In order to prepare for the Asian Cup to be held in Qatar in January next year, the national football training team has flown to Dubai, United Arab Emirates yesterday, and will start the three-week preparation before the Asian Cup, in order to achieve good results in the Asian Cup, and at the same time hone the lineup for the Asian competition of the World Preliminary Championship to continue next year.
Speaking to reporters, Jankovic said: "We have always been humble, trained hard and prepared with a positive attitude. We're going to give it our all to prepare for Tajikistan, that's how I work. He did not respond directly to the goal of the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup, but said: "As a coach, my criterion is whether the team can play my technical and tactical standards and show a good mental outlook, just like we showed in the World Preliminary Tournament in October. ”
Jankovic's goal of avoiding the Asian Cup national football team may also be to reduce the pressure on the national football team, and the national football team will play Tajikistan, Lebanon and the host Qatar team in the three group stages of the Asian Cup. Although the opponents of the national football team Lebanon and Qatar have just changed the coach of the team not long ago, there may be a problem that the lineup is not clear, but it should be noted that our strength and opponent are between the two, although the national football team has an advantage, but the advantage is not obvious.
Not long ago, Lebanon announced a 29-man squad, of which the number of naturalized players reached 12, and Qatar and Tajikistan also have many naturalized players. It can be said that in order to fight for the 8With 5 places, the second- and third-rate teams in Asia have accelerated the process of naturalization in order to reach the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. In the face of these opponents and challenges, the national football players need to keep a clear and serious attitude to face every opponent, and strive to win the game.
During the three weeks of preparation in the UAE, the national football team plans to play four warm-up matches. Among them, the warm-up match with the Oman team on December 29 has been determined, and the national football team drew 1:1 with the Omani opponent during the top 12 matches of the Asian zone of the 2022 World Preliminaries, and now they meet again and do not know if the national football team can beat the opponent. And Oman's style is similar to that of Lebanon, opponents in the group stage. Through this game, the national football team can further run in the lineup and tactical play. In addition, the warm-up match against India, which was originally scheduled for January 6 next year, may not be played for some reason. At present, the national football team is actively contacting warm-up opponents, and there is a high probability that they will warm up with local clubs.
On the whole, the national football team has shown a low-key and pragmatic work attitude in the process of preparing for the Asian Cup. They are well aware that this Asian Cup journey will be full of challenges and difficulties, but they still choose to move forward.
As fans, we look forward to the national football team being able to play their own style and level in the Asian Cup and win glory for the country!At the same time, we also hope that the fans can give more support and encouragement to the national football team, so that they can face every opponent more confidently and calmly on the field.
