The U22 national football team will withdraw from the preliminaries of the U23 Asian Cup, and the China Football Association officially submitted an application for withdrawal to the AFC. The main reason is that from the perspective of health and safety, we need to wait for further clarification from AFC. The U22 national football team will withdraw from the preliminary round of the U23 Asian Cup.
U22 national football team will withdraw from the preliminaries of the U23 Asian Cup 1 The national football team officially announced that the 99-year-old China U22 national football team will withdraw from the 5th U23 Asian Cup preliminaries in Tajikistan later this month.
On the evening of 10, 1 1 Beijing time, the national football team officially announced that the 99-year-old China U22 national football team had withdrawn from the 5th U23 Asian Cup qualifier held in Tajikistan later this month.
According to the announcement, due to epidemic prevention and control and flight restrictions, China U-22 national men's football team could not go to Tajikistan as planned to participate in the 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup qualifiers, so it had to regret to withdraw from this competition. Next, under the leadership of head coach jankovic, the U-22 national men's soccer team will continue its rigorous training to prepare for the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou.
According to the reporter's understanding, it is indeed a helpless move for the U22 national football team to withdraw from the U23 Asian Cup qualifiers. The most fundamental reason, of course, is the epidemic, which makes many situations uncertain. In the end, the China Football Association made such a decision after many consultations with relevant parties.
Originally, the U22 national football match was scheduled to be held in Indonesia, but it was confirmed when the group drew lots in early July this year. But at that time, because the Indonesian epidemic was still serious, when the China Football Association reported to the higher authorities, the answer was that it was not recommended to participate. Because during the epidemic, all sports teams need to report to their superiors for approval before they can participate in overseas competitions. After all, during the epidemic, the safety and health of athletes, coaches and staff are the first. The management department will make a decision on whether to agree or not after comprehensive evaluation according to the actual situation.
After receiving the reply that it was not recommended to send a team to participate in the competition, the Football Association also contacted the AFC to make a clear attitude and suggested that the AFC change the venue. And it is said that Australia, which is in the same group as China, once had similar opinions. At the end of September, after weighing, AFC arranged the match of China in Tajikistan. After the re-adjustment of the venue, China Football Association resubmitted the competition plan on the one hand, and contacted Tajikistan on the other hand to learn a series of epidemic prevention measures, regulations and requirements of the other side during the competition.
It is reported that although the Tajik side has replied to the China Football Association, there are no special measures in terms of specific epidemic prevention policies. For example, this time, apart from the China Group, Tajikistan will also host the second group. Although the Brunei team, which is in the same group as the China team, has retired, the total number of participating teams is seven. However, from the perspective of epidemic prevention, the Tajik side did not arrange for seven teams to stay in different hotels, but arranged for seven teams to stay in three hotels on average. Moreover, only two training venues are provided, which are used by seven teams and arranged by time. As for the specific venue, only one venue will be used, that is, the Central Stadium in Dushanbe, where all the matches between the two teams will be held.
According to the information provided by Tajikistan, this means that there is the possibility of daily contact between teams. What is the epidemic prevention work of the whole hotel and stadium? It is impossible to know more before the team arrives. This is completely different from the situation of the national team in the 12 championship, because although the national team has been overseas, the hotels, training venues and specific competitions are completely closed during the competition. The national team is also "two points and one line" every day. Except for going out during training time, others stay in hotels. The hotel has only one team of the national team, which is relatively safe and healthy.
However, if U22 goes to Tajikistan, what will happen to the safety and health during its stay in Tajikistan? It seems that it is not entirely in the hands of China U22 national football team, and some unexpected things are likely to happen. This is even better than the Korean women's national team going to Uzbekistan, Tajikistan's neighboring country, to participate in the Asian Cup women's football qualifying group match not long ago. After returning to Korea, it was found that two players and 1 staff were diagnosed, which caused the Korean Football Association to postpone the domestic women's football league. No one can guarantee that a similar situation will not happen during China U22' s trip to Tajikistan.
Another important reason why China U22 national football team had to give up this U23 Asian Cup qualifier was the return ticket. As we all know, during the epidemic, international flights have been greatly reduced, and flights from overseas to China have strict requirements. If China U22 goes to Tajikistan, it is not difficult to leave for Dushanbe. However, it faces the problem that there is no chance to return home from Tajikistan after the game.
As far as it is concerned, there is no direct flight from China to Dushanbe, Tajikistan, and we have to transit through a third place. However, according to the current domestic epidemic prevention policy, in principle, returning to China by international flights is no longer allowed to transfer from a third place, and you need to obtain a green code for healthy return to China before you can get on the plane. Moreover, even if the U22 national football team represents China, this is a special case, and it is allowed to transit back to China from a third place. At present, there is only one flight from Central Asia to China. According to the schedule drawn up by the AFC, after the last match of the group match 165438+ on June 2nd, I'm afraid the China team can't find a flight to return home in June 165438+.
However, many clubs to which these players belong, especially the Chinese Club A, will participate in the fourth stage of the Chinese League, which is directly related to the team's upgrading and overtaking. If these players can't return home in time, the league will be reopened, which will trigger a series of reactions.
More importantly, like the youth team of Beijing Guoan Club, which went to Uzbekistan to participate in the AFC Champions League in late June this year, some players are still stranded in Uzbekistan. China Football Association and Guoan Club have been trying to get these players to return to China as soon as possible, but there is still no clear date for their return. Although I also thought about using charter flights, the procedure was not as simple as I thought, especially during the epidemic, many things were not decided by the Football Association. With such a precedent, China Football Association and relevant administrative departments are worried that similar situations may be repeated in China U22 national football team.
It is also in this dilemma that U22 national football team can only choose to retire after repeated weighing, mainly from the perspective of health and safety. Withdrawing from the 5th U23 Asian Cup qualifiers means that China U22 national football team will miss the final stage of U23 Asian Cup for the first time, which makes the team lose a good exercise opportunity. This is of course the loss of the team itself, but relative to safety and health, it seems that it is no longer the main problem.
At present, China U22 National Football Team, which is training at Xianghe Base, has no official competition task, so it is very likely that the training will be finished ahead of schedule, and the players will return to their respective clubs and teams to participate in the upcoming FA Cup.
According to the reporter, the most important task of China's 99-year-old U22 national football team is the men's football competition of the Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou next September. Originally, I trained for the Asian Games by participating in the five U23 Asian Cup qualifiers and the final in June next year. However, after withdrawing from the U23 Asian Cup, the China Football Association will definitely try to create a series of opportunities for this team to participate in international competitions, especially next year, if the global epidemic situation improves, the U22 national football team will definitely have the opportunity to participate in international competitions for training. Of course, the task and goal of China U22 national football team is to achieve good results in the Hangzhou Asian Games, and it will not be changed because of this sudden change.
The U22 national football team will withdraw from the preliminaries of the U23 Asian Cup 2 Beijing time101October 1 1. According to titan sports reporter Ma Dexing, the China Football Association decided to send a letter to the AFC to give up the preliminary round of the U23 Asian Cup. This means that after giving up the right to host, China Football will not even participate in the highest level Asian U23 competition.
According to the report, the China Football Association officially submitted an application for retirement to the AFC, and it needs to wait for further clarification from the AFC. The reason is that it is difficult for U22 national football team to return home after playing abroad.
The U23 Asian Cup is the highest level competition in Asian U23 countries. However, in this competition, the China team did not achieve good results. 20 18 except for one home win, all the other three games won in three games and never made the group again. The current score is 1+ 1. At first, China hosted the 2022 U23 Asian Cup, but later China gave up the right to host it and held it in Tajikistan later this month.
Now, once China officially announces its withdrawal, it means that these U22 national teams have lost the best competition opportunity before the Asian Games. At present, this U22 national team is all 99-year-old players. These famous stars include Liu Ruofan, Tao and Jiang Shenglong. Their task is to achieve good results in the Hangzhou Asian Games next September. However, at present, the absence of this U23 Asian Cup can only make preparations for the Asian Games in advance.
Originally, China's opponent in the group stage was mainly Australia, but now there is no chance for the China-Australia showdown to be staged. Of course, in the eyes of many people, it is difficult for China to enter the finals even if she participates. Because China's U-level national team is not performing well.
The current head coach of U22 national team is jankovic. Years of experience in leading domestic young players made jankovic the last trustworthy foreign teacher. This time, he missed the game, which was also a blow to him.
