At noon on August 26, Beijing time, the special plane taken by the national football team landed at Doha Airport in Qatar. Due to comprehensive factors such as epidemic prevention and control, the loss of the first two home games of the World Preliminary Round is a foregone conclusion, qatar Doha will become the "neutral home" of the national football team, and Li Tie and the international footballers will stay in Doha for at least 60 days.
In addition to the international team, there are also national football coaching team, management team, medical security, equipment management, media services and chefs in Doha, and the entire team numbers nearly 80 people. It is reported that the national football officers and service teams carried a total of nearly 700 pieces of luggage, with a total weight of nearly one ton, and the logistics support was "armed to the teeth".
Many teams, such as Australia, China and Iraq, have placed their "neutral home" in Doha, Qatar. The Qatari medical and epidemic prevention department attaches great importance to epidemic prevention and control, and has formulated a very strict "bubble" competition plan. All teams can only move at three o'clock in the hotel, training ground and playing field, and violators will be expelled from the zone.
Nucleic acid negative to train
Away from the international competition, training after getting off the plane is a routine action of the Chinese national team. After all, the international footballers are physically and mentally tired after taking a long flight, and even if they only jog and move the ball in the green field after landing, it is also a good physical and psychological relaxation.
Unfortunately, on the first day of arrival in Doha, the national football team could only "eat three box lunches" in the room. According to Qatar's epidemic prevention regulations, the national football team can only "go to the prescribed area for activities" after the report of a negative nucleic acid result is issued. Due to the late arrival of the nucleic acid test results, the national football coach Li Tie could only cancel the first training session originally planned for the evening.
The international footballers stayed at the Doha Marriott Hotel this time, which is located in the city center and the transportation is more convenient. According to relevant people of the national football team, the national football team occupies three independent floors of the hotel to carry out strict epidemic prevention management. The team has independent entrance and exit and elevator, independent meeting rooms and restaurants, and all meetings, meals and other services need to be done by themselves, all are self-service. In doing so, it is to minimize the contact between the national football team and the outside world and strengthen the management of epidemic prevention.
Wu Lei took on the responsibility of scoring goals
The national football team competed in the Top 12 of the Asian Region of the Qatar World Cup, led by Chen Shuyuan, chairman of the Chinese Football Association. In order to better help the national football team, the international wu lei directly gave up the opportunity to play the third round of La Liga, and flew to Doha in advance to meet the national football team.
As the only foreign player in the national football team at present, in the previous World Preliminary Round of 40 matches, Wu Lei scored 8 goals and assisted 3 times in 8 games, almost single-handedly bringing the national football team to the top 12. In the first two rounds of La Liga this season, Wu Lei started 1 time and made 1 substitute, showing a good competitive state.
With the addition of Wu Lei, the national football team will face the two teams of Australia and Japan with the strongest lineup. These two teams are the strongest in the group, and if the national football team wants to qualify, these two games need to strive to get points.
Wu Lei said in the column "Wu Lei Zhou Ji": "This is my 100th La Liga game, I am here again, back to La Liga. In this stage, I am not much worse than others, and I am also very competitive. Next, I am going to Qatar to meet the national team, a new journey is about to begin, I hope to take every step without regrets. Come on! ”
The national football team does not abandon the real home stadium
The national football team temporarily set the "neutral home" in Doha, Qatar, which is the choice in the context of domestic and Asian epidemic prevention and control. According to the schedule of the AFC League, the Qatar World Cup Asian Qualifier Round of 12, the first 4 matches of the national football team are played in Doha, Li Tie and the international players need to face the challenge of "long-term closure".

Considering that the team members will be stationed in Doha for more than two months, the Chinese Football Association plans to arrange for the families of naturalized international footballers to come to Doha to achieve family reunification. As for the Chinese domestic footballers, due to the impact of epidemic prevention and control and visa policies, it is relatively difficult for them to obtain a Qatari Doha visa.
Dai Xiaowei, director of the Media and Public Relations Department of the Chinese Football Association, revealed, "Our national team players have worked very hard in the past six months, with league and national team game tasks, but also quarantine, some are physically and mentally exhausted, and they cannot be with their families. Tired of continuous combat and the challenge of being far away from family, the national football team must work hard to solve the worries of the logistics. ”
Once the epidemic situation in Asia does not improve, the national football team in November's two group matches, the theory may still be held in Doha, which also means that the international footballers will stay in Doha in a closed environment for more than 90 days, unprecedented. It is reported that the Chinese Football Association is still working hard to enjoy the real home treatment for the national football team, and strives to make the two rounds of group matches in November into a real Chinese home under the premise of many conditions.
