CCTV broadcast the opening game of the national football team, the three strong reinforcements returned healthily, and the probability of a good start in the defensive restructuring is not small
At present, with the end of the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup, Chinese football has entered the national team time. Under the leadership of head coach Jankovic, in a few days, a new round of preparation for the Chinese men's football team will begin. The national football team will first assemble in Shanghai, and then will travel to the United Arab Emirates for more than 20 days of preparation. During the preparation period, the national football team will play warm-up matches with Oman and India. This national football training camp is to prepare for the 2023 Asian Cup to be held in Qatar. In this Qatar Asian Cup, CCTV will broadcast the whole game of the national football team. Judging from the opponents in the first match of the Asian Cup, the probability of the national football team getting off to a good start is not small.
The three major reinforcements of the national football team have returned healthily
Injuries are an inevitable situation for a team, and the national football team is no exception. Before this training camp, the national football team has played two World Cup qualifiers in the Asian round of 36. The first game was a 2-1 win against Thailand, and the second game was a 0-3 loss at home to South Korea. With 4 goals conceded in two games, there is no doubt that the backline of the national football team is indeed not enough to see. In fact, there is room for improvement in the back line of the national football team. Because in these two games, there are two defenders who have been affected by injuries and did not participate in these two games, they are Jiang Guangtai and Li Shuai, the core of the national football team. And this time the national football training camp, according to the relevant domestic media, Jiang Guangtai and Li Shuai have both returned from injury and returned healthy and will participate in this training camp. In addition to Jiang Guangtai and Li Shuai, the two defenders, Wang Qiuming, a midfielder, will also return in this training camp. In this way, the national football team has three players, Jiang Guangtai, Li Shuai and Wang Qiuming, returned healthy.
CCTV live broadcast, can the national football team get off to a good start
In fact, this Asian Cup was originally held in China. However, due to special reasons at that time, the Chinese Football Association finally chose to give up the right to host this Asian Cup. China's abandonment of hosting, to be honest, did have an impact on the work of the AFC to a certain extent, making the AFC very passive. Therefore, some media warned Chinese football that the AFC would not give Chinese football a good face. In fact, Chinese football has suffered a lot in matters such as the two world preliminaries, the AFC Champions League of the Chinese Super League and the draw for the U23 Asian Cup.
After Qatar took over the Asian Cup, the Chinese team changed from the original seeded team to the second team. The Chinese team is in Group A with the hosts Qatar, Tajikistan and Lebanon. Judging from this grouping, the host Qatar team regards the Chinese team as a weak team. After all, as is customary, teams that are in a group with the hosts are generally considered to be weak. So, can the Chinese team qualify from this group? The first match against Tajikistan is particularly crucial.
This crucial first battle will also be broadcast live by CCTV. On paper, the Chinese men's football team seems to be stronger than its opponents. Although the Chinese men's football team only won one win and one loss in the first two games of the World Preliminary Tournament, and also lost to the South Korean team by three goals at home. But judging from the loss to the South Korean team, the national football team still gave fans some hope. Tajikistan's strength is not strong, and the historical results of the national football team against it are also superior. Coupled with the return of Jiang Guangtai, the core of the national football team's defense, the probability of getting off to a good start is indeed not low. However, the national Olympic team had two matches with Tajikistan not long ago, and the results were not satisfactory, only achieving one draw and one loss. Of course, the strength of this national Olympic team is already limited, and the head coach who has been criticized by fans all the time, it is normal to lose to them.
