National Football Team UAE Training Documentary

Dec. 25 - Reporter Madsen sent a report that the national soccer team started its first confrontational training in the United Arab Emirates on the morning of Dec. 24, and head coach Jankovic was full of praise for the performance of the international players.

On the day of the training, the players' morale was high, the degree of completion was quite high, and the basic requirements of the confrontation session, such as stealing and looting, were properly executed. Particularly notable is the shooting practice, in the past the national team's shooting percentage is not high, ten shots can have three or four feet into the net is already good. However, this training, the hit rate soared, more than 50%, close to 60%. Forward players such as Lin Liangming, Zhang Yuning and Wu Lei scored almost all of their goals, despite each of them getting only six shots in their turn. Xu Haofeng earned praise from Jankovic for his eye-catching performance in the replica shooting session, where he managed to put his first three shots in the net.

Xu Xin runs laps alone on the sidelines accompanied by assistant coach Zheng Zhi during an international offense routine drill. Because he did not receive advance notice of the training, Xu Xin did not prepare adequately before the additional recruitment, resulting in a relative lack of physical fitness. After arriving at the team, he trained to run laps every day. After running laps, Xu Xin joined the last half of the confrontation training. Zhu Chenjie, due to the recurrence of an old injury, the team regarded him as a long-term development consideration and arranged for him to be alone and did not participate in the confrontation training.

Yankovic spoke highly of the attitude and performance of all the players in the training, even using the word "perfect" to describe it, and expects them to continue to maintain this state of mind in the next day's warm-up match.

It is reported that the national team will hold its first warm-up match in the United Arab Emirates this afternoon against the local second division team "Regional Sports", which is ranked eighth in the UAE's second division.
