According to the Beijing media, Guoan arrived in Shanghai yesterday and opened a new round of preparation today. However, in addition to the international team, including foreign aid Bakambu, 2 naturalized players Li Ke and Hou Yongyong have not returned to the team, and because coach Bilic is still in the quarantine observation period, the team is temporarily led by a physical coach.
Compared with the Shandong Taishan and Tianjin Jinmen Tiger teams, which began to assemble and prepare in early September, Guoan's preparation for the battle was long overdue, and the preparation period for the FA Cup began in late September.
As the international team followed the national football team to prepare for the round of 12 in Sharjah, UNITED Arab Emirates, coupled with the termination of Augusto, Vieira and Fernando, the current personnel of Guoan can be described as seriously untidy. In addition, 2 naturalized players Li Ke and Hou Yongyong were unable to return to the team for training due to injury and were still in the healing period, so Guoan's enthusiasm for the FA Cup is not high, and it is not surprising that he chose to start preparing in late September.
In addition to the internationals, Hou Yongyong and Li Ke, Guoan's current top player Bakambu has not returned to the team, but the rest of the players, led by Park Sung, have arrived in Shanghai on the 22nd.
Although Guoan coach Bilic has arrived in China before, due to the needs of prevention and control policies, Bilic is still in isolation, so Guoan is temporarily led by physical coach Ivo.
On the 23rd, Guoan officially opened a new stage of training and preparation, first of all, it is the recovery of physical fitness, but the substitute coaching team led by Ivo will also communicate with Bilic at any time to adjust the training content. The FA Cup starts in mid-October, and Guoan has no warm-up plans.
