On June 19, a new week began. This week, the 2023 Premier League season is still on hiatus and the national team continues to play friendly matches.
According to the arrangement, Beijing time on June 19, 19: in Zhejiang Jinhua Sports Center Stadium, the national men's Asian Games team will play with the South Korean U24 team for the second round of the International Football Invitational Tournament. June 20 Beijing time 199919: 35, China's national men's football team will be in the Dalian Barracuda Bay soccer stadium with the Palestinian team for a warm-up match.
According to the latest program listings of CCTV, the CCTV sports channel (CCTV5) will focus on the live broadcast of these two matches on June 19 and 20 19 from :30, respectively.
This is the 2nd recent appearance of the 2 national teams. Last week, Asian Games lost 1-3 to South Korea U24, and there was indeed a gap between the two sides from the field. Even if the Asian Games team scored a goal, there was a suspicion that it went out of the bottom line first. Therefore, it is especially crucial for the Asian Games team to be able to withstand the penetrating and pressing attack of the Korea U24 team in the second round of the tournament and to make quality counterattacks on the basis of defense.
Asian Games head coach Djurdjevic said in a pre-match press conference that the starting lineup will be tweaked a bit for the South Korean U24s in Europe, and that the offense and defense will try some new collaborations.
The national team relied on Wu Lei to score twice, along with goals from Zhang Linpeng and Lin Liangming, to beat Myanmar 4-0 in an earlier warm-up match.
In four days, China's national soccer team will play Palestine, a team that is ranked higher than Myanmar. This game is more valuable, relatively speaking.
It will be interesting to see if manager Jankovic can lead his team to another passionate victory, especially if they can be more fluid and efficient in both offense and defense. In addition, we can also look forward to the tacit understanding between Wu Lei and the naturalized player Eckerson in the striker position, to see if they can continue to show great power, which is also a point worth watching.
