“Li Xiaopeng Phase I” is expected to train on January 10 next year
The vast majority of international football players are familiar faces in the first half of the top 40 games, and they will choose a few young players with potential. Several naturalized into variables
Before the new Chinese men’s football coach Li Xiaopeng left Shanghai on December 8, he had in-depth communication with the leaders of the Chinese Football Association and the new national football team leader Qi Jun on the future preparations of the national football team. According to the plan, the Chinese team’s new training session, the “Li Xiaopeng Phase One”, will kick off around January 10 next year. Taking into account factors such as the climate and the convenience of exiting the country, the National Football Team will still arrange the training location in Shanghai with a high probability. According to the Beijing Youth Daily reporter, in order to ensure the stability of the team, Li Xiaopeng, who has just picked up the national football coach, will not make major adjustments to the national football team. “. If conditions permit, the national football team will have two warm-up matches in Shanghai before leaving for Japan.
The new training session of the National Football Team has arrived ahead of schedule
Around January 10 next year
Although Li Xiaopeng has not yet determined the candidate for the assistant coach, he quickly communicated with the head of the Chinese Football Association and the new team leader the general plan for the team’s new training session, considering the urgent preparation of the Chinese team in the Qatar World Cup preliminaries. The calendar shows that the Chinese team will play away against Japan and Vietnam on January 27 and February 1 next year. Since the FA Cup and Super League play-offs of this season will end on January 9th and 12th next year respectively, considering that the international players need to rest, the new training session of the National Football Team may have been scheduled to start after January 15th next year. . However, given that the Chinese team still has theoretical hopes of qualifying, both the Chinese Football Association and Li Xiaopeng himself hope that the team can have a good performance in the next two away games. Under this circumstance, the National Football Team plans to advance the time of the new training camp to around January 10 next year.
As the Chinese Super League matches will be closed on January 4 next year, most international players can get a week or so of rest before the start of the training camp. As for the international football teams of Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Haigang, who will participate in the FA Cup final on January 9 next year, they can report to the national team after a few days of rest after the match.
Li Xiaopeng will choose a few with potential
Young players enter the national team
After Li Xiaopeng took up his new post, his thoughts on employing people have attracted people’s attention. After he confirmed that he took over the national football team, there was speculation that his draft criteria might be quite different from that of his predecessor Li Tie. However, the Beijing Youth Daily reporter was informed that the vast majority of the international players participating in the “Li Xiaopeng Phase I” training camp are familiar faces representing the team in the first half of the top 40 games. However, on this basis, Li Xiaopeng will select a few potential young players to add to the national team based on the league situation, so as to prepare for the Asian Cup the following year and the team’s longer-term development. From another perspective, maintaining personnel stability also helps the team’s tacit understanding. After all, they are more familiar with and adapt to the competitive rhythm, opponent situation and competition environment of the top 12. It is understood that the number of people participating in the new national football training camp is around 30 people.
The location of the “Li Xiaopeng Phase I” training camp is likely to be arranged in Shanghai. There are two reasons: first, since the start of the second half of the top 40 matches, the national football team has gone to West Asia to participate in the competition, and the entry and exit locations are Shanghai. At the moment of the epidemic, the national football team should not change the place of departure; on the other hand, the weather conditions in Shanghai and the Japanese team in the seventh round of the national football team are relatively similar.
New coach faces 4 naturalized nationals
Can I participate?
Like his predecessor Li Tie, Li Xiaopeng also believes that it is necessary for the Chinese team to warm up to test the effectiveness of training and adjust the state of competition before leaving for Japan. However, the real problem lies in the fact that after a hard New Year’s Eve season in the Chinese Super League, the staff are generally exhausted. After the Chinese Super League ends, the players need to take a good rest. Therefore, as the Chinese team cannot invite foreign teams to warm up in China in the short term, it is also difficult to invite domestic club teams to warm up.
In addition, Li Xiaopeng also faces another problem, that is, among the 4 naturalized nationals, Luo Guofu will definitely miss the match between China and Japan because of the accumulation of 2 yellow cards. Alan and Exon also returned to Brazil for vacation. Jiang Guangtai has not yet clarified whether to participate in the second stage of the Super League. The course of the naturalized players is not within Li Xiaopeng’s control. According to the preliminary plan, the national football team will depart for Japan on January 23 next year after training in Shanghai for about two weeks. The previous preparation time is less than two weeks.
