On July 19th, the East Asian Cup will kick off, while the first phase of the Chinese Super League will come to an end on July 12th. Some international players where the club in the 10th round of Super League matches on the 11th that ended, which led to the upcoming departure to Japan's national football "mixed" team will be officially assembled on the 12th. Originally, China is expected to host the East Asian Cup, but affected by the epidemic, the Chinese Football Association had to regret to give up the right to organize. This year is the year of the World Cup, Japan and South Korea two teams are planning to East Asia Cup to select the national team's newcomers and edge players to determine the final list of the World Cup in Qatar. The competitive level and intensity of this year's East Asian Cup should not be underestimated.
After the intensive training and prolonged isolation of the Top 12, the international players are physically and mentally exhausted. If they go to Japan to participate in the East Asian Cup, they also need to face up to 20 days of isolation, such resistance is understandable. However, for the "mixed" national football team, the team formed in a short period of time, the players will inevitably have resistance, coupled with the strong opponents (Japan, South Korea), the first two matches of the East Asian Cup is likely to end in a loss. Against this background, how much motivation can the players mobilize when facing our Hong Kong team? In the case of hard target must beat the opponent, "mixed" national football team will present what kind of state? All of this is full of uncertainty.
