On the afternoon of January 16, the national football team also held an internal teaching match, Zhu Chenjie and Wang Ziming scored one goal each, so this internal teaching game was tied 1-1. From this teaching match, it can also be seen that the state and attitude of the players are very good, which makes Li Xiaopeng, Zheng Zhi, Sun Xiang, Gao Yao and other coaching team members in the stands feel very satisfied.
According to the original plan, the national football team will select the list of 40 people in recent days, and after the second internal teaching game on the 20th, the 25-man roster for the World Preliminary Round will be finalized. On January 27, the national football team will fly to Tokyo to play against the Japanese team, because it is an away game, coupled with the strength of the Japanese team is very strong, so many fans are not optimistic about the prospects of this game.

Coming world preliminaries. But this is only a verbal promise, according to head coach Li Xiaopeng, they prefer to believe in black and white assurances.
In addition, Zhang Tengfei, the Portuguese translator of the previous national football team, was not selected for the current national football training team lineup, so it can now be determined that the four players of Ferrando, Luo Guofu, Jiang Guangtai and Alan will not play in the World Preliminary Tournament with Japan. Once these four naturalized players do not go out with the team, then for the national football team, against the Japanese team is not only a simple chance of winning, it may be exploded by the opponent, even if it is against the Vietnamese team, the national football team may not have the certainty of victory. After the end of the first six rounds of the World Preliminary Round, the record of 1 win, 2 draws, 3 losses and 5 points ranked fifth in Group B, and there is still a gap of 6 points from Australia, which is third in the group.
