According to the plan, the Chinese men’s football team will gather in the Shenyang market on May 27 to prepare for the life-and-death match against Thailand at home on June 6 in the top 36 of the World Cup preliminaries. Head coach Ivankovic plans to go to Shenyang this week to i - Lujuba

According to the plan, the Chinese men’s football team will gather in Shenyang City on May 27 to prepare for the life-or-death match against Thailand at home on June 6 in the top 36 of the World Cup preliminaries. Head coach Ivankovic plans to go to Shenyang this week to inspect the competition venue, and then go to Changchun to watch the Yatai team's home game against Beijing Guoan in the 12th round of the Chinese Super League. With Wu Lei suspended in the China-Thailand match, Exxon's league appearance rate extremely low, and Fernando injured, Ivan has been focusing on "looking for a gun" recently. Guoan team winger Fang Hao, who has been in outstanding form in recent times, and Yatai team veteran center Tan Long are both important targets for Ivan's inspection during this trip to Changchun. When it comes to recruiting new players, the national football coaching staff will pay special attention to the players' mobility. The

calendar shows that the 14th round of the Chinese Super League will be played on May 26, and then enter the intermission period. The Chinese team will regroup in Shenyang on the 27th to prepare for the upcoming round of 36 match against Thailand on June 6. It is understood that the national football coaching team will finalize a new training list of about 28 people after the 12th round of the Chinese Super League this weekend at the earliest.

head coach Ivan is scheduled to go to Shenyang and Changchun this week. The purpose of his trip to Shenyang was to inspect the conditions of the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium, the venue for the China-Thailand competition. As for going to Changchun, I want to watch the Yatai team’s home game against Guoan team in the 12th round of the Chinese Super League on the evening of the 17th.

The main purpose of Ivankovic's observation is to pay attention to several important players on the offensive end of the two teams. Although the Yatai team is currently at the bottom of the Chinese Super League standings, the team's center Tan Long has always been in good form this season. In the previous 11 rounds, he played 11 times, including 10 starts, scoring 4 goals and 1 assist. Such data is very rare for a 36-year-old veteran.

In addition to Tan Long, Zhang Yuning, Lin Liangming, and Fang Hao of the Guoan team are all the coaches' key targets. In particular, Fang Hao, promoted by Guoan coach Suarez, has occupied the main position on the offensive end of the Guoan team and is one of the contributors to the team's five consecutive victories in the Super League. Although Fang Hao's skills were not refined enough, his hard running and fighting attitude on the court left a good impression on Ivan's coaching team. He is expected to enter the national football training squad under Ivan for the first time.

There is no doubt that the China-Thailand match on June 6 is a "life and death battle" that will determine the national football team's competitive prospects in this World Cup preliminaries. Ivan’s coaching team and the Chinese team have no room for trial and error in this game. In this case, it is very important for the coaching staff to choose what kind of technical and tactical play and what type of players to use. The team's replenishment of fresh strength in this period is not a general purpose of reserving and training new players, but it is hoped that the added fresh strength can achieve timely and usable effects.

It is understood that when selecting the national football team, the national football coaching staff attaches great importance to the players' mobility, which is the running ability on both ends of the offense and defense, including the ability of offensive players to return to defense. This is an objective necessity for competition in today's international football competitions. Therefore, the national football coaching staff uses such indicators as the main reference for the draft when examining players.

Prior to this, technical midfielders like Zhang Xizhe of the Guoan team showed superior passing awareness and passing footwork, but their mobility, physical confrontation and back-and-forth running ability were limited. If it does not meet the requirements of high-intensity and high-speed competitions such as the World Cup preliminaries, the national football coaching staff has been considering it recently. After all, the Thai players have good speed and skills and cannot give their opponents too much space to pass the ball on the spot. This is actually the reason why young players with excellent impact and running ability such as Fang Hao, Xie Weneng, and Wang Zhen'ao impress the coaching staff.
