The National Football Team gathers to prepare for the World Preliminaries Zhang Linpeng said he will go all out to get ready

Xinhua News Agency China’s national men’s football team launched a new training session in Shanghai on the 18th to prepare for the top 12 of the 2022 World Cup Asian qualifiers in Qatar. Before the start of the training session, team member Zhang Linpeng said that everyone will go all out to prepare and fight each game step by step.

Zhang Linpeng said: “This top 12 match is a new start for me, no matter how good or bad I play, I must try my best.”

With only two weeks left before the first game against the Australian team on September 2, the importance of this training camp can be imagined. Over the past month, the Super League schedule was relatively dense, and the players were in a state of extreme fatigue. But fortunately, most of the players were not injured in the league, which makes the national football preparations will not be greatly affected.

Training and competition abroad for a long time will become a problem that the national football team will encounter in the next three months. “Compared with the last game, due to the impact of the epidemic, this game has undergone many changes. The previous game format was home and away, but this time we may lose our home court and our opponent will not be at our home court.” Therefore, Zhang Linpeng said, “This is a new challenge. We need to be psychologically prepared. This may be more important than the tactical level.”

Judging from the composition of the training personnel, the main lineup of the top 12 matches should still be based on the top 40 not long ago. As long as there are no injuries, the starting 11 will not change much. In addition, Wu Lei, who has been studying abroad, will fly directly to the competition site to meet with the team on the 26th.

According to the plan, the National Football Association will set off from Shanghai on August 26 to start the journey to the top 12 matches.
