According to the plan, the new Chinese men's football team led by new coach Li Xiaopeng will gather in Shanghai on January 11, kicking off the first training camp in 2022. Since the first practice on the 12th to the 23rd, the whole team took a charter flight to Japan on the away flight was less than 2 weeks apart, and the team planned to play two internal teaching matches on the 16th and 20th according to the rhythm of the 12th rounds, so the time left for the whole team to run in was very limited. In other words, Li Xiaopeng and his coaching team have been racing against time from the first day of training.
According to the preparation plan, after the Chinese team is concentrated on the 11th, it will carry out the first joint training of this training session at the Century Park Stadium in Shanghai's Pudong New Area on the 12th. Sixteen international footballers from Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Harbor Club were postponed to shanghai on the 14th due to their participation in the FA Cup final in Chengdu on the 9th. In addition to the current naturalized players in Brazil, Axon, Alan, Fernando, Luo Guofu and Wu Lei and Li Lei, who play for European clubs, a total of 46 players will participate in the Shanghai training camp.
From the arrival of the members of the coaching team in Shanghai on the 10th to the 23rd of the national football delegation to japan on the away game is only less than two weeks, this new coaching team first needs to clarify the specific division of labor before leading the team. Some coaches and players who are not familiar with each other, players and players also need to strengthen the run-in, which means that the time left for the coaching staff and international footballers to implement technical and tactical work is more limited.
Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned on the 9th that due to the impact of the epidemic, the Japanese government has introduced very strict restrictions on the entry of foreign personnel since the end of November last year. To this end, the Japanese Football Association has also recently put forward a request to the Chinese Football Association to reduce the size of the Chinese team delegation to Japan. Not surprisingly, the size of the Chinese team delegation's visit will be controlled at about 60 people.
According to the plan, the Chinese team will play two internal teaching competitions in Shanghai on the 16th and 20th of this month. Considering the importance of the away matches against Japan and Vietnam, the coaching staff must determine the main lineup and formation before leaving japan. After Wu Lei, Li Lei and some naturalized players go straight to the Japanese rendezvous team, the national football team will use several training sessions in the matching ground to further polish the lineup. Therefore, Li Xiaopeng and his assistants must seize the time to familiarize themselves with all aspects of the team and improve the efficiency of the preparation work as much as possible.
