National Football Coach Jankovic: Our destiny is in our own hands
Guo Jian, special correspondent of China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily
At noon on January 21, local time in Doha, national football coach Jankovic said at the press conference before the third round of the Asian Cup group match that no matter how the opponent Qatar team rotates personnel, “from the perspective of the team itself, the fate is still in its control. In our own hands, we just need to be prepared as we should and go all out to win.”
“We strive to win this game and qualify directly.” Jankovic said, “It is not easy for the Qatar team to score 6 points in two games and advance early. Of course, they can rotate their personnel. This It’s their own business, and what we have to do is make our own preparations.”
Starting from the routine training on the 20th, Wei Shihao, who is injured and absent, has already participated in the joint training. In view of the fact that the frontcourt attack speed of the first two rounds of the national football team was slow and there was no “explosive point”, he has strong persistence. Wei Shihao, who has the ability to penetrate the ball, may be able to help the team put pressure on the opponent in the frontcourt – in the previous World Cup preliminaries away game against Thailand, it was Wei Shihao’s pass from the left that assisted Wu Lei to grab a goal and stabilize the morale of the army. “The Qatar team not only performed well in the first two rounds of this Asian Cup, they have always performed well.” Jankovic said, “We participate in this exciting game with respect and strive to win this game. Contest.”
The match between the national football team and Qatar will be held at 23:00 on January 22, Beijing time, at the Khalifa International Stadium, the famous “devil’s home stadium” in Qatar. Another match between Tajikistan and Lebanon in this group was held at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium at the same time. As of press time, all five groups except Group F have completed the second round. Among them, the third-placed Syrian team in Group B and the third-placed Palestinian team in Group C both have 1 point. The third-placed Indonesian team in Group D and E The third-placed Bahrain team in the group both scored 3 points. This means that if the national football team cannot win against Qatar in the final round of Group A and hold 4 points, or the Tajikistan team draws with the Lebanese team and “walks” the national football team to qualify directly as the second place in the group, they will have to wait for the third place in the remaining groups. Only at the end of the round will you know whether you can advance to the top 16.
“We are very happy to be able to advance as the first in the group one round early. This is the result we want.” Qatar team coach Marquez Lopez said, “Although the Chinese team has achieved good results in the first two games. They got a draw, but they are still a very strong team and we will not relax our requirements for the game just because we have qualified.”
