In the battle of Vietnam, the Chinese men's soccer team to 2-0 score victory, seems to be the end of the waves, but hidden in the first half and the second half of the performance of the very different mystery, thought-provoking.
In this game, Coach Jankovic's tactics and lineup adjustments were in the spotlight. He stuck to his pressing style of play and made drastic changes to his starting lineup.
In this matchup, Jankovic used Fang Hao as the backbone of his 343 system of side defense, a bold move that influenced the game to a certain extent. In addition, he surprisingly sent midfielder Wang Shangyuan to right center back, discarding Wei Zhen, a Hong Kong defender who had just been selected for the national team.
In the center of the national football team's midfield, Jankovic continued the partnership of Wu Xi and Li Ke, but Wu Xi's performance was disappointing. At the crucial moment, Jankovic replaced youngster Dai Weijun in the second half, and the young player quickly activated the midfield.
Dai Weijun came on the field and injected great energy into the midfield of the national football team. He frequently returned to the defense to receive the ball and took control of the ball with his skills. Under his organization, the national football team lifted the formation and created more chances for the forwards.
Although Dai Weijun's debut turned around the passive situation of the national soccer team, his weakness is also obvious, that is, he is too sticky on the ball. As the core of the offense, Dai Weijun should focus more on the overall situation rather than individual performance. On the offensive side, he needs to use his skills more intelligently to avoid getting trapped in the opponent's circle.
Facing Vietnam, Wu Xi's performance was frustrating. Whether it was offense or defense, he failed to play at the level he should. After coming on as a substitute in the second half, Wang Qiuming showed more vigor and confidence, and his goal was the icing on the cake.
At present, the technical and tactical level of domestic players and European and Asian powerhouses still have a gap, the national football team needs to make up for the shortcomings through relentless running and pressing. Therefore, the national football team urgently needs to revolutionize the blood, activate more young players and inject fresh energy.
In the goalkeeper and striker positions, Yan Junling and Wu Lei have been consistent and unrivaled. But in other positions, Jankovic needs to find newcomers to replace veterans in their 30s as soon as possible. Drafting Fang Hao, Jiang Shenglong, He Yupeng, Wu Shaocong, Ye Lijiang and Xie Weijun is just the beginning. I'm sure more of the league's best will be called up to the national team in the coming months...
