In the negotiation with the relevant agencies, the AFC has clearly stated that the 12-team tournament will use the home and away system, however, in the global epidemic is not yet determined, the Chinese Football Association is quietly preparing for the tournament system tournament, the 12-team tournament layout in advance to cope with.
The UAE and Saudi Arabia are actively bidding for the tournament system of the 12 strong, know the advantage of playing at home, especially the UAE, with the advantage of home, from the bottom of the group against the odds to qualify, which is precisely the important reason why they support the tournament system.
In contrast, our country, Japan, South Korea, during the epidemic prevention and control strict, if the 12 strong match using the tournament system, the AFC is likely to arrange the game in West Asia, which is insufficient strength and need to guard against the opponent's "secret moves" of our team, is not good news.
Although the uncertainty of the Final 12 still exists, but our team has opened the "preparation mode", Li Tie coach said: "No matter who the opponent is, no matter where the game, the key is to go all out."
For the possible grouping and tournament system, a member of the national football team said frankly in an interview: "Before going to the United Arab Emirates, the outside world think that we do not have a home advantage, and there are high temperatures and all kinds of difficulties, thinking that we will not be able to get out of the line. But according to Li's words, we do our own preparation, how to play the game how to play, and finally achieved the goal. Now about the 12 rounds, we always think that we can't beat this side, the other side must be hopeless, the prospect is bleak, but the game has not yet begun, think about these meaningless? For us, the most important thing now is to train well, play well in the league, and when the time comes, go all out to prepare for the Top 12, play every game well, and nothing else matters."
