Earlier this month, China's men's national soccer team had a preparatory training for the last group match of the Top 40 in Shanghai. After the training, the national players returned to their respective clubs to prepare for the new Chinese Super League season. The coaching team expects the international players to adjust their form in the following five rounds of matches and make good physical reserves for the national team assembly in late May.
It is reported that in order to have a more comprehensive understanding of the performance of the international players, the national team coaching team will be stationed in Guangzhou and Gusu respectively. Li Tie and Zheng Bin and other stationed in Guangzhou, while Xin Feng and other assistant coaches will go to Gusu. Li Tie will also be arranged according to the schedule, to the Gusu match to watch the game.
Unlike last year, this year's national team coaching staff to investigate the league's focus is to participate in the previous national team training players, focusing on their athletic status and play, so that the national team assembly can be "called to use".
While focusing on player performance, the coaching staff also collects technical statistics and data to get a full picture of the state of the international players.
Supplementing the list of international players to cope with surprises
The coaching staff of the national team has added to the list of international players according to the rules related to the World Qualifiers, and the number is now close to 60.
After Li Tie took over the national team, he had made one adjustment to the big list. Due to the regulations of the World Qualification Tournament, all the final players must appear on the big list, Li Tie fixed the standing army personnel at around 40. To deal with injuries and other unforeseen circumstances, the national team coaching staff added more players at once.
Due to the World Preliminary Round adopting the assembly tournament system, it no longer requires the adjustment of the list one month in advance as before. Therefore, in order to cope with various possible situations, the national team coaching staff added more players at once in order to be called up at any time.
It is understood that the number of newly added enrolled players is around 20. These players include Chang Feiya and Wu Xinghan, who were not included in the list before, as well as some players who have not yet participated in the national team training arranged by Li Tie.
Currently, almost all the players with character or talent in the domestic Super League teams have been included in the 60-or-so man roster. In the future, the final sprint for the national team's 40-team tournament will be selected from this 60-or-so-man grand list.
According to my incomplete statistics, Li Tie since January 2020 in Guangzhou to arrange the first training so far, has arranged six training, the cumulative time for 112 days. Participate in these six training players cumulative 50 people, 11 of them appear in each phase of the training list, is expected to become the core of the national team to play in the 40 strong match and the main force.
Now the national team has basically completed the preparatory work, the next is in the first five rounds of the first phase of the new season of the Chinese Super League, whether the international players can adjust their respective state to the best. At that time, Li Tie will select 27-28 players to participate in the training in late May, for the final preparation for the 40-team tournament.
