On March 3, the Chinese men's football team will start a new training camp in Haikou, Hainan, which aims to prepare for the two World Preliminary Round of 12 matches on March 24 and 29. According to the plan, the national football team will train in Haikou for two weeks and is expected to travel to Sharjah, UNITED Arab Emirates, on March 17. At the same time, the U23 national football team is also training in Haikou, when the two teams may play warm-up matches and travel to the UAE to participate in the competition together. The Taishan team has 10 players selected for two national teams, and they can't return to the team until April, and the Taishan team's training plan has also been adjusted.
The national football team lost to Japan and Vietnam during the Spring Festival, losing hope of qualifying early, and Li Xiaopeng lost both games after taking office, which also put him under more pressure. According to the schedule, the national football team will have two World Preliminary Round of 12 matches in March, namely against Saudi Arabia on the 24th and against Oman on the 29th. Due to the epidemic, the national football team can only give up the home stadium again, and determine the 24th against Saudi Arabia in Sharjah, the United Arab Emirates, this game Li Xiaopeng wants to lead the team to get points and stop the momentum of the losing streak. It should be pointed out that the Saudi team can ensure that they can qualify for the World Cup as long as they win, and they will certainly do their best.
In order to play well in the next two World Preliminary Round of 12 matches, Li Xiaopeng recruited 39 players to train in Haikou, and the whole team trained intensively on March 3, and is expected to leave for Sharjah, United Arab Emirates on March 17. Judging from the composition of the personnel, Li Xiaopeng did not significantly adjust the lineup, but only supplemented some young players. Under normal circumstances, Li Xiaopeng will lead about 25 players to West Asia, which means that more than 10 internationals only participate in Haikou training, can not go to West Asia for competition, and the competition is also fierce. In addition, the U23 national football team led by Jankovic is also training in Haikou, and they will fly to West Asia with the national football team to participate in the Dubai Cup competition from March 23 to 29. The schedule shows that the U23 national football team played against the United Arab Emirates on the 23rd, Vietnam on the 26th, and then the qualifying match on the 29th.
Under normal circumstances, the national football team will warm up with the U23 national football team during the training in Haikou, and Li Xiaopeng can also communicate with Yankovic, after all, the renewal of the national football team is also a trend, and some U23 national football players are expected to enter the national football team in the future and participate in the preparation for the 2023 Asian Cup. Taishan has a total of 10 players into the two national brands, they will first participate in haikou training, whether they can go to the United Arab Emirates with the team, but also depends on Li Xiaopeng's choice.
The Taishan team originally planned to go to Guangzhou for training, but due to the impact of the epidemic, the Taishan team cancelled the plan of guangzhou training and will remain in Jinan for training in the near future. Today, the Tarzan team has encountered two problems in training. The first is that the lineup is not in order, 10 national players have been recruited, foreign aid has not yet returned to the team, the team's training lineup is very uneven, and the whole team may not be able to put together a full lineup until mid-April. The second is the warm-up match arrangement, now most of the teams in Shanghai and Haikou training, Taishan team to contact the warm-up game, there is indeed a certain degree of difficulty. According to the actual situation, the Taishan team will also adjust the training plan in time, and strive to better adjust the status of the whole team before the start of the season, and play better in the league in the new season.
