On November 20, China hosted Japan in the 6th round of Group C of the 18-team tournament, but lost 1-3 in the match. After the match, veteran commentator Zhan Jun analyzed the highlights of the match.
Zhan Jun said that the national football team suffered three consecutive defeats at the beginning of the 18-team tournament, and the situation was once worrisome, worrying whether the team would fall into the predicament of frequently changing coaches. However, in recent matches, the national football team has shown a wealth of tactical changes in the offensive end, and the combination of long and short playing styles has made the opponents defenseless. The team went all out with high intensity pressing, and the morale improved significantly. At the same time, those new stars who have been outstanding in the Chinese Super League have been practiced on the stage of the national team, growing rapidly and increasing their self-confidence. In this group, except for Japan, the remaining five teams have a negligible difference in points, and the situation is so confusing that no team has absolute certainty. Under such circumstances, Zhan Jun reminded everyone not to take any opponent lightly, but to fight for every point, one game at a time!
