The national football team returned to China for the first training! Ivan interviewed: Playing Japan with the determination to score points, many injuries + will make up for it

On the evening of November 15, Beijing time, the Chinese men's football team conducted its first training session after arriving in Xiamen. And after the training, coach Ivankovic was also interviewed on the sidelines. After 2 consecutive wins, Ivan bluntly said that against Japan, the national football team is determined to score points. The following is a transcript of the interview:

Talking about the away lore against Bahrain

Bahrain are a strong team and we won away from home, so it's fair to say we played at our best and we deserved it. The win will definitely bring something special to the team, including a relaxed atmosphere, but the most important thing for us is the confidence.

In addition to the players, we have to thank everyone else for their efforts, the coordination of all aspects of the Football Association, including our training camp in Dubai, our overnight return to Xiamen, and the efforts of many people behind the scenes to help us reach our goals.

Talking about the next round of home games against Japan

As soon as the draw was announced, it became clear to us that this group was the toughest of the groups, as evidenced by the first round.Next home to Japan, we have to give it our all, we have to play with our dreams and the determination to get points.

Talking about injuries within the team

The injury situation is really serious and a number of important players may not be able to play.Li Lei will definitely not be able to play, whether Zhang Yuning and Wang Shangyuan can play depends on the recovery situation, and then we will recruit players in a targeted manner.

Talk about the team's current run-in

We have 15 or 16 new players and we need time to build the team and the tactics, and as we play at a higher level, the players get better together and get closer to a good team. We are also very happy that our players are coming to the camp with dreams and patriotism to give back to the fans with their performances.

Talk about the home stadium of Xiamen and Egret Stadium

Coming to every city in China gives us a very strong sense of freshness, Xiamen is a very modern city, I am also the first time to come, Xiamen has a lot of green plants, I am very impressed. Egret Stadium is also a very beautiful stadium and hopefully we can play there very well.

According to the arrangement, the match between the Chinese men's football team and the Japanese team will start at 20 o'clock on the 19th. Since the Japanese team's 5th round match with Indonesia was only played on the evening of the 15th, the national football team invisibly rested for 1 more day, and also had a home advantage. In the case of "waiting for work", coupled with the morale brought by 2 consecutive wins, it is by no means impossible for the national football team to fight for points against Japan at home.
