According to the plan, the Chinese men's soccer team will be assembled in Shanghai on August 18th, to prepare for the Qatar World Preliminary Asian Zone 12 tournament, which will start in early September. Unexpectedly, just this weekend, Guangzhou City Football Club came to the bad news, the team captain, the main right back of the 40 strong Tang Miao suffered serious injuries. It is reported that Tang Miao will undergo surgery on August 10th and will not recover until the end of the year at the earliest, which means that he will definitely miss the first six rounds of the 12-team tournament. Tang Miao has also become the first to suffer serious injuries before the 12 rounds of the 40 rounds of the main players, which is undoubtedly a huge loss for the national football team.
However, according to sources, the national soccer coaching staff has recently drawn up a huge list of alternative international players for the team's Top 12 matches, far more than the 60 or so who were available during the Top 40. The head coach will select about 30 of them to participate in the upcoming Shanghai training and the first two rounds of the Top 12 tournament. In the right back position, Wang Gang, who is back from injury, and others are available for Li Tie to choose from.
On the evening of August 7, Guangzhou City Football Club announced through official channels that captain Tang Miao has torn the lateral meniscus of his right knee and will undergo surgery next week. Tang Miao's surgery will take place on Tuesday (10th) and is expected to recover by the end of the year at the earliest, according to Beiqing-Beijing Headline 8. The schedule shows that the first six rounds of the 12-team tournament will be completed this year, so Tang Miao will definitely not be able to participate in these six rounds.
The relevant person in charge of Guangzhou City Football Club told Beiqing-Beijing headline reporter that the club feels very sorry for Tang Miao's serious injury. "He has duties in the national team, and so hard at the club. Really feel sorry for him ......", the person said.
Like Guangzhou City Football Club, both the CFA and the national team's coaching staff feel regret and sadness that the hard-working veteran has suffered a serious injury at this time. It is reported that the CFA will next treat Tang Miao as well as Guangzhou City Football Club in accordance with the regulations.
As of August 8, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) has not been able to confirm whether it will be able to play home matches in the hometown. However, the team's pre-match preparations, especially the training preparations, have been put in place on schedule as the national football team is playing Australia away in the first round of the 12-team tournament. Unsurprisingly, the whole team will gather in Shanghai from the 18th onwards, and then implement the travel itinerary in detail according to the home venue confirmed by the first opponent, Australia.
Affected by the epidemic, the Chinese team is faced with the possibility of participating in home and away matches outside the country one after another, and it is likely that preparations and matches will be carried out under tightly closed-loop conditions to prevent the epidemic. In this case, the CFA in addition to help the national football team through the front station to properly organize the epidemic, travel, reception, training venue organization and other matters, but also need to carefully select a sufficient number of able to fight the national football team, in order to cope with the intensive schedule and a long period of closed training work environment.
It is reported that before the national football team to participate in the 40 strong match, the coaching team had first circled more than 60 people's alternative list of international players. Through the 40 strong match and after the first stage of the Chinese Super League, part of the candidate international players (such as Tang Miao) appeared injured or poor competitive state, part of the candidate international players (such as Wang Gang, Zhu Chenjie) to recover, and excellent condition, so Li Tie in the selection of the 12 strong match out of the international players list, it will inevitably make some adjustments. In addition, some of the players previously outside the list have also performed well in the recent Chinese Super League, so they have also been able to add to the list lineup. Because the AFC on the 12 strong team players initial registration and no detailed number of limitations, so the Chinese team coaching staff can meet the conditions of the recruitment of all the names of the players compiled into this list.
As for who will take Tang Miao's place during the Top 12 after his absence. At present, Li Tie's selection is still relatively rich. For example, due to injury missed the second half of the 40 strong match, the national player Wang Gang, in the period of Lippi's coaching, was the national football team to play in the first half of the 40 strong match of the main right back, he recently on behalf of the club to participate in the Chinese Super League competition during the eye-catching performance. In the now available alternative side backs, Wang Shenchao, Gao Junyi double left and right, the two in the harbor, Evergrande main left back position to play in the wind. Recently, Li Lei, Jiang Zhipeng and other different periods of national football main left back in their respective clubs are also more outstanding performance, in this case, Wang Shenchao, Gao Junyi can be completely liberated to the right side of the road. In addition, one of the main center backs of the 40 strong national football team Linpeng has also served as the right back of the national football team and the Guangzhou team, if Li Ang and comeback Zhu Chenjie can be timely top, then Zhang Linpeng was moved to the side of the road, it is not impossible to try.
On August 8, the 13th round of the Chinese Super League will start in Guangzhou. Li Tie and his assistants are highly concerned about the last 2 to 3 rounds of the first phase of the league (there is still 1 round left in Suzhou), in order to cope with unforeseen situations like Tang Miao's serious injury. According to the routine of the last two years' training sessions, Li Tie tends to draft about 27 people to participate in each training session. And in view of the major 12 strong match and the reality of the epidemic at the moment, he did not rule out the possibility of a moderate expansion of the training lineup. And specific personnel planning is likely to be around 30 people.
