can ivankovic (center) lead the team to regain confidence?
at 20:00 on september 10, the chinese national football team will face saudi arabia in the second round of the asian qualifiers for the world cup in dalian. after the 0:7 defeat to japan, the chinese national football team and the outside world are in a state of paranoia. however, although saudi arabia is a strong team in asia, there is still some gap between its level and that of the japanese team.
facing saudi arabia, the chinese national football team still needs to focus on itself, paying attention to the opponent but not underestimating itself. how to find a balance between pressure and its own strength is a problem that the team needs to solve.
still popular
the chinese national football team needs to show blood
after losing to japan by a large margin, the chinese national football team was under tremendous pressure from public opinion and was extremely disappointed by the outside world. for them, one of the tasks in this game is to live up to the expectations of the outside world as much as possible and win back the fans who support the team.
even though the outside world is full of pessimistic voices, there are still many people who are willing to go to the scene and support the team with practical actions. at present, the ticket sales for this game have improved greatly, with only a small number of tickets left. at the barracuda bay football stadium, which can accommodate about 63,000 fans, the chinese national football team does not need to worry about losing its home momentum.
at the same time, the number of media on site for this match was no less than that during the round of 36. on the afternoon of the 9th, the media personnel who came to the scene had staged many "seat grabbing" competitions.
on the afternoon of the 9th, even though some reporters chose to go to the stadium on their own, the shuttle bus from the media hotel to the stadium was still full. the seats for the pre-match press conference and the camera positions for the pre-match training needed to be arrived in advance to "grab" an ideal position.
this is enough to show that the outside world still has expectations for the chinese national football team. however, how long this expectation can last depends entirely on the team's subsequent performance.
"the fans are cheering for us outside the hotel, and now i see so many media friends. everyone is thinking about us, and as a player i am very touched. we will change our attitude for this game." chinese national football team goalkeeper wang dalei, who attended the pre-match press conference, spoke his true feelings.
facing the powerful saudi arabian team, the probability of the chinese national football team getting points at home is very low, and they may continue to lose. however, the outside world is not unacceptable to the chinese national football team losing, but they cannot accept that they suffered a crushing defeat without showing any desire to play. as long as the chinese national football team shows bloodiness and fighting spirit, they can receive applause even if they lose.
draw with indonesia in the first round
saudi arabia wants to save face
the pressure saudi arabia has faced recently is no less than that of the chinese national football team. in the first round of the top 18, saudi arabia drew 1:1 with indonesia, the sixth-tier team in the group, at home. after the draw, they were also caught in the whirlpool of public opinion.
under heavy pressure, saudi arabian football association chairman al mishal personally came out and apologized to the fans through the media. at the same time, he stated that the players will make compensation in the match against the chinese team and strive to see better results in future games.
mancini, the coach of the saudi team, who came to the pre-match press conference, obviously had not let go of this game. when discussing the match between the chinese national team and the saudi team, he mentioned indonesia many times. "we missed many opportunities against indonesia. the team worked together and played like we did in the second half of the last game."
for saudi arabia, the chinese national football team is not a strong opponent. but at the pre-match press conference, mancini still gave the chinese national football team enough face, "although they lost the game, the chinese team is still an excellent team, and i expect them to perform better."
the more mancini said this, the more the chinese national football team should not be fooled by his polite words. the saudi arabian team, which did not have a satisfactory result in the first match, must regain face from the chinese national football team. what the chinese national football team needs to do is to try their best to prevent the opponent's ideas from being realized.
the idea has been finalized
how to adjust the lineup
the chinese national football team returned to dalian from japan on the 6th, leaving the team with little time to prepare. facing japan, the chinese national football team's defense was completely defeated, and the technical and tactical system completely failed. facing saudi arabia, the team needs to find a balance between lineup adjustment and self-persistence in a short period of time.
at the pre-match press conference, a reporter asked whether the chinese national football team would play an "ivan-style game" against saudi arabia. upon hearing this question, coach ivankovic smiled meaningfully. he then told reporters: "from the team's perspective, we have formed our own style of play and ideas, which cannot be changed overnight."
ivan said that the team must let the players play in their familiar positions to show their characteristics. football is not a video game. the team needs a long time to run in. players from different clubs also need a process to adapt to the coach's requirements.
for the chinese national football team, it is not realistic to start over with the previous playing style. however, after the disastrous defeat in the first game and some changes in the lineup, the team still needs to make changes in this game. after liu yang withdrew due to injury, huang zhengyu, who was not selected for the last game, participated in the pre-match training, which means he is expected to get a chance to come on as a substitute.
at the same time, ivan made it clear before the game that the team cannot only emphasize offense or defense, but the two should complement each other. facing saudi arabia, how should the chinese national football team make effective adjustments on both offense and defense?
