In 2024, the national football team started from a defeat.
In the FIFA A-level friendly match held on the evening of the 1st, China’s men’s soccer team was defeated by Hong Kong, China 2-1. At the time when the Asian Cup is just around the corner, the state of China men’s soccer team is worrying.
China men’s soccer team assembled on December 18th last year to prepare for the upcoming Asian Cup in mid-January, and is currently training in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. In the previous two warm-up matches, the national football team defeated the third-level league team in the United Arab Emirates, and then lost to Oman 0-2.
Before this game, Wu Shaocong, the only player studying abroad in the national football team list, had gone to Abu Dhabi to meet the team. At present, he has also entered the starting lineup in the Turkish League, and together with Xu Haofeng, Jiang Guangtai and Li Lei, he has formed a four-back.
In other positions, Wu Xi and Wang Shangyuan are partners in the back, with Liu Binbin and Wei Shihao in the wings, Lei Wu and Tan Long as the front line, and Liu Dianzuo as the goalkeeper.
According to Hong Kong media reports, at the beginning of the game, China men’s soccer team took the lead in the 9th minute. After Lei Wu’s shot was blocked by the goalkeeper, Tan Long succeeded in making up the shot to help the team lead 1-0.
However, after the Yi Bian war, the situation on the field changed suddenly. Hong Kong, China team scored two goals by Pan Peixuan, and finished the lead in a short time. In the process of Hong Kong, China team’s rise, Wang Shangyuan got a red card and was sent off.
Facing the unfavorable situation, the China Men’s Football Team failed to find a solution to the problem. On the contrary, a member of the coaching staff and Wu Shaocong were both sent off with red cards, which made the scene even more difficult to recover.
In the end, the national football team lost 1:2, and the new year began with an unexpected defeat. Moreover, veteran Wu Xi was injured in this game, and the specific injury is still unclear.
At present, Hong Kong, China ranks 150th in the world rankings, which has a certain gap compared with China men’s soccer team ranked 79th. However, the result is unexpected. According to media statistics, this is the China men’s soccer team losing to Hong Kong, China again after 39 years.
According to the schedule, the China men’s soccer team will face Tajikistan, the first opponent in the Asian Cup group match, on January 13th, followed by Lebanon on January 17th and Qatar, the host country, at the end of the group match on January 22nd.
After losing to Oman, China men’s football coach jankovic once said that the national football team had just finished the intensive training cycle, and everyone’s physical fitness was not at its best. He stressed that after entering the preparation stage of technical and tactical drills, the team will start to solve the problem from two aspects, adjust the state of the players and improve the tactical level.
For whatever reason, judging from the result of the match with Hong Kong, China, it seems that the men’s soccer team in China is far from being on the right track, and the team needs to adjust and improve a lot.
The Asian Cup is just around the corner, so there is not much time left for the men’s soccer team in China.
