Xinbao News[Reporter Shen Wei]The Chinese team has now arrived in Sharjah, UAE. As the interval between matches is as long as one month, the team will practice behind closed doors here. For the team, what is urgently needed is to warm up with high-level teams, and the national football team will also invite West Asian teams for warm-up matches.
In the first two games of the top 12, the Chinese team exposed its incompatibility with the rhythm of the game. Due to the slow pace of the Chinese Super League, the international players obviously couldn’t keep up with the international arena. In this case, the coaching staff also submitted an application to the Chinese Football Association, hoping to arrange an international warm-up match. The stronger the opponent, the more it can help the team find the game status as soon as possible.
During the preparations in Sharjah, UAE, due to the long time, the team must consolidate the results of training through warm-up matches. The Chinese Football Association is also currently looking for teams from West Asia, especially the top 12 teams that do not have the same group, which will become the primary goal of the national football invitation. The UAE, Syrian and Iraqi teams all hope to become the warm-up targets for the national football team.
Of course, whether the national football warm-up match can be implemented depends on the results of the communication between the Chinese Football Association and the opposing association. In addition, the national football team has always been in the “bubble-type epidemic prevention closed loop” during Sharjah, and the warm-up match must meet the local epidemic prevention regulations and requirements. If it is not possible, the local club team in the UAE will also become the object of consideration for the national football warm-up.
Arriving in Sharjah, the national football team just changed the environment. According to the epidemic prevention regulations, the players are still not allowed to leave the hotel. Fortunately, this time the Chinese Football Association has fully contracted the hotel, which can ensure the safety of the team’s epidemic prevention, and the players will have more free space for activities.
The disadvantage is that Sharjah does not have an air-conditioned stadium like Doha. Taking into account the local climate, national football training and matches must be arranged at night. This time, the national football team will face the test of high temperature.
