According to Beijing Youth Daily reporter Xiao Blush, China's national soccer team has scheduled to depart for Abu Dhabi on December 18 to warm up for the Asian Cup. This trip they will choose affordable civil aviation flights, and strive to travel simple. As for the rivalry during the preparation, there is still uncertainty.
The national football team's journey to the west is the same as the previous 36-team tournament away trip in Bangkok, Thailand, and the whole journey is on civilian flights. In the new cycle, the national football team went out for training and games, always adhering to the concept of "simple life, thrifty travel, according to the need to protect".
According to the original plan, the national football team will start four warm-up matches in the UAE, where they will meet Oman on December 29th, followed by India on January 6th next year. The national soccer team was able to get in touch with these two teams quickly, mainly due to Jankovic's deep relationship with the head coaches of both teams.
However, it is yet to be verified whether the match against India will go ahead as scheduled. This is because the national football team has tweaked its preparation plan for the Asian Cup after the South Korea match.
It is reported that the national football team originally planned to go to the United Arab Emirates on December 10 after a week of training in Shanghai. However, some players need to participate in the AFC Cup final and the AFC Champions League, the team assembly date was forced to postpone to December 17th. The coaching team has therefore adjusted the details of the overseas training and warm-up matches. This also means that the warm-up program of the national football team in the United Arab Emirates still has variables.
In addition, the national football team's training in Abu Dhabi will take place at a fixed training base. In order to prepare for the match, the team will try to invite their opponents to the training base to participate in the training, or to compete in the outer venues.
