It is understood that just before the team’s only internal teaching game on the afternoon of the 25th, the newly recruited defender Zheng Zheng left the team early for some reason. This means that in addition to Zheng Zheng, the remaining 32 players selected for the current national football training lineup have a high probability of going to Doha.
4 people missed the internal teaching match due to injury
A reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily was informed that in order to test the effectiveness of the training camp, to adapt to the top 12 matches, and to improve the competitive state of the team, the National Football Team conducted a pre-Doha deployment at 4:30 pm on August 25 at the Shanghai Houpier Football Park Base. An internal teaching game.
It is reported that Li Lei, Wang Qiuming, Guo Tianyu and Chi Zhongguo missed the internal teaching match due to injuries. In fact, in order to avoid more injuries or aggravate the injuries of injured players, the national football coaching staff has recently flexibly adjusted the content and intensity of training to protect the international players.
Just like when preparing for the top 40 in Suzhou in late May this year, the internal rivalry on the 25th of the National Football Team is also a veritable teaching match. Head coach Li Tie will deploy personnel arrangements in a timely manner according to the situation on the field. The same player may represent the two sides at different times. Therefore, the coaching staff does not care about the score.
Veteran Zheng Zheng leaves the team early on the 25th
On the afternoon of the 25th, news came from Shanghai that Shandong Taishan’s defense veteran Zheng Zheng, who had just been recruited into the team four days ago, had left the team early that day. The reason for leaving the team is said to be family reasons. Although the national team and the coaching staff of Li Tie very much hope that veterans like Zheng Zheng can go to the top 12 with the team, in the face of such a situation, the coaching staff fully understands and respects the players’ personal decisions.
Left-back Li Lei, who was previously injured with relatively obvious injuries, was able to perform running training on the 24th after active treatment and rehabilitation. The coaching staff did not arrange for him to participate in internal competitions, but also protected him from a goodwill perspective. Judging from the situation reflected in the current team, the remaining 32 players (including Wu Lei who is currently in Spain) selected into the national football training lineup will most likely go to Doha to compete.
Football Association leaders decompress and cheer for the players
It is reported that Du Zhaocai, deputy director of the General Administration of Sports and Secretary of the Party Committee of the Chinese Football Association, made a special trip to the national football station on the 24th to cheer and cheer the team for the top 12 competition.
In the morning of the same day, Chen Xuyuan, the chairman of the Chinese Football Association, the main person in charge of the Chinese Football Federation’s preparatory group, and representatives of other responsible persons involved in the organization and management of domestic professional leagues and cups held a working meeting at the Resident Hotel of the National Football Association in Shanghai. Since Chen Xuyuan will lead a national football delegation to West Asia, before leaving, he needs to communicate with the representatives on the important tasks of domestic football and give some instructions.
It is worth noting that during the exchange with the team a few days ago, Chen Xu did not mention the specific performance goals of the top 12 competition, but tried to decompress the team as much as possible. He hopes that the whole team can overcome difficulties, play vigorously, and strengthen their convictions. He himself will continue to provide the team with more tangible support in preparations and competitions abroad through the “Circle of Friends”.
According to the plan, the team will arrive at the destination at around 5 am local time. The team will then be transported directly to the Doha resident hotel through a “bubble” epidemic prevention loop in accordance with local epidemic prevention requirements. Wu Lei and foreign physical fitness coach Adrian Lamb will also arrive in Doha later on the 26th local time to join the team in accordance with the requirements of the training notice.
