According to the plan, the Chinese team will play the first teaching match of this training session with the Changchun Yatai team of the Chinese Super League at the Mission Hills Football Training Base in Haikou at 4 p.m. on March 9. At present, in addition to the 5 naturalized (naturalized) players and Li Lei, who plays for the Swiss Grasshopper Club, the remaining 30 players have been gathered. Head coach Li Xiaopeng was also able to follow his own technical and tactical ideas to grind the lineup and formation for the last two rounds of the next 12 rounds.
It is understood that although the national football team has recruited 5 naturalized (naturalized) players in this period of training (competition), whether to choose them to participate in the two top 12 matches in the second half of this month, the coaching team still needs to make a decision through comprehensive evaluation. To this end, the Chinese Football Association has temporarily hired some foreign physical coaches who are currently overseas to conduct physical evaluations of several naturalized (naturalized) players in Brazil and other countries. Only those who meet the criteria will be allowed to participate in West Asia. The coaching team will strictly refer to the "technical level, physical condition, spirit and will quality" and other judging standards in the selection and employment of personnel, and will never superstitiously believe in the so-called "big name" players.
With the arrival of Zhang Linpeng and Wu Xi in Haikou on March 7, all 30 international footballers who participated in the Haikou training of the national football team were gathered. According to the training plan formulated by the coaching staff, the team will play a warm-up match with the Chinese Super League Changchun Yatai team, which is also preparing in Haikou on the afternoon of the 9th.
The Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that although 5 naturalized (naturalized) players and Li Lei, who plays for European clubs, have not yet arrived at the team, the coaching staff has made full plans for various situations, including the lack of naturalized (naturalized) players to go to West Asia to participate in the last two rounds of the round of 12. With the three teaching matches during the training period in Haikou, the team will also grind the lineup and formation for these two important games.
It is understood that before the national football team kicked off the prelude to the Haikou training camp, the team instructed someone to maintain contact with several overseas players. At present, the team has informed Li Lei to apply for a visa to Oman for him. The team also maintains online contact with 5 naturalized (naturalized) players. However, as of now, whether these 5 people can finally go to West Asia to meet the team is still unknown.
The Beiqing Daily reporter learned from the national football team that in view of the fact that the two naturalized players Alain and Luo Guofu were not in an ideal state in the previous two rounds of the round of 12 matches, the Coach and management team of the Chinese team have decided to make a comprehensive evaluation of several naturalized (naturalized) players in the near future from the perspective of being responsible for the preparation of the team and maintaining the unity of the team. To this end, the Chinese Football Association has also specially hired some foreign physical coaches to conduct various physical tests on naturalized (naturalized) players in the countries where they have recently been located. Only if the indicators meet the requirements of the national football coaching staff, then they will eventually be recruited. The relevant person of the national football team explained: "Players who play in the World Preliminary Tournament must fight. If you fight the game, your physical fitness and spirit must be guaranteed, otherwise, you cannot be recruited. ”
In fact, through the three teaching games in Haikou, coach Li Xiaopeng not only tested the current technical ability of the players, but also tested the competitive status and will quality of the international footballers. This selects players who are suitable for the final two rounds of the Round of 12. Strict draft and employment standards are also an important prerequisite for ensuring the unity of the team in the eyes of the Chinese Football Association and the coaching staff of the national team. As the relevant people in the team said: "For any type of player, you can't be overly superstitious. The interests of the team must be safeguarded. If the team does not meet the requirements in terms of technology and spirit, any so-called 'big name' can not be used. ”
According to the plan, after the Chinese team warmed up with the Yatai team on the 9th, it will also warm up on the 12th and 15th. Prior to that, the team had considered two warm-ups with the U23 national football team. However, considering that the two national teams will go to West Asia to participate in different matches, and the U23 national football team has not participated in international competitions for more than 2 years, in order to avoid injuries to U23 football players due to intensive warm-up, the national football team finally decided to warm up with the U23 national football team on the 15th. As for the warm-up opponent of the national football team on the 12th, it is most likely that it is still the Changchun Yatai team.
