In the late afternoon of June 20, the Gusu Taihu Lake base ushered in the second assembly of the Chinese men's football team after returning home. In sharp contrast to the previous day's lightweight "wake-up" training, this time the whole team put in many rounds of high-intensity confrontation drills. Obviously, the Chinese team did not indulge in the joy of victory after celebrating their advancement to the Top 40, head coach Li Tie quickly returned to the harsh style of the "Iron Marshal", the team has long been saving for a rainy day, for the impact of the Top 12 tournament early into the state of preparation.
After the rain in Gusu, the air is so humid and stuffy that it is almost suffocating, and the sunlight is so harsh that it is difficult to open one's eyes. However, it is in such a bad climate, just returned to the country's national football team has begun the preparatory journey for the 12th round of the tournament.
After a day of rest and recuperation, the team held its first training session after returning home in Gusau on the afternoon of the 19th. Given that the players had gone through a fierce competition in the Top 40 and a long journey, the coaching team's training on that day was limited to a simple physical awakening.
However, after only one day, when the players returned to the training ground, they found that the head coach Li Tie has been restored to the serious temperament of the Iron Marshal. 20 afternoon training, high-intensity group confrontation has become the focus of training. Although the 12 strong match will not officially start until September, but Li Tie did not strictly distinguish between "main" and "non-main" in the team, but according to the actual process of confrontation practice flexible adjustment of both sides of the personnel.
It is reported that, in addition to seriously injured players and slightly unwell Wei Shihao and Jin Jingdao, the rest of the 26 international players participated in the training on the 20th. Despite the sweltering heat, the international players were encouraged by the results of the 12 strong, generally maintain a high enthusiasm for practice. During the training process, intense confrontation scenes were staged from time to time, which is enough to prove the high intensity of confrontation practice.
It was revealed that in the 18th night of the team to celebrate the banquet, the two main leaders of the Football Association also encouraged the team to continue to work hard, and strive to reach the Qatar World Cup final round, and all members of the national football team, including Li Tie coaching team, gave a high evaluation. This means that Li Tie continue to lead the team to fight in the 12 strong match has become an established fact.
As the Chinese team back to the country in accordance with the provisions of the epidemic for not less than 14 days of collective closed isolation and not less than 7 days of independent observation, so in the first phase of the Super League the remaining nine rounds of matches are expected to kick off in the context of the next month, leaving the national football team in the 12 before the start of the preparatory time is actually very limited. Li Tie naturally want to take advantage of this team closed isolation, grasp the opportunity to improve team construction, strengthen the content of preparation. Therefore, the team returned to the country after the second training took the form of high-intensity organization.
