National football coach Jankovic: Hoping to use friendly matches to correct problems

Dalian, June 15 (Xinhua) -- On June 15, a pre-match press conference between the Chinese men's national football team and the Myanmar team was held in Dalian. National football coach Jankovic said that he is very happy to be able to play at home, the team has trained well, and hopes to use the friendly match to correct the team's problems.

According to the schedule, the Chinese team will face the Myanmar team and the Palestinian team on June 16 and 20 at the Barracuda Bay Professional Football Stadium in Dalian. This is Jankovic's second international window since taking over, and in March he led his team to two friendly matches against New Zealand, with China with a record of one draw and one defeat.

"We want to use this opportunity to correct the problems we identified in the last loss to New Zealand. We felt the enthusiasm of the Dalian fans, everyone was ready and hoped that the team would play well. "We want to give a high-level, fast-paced game. We need to show love for the game and a desire to win. I hope everyone prepares for the game with a winning attitude. ”

Jankovic re-emphasised his selection criteria: "For me there are no new or old players, players who can be called up are because they have performed well in the league. The players have to work hard to fill in the space for their teammates and work hard. ”

National football veteran Zhang Linpeng said: "We are ready to give wonderful games to the fans who love us. As players, we don't think about before or after, we just focus on the moment, play at the level we deserve in the game and give our all. ”

Myanmar head coach Fechtenbaina said there is a certain gap between the team's strength and the Chinese team. "This time I mainly came to learn from the Chinese team, maybe in the future Myanmar players will also come to China to play." Hopefully tomorrow we can play well. ”
