[January 26, Beijing] - Inside sources have revealed that head coach Li Xiaopeng hosted a mobilization meeting on the eve of the Chinese national soccer team's crucial preparation for the match against Japan. At the meeting, he used three phrases in a row, "can afford", to motivate the players to do their best in the upcoming game, highlighting the high expectations of the team.
Immediately after arriving in Japan, the national football team held an important mobilization meeting. New head coach Li Xiaopeng inspired the players at the meeting, emphasizing the need to strive to achieve satisfactory results, not only to stand up to the General Administration of Sport and the Football Association's trust and commitment to the team, but also to every player who has fought for the cause of soccer for many years, as well as the gratitude for the support of their families.
Recently, the national football team has had a lot of internal turmoil. First, Sun Xiang was suspected of using his position to poach Taishan international Xu Xin, and then naturalized player Luo Guofu made a public statement blasting the FA's organizational arrangements, which, despite an apology, is feared to have had a negative impact on the team's atmosphere. Subsequently, Fernando returned to Brazil to take care of his family, leaving only Alan and Jiang Guangtai to play for Japan.
Li Xiaopeng's speech at the mobilization meeting is obviously also to stabilize the military mind. In the face of the upcoming game, Li Xiaopeng is afraid of the pressure borne by the previous head coach is difficult to compare. The showdown with Japan is important, but more important is the first day of the New Year and Vietnam's battle, this game can not lose, at least to let the fans in the New Year period to feel the spirit of struggle of the national football team.
Compared to the national soccer team, the current situation of the Japanese team is not much better, with a number of key players injured and unable to be selected for the national team, a significant change in the situation compared to the first round of the meeting. Tomorrow night's game, the Japanese team due to injury problems at least in four positions will be adjusted, which may be a perfect opportunity for the national football team.
Captain Wu Lei said in an interview, "We have to carry forward the spirit of fighting and not be passive like in the first round. We have the ability to do our part and everyone has to do their best to help their teammates and make the team screw together." (DD)
