0-1 to 0-3, China U23 two games against the UAE team of the same age group, although the score is larger than one, but the process depends on people to see hope, or the direction of future development. It should be known that this U23 national football team did not send a full main force this time, at least Zhu Chenjie, Guo Tianyu, Dai Weijun three main forces did not go out with the team. After watching the game, yang Tiannian, a media person, even said: The U23 national football team is eye-catching in the overall movement and pressing.
The Dubai Cup International Football Tournament is the first time that the U23 national football team has gone abroad to participate in international competitions in 2 years. So for them who lack experience in the competition, it is indeed a big challenge. The first match against host UAE U23, China U23 lost due to a corner defensive error, this loss exposed the weakness of the U23 national football team's inexperienced weakness.
After the adaptation of the first game, the second game against the Thai team, the U23 national football team quickly entered the state, and the front court was pressed to a high position, forcing the Thai players to be busy. The opponent has made many major mistakes in the whole game, which can be said to be the result of the success of the Chinese team's high-level pressing tactics. Compared with the previous walking style of the Chinese national team, the spirit of the U23 national football team in the Dubai Cup has indeed made great progress.
The third and fourth place finals once again faced the UAE, and the Chinese team once again exposed the weakness of inexperience, because of the slow entry into the state, it was grabbed by the other side to start. Moreover, the manager also made obvious mistakes in the platoon arrangement, and the right-back Xu Haofeng, who was blown up in the first leg, once again entered the starting lineup, and the facts also proved that the latter was useless.
Seeing that he had made a mistake, Jankovic resolutely corrected his mistake in the second half, replacing Xu Haofeng and Sun Qinhan with Ye Lijiang and He Yupeng respectively, replacing the entire right side. This substitution change is obvious. In the first 15 minutes of the second half, The Chinese team's attack on the right side once overwhelmed the opponent, and Ye Lijiang even hit the goalpost with one foot. Perhaps it is that the Chinese team expended too much energy when pressing the rush, so that the goal was not smooth, and it was unable to equalize the score for a long time.
In the final moments, Jankovic gambled to push centre-back Jiang Shenglong to the front to play the center forward. As a result, the Chinese team lost fire in the backyard, conceded 2 goals in a row with consecutive mistakes in the last minute, and finally lost 0-3. It can be seen that Jankovic is a very thoughtful coach, who would rather choose a positive and aggressive adventurous play when he is behind than to win a small loss that is still glorious. Such a positive guiding ideology can be said to be very conducive to the growth of young players.
For this game, media person Yang Tiannian commented that the U23 national football team at least made people shine in the overall movement and force. Because they play modern football. Moreover, the scramble defense is the way the strong team plays, at least compared to Li Tie and Li Xiaopeng's national football scenes, which are much better. According to statistics, the U23 national football team in this game created at least nearly 10 on-site counterattack opportunities through the frontcourt counterattack. Therefore, the U23 national football team has at least found its own development direction through the Dubai Cup. In the case of personal ability and passing and receiving the ball is not dominant, playing high-pressure overall football may be the real way out of Chinese football.
