The national football team adjusts its mentality to actively face Japanese football players: play our offensive routine as much as possible – yqqlm

We had two previous contacts with the Korean men’s football team in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, when the Chinese team defeated the Korean men’s football team 1-0. In the other game against South Korea, although we lost, our performance on the court was not bad. But our national team at the time was the strongest lineup of the best players in the country selected.

And this time to participate in the East Asian Cup, we arranged a lineup of U23 male football players led by Yankovic. Our young players need experience. In the absence of major tournament experience, most players have performed well against the Korean national team. Although we lost three goals, it was more a result of our mistakes. I believe that this group of young players still have great potential in improving their strength after adding some game experience. We cannot be disappointed with the development of the entire Chinese football just because the young squad has not achieved good results.

Japan coach Mori Boichi

Next, the Chinese men’s football team will face the Japanese team. This time, the Japanese men’s football team is led by Mori Baoichi, but this is not the strongest lineup of the Japanese team. Because the Japanese team participating in the East Asia Cup this time selected outstanding players and many young players in the Japanese domestic league. Many of their middling squads are young players who have just finished participating in the U23 Asian Cup. However, the Japanese men’s football team sent the U21 men’s football team to participate in the U23 Asian Cup, and also won the third place. And also defeated the U23 South Korea team 3-0. The strength of this group of Japanese men’s football teams should not be underestimated.

Due to the lack of game experience of the Chinese team’s players, and our players are mainly young players, we should try our best to play our advantages in the game. For example, in terms of defense, our Zhu Chenjie and other players on the defensive line should sum up their experience and avoid repeating the loopholes in the previous defense. Our rear line players such as Zhu Chenjie, Wen Jiabao, Jiang Shenglong and Jiang Guangtai should strengthen their defensive practice.

In terms of organization and attack, since our strength is still far behind our opponents, we should seize every opportunity to control the ball. In attack and shooting, it should be more decisive. And should strengthen the opportunity to seize the offensive. Jankovic is a very good coach. Although we lost the East Asian Cup for the first time, our young players performed well against the Korean national team in the first round. There is still hope for the young players. We look forward to Yankovic’s team in the next game against Japan to score goals and achieve good results.
