The World Preliminary Tournament is about to usher in a peak showdown, for the national football team, facing Saudi Arabia and Oman, if you want to win, you must occupy the time and place. In order to test the effectiveness of the players' training, the national football team specially invited the national Olympic U23 to play a warm-up match with the Chinese men's football team in Haikou recently, which is also the strongest opponent and the highest gold content before the national football team went to West Asia. The players held their breath and wanted to win the national Olympic U23 in order to punch those "Gong Hanlin" who looked down on the strength of the national football team.
In this game, the national football coach Li Xiaopeng and the national Olympic coach Yankovic competed in the same game, which attracted the attention of many fans. Previously, the two-legged match with Changchun Yatai, the national football team ended 1-1 and 5-0 respectively, Li Xiaopeng was mainly to run into the lineup, so that young players can find the feeling and opportunity to play, so the scene is not exciting. However, in this campaign against the national Olympic U23, the team's lineup has been basically run-in, not to mention that the national Olympic U23 is also a national team, the players are young and strong, and the physical advantage is stronger than that of the national footballer.
In the face of this game, Li Xiaopeng still sent a squad with young players as the team. Dai Weijun, Zhu Chenjie, Liu Yang, Deng Hanwen and other players have shown good form. In the first half of the game, the two teams fought a 0-0 draw, li Xiaopeng was obviously very dissatisfied at halftime, so in the second half of the national football team began to strengthen the attack, and finally Liu Yang used the direct free kick opportunity in the front court to directly break the goal and take a 1-0 lead for the national football team; before the end of the midfield, Gao Providence scored another goal to lock the score at 2-0, and the national Olympic U23 had no power to fight back.
Following the previous round of 5-0 victory over Changchun Yatai, this time Li Xiaopeng still won in the direct confrontation with Jankovic, it can be said that the team's state and training results have improved to a certain extent. Although this is only a warm-up game, but to win two consecutive games and maintain a clean sheet, which shows that Li Xiaopeng's tactics are relatively successful, at least in the face of opponents whose strength is almost the same as the national football team, can achieve good results, of course, the emergence of young players such as Liu Yang and Dai Weijun in these games has also made Li Xiaopeng happy.
Now that the national football team is about to board the flight to West Asia, the players can board the plane with two consecutive wins, and I believe that morale and mentality will certainly not be too bad. The so-called people fight for breath, this time the national football team is with doubts and ridicule, want to re-prove themselves in the round of 12. Being able to defeat the U23 team, which is also the national brand name, 2-0 is also a complete slap in the face of Gong Hanlin's ridicule of the national football team, and the reasoning of Feng Xiaoting and Dong Lu and others has finally awakened the fighting spirit of the national footballers, and it can be said that it is Gong Hanlin's encouragement that makes the national footballers feel ashamed and brave.
After three warm-up matches, Li Xiaopeng must have a bottom in mind for the starting lineup of the World Preliminary Tournament. In the back line, Zhu Chenjie's partner Jiang Guangtai is thunderous, two become Tong Lei and Liu Yang will be in position, midfielders Xu Xin, Dai Weijun and Duan Liuyu, frontcourt Zhang Yuning, Jin Jingdao, Liu Binbin or Wu Xinghan, such a lineup, although not competitive, but it just represents the future of Chinese football, Li Xiaopeng even if it is training, but also to ensure that this group of players can become talented, after all, the 2026 Asian World Preliminary Tournament will be crazy expansion, then is the opportunity for the national football team to impact the World Cup.
