The Chinese men's soccer team won 2-0 against Vietnam, which meant that the national soccer team would not cause too many public waves after the game. However, there was a big contrast between the Chinese team's performance in the first half and the second half, which made fans wonder what changed the game.
The key point in this game was Jankovic's tactics and personnel. He stuck to his usual pressing tactics while significantly adjusting the starting lineup of the national team.
In this battle, Jankovic played Fang Hao in the side defense of the 343 system, and this bold attempt played a role in the game. In addition, he surprisingly used midfielder Wang Shangyuan to play as a right center back, instead of Wei Zhen, a Hong Kong defender who had just been transferred to the national team.
And in the middle of the midfield of the national football team, Jankovic still used the previous combination of Wu Xi and Li Ke, but Wu Xi's performance in the game is really pulling crotch. In this case, Jankovic in the second half will be young Dai Weijun replaced on the field, responsible for organizing the attack, this change also played an immediate effect.
Dai Weijun came out and brought enough energy to the midfield of the national soccer team. In the game, he often returned to the back half to receive the ball and control the possession with his skills. Through Dai Weijun's organization, the national soccer team pressed the formation higher and created more attacking opportunities for the front players.
Although Dai Weijun's coming on the field has changed the passive situation of the national football team in the game, it has to be said that his shortcomings are still obvious, that is, he is too sticky on the ball. Dai Weijun, as the core player in organizing the attack, should focus more on the big picture instead of making too many dribbles and breakthroughs just to show himself. In addition, he needs to be smarter in offense, otherwise he can easily fall into the opponent's circle and can't get the ball out in time, or even be broken by the opponent for counter-attack.
In the match against Vietnam, Wu Xi's performance was hardly satisfactory. Whether in the offensive end or in the defensive end, he did not play as well as he should. He often lost his position in the backfield defense and was unable to organize an effective attack in front of the field. After coming on as a substitute in the second half, Wang Qiu Ming showed more energy and confidence, which was not only reflected in his goals.
At present, the technical and tactical level of the domestic players is far behind the strongest teams in Europe and Asia, and the national football players must make up for their lack of skill and awareness through constant running and pressing. Therefore, the national football team urgently needs to change its blood, activate more young players and bring enough vitality to the national team.
Currently, one of the two most stable positions in the national soccer team is goalkeeper and the other is striker. Yan Junling and Wu Lei don't have anyone who can replace them yet. However, in the other positions, Jankovic needs to find newcomers as soon as possible to replace the veterans in their 30s. Drafting Fang Hao, Jiang Shenglong, He Yupeng, Wu Shaocong, Ye Lijiang and Xie Weijun is just the first step. I believe that in the next few months, more young players who have performed well in the league will be called up to the national team...
