The latest news from Beijing Youth Daily is that on the night of June 3, China's U17 national soccer team arrived in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, to make ultimate preparations for the upcoming U17 Asian Cup, which will open on June 17th. However, the team encountered two difficult challenges in the preparation process.
The first problem is the extreme climate. Recently, daytime temperatures in Bangkok have repeatedly exceeded 35 degrees Celsius, and humidity has also remained high, forcing the coaching staff led by Yang Chen to adjust their training strategy, such as adjusting the "twice a day training" to "once a day" to reduce the intensity of training.
Secondly, the lack of warm-up matches faced by the team in its preparation is also a cause for concern. In the past month, the team has not participated in any official warm-up matches. During the preparation period in Bangkok, the team's ability to find suitable warm-up opponents is not only dependent on the slot of the opponents, but also constrained by the declaration process.
It is reported that the U17 national soccer team is scheduled to leave Bangkok on June 13 for Chonburi, where the group stage matches will be played, and will play their first match against Tajikistan on June 17th.
