Dec. 25 - The national soccer team arranged its first confrontation training after arriving in the United Arab Emirates during the morning training session on Dec. 24, and head coach Jankovic was very satisfied with the condition of the international players in the training session, according to reporter Ma Dexing.
During the day's drills, the players were generally in high spirits, the quality of finishing was relatively good, and the basic requirements of mugging and urgency in confrontation were done well. A more explanatory issue was the replicated shooting practice. In the past, the national soccer team's replicated field goal practice had a poor hit rate, where 10 shots could go three or four feet into the goal very well. But in this training, the hit rate is more than 50%, close to 60%, especially Lin Liangming, Zhang Yuning, Wu Lei and other forward players, although the turn is about six times each, but almost all the ball can enter the network. Xu Haofeng has been criticized by outsiders for putting the ball in the net the first three times he replicated his strong point. The performance of the international players had Jankovic in command and making good noises.
During the international offense routine drills, Xu Xin ran laps alone on the sidelines accompanied by assistant coach Zheng Zhi. Unlike other international players, Xu Xin lacked more physicality as they did not receive advance notice of the drills and Xu Xin was not particularly prepared prior to supplemental recruiting. After arriving at the team, every day's training had to make up for this lesson. After running laps, Xu Xin joined the joint training in the last half of the confrontation training. Zhu Chenjie was injured because he had been injured before. After the injury, the team focused on the longer term. After nearly an hour of training, he arranged for him to do activities alone and did not participate in the confrontation training with the team.
After all the training, Yankovic fully recognized the attitude and performance of all the players in the training, and even used the word "perfect" to describe it, and hoped that they could continue to maintain this high spirit and condition in the next day's warm-up match.
According to the arrangement, the national team will hold the first warm-up match in the United Arab Emirates this afternoon (25th), the opponent is an Abu Dhabi local from the youth training of the second class team "RegionalSports" (RegionalSports) in the UAE second class league (the third level), the team is currently in the eighth place in the UAE with 12 matches, 3 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses with 16 points. The team is currently eighth in the UAE Second Division (third tier) with three wins, seven draws and two defeats in 12 matches.
