Since returning from West Asia, the national soccer team has been focusing on preparations for the Hangzhou Asian Games in closed training in Haikou. According to the rules of the competition, each team can report a maximum of three overage players (born before January 1, 1999) to participate in the competition, so the
The coaching staff handpicked Zhang Linpeng, Wu Xi and Zhang Yuning, three of the top players in the
players who play key positions in the national soccer team respectively. Previously, the overage players had been training with the national team on a regular basis until the 20th when they officially joined the
National Football League.
At about 9:50 a.m. that day
The national football team arrived at the training ground. Head coach Jankovic first called all the players to the center of the field, on behalf of the team to express a warm welcome to the three "overage players", and gave them a high evaluation of their arrival.
He said, "First of all, we warmly welcome the three national players to our team. But it seems inappropriate to say that they are new players because they are experienced and old players while we are the young ones. For now, we can only welcome them to our training team. My welcome speech has been very brief, but we would like to thank them for joining our dynamic, courageous and hard-working team. They exemplify a great team and are role models for all young players. In a way, these three players also represent the image of Chinese soccer. Thanks to them for being able to join our team." Jankovic then turned to the three players and added: "Thank you also for being here to share your soccer experience and life wisdom. That's all I can say at the start and I'm sure we can have a great time together. Once again, welcome aboard!"
After the short welcome ceremony, the team immediately went into an intense training session. Although the training lasted only 70 minutes, it was rich in content and high in intensity. After a simple physical preparation, the team first practiced passing and receiving the ball, and then was divided into three groups to practice offense and defense tactics. After a period of 30 meters of fast sprinting, the team finally had a team practice.
Three overage players were placed on the same team during split-squad matchups. Due to sufficient personnel, there were frequent personnel substitutions in the confrontation practice. It is worth noting that after the end of the Top 12 tournament, the intensity of the Chinese team's recent training has not been very high, much lower than the
National Football League. Therefore, the three "overage players" need some time to adapt to the newcomers
