on a Wuhan player during a Super League match in April, has been recalled by head coach Branko Ivankovic due to injuries to key players Wu Lei and Alan.

"I think every player who joins the national team is ready," Wei said. "There's always pressure, but we're using it as motivation to improve and perform well in the upcoming games."

China is currently at the bottom of Group C, after suffering a 7-0 defeat to Japan in their opening match, followed by a 2-1 home loss to a 10-man Saudi Arabia.

Commenting on these defeats, Wei said, "We're definitely going to make some adjustments. There will be changes in our mentality and other areas."

Under Ivankovic, Wei has often been deployed as a center forward, rather than his usual position as a winger. Despite the shift, he believes players must adapt to different tactical plans.

"Every coach has their own approach彩娱乐," Wei noted. "As players, we need to be flexible. Whether it's playing on the wing, as an attacking midfielder, or deeper, it benefits you. Coaches shouldn't adapt to you; you need to adapt to the coach."  ■
