Chapter 148: Home Victory

Of course, the reporters are most concerned about Zhang Yuan's feelings in the national team, and of course they have to look forward to the future, because on the 22nd, the Chinese team will host Lebanon in Hangzhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I feel good, we played well in the last game, and the most important thing is to get the three points! I am basically satisfied with my performance, but there are still many things I need to learn and improve! In the next game, we will do our best and hopefully get the three points. ”

At present, the national team is 2 wins and 1 loss and 6 points are second, the first place is Syria, and there are also Vietnam and Lebanon in the same group, and the home game against Lebanon can be said to be impossible to lose.

Zhang Yuan answered modestly when facing reporters, but the officials of the Football Association were quite high-profile, demanding that the national team must fight to the death to get these three points.

On the night before the game, hehe, as usual, it was a mobilization meeting, Zhang Yuan listened drowsy as usual, in his opinion, there is no need for such a tirade mobilization, as a national football player, every game will do his best, this is the responsibility.

Also before the game, Coach Gao told Zhang Yuan that Zhang Yuan would be arranged to start in this game, and he hoped that Zhang Yuan could give full play to his advantages and open a breakthrough for the Chinese team.

"Coach Gao, thank you for your trust, I will definitely work hard in the game!" Zhang Yuan assured the coach.

He is still very happy in his heart, he is very eager to play in the starter, he also very much hopes that he can score goals, can help the national team, he has no special opinion on where the national team goes, because he also knows that in any case, the national team is a weak team, and it is not enough to rely on himself.

Since Zhang Yuan appeared, his friends inevitably came to cheer, most of his friends are not so cold to the national team, like Qian Huan, Gu Lin, etc., hehe, they have all been "injured" before!

In recent years, they have been even more disappointed and don't care much about the national team, but with Zhang Yuan, it is naturally different, they will come if they don't want to see Zhang Yuan for anything else.

Gu Lin even ignored his long distance, and invited a few former high school classmates to come over to watch the game and cheer for Zhang Yuan.

On November 22, Hangzhou Huanglong Sports Center, there were a lot of Chinese fans at the scene, of course, the number of people is not worth mentioning compared with Schalke 04's home stadium, after all, the appearance of the national team in the past two years has made many fans heartbroken, and the attention has decreased a lot.

However, most of the people who can appear here are hardcore, no matter how bad they are, they have always supported the Chinese team.

Today, Zhang Yuan and Gao Lin partnered in the front line, Zhang Yuan played a position similar to that of the second striker, and Coach Gao's formation arranged 442 parallel positions.

Such a formation is the most suitable for Zhang Yuan, he was very active after the opening, and the national team firmly controlled the situation on the field.

Lebanon is also very pragmatic, at the home of the Chinese team, they were weaker than their opponents, and they will no longer take the initiative like the home team, but firmly play a defensive counterattack.

In less than 20 minutes of the opening game, Zhang Yuan sent 3 threatening passes and completed 2 shots, although he failed to knock on the opponent's door, but the players on the Lebanese field were deeply touched, this Nima just can't prevent it.

Lebanese No. 5, who forced Zhang Yuan closely, was tortured by Zhang Yuan to the point of pain, because Zhang Yuan was too flexible for him, his ability to pass the ball was also very strong, and his body was strong, and he had not won even a single confrontation.

Zhang Yuan himself seems to regard himself as the core, when to pass, when to pass the ball all rely on his own judgment, when Lebanon is tight, he will attract the defense, and then pass.

After playing for a while, he began to take the initiative to beckon his teammates to follow the run, and was silent on the field because of his age.

The teammates who played today gave him face, maybe at home, everyone wanted to win this game, and the running was relatively positive.

In the 32nd minute, Zhang Yuan and midfielder Gao Jun made a wonderful two-over-one cooperation, Zhang Yuan passed back to Gao Jun, Gao Jun understood how to pass an overhead ball, Zhang Yuan shook off the opponent's defenders, successfully countered offside, faced the Lebanese goalkeeper, calmly pushed the far corner, and took the lead for the Chinese team, 1:0.

After scoring the goal, Zhang Yuan was very excited, pointing to Gao Jun, who assisted him, and the two rushed to the sidelines to celebrate together, and their teammates came over to congratulate Zhang Yuan.

The fans at the scene sang and danced, and Zhang Yuan, who had high hopes, finally lived up to everyone and took the lead for the team.

"The captain is too ***!" The high school classmates invited by Gu Lin include Sheringham, Sheringham is also in college now, playing football is already an amateur activity, and his professional dream has gradually faded away, but he has always admired Zhang Yuan very much.

"That's oh, just kidding, don't be in the Bundesliga for a few years, scored more than 20 goals last season, you think he eats dry food!" Tian Wencai next to him said disdainfully, silently thinking in his heart that you know a ball!

The coach of the Chinese team, Coach Gao, applauded his disciples on the sidelines, the strength is just no way, a simple two-by-one, using the slightest negligence of the opponent's defense line to seize the opportunity, this is the top striker Zhang Yuan.

Coach Gao once again examined the team building ideas he insisted on, maybe there is nothing wrong with relying on Zhang Yuan to play!

After the goal, the Chinese team still did not relax, and continued to maintain the pressure on Lebanon, their goalkeeper was really noisy, shaky, and could concede a second goal at any time.

But just when the fans were looking forward to the next goal, in the 39th minute, Zhang Yuan broke through with the ball and was hit by the opponent's No. 5, Zhang Yuan lost his balance and fell to the ground, with a sprained foot.

Zhang Yuan's physique is relatively good, Schalke 04 often has injuries in the team, he has rarely entered the injury list in the past two seasons, and injuries are also minor injuries, which is unavoidable.

Zhang Yuan felt a little pain in his ankle, and the opponent rushed just now, causing him to lose his balance with the ball, stumble and sprain.

The team doctor on the Chinese team's side went on the field to check and deal with it, but Zhang Yuan still felt a little painful when he stood up.

Coach Gao's face was embarrassed, he didn't expect Zhang Yuan to be injured so soon, the opponent's No. 5 was too hateful, and he was probably annoyed and angry when he was played by Zhang Yuan, so he maliciously collided, and the referee gave a yellow card and handed the Chinese team a frontcourt arbitrary, but the Chinese team lost one of the sharpest knives.

There was no way, Coach Gao could only make substitution adjustments and replace Zhang Yuan with Qu Bo, and Zhang Yuan limped back to the bench.

The applause at the scene was mixed with boos, and the applause was naturally given to Zhang Yuan, although he was quite unlucky to be injured, but he scored a goal for China, and under Zhang Yuan's threading of the needle, the Chinese team, which was not tacit, also frequently created killing opportunities.

"The No. 5 who belongs to his son, Lao Tzu just wants to dig him and bury him!" Sheringham scolded with a red face.

Gu Lin had a gloomy face, but he was very worried about Zhang Yuan's injury, he communicated with Zhang Yuan a lot, and naturally knew how terrible the injury was to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan returned to the bench, and his teammates around him comforted him, and even Coach Gao came back to comfort him.

The team's medical ice pack applied a cold compress to Zhang Yuan's ankle, and the specific injury may not be known until he goes to the hospital.

Zhang Yuan didn't think about that for the time being, he is now very concerned about whether the Chinese team can finally win a victory after he is gone?!

In the first half, China led the opponent 1-0, and after the start of the second half, China continued to maintain the advantage of possession, but that was all they were, and the pass-and-control football under the guidance of Coach Gao appeared.

However, it is useless, under the dense defense of the opponent, it is undoubtedly difficult for them to do a small range of delicate cooperation at the front of the penalty area, Zhang Yuan's biggest role on the field is that he can control the ball, can attract the defense, can pull the opponent's defense line through dribbling, so that teammates can get space to receive the ball, and complete the cooperation.

But the players on the field do not have the ability of Zhang Yuan, and the so-called passing control is really just a passing control, and it is difficult to create any substantial threat.

After more than 70 minutes, Lebanon could not sit back and watch the defeat, and began to adjust its tactics, moving forward in formation and attacking with force, which gave the Chinese team a chance, but the forwards were not strong in their ability to seize the opportunity, and they still could not lock the victory.

Coach Gao was very anxious on the sidelines, and at this time he was even more determined to take Zhang Yuan as the main idea, sometimes it is better to be practical, and it is like this to play a weak team, and it is definitely not possible to play a strong team.

However, fortunately, the overall level of Lebanon is not high, and the absence of the number one star Antar still has a great impact on them, and in the end they failed to equalize no matter how hard they tried, and the Chinese team won the home game without danger. (To be continued.) )
