Beijing time on July 20, 2022 into the second day, the Chinese selection team 0-3 loss to team
The team was also completely suppressed by their opponents, from the point of view of the ball control rate, the Korean team's ball control rate of 76%, the ball control rate of only 24%, the number of shots on goal in the game Korea reached 23 times, the Chinese team only completed a shot on goal. In the post-match conference, Yankovic believed that the team's overall performance was good in the first half before conceding the goal and fought until the last moment, and that the team's performance could not be simply denied because of the loss.
Jankovic said, "Korea is a high level team that is preparing for the tournament. We have a young team, but throughout the first half we played very well, and before the end of the first half we conceded a goal because of an unlucky run. This should be a mentality problem of the young players, and it is a normal situation. Anyway, we learned a lot today. We will prepare for the next matches as we always do. Korea is a very strong team and they deserve to win this game. We need to learn from this game and then prepare for the next games."
Asked about the effect of today's arrangement of five backs formation, Jankovic said: "Our team sometimes play three backs, sometimes four backs, mainly according to the opponent's situation, the position of the two side players change accordingly. Today, considering that the two sides of the Korean team are relatively fast and good at utilizing the width of the pitch, we specifically arranged for a five-guard, not wanting to give the opponent too much space. In the first half, I think such a formation is well executed, overall, we still have a lot of places to improve, but also can not simply deny the team's performance because of the loss."
A reporter asked if the 0-3 score was a reaction to the true strength of the two teams. Jankovic said, "It's difficult for us to have a clear statement as far as this stage is concerned. Korea has participated in the World Qualifiers for the past two years and played so many matches, while we have not played for more than two years now. I also want to attack and put enough pressure on the opponents from the beginning, but it is not simple, but it needs more accumulation. We showed a good fighting spirit in today's game and fought until the very end. When we go back, I need to rewatch and analyze the video to find out what our problems were, and then maybe we can answer the question better. We need to learn from today's game and prepare better for the upcoming game against the team. Only after that, come to think about the final round of matches."
