According to the reporter of sports weekly, the first assistant coach of the national football team, Jose Pep (pictured on the left hand side of Li Xiaopeng), plans to go to Japan this Saturday. It is reported that the tactical design of the two round-12 matches of the national football team against Japan and Vietnam will be mainly responsible for him.
As Li Xiaopeng's former partner, Pep has been in Chinese football for many years and has a considerable understanding of Chinese football. He has worked for Qingdao Huanghai, Shandong Taishan and other teams, although he left China after the end of the 2019 season, he has always been very concerned about the Chinese Super League. After Li Xiaopeng became the coach of the national team, he became Li Xiaopeng's favorite foreign assistant coach.
Although he has not been able to return to China, as the assistant coach of the national football team, he has been paying attention to the matches of Taishan, Wuhan and Qingdao, and has also specially watched the FA Cup final between Taishan and Haigang through live broadcasting to examine the performance of the two teams of international footballers. It is reported that the tactical design of the two round of 12 matches between the national football team against Japan and Vietnam will be mainly responsible for Pep. In the past two weeks, although he is far away in Spain, he has been studying the video of the match between the Japanese team and the Vietnamese team, and for the opponent of the national football team on the 27th, the Japanese team, he carefully studied the video of the first six rounds of the Japanese game and actively looked for the flaws of the other side. At the same time, he also regularly maintains contact with the coaching team of the national football team, and helps the coaching team to inspect the team members and give advice through remote means. Although he has not been able to meet with the national football team, he is still very busy.
"Sports" wrote that Pep plans to fly to Japan on Saturday 22 this week, and is expected to arrive in Tokyo earlier than the national football team. Before the match between the national football team and Japan, Pep and the team have about 3 days to run in, and the national football team will actively practice the technical and tactical playing style and set-pieces against Japan and Vietnam in a limited 3 days after the personnel list is determined.
