The men's soccer tournament at the Hangzhou Asian Games has entered the knockout stage, and China's soccer team played solidly and successfully advanced to the last eight. In the group stage, our soccer team beat India 5-1, swept Myanmar 4-0, drew with Bangladesh 0-0, and beat Qatar 1-0 to advance to the final.On October 1, 20:00, our soccer team welcomed the quarter-final match against the powerful South Korea. Coach Djurdjevic made it clear that our soccer team's goal for the Asian Games is to go all out and try to reach the final.
This year, our soccer team has defeated the Korean team 1-0 in a fierce battle. This time, our soccer team is still full of confidence and is expected to replicate their last victory. It is worth mentioning that our soccer team was originally led by Coach Jankovic, who was promoted to head coach of the national team after almost three years of coaching and handed the team over to Djurdjevic.
The Asian Games will come to an end after the Asian Games, when a number of young players will be promoted to the national team.In October, the national soccer team will have two warm-up matches against Vietnam and Uzbekistan.
Recently, Coach Jankovic has started scouting young players in order to accelerate the transition from old to new in the national soccer team. In the last training session, the average age of the national soccer team was over 30 years old, as the young players were selected by the national team and the Asian Games and Olympic teams to participate in the official games. According to the latest report from Sports Weekly reporter Ma Dexing, the training of the national soccer team in October will see big changes and a major reshuffle in the lineup. Young international players such as Wu Shaocong, Zhu Chenjie and Dai Weijun are expected to return to the national team. Coach Jankovic has already watched the group matches of the national soccer team live and on TV during the 1/8 finals, and will be there again in person for the quarterfinals.
Obviously, Jankovic's initiative is aimed at finding new faces for the October training of the national soccer team, and many new stars in their early 20s are expected to stand out. Madsen pointed out that fans were disappointed with the national team's performance in the two warm-up matches in September, not because of the results, but because of the team's overall "aging". The team felt powerless, so there was a lot of talk of a massive blood change. This time, Jankovic will lead the team to change the blood, and the 99-year-old Asian Games player has been included in his plan.
In addition to young players such as Dai Weijun, Zhu Chenjie and Wu Shaocong, overage players such as Tan Long, Gao Tianyi and Liu Yang will also return to the national team. If Yankovic makes bold adjustments, 2006's Wang Yudong could also be promoted. Considering the uncertain future of the veterans of the national football team, it is hoped that Jankovic will boldly carry out a large-scale blood change, so that the national football team will be refreshed in terms of spirit and the game picture will be more energetic.
