Soccer team prepares for Bangkok tournament
The latest news from the Daily News is that player Xie Weijun, whose nasal bone injury is in stable condition, has revealed to the coaching team of the national soccer team that he has no need to worry about the injury at all, showing a strong determination to compete.
China's soccer team is about to leave for Bangkok to meet the challenge of the 2026 World Cup qualifying round of 36 in Asia. Analyzing the information from all sides, the Chinese team has kept a rare low profile before the match, trying to return safely on the road, however, the challenge should not be underestimated.
The injury situation for the national soccer team is complex and fluid, with both reassuring progress in recovery and concerns. Zhang Yuning's recovery is progressing in line with expectations and is expected to feature in the upcoming China-Thailand clash. Xie Weijun's nasal bone injury is stable, and the player, known for his strict self-imposed requirements, has firmly indicated to the coaching staff that there is no need to worry too much about his injury and that his will to fight is high. Other injured players are gradually recovering under the care of the medical team. However, Lin Liangming, despite being able to participate in training, was not allowed to take part in confrontational training out of prudence, which undoubtedly weakened the team's left-sided attacking power.
Currently, the national soccer team's preparations are not all smooth sailing, and the Thai team has always been a big problem for them. Thailand's head coach Poljin regards the November 16th match as "the most decisive battle in Thai soccer in a decade", which will undoubtedly add more suspense to the showdown between the two teams. In the face of such pressure, how to deal with it will be one of the key factors to test the coaching ability of Jankovic.
