Chinese Olympic team starts training at Cobham

The Chinese Olympic side have started training at English Premier League champions Chelsea’s training headquarters in Cobham.

Ratomir Dujkovic’s team will camp and train at Cobham for two weeks and also play three games against London sides, the first one against a Chelsea XI on Monday.

Dujkovic said his men would put up a good show. “You will see a very strong team with a very positive attitude,” he said. 'They never give up.”

“They are without international experience but they can face any team, including Brazil, Argentina or Serbia. Of course this is only the beginning but I am sure you will like this young China team.”

“The target at the Olympics for the Chinese Federation is top four. For me it is only the gold medal.”

Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho said the training sessions of the Premier League champions would be open to the Chinese team.

“I won't be coaching their team because they have their own coach and he knows what he has to do to improve his team - but my training sessions will be open to them. And at the end of each session, I will always be open to say what I did and why I did it,” said Mourinho.

“There will be seminars with our coaches and staff on physical preparation, medical, nutrition, everything. Our methodology is completely open to them.”
