Chapter 184: The First Battle

Shenyang LN University, now college students are already starting their final exams. The strictness of the exams in college www.biquge.info far from that in high school, and most of the invigilators are in the classroom, and as long as the candidates' behavior is not exaggerated, these invigilators will turn a blind eye.

The examination cycle of different majors is also different, Wang Shihan finished the last subject this afternoon, and Zhou Ying is the same as her, after today, the winter vacation will begin.

As for Pan Yongcheng, a hard-pressed senior student, he is about to start his internship career, but this guy seems to be plotting some "tricks" and seems to be going to do a "big thing", but what is the "big thing"? He didn't tell Wang Shihan and Zhou Ying, but just roughly revealed that "it won't be so fast, you have to wait for a while, and when the time is ripe, you will naturally know."

Wang Shihan and Zhou Ying didn't want to care about him, today was January 8, and everyone's exam subjects had ended, so they made an appointment to go out to watch the ball game between the Chinese team and Kuwait in the evening, and then return to Dalian the next day.

At 20:50 in the evening, Pan Yongcheng took Zhou Ying and Wang Shihan to the bar, this bar Pan Yongcheng used to come often, so although they came a little late, Pan Yongcheng called the bar owner in advance to reserve three places, so the three of them also got a small place with a comparative view.

Of course, the national football game TV5 has to be broadcast live, especially in the team, there are a large number of foreign players such as Zhang Shujie, fans are very optimistic about this national team, and some people even shouted the slogan of "winning the championship". The Chinese Football Association did not directly state its position on this, only saying that "it will definitely play a good result that satisfies the fans".

There are a lot of people in the bar, both men and women, many people are wearing the jerseys of the national football team, Wang Shihan saw many "9" numbers of the national team, as well as "10", these two numbers are the most, because this is the number of Zhang Shujie and Li Mu.

The match was broadcast live and China's appointed live commentator was Liu Jianhong, and the match was held at the Jafala Stadium in the northwest of Doha, Qatar, with a capacity of 25,000 people. The stands were already full, and many Chinese fans who came from afar pulled out a huge five-star red flag to cheer for the Chinese team.

Yesterday's opening match Qatar lost 0:2 at home to Uzbekistan, which was good news for the Chinese team. In fact, among the three opponents in Group A, perhaps only Qatar can put some pressure on the Chinese team, and Uzbekistan and Kuwait are slightly inferior. Qatar lost the first game, which is also what the Chinese team is very happy to see.

Wang Shihan and the three came a little late, and did not see the pre-game field adaptation and the warm-up activities of the players, and now the players of both teams have entered the locker room. In the locker room of the Chinese team, head coach Gao Hongbo is arranging tactics for the players.

"It's a 433 formation, which is what we've been using a lot lately. Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, the two of you are on one side, you must fully participate in the attack, and the main attack point of the team is the two of you. ”

The two nodded slightly: "Okay." ”

"Yang Xuri, your first task is to cover Zhang Shujie and Li Mu and attract defensive firepower for them in the middle. ”

Yang Xuri also nodded, in fact, he was a little reluctant, in China he is the second striker after Gao Lin, yesterday Gao Lin suffered a small injury during training, today Gao Hongbo temporarily let him play, but just asked him to cover the two Parma strikers.

Don't talk about him, even if Gao Lin is present, he can only be cannon fodder.

"Deng Zhuoxiang, your position is in this area!" Gao Hongbo said as he drew a large circle on the tactical board with a marker: "You play the front waist and organize the attack." ”

Deng Zhuoxiang said: "I know. ”

'I won't say much at the back, marking defending. Although Kuwait is not a strong team in Asia, it is not a fish belly, you must cheer up and not be careless. The first game of the Asian Cup, we must win!

"Understood. ”

The dressing room in Kuwait was a little tight, and they had known and studied several dangerous figures for the Chinese team for a long time. Especially the two men in the forward line, the head coach Tufigzic repeatedly told the defenders in the team to pay attention to them.

Tufigzić adopts a regional joint defense, mainly because he thinks that the position of Zhang Shujie and Li Mu is too flexible, Zhang Shujie can be qualified as a center, winger, and shadow striker; Li Mu can also play winger and shadow striker on the front line, but it is not suitable for the center, but he can take a step back to play the front midfield. Tufigzic believes that for such a versatile player up front, unless there are enough defenders in the team to compete with their abilities, the man-to-man defense is unstoppable.

What's even more frightening is that there is no obvious weakness in these two men, who are excellent with their left foot, right foot, and header, and are proficient in technique, speed, and dribbling. It's just that Li Mu's absolute speed is a little slower, but his short-range acceleration of 510 meters is completely comparable to Zhang Shujie, and on the football field, this distance is enough to throw the defender away.

Tufigzic only hopes that the players will do their best to freeze them, so that the firepower of the Chinese team will be reduced by more than half.

"Alright, the time is up, let's play. ”

The Kuwaiti players walked out of the locker room, and the Chinese players also came out of the locker room. The main players stood in the players' tunnel, and the substitutes went to the bench, including Yan Tao and Xu Ziyi.

In terms of strength, these two can play the main team, but they are selected for the national team for the first time, and Gao Hongbo temporarily put them on the bench for the sake of safety.

Zhang Shujie is still standing at the end, Li Mu is in front of him, the camera freezes on the faces of the two for a few seconds, Liu Jianhong immediately said: "Now the two Chinese players in the TV picture are very familiar to everyone, the two of them have performed very well in Parma this season, the league has played 17 rounds, both of them have played 16 games, respectively nine goals, four assists and six goals and six assists, they are currently Parma's top scorer and assist king." ”

Immediately the camera was given to Zhao Wenkang, and Liu Jianhong said: "Domestic fans may know less about Zhao Wenkang, mainly because China does not broadcast the Portuguese Super League." Zhao Wenkang has also performed well for Setúbal, scoring five goals and six assists in half a season, and the manager of Setúbal has completely trusted him. ”

Then the camera swept along the player's face, and Liu Jianhong also briefly introduced it to everyone, and when Ma Junqiang appeared, the camera stopped on his face.

"Ma Junqiang should be familiar to everyone, he is now on loan at St. Truiden in Belgium by Chelsea, and is the No. 1 goalkeeper of Sint-Truiden. The 22-year-old Ma Junqiang is also China's No. 1 goalkeeper, just like his jersey number. ”

The referee on duty and the two linesmen took the lead in walking to the field, and the two human dragons behind them gradually appeared in the sight of the fans in the stands, and the shouts became even more frenzied. The bright five-star red flag was also swinging gently, and there were many Chinese fans around holding small national flags, shaking constantly.

According to international practice, the two teams should play the national anthem first, and the Chinese team drew lots for the "guest" in this campaign, because the Chinese national anthem was played first. Zhang Shujie stood on the court, holding the national flag on his left chest with his right hand, listening to the march of the volunteers, looking at the national flag and saluting.

Next came the Kuwaiti national anthem, and after all the pre-game rules were completed, the Chinese team stepped forward and shook hands with the Kuwaiti players standing in a row. Then the players returned to their positions and stood in their places.

Du Peng, the captain of the Chinese team, and Nawaf Khalidi, the captain of Kuwait, picked the edge by guessing the coin, Kuwait got the right of first choice, Khalidi chose the venue, and the Chinese team won the ball.

Yang Xuri and Zhang Shujie stood in the center circle, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle. Zhang Shujie looked at Li Mu, who was standing outside the middle circle, and then looked towards the stands, the huge national flag was very conspicuous.

He has played a lot of international matches in the past, but it was all friendly matches, and today is the first time he has represented the national team to fight for the glory of his country. The same is true for Li Mu, Zhao Wenkang and Ma Junqiang, but it's a pity that Xu Ziyi and Yan Tao can't play for the time being.

The referee blew a long whistle, Yang Xuri knocked the ball to Zhang Shujie, and Zhang Shujie passed it back to Deng Zhuoxiang, and the game officially began.

Liu Jianhong's voice came out of the TV: "CCTV, CCTV, audience, what you are seeing now is a match of Group A of the 15th Qatar Asian Cup broadcast live by TV5 for you, this game is the second game of this Asian Cup, which is played by the Chinese team against the Kuwait team. The first half of the game on the scene had just begun, and the Chinese team kicked off first. Wearing a red shirt and red shorts is the Chinese team. In the first half, the Chinese team attacked from left to right, and Kuwait attacked from right to left. In this game, the Chinese team lined up a formation of 433, the goalkeeper is No. 1 Ma Junqiang, the four defenders are No. 17 Chen Fanyu, No. 5 Du Peng, No. 4 Hu Xiaoning, No. 20 Wu Hao, the three midfielders are No. 21 Yu Dahai, No. 8 Deng Zhuoxiang, No. 7 Zhao Wenkang, and the forwards are No. 10 Li Mu, No. 22 Yang Xuri and No. 9 Zhang Shujie. Among them, Du Peng is the captain on the field. ”

Liu Jianhong paused, and continued: "The formation sent by Kuwait is 451, eleven people are goalkeeper Nawaf Khalidi, who is also their captain on the field, the defenders are No. 13 Musa Idnada, No. 6 Amir Matuk, No. 4 Hussein Fadil, No. 2 Yakubu Tahir, the five midfielders are No. 20 Yusuf Nasser, No. 18 Jala-Ataiki, No. 14 Talal Amir, No. 7 Fahd Ennazi, and the forward is No. 17 Mutawa. ”

As soon as Liu Jianhong finished introducing the main players of the two teams, the Chinese team launched a wave of threatening attacks, Deng Zhuoxiang distributed the ball to the right side in the midfield, and Zhao Wenkang went up to defend as soon as he got the ball. Zhao Wenkang took advantage of the fact that he was running, a clever ball was divided, and Wadley Ali was pulled behind by Zhao Wenkang because his body's center of gravity was forward, and he had no time to adjust.

At the position of 30 meters diagonally to the penalty area, Zhao Wenkang crossed with his feet, Zhang Shujie grabbed the point, but the ball was passed too close to the goal, and Kuwaiti goalkeeper Khalidi knocked the ball out of the penalty area with both fists. Liu Jianhong also said that the ball was passed a little bigger, but he did not forget to say good things for the Chinese players, thinking that it was not long after the game began, and the players had not yet moved.

The ball was still at the feet of the Chinese team's players, Yu Dahai looked up at the front court, and saw that he couldn't pass it, so he gave it to Deng Zhuoxiang, Deng Zhuoxiang controlled the ball a few times, and also looked at the positions of the three forwards, hesitated a little in his heart, and finally gave it to Zhao Wenkang.

Zhao Wenkang took a few steps forward, and Wadliari came up again. The positions of the two are exactly the same, there will be many opportunities for direct dialogue in the game, and Chinese fans are also looking forward to how much the right midfielder, who has been training in the Portuguese Super League for a season and a half, can play in the national team.

The two have already competed once before, but it was Waldley Ali who was not fully prepared, and was played by Zhao Wenkang once, this time Ali stood up, and Zhao Wenkang did not choose to break through, in fact, strong bursts are not his forte, after all, he is not Zhang Shujie nor Li Mu. He is better at taking the ball on the side or changing to cut inside, so this time Zhao Wenkang gave the ball to fullback Chen Fanyu, who was inserted in the back.

The Chinese team only has three midfielders, while Kuwait has five, so the two fullbacks of the Chinese team, including two wingers, will work harder, and they must take turns to support the midfielders, otherwise the Chinese team will suffer in terms of numbers with three to five in this battleground.

Chen Fanyu had already attacked the 20-meter area on the right side of the opponent's penalty area, he didn't look at the penalty area, and crossed directly, but was blocked by Kuwaiti defender Mousa Ednada, and then blocked back to Chen Fanyu's feet.

He wanted to pass it on again, but he heard Zhao Wenkang shouting a little back: "This way." Chen Fanyu glanced at it and passed it over.

Wadeli Ali pasted Zhao Wenkang again, Zhao Wenkang's eyes swept nearby, judging from the surrounding space and the position of the two, Zhao Wenkang can pass the ball back to Chen Fanyu, or he can knock Deng Zhuoxiang horizontally, but ......

Zhao Wenkang made a move to pass the ball to Chen Fanyu, and Ali also moved his position so that he could jam his passing route, but Zhao Wenkang suddenly buckled horizontally, and then flicked his left foot horizontally inward, and opened a gap when he landed.

Zhang Shujie is running. Zhao Wenkang picked up on his toes, the ball was picked to the penalty area, Zhang Shujie turned around and accelerated to start, and shook off the defender Matuk who defended him, at this time the ball just fell in front of him, he did not wait for the ball to land, and shot with his right foot between the penalty spot and the small penalty area line, goalkeeper Halliday hit in time, although Zhang Shujie's shot was powerful, but it had no angle, and was saved by Halliday outside the bottom line.

There was a cry of regret from the stands.
