Yang Shuai opens the door black! 1 and a half years without a win in 9 games, 2 games with 1 goal, the first defeat to New Zealand in 33 years

Zhu Chenjie's own goal and Gabett's long-range shot gave the national team a 2-1 defeat to New Zealand. In the two matches against New Zealand, Jankovic's national football team has only 1 draw and 1 defeat, and has only scored 1 goal in 2 games. After the black start, it is clear that Yankovic still has a lot of problems to solve.

In the first meeting between the two teams, although the national football team failed to win and score, the 15 shots and 5 good chances proved that the national team did have a chance to win. This gave Jankovic confidence, and before the second leg, Jankovic said that the first thing to do was to break the window paper of the goal.

Despite Barton's late goal, the national team suffered their first defeat. New Zealand's attacking tools were more abundant than in the first leg, and after repeatedly testing Yan Junling with a long-range shot, New Zealand scored from a free kick. Of course, it was a controversial goal, with the New Zealand player in an offside position before Zhu Chenjie's header.

This was not only the first goal conceded by the national team since Jankovic took charge, but also the first goal New Zealand has scored in 361 days. What's more, it was the first time since August 24, 1990, that the national football team had lost to New Zealand, which had not beaten an Asian team since 2022.

The national football team has continued the curse of not winning, and since its victory over Vietnam in October 2021, the national football team has not won the last nine matches, only 4 draws and 5 defeats.

It is worth mentioning that the Asian Games team has twice played against the New Zealand U22 national football team, and has suffered two consecutive defeats. With nine winless games and one goal in two, Jankovic had the most difficult start. When Jankovic took office, some media people said that he may be out of class after the Asian Cup, and judging from the performance of these two games, it is still unknown whether he can survive the Asian Cup.
