on the evening of the 5th, beijing time, the national football team departed from shanghai for adelaide, australia, to prepare for the away game against australia in the third round of the world cup round of 18 on october 10.

the chinese football association considered chartering a flight to and from australia this time, but ultimately gave up to avoid triggering public opinion. this means that in the two games against australia and indonesia, the national football team will face a relatively severe travel test.

wang dalei did not participate in high-intensity training due to physical reasons.

the entire national football team flew to sydney on flight mu561 at 20:20 on the 5th. the whole journey is expected to take less than 11 hours. after arriving in sydney, the team will change to another terminal and wait for a few hours to transfer before boarding. the flight flew to adelaide, the venue for the china-australia battle. as a result, the team's travel time for this away game is almost a full 24 hours.

after the game against australia, the entire national football team will return from adelaide to its home court and qingdao, the venue for the indonesian match. there is no direct flight between adelaide and qingdao. including the transfer time, the return trip will take about 18 days. hours later, if the flight goes smoothly, the national football team will arrive in qingdao and check into the hotel late at night on the 11th, beijing time.

previously, according to "sports weekly" and "beijing youth daily", the chinese football association had considered using charter flights for this trip to and from australia. the original intention was to avoid the team's travel expenses. because there are no direct flights between adelaide, the venue for the china-australia war, and domestic cities, and throughout the top 36, whether going to bangkok, singapore or seoul, the national football team departs by ordinary civil aviation, and the same goes to japan for the top 18 first game in tokyo. this is because these four cities have relatively convenient civil aviation flights to choose from.

chartering a flight is a normal choice in preparation for war. for example, during the world cup preliminaries in september, saudi arabia also chartered flights to and from china, and indonesia will also visit bahrain and china in october. the indonesian football association also decided to use charter flights for the entire jakarta-manama-qingdao-jakarta trip.

traveling has become one of the disadvantages that coach ivan needs to pay more attention to this time.

according to reporters from the paper (www.thepaper.cn), although mainstream media and professional media understand the method of chartering flights to and from australia, after the previous statement about charter flights, there were still mostly negative voices in the public opinion field. in the end, the chinese football association still adopted the travel mode of ordinary civil aviation flights is also largely considered to avoid triggering public opinion.

at present, the biggest problem plaguing the national football team is the physical fatigue of the players. haigang, shenhua and taishan, the three teams participating in the afc champions league and fa cup semi-finals, have played 6 games in the past 20 days. therefore, including zhu chenjie, wu players such as lei, alan and yang zexiang were unable to travel to australia with the team, while players such as wang dalei, micro motion, lin liangming, and fernando also did not participate in high-intensity training due to physical reasons.

before training on the morning of the day of departure on the 5th, head coach ivankovic told the players that they should believe that they are the best players in china to represent the national football team. he also reminded the team that they should learn from the lessons learned against the saudi team. ivan believes that although the australian team at home is the favorite to win, there is no reason for the chinese team to "disarm". therefore, the national football team should make more efforts to ensure that their team's playing style is more aggressive and more adaptable to physical confrontation. the team should have the courage to face the challenge.
