The 9th round match between China and Saudi Arabia in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Asia 12 World Cup preliminaries Group B will be held in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates at 7 pm local time on March 24th. Both sides of the competition should go to the competition venue for adaptation training 1 day before the competition. However, due to the rules, the visiting team gave priority to training from 6: 30 pm to 7: 30 pm local time on the 23rd.
Therefore, after considering one side comprehensively, the China team decided to give up the plan of going to the competition venue for training. Therefore, the China team adjusted the time to attend the pre-match press conference. It is understood that Zhang, the backbone of the defense, attended the press conference together with head coach Li, which also indicates that Zhang will probably wear the armband of the national football captain in the match between China and Saudi Arabia when Wu is suspended.

According to the official regulations of the AFC, the pre-match training between the two sides must be open to the media 15 minutes. It is reported that several Saudi journalists have arrived in the United Arab Emirates to cover the game, so China has also extended the start time of the last practice before the game from 6: 30 pm local time to 7: 00 pm, which is exactly the same as the kick-off time of China and Saudi Arabia. Saudi journalists can go to China's training site immediately.
