On August 19, the Chinese team went to Shanghai Houpier Sports Park for the second outdoor training of this training session. Since all the internationals of the clubs in the Suzhou division of the Chinese Super League can arrive at the hotel where the team is staying on the evening of the 19th, there are still only 14 internationals participating in this training session. Before the start of training, Exon, a naturalized player from the Guangzhou team, was interviewed by the media. Exon once again answered the weight problem that the outside world is concerned about.
In the Super League this season, Exxon returned to his state. As of the end of the first stage of the competition, he led the Super League scorer list with Neigang from Changchun Yatai with 11 goals. Regarding this result, Exxon explained: “It was mainly because of hard work. At the stage just ended, it was very difficult for us, but every time I trained myself, I was very professional. I returned to the previous state and I also entered. More balls can better help my team. I hope that this state can continue to the national team. I don’t know how much strength it can bring, but I will try my best to help the national team. There is also such a state. Thanks to my family, my wife and son, they are with me at such a special moment and give me strength. We are ready and have a good performance in the top 12.”
Regarding how to replicate the good status in the club to the national football game, Exxon said: “The system of the national team is different from that of the club. The club is more flexible and the requirements are not so specific. In the national team, we must follow the coach’s There are specific arrangements for each position. Fortunately, my position is the center position I like. I also hope to score more goals and return the fans and my family. I am very happy now, very happy, this It’s also very important.”
Long-term closure of work and life is a realistic problem facing every international footballer. In this regard, Exxon said: “It is very difficult for the players to stay away from the family. After the first stage of the league, I have 7 days to spend with my family. This is my happiest period of time, my son. He is one year old soon, and we also held a small celebration ceremony for him. Next, we will face a long-term closure, and we must also be prepared to put more energy on the national team. I also talk to my wife. Having said that, we need to prepare for the national team next.”
Exxon’s weight problem is always concerned by the media and fans. Exxon replied: “This is a question that everyone is particularly concerned about. I have been asked many times. I will answer it again. In fact, since I joined the Super League, I have been paying attention. Weight, because I am a professional player, and I am now 32 years old, no longer a young man in his 20s, I pay more attention to my diet, active training on the field, strict diet control off the field. I hope to use the best one State to meet the national team game.”
For the upcoming top 12 tournament, Exxon is full of desire: “I am very happy and motivated. I hope we can achieve good results. Our goal is to advance. For our family and for our friends, I hope the national team can have a good performance in the top 12.”
opponent
The national football team’s opponents in the same group, Oman, scored a warm-up for 3 consecutive victories
The Chinese team, which is preparing for the World Preliminary Round of 12 in Serbia, is in the same group as the Oman team. In the early morning of August 19, Beijing time, they played a game with the Serbian Super League team Spartak Subotica in Belgrade, Serbia. In the warm-up match, the result was a 3-0 victory. So far, the Oman team has achieved a three-game winning streak in the local training.
This game is the third warm-up match that the Oman team has participated in since arriving in Belgrade on July 25. Subotica Spartak team was 9th in the Serbian Super League last season. In the new season of the Serbian Super League, the team has 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses in the first 5 rounds, accumulating 5 points, temporarily ranking 12th.
Because the league has just finished last weekend and will continue to participate in the league this weekend, Subotica Spartak had to use the midweek to warm up with the Oman team. A considerable part of the main players in the team failed to play and warmed up. Quality is discounted.
The Oman team ranked the main lineup in this game. Unlike the 442 formation used in the first two warm-up matches, the Oman team re-selected 4231 formation in this game. In the first half, the main striker No. 11 Mohsin Gassani took the lead in breaking the deadlock for Oman in the 22nd minute; 10 minutes later, midfielder No. 8 Zahr Agbari expanded the score for Oman. At halftime, the Oman team led 2-0. After changing sides, the Oman team replaced all players and played with another lineup. No. 9 forward Abdul Aziz Mukbari scored the third goal in the 79th minute. In the end, the Oman team defeated their opponents with 3 goals.
Prior to this, the Oman team had a 4-0 victory over the Serbian Super League team Klubara on August 11, and five days later, they had a 1-0 victory over the Qatar Sports Club team, which was also training in Serbia. Oman coach Ivankovic hopes that the team will have another warm-up match in the near future, and then set off for Japan from Belgrade on August 23 to prepare for the first round of the top 12 match against Japan on September 2 .
referee
“Old acquaintance” Gao Hengjin may be the referee in the first battle between China and Australia
The Chinese men’s football team will challenge the Australian team, the first opponent of the top 12, in Doha, Qatar on September 2. As usual, the AFC will finalize the referee’s on-the-spot information within 2 to 3 weeks before the match. According to a reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily, the Australian and Chinese competitions have been preliminarily scheduled to be enforced by a group of Korean referees. Based on the previous AFC’s selection of alternative referees for the top 12 matches, Gao Hengjin, who came to China to enforce the Super League last season, may serve as the referee of this game.
The AFC has always adhered to a major principle in the process of appointing referees for the top 12 matches, that is, referees participating in the law enforcement shall not enforce the same group of national (regional) teams (national teams) of their member associations. The South Korean team is in Group A, which is different from the Australian and Chinese teams, and the Australian and Chinese teams are both East Asian member association teams within the AFC. Therefore, it is reasonable to assign a group of Korean referees to enforce the game.
It is understood that a group of South Korean referees have been assigned by the AFC to prepare to enforce the Australian-China war. It is reported that before this, a number of Korean referees have been included in the top 12 alternative law enforcement referee lineups, including two international referees (with referees) Ko Hyung Jin and Jin Xi Kun who were invited to China to enforce the Super League last season. , 4th official, VAR referee’s law enforcement qualifications).
Based on the analysis of various factors, the 39-year-old Gao Hengjin may become the referee in Australia and China, while Jin Xikun may become the fourth official of the game. This is not bad news for the Chinese team at least.
It should be said that the Chinese nationals including the coaches are familiar with the law enforcement characteristics of the two Korean referees. This is because the two of them came to China for a long time last year to enforce the Chinese Super League competitions. For example, Gao Hengjin has acted in the second round of the finals of last season, including Beijing (Zhonghe) Guoan VS Shanghai Haigang (Shanggang) team, the second round of the finals Jiangsu Suning team VS Guangzhou (Hengda) team, Super League In the second round of the relegation playoffs, Zhejiang Greentown VS Wuhan (Zall) team played the highlight of the domestic professional league last season.
Jin Xikun has also executed many key games including the second round of the relegation match between Shijiazhuang Yongchang (now Cangzhou Lions) VS Wuhan (Zall) and the first round of the Super A relegation playoff match last season. In the second half of the top 40 match, the Chinese team defeated the Philippines team with 2 goals, and Jin Xikun was also the referee.
Judging from the past law enforcement situation, in the process of law enforcement of Chinese teams in recent years, the Korean referees have generally given fair penalties and generally have a relatively friendly attitude towards Chinese football. Of course, the most important factor that determines the success or failure of the game is the team’s own technical strength and ability to withstand pressure.
It is also worth noting that some Chinese Football Association-registered international referees, including Ma Ning, Fu Ming and Zhang Lei, appointed by the AFC will also participate in the first and second rounds of the top 12 matches. Law enforcement. In addition to them, several other international referees in China (including two international assistant referees Cao Yi and Shi Xiang) are also stepping up their training to prepare for the upcoming top 12 competition. They can be among the highest enforcement stage in Asian football, which is also an honor of Chinese football.Return to Sohu to see more
