Recently, the National Olympic team gathered again, and the coaching staff of Cheng Yaodong decided to train at the Xianghe base. In order to help the players adapt to the form, the National Olympic team played a warm-up match with a local amateur team in Langfang. In order to give more players the opportunity to play, Cheng Yaodong and the opponent agreed to play the game in the form of 3 sections. The 2nd period played a key role, and in the end, the National Olympic team won easily with a 2-goal advantage. Coach Cheng Yaodong had an update on the performance of the young players. However, the buildup was not long as some players still needed to prepare for the Chinese Super League match, so it ended quickly on August 16th.
There were 30 players on the training list, but only 24 completed their registration and 6 were absent due to different circumstances. Among them, four were unable to participate in the training due to injury or ill health, and two were in special circumstances. According to informed media reports, Liu Haofan and Nai Bijiang were absent from recruitment because the club did not release them. Liu Haofan is a key young player in Zhejiang's training and a center back for the U20 National Youth League. However, Bijiang has already made his debut with Guodian, and both were absent from the flight training in Xianghe.
Although it was revealed that the club was adamant about not releasing anyone, it was clear from the results that there were still discussions about recruiting players, depending on the specific needs of the club. After all, it's flight training, not regular training, otherwise the club would have actively cooperated. Outside the club there was also discussion about the options for the top two in the CSL. Some fans see more value in players staying with the club. Of course, from the point of view of the National Olympic coaching staff, there are more training lineups than just training players. Both sides can coordinate such things well.
Of course, the above two players are among the indispensable players for the National Olympics. Therefore, the coaching staff of Sung Yeo Tung may recruit them. According to the plan, the National Olympiad will gather again on August 19, when the sprint preparation for the Olympic Preliminaries will take place, and all the clubs will cooperate fully at that time.
It is no surprise to see Bie Jiang and Liu Haofan in the National Olympic training squad. Clubs need to weigh the pros and cons of such sudden call-ups, and as long as the request is reasonable, I'm sure it will be agreed upon.
