As the Asian Cup is approaching, the preparation of the national football team has also entered the final stage. However, in addition to the whole training, the team did not relax in the slightest about ideological construction.
On January 7, on the night of their arrival in Doha, the national football team first participated in a class on referee rules at the resident hotel, and the lecturer of the course was a Singaporean referee lecturer selected by the AFC.
During the warm-up match with the Hong Kong team on January 1 this year, the Chinese team Wang Shangyuan, Wu Shaocong and assistant coach Pelovic were respectively sent off the field by the Emirati referee on duty. Among them, the main reason for Wang Shangyuan and Pelovic to receive the red is to "offend" the referee on duty. On January 5, local time, during the match with the Gulf Heroes, a club in the second division of the United Arab Emirates, the Chinese team was awarded a penalty in the first and second halves, resulting in the loss of points.
In the two games, there were inaccurate judgments on the foul scale and the referee's penalty scale, which is obviously a big hidden danger for the international players. Therefore, the coaching staff also specially arranged the first session after arriving in Doha to learn the theory of referee rules, and also hoped to reduce unnecessary mistakes as much as possible in the next Asian Cup matches.
On the evening of the 9th, CCTV's anti-corruption blockbuster "Continue to Make Efforts to Promote in Depth" will be related to the football corruption case, Du Zhaocai, former deputy director of the State General Administration of Sports, Chen Xuyuan, former chairman of the Chinese Football Association, and Li Tie, the former head coach of the national football team, will confess in front of the camera.
It is reported that the national football team plans to organize Chinese coaches and team staff to collectively receive warning education. If the broadcast time of the program conflicts with the team's training or other preparation schedules, the Chinese coaches and team staff will collectively replay the program. On the one hand, the collective anti-corruption documentary is to carry out warning education;On the other hand, the Chinese Football Association and the national team also hope that at the current stage of the industry, all international players can effectively realize their responsibilities and burdens, and contribute to the stability and development of Chinese football through their own efforts.
