With most of the players reporting to the national football team yesterday, on the afternoon of the 18th, the national football team will fly to Dubai and then take a bus to Abu Dhabi to start a three-week training camp in Abu Dhabi. According to reporter Ma Dexing, this training camp in Abu Dhabi, the national football team will not rent the local club's venue for training, and the hotel will bring its own fully enclosed professional football field.
According to the itinerary plan of the national football team, after assembling in Shanghai on the 17th, it will fly to the United Arab Emirates on the afternoon of the 18th, but this assembly does not require all members to be present, and if there are international players who are willing to go to Abu Dhabi on their own, they can fly directly. Therefore, there are 4-5 internationals who will go directly to Abu Dhabi to wait for the big team, including Wu Shaocong and Jiang Guangtai.
The national football team departed from Shanghai, and did not fly directly to Abu Dhabi, but arrived in Dubai first, and transferred to a bus from Dubai to Abu Dhabi. It's just that unlike the previous training camps in Abu Dhabi and renting the venue of local clubs, the hotel in Abu Dhabi this time not only has swimming pools, training rooms and other facilities, but also has its own professional football training ground, so the national football team can complete a full set of training sessions in the hotel.
This choice also allows the national football team to implement closed management when necessary, so as to avoid the leakage of technical and tactical content. In addition, according to the report of reporter Ma Dexing, the original warm-up opponent of the national football team in early January next year, India, is likely to be unable to be a sparring partner for the national football team due to training reasons, India only assembled on December 30, and chose to fly directly to Doha after the assembly, so the national football team that has been staying in Abu Dhabi is likely to be unable to play with the opponent.
