On March 29, Beijing time, the Chinese U23 national team conceded two goals in the second half of the second half of the second place in the third place competition, and finally lost 0-3. The U23 national team once played some matching to hit the crossbar, but missed the goal and eventually finished fourth.
The biggest task of the U23 national team, which is dominated by players born in 1999 and 000, is the Asian Games in Hangzhou this year, and it is more embarrassing that this team has not played a formal warm-up match due to the epidemic and other reasons, and this Dubai Cup is the first time that Yankovic has coached this team for more than 2 years to play against an Asian team.
In the first game, the Chinese U23 national team lost 0-1 to the UAE U23 national team, and that game let us see the gap, from individual technology to the overall technical and tactical level, they were suppressed by the opponent.
In the race for the third place, our U23 lads once again encountered the opponent of the first game, the United Arab Emirates, and after the previous confrontation, the Chinese U23 national football lads had a stronger desire to fight.
The first 30 minutes of the first half of the game were more difficult, the opponent's technical ability did have an advantage, and the possession rate was higher, but from the 30th minute onwards, the Chinese lads gradually had more attacks.
In the second half of the game, the Chinese team and the young men were very well executed in front of the field, once using continuous suppressed shots to hit the crossbar, and the continuous supplementary shots unfortunately failed to score.
Jankovic did not want to "go" to play, so the Chinese U23 national team played more openly in the second half, but in the end, it was regrettable that stealing chickens could not be eroded, and conceded 2 goals in stoppage time, losing 0-3.
In the first two games, we can see that although the Chinese U23 lads have no advantage in the ball, they always follow the way of playing from the front court in the process of defense, even if the defense is also aggressive and purposeful, which is more aggressive than the national team's tactics, of course, to a certain extent, the Dubai Cup is just a warm-up game, not too afraid of losing.
On the other hand, the U23 national team will not be conservative when there is an offensive opportunity, and Tao Qianglong and Sun Qinhan after Fang Hao are also more resolute.
The overall strength of this U23 national team is not strong, but from The tactics of Jankovic are more open and more positive, this style of play may not necessarily get good results, but a more open way of playing is conducive to the progress of players, if only in order not to lose or lose less and choose to shrink defense is not conducive to the progress of these relatively young players.
Objectively speaking, this 0-3 is much better than the 0-1 when they first met, at least the opportunity is really created.
