6-2 victory! Jankovic finally activated Zhang Yuning, will the Asian Cup become a savior?
The national football team defeated its opponent with a score of 6-2 in the last warm-up game before the Asian Cup. In this game, Zhang Yuning, the national football player that Jankovic focused on cultivating, finally broke out. He single-handedly helped the national football team score 3 goals and became the biggest contributor to the victory! At the beginning of the Asian Cup, many fans also expect Zhang Yuning to become the savior of the national football team in the Asian Cup!
6-2 victory! Jankovic successfully excavated the "fierce general" of the national football team
Zhang Yuning's selection for this Asian Cup and the last World Preliminaries is actually somewhat controversial. On the one hand, he was mainly recovering from injuries in the Chinese Super League last season, and he did not play much time in the league.
On the other hand, Zhang Yuning's physical fitness has been criticized. As early as when Li Tie was coaching the national football team, Zhang Yuning's physical fitness could not last for 90 minutes, which was already the consensus of everyone. As a young player who is only 26 years old, he can still be selected for the national team without physical fitness, which is actually a very rare phenomenon in world football.
And in this Asian Cup, Jankovic overrode public opinion and continued to bring Zhang Yuning. In the past 3 warm-up games, Zhang Yuning, as a national football striker, has been entrusted with important tasks by Jankovic. It is a pity that in the match against the Oman team and the Hong Kong team against China, Zhang Yuning did not score anything.
Fortunately, in the last game with the fish belly team, Zhang Yuning finally broke out. One person scored 3 goals and helped the national football team achieve a long-lost victory. After this game, Jankovic's excavation and cultivation of Zhang Yuning seems to have finally reaped the results. The next test of Zhang Yuning will be the Asian Cup.
Asian Cup or savior?
It is worth reminding that in the 26-man squad for the Asian Cup announced by Jankovic, Zhang Yuning, Wu Lei and Tan Long were selected for the forward position. In terms of age, 26-year-old Zhang Yuning is the youngest. Wu Lei is 32 years old and Tan Long is 35 years old, and they are already veterans of the national football team.
In such a situation, whether the national football team can score goals depends more on the role and value of Zhang Yuning. The national football team has Wei Shihao and Dai Weijun in the midfield, such excellent players who can break through and pass the ball, if they can send the ball to Zhang Yuning's head, then, with Zhang Yuning's header ability, he may be expected to become the savior of the national football team.
