In the early morning of January 14, Beijing time, in Group A of the Asian Cup, the national football team drew 0-0 with Tajikistan. At the press conference after the game, national football coach Jankovic said that a draw in the first round does not mean that the national football team loses the initiative to qualify, and Jankovic does not want to use Zhu Chenjie's goal as an excuse for being blown up.
In an interview on the sidelines after the game, Zhang Linpeng, captain of the national football team, said that the national football team deserved to win, "We were really nervous in the first half, but in the second half, we let go, and we fully showed the content of our training, but unfortunately a goal was blown away, otherwise we fully deserve to win." We still have to learn from our experience and try to play well in the next game. ”
Jankovic said that the team did not play well in the first half, but after making adjustments in the second half, the performance of the national football team has made great progress. Jankovic regretted that he did not win, but stressed that it would not affect the team's fight for the right to qualify from the group.
Talking about Zhu Chenjie's goal being blown away, Jankovic did not dwell too much, "The referee problem was originally the best excuse, but I don't want to find this excuse, in the football world, complaining about the referee will never solve the problem." ”
Jankovic said that the national football team was able to score goals and win later, "The problem of failing to win the game cannot be completely attributed to the goal being blown away, in fact, Lin Liangming and Xie Pengfei's connection also scored from the goal, but unfortunately their cooperation did not score." ”
Finally, Jankovic said that the next match with Lebanon will be more crucial for the national football team.
