China's men's national soccer team is scheduled to fly to Tokyo on Sept. 2 for the first round of the 18-team tournament on Sept. 5 on the road against a strong Japanese team, according to the Beijing Youth Daily. In preparation for the tournament, the
national soccer team
It will regroup in Dalian on August 23rd to start an intense preparatory training.
According to the arrangement, the Chinese team will depart from Dalian in the early morning of September 2 and travel to Tokyo, Japan. While in Japan, the team will stay at a hotel located in downtown Tokyo. Unlike in the past, the national football team will not train at the secondary field of the competition venue - Saitama World Cup Stadium - after arriving in Japan, but has chosen a training ground in downtown Tokyo that is closer to the hotel and has better closed conditions to prepare for the match. Although the hotel is far away from the competition venue, the national football team plans to conduct only up to three training sessions during their stay in Japan, so this arrangement will have a limited impact on the team's preparation.
In order to adapt to the game time and schedule, the national football team's training in Japan will be arranged mainly in the evening to maintain consistency with the rhythm of the game. At the same time, the national football team chose to take an early flight to Japan, but also to ensure that it can be in the evening on the day of arrival to carry out normal training.
In addition, China's head coach
Ivan (name)
The team went to Qingdao on August 14th, the venue for the home match against Indonesia in October, and made a site visit including the training and competition venues, resident hotels, transportation conditions and other aspects. Ivan was very satisfied with the local conditions and even stayed at the hotel for one night to ensure that everything meets the team's preparation needs.
