On March 9, the Chinese men's football team, which was training in Haikou, played a warm-up match with the Chinese Super League team Changchun Yatai, and finally the two teams shook hands 1-1 to make peace, and Li Xiaopeng had not yet won the game after taking office. At this stage, 30 players of the national football team participated in the training, and Li Xiaopeng arranged two sets of lineups to appear to fully investigate the players. According to the arrangement, on the 12th and 15th, the national football team will also have a warm-up match with the U23 national football team.
The national football team began training in Haikou on March 3, originally planned li Xiaopeng to recruit 33 players to participate in training in Haikou, Deng Hanwen was temporarily absent, Wu Shaocong and Jiang Shenglong supported the U23 national football team, and the remaining 30 players participated in the training. Due to various reasons, the training lineup of the national football team was relatively neat until March 7, and Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng, Yan Junling, Gao Zhunyi and other players returned to the team to participate in the team's training.
After Li Xiaopeng took office, he lost to Japan and Vietnam in the two World Preliminary Round of 12 matches, which also put him under more pressure. In the next two World Preliminary Round of 12 matches, the national football team will face Saudi Arabia and Oman on March 24 and 29, and it is reported that Li Xiaopeng has been asked not to have another collapse in these two games, that is, to refuse four consecutive defeats. Under such circumstances, Li Xiaopeng did not greatly adjust the training lineup of the national football team, but only fine-tuned on the basis of the original, and strived to play in the next two World Preliminary Round 12 matches with a relatively complete lineup.
During the Haikou training period, Li Xiaopeng plans to arrange three warm-up matches for the national football team, which are against the Chinese Super League team Changchun Yatai on the 9th, and against the U23 national football team on the 12th and 15th. In the warm-up match on the 9th, Li Xiaopeng arranged different lineups to play in the first and second half, and the main purpose of the game was to examine the players and mobilize the state of the players. In the first half, Liu Dianzuo, Liu Yang, Zhu Chenjie, Yu Dabao, Gao Zhunyi, Tong Lei, Liao Lisheng, Jin Jingdao, Zhang Xizhe, Zhang Yuning and Dai Weijun started, Liu Yang accidentally swung himself, and Liao Lisheng scored to equalize. Interestingly, this lineup is a 3-back formation, Liu Yang, Zhu Chenjie and Yu Dabao form a three-back, and Gao Zhunyi and Tong Lei are wing-backs.
In the second half, Li Xiaopeng arranged for 10 players to play successively, Zheng Zheng, Zhang Linpeng, Wang Shenchao, Ji Xiang, Gao Tianyi, Yan Dinghao, Duan Liuyu, Wei Shihao and Liu Binbin, barton came on as a substitute halfway, and neither team scored. Under normal circumstances, the 30 players who are now participating in the training camp will not all go to West Asia with the team, so Li Xiaopeng will also have to filter through the warm-up match to determine the list of players in West Asia.
In addition to the 30 players trained in Haikou, Li Xiaopeng also recruited 5 naturalized players and Li Lei, a foreign player, who will arrive in the United Arab Emirates on March 18 to meet the national football team, but whether they can meet the requirements of the game, the national football team will still evaluate. Naturalized players Luo Guofu, Alan and Jiang Guangtai participated in the previous two round-12 matches, Axon and Fernando were absent, both of them have not played an official game for a long time, the state is unknown, Li Xiaopeng also has to be prepared for both hands. In addition, Li Lei may delay his arrival as he gradually gains more playing time in the Swiss Grasshoppers and the coaching staff allows him to report to the UAE after playing in the league.
The latest news on the 9th shows that the referee of the national football team against Saudi Arabia and Oman has been determined, the UAE referee Hassan law enforcement of the 24th national football team against Saudi Arabia, south Korean referee Gao Hengjin law enforcement of the 29th national football team away match against Oman. Hassan and Gao Hengjin have both played in the round of 12 of the national football team, and the national football team members are relatively familiar with their law enforcement style.
