Live broadcast on August 18 according to the report of Beijing Youth Daily, there are variables in the choice of over-age players for the men’s football Asian Games.
The men’s football Asian Games team will focus on preparing for the Asian Games in Hangzhou on September 2. The team plans to arrange two informal teaching competitions, with the opponent being the Asian Games team or club team. Considering that some players have been transferred to the Olympic team to participate in the Olympic preliminary match, and some players may suffer injuries, the coach team of the men’s Asian Games plans to recruit about 25 players, and then select a list of 22 players.
According to the schedule, the men’s football Asian team group match against India on September 19, Myanmar on the 21st and Bangladesh on the 24th. This match was not held during the international match day, so the players will be absent from multiple rounds of league matches. For this reason, the Football Association and League management are likely to help the clubs that provide players by temporarily adding the number of players registered by the team and adjusting the foreign aid policy.
In terms of over-age players, Tan Long, Gao Tianyi and Barton had participated in two warm-up matches with South Korea U24 on behalf of the men’s Asian Games. These three performed well and the integration effect was ideal. However, due to the lack of injuries to some suitable-age players, the coaching staff had to make plans for possible candidates for changing over-age players. It is understood that in addition to the above three people and Wu Xi, Zhang Lindi and Zhang Yuning who participated in the joint training of the men’s football Asian Games team, the over-age players such as Wu Lei, Deng Hanwen and Jiang Guangtai also joined the candidate lineup. Before the last moment before the training, the coaching staff will not easily make a decision to change people.
