After a day's rest, the Chinese men's soccer team returned to the training ground for the Final 40 in Suzhou on May 25th in the morning sun. Before preparing for a new day of training, the team captured a family photo of the second half of this training session, the second half of the 40-team tournament. The smiles of confidence on the faces of the coaches and players showed their firm belief in advancing to the Final 12.
On May 25th, the national football team's preparation schedule continued to unfold in Suzhou. Unlike the previous afternoon training time, the training was moved up to 10:30 a.m., an adjustment that was mainly due to the recent hot weather in the Suzhou area. In contrast, the climate in the morning is more pleasant and more suitable for outdoor training.
Before the official start of the training, the team took the usual family photo. Considering the fact that striker Wu Lei, who plays for a Spanish club, will only return to the team on the 19th of this month, the photo shoot was not chosen to take place in Shanghai. The main players of the 40-team tournament were all involved, and this is the most complete family photo appearance of the national soccer team since Li Tie took charge of the team for 1.5 years. Despite the rising outdoor temperatures, the players were still smiling during the photo shoot, and they are looking forward to celebrating their advancement at the end of the 40-team tournament with smiles on their faces.
