Jan. 5 - China's men's national team will play its final warm-up match against a local club team in the United Arab Emirates during training in Abu Dhabi this evening (5) local time, according to Sportsweek's Ma Dexing.
After going out early in the morning on the 2nd to do morning exercises and arranging two practices, head coach Jankovic did not insist that the team continue to practice two or three times, but adjusted the training program and training volume. On the one hand, it is to let the players' bodies get through the fatigue period as soon as possible, and on the other hand, it is also to find a way to reduce the pressure of the players. After the last two or three days of adjustment, the players are obviously better in all aspects.
In yesterday afternoon's training session, Jankovic did not schedule a large amount of training as he would be participating in a warm-up match the next day. From the point of view of the whole training, first of all, the players were in a good mood, but more importantly the players' reaction, body sensitivity and flexibility on the pitch, which was obviously much better than in the previous days, unlike in the previous matches against Oman and Hong Kong, China.
In addition to mastering and adjusting the volume and rhythm of training, the most important thing is to reduce the pressure on the players, so that they can get rid of the haze of previous defeats as soon as possible. As a matter of fact, for the defeat itself, the international players are also very upset because no one wants to lose, but let the players really feel the invisible pressure or some meaningless statements, which also exacerbates the psychological fluctuation of the players to a certain extent.
Because of this, the team's management team has been communicating with the players to help calm them down. At least from what we saw yesterday afternoon, the players have eased up a lot and are no longer as unsmiling as they were in the first two days, and laughter is back on the training ground.
According to the arrangement, the national soccer team will play its last warm-up match against a local club team in the UAE tonight at local time. The main purpose of arranging this warm-up match is to let the players find the feeling of the game and carry out some targeted technical and tactical drills.
