Physical trainer Ivo is directing the training
According to Ivo Katujic, who is in charge of physical fitness in the coaching team, the team's training focus at this stage has been on physical reserves combined with the intensity of the game. High-intensity folding and sprinting runs are a must in every training session. The total running distance of each player in each training session is more than 6,000 meters, and the sprinting distance in each training session is not less than the sprinting distance in the official game. Regarding the effect of the training, Ivo said, "With such a large amount of training, every player performed very well, and I give them full marks."
After the high-intensity running training, the coaching team will also be interspersed with a lot of technical and tactical training, the training rhythm is compact, comprehensive simulation of the actual battle. According to the coaching team's plan, the next two weeks of training will remain relatively high intensity to help players do a good job of physical reserves.
Ivo also revealed that he has established an effective communication channel with the fitness coach of the Chinese men's national team to facilitate the mastery of the

It is crucial for the team to play well in the league this season.
Bilic and his team of assistant coaches are always in a race against time, helping injured players recover aggressively while grasping the team to get several new and late returning players into the system.
Bilic said the team has played one game and one step further in the first four rounds of the league, especially in the match against Wuhan, and has played the smooth and precise teamwork he expected to see. He, like his players, did not lose confidence despite suffering two consecutive defeats in the situation, but used a two-game winning streak to regain the team's rightful position.

Now, Bilic needs to face the difficulties of injuries to the main players and the inability of the foreigners to play at full strength. In this regard, Bilic admitted that there exists the possibility for the club to look for new foreign aiders now, but considering the impact of the epidemic, including the problem of bonding time with the team, there is a certain difficulty in bringing in new aiders. Therefore, he expects Bieira and other core players to recover soon, so that the team's lineup can maintain relatively strong competitiveness at the beginning of the second stage of the league.
Bilic will also have to contend with the uncertainty of the form and fitness of six internationals after their World Qualifiers outings, all of which will need to be targeted before the league resumes.
Bilic remains optimistic about these possible problems. He admits that with the experience of the first four rounds and the experience of the
