Chapter 565: Asian Cup (2)
"What is the goal of the Chinese team in this Asian Cup?!! to qualify from the group?!to reach the quarterfinals or semi-finals or to win the championship?!!" another Saudi reporter asked.
"Our goal is to play every game well and go as far as possible in this tournament!" Perrin learned quite quickly, and quickly learned to play haha and fumbled.
asked Peilan, Peilan haha, the reporters turned their eyes to Zhang Yuan, who was watching the excitement on the side.
"Mr. Perrin has made it very clear that we are playing with a learning attitude, we just want to play at a high level and in style, we can go as far as we can, and if we can win the championship, it will be great!" Zhang Yuan said in Mandarin.
The reporters below complained again and again, which is exactly the same as what Perrin said, the same as not saying anything.
The Chinese Football Association's expectations for this tournament are the same as the fans, the goal is very high, hoping to win the championship, but Perrin doesn't want to amplify the words so early, and Zhang Yuan doesn't want to work against Perrin at the press conference, with Perrin only, his inner goal is to hope that the team can win the championship, but it's not easy to say, Australia took a nap in the World Cup qualifiers, and was taken away by the Chinese team in the chaos。
His family knows his own affairs, and the Chinese team is still a football weaker, but on the stage of the Asian Cup, Zhang Yuan believes that if he adds a little luck, his performance will be a little more perfect, and the championship is not unexpected!
The reporters asked a lot, about Peilan's tactics, etc., the use of Zhang Yuan, etc., these questions Peilan is not true, he doesn't want to discuss the team's tactics too much, the Chinese team is no stranger to Asian opponents, but he is a new official, and the opponent may not be able to figure out his way, and it is necessary to maintain a sense of mystery.
Hearing reporters ask tactical questions, Zhang Yuan felt a little uncomfortable, Peilan, the coach, communicated with him many times, Zhang Yuan could see that for the fact that the Chinese team was weak, Peilan was very sober and conservative, he hoped that the team would establish a set of tactics with defensive counterattack as the main strategy, which made Zhang Yuan a little unacceptable, he couldn't find the reason, but he just felt that such an idea was not good.
If he takes a closer look at Perran, he will find the most fundamental thing, Perrin is called inaccurate, the Chinese team is a team that has been to the World Cup, and has played against the world-class teams Netherlands and Spain, basically playing the routine of defensive counterattack.
Pei Lan naturally thinks that this strategy is very good, he knows Asian football very well, but in terms of team tactical construction, he does not look at the situation of Asian football, but benchmarks against the world's first-class teams, and insists on the tactics of defense and counterattack.
Zhang Yuan clearly put forward his opinions to Peilan, thinking that the Chinese team should sometimes be proactive, but Peilan still means to insist on his own views.
The next day was Zhang Yuan's first appearance in the training of the Chinese team, Peilan was very serious and hard-working, the Chinese team since the World Cup, there was also time for training, but Zhang Yuan almost didn't participate, he was in a foreign league when he couldn't train at all, and there was no way to go back.
"Captain, is it useful to the fuck to always defend?!" Gao Jun said to Zhang Yuan with a little dissatisfaction.
"Brother Jun, I also made suggestions to him, but he didn't take them, now we can only follow his arrangement and obey his command, I hope it can have a positive effect!" Zhang Yuan said to Gao Jun without hesitation.
Gao Jun is not a newcomer to the national team, in fact, there is an atmosphere in the national team now, that is, the dissatisfaction of paying more guidance to get out of class, everyone privately thinks that Fu Gui is really more wronged than Dou E, and should not be swayed by the media and get out of class, just because he agrees with the former head coach, so many players are not satisfied with Peilan's tactical arrangement, but no one dares to stumble in private, they obviously hope that Zhang Yuan can take the lead.
How could Zhang Yuan go to the task of setting up the head coach again?! Camacho is purely making people angry, and Perrin you can't say that his thinking is incorrect, there is no obvious right or wrong in tactical thinking, winning is the last word, when he was overthrowing Camacho, wasn't it a last resort, plus Zhang Yuan himself is young and vigorous.
"Brother Jun, tell everyone to be honest, I believe in Mr. Peilan, I hope you can also believe that according to his thinking, we may not suffer!" Zhang Yuan finally added, this is no longer the hope just now but to believe in Peilan.
Gao Jun had to nod and agree, he could see that Zhang Yuan might know what everyone meant, and he didn't want to take the lead in opposing the head coach's arrangement, they naturally didn't dare, the Football Association would not ban Zhang Yuan, but they would definitely ban them, so why bother!
The other teams in the Asian Cup will not be careless because the first meeting of the Chinese team in Australia will be low-key.
Many teams have bluntly said that the Chinese team will be the favorite to win the Cup, many media in Asia have also followed suit, when the Asian Cup qualifiers, Zhang Yuan actually only played two games, and then he was injured and missed for several months, the Asian Cup qualifiers are basically relying on the efforts of his teammates to qualify, and now the media exclaim that the Chinese team was quite strong before, and now Zhang Yuan is going to return, which is not going against the sky.
The Chinese team has four teams: China, Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia, and North Korea, and if you think about it carefully, in fact, this group is very dangerous, Saudi Arabia is a traditional powerhouse, and Uzbekistan is a strong team in Central Asia.
It is not easy for the Chinese team to qualify, but these teams just took the wrong medicine, and before the game, they said that the Chinese team is of course the favorite to qualify, the championship favorite, and we are all playing soy sauce!
There is a saying in China that kills, what is this not killing?!
"Look at these cowards! Gao Li stick said something like this?!" Gao Jun smiled and showed his phone to Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan looked at it, to the effect that the North Korean team had not yet played against the Chinese team, so he said that the Chinese team was the favorite to win the championship, and put the North Korean team in a weak position early.
Look at Gao Jun, think about the relaxed and happy teammates, and then look at such reports, Zhang Yuan suddenly absolutely Peilan's stable defensive counterattack is not necessarily a bad idea, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, I can't imagine that everyone has a high vision of playing a World Cup, and they have a lot of thoughts in their hearts.
The first opponent of the Chinese team, Saudi Arabia, a traditional strong team in West Asia, has played against the Chinese team and is familiar with each other.
It was summer in Australia in January, but Brisbane was a city close to the sea, and the temperature on January 10 happened to be just over 20 points, which was just right for playing football, and the game was scheduled for the afternoon.
Saudi Arabia is slightly inferior to the strength of the Chinese team, but because such a cup match can decide the fate of one game, both sides played very cautiously after the start of the game and did not dare to attack.
The head coach of the Saudi Arabian team obviously mispredicted the Chinese team, he did not expect that the Chinese team with the World Footballer on the opposite side would be so conservative, and he would not be able to press the attack aggressively, he had adopted a more conservative strategy, and as a result, the two teams played ugly in the first half, and the focus of the competition was concentrated in the midfield, and no good chances were created.
Zhang Yuan's performance also feels average!
At halftime, in the face of some impetuous Chinese players, Perrin repeatedly emphasized that we must not be in a hurry, we must not be in a hurry, we must take our time, there are still 45 minutes in the game, and we will definitely be able to seize the opportunity for the opponent to make mistakes.
However, the impatient Chinese players did not listen to them, and Zhang Yuan also expressed a deep doubt about Perran's tactics.
At the beginning of the second half, Saudi Arabia also adjusted its tactics and began to strengthen its attack, and the Chinese team also spontaneously began to move forward spontaneously.
