On December 30, Beijing time, let's continue to pay attention to domestic football and domestic sports. At present, the national football players are preparing for the Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates, and in the first warm-up match, they defeated the team of the third division of the United Arab Emirates 5-1, Zhang Yuning, Wu Lei, Lin Liangming, and Jiang Shenglong teamed up to score 5 goals and won the warm-up match.
At 11 o'clock in the evening of the 29th, the national football team ushered in the second warm-up match in the training camp before the Asian Cup. Details of the closed warm-up match have not been released, but we have learned more about it through official channels. Different from the previous warm-up games, the main players of this campaign Zhang Linpeng, Wu Lei, Wei Shihao, Dai Weijun and others started the game.
In the first half, both sides were goalless and drew 0-0. Just four minutes into the second half, Al Shad Allawi knocked on the door of victory for the national football team, and Oman led 1-0. However, the national football team failed to launch an effective counteroffensive when it was lagging behind. In the 65th minute, Mohsen Ghassani scored another goal and Oman extended the score to 2-0. After that, neither side achieved anything, and the national football team finally lost 0-2.
In the last World Preliminary Championship Asian Top 12, the national football team and the Oman team met twice, but only one time was a handshake, and the other was a helpless defeat. This defeat undoubtedly exposed the shortcomings of the national football team, and bid farewell to the 2023 tournament journey with a defeat. On January 1, the national football team will usher in the third warm-up match with Hong Kong, China at the Abu Dhabi training base. They will then depart for Qatar on January 7 to officially start the main event.
In this game, although the national football team lost, there was also a worrying news: defender and captain Zhang Linpeng was injured in the game and was replaced, and the specific injury situation has not yet been clarified. This undoubtedly brought some trouble to the next training and competition, and we can only silently pray for his speedy recovery.
Thankfully, Wu Xi and Wang Dalei's physical condition has gradually improved, which is undoubtedly good news for coach Jankovic. According to reliable sources, after this battle, the Chinese team will fully devote itself to the training of technical and tactical content.
Defender Wu Shaocong, who plays for the Turkish club, has returned to the team, which means that all 26 players selected for the national football Asian Cup registration squad have been completed. Jankovic can design his ideal main battle formation based on the past two warm-up matches and training.
The national football team arrived in West Asia half a month ahead of schedule to prepare for the Asian Cup, but encountered a hot and dry climate, which made the Chinese players feel very difficult. In this environment, the team faced a double test of physical fitness and competitive condition, and coach Jankovic also had a hoarse voice and a dry mouth. But even so, they still stuck to their posts and showed a high level of professionalism. It is expected that they can achieve the goal of hitting the top 8, show the demeanor of the Chinese people, and not fail miserably or be ashamed.
