National football coach Li Xiaopeng.
In order to prepare for the round of 12 away matches against Japan and Vietnam on January 27 and February 1, the new Chinese men's football team led by new coach Li Xiaopeng will kick off a new training camp in Shanghai next week.
Considering that the international footballers have just experienced an unprecedented and arduous season, the coaching team and the management team have decided to postpone the team concentration time from the earliest planned 10th to the 11th of this month, and the first joint training of the whole team is expected to begin on January 12 at the Pudong Century Park Training Ground in Shanghai. The team's first in-house teaching competition is expected to take place on January 16.
Two-term national football manager.
There are changes in the selection of internationals
After a comprehensive investigation of the second phase of the Chinese Super League, and with reference to the preparation and competition of the top 40 and 12 national football matches, the new coach and management team of the Chinese men's football team with Li Xiaopeng as the main coach recently circled a list of national football training and has been submitted to the national men's football preparation leadership working group for approval. After the approval procedure is implemented, the Chinese Football Association will officially announce the training plan and the specific list of international footballers participating in the training within this week.
The Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that with the change of the management mode of national football, the selection mechanism of national football will also undergo certain changes.
Not surprisingly, the coaching team will select more than 50 candidate internationals from each club to participate in this Shanghai training camp, and then according to their ability, state and physical condition during the training, no more than 30 people will be selected to compete in the round of 12 japan and Vietnam.
Most of the players who have been put into the training list are old faces who participated in the training and competitions of the teams in different periods before, of course, there are also young and fresh faces such as Gao Tianyi and Yan Dinghao. Judging from the team formation, the international football selection model of survival of the fittest will become the norm in the future cycle.
The national football team will usher in many young faces.
The first outdoor training session is scheduled for the 12th
It is understood that considering the arduous task of the 7th and 8th rounds of the Round of 12, the coaching team originally planned to schedule the start of this training session on January 10. However, the 2021 Season of the Chinese Super League regular season did not end until January 4. The two teams that participated in the final of the FA Cup in Chengdu on January 9 happened to be Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Harbor, which were the big players in this period.
To this end, after communication between the coaching team and the management team, it was finally confirmed that the time for the concentration of international football players was arranged on the 11th, and the coaches, management and service support staff arrived in Shanghai on the 10th.
The team's first outdoor training session is expected to take place on January 12. The two club internationals, who are in the FA Cup final, are likely to be allowed to postpone their arrivals by a few days.
Zheng Zhi is expected to join the coaching staff.
Warm-up competition implementation personnel "survival of the fittest"
In less than two weeks of domestic preparation time, the Chinese team must be diligent and the one hand, but also need to test the training effect through actual combat, and at the same time implement the survival of the fittest of personnel, so the warm-up match is indispensable. Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that the team initially plans to carry out the first teaching game of this training session on January 16.
Affected by the epidemic and other realistic conditions, it is difficult for the Chinese team to carry out an international warm-up during this training period, and because the domestic club team finally got a "rare breath" after an unprecedented and long season, it is difficult to be invited to accompany the national football team. In this case, "internal confrontation" becomes the only viable option for the national football team.
The Chinese team will depart for Japan on the 23rd as planned, so whether the team will have a second warm-up match after the warm-up match on the 16th, the coaching staff will also decide according to the actual situation.
