A few days ago, according to domestic media reports, the appearance time of the new national football team has been finalized. The national football team will first carry out the first training after the Lunar New Year. Then, after a period of training in China, the national football team will go to New Zealand and participate in two international warm-up matches to test the team's preparations.
According to Beijing Youth Daily, the Chinese men's football team will travel to New Zealand in late March for training and participate in two international warm-up matches during this period. The national football team has a particularly heavy task in 2023, in addition to playing well in the Asian Cup, it also has to play in the World Preliminary Round. Therefore, the national football team should start to sound the rallying call after the Spring Festival at the latest. Of course, the premise of the national football team sounding the rallying call is that the manager must be finalized.
The selection of the national football team has been very slow, and there has been no clear candidate so far. During this time, the media and fans were optimistic about the former Suning meritorious coach Olaroyo coaching the national football team. Olaroyo is a very high-level coach who has led Jiangsu to the Chinese Super League championship. Olaroyo has coached in both Asia and the Chinese Super League for many years and is particularly familiar with both Asian and Chinese football.
So, fans and media are optimistic about Olaroyo coaching. If Olaroyo becomes the manager of the Chinese team, then his first training list will definitely be biased towards the former Jiangsu team's favorite player. Like Wu Xi, Ji Xiang, Xie Pengfei, Gu Chao, Huang Zichang and other Olaroyou's favorite generals, they will all be selected. After Huang Zichang's transfer to Jianye this season, he has always been able to shoot well, and there is a trend to usher in a new peak of his career.
Huang Zichang is a particularly optimistic player of Olaroyo, and when he coached Jiangsu team, he was called Messi in the Chinese Super League. Therefore, Huang Zichang may become the core of the attack after Olaroyo coaches the Chinese team. In addition, Wu Lei, Yan Junling, Zhang Linpeng and other Hong Kong aces will also be selected for the new training list of the national football team. Although Wu Lei has left La Liga, the local shooter can hope to surpass his shooter, and has not yet appeared. Therefore, it is reasonable that Wu Lei was reused by Olaroyu. As for Wei Shihao, who has a prominent personality, Olaroyou may feel that he can't control it, which will make him temporarily unavailable to the national team.
