In order to prepare for the Asian Cup, the national football team is currently training in Abu Dhabi, in order to quickly adjust the state, the national football team also played a warm-up match with the local team in the United Arab Emirates, and the national football team finally won 5-1, which is also a good start for the next few warm-up matches of the national football team.
However, the next warm-up match between the national football team and the Oman team will really test the national football team, after all, the Oman team has made rapid progress in recent years, and its strength is already stronger than the national football team, but Jankovic in order to reduce the psychological pressure on the players, there is no performance requirement for this warm-up match with the Oman team, and Jankovic does not want the players to be injured, after all, the Asian Cup is approaching, and the results in the Asian Cup will also determine whether Jankovic can continue to lead the team to play in the world preliminaries.
According to a number of media reports, the Football Association set the goal for the national football team to break into the top 8 of the Asian Cup, in this case, the national football team must first ensure that the right to qualify for the group, fortunately, the national football team drew a sign this time, and the host Qatar, Lebanon, Tajikistan in a group, according to the strength analysis, the national football team is no problem to advance to the knockout round.
But the national football team can not be careless, and at 22:30 on the evening of January 13, the national football team will usher in the first opponent of the group stage, Tajikistan, it can be said that the first game is a battle of life and death, if the national football team loses to Tajikistan, not only will it lose the initiative to qualify, but it is also very likely to be out, after all, in this group, Tajikistan is the weakest, if the national football team can't even win Tajikistan, if you want to score points on Lebanon and Qatar, it will obviously be more difficult.
And now it seems that the national football team is likely to encounter "off-board moves" and be treated unfairly by the AFC, you know, this Asian Cup was originally hosted by China, but because of other reasons, as well as Du Zhaocai's inaction, the Football Association finally gave up the right to host, resulting in the AFC is very passive, and the AFC can only let Qatar host this Asian Cup, therefore, it is not excluded that the national football team will be "special care" by the AFC.
Of course, everything on the football field must speak with strength, you must know that whether it is the Asian ranking or the historical record, the national football team is stronger than Tajikistan, plus the main center of the national football team Zhang Yuning, and Lin Liangming are all in full swing, and they have scored goals in the warm-up match that has just ended, so the hope of the national football team to defeat Tajikistan is still very great.
If nothing else, Jankovic will play offensive football in this game, so that Zhang Yuning, Wu Lei, Lin Liangming form a front trident, in order to grab the start, in view of the importance of this game, CCTV 5 sets will also be broadcast live, whether Jankovic can usher in a good start, whether Zhang Yuning can carry the banner of the national football offense, everyone wait and see!
