On the evening of March 19, the Chinese men's football team embarked on a training trip to New Zealand. They will play their first official warm-up match against New Zealand on March 23rd at 2:00 p.m. Beijing time, which is also Yankovic's first show after taking over the national football team. I wonder what kind of changes this new coach will bring to this brand new national football team.
Undefeated in two warm-ups
Since taking over the national football team on March 1, Jankovic has led the team to two warm-up matches and two consecutive victories.On March 13, the national football team and Meizhou Hakka played a warm-up match at the China Football (South) Training Base. In the 35th minute, Wu Lei broke through and passed across, Lin Liangming grabbed the score in front of the goal and broke the goal, the national football team 11.:0 lead in the first half. In the second half, the national football team took the initiative to adjust the personnel in order to further examine the players and practice the tactics and playing style. The confrontation between the two sides was intense, but did not rewrite the score. Finally, the national soccer team won 1:0.
The national team is training
On March 16, the national soccer team moved to Guangzhou and played a warm-up match against Shijiazhuang Kung Fu Team at Yuexiu Mountain Stadium. In the match, Wu Lei scored twice, Sun Guowen passed on his contribution, and Lin Liangming also scored. In the end, the national soccer team would reach 4.:0 to outscore their opponents.
The national soccer team has made some tweaks and changes to its personnel compared to the first roster that was initially announced. After Ackerson was the first to leave the team due to his temporary lack of fitness, Jiang Guangtai, Ren Hang and Liu Yiming will not train with the team in New Zealand due to injuries and other reasons, but will return to their clubs to prepare for the new Chinese Super League season.
Efforts to show a new look
According to the plan, the national soccer team will play two warm-up matches against New Zealand after traveling to New Zealand. Talking about the two warm-up matches, Wu Lei said that we should first show a new spirit and then do the details emphasized by the head coach. We hope to win the game with defense.
Jankovic into the national football team has brought what changes? Wu Lei said his most intuitive feeling is that the Serbian has made stricter demands on the team's discipline, technique and tactics. "Many of Jankovic's demands are actually the most basic requirements for soccer players, both on the pitch and in life."
In addition to this, Jankovic also emphasized the attitude of the game, that is, "all the players must give their best, whether it's a friendly or a match, there is no difference in treatment". I'm sure such strict requirements include the two warm-up matches against New Zealand. Although the national soccer team is ranked higher than their opponents, if they don't score 12 points, we can't rule out the possibility of losing.
