With Yankovic at the helm, our men's soccer team is about to play two key international warm-up matches against Myanmar and Palestine on June 16th and 20th in Dalian. This is not only a practical exercise against the Asian Cup group stage, but also a good time to test the technical and tactical level of Yankovic's team. Previously, Yankovic led the team to meet with New Zealand, although one win and one loss, but improve the national team tactical execution, and provide young players with exercise opportunities.
It is expected that the Chinese men's soccer team will focus on fast counterattacks under the guidance of Jankovic in the warm-up matches in June. After all, domestic players are mostly honed in the local league, and there is still a gap between the top European leagues. Asia, such as Japan, South Korea and other countries players mostly in the first tier of the European league play. Therefore, in order to emerge in the Asian Cup and other major competitions, the Chinese men's soccer team should focus on fast counterattack rather than pure possession and passing.
For passing and possession to be used as an advantage in matches, players need to gain more experience in high quality matches in their daily training, or the team as a whole needs to participate in more high quality tournaments to hone their tactics. Currently, the domestic league provides a platform for the national soccer team to exercise, but it is still insufficient compared to the young echelons that train abroad en masse all year round. The flawed youth training in Chinese soccer and the lack of international students in Europe's first tier leagues has forced the men's soccer team to adjust their tactics in order to achieve success in intercontinental tournaments.
Fast attack counterattack is extremely favorable for the national soccer team to prepare for the Asian Cup. Although the core of the midfield Wu Xi is injured, young players such as Wang Shangyuan, Duan Liuyu, Yan Dinghao, and Hu Jinghang have excellent control of the midfield, and their speed and fitness will be a weapon for Jankovic's army. On the attacking end, players like Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning, Lin Liangming, Yang Liyu, Wei Shihao and Deng Hanwen are outstanding. Although the team is pushing for rejuvenation, fast counterattack and defensive counterattack tactics are more suitable.
The national team should use the warm-up matches to improve their tactical drills and attacking abilities, learn from the fast-attack counter-attack and defensive strategies of the U20 national soccer team in the U20 Asian Cup, and further hone their tactics through the warm-up matches. Under Wu Lei's leadership, the national soccer team is expected to utilize the power of fast-attack counterattack and increase the number of warm-up matches to enhance team cohesion. Looking ahead to the Asian Cup, the Chinese men's soccer team remains hopeful.
