In the heat of the national football team's gathering in Haikou, the team has long dispatched specialists to actively contact overseas players to ensure that information flows smoothly. Li Lei has been notified to apply for a visa to Oman, while maintaining close online communication with the five naturalized players. However, the question of whether these five players can join the West Asian team as scheduled remains unanswered.
Beiqing Daily reporter learned from the national football team inside, in view of the naturalized players Alan and Luo Guofu in the last two rounds of the 12 rounds of poor performance, the coaching team in order to prepare for the war and team harmony, decided to naturalized players in the near future to carry out a comprehensive assessment. To this end, the CFA has especially hired foreign physical fitness coaches to conduct physical fitness tests in the countries where the naturalized players are located. Only if the indicators meet the requirements of the coaching team of the national football team, they will have the opportunity to be drafted. Relevant sources of the national football team emphasized: "Players who participate in the World Qualification Tournament must go all out. Both physical and mental security is a prerequisite for call-ups."
In fact, during the three teaching matches in Haikou, manager Li Xiaopeng not only tested the players' skills, but also examined their competitive state and willpower in order to select players suitable for the last two rounds of the 12-team tournament. Strict selection and rational use of players is the key to ensure team harmony. Team insiders said: "There should be no blind worship of any player, and the interests of the team are the primary consideration. 'Big name' players who are not up to the mark technically and mentally should not be used either."
According to the arrangement, the national football team will have a warm-up with Yatai on the 9th, followed by more warm-ups on the 12th and 15th respectively. Previously, the team had planned to play two warm-ups with the U23 national football team, but taking into account that both teams will go to West Asia to participate in different tournaments, as well as the U23 national football team has not participated in international matches for more than two years, in order to avoid injuries to players due to the intensity of warm-ups, the national football team finally decided to play only one warm-up with the U23 national football team on the 15th. As for the warm-up opponent on the 12th, it is very likely to be Changchun Yatai.
