Chinese Super League
Behind the lifting of the ban
On the morning of April 24, China's 99-year-old U23 national football team won 2-0 in a warm-up match before disbandment, winning Changchun Yatai 2-0. The most concerned about the game is probably the U23 national football team with the support of 5 national footballers, allowing the team to practice with a complete lineup for the first time. The overall effect is good, not only makes the defense more solid, but also the attack is three-dimensional.

Zhu Chenjie made the fence tighter
As we all know, Jankovic has been taking over this U23 national football team for more than three years, and has already had its own prototype, but it is a pity that zhu Chenjie, a player of the right age, has never participated in the training of this team. This time, during the period of returning to Haikou from the United Arab Emirates to be quarantined, he participated in the systematic training of the U23 national football team for the first time. As for Dai Weijun, because he is a converted player, he also joined the U23 national football team this time. What will the joining of the two bring to the U23 national football team? This is obviously a matter of concern to the outside world.
In this warm-up match, perhaps because the three overage players have only participated in a few training sessions, they are not too familiar with the overall technical tactics, plus they have been playing in the top 12 competitions before, and all aspects are in exhaustion, so for the purpose of protection, the three overage players are not arranged to start. The entire starting lineup is still a U23 age player. This also makes the performance of Zhu Chenjie and Dai Weijun particularly noteworthy.
It has to be said that in the three lines of the U23 national football players of the right age, the center-back position is the strongest configuration, whether it is Jiang Shenglong, Wu Shaocong or Zhu Chenjie, it can be said that it is the best three central defenders in this age group, so Yankovic directly adopted the "343" formation from the beginning, rather than using the "442" or "433" formation like the Dubai Cup, I am afraid that I hope to be able to send all three of the best central defenders to the battle as much as possible. Moreover, in the arrangement of these three central defenders, Wu Shaocong and Zhu Chenjie were on the left and right sides, and Jiang Shenglong was behind. Because under normal circumstances, Zhu Chenjie has already played the main force in the national team, after the baptism of the round of 12, the role of center-back seems to be more suitable and more competent, but Yankovic arranged for his position on the right side. I am afraid that this has a lot to do with Zhu Chenjie's robbery. In the process of defense, the domestic defender blindly retreats, rather than taking the initiative to meet it, so that the other side further forces the goal. However, Zhu Chenjie is very good at grabbing in actual combat, even if he can't grab the ball, he can further get closer to the defensive distance with the opposing team, which is more conducive to defense. And Wu Shaocong also has such characteristics. So, this is where this U23 team is different from other national teams in defense. The addition of Zhu Chenjie undoubtedly makes the defense of the U23 national football team more solid.

Dai Weijun became a metronome
The role and characteristics of Dai Weijun's transition from defense to attack are more clearly visible. In the Dubai Cup, when the U23 national football team turns from defense to attack or from attack to defense, it is always a rhythm and blindly seeks speed.
However, fast and slow are relative, and while being fast, sometimes it is also necessary to be slow. The joining of Dai Weijun is precisely to make this U23 team have a rhythm change on the basis of the original "blindly seeking speed". The goal scored by Dai Weijun in the 23rd minute of the first half of the U23 national football team actually illustrates this point very well. After grabbing the ball, Dai Weijun did not immediately dispose of the ball, but first controlled the ball, attracted two players from the other side to come up and force it, and then suddenly passed to Fang Hao, who quickly distributed the ball to Tao Qianglong and then quickly inserted it. At this time, Dai Weijun did not accelerate, but maintained a certain distance behind him, waiting for his teammates to bring the ball to the big penalty area, and then inserted it forward to receive it, and did not rush to the ball after taking the ball, but suddenly took the ball laterally, and then chose to shoot. In the first half of the game, Dai Weijun's play and role in the midfield was significantly different from when playing for the national team. Perhaps, the current U23 national football players themselves are relatively young and lack experienced, or perhaps the current U23 national football team's playing style is more suitable for Dai Weijun's play.
Therefore, the joining of Dai Weijun and Zhu Chenjie has to some extent increased the overall performance of the U23 national football team by "half a grid". This is undoubtedly what everyone wants to see. If it takes a longer period of running-in, perhaps the overall effect is more obvious.

The offense is three-dimensional
In the second half, with Dai Weijun injured and replaced by Wu Xi, and then Zhang Linpeng and Zhang Yuning came off the bench, a noteworthy change was that the offensive end of the U23 national football team showed a three-dimensional effect. In particular, the cooperation of the U23 national football team in the offensive end of the midfield is obviously diversified, in addition to the existing side crosses in the past, Zhang Yuning, as a center, can break through with the ball himself, can be used as a fulcrum, knock back, and insert a shot behind the player, or a rib player inserts a shot in front of the goal, etc., and various shots continue. This proves from one side why Jankovich chose Zhang Yuning at this stage. Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that Zhang Yuning's current state is still good.
During the Dubai Cup, due to the injury of high school striker Shan Huanhuan and Guo Tianyu's going to Europe, the type of striker in the U23 national football team is relatively single, so the entire offensive routine is simpler. This has a lot to do with staffing. But after Zhang Yuning joined, there was a basis for change. And Wu Xi sits in the midfield, Zhang Linpeng plays the center back position on the right side of the three defenders, and from time to time inserts into the attack launch, which makes the U23 national football team appear more mature, so there are more changes. And this also shows the role of over-aged players.
Of course, one of the things that has to be said is that several overage players, after following the U23 national football team to four training sessions, privately said: "It has not been a long time since such a large number of training sessions have been conducted!" "This reflects the quality of training of the U23 national football team. Assuming that these over-aged players can normally keep up with a large number of training sessions of the U23 national football team on the existing basis, further strengthen their physical fitness, and may play a greater role. In terms of individual skills, personal ability and game experience, these veteran players are definitely above the young U23 players, but because the overall training level and training quality of Chinese football in the past period of time are not high, the situation shown in the competition is not ideal.
I hope that the U23 national football team will make a breakthrough and achieve results in this regard, so that the level of chinese football training can be raised to a higher level. This may also be the reason why the outside world is now pinning hopes on this U23 national football team.
War Report
U23 national football team 2 to 0 Yatai
Dai Weijun scored first in the half
After the end of the western expedition with the national football team, the U23 national football team has been training normally in the Mission Hills base in Haikou, and the two U23 age players in the national team, Zhu Chenjie and Dai Weijun, have followed the team from the beginning, while the three over-age players Zhang Linpeng, Wu Xi and Zhang Yuning have only followed the team to participate in the last four days of training. Considering that there is still a process of running-in between the three overage players and the whole team, coach Jankovic did not arrange for the three overage players to start in this game. The 11 players who started were all U23 players, including Zhu Chenjie and Dai Weijun.
In this match, the U23 national football team lined up the 343 formation, no. 2 Wu Shaocong, no. 6 Jiang Shenglong, no. 26 Zhu Chenjie as the three center-backs, No. 17 Xu Haofeng, No. 16 Dai Weijun, No. 19 Huang Jiahui and No. 21 He Yupeng as midfielders; No. 7 Tao Qianglong, No. 20 Fang Hao and No. 14 Chen Guokang as the three forwards. Among them, Wen Jiabao and goalkeeper Huang Zihao were injured and sat in the stands to watch the game, while other players sat on the bench, including three overage players. The Yatai team also sent a 343 formation, in addition to the center-back Okkel, several other foreign aides have not been able to play, which also makes the overall strength of the Yatai team affected to a certain extent.
After the start of the game, the U23 national football team still launched the front court pressing and counterattacking on the spot as before. The Yatai team has warmed up with the U23 national football team many times, so it has been prepared for a long time and has not let the opponent take too much advantage. Moreover, from time to time in the game, the U23 national football team implemented a frontcourt pressing tactic, which caused the opponent to encounter a lot of trouble in the organization of the backcourt. To the 10th minute, the U23 national football team played a very beautiful offensive cooperation, making full use of the width of the stadium, first from the left side to the right, and then the right side and then the big foot diagonal pass to the left, no. 17 Xu Haofeng inserted the ball and then reversed the triangle pass, unfortunately, the three U23 national football players from the left, center and right three ways of wrapping up failed to touch the ball, missed the opportunity to take the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field, but the entire team's offensive line is very clear.
After that, the two sides continued to fight each other. By the 23rd minute, after Picking up the ball at the back, Dai Weijun passed it forward to Fang Hao on the left side, who after a two-on-one match with Tao Qianglong, Tao Qianglong broke forward along the side, and Dai Weijun followed close behind, and Tao Qianglong knocked the ball back to Dai Weijun. The latter got the ball and cut inside, dribbled laterally, and then suddenly stopped, a small but extremely angled shot, so that the Yatai goalkeeper could not save, the ball from the lower right corner of the Yatai team's gate into the net, 1-0! The U23 national football team took the lead.
After leading, the U23 national football team played even better, in the 32nd minute, the team launched a counterattack, and Dai Weijun, who had the opportunity to score twice in a single-handed manner, but faced the goalkeeper who attacked the other side, regrettably shot the ball directly into the arms of the Yatai goalkeeper, failing to help the U23 national football team expand the score. However, after the end of the first half, Yatai took advantage of the opportunity of the left corner to grab the nod and rush to the top, and U23 national goalkeeper Han Jiaqi made a wonderful save to ensure that the goal was not lost. Throughout the first half of the game, Yatai failed to get a single shot on goal in the athletic battle, only completing three shots through three corner kicks.
In the first half, the U23 countries were enough to lead 1-0.
Three overage players have appeared one after another
After the easy side, the U23 national football team did not rush to make a substitution, but continued to use the first half of the battle method to attack the opponent, no. 7 Tao Qianglong also received a teammate in the 50th minute after breaking through the side and crossed, got a good chance to shoot, but unfortunately failed to break the goal.
By the 8th minute, Dai Weijun fell to the ground in a scramble with the opposing players in the front. For protection, Yankovich directly replaced Dai Weijun with Wu Xi. This substitution is a counter-substitution, and the overall formation of the U23 national football team remains unchanged. After that, Yatai also stepped up its attack, especially to further strengthen the midfield interception and directly fight with the U23 national football team, gradually gaining more opportunities. In the 12th minute, Yatai first completed the shot through a combination, and Han Jiaqi saved the ball out of the bottom line. Later, yatai team won a corner kick and a free kick opportunity in the front court, but none of them worked. Before the U23 national football team made another substitution, the Yatai team once took the initiative, and because the body was still stronger than the U23 players after all, it was in the upper hand in the confrontation.
In the 18th minute, Jankovic replaced No. 9 Zhang Yuning, No. 5 Zhang Linpeng, two overagers, and No. 11 Sun Qinhan. Although the U23 national football team continues to use the 343 formation, the position of many players has changed, like Zhang Linpeng playing as a right center back after his appearance, while the original central defender Jiang Shenglong was pushed to the midfield, playing a defensive midfield position, strengthening the interception and defense of the midfield.
The appearance of three over-aged players has significantly strengthened the overall strength of the U23 national football team, and has gradually regained the initiative on the field, like Wu Xi, who got a good opportunity to expand the score just 4 minutes after the appearance, and unfortunately failed to seize the opportunity. By the 32nd minute, Jiang Shenglong took the ball forward after getting the ball in the middle of the road, saw that the other side did not have a player to rush forward to grab the defense, directly started to shoot long-range, the ball hit the goal lintel and bounced down, the No. 11 Sun Qinhan, who had already entered the penalty area, seized the opportunity to make up for it, and picked up the back goalpost, and the ball entered the net from the lower right corner of the Yatai team's goal, expanding the score to 2-0.
This goal also basically locked in the victory of the U23 national football team. In the subsequent matches, although the Yatai team continued to change players, the U23 national football team also continued to control the initiative on the field through substitutions. The performance of the three over-aged players in the game also played a very good role, especially center Zhang Yuning, who repeatedly made the ball for his teammates, making the attack of the U23 national football team more three-dimensional. Although they failed to continue scoring, the offensive effect of the entire team has changed greatly from before.
The whole game was over, and the U23 countries were enough to win 2-0. At this point, the 99-year-old U23 national football team has completely ended this training. After the whole team returned to the hotel, it was officially disbanded, and according to the different epidemic prevention policies and requirements of various places, the players returned to the local teams one after another to prepare for the upcoming new season of the league.
