Chapter 165: Sino-Japanese Confrontation

With the international break coming five days later, on October 8, the league had to give way. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The damn international break has hurt a lot of internationals, especially the players who play abroad, and it makes them feel tired back and forth.

The major clubs hate this even more, but on the day set by FIFA, no club can do anything but obediently put the international players in the team back to their own country and play for the country.

The Chinese team also played on this day, against Syria, and the venue of the match was in Kunming. Gao Hongbo is still recalling the four teenagers who played overseas, and he is determined to run in a set of the strongest main lineup and play well in next year's Asian Cup.

It's just that why didn't he summon Xu Ziyi and Yan Tao into the team? You must know that Yan Tao has slowly moved to the position of the main defender in the Eredivisie Vites.

This is the fifth time that Zhang Shujie has played for China, and none of them have scored in the first four games. However, in this game, Zhang Shujie scored his country's first goal.

At that time, the game went to the sixty-ninth minute of the second half, the score was still 1:1, the Chinese team launched a counterattack, Ma Junqiang threw the ball to Li Mu, Li Mu gave the ball to Zhao Wenkang on the right side, at this time the Syrian defenders have not all returned to the defense in place, and the backfield seems a little empty. Zhao Wenkang passed a low flat ball parallel to the line of the penalty area on the right side, Gao Lin did not grab the ball at the front point, but led the only two defenders left on the opponent's back line to his side, and there was no defender around Zhang Shujie at the back point, and he easily pushed the ball into the goal with his right foot.

The score became 2:1! In the Asian Cup qualifiers on January 19 last year, the Chinese team lost to Syria 2:3 away, and in January this year, the Chinese team was forced to draw by Syria at home. In today's victory, the soldiers of the Chinese team finally avenged with one arrow.

After the game, head coach Gao Hongbo said in an interview: "Zhang Shujie played very well, he scored the winning goal, and he was the hero of the victory. It was his first international goal and I'm sure he'll score more in the future. ”

Zhang Shujie knew that Gao Hongbo praised him so much, and said to the media with a smile: "I am very grateful to Director Gao for his trust in me all the time. I did my part to win the team, but it was mainly due to the whole team, and everyone did a great job. I'm very happy to be able to score and I want to thank Zhao Wenkang, he passed the ball so beautifully. ”

On the second day of the tournament, the four overseas players took a flight back to their respective clubs, and the national team competition is important, but so is the league. At the moment they need to maintain this form, then their names will definitely be on the list of the Chinese team for the Asian Cup next year.

It's just that I don't know when Xu Ziyi and Yan Tao, who are in Villarreal and Vidis, will be summoned by Gao Hongbo.

(In the future, all the national team games are only written about important events, and the games of the international break or other friendly matches will no longer be written, here is to take care of the male protagonist and write it out, and in the future, depending on the situation, at most one stroke.) )

On October 19, the Serie A League, which had been suspended for half a month, finally began, and all the national team players also returned to the team for a long time. Parma's opponent in the seventh round is Cesena, a veritable underdog. Marino originally wanted Zhang Shujie and Li Mu to rest for a round, but considering that the team had been winless for three consecutive rounds and was playing away from home, Marino still put them in the starting lineup.

What kind of team is Cesena? Most Chinese fans only know that it is weak, but little is known about how weak it is. Cesena last played in Serie A in 1991, 19 years ago. As the eye of last season's Serie B list, people did not give hope to this team, although Parma also came to Serie A as a leader last summer, but Parma was once one of the "seven sisters", and also cultivated many big-name stars, the so-called skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and there are no stars and honors Ecesena naturally does not make people have too much expectations.

So Cesena's goal this season is relegation, and staying in Serie A is their greatest success. Parma are aiming for European competition, and you can see where the gap between the two teams lies. Marino sent all the main players, and if he couldn't win, it would be difficult for Giraldi to explain, even if it was away.

Parma, who had a full team, challenged Cesena and there was no suspense about the result. Even so, the Chinese media still took the match seriously, and the Japanese media seemed to pay special attention. This is not only because Parma have Zhang Shujie and Li Mu, but also because Cesena has Japanese player Yuto Nagatomo.

For some historical reasons, China and Japan have always had some grievances in various aspects, and this naturally includes football. In the 80s of the last century, Japanese football was not a little worse than China, but from the 90s to the 90s, Japanese football has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the ability and technical and tactical level of players have increased day by day.

Over the past two decades, Japan has focused on the development of youth football, especially the school high school football league, which has been a major factor in the success of Japanese football. China only looked at the development of high school leagues after 2004, and although China's high school leagues have a long history, they have paid attention to it many years later than Japan.

After the success of stars such as Hidetoshi Nakata and Shunsuke Nakamura in Europe, China has also produced young players such as Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, and Yan Tao, but compared with Shunsuke Nakamura and others, it is still a little worse.

Nowadays, Hidetoshi Nakata and Shunsuke Nakamura have gradually faded out of people's field of vision, but with the successive landing of players such as Yuto Nagatomo, Shinji Kagawa, and Keisuke Honda in Europe, the "European Army" of Japanese football is stronger than in previous years. Among them, Shinji Kagawa is at the Bundesliga giants Dodmund, and has already won the main position! His performance is no less than that of Parma's two Chinese teenagers.

Due to the presence of three Asian players, the Chinese and Japanese media have positioned the match as an "Asian derby", with journalists from both countries supporting their compatriots in East Asia, thousands of miles away from Italy.

Marino doesn't care about this, and it has nothing to do with him no matter how the media sputters. He has issued a military order to the team members, this battle is only allowed to win, not to lose!

Zhang Shujie and Li Mu are already full of strength. They have long known that this summer Japanese player Nagatomo Yu has come to Serie A promotion, and today the two sides met in a narrow way, how to be worthy of the friendship between neighboring countries if they are not well entertained!

"Papaya, is he Yuto Nagatomo?" On the player tunnel, Zhang Shujie pointed to an Asian-faced player in Cesena and asked Li Mu.

Li Mu glanced at it and said, "It should be." I didn't know him very well, but I saw him once in the newspaper. ”

"I think he's a bit lewd......"

"How do I think a lot of Japanese people are ...... like this?"

"You must have watched too much, and the male protagonist in it is really obscene. ”

"You seem to have a lot of experience?"

"You're going to die for me! Seriously, that Nagayouyou isn't as handsome as me, haha. ”

Li Mu couldn't help laughing: "If you look even uglier than him, Wang Shihan will be blind." ”

"Papaya, you kid ......"

"Eh, don't say it, don't say it, it's time to play. ”

The referee on duty and two linesmen walked into the pitch with the players of both teams. Although Cesena is a small club, their home stadium, the Dino Marzinu Stadium, is quite large, with a maximum capacity of more than 23,000 people. The stadium was packed with people, almost all of them Cesena fans.

However, Cesena is indeed very weak, and was suppressed by Parma in their own half for the first ten minutes, leaving only one center forward in front of Bodani, and the rest of the team is basically on defense.

The position of Yuto Nagatomo is the left back, which corresponds to the position of Zhang Shujie, and the direct dialogue between the two must be indispensable. In these ten minutes, the two fought one-on-one twice, the first time Zhang Shujie passed the Japanese player and formed a goal, but the second time the ball was broken.

Cesena didn't get much chance to attack, and Parma went on the attack. Marino watched the performance of the players from the sidelines, with a relaxed face, just like this, keep attacking, Cesena will lose the ball sooner or later.

Twenty minutes into the game, Parma had four shots on goal, including two from Zhang Shujie, one from Li Mu and one from Bodinov. Cesena struggled to even get past half of the pitch, let alone shoot.

In the 26th minute, Zhang Shujie and Nagatomo Youdu fought for the third time, he controlled the ball and cautiously approached the penalty area, while Nagatomo Youdu bent over and retreated with Zhang Shujie. No matter what feints the Chinese striker made at his feet, Nagatomo Yu was always unmoved.

When approaching the big penalty area, Zhang Shujie saw that Qiao Wenke was answering on the left side, and wanted to pass the ball out, but Nagatomo Yudu saw his intentions, immediately shifted the center of gravity of his body, and stretched out his legs to block the ball. In an instant, Zhang Shujie's left foot suddenly buckled inward, and an acceleration burst into the penalty area from Nagatomo Yudu. The Japanese realized that they had been fooled, but it was too late, and Zhang Shujie had already broken through his defenses.

In a hurry, Nagatomo Youdu reached out and pulled Zhang Shujie, because he was in the restricted area, he didn't dare to move too much, he pulled Zhang Shujie's clothes and quickly let go, the purpose of this was to reduce the speed of Zhang Shujie's breakthrough, but Nagatomo Yudu didn't seem to know how explosive the Chinese striker was.

This pull had no effect on Zhang Shujie, he wanted to shoot, but seeing that the angle was too small, Li Mu was already raising his hand to ask for the ball, he picked it up at his feet, and the ball flew over the heads of five or six people and came to the top of Li Mu's head.

Li Mu jumped up, flicked his head, and the ball smashed on goalkeeper Antonioli and rebounded back into the penalty area. Suddenly there was a mess in front of Cesena, and Antonioli ran to the ball in a panic, stretched out his arms, and tried to hold the ball down.

Before he could touch the ball, he saw a foot come out of the chaos and kick the ball towards the goal. Antonioli didn't touch the ball, but he held the foot.

Looking back, the ball was lying in the goal.

Giovinco pulled his foot out of Antonioli's hand and ran on the sidelines with open arms, running until the corner flag came to a halt. Behind him, Zhang Shujie, Li Mu and other teammates stepped forward one after another to celebrate the goal with him.

This goal was created by Zhang Shujie after breaking through Yuto Nagatomo, and the Japanese failed to defend him, allowing him to indirectly help his teammates score.

Now the score is 1:0! The scorer is Giovinco, and the goal is scored in the 27th minute of the first half. Marino had a smile on his face and exchanged a few words with Manzo beside him, judging from their expressions, he was not very nervous, Parma was all present, and Cesena was still difficult to threaten them.

Cesena coach Ficadenti, on the other hand, had the opposite expression. Cesena won only one of the first seven rounds, ranking second to last and being the "vice-captain" of the league. If you still lose in this round, the team will be promoted to the "squad leader" of Serie A. Ficadenti wants his team to try to hold on to the draw first and then see if there is a chance to score, a style of play similar to Parma's face against AC Milan in the last round. In fact, a weak team plays a strong team, and most coaches think so.

Nagatomo Yudu looked at Zhang Shujie who walked back to the half, this season, this young striker from China is very energetic, he has scored four goals in the first six games, Nagatomo Yudu has naturally heard of him, and he wanted to restrain him in this game, but he lost twice after three encounters.

Why have we never seen such a strong figure exist in China before? Chinese football gives people the impression that it is like a pile of mud that will never be glued to the wall. This Zhang Shujie and that Li Mu, what is the origin of these two people?

Nagasomo didn't think about it carefully, he just thought about finding a way to stare Zhang Shujie in the next game.
