On the evening of January 7, the Chinese Football Association officially announced the new national football training notice. As shown above, in addition to the original foreign staff such as Chris, the Belgian technical director of the association, his assistant Roy and the Italian rehabilitation doctor Coty, the Spanish assistant coach Jose Pepp and the Brazilian physical fitness coach Owen Wilk also joined the Chinese team. However, like many of the team's naturalized players, Pep has not been able to rush to China to participate in the team's training camp during the Shanghai period recently, and it is still doubtful whether he can directly go to Japan to meet the team away.
Judging from the content of the new training notice of the national football team released by the Chinese Football Association on the evening of the 7th, the naturalized players Jiang Guangtai and Alan who are currently with Guangzhou Football Club, as well as Luo Guofu, Axon and Fernando, who have terminated their contracts with the club and returned to Brazil, have all been recruited by new coach Li Xiaopeng. However, with the exception of Jiang Guangtai, who returned to China with the national football team in November last year and represented Guangzhou in the second stage of the Chinese Super League, there is no definite answer to whether the other four naturalized (naturalized) internationals can continue to prepare with the team and participate in the remaining matches of the round of 12.
It is understood that Jiang Guangtai is still in China, although the prospects of Guangzhou Football Club's share reform are still unclear, but Jiang Guang is too likely to participate in the national football Shanghai training camp and go to Japan with the team. Alain, Lo Guofu, Axon and Fernando are all currently in Brazil. Among them, the top 3 represented the national football team in the previous rounds of the 12 rounds, and they have also expressed their willingness to continue to play for the national football team, but because they are currently on leave in Brazil, whether they can participate in systematic training is unknown, and although the national football team maintains contact with them, it cannot accurately grasp their physical state. Even if they return to the team, they will only be able to rush directly from Brazil to Japan to meet the team away.
As a close partner of Li Xiaopeng during his coaching at the club, it is no secret that Pep has entered the coaching staff of the national football team. However, it is understood that this person is currently in Barcelona, Spain. Affected by factors such as epidemic prevention policies and limited international travel conditions, he is unlikely to catch up with the training of the national football team during the Shanghai period as scheduled. This means that he will also go to the team as early as to go to Japan to meet the big troops.
It is also understood that including Sun Jihai, Shao Jiayi, Zheng Zhi, Zhao Junzhe and other 11 former international footballers, a total of 13 local coaches participated in the coaching work of the national football team in this period, but the purpose of their entry into the team is as long as they cooperate with the huge lineup of players to implement the team leadership work, some of them will leave the national football team after the end of the Training in Shanghai, and will not go to Japan with the team.
