At around 8pm local time on the 27th, the Chinese team conducted their first training after arriving in Doha. The striker Wu Lei, who arrived in Doha less than 20 hours ago, participated in the training with the team shortly after the nucleic acid test report was obtained, interpreting the word “pattern”. For the upcoming top 12 matches, especially the first round match against the Australian team, Wu Lei showed the confidence of a overseas player. He said: “We have the ability to compete with them (Australia).”
Wu Lei flew to Doha at more than 11 pm local time on the 26th. When he arrived at the local hotel of the National Football Team, it was already more than 2 am local time on the 27th, and he was immediately subjected to a nucleic acid test at the hotel. Although this kind of itinerary is particularly hard, for a player who plays for a European club, Wu Lei has long been accustomed to it. Outside the national football training ground, when asked if he was tired, Wu Lei replied: “I think it’s good to rest. Every time I return to the national team, I feel very good, happy and excited, and look forward to it, because everyone is Very good teammate.”
Wu Lei recalled that he was moved by the scene when he arrived at the hotel of the National Football Association, because until early in the morning local time, the chairman of the Chinese Football Association Chen Xuyuan was still waiting for him in the hotel. Wu Lei said: “Yes, I didn’t expect (Chairman Chen Xuyuan to pick me up), because after all, the time was very late, it was more than 2 in the morning, and he also arrived early in the morning, and there was a jet lag, so I I am really touched and thank you very much.”
Before he rushed from Spain to Qatar, Wu Lei participated in two rounds of La Liga, and he almost got about 60 minutes of playing time in each game. Is his competitive state ideal? In response, Wu Lei replied: “I think the state is quite good, because after the last national team match, I took a rest for about two weeks before returning to Spain. It was also a very critical time for the club team. Therefore, all aspects of physical fitness have been well done.”
The competition difficulty and significance of the 12-finals is far greater than that of the 40-finals, but Wu Lei, who has already participated in the last 12-finals, can maintain a calm mind at this moment because he has experienced it. Regarding the upcoming battle, he said: “I think the key lies in our own, because the outside world may say something like this, but I think in the top 12 stage, the first two games regardless of whether the start is smooth or It’s not going well, the most important thing is that each of us adjusts our mentality.”
Wu Lei also has his own views on the Australian team’s first opponent in the top 12 of the Chinese team. He said: “I have just arrived in the team, and I may watch their game videos one by one these days. Now, compared to 2015 (Asian Cup), their players may have gone through some transitions between the old and the new, and some of the old players also Retired. So the coaching staff instilled more confidence in us and guided us to compete with them with confidence. Therefore, for this opponent, our players are still very confident.”
Regarding giving up representing the club team in the third round of Spanish VS Majorca in La Liga and meeting with the national team in advance, Wu Lei explained: “For this arrangement, the national team and the club also communicated with each other. Because it is indeed the first 2 The game is very important. We all hope that the team can make a good start, so we also discussed with our club to come to the team two days in advance to prepare, so as to gain more time to prepare for the first game against the Australian team. For me In general, the national team is very important.”
Japan’s Kumamoto Hideo, who also plays in La Liga, has not been able to represent the club recently, but in the tactical system of Japan’s coach Morihoichi, he is an important pawn. As the Chinese and Japanese teams will meet in the second round of the top 12 on September 7, Wu Lei also specifically mentioned this opponent. “Jiu Jianying is a very young player with great potential,” he said.
