In the evening of the 14th, on the training ground, the media witnessed the "simplicity and directness" of Jankovic's coaching style. After he succinctly delivered the training instructions and instructed the players to perform basic stretching, the team then went into a number of drills with the ball, ranging from easy to difficult. These drills included group offense and defense with free men, high intensity group pressure and quick passing, and 8 on 8 field offense and defense drills. Assistant coaches and trainers such as Wan Houliang were responsible for instructing most of the drills, while Jankovic reminded the players to improve the speed of their passing and to focus on sensible and aggressive running without the ball during the drills.
Although the entire training session was completed in just one hour, the compact content and greater intensity made the players generally tired, but this is exactly the usual strategy of Yankovic to lead the team.
What is particularly noteworthy is that the training session, which was scheduled to be open to the media for only 20 minutes, was open to the media for the entire session, which is almost unheard of in the history of the national team. What's even more amazing is that the CFA not only live-streamed the training session through social media platforms, but also assigned a professional who served as the press officer of the national football team during the 12-team tournament to be in charge of the live filming and commentary. This unprecedented open attitude not only allows the media and fans to have a clearer understanding of the team's training status, but also shows the outside world the team's confidence and positive attitude. In Yankovic's opinion, this confidence is the solid backing of the team to face the strong enemy.
