on september 2, beijing time, the chinese men's national football team departed from dalian and flew to tokyo, japan, to prepare for the first match against japan in the world cup qualifiers round of 18 on the evening of the 5th. the huge gap between the two teams made the game less suspenseful. but coach ivankovic still hoped that he could replicate the miracle of leading oman to defeat japan in the first match of the top 12 three years ago.

arrived at the away game, trained 3 times before the game to find the state

the chinese football association leadership team did not accompany the team on this away trip. during the training camp, only xu jiren, the newly appointed vice chairman in charge of the national football team, took time to go to dalian and watch a training session at the training ground. at noon on august 28, xu jiren took the opportunity of the team having lunch together to mobilize the team. during the period, xu jiren also combined some of his own work experiences and encouraged the team by telling stories, hoping that everyone could put aside their mental burdens and play well in the top 18 matches.

considering that there are regular flights between dalian and tokyo, the chinese national football team also chose civil aviation for this round trip, which is a continuation of the tradition of not chartering flights during the round of 36. on the morning of the 2nd, the chinese national football team departed from dalian to tokyo. after landing, the whole team lined up for customs clearance as usual, and then all checked into a hotel in the center of tokyo. the entire journey, including the flight, customs clearance, and arrival at the hotel, took only four or five hours, which was not very long.

in the evening, the whole team came to the training ground next to the ajinomoto stadium, the home stadium of the j-league team tokyo fc, to start the first training. ivankovic brought all 27 players to japan. in the training on the evening of the 2nd, except for the left back liu yang who was slightly injured and did not practice together, the other 26 players all participated in the joint training. due to the high-intensity training arranged during the last period of the dalian training camp, the national football team will focus on adjustment and recovery and technical and tactical drills in the few days of training in tokyo. the content of the first training on the 2nd, such as physical awakening and lap grabbing, are all adjustment and recovery content.

on the 3rd, the chinese national football team will train at the same venue. since japanese stadiums are generally well-maintained, the team has a high opinion of the training venue, unlike the bumpy venues they often encountered when traveling abroad in the past. on the 4th, the chinese national football team will go to the saitama 2002 world cup stadium for official pre-match training. in total, there will be three training sessions before the game.

japan team should beware of the nightmare three years ago

although the outside world is generally pessimistic about the team's away game prospects, ivankovic still expects to perform well away from home. in recent technical and tactical drills, the 4-4-2 parallel midfield system used in the last away game against south korea in the round of 36 has become the team's first choice. facing strong teams away from home, strengthening the midfield's protection of the defense is a clear signal released by ivan.

it is expected that the chinese national team will have a very limited possession rate in this game, so in terms of offense, ivan also asked the players to play more directly and make the most of the space for transition between offense and defense.

for ivan, leading oman to defeat japan in the first match of the top 12 three years ago was a very successful past. the croatian is looking forward to leading the chinese national team to achieve a miracle in the same game. however, the japanese team is obviously very concerned about the experience of being upset three years ago. after the list was announced, the japanese head coach moriyasu ichi said that the team should not take it lightly. veteran nagatomo yuto also expressed his attention to the chinese national team in an interview after training.

"the head coach of the chinese team is ivankovic, the head coach of the oman team in the final stage of the last world cup qualifiers. this is indeed a bit uncomfortable." nagatomo yuto admitted that the chinese team has the ability to cause trouble for the japanese team. "to be honest, oman made us take sufficient countermeasures in the last world cup qualifiers, and the players of the chinese team are better than the oman team in terms of ability and organization. if they adopt relevant strategies against us, it will cause us a lot of trouble. this is what makes me most uncomfortable."
