Preface
With the international football tournament approaching, the national football team is about to usher in a key battle. On the 26th of this month, the national football team will face the Singapore team at home, and this game is of great significance to the team, not only about the ranking in the standings, but also an important moment to test the team's strength and tactical system.
In order to avoid falling by the 3 points in this game, the national football coaching staff is actively preparing, studying the opponent, adjusting the lineup, and striving to show the best state at both offensive and defensive ends.
There is a high probability that the starting lineup will be adjusted, and new faces will be unveiled?
In the first leg of the clash with the Singapore team on the 21st, the performance of the Chinese team can be said to be decent, especially on the offensive end, the players showed a good competitive state. If they can be more decisive and precise when the fighter appears, the Chinese team is fully capable of taking a lead of more than three goals in the first half. However, the second half of the game showed a clear change, with disjointed ends of the offensive and defensive ends and frequent defensive mistakes, which made the team fall into passivity.
After careful analysis, these problems are largely due to the fact that after the team changed formations, some players did not have a clear sense of the new position, which led to mistakes in coordination and leaks in defense during the game.
Facing the upcoming home battle on the 26th, the Chinese team is facing a lot of challenges. On the one hand, many core players, including captain Zhang Linpeng and forward Zhang Yuning, have been plagued by injuries to varying degrees, which undoubtedly brings a lot of difficulty to the team's arrangement.
Zhang Linpeng himself also said frankly that since the Asian Cup, he has had to rely on injections to maintain his condition to meet the needs of the game. This situation undoubtedly made the fans sweat for his physical condition and performance.
Against this backdrop, it is clear that the national football coaching staff needs to make thoughtful adjustments to the starting lineup. As an important member of the coaching team, Ivan has an in-depth understanding of the team's situation.
He is well aware that in order to do well in the next games and avoid repeating the mistakes of the previous round, it is necessary to make targeted adjustments to the weak points of the team. Therefore, it is not ruled out that in the game on the 26th, we will see some new faces appear in the starting lineup, injecting new energy and fighting power into the team.
Ackerson's starting call was high, and Barton had a strong desire to play
In the local regional group confrontation training on the 23rd, the attacking line of the national football team showed a gratifying change. In particular, Exxon, the high-profile striker, has seen a significant improvement in his form. He runs more aggressively, shoots more precisely, and every touch of the ball seems to announce to his opponents: I'm ready to contribute to the team.
At the same time, another attacker, Barton, also expressed his strong desire to play at the fan meeting. For various reasons, he was unable to make his debut in the competition on the 21st, but that didn't dampen his fighting spirit. On the contrary, he is more eager to fight for the national football team on his "home field", and repay the support and love of the fans with goals and assists.
Of course, in addition to strengthening the offensive firepower, the Chinese team also needs to work the defensive end in this game. At the moment, we are temporarily behind Thailand on goal difference, which means that we must not only score as many goals as possible, but also try to concede fewer goals or even no goals. Only then will we be able to catch up in the standings and lay a solid foundation for the next races.
The tactical framework will not change, Ivan insists on attacking!
In yesterday's training session, we were delighted to see all 26 internationals on the training pitch in good spirits. Although Zhang Yuning, who was injured during the trip to Singapore, was only able to jog alone in the company of his physiotherapist, his perseverance and indomitable spirit still infect every teammate. The remaining 25 players devoted themselves to joint training, showing the unity and fighting spirit of the national football team.
In order to better prepare for the upcoming game, Coach Ivan carefully divided the 22 players except the three goalkeepers into three groups for targeted physical training. Among them, Zhang Linpeng, Jiang Guangtai, Zhu Chenjie, Liu Yang, Wang Shangyuan, Aikeson, Xie Pengfei, Wu Lei and other 8 players are particularly eye-catching. Their tacit cooperation and outstanding performance have undoubtedly injected strong confidence and combat effectiveness into the national football team.
Such a group training arrangement also seems to send a clear signal to the outside world: in the game against Singapore, Coach Ivan will not make too many adjustments to the technical and tactical system. After all, in the last game, his 442 diamond midfield system worked fairly smoothly in the first half, effectively controlling the tempo of the game.
However, when the opponent pulled a goal back, the mentality of the national football players changed, and Ivan's on-the-spot adjustment was slightly insufficient, resulting in the team being equalized by the opponent in the final stage of the game.
From this training, we can see that Coach Ivan has a clear tactical plan and a rigorous preparation attitude for the upcoming games. He knows that only by maintaining a stable technical and tactical system, and at the same time strengthening the players' mentality adjustment and on-the-spot adaptability, can the national football team play its best level in the game and achieve ideal results.
