Before the national football team embarked on the journey, an internal meeting was quietly held. The top management of the Association issued a "preparation order" to all players, emphasizing the need to be fully prepared for the next overseas training, stressing that: "If you feel overwhelmed, you may wish to say so in advance." From the end of August departure, to the completion of the fifth "home" showdown in mid-November, this overseas journey up to three months.
Thanks to this "early warning", even if the outside world every few days there will be news about the home of the emergence of the national football team, but the performance of the players is exceptionally calm. "Returning home for a few days of rest and recuperation is a great relief for both the body and the mind." said one player. One player said. It is reported that the team has long been confirmed to travel to the United Arab Emirates in West Asia to prepare for the next two matches.
After losing to Saudi Arabia, Coach Li Tie once again mentioned the team's lack of quality warm-up matches. Under the efforts of the national soccer team, the team finally reached a warm-up agreement with Shenzhen, which was recently eliminated by Shenhua, and Zhejiang, a strong team in the Central League.
It is reported that, according to the established plan, the two teams will be on November 3, the same day with the national football team to start the competition. At that time, the national football team will send two sets of lineups to fight, this warm-up game will also become the coaching team to examine the players a great opportunity.
Considering that the team's trip to West Asia will consist of only two matches and a tight schedule, the national soccer team does not need to carry too many players. Accordingly, about five players will stay in the country and return to their respective clubs after the match.
Looking back at the past four matches, it is amazing that there are nine people in the 31-player list of the national soccer team who have not appeared in the match. They are Barton, Li Lei, Dong Chunyu, Liu Tenzai, Wang Dalei, Xu Xin, Guo Tianyu, Wang Qiuming and Wang Shangyuan.
