Nine power players have been assembled for this upcoming soccer training: Wang Shangyuan, Wang Dalei, Jiang Shenglong, Zhu Chenjie, Zhang Yuning, Baihe Lamu, Xie Wenneng, Xu Haoyang, and Yang Zexiang. They had already accumulated some yellow-card warnings in the previous round of the 39-team tournament. Fortunately, FIFA adjusted the single yellow card warning for the 36-team tournament. This change allowed the national soccer team to go into the match worry-free and at full strength.
However, the Chinese team has been assigned to the highly competitive Group C, which includes Japan, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Bahrain and Indonesia, making it the "Group of Death". Nevertheless, the players do not need to carry too much psychological pressure when facing the away match against Japan. After all, the strength of the opponents is objectively slightly better, we can relax and play to their true strength.
It is worth mentioning that the new coach, Ivankovic, had led his team to a 12:0 victory over Japan on the road in the last World Qualifier's Round of 12. This glorious past has undoubtedly brought a psychological advantage for the national soccer team, and psychological hints can often play a key role at critical moments.
The game is about to enter the final five-day countdown, so let's all shout and cheer for the national football team!
