For the Chinese national football team, the feeling of being at home has indeed been a long time lost. Their last home game can be traced back to May 30, 2021, in the Asian quarter finals of the World Cup qualifiers against Guam. Time has passed, and that competition has been 747 days since then. Looking at the world, perhaps only the Chinese national team has never played a truly meaningful home game in the past two years, and only the Chinese national team has hardly played any international exchange matches in the past year.
This game is also the first domestic debut of the new head coach of the Chinese national football team, Jankovic. Before the game, he sighed and said, "I am very happy to return to home to play.". This match marks the official debut of Dalian Suoyu Bay Professional Football Stadium, which was originally one of the venues for the 2023 China Asian Cup. Although the tournament was cancelled due to the pandemic, these modern professional stadiums are still valuable assets.

The opponent Myanmar team is not particularly strong in this match, currently ranking 160th in the world and 81st in the national football team. It is worth mentioning that in the match between the Chinese national football team and Myanmar team at home in 2018, they only won one goal.
For the Chinese national football team, the goal of this game is not only to win, but also to win enough excitement. Coach Jankovic stated before the game that the team is well prepared and will give their all to win the game. In the game, the Chinese football players showed a good mental state, played actively and proactively, and used pressure style kicking to control the situation.

In the end, relying on the brace from Zhang Linpeng, Lin Liangming, and Wu Lei, the country was able to win 4-0. For the Chinese national football team, this game not only means returning to home, but also serves as a new starting point for the team in the new World Cup cycle in China.
According to the schedule, the Chinese national football team will continue to face the Palestinian team on June 20th. This is Yankovic's second international match window since taking office. In March of this year, he led the team to play two friendly matches against the New Zealand team, with the Chinese team having a record of 1 draw and 1 loss.
