The national football team arrived in Jinzhou after a 3-hour train ride, and the players were a little tired.
After lunch, the players rested in the hotel until about 5 o'clock in the evening before conducting an on-field training session.
The national football team is lazy during training, basically just moving around and warming up.
However, there were still two to three thousand fans watching in the stands.
After the national football team finished training, Kazakhstan also came over for training.
The national football team was so unfamiliar with the Kazakhstan team that they simply did not return to the hotel and sat on the sidelines watching Kazakhstan's training.
Although Kazakhstan is the lowest-level team in the European region and has not entered any major competitions so far, it has solid basic skills and serious training. It is not at all lax because this is a warm-up match.
Although the national football team has not watched Kazakhstan's training, a glimpse of the whole situation shows that the national football team understands that tomorrow's warm-up match will never be easy.
Not to mention who is better between the Kazakhstan team and the Tebago team, at least in terms of attitude, this Kazakhstan team is definitely more serious than the sloppy South American team.
In fact, for this game, William Hill initially gave an odds combination of 1.57-3.60-5.00, which was a great show of favor to the national football team. Previously, the national football team faced Trinidad and Toba, which was ranked higher than itself in the world.
Before the Colombian team's game, the European odds of winning the initial set were 1.83, but after betting, they dived to around 1.60. With the outstanding performance of the Chinese men's football team in defeating Trinidad and Tobago 4-1 in the last warm-up match,
Established a high image score for myself.
In this game, facing Kazakhstan, which is ranked lower than itself in the world, the national football team's home winning odds were initially set at 1.57, which seems to be within a reasonable range, but it also reflects the current popularity of the home team's handicap. For the Chinese men's football team
Winning the game is not good news. After taking the bet, the home winning odds increased to around 1.80, which also implies that the national football team will have a difficult battle.
After the training, we returned to the hotel and the national football team held a pre-match press conference.
This was a game in Jinzhou, Liaodong. Head coach Peilan also followed the local customs and brought vice-captain Feng Xiaoting, who is from Liaodong, to the press conference.
Head coach Perrin told reporters that this warm-up match is still a tactical drill and player inspection.
Since the Chinese Super League games are still going on and players have to return to the league, a lot of players may be rotated in this game.
Feng Xiaoting expressed his affection for the football city in his hometown at the press conference: "Although I have not been back to Liaodong for many years, the football history here deserves everyone's respect. We, the Liaodong national football team, also hope to perform wonderfully in front of our fellow villagers.
.”
Zhao Yang, who did not attend the press conference, was playing a leisurely game of landlords in the room.
Several big players from the national football team were playing cards, and a group of younger players stood nearby to watch. Zhang Ning, who made a brilliant debut, was among them.
Playing poker was once banned by the national team, but later players chatted online, went to bed later, and had their mobile phones confiscated. However, in 2016, the management of the team became more democratic, and these activities were no longer banned, but it was only stipulated that they must be 12
Rest before hitting the point and it must not affect the next day’s training.
Playing poker is not only for entertainment but also for social interaction.
Captain Zheng Zhi said to Yang Xu: "Yang Xu, I'm sure your Liaodong players will play harder in this game. You have to work harder. Xiaoyang will catch up with you if he scores another goal."
Yang Xu smiled and said: "Brother Zhi, it's useless for me to cheer. Xiaoyang can't catch up with me. He will soon be our number one shooter."
Zhao Yang said: "Brother Xu, you are not praising me, you are trying to kill me. I am still 20 goals away from first place."
Hao Jun smiled and said: "It's just about six or seven games."
Zhao Yang said: "Brother Jun, you are making fun of me too. There are so many Bhutan and Maldives to fight against."
Zhang Peng said: "Just play a few more warm-up matches."
Zheng Zhidao: "Zhang Ning, work harder. If you score one more goal this time, you will have a place in the national team."
Zhang Ning said: "Brother Zhi, I came to the national team to experience life. I have to rely on Brother Yang and Brother Xu to score goals."
Zheng Zhidao: "You, Brother Yang, sometimes have to retreat and play as an attacking midfielder. The real forwards are Yang Xu, Wu Lei and you."
Hao Jun said: "Lei Zi can't play center as a fulcrum."
Zheng Zhidao: "Xiao Ning, you know why the coach gave you the opportunity. Take advantage of it."
Zhang Ning said honestly: "I will try my best to be Brother Xu's substitute."
Yang Xu smiled and said: "I am already 28 years old and I can't play for two years. The future of the national football team belongs to you and Xiaoyang."
Zhang Ning has a high emotional intelligence and said quickly: "I am still a young rookie, so I still have to rely on Brother Yang, Brother Xu and Brother Lei to score goals."
Zheng Zhi chuckled and said: "You are young and have physical fitness. Run around more and shoot when you have a good chance. If you don't have a good chance, don't shoot wildly. Create more opportunities for Brother Yang."
Zhang Ning said: "Brother Zhi, don't worry, I still know how much I weigh."
Zheng Zhi said to several team members who were close to him and said, "You guys should run more, Xiaoyang has retreated, we can't let him return to the back line."
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "Brother Zhi, I have the physical strength, there is no problem in returning to defense."
Hao Jun knocked on the table with his cards and said: "It's not a matter of physical strength. If you return to defense, you are too far away from the goal. How can you score a goal? Even if you retreat, your first task is to score a goal. In the top 12 competition, they
Who can score the goal?"
Hao Jun was very rude in his speech, even in front of Yang Xu, he still spoke frankly.
In fact, Hao Jun is not wrong. Don’t look at Yang Xu who scored 22 goals and ranked 7th in the scorer list. Wu Lei was the best local scorer in the Chinese Super League last season. In fact, many of them were against Bhutan and the Maldives.
When I was playing, I was abusing myself, and I really didn't score a few goals against strong teams.
Zheng Zhidao: "As for whether to retreat or not, the head coach must have his own ideas. We must implement the tactical arrangements, but we cannot be rigid. He is a foreigner. If he loses, he can just pat his butt.
Once you leave, we will have to bear the blame in the end."
Zheng Zhi continued: "I have been in the national team for so many years and have never been to a World Cup. I have been scolded by the fans for so many years. This is the last time. It will be up to you from now on. Xiaoyang is our good brother.
When he plays in La Liga, few come back, so everyone must help him more."
Hao Jun said: "Brother Zhi, don't talk so far. Let's just finish this World Cup qualifying match. If we give it a try, maybe God will open his eyes."
Zhao Yang said: "What Brother Jun said is, Brother Zhi, if we win this qualifying match well, if it is really successful, our playing environment will be better. Look at how enthusiastic the fans are now."
Zheng Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaoyang, you are still young and don't understand the evil nature of people's hearts. How enthusiastic you are towards us now, how cruel you will be when you scold us after losing."
Hao Jun smiled and said: "Xiaoyang, you are the most famous now, and you will probably be scolded the most when the time comes."
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "Then let's keep winning and not give them a chance to scold us."
Zhang Ning said: "Brother Yang is right. With you here, we can't beat South Korea and Iran. Are they better than Barcelona and Atletico Madrid?"
Zheng Zhi and Hao Jun were all speechless among the old players, thinking to themselves, the young people are too arrogant. Iran and South Korea are not as good as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, but I’m afraid you still don’t know the level of these people in our national team.
