In Abu Dhabi on the morning of December 21, local time, the Chinese men's football team started its third outdoor training in the stadium set up by the resident hotel, which is also an important part of their training in Abu Dhabi. According to an exclusive report by "Beiqing Sports", Xu Xin, a new member of the team, also participated in the training. After two consecutive days of high-intensity training, the national football team adjusted to the rhythm of one practice a day today, and the fatigue of the players after training made them bluntly say, "I just want to fall asleep".
In the face of the first warm-up game of this training camp that will be held on the 25th, the coaching staff wisely decided to adjust the training on the 21st to a more moderate one-day practice. During the 70-minute training session, coach Jankovic not only arranged physical training, but also skillfully guided the players through formation and position movement, gradually mastering the tactical strategies to be used in the upcoming warm-up games.
The Chinese team's resident hotel is located on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi, and it is no coincidence that the location was chosen here. In addition to the proximity between the training ground and the accommodation, the more important thing is that the environment here is extremely quiet, which is conducive to the preparation of the whole team for the whole team. For most of the training time in the future, the national football team will strictly follow the two-point-one-line lifestyle from the hotel to the training ground, and devote all its energy to training and games.
According to the scheduled plan, the Chinese team will play a warm-up match against the regional sports club teams of the second division of the UAE on the 25th. The team is currently ranked 8th out of 14 participating teams and is in the middle of the technical level of the league. Although the strength of the opponent should not be underestimated, Jankovic's "devilish training" undoubtedly added more confidence and combat effectiveness to the Chinese team.
Jankovic's training philosophy is known for its uniqueness and rigour, and his "devilish training" not only tests the physical fitness and skill of the players, but also sharpens their will and team spirit. Previously, the national football team has used closed or semi-closed long-term training camps many times, and this time Jankovic has carried out devilish training to the end, and the effect may only be known until the start of the game!
