Reporter Chen Yong reported that the national soccer team started training in Abu Dhabi, UAE on December 19, but unfavorable news came soon. Li Ke left the team due to family reasons and the national soccer team urgently recruited Xu Xin, who is currently playing for the port. Xu Xin left Shanghai yesterday afternoon and arrived in Abu Dhabi this morning to join the national soccer team.
The national soccer team flew from Shanghai to Dubai, UAE on the evening of the 18th local time, and then the team took a bus to the resident hotel in Abu Dhabi. It was already early morning on the 19th when they arrived. In the morning of that day, the national soccer team began its first training session and conducted strength training at the residence. In the afternoon, the national soccer team came to the site for its first outdoor training.
According to the plan, the national football team will carry out recovery training and physical fitness and technical and tactical training in six days. Starting from the 25th, the national football team will enter the tournament training combined stage, of which the 25th is the first to play with the local clubs in the teaching match; on the 29th, Oman is also a team of the Asian Cup, which is divided into F group. This game is the most important game in the preparation of the national football team. After that, the national football team will play two more warm-up matches, and the team will fly from the UAE to Doha, Qatar on January 7, 2024, waiting for the first match of the Asian Cup on the 13th.
Unfortunately, despite his arrival in Abu Dhabi, Li Ke left the team on the 20th for family reasons, in which case the national football team urgently recruited another back-rower, Xu Xin.
In the initial roster of the national team, the national soccer team had five back players, namely Li Ke, Wang Shangyuan, Wu Xi, Wang Qiuming and Gao Tianyi. In the 36-team tournament, Jankovic mainly used Li Ke, Wang Shangyuan and Wu Xi, of which Wang can be defined as a purely defensive back, while Li Ke is actually a defensive player, and Wu Xi took more responsibility in organizing the attack.
Due to the tightness of the back position, the previously injured Wang Qiuming also returned to the national team. Theoretically, the configuration of the back waist is relatively sufficient. For the national football team, they hope that these back players will play well in the Asian Cup and better adapt to the rhythm and intensity of international matches, so as to prepare for next year's 36-strong tournament.
Li Ke's departure from the team has disrupted the rhythm of the national team. However, Xu Xin is also a resident player of the national team. He participated in the national soccer team training in March, June and September. He is very familiar with Jankovic's tactics and has no understanding with his teammates. Moreover, Xu Xin has wide adaptability in the back position, playing single back and double back. He can not only defend, but also partially attack and organize.
Although the "waist" flashed again, but the overall strength of the national football team has not been affected too much. However, Yankovic really need to consider the combination of the back position. As for another position of the national football problem center, on the one hand, I hope Zhang Yuning to restore the state; on the other hand, I am afraid that we need to do some targeted technical and tactical arrangements, to avoid the shortcomings.
