After the national football team finished the competition in the round of 12, it returned to the five-star hotel to recuperate and wait for the order to return to China on the charter flight. But at the same time, their little brother U23 team is still seizing the last opportunity to warm up against the local high-level team, this time they found the local Liwa FC club in the United Arab Emirates to compete, and finally won 3-0 in the Olympic Games, and returned triumphantly.
You know, this time the national Olympic team and the national football team went out together, for the Dubai Cup competition mission, the group stage of the national Olympic team 1-1 and the United Arab Emirates draw, and then defeated Thailand 4-2, but in the final of the third and fourth place still lost 0-3 to the United Arab Emirates, which made Jankovic's team very unconvinced. Therefore, although it is about to return home, the national Olympic team is still eager to prove itself in the game and run into the lineup, this time Liwa FC can come to meet the game, it is also a big surprise for the national Olympic Team, and the final 3-0 score is also gratifying.
According to reports, this warm-up SaiYankovic adopted the most popular high-level pressing tactic in today's football, that is, after losing the ball, the players must complete the first high-intensity pressing in the front court, which is very challenging to the physical fitness of the players, and there must be a good tacit understanding between teammates, otherwise only one person grabbing is ineffective, and it must be pressed on a line at the same time to be effective. You know, the current daytime temperature in West Asia is still relatively hot, and the body temperature will reach 30 degrees Celsius under the sunlight, and it is not easy for the players to resolutely implement Jankovic's tactics.
In this game, the 21-year-old midfielder rising star Cai Mingmin staged a good play of two yuan, and then the same 21-year-old Huang Jiahui scored a winning goal, and finally the team won the opponent by 3 goals, which also eliminated the players' depressed feelings of the 0-3 defeat to the UAE U23 in the last round, and successfully concluded the trip to West Asia. So far, Jankovic has played a total of 5 games in Dubai, with a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, which can be said to have surprises, especially the discovery of star players such as Fang Hao, which is a player who is expected to be selected for the national football team and succeed Wu Lei in the future.
In contrast, the national football team's journey to West Asia this time is much bleaker, and the 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia is the only highlight moment, thanks to the opponent's intention to release water in the case of early qualification. The last 0-2 defeat to Oman is surprising, and now the national football team can not even play vietnam and Oman once looked down on other teams, and the prospects of the World Preliminary Tournament after the next expansion are still not optimistic. After the end of these two matches, the national football team did not have the idea of looking for a warm-up opponent again, but always took it to rest in a five-star hotel, and did not know what they were doing every day.
It can be said that the game of the National Olympic U23 has given fans a new hope. As the main team of the future national football team, the national Olympic Team is a team with potential, not to mention the European youth experts such as Jankovic, whose strength is far above Li Xiaopeng and others. It can only be said that this trip to West Asia is the national Olympic players who have retained a fig leaf for the national football team, if there is no two victories of the national Olympic Games, I am afraid that fans will not even see the hope of future Chinese football.
