After returning to Shanghai in the early morning of February 3 and being transferred to the Taimei Xiangguli Hotel in Suzhou Taihu Lake in the afternoon of the same day, the Chinese men's football team will take a few days off in Suzhou and plan to resume training on February 6 to prepare for the final two rounds of the Round of 12 in late March. It is understood that due to the impact of objective factors such as the epidemic, the match between the Chinese team and the Saudi team in the 9th round of the 12 round of the round of the 12th round on March 24 is likely to continue to be arranged in Sharjah, the united arab emirates. Although the Chinese team has not been able to reach the final round of the World Cup in Qatar in advance, the whole team still has to fight the last two rounds of the round of 12 matches.
The Chinese team will be under closed isolation observation for a period of "14+7" days in Suzhou. This means that the whole team will not be released from quarantine until February 24 at the earliest. In the next 20 days, the Chinese team will continue to arrange training.
It is understood that on the evening of February 3, including members of the Working Group of the Chinese Football Association, a considerable number of team members watched the broadcast of the chinese team eliminating the Japanese team in the semi-finals of the Women's Asian Cup. I have to say that the different performances of the men's and women's national football teams on their respective "fronts" have made the watching men's football internationals feel mixed in their hearts.
According to the calendar, the 9th round of the round of 12 national football home games against Saudi Arabia and the 10th round of away games against Oman will be played on March 24 and 29 respectively. Affected by the epidemic and the fact that the two rounds of matches are only 5 days apart, the Chinese Football Association is likely to continue to arrange for the national football team to go to Sharjah, UNITED Arab Emirates to participate in the home match with saudi Arabia. If this is the case, the international footballers will still accept a 14+7-day quarantine after playing the round of 12 and returning home, which means that the new season of the Chinese Super League will not start until late April at the earliest. If the "BIG4" clubs of the Chinese Super League all participate in the AFC Champions League with the main force, then the start time of the league will be further postponed.
After disbanding in Suzhou later this month, the internationals will return to their respective places for a few days off before meeting up with their respective club teams. Normally, however, their training time with the club team is likely to be short. This is because they will most likely re-report to the national team in mid-March to prepare for the two matches of the month. It can be seen that the Chinese team arranged training during the isolation period of the team in Suzhou, whether from the perspective of cooperating with the club or from the perspective of national football preparation, it is necessary.
Since the new season of the domestic professional league is unlikely to start before the end of the round of 12, the selection scope of the national football coaching team in the next two rounds will still be concentrated among more than 50 people selected for the training lineup in this period. However, due to the team's failure to impact the Qatar World Cup, coach Li Xiaopeng may speed up the speed of "blood renewal" in terms of delineating specific candidates.
