This November, the Chinese men's soccer team will face the first stage of the World Qualifying Tournament against the third and fourth teams. The Chinese men's soccer team is currently ranked 11th in Asia and participates in the World Qualifiers as the second team. In fact, the new national soccer team led by Kovic has an advantage in terms of teamwork and cohesion. In fact, the national soccer team is fully capable of making it to the World Cup if it builds the strongest team and does its best in the world qualifiers, with the help of naturalized players. It is fully capable of fighting the biggest teams in Asia.
Indeed, the national soccer team still has a lot of potential in preparing for the World Qualifiers. For example, Jankovic found great players like Lin Liangming and Chen Pu in the warm-up matches in June. Wu Lei and Ekerson are still the absolute mainstays of the national soccer team's offensive line. In the last 12 matches of the last World Qualifiers, the national soccer team drew 1-1 with Saudi Arabia and 1-1 with Australia. As far as the strongest lineup is concerned, we didn't lose to the first team in Asia. But the current national soccer team is facing some renewal issues. More young players also need match experience.
For example, like the U24 national soccer team, 2001 player Tao Qianglong excelled in both midfield and offense. There are also players like midfielders Dai Weijun, Wu Shaochong and Zhu Chenjie. They really need an intercontinental tournament like the Asian Games to have good experience. After the Asian Games, the players who performed well will enter the national team squad. This will also further contribute to the upgrading of the national soccer team.
Meanwhile, the FA has been deliberately arranging for domestic national teams at all levels to train abroad. And it has invited other Asian teams to China for warm-up matches. For example, the U22 Olympics played two warm-up matches with Uzbekistan, and the U24 national soccer team played two warm-up matches with South Korea for the Asian Games. The same goes for the national team. The new national team squad under Yankovic is not only led by head coach Yankovic who personally selects players in the domestic league, but also employs high-intensity, high-confrontation drills in every training session to enhance player cohesion.
Allowing the national team to get more warm-up matches is also more conducive to enhancing the cohesion of the national team and the execution of tactical formations. It is not always the case that the stronger team will beat the weaker team in a soccer match. It depends on the tactical lineup of both sides in the game. Obviously, the national soccer team has no suspense in the world preliminaries, for example, in the third and fourth matches, we won the opponent.
The third team includes Vietnam, Bahrain, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and Kyrgyzstan. Against these teams, it is clear that we warmed up with Palestine, which reflects the fact that there is still a big advantage between the national soccer team and the third team. In the last 12 matches of the last world qualifier, the national soccer team lost home field advantage. This also prevented us from getting a good result in the last 12 games. However, it is clear that the national soccer team will not only have home games, but will also get as many international warm-up games as possible before the tournament.
In fact, facing the third and fourth team, the strongest is the third team of Vietnam. But if our Chinese men's soccer team uses the strongest team, winning Vietnam is very promising. If you want to enter the World Cup, you have to face the first team. Then the help of naturalized players is essential. We look forward to good results for the national soccer team in the future.
