As we enter the prologue of November, the Chinese men's soccer team will embark on their first World Cup qualifying campaign, where they will take on the third and fourth ranked opponents. In Asia, the Chinese men's soccer team finished 11th in the second-tier world qualifying field. What is noteworthy is that under Kovic's leadership, this national team has shown unique strengths in teamwork and cohesion. If they can construct the strongest lineup in the qualifiers and give it their all, with the help of naturalized players, the Chinese men's soccer team is fully capable of breaking into the World Cup arena and competing with the top teams in Asia.
The national team's potential has yet to be fully tapped in preparation for the World Cup qualifiers. For example, Jankovic found rising stars such as Lin Liangming and Chen Pu during the warm-up matches in June. Wu Lei and Ekson remain the pillars of the national team's forward line. Looking back at the last 12 matches of the last qualifying tournament, China drew 1-1 with Saudi Arabia and Australia, but with the strongest lineup, we did not lose to Asia's No. 1 team. However, the current national team is still facing some challenges, and the young players need to accumulate experience.
Taking the U24 national team as an example, Tao Qianglong, born in 2001, has been eye-catching in both midfield and offense. In addition, midfielders such as Dai Weijun, Wu Shaocong and Zhu Chenjie are also worthy of attention. They urgently need to accumulate experience through international tournaments such as the Asian Games. After the Asian Games, players with excellent performance are expected to join the national team, thus promoting the overall upgrade of the national team.
At the same time, the FA actively organizes national teams at all levels to train abroad and invites Asian teams to warm up in China. the U22 Olympic Games and Uzbekistan, and the U24 national team and the Asian Games in South Korea have all conducted warm-ups. The national team is no exception, Yankovic not only in the domestic league personally selected players, but also in each training implementation of high-intensity, high confrontation training, in order to improve the team's cohesion.
By increasing the number of warm-up matches, the national team can not only improve cohesion, but also enhance tactical execution. Soccer matches are not simply a matter of the strongest team winning over the weakest, the tactical layout is equally crucial. In the upcoming third and fourth rounds of matches, the national team has a clear advantage, especially the warm-up with Palestine, which highlights the huge gap with their opponents. Although the national team lost the home field advantage in the last 12 matches of the qualifiers, it is clear that we are confident of getting more chances in the tournament.
The national team should not be underestimated when facing third-tier opponents such as Vietnam. If we can face them with the strongest squad, Vietnam is not unbeatable. And to make it to the World Cup, we have to face the number one team in Asia, and the support of naturalized players is crucial. We look forward to the Chinese men's soccer team's brilliant achievements in their future journey.
