In the first match of the Asian Cup against Tajikistan, Fan Zhiyi: The score was won or drawn;
The national football team will usher in the team's first match of the Asian Cup against Tajikistan at 22:30 on the evening of January 13. A number of former internationals gave their thoughts on the game before the game.
Fan Zhiyi talked about the first game of the Asian Cup on his personal social media. Fan Zhiyi said that the first game was against Tajikistan, and Tajikistan entered the Asian Cup for the first time. Tajikistan was our opponent in the group stage of the 97 World Cup qualifiers, and this team is a mysterious division, you can't underestimate him, he is very powerful, and his style of play is correspondingly tough.
"It should be a difficult game for the Chinese team. However, I think the Chinese team can enter the next round of the game, so I have already said about the game against Tajikistan, especially in the offensive and defensive conversion, see how Coach Jankovic arranges his troops and seizes the opportunity. What about this scoreline, a small win or a draw, the first game is very difficult and difficult. ”
Former international Mao Jianqing also expressed his views on the game. Mao Jianqing believes that the national football team can win this game, and said, "Go up and kill more towers, what is stable, you don't dare to attack Tajikistan? If I am the head coach, I will still attack." Mao Jianqing said that he is only optimistic about Japan and South Korea in this Asian Cup.
According to a previous report by Beijing Youth Daily, the current national football team is full of confidence in the start of this Asian Cup.
China is currently ranked 79th in the world, and the last Asian Cup team entered the quarterfinals, and the Chinese team in this Asian Cup is the second oldest team in average age, and only one naturalized player Jiang Guangtai was selected for this competition. In the recent warm-up matches, the Chinese team performed poorly, even losing 1-2 to Hong Kong, China.
Tajikistan are currently ranked 106th in the world, and this is the team's first time participating in the Asian Cup, with as many as nine returnees in the team, and the squad is the second youngest team in the tournament. In their most recent warm-up match, the team won 2-1 against Hong Kong.
The data shows that the Chinese team and the Tajikistan team have played each other a total of 5 times before. The most recent meeting between the two sides took place in an international warm-up match in Guangzhou in June 2019, when China won by one goal. Overall, the Chinese team has an absolute upper hand with an unbeaten record of 4 wins and 1 draw, so it has a relatively obvious psychological advantage. However, in recent years, Tajikistan's football has also made significant progress, and its national youth echelons at all levels have an overall advantage in the performance of Chinese teams of the same age.
