Recently, the National Olympic Team reunited, and the coaching team of Cheng Yaodong decisively chose Xianghe Base as the training place. In order for the players to quickly integrate into the state, the national Olympic team started a friendly match with a local amateur team in Langfang. Considering the opportunity to give more players a chance to appear on the field, Cheng Yaodong decided to use a three-period game format by consensus with the opponents. The second quarter became a key turning point, and the National Olympic team sealed the victory with a two-goal advantage. Coach Cheng Yaodong took this opportunity to have a new understanding of the young players' performance in the field. However, the rally was relatively compact, and was quickly concluded on August 16th as some players had to prepare for the Chinese Super League.
There were 30 players on the training roster, but only 24 completed their registration, while six others were unable to attend for their own reasons. Of these, four were due to injury or ill health, while two were due to special circumstances. According to internal sources, Liu Haofan and Nai Bijiang failed to participate in the selection because the club did not release them. Liu Haofan is a key young talent of the Zhejiang team and is also a center back of the U20 national youth team. Nai Bijiang, who has already made his debut for Guoan, was not in the training squad at the Xianghe base.
Despite the club's firm attitude, in practical terms the discussion on player selection continues. After all, this is a special period of selection training, if not, the club will since full support. Meanwhile, there is considerable interest in the top two CSL sides. Some fans believe it is more beneficial for the players to stay with the team. Of course, from the perspective of the National Olympic coaching staff, the selection of players is only one aspect, they also need to consider the overall training squad. Both sides can work well together on this issue.
Undoubtedly, these two players are crucial for the National Olympics. The coaching team of Cheng Yao Dong is likely to consider them in the subsequent selection. According to the plan, the National Olympiad will gather again on August 19, when it will make an all-out sprint to the Olympic preliminaries, when the clubs will cooperate fully.
In the National Olympic training team, it is expected to welcome Bie Jiang and Liu Haofan to the team. Faced with this sudden call-up, the club will need to weigh the pros and cons, and as long as the request is reasonable, I believe it will be agreed.
