Last year wasn't eventful for Team China. Although China made some headline for losing only 1-0 to Spain in an away friendly, CFA did many decisions that caused trouble for the national team.. namely the Sweden and Brazil friendlies that brought unnecessary injuries to our players.. the 8-0 lost to Brazil with an incomplete team made a pit for the national team's performance. Now putting 2012 aside, for 2013, the true challenges for Camacho arrive. Asian Cup 2015 Qualifiers: Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Iraq. East Asian Federation Cup: South Korea, Japan, Australia. Although Camacho did not bring us to World Cup 2014, we can only blame the CFA for making a knee-jerk decision to fire Gao Hongbo and put Camacho in few weeks before the group stage start. Now Camacho needs to show us: why are you our coach? what can you really do change the team?
Confirmed friendly: Jan 30th - China vs. Oman in Oman. Unconfirmed friendly: June - China vs. Uzbekistan in unknown venue. Month not decided - China vs. Sweden, somewhere in China.
lol at Wang Dalei's spiderman thing, and I really like Wang Yongpo's jacket. It would look nice with a random Diesel jeans.
because the jacket is shiny? i seen alot too, with brighter hue of navy blue and occasionally purple and orange.
Injury update: Hao Junmin, Wang Yongpo, Rong Hao, and Zhang Linpeng are NOT present at the Spain training due to injuries.
Zhu Ting will take Rong Hao's place. Zhang Linpeng will return to national team once his injury is over (so no substitution).
some updates about the training: - u22 team is currently in the same training ground as the senior team, led by fu bo - due to senior team having alot of injuries, some players from u-22 are used in training match - xu xin (the athletico madrid dude) and shi ke were called up in the 60-min friendly, where the senior team played against a third-tier spanish team (and lost 2-0)
- it was rumoured that the "future portuguese china star" team will be joining u-22 and senior team for training too - u-22 won 9-0 over 西丙阿科斯俱乐部的U18青年队 (some third tier spanish team's u18 team) and won 3-0 over the 赫内斯youth team
camacho told the fans not to bitch at the senior team saying the team just arrived in spain and not used to the intense training yet. he also hit back at lippi's latest statement of "i never seen a national team that requires months of extensive training, this is rare, national teams get one month max of training at world cup" camacho: "this team has not been playing since november, when the CSL ended, and the players need to prepare for the crucial saudi arabia match"
breaking news (well not really lol) tang miao is joining the spanish training cause china team is lacking in defenders..
14.1 Sportivo Luqueno (Paraguay ?) 2-0 China Today San Fernando CD (Spain )- China 21.1 FC Wil (Switzerland) - China All matches played in Spain ?
the 14.1 match should be a team from Spanish third-tier. and yes, all matches will be played in spain.
Cool Chinese national team training kits with the Korean Hyundai brand ;P....surprised netizens didnt get infuriated.
