National football training
Small victory U23
The Chinese men's national football team, which is preparing for the game in Haikou, played the last warm-up match with the 99-year-old U23 national football team today (15th) afternoon before the western expedition. With one goal each from Liu Yang and Gao Tianyi in the second half, Guo enough to win the "little brother" 2-0. However, in this game, the "little brother" U23 national football team lost, but it seems to be more impressive.
Because of the need to prepare for the Round of 12 and the Dubai Cup, the Chinese men's national football team and the U23 national football team began to train in Haikou on the same day, and because before the training began, the coaching teams of the two sides have agreed to carry out a "civil war", which has also aroused the interest of many fans, after all, over the years, the two highest-level teams of the Chinese men's football team have rarely trained in one place, and it is even more rare to conduct internal teaching competitions between each other, and the last time the two teams met was more than 10 years ago. Therefore, the attention of this game is probably needless to say.
Before this warm-up match, the national football team has already played two warm-up matches with Changchun Yatai team; while the U23 national football team has previously agreed on a warm-up match because of the change of opponent, so only this warm-up match with the national football team is left. Of course, in comparison, the U23 national football team's trip to West Asia is only to participate in the international warm-up competition and prepare for the Asian Games, so the relative pressure is less. Moreover, because the U23 national football team is relatively close to the Europeanization and pursues a more modern football playing style, one of the hopes of the national football team before this western expedition is to have a high-quality warm-up opponent, and the U23 national football team is also considered to be a relatively quality opponent, at least better than many Chinese League A clubs that are also preparing in Haikou. Therefore, he made a special appointment with the U23 national football team before the expedition.
Since the national football team has already played two warm-up matches, the coaching staff is also trying to find the best combination when selecting the starting lineup of this game, or more bluntly, it is close to the starting lineup of the future Battle of Zhongsha for running-in and drilling. It is understood that the starting lineup of the national football team is still based on the "343" formation, the goalkeeper is still Yan Junling; the three center-backs are Zheng Zheng, Zhu Chenjie and Zhang Linpeng; the two wing players on both sides are Liu Yang and Gao Zhunyi; the two middle players in the midfield are Xu Xin and Liao Lisheng; and on the front line, the center forward is replaced by Tan Long, and the two wingers are Liu Binbin and Dai Weijun. This starting lineup is obviously basically the same as the lineup that appeared in the first half of the second warm-up match with Changchun Yatai, only the position of center Zhang Yuning was changed. This may be the prototype of the starting lineup of the national football team in the round of 12 in the future.
The Chinese 99-year-old U23 national football team may be in order to cooperate with the national football drill, in this warm-up match, a "4231" formation was arranged, and in the past, the U23 national football team used more 343 formations. Of course, the current U23 national football team can often switch between these two different formations. In the first half of the game, head coach Jankovic first arranged the goalkeeper Han Jiaqi; the four defenders were Wen Jiabao, Huang Jiahui, Wu Shaocong and Xu Haofeng; the two defensive midfielders were Di Li and Xu Yue, the two attacked and defended, the latter was more focused on the offensive organization; because the center Shan Huanhuan was injured and would be absent, the U23 national football team arranged Fang Hao to be the center forward, while Sun Qinhan, Tao Qianglong and Yi Xuchen swam behind him. It should be noted that because the national team goalkeeper has called in four people this time, Han Jiaqi is still difficult to become the main force in the national team for the time being, so he temporarily returned to the U23 national football team before the game.
After the start of the game, the Chinese U23 national football team resolutely implemented the head coach's front court high pressure and on-the-spot counterattack as soon as it came up, which is actually the current common tactics used by the Asian powers, and more importantly, the U23 young players are obviously more scrappy and more eager to perform, after all, they are more able to show themselves in front of the "Big Brother" and challenge the opponent. The national football team rarely encounters such opponents and playing styles in China, so although it is more experienced and older, it is still a little tight under the impact of the young players on the other side. Therefore, the two sides come and go, and the national football team does not have much advantage. Throughout the first half, the two sides made a 0-0 draw.
After the easy side, the U23 national football team completely changed a set of lineups, after all, the team has not arranged a warm-up match during the Haikou training camp, the coaching staff still hopes to let all players play against "Big Brother", feel the atmosphere of the game, of course, but also to meet the young players' "addiction" idea. Therefore, after the second half began, Peng Peng replaced Han Jiaqi as goalkeeper, and the back line was replaced by Su Shihao, Wang Xianjun, Jiang Shenglong and Ye Lijiang; Chen Xiao and Cai Mingmin were defensive midfielders, and the configuration was also one defense and one attack, and Chen Xiao was more defensive; Liu Zhurun, the "jumping student" of the Shanghai Harbor Team, was the center forward, and He Yupeng, Abdul Meat Su Li and Chen Guokang were active behind them. Almost halfway through, goalkeeper Huang Zihao replaced Peng Peng, and Zhang Jiansheng, who was later recruited, also got the opportunity to play in the end.
Compared with the first two warm-up matches, the national football team basically changed a set of lineups in the second half, and when the U23 national football team was played this time, although the personnel also changed a lot after half-time, more international footballers tried to adapt to the high pressure of the U23 national football team and the on-the-spot counterattack after losing the ball, but it was not a substitution at the same time.
Perhaps due to the appearance of the old international, he is more able to adapt to the playing style of different opponents very quickly. The U23 national football team is still relatively young in comparison, and there are still deficiencies in experience and handling the ball, so in the 75th minute, Liu Yang took the lead in taking advantage of a free kick in the front field to break the deadlock on the field for the national football team. Of course, this also has to be said that after the national team ended the first warm-up match with Yatai, it began to strengthen the training of set-pieces in training, and Liu Yang's goal can also be said to be a manifestation of the training results.
In injury time, the national football team completed the assist by Wu Xi in a frontcourt cooperation, and Gao Providence inserted it to complete the shot, helping the national football team expand the score to 2-0. In the end, the national enough team won the warm-up match 2-0. Despite the good scores, the internationals did not seem to be very happy with the coaching staff in this game. Of course, the coaching staff is more concerned about the injuries of the players, such as Zhu Chenjie, Tan Long, etc. in this warm-up game have different degrees of injuries, it is likely to make the Western Expedition personnel variable. For the U23 national football team, whether it is this time against the national team, or during the previous training period, it is not the first time that the goal has been conceded in the last minute, and head coach Jankovic has repeatedly stressed this issue, but unfortunately, the U23 national football team still has such an old problem. This is indeed a bit disappointing.
According to the arrangement, on the afternoon of the 17th of this month, the Chinese men's national football team will take a flight to the United Arab Emirates together with the U23 national football team and begin to sprint for the final competition.
