In the round of 18 of the World Preliminary Championship, the national football team's debut was the focus of attention, but they lost 0-7 against Japan, making all expectations come to naught. The result of the game is not only a heavy number, but also a ruthless revelation of the overall strength of the national football team. After the game, from technical tactics to mental outlook, everything became a topic of discussion in the outside world.
The deployment of technology and tactics was one of the direct reasons for the defeat in this game. The national football team tried to restrain the opponent's 433 formation with the 442 formation, but the Japan team's change of formation gave a surprising answer. Japan not only switched to 343, but also tactically emphasized width rather than depth, which made the Chinese team's defensive strategy completely ineffective. To make matters worse, our line-up and tactical deployment were figured out by the opponent before the game, which is extremely lethal in the international arena. From this point of view, the tactical preparation of the national football team not only lacks flexibility, but also lacks confidentiality, which is difficult to accept in high-level international competitions.
Fitness problems are also a key factor in the collapse of the national football team. According to reports, the national football team arrived late at the game venue due to traffic problems before the game, resulting in the team having to rush to warm up before the game, which has a direct impact on the performance of the players. If a football team is not adequately prepared before the game, its physical and mental state will be affected. Although the lack of physical fitness in the game may be caused by many factors, it is clear from this incident that the management has been seriously negligent in the scheduling of the event. In this situation, it is difficult for the players to perform at the level they should have in the game, let alone compete with the highly skilled Japan team.
The issues of team management and mentality building should not be overlooked. A team's ability to adjust psychologically, as well as its ability to withstand pressure, is an important criterion for evaluating its overall strength. From the score of 0-7, it can be seen that the national football team almost lost the ability to counterattack in the game, which largely reflects the team's lack of psychological and emotional management. Every mistake and every goal conceded in a game can take a toll on the mentality of the players, and how to stay calm and united in the face of adversity is something that coaches and management teams need to think deeply about.
More importantly, how to get back on your feet after such a defeat is also a big challenge for the national football team. In the face of a huge defeat, the team must not only analyze the technical and tactical shortcomings, but also find the reasons from the organizational and psychological level. In the future games, how to adjust tactics, optimize the schedule, and strengthen the team's psychological counseling will be the key to changing the status quo.
In terms of technical and tactical training, the national football team needs to introduce more modern football concepts and methods. Against a high-level team like Japan, we must not only have the ability to cope with changing tactics, but also improve the team's tactical flexibility and adaptability. This requires the coaching team to continuously learn the international advanced football concepts, combined with the actual situation of Chinese players, to develop a more targeted and forward-looking training plan. At the same time, the strengthening of the youth training system is equally important, which is the fundamental way to improve the overall level of the national football team.
Physical fitness management is also an area that the national football team needs to focus on. The lack of physical fitness in this tournament highlights the shortcomings of the national football team in physical preparation and management. In the future, the national football team needs to strengthen the systematic training of physical fitness and physique to ensure that players can maintain a high-intensity competitive state in the game. At the same time, it is also important that the game schedule is properly organised, and the management should ensure that all schedules are scheduled in a way that minimises the negative impact on the fitness and fitness of the players.
In addition, the cultivation of psychological quality is indispensable. In the international arena, psychological factors can often determine the outcome of a match. The national football team needs to establish a professional psychological counseling team to help players quickly adjust their mentality when encountering adversity, improve their ability to resist pressure and the speed of psychological recovery. Not only does this help players stay in top shape during the game, but it is also key to improving team cohesion and effectiveness.
Sufficient attention should also be paid to post-match handling and media relations. The pressure of negative news and public opinion often exacerbates the psychological burden on players and coaches. The management and public relations team of the national football team should adopt a proactive strategy to reasonably guide public opinion, mitigate the negative impact of the outside world on the team, and also protect the players from excessive criticism and attacks.
The overall strategy of the national football team should also be re-examined. Including the selection of suitable coaches, the scientific formulation of game and training plans, and various attempts to integrate with international football. Only by forming a set of long-term strategies suitable for the development of Chinese football can we truly gain a firm foothold in the international arena in the future.
Through this painful lesson, every attack of the national football team should not be just a simple game, but an opportunity to challenge itself. Every defeat should become a catalyst for the growth and progress of the national football team. Only by constantly learning from experience and having the courage to reform and innovate can the national football team show a new style on the international football stage in the future and win respect and applause.
