After warm-ups, the practice rounds began in earnest.
What was supposed to be just an intra-squad practice game had to be turned into a more formal rivalry game at the behest of management.
Even the referee, a professional referee was hired on a temporary basis to act as the head referee.
Additionally the management was extremely clever and sold the broadcasting rights of the game to a Chinese broadcasting platform.
CTV-5 picked up the final broadcast rights, and even though it was a training match, the attention for this game has peaked in China!
Chinese fans would like to see another Chinese player after Su Yun and Xie Pengfei to gain a foothold in the top league.
Chen Yu, from Leverkusen's U19 youth team, also came to the stands and wanted to see if his future would be like that of Wu Dalei.
