On December 29, Beijing time, the Chinese men's football team, which is preparing for the Asian Cup in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, has gradually picked up recently, showing a thriving upward trend. In the first warm-up match on arrival in the UAE, they beat the local second division regional sports team 5-1. Although the opponent's strength is limited, the national football team can penetrate the opponent's goal 5 times in one game, which still reflects the team's offensive power.
The trident on the offensive line composed of Zhang Yuning, Wu Lei, and Lin Liangming was eye-catching, and it scored 5 goals for the national football team. It is worth mentioning that the return of striker Zhang Yuning from injury has injected fresh vitality into the team. Because in Jankovic's tactics, a center who can hold the ball in the front line is needed, so as to open up gaps for dexterous and speedy strikers like Wu Lei and Lin Liangming to get space to shoot.
It can be seen from the first warm-up match of the national football team that Zhang Yuning did upgrade the team's offensive firepower after becoming the starting center. After all, Zhang Yuning's technology is more comprehensive than the veteran Tan Long. Not only does the high-altitude ball have obvious advantages, but it complements the cooperation of Wu Lei and others in ground offense, forming a good complementarity.
Looking forward to the upcoming Asian Cup in Qatar, the opponents of the national football team in the group stage include the host Qatar, the Central Asian wolf Tajikistan and the West Asian rival Lebanon. The first round opponent of the national football team is Tajikistan. Since the Tajikistan team is the weakest opponent in this group, the national football team wants to qualify from the group, and the first game will not be lost, and must go all out to win the opponent.
On the contrary, if it cannot defeat Tajikistan, then the situation of the Chinese team to qualify will become extremely serious. Because compared to Tajikistan, whether it is Qatar or Lebanon, it is not easy for the national football team to take points from each other. However, it is gratifying that after coming to the UAE this time, Jankovic also summarized some offensive and defensive problems exposed in the two games of the World Preliminary Tournament and made targeted adjustments. The most important thing is that the return of the injured players who missed the World Preliminary Tournament due to injury has given Jankovic more room to adjust.
With the Asian Cup approaching, Jankovic has recently adopted the method of training on behalf of the game to mobilize the state of the players. Qatar's Asian Cup national football debut will be against Tajikistan on January 13 next year. Can the first game get off to a good start? Let's wait and see!
