However, the desire to don the national team colors and face the
national soccer team
The all-encompassing fitness and medical challenges should have been viewed in a positive light - after all, it is a reflection of the naturalized players' determination to compete and, more importantly, their ability to play! However, the reality was very different: the naturalized players showed a clear resistance to the medical examination. In accordance with the national team's requirements, they were supposed to arrive in the UAE on time to meet with the
national soccer team
The team assembled to undergo a test conducted by assistant coach Pep and fitness coach Wilk. If they pass the test, the naturalized players will join the team's daily training and get ready for the next two matches of the 12-team tournament. The coaching team will also rationalize the appearance of these players according to the tactical needs.
However, the naturalized players are less willing to participate given their resistance to medical examinations. Against this backdrop, will the naturalized players still be able to arrive in Dubai as originally planned with the
national soccer team
Convergence? That, I'm afraid, is up in the air.
In contrast, the situation of naturalized player Jiang Guangtai has not caused much concern. Just as he did before the matches in Japan and Vietnam in late January, after returning to the UK on vacation after the matches, Jiang Guangtai has already traveled to Dubai to start training in preparation for the two matches in late March, and is currently in good shape. Therefore, after the national team arrives in the UAE, Jiang Guangtai will quickly integrate into the team and participate in training. Moreover, Jiang Guangtai himself has made it clear to the coaching team that he is willing to accept the tests arranged by the team at any time.
③Coaching staff Haikou advance layout
Given the possibility of naturalized players missing the last two rounds of the 12-team tournament, the national team's coaching staff has made a series of plans in advance. If you can return to the team on time and pass the test, the coaching team will naturally be eager, which is undoubtedly good news for the last two games. If you can not return to the team in time, the coaching staff in Haikou training period has been fully prepared, especially for the naturalized players in the field position, to identify suitable local players for targeted intensive training, to ensure that these players are ready to standby.
In fact, any team that activates naturalized players will face similar problems as the Chinese men's football team is currently facing. For example, the Malaysian team in the Qatar World Cup qualifiers, due to the team's poor performance, the contradiction between local players and naturalized players has been exposed. The Qatar national team, Indonesia national team, etc., have also experienced similar problems. Therefore, although it is the first time for the Chinese team to use naturalized players, it is not unusual for the Chinese team to just repeat the mistakes of other or other countries (regions) teams in the Asian context. It's just that, influenced by traditional Chinese culture, our players don't express themselves as directly as foreign players. Coupled with the domestic public opinion, the network environment is not friendly to the national football team, the performance of the national football team has not been satisfactory, especially the recent network of naturalized players "deification", so that many uninformed outsiders misjudged the situation.
At present, it seems that the Chinese national team is preparing for the war in an organized manner, and given the need to renew the national team, the selected young players have excellent mentality and fighting spirit. The coaching staff will also introduce these youngsters at the right time according to the current situation, creating opportunities and conditions for them to showcase themselves. Of course, whether or not they can seize the opportunity will depend on the performance of the young players in the team.
