Except for the injured Liu Binbin, 26 players participated in outdoor training on the 13th
Li Tie: Two naturalized attackers will still be entrusted with important tasks
In accordance with the established rhythm of preparations, the Chinese team conducted two training sessions on November 13th local time. Except for the winger Liu Binbin who sprained his waist, the other 26 players participated in the outdoor training that night. It is worth noting that before the start of the training, coach Li Tie had a “single chat” with Alan and Luo Guofu, two naturalized attackers. Judging from Li Tie’s move to put his hand on Luo Guofu’s shoulders, good communication between the two has always been maintained. If nothing else, Luo Guofu and Alan will still be important support for the next round of national football to attack the Australian team’s defense.
As in the previous rounds of competition, the Chinese team will be engaged in more intense training on the third day after the end of each round. Among them, in the morning, the whole team will be divided into groups in the resident hotel gym for various physical training, and in the evening, the whole team will go to the auxiliary field of Sharjah Stadium for technical and tactical training.
On the evening of the 13th local time, a total of 26 players, including goalkeeper Wang Dalei, who was a little uncomfortable before, participated in the joint training. The only one who was absent from training was Liu Binbin, a full-back with a sprained waist. However, his injury is not serious, he should not miss the 16th China and Australia games.
Although the Chinese team failed to win the Oman team as expected in the last round, the Chinese team returned to their normal track from the first practice after the game on the evening of the 12th local time. During the training on the evening of the 13th, the laughter of the team members was heard from time to time. Before the start of the training, the head coach Li Tie called Luo Guofu and Alan to his side to communicate, and then he chatted with Luo Guofu for a while. The picture information shows that during the conversation, Li Tie put his hand on Luo Guofu’s shoulder while smiling, showing that the communication between them was very pleasant.
Luo Guofu was kicked and injured by an Oman player in the previous round, so he did not participate in the training session on the evening of the 12th. However, on the 13th, he returned to the joint training lineup and completed all training units. From the above details, it is not difficult to see that Li Tie is satisfied with the performance of the two naturalized players in the previous round. It is understood that the Chinese team will most likely continue to entrust them with important tasks in the next round of competition.
According to the plan, the Chinese team will participate in the theory class in the resident hotel on the morning of the 14th local time. The content is to conduct a professional analysis of the Australian team’s technical and tactical play and the personal abilities of the players, and arrange the last two before the game accordingly. The specific content of the outdoor training.

The main central defender is seriously injured and the old player of the Super League makes up
In the early morning of November 13, local time, the Australian team, which was the opponent of the Chinese team’s top 12 in the sixth round, flew to Dubai, and then conducted the first outdoor training after arriving there on the evening of the 13th local time. It is understood that the team’s main central defender and also an important scorer, Suta was seriously injured in the fifth round of the game against the Saudi team. It was confirmed that he was not eligible to participate in the current round. Therefore, the coach Arnold temporarily recruited two players before the departure. Including McGovern, an old Chinese Super player.
After squeezing the Saudi team 0-0 at home in Sydney, the Australian team stayed at the resident hotel on the morning of the 12th for recovery training, and did not leave for the UAE until more than 10 o’clock that night. It is understood that the flight time from Sydney to Dubai is more than 12 hours, and when the team arrived in Dubai, it was already more than 5 a.m. local time on the 13th.
Since the Australian coach Arnold led the Australian Olympic team to participate in the Tokyo Olympics in late July this year, he went directly to Dubai to arrange overseas training camps for the Australian U22 team. Therefore, he is very familiar with the local situation and is implementing this book for the Australian team. On the issue of the training schedule for the second time, it is also handy.
For the Australian team, the biggest difficulty, relatively speaking, is that the main center defender, 1.98 meters tall, Suta was seriously injured. He was seriously injured in the last round of home games against Saudi Arabia. Although his specific injuries have yet to be officially confirmed, Australian media have reported that Sutta will face a truce of the longest year and he will definitely miss the match with the Chinese team.
In this case, Arnold temporarily recruited two players to fill the spot. They are McGowan from Kuwait Sports and Bailey Wright from Sunderland, England. Among them, the defender McGovern is a veteran of the Chinese Super League, once played for Luneng and Jianye. Both of them failed to play in the first round of the two teams on September 2.

Xu Xin: Waiting for the debut of the national football team for eight or nine years
On the evening of November 13, local time, before the start of training, the midfielder Xu Xin, who had represented the national football team for the first time in the last round of the China-Arab match, was interviewed by the media. He said that in order to make his national football debut, he has waited for eight or nine years. Unfortunately, for the first time on behalf of the national team, the team failed to win.
Nine years ago, Xu Xin represented the National Youth Team in the U19 Asian Youth Championship in the UAE. However, in that tournament, the Chinese team was out early with a terrible record of three consecutive losses in the group stage. Since that session of the Asian Youth Championship, the National Youth Team failed to make it into the knockout rounds in multiple Asian Youth Championships, and it is impossible to compete for tickets to the World Youth Championship.
At the beginning of 2016, Xu Xin went to the UAE with the 1993 National Olympic team to compete in the Rio Olympic football match. However, the team still suffered a three-game losing streak in the Olympic preliminaries and was at the bottom of the group stage standings. After that, Xu Xin has not been selected for the national team at all levels, until the 11th of this month, he completed his personal debut for the national team in the top 12 national football match against Oman at home.
Regarding the “first show”, Xu Xin concluded: “The first show of the national team is indeed a long wait. From my heart, playing for the national team is an honor first, and of course it will be a little nervous. After all, this is waiting. The first time I played after so many years, and it was an important main match of the top 12, so it would have some psychological pressure. However, after the kick-off, the situation was much better, not so nervous, and all the attention was focused. It’s the game.”
Xu Xin also revealed that he received encouragement from coaches and teammates in the team before the game. He said, “After all, there is not much time for training in the national team, including coaches and teammates who have been communicating with me before the game, or conducting enlightenment and doing work, so that I can play more freely on the court. They are in other places. They also gave me a lot of help.”
Xu Xin revealed that after the match between China and Argentina, coach Li Tie also fully affirmed his performance on the spot. He said, “Director Li often helps me with training, and often gives tips in some areas that need to be strengthened. After the game, I also got praise from Director Li, which may be regarded as an encouragement to me. This is my number one. This time I played on behalf of the national team and played a normal level. It was the first time I played on behalf of the national team and it was not affected too much.”
Regarding the change of 3 points to 1 point in the national football match between China and Algeria, Xu Xin said: “Actually, I think the point of integration depends on which angle you look at. The most important thing for us now is to let the players get a little improvement through this kind of competition. , I can learn some valuable things. Because of the current situation, affected by the environment, the epidemic, including long-term overseas training, everyone’s body is not in an optimal state. This is for sure. And the past 3 During the month, we did not have any official competitions, and then suddenly participated in this kind of international highest level competition. To be honest, it was really difficult for us. So I think that participating in this kind of competition definitely requires everyone to participate in every game. Do our best to fight. We have to win every game, but we also have to face up to the gap between our team and some teams. The most important thing is to be able to see our own progress.”
For the next round of the China-Australia game, Xu Xin looked forward to: “The Australian team should be considered the toughest team in our group. We still have to face it with a learning mentality. Of course, learning returns to learning. We are on the court. We have to show our mental outlook. I think this is the most important thing. Through this kind of competition, we can learn from experience and get better step by step.”
