According to the plan, the Chinese men’s football selection team will take the Hainan Airlines flight that took off at 04:45 P.M. local time on July 28 to return home from Nagoya, Japan. It is expected to fly to Haikou city at about 9 pm Beijing time on the 28th. It is understood that after arriving in Haikou city, the whole team will receive “7+3” days of isolation observation in the local area. From the 29th, the team will start training. And this arrangement is also beneficial for the national players to adjust their physical condition and put them into the next stage of competition in the Chinese Super League.

On the afternoon of 27th local time, the Chinese men’s football selection team won Hong Kong China team with a 1-0 victory, thus winning the third place in the 2022 East Asian Cup with a 1-1 draw and 1 negative record. The team is scheduled to return to China on the 2nd day of the game, that is, on the 28th.

It is understood that after arriving in Haikou city on 28th Beijing time, the team will be stationed in a local hotel collectively, and then accept “7+3” days of isolation observation according to epidemic prevention regulations. It is understood that during the isolation period, the National Football selection team will still train normally. The first training for recovering will be arranged on the 29th, that is, the second day after the team returns home.

On the day when the national football selection team participated in the East Asia Cup ending war, the 2001 U21 national men’s football team, the new National Olympic men’s football team, launched a new training in Shanghai. Then the team will also go to Croatia to practice and warm up. Liu Hurun, Huang Zihao, Tao Qianglong and Liang Shaowen, who were following the East expedition of the National Football selection team, will participate in the preparation of U21 national football team after receiving the necessary isolation observation, and went to Europe to train with the team. It is worth noting that the U21 national youth team plans to go to Croatia on August 5th. Therefore, the above four players are affected by the isolation period and the visa procedures for some players, and they are likely to postpone their visit to Europe for several days.

Since the Hangzhou Asian Games is confirmed to be held next year, the National Football selection team will continue to prepare for the Asian Games football match in the whole team mode. Although so far, how to build and transform the national men’s football team and who will lead the team remains to be officially confirmed, Jankovic will continue to lead the Asian Games team as coach anyway. Therefore, the Chinese Football Association will also communicate with the coaching staff in the near future to confirm the specific preparation plan of the team.
