After the national football team lost 1-2 to Hong Kong, China, the atmosphere in the domestic football world and the national football team was very depressing, and Jankovic immediately canceled the holiday and changed to three practices a day, implementing stricter management of the national players. In this state, there are two possibilities for the international players, either the resistance is greater, and the performance and state are getting worse and worse, or the courage to usher in a bottoming rebound after shame. In the face of the upcoming Asian Cup, we hope that the national football team can achieve good results, and the previous warm-up matches can be blameless.
After losing 1-2, the national football team ushered in the last warm-up match of this training camp, and the opponent was the Gulf Heroes FC, a team in the UAE First Division (Level 2). The national football team finally defeated the opponent 6-2 in this closed event, ushering in the second victory of this training camp. The goals scored for the national football team in this game were Zhang Yuning, Li Lei, Wei Shihao and Wu Lei, of which Zhang Yuning came back to score a hat trick, and Gulf Hero FC scored two penalties.
So far, the four warm-up matches of the national football team in the UAE training camp have all ended, defeating the clubs of the UAE second division 5-1 and 6-2 respectively, and losing 0-2 and 1-2 to Oman and Hong Kong, China. It can only be said that it is difficult for the national football team to perform well in a tough battle, and the second-level team in the UAE can only be regarded as the level of the first division, and winning by a large score can only be said to have no great technical and tactical significance, just to find confidence in the national football team and restore its mentality. Before the Asian Cup, it is indeed necessary to arrange some "welfare bureaus", and it is also very important for the national football team to restore confidence, and a good attitude can allow the national players to unload their burdens and reduce pressure.
After the end of this game, the national football team took a full day of rest and then flew from the United Arab Emirates to Qatar to officially start the Asian Cup journey at the Asian Cup station. The group stage of the Asian Cup national football team started on January 13, and the first opponent was Tajikistan, which had just defeated Hong Kong, China 2-1 in the warm-up match to help the national football team "take revenge". It can be seen that Tajikistan is not weak in our impression, and the national football team may not be able to win the opponent. After that, on the 17th and 22nd, they played against Lebanon and the host Qatar respectively, and the schedule was quite favorable.
The Asian Cup is about to begin, I don't know what kind of expectations fans have for the national football team? Group qualification or promotion to the top 8? In short, the morale of the current national football team is relatively low, and the state and strength are also very average, after 4 closed warm-up matches, there is really no full certainty that they can qualify for the group, let alone advance to the top 8. Fans expect a miracle, but they hope that the national football team can be completely changed, from youth training, league to every link and every level of the Football Association, and hope that Chinese football will usher in a new look.
