3-0, 1-0! The national football team vowed to score points against South Korea, and Jankovic warned Wei Shihao that he had surpassed Kashuai
Facing the strong South Korean team, although the national football team is at a disadvantage, although it is not favored by the outside world, the Chinese team still has the possibility to create its own miracle: to take points from the opponent. The most obvious example, before the 2017 World Preliminary Tournament at home against South Korea, how many people would have thought that China could win?
In the 2017 round of 12, the national football team sat in Changsha to face the South Korean team. Since it was an official match, the South Korean team sent the strongest lineup in this game. The then national football coach Lippi calmly dealt with it and sent Yu Dabao to play as a striker. It was this decision that allowed the national football team to win this game that seemed impossible to win to the outside world.
In addition to Lippi, another national football coach who won against South Korea was Gao Hongbo. In the 2010 East Asian semifinals, the national football team faced South Korea in Japan. The South Korean team can be said to be the main force in this campaign, and the national football team at that time was led by Deng Zhuoxiang, Gao Lin, Yu Hai and others, full of youth and vitality. As a result, Deng Zhuoxiang became famous in a fight, helping the national football team defeat the South Korean team 3-0, creating the largest score difference between the national football team and the latter.
Lippi and Gao Hongbo were able to lead the team to defeat South Korea, of course, not because of the superiority of the national football team. On the contrary, the national football team was not favored by the outside world before the game. But the result is that when it is not favored by the outside world, the national football team is often able to relieve the pressure and play normally or even abnormally. It was under such circumstances that the national football team encountered South Korea again, let alone at home.
After the reversal against Thailand in the last game, the morale and state of the national football team have improved a lot, and every player seems to be full of confidence. According to the "Beijing Youth Daily", the national football team held an internal meeting after returning to China to clarify the goal of the Sino-Korean war: to score points. In other words, the goal of the national football team is to get at least 1 point.
If the national football team wants to score points, in addition to not making mistakes in defense, someone must also stand up and score. At present, the national football team can take on important responsibilities, and they are Wu Lei and Wei Shihao. For Wu Lei, there is no need to say much about strength. But Wei Shihao is a double-edged sword, and how to use him well is a great test of Jankovic's wisdom.
It turns out that if Wei Shihao can be tamed, he often plays well in the game. It was Cannavaro who did this before, and now it is Jankovic, who is also the only national football coach who dares to start with Wei Shihao in the world preliminaries. Coincidentally, in the 2019 China Cup, Cannavaro briefly coached the national football team, and the result was a 0-1 defeat to Thailand. Unexpectedly, 4 years later, Jankovic completed revenge for Kashuai. In terms of coaching the national football team alone, Jankovic is indeed better than Kashuai. This is also reflected in the management of Wei Shihao.
In an interview a few days ago, Jankovic used the mouth of the media to "warn" Wei Shihao: If someone hurts the interests of the team, including some extreme boundary behavior, he will immediately kick this person out of the team. The carrot stick is used together, this is Jankovic's strategy to tame Wei Shihao. In this Sino-Korean War, will he become the next Yu Dabao?
