On March 31, our men's soccer team played a warm-up match in Shanghai against Henan Songshan. For this event, the national soccer team aimed to simulate the upcoming World Qualification match against the Philippines, tailoring a practical exercise. In the end, with goals from Ackerson and Zhang Xizhe, the national soccer team earned a crucial 2-0 victory over their opponents.
Judging from the results, the national soccer team has shown remarkable strength despite the absence of some key players due to injuries. Under the leadership of Coach Li Tie, the national football team has won seven consecutive warm-up matches and has an impressive record. The goal of the national football team is to try to win all four matches in order to rush into the World Qualification Asian Zone 12.
However, the national soccer team still exposed a lot of problems in the game. For example, a goal came from a penalty kick by Exxon, and in the 2019 World Qualifier, Wu Lei had repeatedly encountered shoves and fouls from the Philippines, but the referee did not make a penalty. Such goals do not fully reflect the strength of the national football training team. But overall, the possibility of the national football team to enter the World Qualification Asian Zone 12 is still very high, and the warm-up matches will help improve the overall strength of the team.
Our players are often frustrated by unfair refereeing decisions in intercontinental and world tournaments, which has a lot to do with the national soccer team's understanding and application of the rules of the game. Japanese and South Korean teams are more skillful in applying the rules, which is worthwhile for national football players to learn from. Before the big game, the national soccer team should not only improve the strength of the team, but also strengthen the players' understanding of the rules of the game.
In addition to the application of rules, the team cohesion of the national soccer team also needs to be strengthened. Although the match against Henan Songshan could not be compared to the world's top tournament, the national football team only relied on Zhang Xizhe's goal to score in regular time, in addition to penalty kicks, which reflects the team's performance in the attacking end of the game is still not good enough. In a game like the World Qualifier, opponents won't let go of any chances easily, and the national soccer team must capitalize on every attacking opportunity.
The current problems of the national football team need Li Tie's coaching team to strengthen the team's overall cohesion. Soccer is a sport that emphasizes teamwork, and Li Tie's coach needs to strengthen the teamwork ability of the national football team. In the fight against the strict defense of the opponent, the national football players need to train how to tear the opponent's defense, at the same time pay attention to the defensive end of the opponent can not leave any opportunity to take advantage of. This also requires Li Tie coaching team itself also need to continuously improve the strength.
The main purpose of the match against Henan Songshan was to test the tactical coordination and the cracking of the Philippines' common formations. The players showed a good warm-up in the match, but there is still a gap compared to the high level matches such as the World Preliminaries. The national football team failed to achieve more scores when they regarded Henan Songshan team as an imaginary enemy, which is also a problem that the national football team needs to reflect and solve. It is believed that Li Tie coaching team can lead the team to break into the World Qualification Asian Zone 12 with four wins.
