Tajikistan hopes to use the same hotel and venue as the national team during their preparations in ABU Dhabi.
Tajikistan, the rival team of the national football team, went to the training ground on the night of their arrival in Dubai on December 16, and after that, the team arranged two training sessions a day for physical and physical reserves. The team's arrangement is basically every morning in the hotel gym for physical training, in the evening to the training field for physical reserve and technical and tactical drills. On December 22, the seventh day after the team arrived in Dubai, coach Segert gave all the players a day off and allowed them to go out for leisure. Starting on December 23, the team resumed normal training, but the previous practice of two a day was changed to one a day. In the past two days, the team has trained at night, and the technical and tactical content has increased significantly. It is reported that the team will finish the first phase of preparation in Dubai on the 27th, and then move to ABU Dhabi on the 28th.
It is understood that as of yesterday (24), Tajikistan coach Segert called up 27 players have not yet arrived. When the team arrived in Dubai from Tajikistan, there were a total of 22 players, and five overseas players were unable to arrive with the team because their respective clubs had tournament commitments.
Although the Tajikistan team is about to arrive, but during the training in Dubai, players due to injury or cold and other physical reasons, not all players have participated in the training of the whole team, the past period of time, intermittent players are absent from the team's training. For example, Umarbayev, the central midfield player in Bulgaria, because of a cold, did not participate in the team's training for the first time until yesterday (24) evening.
According to the plan, the Tajik team will finish the first phase of training in Dubai on the 27th and move to ABU Dhabi on the 28th. It is incomprehensible that after the Tajikistan team moved to ABU Dhabi, it actually proposed to stay in the same hotel as the Chinese men's national team, and also proposed to use the same training ground as the Chinese men's national team. Under normal circumstances, like before the competition, the opponents in the same group are very taboo to eat and live with each other, and even training venues should be staggered. However, the Tajik team offered to stay in the hotel where the Chinese team is currently staying, and to use the training ground currently used by the Chinese team. To this end, the Chinese team in ABU Dhabi in charge of the special travel arrangements of the UAE accompany asked the Chinese team's opinion. This is incomprehensible. Since the Tajikistan team will not arrive in ABU Dhabi until December 28, which hotel will they stay in? There is no definitive word yet.
According to the news from Hong Kong, China's Hong Kong team is scheduled to play a warm-up match against Tajikistan in ABU Dhabi on January 4. This will be Tajikistan's only warm-up match before the Asian Cup. Hong Kong will play an internal warm-up match against China on January 1 before playing Tajikistan.
