In the face of such a powerful enemy, Ivankovic in Dalian during the training carefully prepared, carried out in-depth research, put forward the "three strokes" countermeasures, and vowed to win a line of vitality for the Chinese team.
First, he led his team in a detailed review of the China-Korea war. Every passing mistake and every defensive loophole was peeled back by him, asking the national football team to summarize the problems and learn from the experience. Meanwhile, the FIFA lecturer arranged a rule interpretation, so that the players had a clear understanding of the latest penalty rules and reduced the mistakes caused by the blind spots of the rules.
Secondly, a series of targeted strategies were tailored for tactical deployment. According to the characteristics of the Japanese players, special training has been strengthened, simulated real-world scenarios, so that the players are familiar with the opponent and at the same time improve the ability to work together. With 4 backs and double backs as the main focus, the fences are solid, steady, and counter-attacking quickly, and the set-piece tactics are focused on drills, aiming to deal with the opponent to the end on both the offensive and defensive ends of the field. At the same time, key players were given key defensive drills, which yielded good results against South Korea in an attempt to lock down Japan's offensive firepower.
Finally, the most important thing is to adjust the mindset. Ivankovic knows that the mindset determines the destiny. He and his coaching team tried to dispel the nervousness and uneasiness of the national football players, emphasizing that the game is not only a battle of winning and losing, but also a stage for self-transcendence. Players are encouraged to enjoy the process of the game, treating every touch and run as a footprint of growth, strengthening the belief and confidence to defy the strongest players, and transforming the spirit of fighting for the country into fighting strength.
Chinese men's soccer team is ready to proclaim to the world with indomitable fighting spirit and performance in Tokyo, Japan:On this field, there is no absolute strong man, only the brave who constantly challenge themselves. Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning, Alan and other national soccer team said that although the Japanese team is strong, but we will never give up, the players are eager to compete with the strongest teams and strive to achieve good results. Perhaps it is this persistence and hard work that will bring us unexpected surprises!
