Reporter Lu Mi reports After the Spring Festival, the Henan team went to Jeju Island in South Korea to train and played 4 warm-up matches.
After the Spring Festival, the Henan team started overseas winter training on Jeju Island, which is also one of the few overseas training sessions for the Henan team in recent years. The whole team attaches great importance to this winter training. However, during the training on Jeju Island, it snowed heavily and the temperature was low, but these did not affect the team's preparations, and basically followed the process drawn up by coach Nam Ki-il.
During the training in Jeju Island, the personnel of the Henan team have been aligned, and the two center forwards will meet with the team, and the forward line has been configured. It is understood that when Cardoso first arrived in Jeju Island, he was still in the recovery stage and had a period of training with young players. Nan Kiyi's attitude towards him is one of wait-and-see.
On the morning of February 11, the first team had a meeting, and Nankiichi and Cardoso communicated, and the player from the Russian Premier League could be regarded as "joining" the team in the true sense.
The Henan team has not been training for a long time in Jeju Island, playing 4 warm-up games, the opponents are Korea University, Yanbian Longding and K2 team Chungnam Asan, except for the first draw with Chungnam Asan, the other 3 games have been won, plus the first stage of the 3 warm-up games, the Henan team has been undefeated in 7 warm-up games in the two stages of winter training, which is a rare situation in recent years.
After the second match with Chungnam Asan, the Henan team in South Korea successfully completed the training and left for Zhengzhou on February 14. At this stage, the team's biggest gain is that the lineup, skills and tactics have been fully run-in under the condition that the personnel are basically neat, and Liu Xinyu, a domestic striker who came to the team for trial, has signed a contract with the club, just waiting for the official announcement.
The only possible hidden danger is that Cardoso arrived late and missed the first phase of joint training, and most of the second phase was solo training, and only half of the warm-up game was played, which was the rematch against Chungnam Asan.
At the first team meeting on 11 February, Nam Kiichi told the players that the league was about to start and that it was important to unify their thinking, boost the morale of the whole team and work together for this year's goals.
Henan team this year to recruit work earlier, most of them have been ready, the existing position, the domestic central defender is still missing, Li Songyi left the team, has not been supplemented by the corresponding personnel, do not rule out the possibility of introducing another central defender before the end of the registration period.
