The national football team will fly from chartered flight to Lei Wu in West Asia on 26th, and then fly directly from Spain to Qatar.

12 In the afternoon of August, the China Football Association issued a new national men's football training notice through official channels, and * * * 3 1 players participated in the training, thus preparing for the upcoming 12 top-level competition in early September.

According to the training notice, all the international players must arrive at the team's resident hotel in Shanghai on August 18, except the relevant club players who participated in the eighth round of the Super League. It is understood that since the first round of the 12 tournament between Australia and China is scheduled to be held in Doha, the China team also plans to divide this training session into two sections. Pre-training will be conducted from August 18 to August 25, and then the whole team will arrive at the venue on August 26, and then adaptive training will be conducted less than 1 week.

If the match is confirmed in Doha, Lei Wu, who plays for Spanish La Liga club, will go directly from Spain to Qatar to join the team. The schedule shows that La Liga will kick off this weekend. Spain's first three rounds are scheduled for August 14, August 2 1 and August 27 respectively. This means that Lei Wu will go to West Asia at the latest after the Spanish-Mallorca match in the third round of La Liga. However, once the national football team needs it, it is not excluded that Lei Wu will go to Qatar after the second round of La Liga.

Another person who plans to travel from Europe to West Asia to join the national football team is Adrian Lamb, the British physical fitness coach of the team. After going to the United Arab Emirates with the national football team to participate in the top 40, Lamb returned directly to the UK for a vacation. In addition, Chris, the Belgian technical director specially appointed by China Football Association, has been staying in China since the top 40 matches, and he will also play in the top 12 matches with the team, so as to give timely technical support to the national football coaching staff in combination with some problems in team training and competition.

As of the evening of 13, the AFC and the Australian Football Association have not officially confirmed the competition plan for the first round of Australia-China 12 top-level events. This actually brought troubles and difficulties to China's preparation. According to the scheduled plan, the China team will probably leave Shanghai for West Asia on 26th. However, so far, the team has not implemented the international warm-up plan.

It is reported that the national football coaching staff originally hoped to start a new training class ahead of time, and one of the reasons for arriving at the venue ahead of time is to arrange at least two high-quality warm-ups for the team as much as possible to adjust the competitive state of the whole team. However, due to the influence of * *, even if the team arrives overseas in advance, it is impossible to arrange international warm-up matches at risk for epidemic prevention reasons.

As for warming up with other professional clubs during training in Shanghai? It is also unrealistic. The Chinese Super League didn't finish all the matches in the first stage until August 15, and the clubs and teams continued to rest and adjust after the unprecedented intensive schedule. Except for the international players, most club players will enter the holiday the day after the task at this stage. However, if China team warms up with a club team composed of substitute players or echelon players, its value is not high. From this point of view, China is unlikely to warm up with other teams, whether in Shanghai or overseas, so it can only solve the problem through "internal digestion". In other words, warm up before the game through internal grouping.

Influenced by * *, China Football Association can't assign a special person to play as the first stop of overseas alternative venues in advance, which actually brings some uncertainty to the team's future preparation. However, the National Football Team of China Football Association has been continuously implementing various preparations in the near future. Some necessary information can also be grasped in time. According to the news from the AFC, the Australian team not only proposed to Qatar Football Association to hold the first round home game of the 12 tournament in the country, but also applied to arrange the game in the afternoon local time to ensure that domestic fans can watch the live broadcast of the game in the evening local time in Australia. Once approved, it may also be a boon for China fans. After all, the time difference between China and Qatar is five hours. As for whether holding the afternoon game in hot West Asia will bring adverse effects to both sides. I'm afraid the Australian team is not worried because Qatar has the most advanced air-conditioned stadium in the world.
