With the report by Wang Zi, a reporter from the Tonight News, the preparation of the Chinese soccer team has once again become the focus of attention. After Ivankovic's confirmation of his stay, the Chinese team's logistical support team acted swiftly and has sent personnel to Australia for a first look to ensure that the team will receive the best support and security during the away games.
The latest update on the AFC's official website shows that the third round of the Asian Zone 18 match between China and Australia will kick off at 17:10 Beijing time on October 10, 10 minutes later than originally planned. The venue for the match has been confirmed as the Adelaide Oval, which is not unfamiliar to Chinese fans, as the first warm-up match of the Chinese women's soccer team's visit to Australia in May this year was played here.
Although the Chinese team needs to go through a flight of more than 10 hours to arrive in Adelaide, there is only a 1.5-hour time difference between China and the local area, which undoubtedly saves the team a lot of adjustment time. Upon arrival, the team can focus more on physical recovery and regulation of the game's biological clock, so as to be fully prepared for the upcoming tough battle.

Therefore, there was no room for error in every aspect of the logistics.
It is reported that the probability of the Chinese team can only assemble the full team on October 3, excluding the consumption of the road trip, the whole team has less than a week to prepare for this game. Time is short and the task is arduous, but the team has shown strong confidence and determination. They believe that under the leadership of Ivankovic, through the joint efforts and hard work of the whole team, they will be able to achieve good results in this game.
In addition, the weather forecast indicates that the Chinese team may encounter lower minimum temperatures than Qingdao during their stay in Australia.
