Soccer Preview
A fierce battle is about to begin at the Saitama Arena in Tokyo. Tomorrow night at 6:00 pm Beijing time, our team will challenge Japan away from home, which is their second showdown in the Top 12. Before the match, head coach Li Xiaopeng and captain Wu Xi will attend a conference at 4:30pm on the 26th.
For the first game of his coaching career, Li Xiaopeng is full of confidence: "Tomorrow night we will face the top-ranked team in Asia, the players do not need too much mobilization, just go all out. From the tactical level, we will focus on playing their own level, showing the unique charm of national football."
Talking about the state of naturalized players and returnees, Li Xiaopeng said: "Naturalized players and returnees are in good condition, good physical and athletic condition, all can play tomorrow."
Faced with Japanese media reporters questioning Li Xiaopeng's style, Li Xiaopeng responded: "The key to soccer lies in the strength of the players and the overall strength of the team. Tomorrow night, I will do my best to impart my understanding of soccer to the players and strive to play a wonderful game. As for the final result, we still need to look at tomorrow's clinical play."
Talking about the match strategy, Li Xiaopeng said, "For our team, there is still a ray of hope for promotion. We will formulate tactics around retaining the hope of promotion."
Responding to a question from the Japanese media about the impact of Brazilian naturalized players not playing in the final stage of the league on tomorrow's match, Li Xiaopeng asked rhetorically, "That gentleman just now only saw the bad side, not the good side. The return of naturalized players to the team across the miles also shows their love for the national football team and their desire to contribute to it."
