On the 10th, the Chinese men's soccer team continued to prepare for the Qatar Asian Cup in Doha. Chinese men's soccer player Zhang Linpeng said that most of the players in the Asian Cup are young players, and the key to the first game against Tajikistan is to do well.
On the same day, the national soccer team conducted warm-up, passing and receiving drills at the Qatar University training ground. Zhang Yuning, Wei Shihao and other key players were present. Head coach Jankovic kept reminding the players to speed up and the players were in a very relaxed state of mind.
A total of 26 players from the national soccer team came to Doha, with many veterans over 30 years old, as well as Zhu Chenjie and other young players. Zhang Linpeng said, "I think there are only two or three seniors, most of them are young players, and many of them are facing this kind of tournament for the first time, giving them more time and space to play at their level."
Zhang Linpeng first played in the Asian Cup in Qatar, and now he's back where his dreams began. "Although I have aged, nothing else has changed." In this Asian Cup, I think the most important thing is to stay focused, facing every training and every match, we should concentrate enough to make continuous progress."
Talking about the upcoming first match, he said, "We have been preparing intensely and well during this time. I think everyone is ready for the match in three days. I think I should do well in the first match against Tajikistan. In fact, I have rarely played against this opponent before, only occasionally meeting in warm-up matches, so the most important thing is to start with myself and focus on playing well."
