On November 10th in Shenzhen, the national soccer team's training day was full of changes. According to Sports Weekly reporter Ma Dexing, Jiang Guangtai was absent and Wu Shaochong did not return to the team due to the team's need for high-intensity confrontation training. What's worse, even the 11 on 11 regular confrontation could not start normally. Against this backdrop, the coaching team decided to send an additional person to ensure that the training could be carried out smoothly.
Ma Dexing further revealed that the addition of Xu Haofeng was inevitable. Given that Yang Kovic had coached the Asian Games in '99, Xu Haofeng, as the right back position of the choice, as early as last year's East Asian Cup had a tacit cooperation with the national team. Xu Haofeng already knows Yang Kovich's tactical layout and specific requirements very well. The addition of Xu Haofeng to the team, although temporary, but also exposed the team's current shortage of candidates for the right back position.
It's worth mentioning that Changchun Yatai's Tan Long missed the registration deadline due to the heavy rain in Changchun and flight disruptions, but he still rushed to the team on fire late at night on the 9th. Meanwhile, the team's only overseas player, Wu Shaocong, will return to the team after the league game this weekend. All members of the national team will arrive without incident before departing for Thailand.
According to the plan, the national football team held an internal meeting on the evening of the 9th, elaborating on the details of the training and the objectives of the mission. The following day, the team will hold a short event and launch the first training course in the afternoon.
