Although it has entered December, the warm-up of the national brand is still continuing, on the one hand, it is to prepare for the competition, after the downturn, the national team is also looking to adjust, the most important thing is the results in international competitions, representing the overall level of football. On the other hand, it is currently in the offseason of the domestic third-level professional league, and the player recruitment will basically not have an impact on the club, and the national players can be fully engaged in training and games, which is conducive to the coaching staff to inspect and practice tactics. However, the best way to train tactically is to warm up games, which is one of the main reasons why the national team is actively warming up.
Due to the preparation for the Olympic preliminaries, the National Olympic Games entered the preparation plan early under the leadership of Cheng Yaodong's coaching staff, however, the team's last 3 warm-up results were not satisfactory, only 1 draw and 2 losses, and the coaching staff was under a lot of pressure. The national team warms up with the Chinese Super League club, and in general cognition, the strength of the national team is superior, but from the actual performance, at least the national Olympic team did not show a better advantage. In the latest warm-up, the National Olympic Games and the Chinese Super League third runner-up Zhejiang team met, the game process showed an overwhelming trend, the Zhejiang team firmly controlled the rhythm on the field, after 90 minutes of duel, the Zhejiang team won 4-1, obviously, the strength gap between the National Olympic and Zhejiang teams is obvious.
However, since it is a warm-up, it is more important to pay attention to the process, and the above two parties met again on December 5 to warm up. After the start of the game, the Chinese team was more active in the midfield, and took a pinch-and-grab for the foreign aid front line of the Zhejiang team, not giving the latter space to the ball, especially Evra, and the speed advantage was difficult to reflect. Based on the defensive situation, the Chinese team also began to seek offensive opportunities, after the ball was broken in the backfield, quickly through the midfield, from the two wings quickly penetrated into the opponent's penalty area, Liu Junxian was more active, soon after the opening in front of the opponent's goal to find a good opportunity, overnight, to help the Chinese team to achieve a one-goal advantage.
The third-line premise of the backward Zhejiang team, the front court is forced to grab high, and Cheng Yaodong also has coping tactics, minimizing the ball control in the backcourt, advancing quickly after breaking the ball, and counter-robbing as soon as possible after losing the ball. Under the strong attack, the Zhejiang team won a penalty, Evra took the initiative to stand in front of the goal, regretted the penalty, missed the equalizer opportunity, and finally could only accept the 0-1 result and swallow the first defeat of the two-legged warm-up.
In the context of the 4-1 victory in the first leg, the Zhejiang team lost by 1 goal in this game, the Chinese team got a long-lost victory, and it was also the first win in the last 4 warm-up games, the pressure on the coaching staff was reduced, and how to continue to maintain a good state has also become the main task of Cheng Yaodong's coaching staff, after all, the Olympic preliminaries are a series, and if the state is unstable, it is difficult to improve the results.
