It is crucial for the national soccer team to get off to a good start for the World Qualifiers. As the national soccer team and Thailand are the most direct opponents in the 36-team group stage, Chinese fans believe that the goal of the first match should be three points! After all, looking at the current world rankings, the national soccer team is ranked 79th, 33 places higher than Thailand. The national soccer team is ranked 11th in Asia, 10 places higher than Thailand. "Men, you should be a little cruel to yourself!" Many domestic media reported that the national soccer team could also get 1 point!
Why is the national soccer team so conservative in its goals for the first game? Considering some of the factors of an away game and the fact that the national soccer team does not dare to set too high a target, confidence will be dented in the event of a draw or defeat. This is Chinese soccer, facing teams with poor overall strength and low international rankings, and also leaving room for themselves, is this like a team that affects the World Cup?On November 16th, Guangzhou Daily analyzed that the national soccer team had a minimum expectation of getting one point, and Jankovic did not arrange a tough attack.
There is no doubt that South Korea definitely tops the group among the national soccer team's 36 opponents in the same group. If the national soccer team is really ambitious, it will have to compete with the other two teams in the final. All this nonsense about home and away matches and weather factors! International players are professionals, not made of clay. If the internationals don't fight for 3 points on the road, will there be no pressure back at home? If you don't play well, you might say "too much pressure at home".
What the national football team practice?14 morning, he reviewed the technical and tactical drills in Shenzhen Universiade Center outfield. After arriving in Thailand, Yankovic worried that the team training will be spied on, only arranged a step on the field training, no tactical drills, just let the international players in the new venue to find the feeling. A fan joked:Â "What kind of tactics does the national soccer team have? I'm afraid of people watching." The national soccer team's positional ball training was not exposed, making fans even more curious to see the national soccer team's technical and tactical.
Yankovic's coaching staff studied the video of Thailand's matches and made targeted arrangements, which were the focus of local training in forcing, offense and defensive transition. Jankovic emphasized that everyone must observe tactical discipline. Due to the general fatigue of the international players, some players have not fully recovered, the preparations have not "increased the number", and did not arrange the simulation of the actual battle of high-intensity confrontation training. 15 November, the Daily News analysis, China did not win Thailand's strength and confidence.
Unsurprisingly, the national soccer team will also play the tactic of three center backs, and Jankovic won't change the lineup easily. Song Kai, the president of the new Chinese Football Association, is not going to be there to supervise the battle in order not to put more pressure on the generals of the national soccer team. This is good, and saves some unnecessary "public expenses". What's the point of Chen Xuyuan and the other soccer association leaders going to the games? Apart from breeding the germs of corruption, they go abroad every day to play cards and mahjong, and then do a "lap dance". Song Kai was wise not to go.
