Be brave after knowing shame! The national football team is determined to fight hard and not be an opponent to advance to the "background board" against Saudi Arabia.

On the evening of March 2 1 local time, the China team conducted the fourth outdoor training after arriving in Sharjah. The training was changed to Khalid Benmohamed Stadium at Sharjah Club Base. As the training time is only three days away from the match between China and Saudi Arabia in the ninth round of the 12 championship, Li, the head coach of China team, recently tried to find the most suitable 1 1 player combination in the 24th championship by strengthening the drills of technical and tactical contents. Judging from the situation reflected by the team, "hardness, rhythm and set-pieces" have become three key words emphasized by the team when preparing for the Western Expedition. China, who has no hope of qualifying, doesn't want to be the "background board" for his opponent's promotion.

From the evening of 0/8 local time/kloc-,the China team began to practice their skills and tactics. On the evening of 20th local time, the China team took advantage of the "home team advantage" and went to the No.24 China-Saudi Arabia competition venue, Sharjah Sports Ground for more than 90 minutes. It is understood that in the training in recent days, in addition to the large and small group confrontation training for the purpose of running the array, the drill of positioning ball has become the top priority of the national football team.

For the national football team, the reality of early exit can completely unload the psychological burden of the whole team in the last two rounds of 12. But objectively speaking, compared with Saudi Arabia, the leader of Group B in 12, China still has obvious technical capability gap. It is difficult for China to gain an advantage over this opponent through ground penetration. Therefore, it is logical for the coaching staff to make a fuss about the set-piece tactics. In fact, during the training in Haikou, the drill of set-piece tactics occupied a large proportion of the training content. The coaching staff will also distinguish the training contents such as positioning balls and corner kicks in the frontcourt and backcourt, and let players with relatively good footwork such as Hao Junmin, Zhang Xizhe and Dai Weijun serve as operators.

In addition to "set-pieces", the other two key words of the national football expedition are "hardness and rhythm". For "hardness", the outside world can actually understand it through the employment standards emphasized by coach Li during sea training. His words "who can spell, who can play" are the specific requirements of the coaching staff for international players in the current training and competition, which are completely consistent with the connotation of the word "excellent style" in the team's new slogan 16. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the fact that in the teaching match between the team and the U23 national football team on June 5438+05, the international players competed for the "little brother", and Tan Long, Dai, Zhu and other countries left because of injuries.

As for "rhythm", the coaching staff actually emphasizes that players should be brave and resourceful in actual combat. It is necessary to keep the rhythm of the team from beginning to end, or the rhythm that the team can master, and try to avoid falling into the opponent's offensive and defensive rhythm, leading to passive beatings.

By the evening of March 2 1 local time, the main candidate for Li's personal position was still under consideration. It should be noted that after Li Lei, the left-back who played for the Swiss Cao Meng Club, missed the team due to injury, the coaching staff decided not to recruit other U23 national football players who were also preparing for the Dubai Cup in the United Arab Emirates. In other words, the players who will play in China 12 will be produced from the 24 players who have arrived at the team at present.

Wu, the first captain of the team, missed the match between China and Saudi Arabia because of the accumulated yellow cards, so the coaching staff not only needs to find a suitable midfielder to replace Wu technically, but also needs to confirm the first choice of the captain in this game 1 field. During Li Tie's coaching, Hao Junmin, Yu Dabao and Zhang were appointed as three candidate captains of the team. Then, in the absence of Wu, it is possible for the captain to choose from the above three people.
