All 32 Chinese team players are here
Wu Lei arrives in Doha
After nearly 6 hours of flight, the Qatar flight QR146 carrying Chinese team forward Wu Lei flew safely from Barcelona, Spain to Doha, the capital of Qatar, at 11:17 pm local time on August 26 (4:17 am Beijing time on the 27th). At this point, the 32 Chinese players who participated in the first two rounds of the Qatar World Preliminary Asia Top 12 are all present, and the head coach Li Tie can easily run into the main battle line 5 days before the first round.
In the early morning of August 26, local time, nearly 80 people from the Chinese men’s football delegation arrived in Doha by chartered flight and settled in the Marriott Hotel in downtown Doha at around 7 am local time on the 26th. According to local epidemic prevention regulations, the entire team must first undergo nucleic acid testing at the resident hotel, and then each member must receive no less than 12 hours of medical isolation and observation in their respective rooms. The Chinese team also had to abandon the plan to start the training that night. The team’s two dinners that day were also resolved through boxed lunches delivered by local Chinese staff.
Late at night on the 26th Beijing time, Wu Lei posted a personal departure video message through his personal social platform. It is understood that Wu Lei left Barcelona on the Qatar Airways flight QR146 that took off at 4:20 pm on the 26th local time in Spain (the actual departure time was 4:33). After nearly 6 hours of flight, the flight arrived at Doha Hamad International Airport at 11:17 pm local time on the 26th in Qatar.
Although Wu Lei traveled alone all the way, after arriving in Doha, he was still sent directly to the hotel of the National Football Team through a “bubble” closed-loop epidemic prevention method according to the epidemic prevention regulations. It was early morning on the 27th local time when I arrived at the hotel.
Wu Lei’s return to the team as scheduled means that the national football team has gathered all the players, especially the main players, before the first joint training in Doha. As the first round of the top 12 matches against the Australian team will be held on the evening of September 2 local time, the Chinese team can carry out up to 5 outdoor training before the game.
Although Wu Lei is ready to use, but this time the west expedition, the Chinese team’s lineup has undergone a certain degree of personnel changes. For example, due to the serious injury of Tang Miao, the main player of the top 40 team, the right back of the team will be changed. However, more than 2 months have passed since the final match of the top 40 of the National Football Team on June 15. In the context of the team not having any high-quality international warm-up matches, the coaching staff still needs to arrange internal warm-up matches. To adjust the state of the national team, while running in the main lineup. Therefore, Wu Lei’s timely return to the team is very necessary. Judging from Li Tie’s recent remarks and the situation reflected by the national football team during the Shanghai training camp, the team will still have a high probability of pushing the 442 battle formation during the top 12 matches. However, the coaching staff will make appropriate adjustments in the tactical arrangements according to the actual progress of the actual combat.
As usual, the training schedule of the national football team will also be in line with the game time. This means that in the next few days, regardless of whether the team can train in the air-conditioned stadium, their training will be scheduled in the evening, which is also the best in the West Asian climate. Ideal choice.

When Wu Lei’s first training is still to be determined
On August 27, local time, the day after the Chinese men’s football delegation arrived in Doha, Qatar, all members of the team ushered in the first working day of the Western Expedition. The team plans to leave the hotel at 7:30 in the evening local time and head to the training site for the first outdoor training class after arriving in Doha. Forward Wu Lei arrived at the team’s hotel at around 2 a.m. local time on the 27th. Whether he can participate in training depends on the time when the nucleic acid test results are obtained.
The Chinese men’s football delegation arrived in Doha on the morning of August 26, local time, and then all the delegation moved to the Marriott Hotel in downtown Doha. According to local epidemic prevention regulations, all employees must undergo nucleic acid testing as soon as they enter the hotel, and then everyone must undergo medical isolation and observation for no less than 12 hours in their own independent room. After all procedures are implemented and the nucleic acid result is negative After that, you can go out of the room and move around.
The forward Wu Lei, who plays for the Spanish club in La Liga, arrived in Doha at 11:17 pm local time on the 26th, and he arrived at the Marriott Hotel at about 2 am local time on the 27th. He received nucleic acid testing even later.
On the morning of the 27th local time, all members of the Chinese men’s football delegation received the day’s schedule information. Starting from having breakfast at 9:30 in the morning (the meal will be delivered to the room by a special person), and having dinner together at the resident for the first time at 11 in the evening, the whole day schedule is full.
According to the plan, the Chinese team will depart from the hotel at 7:30 pm local time on the 27th, that is, at midnight Beijing time on the 28th, to go to the venue for the first outdoor training after arriving in Doha.
It is worth noting that since the first round of the National Football Tournament against Australia and the second round of the home game against Japan in the top 12 matches are scheduled in the evening local time, it is reasonable for the Chinese team to schedule the training time in the evening.
Unlike the two games scheduled to be held at the Khalifa International Stadium equipped with the most advanced air-conditioning equipment, the Chinese team’s training in Doha will be conducted under “non-air-conditioned” conditions. It is reported that the training venue is one of the venues for hosting the East Asian region competition of the AFC Champions League last year. Therefore, the Guangzhou and Guoan internationals should be familiar with the venue conditions here. And because the training ground is also the venue for local clubs on weekdays, the quality of its turf is very superior, which is very conducive to the various technical and tactical training of the national football team.
It is reported that the first group activity of the team that day is not meals or training, but the first team meeting after arriving at the competition venue at around 1 pm. Although the specific content is not known, it is not difficult to guess that the coaching staff and management team will give necessary reminders to the internationals on this expedition and put forward relevant disciplinary requirements.
