Although they defeated the UAE community team 5-1 two days ago, they lost the game 0-2 in the face of Oman, and Jankovic explained the reason for the loss. Fans: It's the price of going against the original intention!
In order to prepare for the Asian Cup, the national football team started training and training early. The two World Preliminary Tournaments are not enough to prove Jankovic's ability, and the Asian Cup is the real test, and if the results are not good, it is estimated that Jankovic will not be able to do it for long. Jankovic is also aware of the pressure, and in order to boost his players' confidence in victory, he has also reneged on his promise when he first took over.
When Jankovic first took over as the coach of the national football team, he bluntly said that he would not choose a weak team to warm up for victory. But this time, the warm-up prepared by the national football team for the Asian Cup made Jankovic go against his original intention. In the first game, the UAE team was chosen, and although it won 5-1, what was the use of such a big victory? Once it met a stronger team, it would be beaten back to its original shape.
In the second game, the national football team chose Oman, who is ranked 5 places higher than them in the world. In the qualifiers for the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup, the national football team entered the World Cup for the first time in history after defeating Oman. In the Qatar World Cup qualifiers, the national football team's record against Oman was one draw and one loss. The two teams play each other again, can the national football team win?
It's a pity that the national football team was beaten back to its original form by Oman. In the first half, the two sides played a 0-0 draw, and in the 49th and 65th minutes of the second half, the national football team was pierced twice by the world wave and counterattack outside the Oman penalty area and lost 0-2. In the whole game, the national football team did not have a decent shot again. Jankovic was interviewed by reporters on the same day and explained the reason for the national football team's loss.
When asked how he would evaluate the game, Jankovic said: "No one is happy to lose, no one is going to play for the sake of losing. In this game, the players' bodies were very tired and their legs were relatively heavy. The other is to try to bring the physical condition of all the players to a balanced state, so that everyone is on the same level, so from the perspective of player protection, players like Wu Xi and Jiang Guangtai did not play.
In Jankovic's view, the national football team lost because the players were not in good physical condition, and the second was that the personnel were not in order. I have to say that Jankovic is really suitable for the national football team, and he has only been in office for a short time, and he already knows how to make excuses for losing. Jankovic also bluntly said that losing is a normal situation, and it seems that he has long been prepared to lose. Of course, if you lose in the warm-up game, you can win the main game, and the fans can still accept it. If both the warm-up game and the main game are lost, Coach Jankovic is estimated to not be able to do it for long, what do you think?
