On March 26th at 11:00am, our soccer team will meet New Zealand in their second match. The first match ended with a score of 11-10, and New Zealand's 0-0 result was regrettable, but our team still harbors the desire to win. Coach Yang Kovic revealed that there will be some personnel adjustments in this match, and Sun Guowen, who failed to appear before, is expected to make his national team debut.
Three years later, our soccer team embarked on another journey for an important warm-up match. New coach Jankovic led the team for the first time since he took over. Facing the Oceania powerhouse New Zealand, our team showed strong athleticism in the second half with a score of 11-10. If the first-team players can seize the opportunity, our team is expected to win.
On the morning of the 26th, our team will start the second match in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. In the pre-match press conference, Yankovic, although slightly regretting the result of the first match, recognized the team's fighting spirit and expressed satisfaction with the intensity and rhythm of the physical confrontation.
Talking about the upcoming matches, Jankovic said that there will be personnel rotation and new faces will appear on the field. In the first match, Taishan's Liu Yang and Liu Binbin started the match, while Chen Pu came on as a substitute and made his debut for the national team. Despite Liu Binbin's poor performance, Chen Pu and Liu Yang's performance was noteworthy.
Sun Guowen and Wang Dalei failed to get a chance to play in the first match. Sun Guowen is expected to make his national team debut in the second match, after his bright performance in the warm-up matches. Wang Dalei's chances of playing are doubtful, while Yan Junling's starting position is solid. It is intriguing to see whether Yang Kovic will give Wang Dalei a chance.
Our national soccer Asian Games team will also start the game on the 26th at 7:30 a.m. The first game was 0-2 against the young opponents. The team's performance was ridiculed by some fans. In this rematch, it is hoped that the young players will have a breakthrough.
Unfortunately, these two games were not broadcast live in our country and fans had to watch them through other means.
