Last night, I originally wanted to watch the live broadcast of the national Olympic team (U23 national football), but I accidentally fell asleep in bed. Until I suddenly woke up, I found that it was one o'clock in the morning (the game started at zero o'clock), and I just missed the first half of the game, but I watched the whole game in the second half, so I had a certain say.
The final score was a 1-0 defeat to host UAE, and overall, I was not satisfied with the match, but it was acceptable, because there was no expected "defeat".
Coach Jankovic has been taking over this national Olympic team for two or three years, and has been coaching since the national youth period, and there is still a certain confidence in this team. However, Jankovic also has his difficulties, that is, these two or three years, just a few years of the epidemic raging, resulting in the national Olympic team does not have much actual combat experience at all, and does not know the degree of running-in of the players.
It wasn't until a few days ago against a local club in the United Arab Emirates that the outside world had a preliminary view of this national Olympic team. The live broadcast against the UAE made us more intuitive.
Well, without further ado, let's talk directly about my views on this national Olympic team: after watching the entire second half, the impression given to me by the national Olympic team is that I dare to fight and dare to grab, but the details are not handled well enough, that is, the personal skills of the players need to be strengthened.
First of all, most of the players of the national Olympic team are familiar to me, they have begun to emerge in the Chinese Super League in recent years, such as goalkeeper Han Jiaqi, defender Wu Shaocong, Jiang Shenglong, Wen surnamed Youngster, midfielder Liu Zhurun and so on. But the closer to the frontcourt, many players I have no impression, that is, the strength of the national Olympic team's backcourt is still OK, but the frontcourt is not.
The game screen is also the same as I said, the national Olympic backcourt organization is still decent, but once it runs to the front court, it is very easy to concede goals, and it is difficult to have a threatening attack, and it is easily wasted.
So at this time, most fans, including the commentator, thought that if Dai Weijun, Guo Tianyu and other age-appropriate players were on the field, the performance of the national Olympic team in attack would not be much better. This is indeed a place worth looking forward to, because the level of players such as Dai Weijun and Guo Tianyu is indeed much higher than that of their peers, and their joining will bring qualitative improvement to the national Olympic team.
We all know that the "ultimate goal" of this national Olympic team is to hold the Hangzhou Asian Games on the mainland. Historically, the best result of the national Olympic team in the Asian Games was in the 1994 Hiroshima Asian Games, when the national football team (at that time, it was not divided into national football and national Olympic Games) won the second place. Since then, Chinese football has deteriorated, never playing in the final of the Asian Games, and the best result in the last three Asian Games is 9th.
This time, Yangkovic led the team, with the help of Dai Weijun, Guo Tianyu, Zhu Chenjie, Tao Qianglong, Han Jiaqi, Hou Yongyong (if you can participate), plus the advantages of the host, I don't know if the National Olympic Games will make a breakthrough, let's wait and see.
