National football training
Physical fitness is the mainstay
The national football team has opened the first day of training on January 12, and the team's main purpose in the early training is to reserve physical fitness, so the huge coaching team will not have a clear division of labor for the time being. What is certain is that when the national team leaves Shanghai for Japan, about half of the coaches will leave, and the coaches who will leave will most likely be responsible for the training of the second team or the second group in Shanghai.

Cooked without raw
The so-called "first team and second team" or "group two" is actually after the deadline of the second batch of players on January 14, all the personnel will be divided into two, and the grouping is basically based on the players who go to Japan to participate in the round of 12 players will be divided into a group, and most of the players in this group will be players who have played in the round of 12 before. The other group is basically dominated by newly recruited players, or young players, and players in this group are unlikely to go to the round of 12.
Such a grouping is also easy to understand, because players who have not experienced the top 12 cannot appreciate how difficult the top 12 is, especially the huge psychological pressure that not everyone can bear. This is like the two rounds of the national team in the United Arab Emirates last November, the overall performance is better than the september and October matches, one of the important reasons is that after the first four games of actual combat, the international players have clearly adapted to the rhythm and intensity of the round of 12.
As a coaching staff that has just taken over, in the case of such a short time, it will basically be "familiar without raw", and it is a more stable transition method to follow the past lineup. What's more, for the coaching staff headed by Li Xiaopeng, they are also recruits, and as coaches, they have not experienced the cruelty of the top 12 matches, which is completely different from the World Cup they experienced 20 years ago. This is also more necessary to be stable in terms of players, use more old players to complete the two games in front of them, and then after this transition period, it is a wise choice to choose the replacement of new and old.
This may also explain why so many players are recruited from another angle, the draft is one aspect, through a training camp, all the suitable players in the country are gathered together so that the coaching staff can observe closely; on the other hand, according to the requirements of the coaching team, the national team hopes to arrange two high-quality warm-up matches before playing in Japan. However, in the current epidemic prevention policy, it is impossible to invite foreign strong teams to Come to China to warm up with the national football team, nor can it go out to arrange warm-up matches. In the past, the Chinese Super League and Chinese First Division teams accompanied the national football warm-up match, and because the 2021 season has just ended, the club teams are basically in a state of holiday, so it is impossible to play a warm-up opponent.
As a result, the national team recruited so many players and divided them in two, to put it bluntly, it needed someone to play the role of "reading with the prince" and help the other half of the players play two warm-up games to adjust their status. Of course, those who perform well in the warm-up match may also have the opportunity to be added to the list of the Eastern Expedition to Japan.
As for the rest of the matter, we need to wait until after the 7th and 8th rounds of the Round of 12, because the top priority at the moment is to prepare for the battles of Japan and Vietnam.

Zhu Chenjie returned to the hotel
On the afternoon of January 13, the Chinese men's national football team, which was training in Shanghai, went to Century Park Stadium to conduct the second training session. Zhu Chenjie, who temporarily left the team due to physical reasons on the day of registration, returned to the team again, but did not participate in the joint training with the team. Li Shuai and Liu Ruovan, who had just completed the Super League play-off with their respective teams, rushed directly from Jiangyin to Shanghai to report to the national team. In this way, the national team has now reached 30 people.
On the first day of the national football registration day, 28 of the 52 international footballers rushed to the hotel, among which Zhu Chenjie was arranged to return home to rest because he showed abnormalities in the routine temperature check. As a result, the actual number of the team is only 27. After two days of rest, Zhu Chenjie's body temperature has been completely normal and he has returned to the national team. However, from a safety point of view, the coaching team did not arrange for Zhu Chenjie to go to the training ground with the team for training, but went to the gym for recovery training on his own.
In addition, Li Shuai and Liu Ruovan, who completed the Super League play-off with their respective clubs on the 12th, also rushed to Shanghai to report to the national team after a day of rest, and followed the team to the training ground. However, the two only jogged on the sidelines to recover. Yin Hongbo, who missed the 12-day training due to physical discomfort, also appeared on the sidelines. However, he and Zhang Xizhe, under the guidance of team doctor Coty, conducted recovery training alone in the gym next to the stadium. Both were unable to train normally because of old injuries. The remaining 25 players, under the direction of physical coach Will, first began to train physically.
Since the international footballers have just carried out the Chinese Super League and have only rested for less than 10 days, the early training of the national team is mainly based on physical training and physical reserves, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent technical and tactical training and ball training.
