At 2:00 a.m. local time on January 18, Tang Jiali, a striker for England’s Tottenham Hotspur club, arrived safely at the Chinese women’s football team’s residence at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in Mumbai, India. So far, all 23 Chinese women’s football players who participated in the 20th Women’s Asian Cup have gathered in front. After some adjustments, the team will also conduct technical and tactical drills in the second outdoor joint practice on the afternoon of the 18th local time.

In the middle of the night on January 17th, Beijing time, a group photo of Chinese women’s football international Tang Jiali and Japanese women’s football international Mana Iwabuchi in the waiting hall of London Heathrow Airport was uploaded on the Internet. The two, who played for Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal respectively, took the same flight to Mumbai, India, to participate in the new Women’s Asian Cup, which will be unveiled on the 20th, and the 2023 World Cup Asian qualifiers.

The Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that Tang Jiali left London for Mumbai on the morning of the 17th local time. When the plane arrived in Mumbai, it was already in the early morning of the 18th local time. When she arrived at the resident hotel of the Chinese Women’s Football Team in Mumbai, it was already more than 2:00 a.m. on the 18th.

With the arrival of Tang Jiali, the 23 players of the Chinese women’s football team who participated in this Asian Cup gathered together. It is understood that after the Chinese women’s football team arrived in Mumbai in the early morning of the 16th local time, they did not train on the same day because they waited for nucleic acid testing and underwent self-isolation and observation for a certain period of time as required.

The first practice of the Chinese women’s football team in Mumbai is scheduled for January 17th from 3:00 to 5:00 pm local time. It only takes about 25 minutes by car from the station to the training ground. Considering that the players are relatively tired recently, the coaching staff did not arrange intensive training content during this training period, and there was no ball skills and tactical training. It is understood that as long as Tang Jiali passes the nucleic acid test, she will be able to accompany the team to participate in the team’s second outdoor joint practice on the afternoon of the 18th local time. The coaching staff will also consciously arrange the training of technical and tactical content according to the needs of the first round, and polish the main lineup and formation.

The calendar shows that the Chinese team will face the Chinese Taipei team in the first round of the group stage on the 20th. In terms of strength comparison, the Chinese team has an absolute chance of winning. Of course, the first game of any competition is not easy to play, and head coach Shui Qingxia also reminded the players not to have any thoughts of underestimating the enemy.

For the Chinese team, in addition to making every effort to prepare for the battle, epidemic prevention work is the top priority of all tasks. At present, the entire team will always stay in the independent area of ​​​​the resident hotel except for training.Return to Sohu, see more
