In an international A-level warm-up match in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates in the early morning of the 30th Beijing time, the Chinese team was defeated 0-2 at the feet of the Oman team, thus ending the 2023 competition journey with a loss. Perhaps due to the influence of continuous participation in large sports volume and high-intensity training in the early stage, the international players showed fatigue in this game, and it was reasonable to lose. It can be seen that head coach Jankovic must help the whole team adjust their physical condition as soon as possible in the next preparation process, and at the same time try to improve the quality of technical and tactical content drills.
Oman is currently ranked 74th in the world, five places higher than China. The Oman team, which is also a team participating in the Asian Cup, has a similar technical style to the Qatar team, the opponent of the national football team in the same group of the Asian Cup, so the Chinese team can test the Asian Cup through such a warm-up match.
Compared with the first warm-up game on the 25th, the starting lineup of the national football team in this game has changed greatly. Goalkeeper Wang Dalei, who was absent from the warm-up game, and Zhu Chenjie, a central defender who had just been in good health, both started and played the whole game. However, the first captain Wu Xi did not play in this game due to physical discomfort. Like the first game, the national football team still focuses on 442 battles in this game.
In the first half, the two sides played a relatively close game in various areas, and neither achieved anything. However, by the end of the half, many players of the Chinese team had shown fatigue. At the beginning of the second half, head coach Jankovic arranged attackers Zhang Yuning and Lin Liangming to replace Wu Lei and Tan Long, the starting striker combination, and pushed the starting left midfielder Wei Shihao to the middle of the striker, and arranged Lin Liangming as the left midfielder.
In the 49th minute, the Omani team Allawi suddenly sent a cold arrow, and his long-range shot caught Wang Da Lei off guard. "There's nothing to say about this kind of ball and losing points. This is the sentiment of a national football person after the game. After the 60th minute, Wang Qiuming and Xie Pengfei replaced Dai Weijun and Wei Shihao respectively, but several midfielders did not reverse the overall passive situation of the national football team. To be precise, most of the players of the Chinese team showed fatigue and were unable to cope at both offensive and defensive ends. Oman, on the other hand, took advantage of a counter-attack in the 65th minute to score another goal from Ghassani. After that, Zhang Linpeng felt discomfort due to adductor muscles and was replaced by Xu Xin. Wang Shangyuan, one of the starting midfielders, retreated to the right-back position. The score remained 0-2 until the end.
It is understood that after the game, the Chinese team will fully devote itself to the training of technical and tactical content. With the return of defender Wu Shaocong, who plays for the Turkish League club, late at night local time on the 29th, all 26 players selected for the National Football Asian Cup registration squad have arrived. Jankovic can design his ideal main team based on the past two warm-up games and training. It is understood that Wu Xi's physical condition has tended to improve, and Zhang Linpeng, who was replaced in this warm-up game, is not seriously injured, which does not prevent him from participating in the later training and games.
