Original title: U23 National Football Team warm-up 2-0 Changchun Yatai Dai Weijun broke the door and overaged players debuted
At noon on April 24, the 1999 U23 national football team led by Serbian coach Jankovic played a warm-up match with the Changchun Yatai team, who were also preparing for the Chinese Super League in Haikou, at the Wuyuanhe Stadium in Haikou. As a result, with one goal each scored by Dai Weijun and Sun Qinhan in the first and second half, the U23 nation was enough to win 2-0.
Dai Weijun, Zhu Chenjie, Zhang Linpeng, Wu Xi, Zhang Yuning and other national team players appeared in this game successively as “internal aid”. Among them, Dai Weijun and Zhu Chenjie made their debut, and Zhu Chenjie also played the full 90 minutes. The rest of the internationals played for an average of regarding 30 minutes. This is also the first time that three “overaged” players have represented the U23 national football team following Jankovic took the lead. Judging from the scene, the three overage internationals are obviously better than the juniors in terms of technical ability and awareness of passing and receiving the ball. Jankovic also affirmed the running-in effect of the new and old players and the team’s performance in this game.
According to the epidemic prevention regulations, the national football team and the U23 national football team ended the “14+7” day medical isolation observation on April 24. Since the Chinese Football Association confirmed the assignment of the U23 national football team to participate in the new East Asia Cup men’s football competition to be held in Japan in July, the U23 national football team, at the strong request of the head coach Jankovic, prepared with the same Haikou at noon on the 24th. The Yatai team of the Chinese Super League played the last warm-up match of this training session.
During the closed training camp in Haikou, the U23 national football team “borrowed” a total of 5 international players, including 3 overage players Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng and Zhang Yuning. The reason for this operation is to help the U23 national football team improve their competitiveness in the Asian Games men’s football competition. It is precisely because the “new aid” is in place that Jankovic hopes to test the status of several over-age players through the warm-up on the 24th, and promote the running-in between new and old players.
Perhaps considering that the three overage players arrived late, Jankovic did not arrange them into the starting lineup. However, Zhu Chenjie and Dai Weijun, two national players of the right age, both debuted as starters. Among them, Dai Weijun opened the scoring for the team in the 23rd minute. Sun Qinhan scored the second goal of the U23 national football team in the middle of the second half. The three overage players basically played in the last 30 minutes of the game.
Judging from the situation reflected in the front, the three over-age players are obviously better than the juniors in terms of comprehensive ability. Being able to end this training session with a victory, the U23 national football team is in a good mood. Of course, what Yankovic values is not the result of an innocuous warm-up game, but the attitude of the team’s players to always maintain a desire for the game and victory.
After the game, the U23 national football team members who were also released from quarantine will also leave Haikou one following another. It is expected that the whole team will regroup around July 10 to prepare for the 2022 East Asia Cup football game to be held in Japan in late July.
