According to the Daily News revelation, the Chinese men's soccer team has quietly departed for Thailand yesterday evening after completing the ultimate domestic preparation for the first match of the World Cup qualifier. The trip to Thailand, the confidentiality of the work is particularly thorough, the head coach Yankovic only arranged an official training, even if it is a positional ball practice, but also only virtual, difficult to see the whole picture.
Sources say the Chinese team has departed from Shenzhen and flown directly to Bangkok to kick off their 13th World Cup ticket chase. Coach Jankovic was tight-lipped about his strategy for the match against Thailand on the 16th. It is reported that today's acclimatization activities are designed to allow players to quickly adapt to the local climate and pitch conditions, and there is not much new in terms of tactics. After this match, the fate of the Chinese team may change drastically. Since the 11th, the Chinese team has started special training. In these training sessions, the focus is on localized pressing and the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions. Coach Jankovic has carefully designed the training program and emphasized the need for his players to enforce tactical discipline, which comes from the valuable experience of the warm-up matches. The end of the Chinese Super League (CSL) season has left the national team players generally tired, and some of the players have suffered injuries, resulting in the Chinese team not experiencing high-intensity training during the preparation period in Shenzhen, and not having a full-field simulation match. Due to the lack of battle tests, it is not yet possible to determine whether Coach Yang's tactics are effective or not. Facing the rival South Korea in the same group, the first match between China and Thailand is crucial, and any mistake may lead to passivity. Therefore, the coach of the tactical confidentiality is extremely important, for many days to implement the closed training, to ensure that the details of the training is not leaked. 14 morning, the Chinese team in the Shenzhen Grand Olympic Center of the outside field review of the training content. In view of the difficulty of guaranteeing the confidentiality of the training away from home, today only arranged a stepping on the field training, aimed at letting the players find the feeling and state. Positioning ball training is also only a bluff, do not intend to fully expose the real tactical layout, aimed at giving the opponent unexpected blow.
