After Liu Yang and Li Ke joined the team one after another, a total of 29 players participated in the national football team's joint training the night before yesterday.
In the training that night, head coach Ivankovic arranged for the first time 11-on-11 group confrontation training, which not only helped the players clarify their positions and responsibilities on the field, but also deepened their understanding of the four-back formation they advocated. familiarity.
After a training session that lasted nearly 120 minutes, the team members truly felt the "terrifying" side of new coach Ivan.
According to the plan, the Chinese team will conduct the last two outdoor trainings before the expedition in Shenzhen and select the final candidates for the away game in Singapore.
It is reported that Exxon arrived at the National Football Team yesterday afternoon, and then the whole team took a "family photo" of Ivankovic's first training session at the venue.
The whole team will leave for Singapore tomorrow morning to participate in the away game against the Singaporean team in the top 36 of the Asian region of the World Cup preliminaries on March 21.
All 29 players have arrived on the team
That night, the Chinese team conducted the fifth outdoor training session of the new training camp at the Shenzhen Youth Football Training Base.
Left back Liu Yang and midfielder Li Ke, who had just joined the team, both appeared.
As a result, except for Li Shuai, who has retired from injury, and Exxon, who has been under physical observation recently, the other 29 players selected for this training lineup have all arrived on the team.
Left center back Li Ang suffered a recurrence of an old ankle injury. From the beginning of training, he was running circles on the sidelines accompanied by the team doctor.
However, due to the relatively sufficient personnel, head coach Ivankovic still arranged various types of ball training for the whole team in accordance with his main technical and tactical ideas.
Among them, in the last half hour or so of the training session, he arranged for the players to conduct 11-on-11 group confrontation training within the two penalty areas.
This is also the first time that Ivan’s coaching team has arranged such a full-lineup group confrontation since the start of this training session.
The goal is to win the opponent away from home
It is understood that for the upcoming third round of the top 36 match against Singapore, which is also the first official game in which I lead the national football team, Ivankovic’s goal is only - that It means we must win the opponent on the road.
Facing the weakest opponent in the same group, the Chinese team will not hesitate to play offensive football.
Prior to this, Ivan had a relatively detailed understanding of the personal technical characteristics and physical conditions of all the selected national players through field inspections and information provided by several Chinese assistants. Therefore, he did not have any problems in arranging the confrontation lineup. obstacle.
For example, Zhang Yuning, who was moved to the left side of the offensive line by head coach Suarez at the Guoan Club to participate in the return defense, is still the center in the national team.
Xie Wenneng, a newcomer who has played well on the wing of the Taishan team, was placed on the offensive wing by the national football coaching staff.
It should be noted that because the Taishan team participated in the second round of the AFC Champions League quarter-finals on the evening of the 13th, the five international players of the team, Wang Dalei, Li Yuanyi, Fernando, Micro Motion, and Liu Yang, did not participate in the evening of the 15th. Group confrontation training.
Xie Wenneng, who came on as a substitute in the match on the 13th, and Chen Pu, who did not appear, both participated in the confrontation training.
The idea of "mainly playing four defenders" will not change
It is understood that when coaching the Oman team, Ivankovic once promoted the 442 battle formation.
Judging from the recent preparations for the Chinese team, Ivankovic will most likely "transplant" similar tactics to the Chinese team.
Although the coaches will adjust the lineup and formation according to the actual situation, the national football team's "main four-back" thinking in the future should not change much.
The reason why Ivankovic arranged 11-on-11 group confrontation training from the day before yesterday was because he hoped that the players could become familiar with their on-field responsibilities as soon as possible and improve their sense of position.
During the training, the players were deeply impressed by Ivan's high requirements for offensive and defensive speed and ball success rate. They also had a "devil" impression of this amiable coach off the court.
With the development of high-speed and high-intensity confrontation training, the players' bodies are also exhausted.
After the training, many international players have experienced physical fatigue reactions.
After returning to the resident hotel, their appetites were whetted.
