On December 18, the national football team set off from Shanghai to Dubai, and then to Abu Dhabi to officially embark on the road of preparing for the Asian Cup. After the first two rounds of the World Preliminary Round of 36, the national football team was on vacation, and this time it was assembled for the Asian Cup in January next year, first going to the United Arab Emirates for training, recovering from physical and competitive condition, reversing jet lag, adapting to the climate, and then going to Qatar, the host city, before the Asian Cup started.
Before going to Dubai, the national football coach was interviewed, very low-key, Jankovic said that in physical fitness, as well as technical tactics and psychological construction, there will be a certain amount of training, there will be a few warm-up games before going to Qatar, and the whole team has plenty of time to prepare for the Asian Cup. As for whether the goal of the Asian Cup is the quarterfinals, Jankovic did not respond positively, saying that he would not say big things, and the goal could only be the first game in the next game, step by step.
Wu Xi also said that he would actively work hard to prepare for the Asian Cup, step by step, and do his best. This kind of game is more of a test of the state of the game, lower the profile and fight for each opponent. Wu Xi used to have a good performance in the Asian Cup, and this time he is also the captain of the national football team.
The grouping of the national football team in the Asian Cup is still good, and Qatar and Lebanon are old rivals, and Tajikistan is in the same group, Qatar and Lebanon have changed coaches, the team is in internal turmoil and run-in, although Qatar is the winner of the Asian Cup, and the home game, but the national football team is not without opportunities.
As for the warm-up match of the national football team, there are certain changes, according to the plan, the national football team will warm up with the Oman team during Abu Dhabi, and the match with India on January 6 is likely to be canceled due to changes in the opponent's schedule. At the same time, the national football team will also play two teaching matches with local teams in the United Arab Emirates to fully prepare for the Asian Cup.
Looking forward to the performance of the national football team in the Asian Cup, strive to play with spirit and prepare for next year's World Preliminaries, as for the semi-finals or championships, to be honest, there is not much hope, so it is more important to play out their strength and state and cheer for the national football team.
