The recent 2-0 defeat to Oman has once again sparked widespread discussion. First of all, this is not only a loss in a warm-up game, but also a profound reflection of the current situation of the national football team. In the face of slightly stronger opponents, the national football team has obviously lost its competitiveness, which can't help but make people worry about whether the national football team can make a difference in the upcoming round of 36
The first thing to say is that the defense of the national football team in this game is not bad, but the problem is in the attack. We always seemed to lack creativity and penetration, struggling to break down the opposing defence. The turning point of the game came in the second half, when Oman took the lead thanks to Al Shad Allawi's world waveAnd this also exposes our question: why can the other side play a world wave, but we rarely perform like this?
Coach Jankovic's tweaks didn't make much of a difference. While substitution strategy is necessary, what we need more is tactical flexibility and creativity. Especially on the offensive side, the team seems to lack clarity of thought and effective strategy。It also makes people wonder if Jankovic, as the head coach, is there a lack of tactical arrangement
Let's take a look at the performances of the internationals. It can be seen that many players seem to be unable to do their best in the game, and this is not only a physical problem, but also a mental and technical problem. Our attackers, such as Wu Lei and Wei Shihao, failed to perform as well as they should. This begs the questionWhy is it difficult for our players to perform at critical moments?
When it comes to the choice of tactics, Jankovic always seems to be "familiar with it, not raw", but this strategy has clearly been thoroughly studied by his opponents. Without the necessary tactical adjustments and personnel rotation, it may be difficult to stand out from Asian opponents。Even if the FIFA ranking of the national football team is slightly lower than that of Oman, this is not an excuse for losing. Football is not just about rankings, it's about performance and strategy on the field.
Finally, as for the future of the national football team, I think it should not be limited to the question of whether to change the coach. More importantly, we need to improve the technical level, tactical understanding and mental quality of the team in an all-round way. The national football team still has a long way to go if it wants to make a difference on the world stage. The support of the fans is essential, but at the same time, we also need to look at the problem objectively and help the national football team find a way forward.
In general, the defeat of the national football team this time is the result of many factors, including technical shortcomings and tactical problems. We need to learn from this defeat and keep improving and improving in order to achieve better results in future competitions. After all, the game of football does not depend on momentary luck, but on long-term accumulation and unremitting efforts.
