The ongoing warm-up matches for the country's prestigious soccer teams continue. In the March schedule, the national soccer team and the Asian Games soccer team will have warm-ups at the same time, playing against the New Zealand national team and the New Zealand under-22 national team, respectively. Although the results of the matches are not satisfactory, at least the matches can be used to find out the gaps and target the improvement of offense and defense. Meanwhile, the March matches mark the resumption of the warm-up series, especially for the national soccer team. Although the national soccer team has not yet announced its specific schedule, the warm-up opponents have actually announced their itineraries and can't wait for the games to arrive.
This June, the national soccer team is up against Palestine. Meanwhile, the outside world is exploring whether the Asian Games will continue to be synchronized. After all, Jankovic and Djurdjevic are old acquaintances, and the national soccer team and the Asian Games have crossover players, so warming up together is not impossible. However, the fact is that the national soccer warm-up looking for weak opponents, victory can accumulate technical points, improve the world ranking, and try to get a better position, the Asian Games to prepare for the task is more difficult, after all, getting closer and closer to the Asian Games, the Asian Games should be looking for more strength, trying to adjust the state of affairs before the tournament.
Therefore, the Asian Games will not choose Palestine U22, but do their best to arrange matches against strong Asian teams. According to informed media reports, the Asian Games will play the South Korean Asian Games twice in June. The latter is the Asian Games champion and the Asian Games champion. This Asian Games also has the strength to compete for the title. Meanwhile both teams are dominated by 1999-age players, while the other East Asian Japan is 2001-age, as are Saudi Arabia in West Asia and Uzbekistan in Central Asia. Therefore, the Asian Games and South Korea have more warm-up value. South Korea, ranked 27th in the world, are 78 places higher than New Zealand.
As you know, South Korea is the champion of the 2014 and 2018 Asian Games, if China can draw or win the heat, it will boost confidence because it is the host, China aims to at least enter the 8 and try to influence the 4 seats, although it is difficult, but it is not without a chance as long as it prepares the result.
Besides that, Djurdjevic hasn't been coaching for long, and participating in warm-up matches will allow him to get to know his opponents better and continue to evaluate his players' performances. Considering the differences in tactics between Djurdjevic and Jankovic, it is important to choose players that fit into your tactical system as much as possible in order to get twice the result with half the effort.
