As we all know, the Chinese men's soccer team's draw for the group stage of the Asian Cup has been announced. Different fans have different opinions about whether this draw result is the so-called top draw. After unveiling the draw result, the official media of Xinhua News Agency interviewed Shao Jiayi, the leader of the national soccer team, and expressed the view that the opponents in the same group of the Asian Cup all have certain strength.
In addition, after the results of the national football team's Asian Cup draw grouping came out, the kick-off times and venues for the corresponding three group matches were also formalized. For the national team, the first match will face Tajikistan, which is a crucial match directly related to whether the national team can advance in the group. Therefore, the first round of the Asian Cup for the national soccer team is a battle of life and death.
Sun Wen, the vice-chairman of the Football Association (FA), was invited by the AFC as one of the guests of honor in the Asian Cup draw group and also witnessed the national soccer team being assigned the so-called top draw. In an interview with the media, Sun Wen also made two requests to the national soccer team for the next Asian Cup after the team was drawn into the group.
The first requirement is to play with confidence and the second is to do your best. As a result, the performance of the Chinese men's soccer team in the Asian Cup after the Chinese soccer team's fight against corruption has also attracted the attention of fans and media. Especially whether the performance has changed from the previous world qualifiers has also become the acceptance criteria for fans to consider Yankovic's coaching.
Of course, despite the fact that we think the national soccer team has been classified as a top draw, so have the opponents. At the end of the day, with the vast majority of these teams participating in the Asian Cup, the national soccer team is not sure they are going to win. The specific request made by Sun Wen, the vice president of the Football Association, is also an encouragement to the national soccer team, especially after building up their confidence to finish in the top eight or top four if possible.
The Asian Cup is just around the corner and the national soccer team has had plenty of time to prepare for the tournament. Despite losing the opportunity to host the tournament, we hope they will be determined and brave enough to play a great game for their supporters. Besides preparing for the Asian Cup, Jankovic's national team needs to finalize their starting lineup as soon as possible. After all, the future World Cup qualifiers are equally crucial.
