　　On the afternoon of the 16th local time, before the whole team went to the resident hotel gym for recovery training, the coaching staff specially arranged for the players to take a "video lesson".

The video content is mainly the team's relatively good performance in the first two rounds of the group match, especially the second round against Colombia.

Coach Wang Anzhi encouraged his disciples to say, "In fact, everyone played well in the previous games, I hope everyone will not lose confidence."

The new Olympic team's "overloaded" preparations lay the foundation for the Paris Olympic preliminaries

　　After a warm-up match with the Klitjewicz Workers, the 2001 U21 national football team, the new national Olympic team, resumed outdoor training in Croatia on October 16.

According to the plan, the team will also participate in 3 warm-up matches before returning to China, which means that during the nearly 3-month overseas training process, the team will have a total of 27 warm-up matches.

High-quality and high-quality overseas training will undoubtedly help improve the actual combat capability of the U21 national football team, thereby laying a solid foundation for the Paris Olympics preliminaries to start in the second half of next year.

　　According to the previously confirmed plan, the Croatian Football Association has arranged a total of 12 official international warm-up matches and 6 teaching matches for the Chinese U21 men's football team in the 2001 age group.

That is to say, the team arrived in Croatia on August 5 and set off to return to China on November 3, planning to participate in a total of 18 games.

　　However, this Olympic-aged team has been out of high-quality international competitions for a long time, so the coaching staff is very eager for the team to receive as much practical training as possible in the local area to improve its competition ability.

In this case, the team contacted some opponents on their own with the assistance of all parties.

Since the first local warm-up on August 10, the team has participated in 24 local games in total, which means that the team plays a game every 3 days.

　　The U21 national football team originally planned to participate in 4 more games before returning to China, including a high-intensity warm-up with a Croatian Super League team. However, due to the players' fatigue and injury problems, the coaching staff finally decided to abandon the game.

　　According to the plan, the U21 national football team will participate in the first stage of the Paris Olympic preliminaries in Asia in early September next year.

Participating in 27 warm-up matches in less than 3 months, the U21 national football team's preparation quality has been greatly improved.

Judging from the fact that the U19 national football team and the U17 national football team improved their competitiveness with the help of overseas training and high-quality warm-up, and finally advanced to the final stage of the Asian Cup in their respective sequences, the number of preparations for "replacing with competitions" is correct.
