Chapter 331: You still cant ask for too much from newcomers(1/3)
"A shell-shock arc appeared in the top ten, Xu Keham's decisive kick"
"The National Youth Free Kick Genius Shines in the World Preliminaries"
Not surprisingly, the day after the victory, sports newspapers across the country were all flooded with the victory.
What is different from the past is that this time the media's focus is not on how many goals the team has won, but on Xu Liang, who scored directly from a free kick.
"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and each wave is stronger than the last!"
Just after the China-Pakistan war ended, Lao Rong published such an article on his blog.
"...I have been watching football for many years, and I still think Jianlibao is a young player."
"...I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, these young players would also become seniors."
"...Is the Chinese team going to become the world of the post-80s generation?"
Lao Rong's emotion resonated with the fans.
Many netizens echoed his comments on his blog.
"Yes, I still remember that the four little swans came back as Qinwang 4 years ago, but I didn't expect that they would grow into mainstays today."
"Looking at Xu Liang's young face, who would have thought that this raw melon egg can also score goals!"
"Xu Liang, Du Wei, Zheng Zhi...these players are all born in the 1980s!"
"Is it possible that we will send these 20-year-old players to the World Cup next year?"
"I wonder how many Ronaldos and Beckhams there are here!"
...
Although the team defeated Bahrain at home and once again ushered in victory.
But the Iranian team is also chasing after them.
The Chinese team currently has 16 points, having already qualified last year.
But now, fans can only pin their hopes on the next game.
The later you get, the more cautious you need to be.
At this time, the Chinese team does not dare to lose, and neither does the Iranian team.
For both teams, a draw is a luxury.
After Qatar also lost to the Iranian team, the situation in Group A has become completely clear.
Thailand, Bahrain, and Qatar were eliminated, while the Chinese team and Iran competed for the top two spots in the group.
Although the points satisfy the fans.
But the team did not qualify.
And as the top ten games come to an end, the team's schedule disadvantage has become increasingly obvious.
For the Chinese team, the last home game on October 6 is particularly important.
Facing Qatar, which is likely (very likely) to fight for honor (West Asia), the Chinese team has no choice but to win!
October 6, Shenyang Wulihe Stadium.
The sixth round of Group A of the Top Ten Tournament, China VS Qatar.
As the Chinese team's penultimate game in the top ten and the last home match, this game attracted the attention of fans across the country.
Countless fans are looking forward to the Chinese team qualifying at home.
But at present, it seems that the only thing the team can do is to play its own game well.
What surprised the fans was that Zeng Zheng, who said he was "cautious", arranged a 433 formation in this game.
Goalkeeper Ou Chuliang, the defense line is Xu Yunlong, Zhang Minghua, Li Weifeng and Wu Chengying; Zheng Zhi and Li Xiaopeng serve as double midfielders, Zhang Xiaorui stands alone in the front midfielder position; the front three are Shao Jiayi, Yang Chen and Qu Bo.
On the whole, Zeng Zheng once again showed his radical side.
Except for Li Tie who is still recovering from injury, the other main players in the main lineup have only one reason for not playing - taking turns.
Only when you have a good rest can you be in better condition to face the last away game against Iran.
From this perspective, there is really no need to send out all the main players in this game against Qatar.
After the opening, the Chinese team, which focuses on offense, took the lead in launching an attack.
The two wingers, led by Zhang Xiaorui, Shao Jiayi and Qu Bo, used a very determined attitude to press their opponents to attack.
Only two minutes into the game, Shao Jiayi turned his back to the goal on his left rib and received Zhang Xiaorui's pass.
Under the close pressure of his opponent, Shao Jiayi took a step back and suddenly followed up with a fake kick.
In this way, after Cruyff turned around with an extremely exaggerated movement, Shao Jiayi successfully got rid of the defender and then passed the ball to Yang Chen.
Yang Chen, who rushed into the penalty area, slightly missed the ball.
Although he had already run through it, he still managed to push the ball back a little with his heel.
Zhang Xiaorui, who was inserted in the back row, glanced forward after receiving the ball.
Although the path and line of sight for shooting in front were blocked, Zhang Xiaorui did not hesitate at all and directly distributed the ball to the other side.
Qu Bo from the right wing came forward to meet the ball. With a slight push with his left foot, the ball rolled out of the baseline along the near post.
Seeing this, both Qu Bo and the fans behind the goal let out a sigh of regret.
"My left foot still doesn't work!"
Qu Bo tapped his toes on the ground and turned his ankles back and forth.
He was able to play in this game only because of his left foot!
After Xu Liang shined in the last game, Qu Bo was called by Zeng Zheng for a talk.
As the backbone of the National Youth forward line, Qu Bo's development has attracted more attention from fans than Du Wei, Xu Liang, Sun Xiang and other National Youth players.
Zeng Zheng's conversation was very simple, just to test the ability of Qu Bo's left foot.
The reason why Zhang Xiaorui thrives at Benfica is, in many cases, due to his ability to have no inverse foot.
This is also the result of his diligent study and practice since childhood.
But Qu Bo started out as a right winger, with speed as his specialty.
The education I have received since I was a child is to run as fast as I can, use my speed to pass my opponent, and then make a pass.
Such a single attribute can naturally only be reduced to a substitute in the increasingly improved national team.
Like the previous discussions with Jianlibao, he was gradually eliminated from the main lineup because of this.
Nowadays, although Qu Bo has studied abroad, it does not mean that he can play the main role in the national team by playing for a European club.
Zeng Zheng placed ten footballs in the upper right corner of the penalty area and asked Qu Bo to kick them to the place designated by him with his left foot.
Qu Bo passed this kind of almost fixed-point shot easily.
Then, kick the ball while running, kick directly while dribbling, add a goalkeeper, and set up a human wall.
After several rounds of tests, Zeng Zheng just nodded slightly and did not tell the test results.
When his name appeared on the list, Qu Bo knew that he had passed the preliminary examination.
But what about actual exam taking?
The push shot he just made obviously failed to satisfy the fans and Zeng Zheng.
"Qubo ah Qubo!"
"Even Ryoko can score goals."
"Coach Zeng thinks so highly of you, you can't let your guard down!"
Not long after encouraging themselves, the Chinese team's offensive came back.
The attack is still initiated from the left.
Shao Jiayi has outstanding left foot ability, he can pass and shoot, and his speed is not slow.
After receiving the ball from his teammate, he went all the way to the baseline and passed the ball.
Although Yang Chen, who was the fulcrum of the offense in this game, was strictly guarded by his opponents, his covering role was still in place without a goal scoring mission.
Facing Laiqiu, Yang Shao used his body to block the defensive player with his forehead, and pushed the ball back to Li Xiaopeng who was following behind.
The latter did not distribute the ball to the right this time, but shot immediately.
There was only a bang as the ball hit the right post and bounced out.
Just when everyone was lamenting Li Xiaopeng's powerful shot, Qu Bo appeared in the center of the screen again.
Whoosh!
The high-speed qubo wind blew by.
He intercepted the ball before the Qatar defender and then shot directly.
