Beijing time on the evening of March 19, the latest news from the soccer newspaper said that the national soccer players have arrived at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport and will fly to New Zealand to participate in two international soccer warm-up matches. All the international players appeared at Baiyun Airport wearing red national soccer training jackets and looked in pretty good spirits.
It is worth noting that although it is already late at night, but there are still a lot of loyal fans to the airport to send off the national football team, in many international players, "a brother" Wu Lei is undoubtedly the most popular. Fans gathered around him to take pictures and ask for autographs.
According to the sailing information, the 19th night 11:45 pm take off the Chinese team line flight, followed by a long flight 11 hours later, is expected to arrive in Auckland on March 20 at about 3:45 pm.
Compared to the luxurious chartered plane treatment during the previous Top 12 away games, the national soccer team is undoubtedly much more low-key when it comes to warming up abroad. The team is equipped with an ordinary civilian airliner, and most of its members will be placed in the economy class.
The total number of players for this trip to New Zealand is about 45. Ackerson and Jiang Guangtai, two naturalized players, will not travel with the team as they are not yet back to their best fitness and have a high body fat percentage, which is not up to the standard of participation of the new national football coach, Jankovic, and will not travel with the team. They will definitely miss the two warm-up matches against New Zealand. According to the arrangement, the national football team will play two warm-up matches against the New Zealand men's national team on March 23rd and 26th.
