Will the East Asian Cup make the Football Association strengthen the confidence in the national football team?Yang Kevic must win the last battle before giving a chance

On the afternoon of July 27th, Beijing time, the Chinese men's football selection team will face the third round of the 2022 East Asian Cup in the Toyota Stadium in Japan, which is the last round of opponents China Hong Kong team. For the national football team, this is an unbearable game. For the 50 -year -old team Serbian coach Jonkovic, it is also an important assessment of testing its ability to coach.

Although there is no authoritative channels to confirm how directly connecting Yangkovic and the coach of the national football team, if you can hand over a convincing transcript during the East Asian Cup, then Yangkovic is undoubtedly undoubtedly It will increase the impression score of individuals within and outside the Chinese Football Association. As the coach of the Chinese team of the Hangzhou Asian Games, Yangkovic will inevitably be trusted and reused by the Chinese Football Association.

After the end of the World Cup in Russia, in order to strengthen the technical support for national teams at all levels, the Chinese Football Association consciously introduced some high -quality "teachers" from the outside. At the same time, the Chinese Football Association also introduced Alexander Yangkovic, the coach of the former Serbian National Youth Team.

On September 28, 2018, Yangkovic was hired and served as the head coach of the Chinese U19B team at the time. This Serbian coach and the Chinese team's fate with the 1999 age are formed by this cooperation. After the National Youth Team of this age, the Chinese Football Association considers that the team will also carry the heavy task of competition in the Hangzhou Asian Games. The role of the national team coach (official announcement officially took over time on January 1, 2019).

It is also with the solid work style and the theoretical level and business literacy in the process of leading the team. The U21 national team coach renews the contract, and the cooperation cycle of the two sides is coming to the end of the Hangzhou Asian Games.

Affected by the epidemic, in the past three years, this 1999 aging team has participated in a small pull practice, an invitation or friendly match in 2019, and has not participated in any form of international competition for more than 2 years. In terms of training and training newcomers and running lineup formations, the Yangkovic team encountered greater difficulties. At the same time, how to judge the ability of Yangkovic to lead his troops? The Chinese Football Association also lacks reliable basis.

Before this East Asian Cup, the Chinese team prepared for the Hangzhou Asian Games with the U23 National Football Team in 1999, but it was exactly because of the Hangzhou Asian Games. The first official international competition. In this tournament, the Chinese U23 team defeated the UAE U23 team in the first round and rankings. However, in the second round of the game, the Thai U23 team won 4-2, which finally locked the 4th place in the event. Compared with the winning results, the biggest gain of this team is accumulating some international competition experience. It is precisely because of the limited number of participating competitions that Yangkovic's coach is still difficult to present. In this case, the East Asian Cup will undoubtedly become an important ruler for the National Football Selection Team and the judgment of Yangkovic's personal ability.

If the result of this national football team with 3 goals was defeated at the foot of the Korean team in the "reasonable category", then the team tied the powerful Japanese team in the East Asian Cup. Chinese men's football in the predicament brings a little comfort. Can Yankovich OK? At least the soldiers of the game were successful. However, after the "bursting", the National Football Selection Team and Yangkovic must face another reality. That is, the final round faces the weakest Chinese Hong Kong team. Take the opponent? Affected by the inconsistent strength of each team, the end round of the National Football Selection team obviously will not be in the defense as in the first two rounds, but how the team's offensive football is performed, and Yangkovic also faces a new challenge. If the performance of the Chinese Hong Kong team in the end is unsatisfactory, then the "stunning" and Yangkovic's team's leading team may be deserved.

It is worth noting that the Chinese men's football selection team on the East Asia Cup is actually registered as the Chinese team to participate in the East Asian Cup. After the National Football Team ended at the end of March of this year, there was no preparation or competition plan for this year. The answer to the team's head coach Li Xiaopeng has not been officially confirmed. From this perspective, it is inappropriate to connect Yangkovic to the coach of the head of the national football team.

However, from the perspective of updating after the end of the National Football World Football Team, a considerable part of the players in this national football team will also play the important reliance of the National Football Team next year's Asian Cup next year. Therefore, the construction of the national team is inevitably connected with the preparation of the Hangzhou Asian Games in the 1999 National Football Games. No matter what the role played by Yangkovic in the future, he must fully prove his talents in the East Asian Cup, so as to be the trust of the Chinese Football Association as always.
