What is Iceland's refusal to warm up with the national football team?

After the Belgian team was unable to play in China for some reason, Iceland, another European powerhouse, which has always been a dark horse in the European Cup and the Russian World Cup preliminaries, recently confirmed that it could not play in China, so the China Football Association had to turn its invitation to the Serbian team.

According to coach Lippi's team and China Football Association, although China missed the World Cup final, the quality of preparation including warm-up cannot be degraded. Although the national football team's two warm-up matches in June 5438+ 10 were cancelled for some reason, the team's opponents in the warm-up match in June 5438+065438+ 10 have been identified as the top teams in the world. Prior to this, the China Football Association had contacted Belgian and Colombian teams. Among them, the plan of Colombia's warm-up match with the national football team in Chongqing in June 165438+ 10/4 is almost a foregone conclusion. However, in the case that the Belgian team could not come to China for its own reasons, Fortebox contacted Iceland, which had just entered the World Cup finals, and participated in the preliminaries as the team leader for the first time. Recently, however, the Icelandic Football Association informed the China Football Association that its national team could not come to China. One of the reasons is that the team is unwilling to go to Asia to participate in a warm-up match.

In this case, Fortbao turned the invitation to Serbia. In the just-concluded European World Cup preliminaries in Russia, Serbia beat France and advanced as the first in the group. Not long ago, Guangzhou Football Association sent an application letter to China Football Association, saying that the association planned to hold a national football warm-up match at Tianhe Stadium in Guangzhou on 1 10, and the opponent of the warm-up match was "a European national team". It can be seen that although the opponents of the warm-up match have not been finalized, and the finalization of the warm-up match plan also depends on the attitude of the invitees, the Football Association has always been looking for training targets for the national football team in accordance with the principle of "finding a strong team".

A few small countries look down on us, so China football must become stronger.
