On January 20, the Chinese men's football team, which is training in Shanghai, will play its second team warm-up match, which will still be led by Li Jinyu and Chen Yang respectively, and the internationals of Taishan and Harbor can participate. After this game, Li Xiaopeng and the coaching staff will work together to determine the participation list of the World Preliminary Round of 12, and it is expected that up to 29 players will be selected, and more than 20 players will not be able to go to Japan.
In this national football training, Li Xiaopeng plans to arrange two warm-up matches, the first game on the 16th, Li Jinyu and Chen Yang each led a team to play, and finally the two teams fought a 1-1 draw, Wang Ziming and Zhu Chenjie scored a goal each. In the first team warm-up game, the coaching staff only scheduled 50 minutes of play time, and most of the Taishan and Harbor internationals did not play.
On the 20th, the second team warm-up match, Li Jinyu and Chen Yang still led their own teams, and there will be some new adjustments in personnel. The Taishan and Harbor internationals have already met the requirements of the game, and they will also play in the warm-up game to be inspected by the coaching staff. It should be pointed out that Guo Tianyu, a young center of the Taishan team, has not yet participated in the training of the national football team because of family affairs, and he should not be able to play in the warm-up game of the team on the 20th. Judging from the current situation, it is also more difficult for Guo Tianyu to enter the World Preliminary Tournament list for Japan, which is also a loss to the front line of the national football team.
For Li Xiaopeng, the matches against Japan and Vietnam on January 27 and February 1 are still very important, especially during the Spring Festival, the performance of the national football team will attract more attention, and the results of the two games will also have a very big impact on Li Xiaopeng's coaching trend. In an interview, Li Xiaopeng hoped that the international footballers would lay down their baggage, play their own characteristics, and strive not to drop the chain during the Spring Festival.
In terms of naturalized players, Fernando, Axon and Luo Guofu are difficult to play against Japan, and Alain still has the possibility of playing, after all, he has not yet terminated his contract with Guangzhou and is still a member of the Guangzhou team. Jiang Guang has too much probability that he will go directly from Dubai to Japan and can play against the Japanese team, but he has not trained with the team for a long time, and the state is also unknown. Wu Lei will go directly to Japan, and whether Li Lei will enter the final World Preliminary Tournament roster has not yet been clearly answered.
Under normal circumstances, the national football team will determine the participation list of the World Preliminary Round of 12 after the second warm-up match in the 20th, which is initially set to be a 25+4 configuration, and 4 players are candidates. On the 18th, the national football team took makeup photos for the new coaching team and players, and Zheng Zhi not only took makeup photos of the coaching staff, but also took makeup photos of the players. The 41-year-old Zheng Zhi has not yet chosen to retire, and now he is the manager of the Guangzhou team and the assistant coach of the national football team. In the just-concluded Chinese Super League, Zheng Zhi also started and played the whole game, and was elected the best player in the single round of the Chinese Super League. In the next two world preliminary matches, Zheng Zhi will definitely go out with the team, his main task is to assist Li Xiaopeng, but if the team needs, Zheng Zhi still has the strength to play in key games, especially in consecutive away games, which puts forward higher requirements for the comprehensive strength of players, Zheng Zhi's strength at this stage is still outstanding, in the midfield, if he appears, he can still play a role in stabilizing the military.
