After being quarantined in Haikou in accordance with outbreak prevention regulations, players will be disbanded on the spot and returned to their respective clubs. In this training camp, two players from the Zhejiang team, Gao Tianyu and Zheng Xuejian, both performed well and for the team their return will greatly alleviate the staff shortage caused by the recent large-scale injuries.

This retreat in Croatia is mainly to prepare for the 6th U23 Asian Cup in 2024 and the Asian qualifiers of the men’s football team for the Paris Olympics. During the 84 days of training, the team played a total of 26 matches, basically at the rate of 1 match every 3-4 days. The object of the competition is mainly the teams of the Croatian second division league, during which three matches are also organized against the teams of the first division league. The team’s total score is 9 wins, 3 draws and 14 losses, scoring 29 goals and conceding 42 goals. The coaching staff did not establish a fixed main force or substitute for the players.Under the principle of equal treatment, as many players as possible could play and there were no restrictions on substitutions in multiple games.

Under such circumstances, Gao Tianyu and Zheng Xuejian had more chances to play with their outstanding performance. According to statistics, Gao Tianyu, Ruan Qilong and Liu Wenhao are the three players with the most starter appearances, both 14 times. They are followed by Liu Junxian on the striker and Zhu Yue, right back, both have played 13 times. Zheng Xuejian and 5 other players started 12 times.

In terms of total appearances, no player has played all 26 games. The two players with the most appearances were Chen Rong and Zhu Qiwen, both with 24 games. Gao Tianyu played 22 games, Zheng Xuejian 20 games, and the cumulative playing time exceeded 1,000 minutes.The two also scored goals respectively.

For the performance of the two, the coach of the National Youth U21 Cheng Yaodong also expressed his approval. In particular Gao Tianyu, as the player who has played the most time in midfield this season, his role on his wing is evident. Both as a full-back and as a full-back, he knows how to implement the manager’s tactical intentions well, and his attack and defense are balanced and complete, also thanks to the ample opportunities to play in the club.

Although Zheng Xuejian has not yet had a chance to play in the Chinese Super League this season due to injuries and his position, his performance during this retirement was also quite good, especially in the overall vision and control ability of the midfielder. , and has come out many times on the bench Playing on the pitch helps the team to stabilize the situation on the pitch, which reflects the maturity of the captain of the branded national team of this age group. I believe that once he is back in the team, he will also have the opportunity to show his skills in the Chinese Super League.

When it comes to this retreat, the bigger feeling of the two is that they have benefited a lot from it. Especially in the case of quick transitions in attack and defense and strong fights, such as completing your technical actions and then playing your tactics. “There may also be physical contact in the home arena, but the intensity is completely different and the level of rational use of the body in the fight also needs to be improved. Through this training, we felt a completely different situation, whether teaming here. è Teams in Super, A or Tier 3 or Tier 4 have similar styles and use all of their bodies. You also need to use different physical contact strategies and techniques for different game situations. Even if you give results, we still lose by more and we win less, but at least the team members dare to use their bodies to fight with their opponents. Not only do they fight more, they dare to fight, but their skills are also improved. You can only practice and learn this type of fighting in the fighting process. Skills. ” Gao Tianyu said.
