In the middle of this week, the national soccer team is about to embark on a new and much-anticipated World Cup qualifying tour. Before that, head coach Yang Kovic talked about many things related to the tournament in an interview with the media. When asked about his goals, Yang Kovic made it very clear that his only goal in leading the Chinese team is to reach the World Cup finals and will do his best to qualify in this qualifying tournament.
Jankovic also talked about the chances of the reformed 2026 World Cup. After all, compared to the past, every qualifying round was eliminated teams, this four-round qualifier still have a certain "resurrection" opportunities (good results of the second group)). Therefore, the probability of the national football team to qualify is relatively high. At the same time, due to the Asian qualification of the exponential growth (8.5 qualification), to the national football team brought a different hope. This is also the key for the coach to be more confident and believe that he can lead the national football team to achieve results.
For Thailand and South Korea, Jankovic also arranged assistants to analyze in detail. Especially at the technical and tactical level, they took a lot of Thai teams from Europe for training, and showed their highlights in the five major leagues with Korean stars. Through repeated research and polishing, they gained first-hand information at the technical and tactical level. This could be a favorable factor in the preparation of the national football team. Jankovic also interestingly said that he has prepared the relevant tactics, but he can't reveal it in the interview. Secrets cannot be revealed.
Based on his several interviews, perhaps this coaching staff does have a different "style". They pay special attention to information gathering, and put a lot of effort into obtaining information and making targeted arrangements. Prior to this, Jankovic had also made his choice clear, placing Zhang Yuning as the starting winger in the No. 9 position, rather than choosing Iverson, a naturalized player who has helped the national soccer team in recent years. It also reportedly stems from his confidence in his message and information. It tells a lot about his character.
I hope that his style of leadership and ability to acquire information will really help the national soccer team to build on its technical and tactical strengths and avoid its weaknesses. I also hope that the "koi fish" that made it to the national soccer team will be ready for the preliminaries.
Jankovic also talked about his stress. He said that coaching the national soccer team is a blessing for him, but it's also a stressful thing. In a country with a population of 1.4 billion, it's not easy to lead a team with relatively many problems to stand out. Fortunately, there is a relatively reliable team of assistant coaches who can make up for the shortcomings through various aspects. As you can see, Young recognizes his various assistants.
Prior to this, once led the men's Asian Games in the Asian Games performance is relatively outstanding Jurjevic, many times with Yang Kovic communication, the understanding of Chinese soccer is the same, which is also in line with the development of the green cause. In any case, this week's match against Thailand will be a good way to see the preparation and level of the national football team, as well as whether it can advance to the next round and reach the World Cup finals, there will also be a relatively clear answer.
As the saying goes, if it's a mule or a horse, pull it out and see.
