Training focuses on physical strength

(BEIJING, March 20) -- The Chinese national men's football team has stepped up physical training ahead of its crucial clash with the Socceroos slated for March 26.

Returning from the scenic spot of Li Jiang, where the team went for a period of rest, the whole team has been engaged in tough training sessions.

"Tough training sessions are waiting for our footballers, because we need to be in better physical shape than our opponents."

"We can't lose to Australia, so everyone should make full preparations for the match."

"We will focus on physical training. When the Socceroos reach their physical limit, we should take advantage of this."

Forward Zhu Ying set a good example to other footballers.

"His physical situation is the best after training," the manager of the team, Wei Shaohui, said.
