Li Ang: In the round of 12, we must try to catch up and look forward to winning the game

With the arrival of the Vietnamese team in Sharjah and the use of the training ground of the Sharjah Stadium, the training of the national football team was moved to the training base of the Sharjah Club, and the team officially entered the final sprint stage of preparing for Vietnam. Before the training on the evening of October 3, center-back Li Ang expressed his thoughts for his family in an interview, regretting that he had only met his newborn daughter once. When it comes to the next opponent, Vietnam, Leon bluntly said that from the coaching staff to the players are fully prepared and full of expectations for winning the game.

In the first two rounds of the group stage with the Asian team, the whole team clearly felt the word "gap". Leon admits that the feeling of the Round of 12 and the Round of 40 is completely different: "The Top 12 is at the top level in Asia, which allows us to see the real gap between us and the asian teams, let us recognize this gap, so that we can face and learn with a more positive attitude and try to catch up." ”

"We have been in a very positive state of readiness during this time. The first two days of making some adjustments and the next few days of training, I think our bodies were able to get to a very good point before the race. When there is no game, they will actively adjust themselves and watch some opponent information given by the coaching staff. In Li Ang's view, studying the opponent well is the way to alleviate the pressure, "First of all, we must understand the opponent, understand the opponent in order to be fearless, can not know nothing." Through the specific information given to us by the coach and the practice of targeted tactical play in training, we are looking forward to winning this game. ”

In recent training, a number of defensive players have been absent due to injury adjustments, among which Zhu Chenjie received stitch treatment for leg injuries and was suspicious. Li Ang, who is also a centre-back, may be paired with Chiang Quang-tae at centre-back in the match against Vietnam. Li Ang revealed Li Tie's requirements for defensive players: "Li Coach's requirements for us are not only put forward in these two days, but also strict from the beginning. As a defender, the position is behind everyone, and we will see the situation on the field more clearly, so we have to echo it, which is a very important part of the whole. Although some players have been injured, I believe that the problem should not be big. ”

At present, the national football team has been away from home for 48 days, and the concern for their families has become the "soft underbelly" in their hearts. "Basically, you can only communicate through WeChat. In fact, in two days, it will be the 100th anniversary of the birth of my second daughter, and I have only met her once since she was born. Compared with the younger daughter, Leon self-deprecatingly congratulated the "boss" that he still knew himself, "I really miss them very much, fortunately the boss still knows me." I wasn't really worried about the situation at home because my family took good care of everything and they were fully supportive of me playing for the national team. Although I miss my family, the race and winning are the most important things right now. ”
