On the morning of January 17, the Chinese team conducted the fifth outdoor joint training of the first training session of the new year at the Shanghai Pudong Century Park Football Stadium. Since about 2/3 of the international players who arrived in Shanghai participated in the internal teaching competition held on the afternoon of the 16th, the 6 players Wu Xi, Hao Junmin, Zhang Yuning, Yu Dabao, Zhang Linpeng and Chi Zhongguo who showed fatigue after the game did not participate in the morning of the 17th. training. Obviously, less than a week before the whole team left for Japan, the national football coaching staff with Li Xiaopeng as the head coach has consciously strengthened the protection of national footballers, especially key national footballers.
The Chinese team will continue to train in Shanghai on the 17th as planned. Unlike the previous training schedules that were scheduled to take place in the afternoon, the training on the 17th was scheduled to take place in the morning.It is understood that only 6 of the 44 internationals who have arrived in the team failed to participate in the outdoor training on the 17th. The six people are Wu Xi, Hao Junmin, Zhang Yuning, Yu Dabao, Zhang Linpeng, and Chi Zhongguo. Except for Zhang Linpeng, the other 5 people represented the red team and the white team as starters to participate in the in-team teaching competition on the afternoon of the 15th. Before that, Zhang Linpeng had always been one of the absolute main players in the team’s defense.
The main reason for the above-mentioned 6 people’s absence from the joint training on the 17th was that they experienced different degrees of physical fatigue after participating in the competition on the 15th. The coaching staff arranged for them to rest, mainly to protect them. After all, in less than a week, the whole team will go to Japan. These 6 players are not unexpected, and they will all go out with the team.
In fact, although the Chinese team has recruited 52 players in this training camp, due to various objective factors, as of now, only 44 players have arrived in Shanghai to report. Among the 5 naturalized (naturalized) internationals, except Jiang Guangtai who participated in the second stage of the Chinese Super League, the remaining 4 all returned to Brazil for vacation early. Considering factors such as personal training and international travel conditions during the epidemic, it is difficult for these four to rush to Japan to compete. As for whether Jiang Guangtai, who is in Dubai, UAE, can help the team in time, it also depends on the specific situation.
Among the players on the team, there are also absolute newcomers such as Hou Sen, Gao Tianyi, Zhao Honglue, Wu Shaocong, Wang Zhifeng, Jiang Shenglong, Han Jiaqi, and Yan Dinghao. In response to major events such as the top 12, even if the coaching staff intends to use this training camp to speed up the blood update of the personnel, it will not take the risk of using too many newcomers in the next two away games.
A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily saw at the national football training site that many players, including Yin Hongbo, Zhang Xizhe, and Li Ang, had been absent from the team’s joint training for many times due to injuries and physical fatigue. More than half of the 15 Taishan and Haigang internationals who were delayed to the team also missed the 16th game. It is reported that until the morning of the 17th, Yin Hongbo was still undergoing physical recovery training in the gym outside the venue accompanied by Italian rehabilitation teacher Coti. He will not be able to participate in joint training until the 18th at the earliest.
Taking into account various practical factors, the “old faces” represented by Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng, and Hao Junmin are still the main force that Li Xiaopeng’s team relies on for the first time. It is also necessary for the team to strengthen the protection of such players.
There is also a special reason why the Chinese team’s training on the 17th was arranged in the morning. That is, according to the relevant requirements, the coaches, athletes and staff who have not yet received the third shot of the vaccine will be vaccinated collectively on the afternoon of the 17th.
It is worth noting that as of the afternoon of the 17th, Taishan striker Guo Tianyu, who asked for leave due to family matters, still failed to arrive at Shanghai.
