El Tiempo Lo Cura Todo: The Camacho Era - The 2012 National Team Thread

This was quite possibly the dumbest idea the CFA has had, at least in having the CSL coaches attend, a number of them have more experience and more success than Camacho.

 

I like your Spanish

 

well not a good start to the coming CNY, this fiasco and the animosity between hongkongers and mainlanders rearing its ugly head again. Here's hoping guozu will have a more auspicious beginning.

 

Malawi friendly in April ?

Any news about Feng Renliang?

 

well hope for best i guess.

And no problem. We all are grateful for your contributions

 

Interestinggggggg
Gonna see jin jingdao and wu lei
Against jordan

 

This roster....ah, I don't know what to say, this roster shows how stupid the Camacho tenure is, now he's doing what Gao was doing and just throwing darts at a board, hoping some will stick, its disgusting...

 

I'm excited to see Wu Lei!

Though I'm wondering why Zheng Long wasn't chosen...

 

This.

Also, lmao at Zhao Peng.

Zhang Linpeng should be a starter from now on.

 

Spain friendly on 3. June in Sevilla.

For some reason, given our "90 minute effort" (or lack thereof), I'm not too surprised by that news.

 

Evergrande players have also been promised 2 additional days of vacation from training...

This is nothing new, it's a quasi-scientific Chinese designed training style that has been around for many years and used to be a phsyical test for CSL players before the start of the season.

 

curious, can someone explain this yoyo method of training.

 

It's basically an endurance test, this is a decent explanation of it:

though when the CSL was doing it, it also included a number of other conditioning tests that, for whatever reason, the players were never capable of passing.

 

I wonder how advanced are Chinese football training methods?
1, Do they use Pro zone?
2, What skill based training do they do, if any?
3, I hear AC Milan have personal trainers for each of their older players, does that happen in Chinese football?
4, I know in the EPL all players go through Body Fat Index measurements and I've heard some stories that players have gone through injection therapy, which isn't illegal but still questionable, heck I've even heard some athletes go through a muscle biopsy to see the potential on how big their muscle can grow. I wanna know if Chinese footballers go to these extremes or is my perception that their training methods are still archaic and they're praying that they're faster and stronger then their opposition?

 

1. No
2. I've seen a lot of teams skills based training, but only in season training sessions.
3. Hell no.
4. Body fat tests are definitely administered and you'll see tons of supplements/enhancements around, perhaps not all being legal, but there definitely isn't the intense testing that you are talking about, at least not at the club level.

 

Thanks for the info I guess my perception that these guys were still throwing medicine balls from the 1950's turned out to be wrong.

Having said that this yoyo method of training has been around for years and every team in Europe has been using it, especially during pre-season. It is kinda frightening to think that this training method is considered new and how far China is with their football.
