70. East Asian Cup

The Longteng team really lost a bit in this game, after the game, Roque Gill was okay, his foot injury was not serious, and he only needed to rest for two weeks to play, while Tao Wentao was a bit serious, after the team doctor and the hospital examination, he had to rest for at least a month before playing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is a good chance that he will miss the East Asian Cup.

Coupled with Lu Zhihui's injury and a month of rest, the Longteng team injured three absolute main players at once.

Fortunately, after this round of matches, the Chinese Super League will make way for the East Asian Cup, and the team will have a two-week break, when Lu Zhihui and Roque Gill can return.

However, the vast majority of the players of the Longteng team could not get a good rest during the league break this time.

In addition to the national team players in the team to participate in the national team competition, the Chinese Olympic team also took advantage of the interval of this league to conduct intensive training.

The summoning of the two national echelons made the Longteng team basically empty, and Zhang Sheng simply only arranged ordinary physical training for the remaining teammates, because the team was not enough to play a warm-up game in groups.

For this East Asian Cup, Zhang Sheng does not expect too much.

First of all, the Chinese Super League is now in full swing, except for the Longteng team singing all the way, 14 points ahead of the second place Guangzhou Evergrande, the other Chinese Super League teams are fighting for their respective positions.

Teams like Shandong Luneng, Beijing Guoan, and Shanghai SIPG are trying to grab a qualification for the AFC Champions League, while the huge relegation team behind them is desperate for a place in the Chinese Super League next year.

Most of the players in the national team come from the top teams, and it is more difficult to get them to 100% form in an inconsequential competition like the East Asian Cup.

And because the national team did not recruit overseas players back this time, the overall strength declined even more.

Although the South Korean team and the Japanese team did not recruit overseas players, the overall strength of their domestic players is still much higher than that of Chinese domestic players.

The Chinese team, which is fighting at home, does not want to lose the face of the host, so it must be pressed out to attack, and it is inevitable that the opponent will counterattack when the time comes.

Sure enough, in the first game against the South Korean team, the players of the non-Longteng team played in fear, and Wang Yonglu, who replaced Tao Wentao's position, watched his teammates back in place very indifferently after losing the ball in the midfield many times, and this emotion soon affected other players.

Even Feng Xiaoting, who has always been very professional, also played leisurely, in the first half, after he was passed on the back line, he smiled and watched the opposing striker forcibly insert into the penalty area, but fortunately, Ma Yongli desperately chased back and shoveled the ball out of the bottom line.

Even He Wei, who was commentator, was extremely angry: "Why do they still let them play in such a state, I think that in addition to the players of the Longteng team who are still fighting on the field, the players from other clubs are completely here to play soy sauce." ”

Li Yi, the "Emperor" who was in charge of commenting with He Wei's partner, also asserted: "If you continue to play like this, the players will not be unified in their thinking, and it will be a matter of time before they lose the ball." ”

When many fans heard Li Yi's words, they obviously felt that he had something to say, after all, he once shouted "It's dawn", and he may have thought of the situation in the club at the beginning.

Whether it's fans watching the game in front of the TV or watching it online, they can't wait to wake up the absent-minded players.

Originally, in order to run in the tactics, Pei Lan only got 4 Longteng players before the opening, and after surviving the 0:0 half-time ball, the other two Longteng players Yao Tian and Nie Jiang who were called this time were sent as soon as the second half began, and both of them also played for the national team for the first time.

After the two of them came on the field, the situation of the national team was slightly better, although Yao Tian didn't defend much in the front court, but he attacked more desperately, plus there was Nie Jiang on the forward line, and there were club teammates like Lin Feng in the back, someone helped him deliver the ball, and he took the national team to play a few beautiful attacks.

But by the end of the game, many players in the national team were out of fitness.

In the 78th minute of the game, the South Korean team took advantage of the lack of fitness of the veteran Zheng Zhi to pass him, and then Kim Seung-dae scored a goal, and the Chinese team fell behind 0:1.

In the end, the Chinese team, which was unable to fight back, lost the game 0:1.

After the game, except for several players of the Longteng team plus Sun Ke, other players were subjected to overwhelming criticism and abuse.

The media even took out the national team competition regulations proposed by various clubs before to squeeze them.

For example, the media and fans compared the performance of several Guangzhou Evergrande players with the terms of the "Eight Regulations on Evergrande International Footballers" issued by Guangzhou Evergrande Club, and finally issued another ridiculous question: "According to the requirements in the regulations, I don't know how much the players on the field should be fined this time, and how many games should be banned by the team?"

At the same time, there are several other clubs that have been complained about, because after the Longteng team grabbed the headlines of Evergrande and started the Longteng Club international regulations, not only Guangzhou Evergrande issued the same regulations, including Dalian Albin, which was not relegated at that time, and now Shandong Luneng, Jiangsu Shuntian, and Beijing Guoan have all issued similar documents, and this time is just the time to give the media and fans a mouthful.

Only the players of the Longteng team escaped everyone's doubts because of their desperate performance, of course, Sun Ke, a player that Zhang Sheng likes very much, is not listed, his motivation to fight on the field is Zhang Sheng's favorite, if it weren't for the team's current personnel too much, and Sun Ke himself is worth a lot of money, and there are many people staring, Zhang Sheng really wants to buy this player.

The loss of the national team not only made people from the outside world unhappy, but there was also another person who was unhappy, that is, the current chairman of the Chinese Football Association - Cai Pingpong.

In the second game of the Chinese team against the North Korean team, Cai Ping Pong sat in the audience, which was clearly the posture of on-site supervision.

In the face of such pressure, the players of the national team are very different from the state of the first game, but the most pleasing is the players of the Longteng team.

Because Perrin simply let all the Longteng players start this game.

There are Ma Yongli, Zhou Zhou and Xiao Yunfan in the backfield, Lin Feng and Yao Tian in the midfield, and Nie Jiang in the forward, which is equivalent to the central axis of the Chinese national team are Longteng team players.

In the fifteenth minute of the first half, Lin Feng cooperated in the midfield in a row of two-on-two, handed the ball to Yao Tian, who made a beautiful turn to get rid of it, and then stuffed the ball to Nie Jiang, Nie Jiang burst into the penalty area to form a single knife, and successfully pushed the far corner in the face of the goalkeeper Li Mingguo who attacked the North Korean team.

The Chinese team took a 1-0 lead.

At this time, Cai Pingping, who was supervising the battle, also showed a satisfied smile.

After taking the lead, the Chinese team played more relaxed, and before the end of the first half, Lin Feng's long-range shot shot out of the world wave, expanding the score to 2:0.

After Wu Lei also scored again through a counterattack in the second half, the Chinese team sealed the victory.

In the end, the Chinese national team defeated the opponent 3:0.

After the game, the internationals received a lot of praise, especially the performance of several internationals of the Longteng team, which made everyone feel that they were the key to the victory of this game.

Of course, everyone is talking more about Nie Jiang.

In this game, Nie Jiang broke three records at one time, one is the record of the youngest international player to score a goal, one is the record of the youngest international player to score, and the other is the record of the youngest starting international player.

Breaking this record in history is Zhang Yuning, a young player who stayed abroad.

The previous three records were held by Zhang Linpeng in 2009, Zhao Xuyang in 2003 and Zhou Haibin in 2003, who were 20, 18 and 18 years old at the time.

Nie Jiang raised this record to a height that would be difficult for later generations to achieve.

After this game, Cai Ping Pong also went to the hotel of the national team to express his opinions and praise the players. Perrin, the "obedient" head coach, followed behind with a smile, which was really a spectacle.

As the host, the Chinese team is very dominant in the schedule, the last round of the game, the two games did not play at the same time, North Korea vs South Korea played in the afternoon, and the Chinese team waited until the evening, so that the team had more time to arrange the corresponding tactics.

In the two teams that have finished the game, North Korea is one win, one loss and one draw, South Korea is one win and two draws, and in the last game, if the Chinese team with one win and one loss can defeat the Japanese team with one draw and one loss, then it will win the East Asian Cup.

In the face of the special opponent of the Japanese team, and the hope of winning the championship, the Chinese team showed all their ability in this game.

At the same time, this game also has a big gimmick, that is, the comparison between Nie Jiang and Usami Takashi.

As the most eye-catching player of both teams right now, it will be a big point of interest who can perform well in this game.

Including Usami Takashi herself, she is also very much looking forward to meeting Nie Jiang again.

The clubs of the two have met twice before, and in the end, the stronger Longteng team remained unbeaten with one win and one draw, and Nie Jiang also scored a goal in each of these two games, and his performance was far better than Takashi Usami.

Takashi Usami later studied this player who broke his AFC Champions League record for the youngest goalscorer and found that he does have strength, but the confident Usami Takashi believes that the victory of Nie Jiang's team, including his goal, is more because the Longteng team has foreign aid far beyond his parent club Gamba Osaka.

Now in this game, the Chinese team and the Japanese team are both second teams, and neither has recruited overseas players, which is the time to reflect the real ability of both sides.

With that in mind, Takashi Usami gave the Chinese a blow just five minutes into the opening period, when he almost opened the scoring for Japan with a long-range shot from the edge of the box from a corner.

Takashi Usami's shot angle was very well chosen, just the height that goalkeeper Wang Dalei couldn't save, and the subsequent fall was also extremely sudden, but it was a pity that he missed the goal because he was too much of an angle.

In this game, the veteran Zheng Zhi sat on the bench to rest because he played two games in a row, and the midfield was Cai Huikang and Lin Feng to partner.

In terms of the protection of the team's defense and the transfer of passes, the gap between Cai Huikang and Zheng Zhi is very large, and the ball just now was protected by no back on the edge of the penalty area to give Takashi Usami a chance to shoot.

The Chinese team that almost lost the goal began to strengthen the interception and scrambling of the midfield, at this time Cai Huikang reflected his advantages again, after all, he is younger than Zheng Zhi, more able to run, more able to grab, he spared no effort to run and steal, the defensive hardness of the midfield is stronger, and Wu Xi, who replaced Yao Tian in the forward position, is obviously more comprehensive than Yao Tian.

The Chinese team has a rare ability to compete with the Japanese team in the midfield.

Coupled with the fact that Gao Lin and Yu Dabao on the front line are both players who can't be looked down on by defenders in the Japanese team, China's offense has finally started.

In the tenth minute of the first half, Lin Feng handed the ball to Gao Lin on the right side in the midfield, Gao Lin protected the ball in the front court, and one person attracted three defenders of the Japanese team, even in this case, he held the ball firmly, and when he saw Wu Xi coming to answer, he accurately passed the ball to the other party.

It should be said that the Japanese team's defensive system is still very solid, and when Wu Xi received the ball, two more Japanese players came to defend him, but unfortunately the defenders are limited after all, and if too many people are spent to defend Gao Lin and Wu Xi, other positions will definitely leak.

Sure enough, Wu Xi did not go to shoot greedily, but returned the ball to Nie Jiang, who was pulled out of the penalty area, who was now completely unguarded.

In the face of such an opportunity, Nie Jiang decisively shot with his feet, and the ball flew straight to the junction of the upper left corner of the goal post and the goal beam, which is the so-called "ten-point angle", and the Japanese goalkeeper Shunaki Higashiguchi had no way to shoot at all, and could only watch the ball fly into the net.

Nie Jiang's goal made He Wei and Xu Yang, who were in charge of the commentary, also applaud.

He Wei praised the Chinese team's offensive coordination: "Very beautiful frontcourt coordination, from the middle to the wing, and then from the wing to the middle, completely open the opponent's defense, so that the players who are inserted in the back get the opportunity to shoot, this kind of attack is what we want to see." Because it means that the team has a very clear tactical plan and it is well executed. ”

"We also have to see Nie Jiang's personal ability. As a striker, his movement is also intriguing. Seeing the formation of the opponent's back five, he first pulled in the penalty area, then went out of the penalty area to take away the defenders, and finally rushed to the front of the penalty area, and the opponent's defenders were completely eliminated by him in the process. Xu Yang analyzed Nie Jiang's ability, "The last shot can also be said to be perfect, at such an angle, the goalkeeper is impossible to save." ”

Seeing Nie Jiang's goal, Takashi Usami was very unwilling, and with the same opportunity, his luck was too bad to hit the crossbar, but the opponent hit the dead corner.

"The game has just begun. I'll overtake it. Usami Takashi muttered silently in his heart.
