The match between the national football team and the Tajikistan team made countless Chinese football fans sigh. In this game, the national football team once again showed a series of serious problems and weaknesses. From the shortcomings of both offensive and defensive ends, to the inefficient performance of the forwards, to the tactical troubles, all kinds of problems of the national football team have come one after another. This article will analyze this game in depth, revealing the shortcomings of the national football team in all aspects one by one, and only by facing the reality can we find ways to improve.
As important as the opportunities for young players are the tactical adjustments that need to be made in the national team. Over-reliance on Wu Lei has clearly fallen out of its way, and opponents have learned how to limit his attacks. The national football team needs to develop more diversified tactics to reduce its dependence on Wu Lei. This can be achieved by increasing the midfield's control and attacking options to ensure that the team has more flexibility and variety in attack.
In the past games, the national football team has rarely shown such efficient ground coordination. Traditionally, we've tended to rely more on long passes and aerial attacks, which can be easily intercepted or outdone by opponents. The cooperation between the players did not seem to be tacit enough, and the opportunities for short passes and quick passes were wasted. This makes our attack look rigid and predictable, and it is easy for the opponent to anticipate and deal with.
Let's focus on the offensive and defensive ends of the national football team. In terms of attack, the performance of the national football team can be called mediocre. Liu Binbin, Liu Yang and other forward players lack firepower, which makes people sigh. In this game, although they tried hard, they were always difficult to threaten the goal of the Tajikistan team. The only bright spot may be the passing skills of midfielders Wu Xi and Xu Xin, but unfortunately, their impact is not common in the game. Instead, we've seen an inconsistent performance from Tai, who, despite a couple of excellent passes, has been unable to bring a consistent sense of control to the team overall.
In addition, the national football team needs to strengthen the training in defense and improve the individual ability and teamwork of the players. Over-reliance on centre-backs' big-footed clearances has become a clear problem, and opponents can easily spot this tactic and launch counter-attacks. The team needs to better organize their defence to withstand the pressure of the opposition.
To rethink offensive tactics, the national football team needs to focus on short passes, fast passes and creative coordination. First of all, short passing is the key to ground coordination. Players should make frequent short passes to keep the ball in control and not give the opponent a chance to counter-attack. This requires players to have excellent passing skills and awareness, to be able to pass the ball quickly and find the best passing lanes.
Defensively, the problems of the national football team are equally obvious. The team's over-reliance on the centre-back's big-footed clearances led to confusion in the defensive line. Defenders appear less confident in the face of opponents' attacks, which makes it easier for opponents to penetrate the national team's defence. In order to make a difference in the international arena, the national football team must strengthen defensive training and improve the individual ability and teamwork of players.
Behind the long-term slump of the national football team is a series of problems and challenges. However, this is not an unsolvable problem. The national football team has enough potential and opportunities, and as long as the right measures are taken, a new dawn can be ushered in. Opportunities for young players, tactical adjustments, the development of mental qualities, the establishment of leaders and teamwork can all bring improvements to the national football team.
This situation has limited our attacking efficiency in the national football game, making scoring a difficult task. Opponents are often able to contain our attacks with ease, because they know our passing routes and tactics, which makes the national football team lose the ability to create chances in the game. This problem needs to be solved urgently, and the national football team needs to rethink offensive tactics and take ground coordination as a core element.
Let's talk about the striker. Wu Lei, as the leader and symbolic striker of the national football team, has few actual threats. His performances have been disappointing, often being easily intercepted or blocked by opponents in matches. He needs more support and cooperation, but it also means that the national team cannot rely too much on him. In addition, striker players such as Tan Long, Wang Qiuming and Wang Shangyuan also failed to show enough creativity and combat effectiveness. Their performances in the game were disappointing and they were unable to contribute to the team's crucial goals.
Teamwork is also key. Every player in the team must understand their roles and responsibilities and be willing to work hard for the team's success. Teamwork is not only reflected in the competition, but also in training and preparation. Only through team collaboration and hard work can the national football team achieve better results.
To achieve this kind of ground cooperation, the national football team needs to carry out systematic training and tacit construction. In training, players should practice a lot of short passes and quick passes to develop their technique and reflexes. In addition, the coaching staff needs to develop a variety of creative tactics to allow the players to be flexible in a variety of situations during the game.
For older players, such as Zhang Linpeng, it also needs to be reconsidered. Although he used to be the backbone of the national football team, his performance is becoming more and more unsatisfactory due to age. The national football team needs to find new defenders to inject more vitality and energy. The national football team needs to build a culture of leadership and teamwork. In the game, teams that lack leaders tend to lose their way at crucial moments. The national football team needs to find and develop leaders who can lift morale on the pitch, inspire teammates and step up in difficult moments.
Creative coordination is the essence of ground coordination. Players should be able to deceive their opponents and break down their defenses through various variations and tactics. This requires players to think creatively and flexibly, and to be able to make unexpected combinations during the game and catch opponents off guard.
In addition to the problem of individual performance, the national football team also seems to be confused in terms of tactics. First of all, over-reliance on Wu Lei has become a major problem. The opponent easily stopped his attack, because he was almost the only attacking option for the national football team. The team needs more variety in attacking ways to break down the opponent's defense better.
The team also needs to build a win-lose mentality. Although victory is the goal, defeat is also the mother of success. The team must learn from its failures and turn them into motivation for the future. Excessive self-blame and negativity will only exacerbate the problem, not solve it.
Fast transfer is the essence of ground coordination. Players should be able to pass the ball quickly without giving the opponent time to breathe. This requires players to have quick reflexes and decision-making skills, and to be able to find the best passing target in a split second. Quick passes can open up the opponent's defensive formation, create gaps and create opportunities for attack.
The national football team lacks the ability to effectively control the ball and organize the attack. In the game, they often lost possession, causing the opposition to counter-attack frequently. In order to make a difference on the international stage, the national football team must improve the overall level of possession of the team and cultivate more playmakers.
In addition to technical and tactical adjustments, the national football team also needs to pay attention to the psychological quality of players. The team's confidence is often shaken at key moments, which has led to a number of games that should have been won ending in draws or defeats. The national football team needs a professional psychological counselor to help players manage pressure, stay calm, and improve concentration in the game.
Although the match ended with a 0:0 scoreline, it was not a good result. The national football team needs more confidence and improvement, not settle for a draw. We must face up to reality and be brave enough to make the necessary adjustments and improvements. Only in this way can the national football team achieve better performances in future competitions.
