BEIJING, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- Players in the Chinese national football team are mainly focusing on improving physical fitness at their training camp, according to striker Lin Liangming.

"We are training rather hard with high intensity and frequency in order to improve our physical fitness," Lin said.

He added that the team is also working to address issues exposed in previous qualifiers.

Head coach Branko Ivankovic has called up 32 players, including some younger faces, for the 10-day training camp in Haikou, south China's Hainan Province.

Lin noted that this training will help newcomers find their feet with the national team.

"We have some young players this time. I believe that through the time we spend together, they will be integrated into the team sooner and know more about the head coach's tactics," he said. Enditem
