National soccer team dynamics
Reporter Chen Yong reported that on December 19, the national football team kicked off training in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, but received the news that Li Ke left the team due to family matters. Emergency recruit Xu Xin, currently playing for Port, has departed from Shanghai and arrived in Abu Dhabi today to quickly integrate into the team.
On the evening of the 18th, the national football team took off from Shanghai, arrived in Dubai and transferred to public transportation to the Abu Dhabi hotel, arriving in the early hours of the morning. Early the next morning, the team began its first training session, including strength training. In the afternoon, outdoor training became the focus of the new day.
The national football team plans to conduct recovery training, fitness and technical and tactical training in the next six days. From the 25th, it will enter the training phase of the tournament, including teaching matches with local clubs.On the 29th, Oman, as the opponent of Group F of the Asian Cup, will be the key battle of the national football team's preparation. After two subsequent warm-up matches, the team will fly to Doha, Qatar, on January 7 to prepare for the opening match of the Asian Cup on the 13th.
Unfortunately, Li Ke arrived in Abu Dhabi, but on the 20th still left due to family matters, the national football team once again emergency call-up Xu Xin. In the initial list, the national soccer team has five back players, Li Ke, Wang Shangyuan, Wu Xi, Wang Qiuming and Gao Tianyi. Jankovic mainly used Li Ke, Wang Shangyuan and Wu Xi in the 36-team tournament, with each of the three playing their own roles.
Wang Qiuming returned to the national team due to injury, and theoretically the back position is well equipped. The national football team expects the players to perform well in the Asian Cup and get ready for the 36-team tournament next year. Xu Xin, as a resident player, is familiar with Jankovic's tactics, has a tacit understanding with his teammates and is adaptable enough to play as a single or double back.
Despite the changes in the back position, the overall strength of the national soccer team has not been greatly affected. Yankovic needs to consider the combination of the back, and at the same time for the center position of technical and tactical adjustments, to avoid the shortcomings of the strengths.
