Hi football fans, at the beginning of the new year, Chinese football ushered in a jaw-dropping game. That's right, we're going to talk about the match of the national football team against Hong Kong, China in the first match of the new year in 2024. Don't think it's an ordinary report, the rest of the story is full of highlights.
At the beginning of the game, the national football team was like a bamboo, and what made people notice was that they quickly took the lead. However, it backfired, and was eventually counterattacked by Hong Kong, China with a score of 2-1, which was also the first time since 1985 that the national football team lost to Hong Kong, China in an international A-level competition. Yes, you heard it right, it's a record-breaking reversal.
In the game, adding to the fire, national football players Wang Shangyuan and Wu Shaocong even had assistant coach Pelovic and were sent off with red cards respectively. It was simply a "red storm" in the game, which made the team start the new year in an unfavorable way. Is this going to be something on the field or a game? You might think it's an oolong show after watching it.
Now the problem is that after two consecutive defeats, the whole national football team is in a low mood. Coach Jankovic is in desperate need of clearance to help his team pick themselves up. Can you imagine that anyone will be caught off guard by the change, as if the kettle you were holding to boil your water suddenly turned into a teapot. This defeat is not just a matter of losing for the national football team.
Considering that the team has been focusing on physical training before, the result is that most of the players are not in the best physical condition at all. Do you think that coach Jankovic is like a driver holding the steering wheel on the highway, but the car keeps driving on its own? So, in the game, he decisively adjusted the six starters. Unfortunately, despite a good start, he soon fell into a situation where he was completely suppressed by his opponent.
The lineup has been adjusted, and the state is still not good, and the result can be imagined. In the end, the Hong Kong, China team successfully counterattacked 2-1, and the red cards of the national football assistant coaches and players made it even worse, making the team fall into a more passive situation. It's like when you're on the ski slopes, but you accidentally fall into the snow, get covered in mud, and lose face.
Some people blame the poor warm-up of the national football team on the long-term training camp, but in fact, the preparation period for participating in the Asian Cup was also long. This can't help but make people wonder, is it that in the national football training base, they eat roasted whole sheep every day, so the state has not been adjusted well?
Regarding the current situation of the national football team, the outside world has speculated, perhaps only Jankovic and the internal members of the team know best. Is there some internal conflict between them? Is it that they are playing a game of "whoever wants to play the least will be punished"? We don't know for sure, after all, the changes on the football field are sometimes more exciting than life.
National football players have expressed their regrets for the defeat and their hopes for the future on social media. Some people say: "Failure is the mother of success", but the national football team is unwilling to be the child of this mother. Coach Jankovic also admitted in a statement released after the game that the team needs to carefully summarize and find out the root cause of the problem. This is not only a loss, but also a deep self-examination of the overall strength, mentality and management.
First of all, we need to focus on the mental state of the team. The two consecutive defeats have made the national football team depressed, and how to cheer up has become a top priority. On the pitch, every player is part of the team, and the collapse of the mentality can trigger the collapse of the whole team. It's like a malfunctioning cog, and if not repaired properly, the whole machine may be paralyzed. Therefore, Jankovic needs to instill a spirit of "overcoming oneself" in the team, so that every player can remain calm in the face of pressure and quickly adjust their mentality even if they fail.
Secondly, the issue of physical reserves is also worthy of our in-depth consideration. In the past, the national football team has focused too much on physical training, but it turns out that the fight on the football field is much more than just the strength of the legs. Technical, tactical and mental qualities are also crucial. We need to find a balance and focus on other aspects of training while keeping the players in physical condition. This is like a comprehensive exam, only if you get good results in each subject, you can make a breakthrough as a whole.
The red card incident in the game also became a weakness of the team. Wang Shangyuan, Wu Shaocong and assistant coach Pelovic were sent off with red cards, which put the team at a numerical disadvantage in the game. It's not just a matter of technical and tactical, it's also a matter of discipline. Jankovic needs to work on the management level to ensure that the players remain sane on the pitch and avoid unnecessary red cards. It's like a chess game, you have to be cautious with every move, otherwise a momentary negligence could lead to a reversal of the whole game.
However, even in the face of these problems, we cannot simply blame them on long-term training camps or other temporary mistakes. The current predicament of Chinese football is perhaps best known only to Jankovic and the rest of the team. Perhaps there are some internal contradictions, or some hidden problems have remained unnoticed. Like the tip of an iceberg, we only see the surface, and the real problem may be buried deeper.
There is a lot of speculation about the team's predicament. Some people think that this is just a temporary low, and through the final warm-up game, the team may be able to shake off the psychological shadow of this defeat. It's also a possibility, but the uncertainty of football as a competitive sport makes anything possible. Perhaps, this defeat is a new starting point for the national football team, the beginning of a stronger Chinese football.
So, let's wait and see if the Chinese team can turn the tide and bounce back in the final warm-up game on January 5. This game is not only a contest between opponents, but also a test for Chinese football. After this storm, will we be able to usher in the rainbow that belongs to Chinese football?
The defeat of this game may be the kind of awakening that Chinese football needs. In the past glory, we may have lost something, and this failure may be an opportunity for us to regain that direction. In this process, we must not only see the shortcomings of the team, but also the potential of the team. Every failure is an accumulation, and every setback is an experience. Chinese football needs a profound baptism to purify the soul and find its original intention.
