The Belgian technical director of the Association, Kreis, had an in-depth discussion on the business. At the same time, assistant coaches Li Jinyu, Wang Liang, Shao Jiayi, etc., on every aspect of the training have devoted great attention. A local assistant coach told Beijing Youth Daily reporter on the eve of the training: "Numerous specific matters need to be brainstormed and discussed by the team.

coaching team, the main challenge of the first training session may focus on the selection of players. As of the team's first outdoor practice on the afternoon of the 12th, only 26 players were present. And the internal teaching match will kick off in four days. Given that the coaching staff plans to focus on building the main lineup for the Japan away game in the second internal teaching game on the 20th, the warm-up game on the 16th became a key part of the evaluation of the "starters and substitutes", which has a very high reference value.

It is expected that the five naturalized players who have gone to Brazil and the United Arab Emirates for vacation will directly join the team for the Japanese away game at the end of this month, but according to the views expressed by Li Xiaopeng in an interview with the media before the training session on the afternoon of the 12th, he is still not able to give a clear answer as to whether the five will be in place or not, and what their status will be after they are in place.

In the 13 Chinese coaches, about half of them will not go with the team. As for the specific list of travelers, it is still to be determined according to the preparation situation and the actual division of work of the coaches.
