Chapter 179: This Is Also Called Football (Part I)
"Hello audience friends, I am Liu Jianguo, today we are in Tashkent for you to broadcast the world preliminary match between Uzbekistan and the Chinese team, this is already the fourth game of the top 10 A foot, the first three games we have won three consecutive victories, I hope the Chinese team can show us a more exciting game today. Liu Jianguo paused for a moment and continued: "Today, the people who broadcast the game with me for you are still our old friends Zhang Dao, Mr. Zhang, and Yang Chen, and Yang Chen. β
"Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Dao. "I'm Yang Chen!" The two of them immediately greeted the audience and friends.
"We all know that this game is the first time that the new national team has started, and we played very well in the previous warm-up games, not only winning in a row, but also by big scores, which also strengthened the expectations of many viewers and friends for this game. β
As soon as Liu Jianguo finished speaking, Zhang Dao immediately said, "Yes, we have seen the changes in the national team before this game, and the current national team is indeed very much expected by us, who says that we can't play Barcelona's classic cooperation, at least the current Chinese team can do it." β
Yang Chen also said: "Fu Qiang is the head coach of our new national team, and many people did have a lot of doubts about his ability at the beginning of his tenure, but now I dare to say that the voice of this doubt has been reduced to a minimum, at least everyone feels that our national team has appeared its own style, if it continues like this, we even dare to say that even if there are no overseas players to join, we can do more." β
Liu Jianguo nodded and continued: "Then I will broadcast the lineup list of both sides for you next." Uzbekistan set up a 4-2-3-1 formation today, with goalkeeper Lobanov, Denisov, Klimets, Tukhtahujaev and Hashimov in the back line from left to right, Haidarov and Odir Akhmedov in the midfield, Shomurodov, Jeparov and Bikmaev in the front line, and Sergeyev in the front. After saying so much in one breath, Liu Jianguo also felt dizzy, and involuntarily stopped, and then continued: "The Chinese team also put on the same 4-2-3-1 formation to fight against it today. Goalkeeper Wang Dalei, the back line from left to right Ren Hang, Cai Huikang, Feng Xiaoting and Zhao Mingjian, the midfield back position is Lu Peng and Jiang Ning, the front trident is Gao Junmin, Sun Ke and Yu Dabao, and the forward line is Wu Lei. What do you two think of this lineup?"
"This lineup is the same as the last few games, it didn't surprise us, it should be said that now it seems that this is the best lineup of Coach Fu, so I think Coach Fu wants to do a big job today. β
"Yes, but there are still a lot of surprises for us in the national team this time, after all, players like Ren Hang belong to the national team for the first time and have quickly got the main position, and his playing style is still very good. Hopefully, in today's game, he can continue his good form in the previous game and become famous. Yang Chen also explained with a smile.
Then the players of both sides came out, and the players of the Chinese team did look more energetic, and it seems that the recent series of victories have made them full of confidence in this game.
But the strange thing is that after the game started, both sides played cautiously and did not attack rashly. After all, it is normal for the Chinese team to close away from home, but the problem is that Uzbekistan also seems cautious, and I am afraid that it was also shocked by the terrifying attack power of the Chinese team before.
However, Uzbekistan, playing at home, still had a slight advantage, but the national football team also got two corner kick opportunities, but neither of them resulted in a shot on goal. What is surprising is that in the fourteenth minute, Sun Ke collided with Hashimov on the left side of the backfield and was injured, and was carried back to the lounge by the team doctor.
"This is not a good sign, originally our attack was relatively smooth, but now we have damaged a big player all of a sudden, and the current Chinese team may encounter some twists and turns. Yang Chen said worriedly.
Zhang Dao shook his head slightly, "The problem is that the Chinese team did not play any beautiful cooperation in the first ten minutes, on the whole, we did not see the previous national football team, and the current national team is more like a team that has never had a better way, which is what worries me the most." β
It seems that the Chinese team is a paper tiger, and Uzbekistan launched an offensive in about 20 minutes, and the national football scene soon became more passive.
In the 21st minute, Bikmaev's shot from a tight angle on the right side of the box went over the crossbar and the two sides had their first shot on goal after the opening. Two minutes later, Haidarov fired a long-range shot from 35 yards out.
In the 31st minute, Sergeyev pushed a left-footed shot into the near corner from the left corner of the small penalty area, and Wang Dalei blocked the ball with his legs. In the 40th minute, Tukhtahujaev knocked down Lu Peng in midfield, and Sri Lankan referee Pereira showed a yellow card.
A minute later, China's free-kick went straight to the opponent, and the opponent immediately hit the counter-attack, and Odil Akhmedov's header from the edge of the small penalty area went wide of the left post, and the first half ended.
"Today our national team seems to be too stiff, why can't we show the previous form at all? we don't see any fluid coordination in the way we play now, the players on the pitch don't even produce shots, it's really not like the previous national team. Zhang Dao shook his head lightly as he spoke.
'Maybe we were just trying to hold down in the first half and then we were going to play in the second half, because we're away from home. Yang Chen couldn't help but guess.
Liu Jianguo casually said a few clichΓ©s and turned off the microphone, and then said a little complainingly, "Why do I think Fu Qiang doesn't seem to have any better way?"
"It's only half the time, and I can't see what's going on. Yang Chen still insisted on his own ideas.
Liu Jianguo snorted, "I have watched football for decades, and I have watched all kinds of games, even if there is no goal in the previous warm-up games, but the style of play is very clear, and it also makes us feel immediately bright, but the problem is that this game does not mean that at all, but gives us a feeling of breathlessness, as if someone has taken away the soul of the national team?"
"I think the Chinese team will make substitutions in the second half, maybe some solutions can be found through substitutions. Zhang Dao did not participate in their discussion, but said this lightly.
"But who can be replaced?" Liu Jianguo sighed softly, "No one who can be used has been recruited into the team, I really don't understand Fu Qiang's idea of building a team." β
