On the afternoon of January 24, local time, the Chinese team went to the Saitama 2002 World Cup Stadium for the first outdoor training after arriving. Naturalized players Luo Guofu and Alain missed the training session as they waited at the airport for the results of the nucleic acid test. However, the new Spanish head coach Pep has arrived in the team, and he and another Chinese assistant coach, Chen Yang, have entered the leading role during the first training session. The division of labor in the coaching staff has also been implemented with the arrival of Pep. Coach Li Xiaopeng's next main job is to "pinch" the whole team as soon as possible.
The Chinese team flew to Tokyo, Japan on the afternoon of January 23, local time. Since all employees must undergo nucleic acid testing at Narita Airport as required and wait for the nucleic acid test results to pass before they can go to the station hotel, the whole team did not enter the hotel until 8:15 p.m. local time on the 23rd. The team's first training had to be scheduled for the 24th.
It is understood that a total of 24 players, including "overseas players" Wu Lei and Jiang Guangtai, can participate in the first outdoor training after the arrival of the whole team on the afternoon of the 24th local time. Naturalized players Alain and Lo Guofu did not arrive in Tokyo until about 11 a.m. local time that day, and they also needed to wait for the nucleic acid test results, so they did not have the opportunity to participate in the afternoon joint training.
Since the "second battle" of the China and Japan Round of 12 will start on the 27th, the Chinese team has only 3 opportunities to practice before the match. In this case, the team's afternoon training on the afternoon of the 24th quickly entered the theme of the technical and tactical exercise after a simple physical recovery content.
It is understood that the new Spanish assistant coach Pepp arrived in Tokyo before the large troops flew to the area. On the 24th, he also wore the Chinese team coaching costume for the first time and took up a new job. In the training process, head coach Li Xiaopeng is more like an "observer". The specific team training work is mainly carried out by Peipu and Chen Yang. The three goalkeepers were led by special assistant coach Li Leilei to conduct more independent training at one end of the field.
Judging from the scene situation, the division of labor of the Chinese team coaching team has been relatively clear. In addition to the above three assistant coaches and physical coach Wilk, the remaining two local assistant coaches Gao Yao and Zheng Zhi are responsible for technical and tactical research and business guidance with the head coach. Zheng Zhi, as a veteran of the national football team, will also inspire and inspire the team members from the spiritual level.
According to the plan, Luo Guofu and Alain will officially participate in the team's joint training on the 25th. After the arrival of the personnel, the coaching staff was able to run in the main lineup and formation of the 27th game more completely.
