After a flight of 2 hours and 18 minutes, the China Eastern Airlines flight carrying the Chinese men’s football delegation landed safely in Tokyo, Japan at 4:25 pm local time on January 23. According to local epidemic prevention regulations, all members of the delegation underwent nucleic acid testing at Narita International Airport and went to the resident hotel following passing the test collectively. The naturalized player Jiang Guangtai and Wu Lei, who played for the Espanyol club, also arrived in Tokyo at almost the same time. According to the plan, the whole team will have their first outdoor training following arriving in Tokyo on the followingnoon of January 24.
Affected by the epidemic, the Japanese government has introduced very strict restrictions on the entry of foreigners. Although the Chinese team has been specially approved by the Japanese government to participate in Japan, all members must undergo nucleic acid testing at Narita Airport following arriving in Tokyo, and must wait for the nucleic acid results to pass before leaving the airport and heading to the resident hotel. The Chinese Football Association confirmed through official channels on the evening of the 23rd, Beijing time, that all members of the delegation tested negative for nucleic acid.
It is understood that in order to facilitate the team to travel to and from the training ground, the competition ground and the hotel, the team security team specially selected a Hilton hotel as the team’s resident hotel during the day according to the plan recommended by the host. Although the whole team did not go to the hotel by car until the nucleic acid test results were released, and the drive time from Narita Airport to the hotel was more than 1 hour, the Chinese team still flew to Tokyo at 8:15 p.m. local time, which is the flight of the whole team. Checked into the hotel more than 3 hours later. It should be said that this trip has been smooth for the whole team.
Considering that the whole team had an intensive training session in Shanghai the day before departure, and it took nearly half a day to arrive at the away station, the coaching staff did not arrange training on the day the team arrived in Japan. According to the plan, the team’s first local training will be scheduled on the followingnoon of January 24, local time.
It is worth noting that among the five “overseas players” who were recruited, Wu Lei and naturalized player Jiang Guangtai also arrived in Japan on the evening of January 23 local time, and they met members of the army at Narita Airport. Therefore, the two will participate in the joint training on the 24th without any accident.
The other three naturalized players, Luo Guofu, Alan and Fernando, were accidentally stranded in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, as a transit point during the flight from Sao Paulo, Brazil to Tokyo, due to the temporary cancellation of the flight. Their new voyage has been confirmed. If nothing else, they will arrive in Tokyo at 9:45 am local time on the 24th.
In addition to “travel”, the Chinese team’s “food and accommodation” in Japan’s away game are also very well arranged. For example, during the team’s stay in Japan, various epidemic prevention regulations were basically implemented in accordance with the standards of last year’s Tokyo Olympics. The entire team is stationed on a separate floor in the hotel, and will use exclusive security channels to enter and exit the hotel.
On the night of their arrival in Japan, the Chinese team did not serve the first lunch (needed by the local epidemic prevention work) as in the previous expeditions to West Asia, but ate according to the predetermined menu in the independent restaurant of the hotel.Return to Sohu, see more
