Three warm-up games to sift through the Western Conference lineups
A total of 39 players have been called up for the current national team, of which 5 naturalized players and Li Lei, who plays for Grasshopper Switzerland, will go directly to the United Arab Emirates to join the team. Jiang Shenglong and Wu Shaocong have joined the U23 national team, while Deng Hanwen is on leave due to a family matter. The remaining 30 players are in place. From the 9th, the national team will start three warm-up matches, the first match against Changchun Yatai, followed by two more matches on the 12th and 15th, of which the 15th will be against the U23 national team, and the opponent on the 12th is yet to be determined. Given that the Shenzhen team has been on vacation, the national football team on the 12th may play again with Changchun Yatai.
Through these three warm-up matches, the national football team will determine the lineup and tactical arrangements for the western expedition. Changchun Yatai head coach Chen Yang, who has served as an assistant coach of the national football team and knows the situation of the national football team well, will assist the national football team, simulate the tactics of the opponents and provide targeted warm-up.

Controversy over reuse of naturalized players
Although the naturalized players are expected to return to the team, whether they can be recognized by the national football team depends on the competitive state. If the performance is not good, do not rule out the possibility of being abandoned. Although the naturalized players are capable of outstanding, but not participated in the game for a long time, the competitive state is doubtful. Excessive reuse may frustrate the desire of local players to fight.
After the group match against Vietnam, some local players exuded disappointment that it would be better to use local players in better form. Anxiety brought about by the prolonged isolation training may have further exacerbated this sentiment.
National football team emphasizes "form-based approach"
The internal meeting of the national football team emphasized the "only state theory" to individual athletic performance and on-field fighting style as the only standard of personnel selection, aimed at eliminating the doubts of the local players, unifying the mind, and maximize the fighting force.
An insider said that the national team has the interests of the team at heart, and that physical fitness and fighting spirit to meet the standard is the key. If individual naturalized players can not meet the physical standards, the national football team may cancel the call-up. Even if you return to the team, the competitive state is also a prerequisite for the appearance.
