At 18:30 on the 16th, the Chinese men's soccer team will face Myanmar in a warm-up match. In order to ensure the first win for head coach Yang Kovic after taking over, the team will send out the main team that warmed up with New Zealand in March and will not make too many adjustments to the lineup.
In international soccer, the first semifinal of the UEFA Europa League began with the Netherlands hosting 2 points in extra time. :4 (2:second in regular time, defeated Croatia. Croatia had the last laugh and took the lead in the final.
Warm-ups:
The national team will face Myanmar tomorrow
On June 16, the Chinese men's soccer team will face Myanmar in a warm-up match. In order to secure head coach Yang Kovic's first win after taking over, the Chinese men's soccer team will not make too many changes to its lineup as it will field its main team in the warm-up match against New Zealand in March.
The Chinese men's soccer team recruited 23 players for the training session, eight of whom did not participate in the warm-up match with New Zealand in March.
In addition to Ackerson and Jiang Guangtai, the national soccer team has recruited several players who have shown good attacking ability in the league, such as Wang Ziming, Xie Pengfei, and Wang Shenchao. The aim is to build a three-dimensional attacking system for the team in an effort to win the two warm-up matches.
This season, Ackerson joined Chengdu Rongcheng and has been performing well in the Chinese Super League. He has scored 4 goals so far, and his performance is certainly something to look forward to as he returns to the Chinese men's soccer team.
Of course, the coaching staff also "takes care" of the newcomers. After all, they need to adapt to Jankovic's tactics, and it helps if the coach makes the necessary points.
Although the Chinese men's first warm-up opponent, Myanmar, is not a strong team, Jankovic is likely to select a lineup of players who played in New Zealand in March to ensure he wins over that opponent.
For a couple of the newcomers, they still need to gel with the team, so a June 20 match against Palestine seems more logical.
The home of the national soccer team will be a brand new Barracuda Bay Soccer Stadium in Dalian, a professional soccer stadium surrounded by the sea on three sides that will also be making its official match debut. The last time the national football team played at home dates back to May 30, 2021 for the Asian Zone Top 40 and Guam World Qualifier.
