The Chinese men's football team lost 1:2 to the Hong Kong team, China, was it an upset or a great shame? To be honest, it was neither, it was just a simple loss of skill that was inferior to others. You must know that in the previous Asian Games, the Chinese men's football team that played at home stopped in the quarterfinals, while the Hong Kong, China team broke into the semifinals in a historic way, isn't this a naked difference in strength? Coupled with this group of Chinese men's football teams composed of "uncles", it is simply impossible to let them play the game with all their might, and even such a bad performance of this group of players has made coach Jankovic doubt his life.
According to a domestic media report, as the coach of the Chinese men's football team, Jankovic began to deny himself, I don't know if he was angry with the national football players, or is it really a lack of coaching ability? You must know that since Jankovic took office, the team's main lineup has not been determined, and even the basic formation arrangement is not fixed, even in the selection of players, there is not much right to speak, and there is no "difference" from the previous coaches on the surface.
For example, compared with the previous warm-up match against Oman, the lineup of this game against Hong Kong, China continued to be adjusted, and in terms of goalkeepers, Wang Dalei was replaced as soon as he started, and the third goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo was the starter. The rear line is also reorganized again, Li Lei, Wu Shaocong, Jiang Guangtai, Xu Haofeng and other four people have never had a partner before, although it is just a warm-up game, but really look down on the forward line of the Hong Kong, China team? At least the starting lineup should be fixed, and the follow-up substitutions can be adjusted on the spot.
Wu Xi and Wang Shangyuan partnered in the back, Wei Shihao and Liu Binbin were separated on both sides, and Wu Lei and Tan Long, the pair of "Wolong and Phoenix Chicks", continued to start the front line. To tell the truth, after this lineup came out, it has already made fans lose more than half of their confidence, after all, most of the players in this lineup are embarrassed and heavy-duty, and they are all "uncles" who are messing around. Successive changes to the starting line-up, it is clear that coach Jankovic does not know what to do, and the three-centre-back formation that has been used before has also changed.
Since taking office as the coach of the Chinese men's football team in 2023, it has been almost a year since Jankovic still did not have his own set of fixed teams, not to mention the so-called tactical ideas and technical and tactical play, even the so-called formation has been changing. With such a coach and such a player, it is really impossible for the team to win, and consecutive defeats are commonplace.
In fact, Jankovic has been in China for a long time, and he has been in contact with Chinese players when he coached the U20 before. However, judging from the formation and use of players in the last two warm-up games, he is completely an out-and-out "layman", and he does not understand the technical characteristics of local players and the positions they are adapted to. Of course, some fans will explain that they are actively seeking changes in order to deal with the lineup play of other teams, but in essence, it is completely self-denial and unclear cognition, not to take the initiative to improve and change, but to make up for the mistakes and make mistakes.
Not to mention the two recent warm-up games, the national football training camp has been more than half a month, and you should know a little bit about the players, all of which can be adjusted to a better state in terms of competitive state and physical fitness. However, facing the Oman team and the Hong Kong, China team one after another, the Chinese men's football team was completely beaten without temper, especially the loss to the Hong Kong, China team, which was completely shameful. From the previous loss to the Vietnamese team during the Spring Festival to the current loss to the Hong Kong team on New Year's Day, I really don't know if there is a so-called bottom line for these players? It is completely because they have spared no effort to nail themselves to the pillar of shame in history again and again, so that those who come after them have no chance to surpass them at all.
