The Chinese Football Association (CFA) officially released the schedule of matches for the 2023 season of the Chinese Professional League (CPL) and the Football Association Cup (FA Cup) last night. According to a report by Madsen, the national soccer team will not be conducting a long training camp this year.
Although the national team is facing a new round of World Cup qualifiers this year and the final stage of the Asian Cup, but from the Chinese Football Association announced yesterday's game, unlike the previous situation is the national team is not engaged in the "long-term training", team training is only the use of FIFA's designated national team competition window. According to the schedule of the preparatory group of the CFA, only two days in advance of the national team competition window before the league, only to the national team competition window for two more days of training time.
For example, taking the window period designated by FIFA for national team matches in June as an example, the window period stipulated by FIFA is from June 12 to 20, and the preparatory team of the Chinese Football Federation (CFF) arranges for the 12th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) to be held on June 8 and 9.The preparatory team of the CFF can organize training for the national team from June 10 onwards. From June 10, the national team can organize training.The window period for national team matches designated by FIFA in September is from September 4 to 12, but after the 24th round of the Chinese Super League on August 27, the preparatory group of the Chinese Football Federation only arranged the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on August 30 and 31, and the national team training started from September 2.The national team will be able to organize training from June 8 to 20, which is the first time for the Chinese Super League to be held in China.
At the end of the trip to New Zealand in March this year, the national soccer coach Yang Kovic made it clear that he does not advocate long-term training, but hopes that international players can participate in more leagues, through which they can maintain their form. In addition, perhaps because the national team did not ask for more training time, so even in September of this year in Hangzhou, the Asian Games, the entire Chinese Super League has not "backed down" signs.
