In the late afternoon, on the training ground in Haikou, the Chinese men's national soccer team started a tense instructional match with Chinese Super League powerhouse Changchun Yatai. Liu Yang opened the scoring in the 10th minute with an accidental oolong. Then in the 40th minute, Liao Lisheng quickly added a shot to equalize the score, and the two sides ended up with a 1-1 draw.
The next 12 and 15, the national football team will also continue in the current training to start the 2nd and 3rd teaching match. The opponent for the second match has yet to be determined, but Changchun Yatai seems to remain a popular choice, while the opponent for the final match will be the U23 national football team.
In this match against Changchun Yatai, national team head coach Li Xiaopeng boldly tried the 343 formation, with Liu Dianzuo guarding the goal, Liu Yang, Yu Dabao and Zhu Chenjie forming a trio of center backs, Gao Zhunyi and Tong Lei serving as wingbacks, Liao Lixiang and Jin Jingdao serving as backs, and Zhang Xizhe, Zhang Yuning and Dai Weijun constituting the forward line. Shortly after the game started, Liu Yang allowed the visitors to score with a mistake.
The three warm-up matches of the national football team in Haikou were aimed at testing the tactics and formations, as well as the athletic and physical condition of the international players, and accelerating the transition between the old and the new in the national team. Therefore, Li Xiaopeng made a big rotation of the lineup in the second half. From left to right, the three center backs are Zheng Zheng, Zhu Chenjie, and Zhang Linpeng; the wingbacks are Wang Shenchao and Ji Xiang; the young players Gao Tianyi and Yan Dinghao become the backs; and the front line is Duan Liuyu, Wei Shihao, and Liu Binbin. Barton replaced Duan Liuyu in the 70th minute.
It is worth mentioning that eight international players, including the two captains Artemisia Artemisia Junmin and Wu Xi, goalkeeper Yan Junling, back Xu Xin, etc., were absent from the teaching match for some reasons, and Tan Long of Changchun Yatai did not show up. On the one hand, the coaching team took into account that these international players returned to the team later, the body needs time to recover, on the other hand, it also attaches importance to the cultivation of young players, giving them a lot of opportunities to play.
In this game, Yan Dinghao, Dai Weijun, Gao Tianyi, Tong Lei and other young players were eye-catching, and Li Xiaopeng was very satisfied with their real-world performance and youthful vigor.
