After playing against Bayern Munich, Zhang Yuan embarked on the journey of Asian Cup qualifying, and this time he will participate in the two matches of the Chinese team against Lebanon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

One was at Beirut, Lebanon's home stadium on November 14, and the other was at the home stadium of the Chinese team in Hangzhou on November 22.

Due to the previous negotiations between Schalke 04 and the Chinese national team, Zhang Yuan was naturally recruited into the team by Coach Gao in these two games.

Zhang Yuan flew directly from Munich to Kuwait, and tomorrow the Chinese team will play a warm-up match in Kuwait, and the opponent is the Kuwait team.

This time with Zhang Yuan is Evelyn, she is not only Zhang Yuan's personal assistant, but also Degan's personal assistant, fortunately, the two of them do not have many personal affairs.

Arrived at the national team, Zhang Yuan lived with captain Zheng Zhi as usual, and Coach Gao did not send Zhang Yuan to play in the game against Kuwait, and he couldn't play, he needed to rest after a long trip.

Chinese fans and media have high hopes for Zhang Yuan's return, but only the person concerned knows that this is not realistic.

On the one hand, Zhang Yuan is not integrated into the team now, he rarely participates in the training of the national team, and there is only one time at present, in this case, Zhang Yuan may not be able to play his own strength.

On the other hand, how to use Zhang Yuan is also a difficult problem for Coach Gao, Zhang Yuan has always appeared in the form of a center forward and winger in the club, but what about the positioning of the national team?

Is it good to rely on Zhang Yuan to build an offensive system?

There is nothing bad about it, but Coach Gao is unwilling, the strong team can rely on the stars, the weak team depends on the whole, the Chinese team is a weak team not a strong team, and Coach Gao's so-called advanced idea is to look forward to passing and controlling football like Barcelona, and he doesn't want everyone to pin their hopes on Zhang Yuan.

It's a pity that it is difficult for the Chinese team to achieve such football, and the team is full of stars, but the Chinese team players do not have such strength.

But the media still has to sing a high note, this is a new wind, we should support it!

Fans are also happy to see such a scene, the Chinese team cooperates with the clouds and water, destroying the withering and decaying opponent to the ground.

So now Coach Gao is still insisting, what position Zhang Yuan returns to play will give him a headache, he hopes that Zhang Yuan can use passing to guide the game, instead of breaking through.

Including the summer training camp and this training camp, Coach Gao quickly found that Zhang Yuan was out of place with the team.

His teammates didn't pass it, his teammates didn't know much about his thoughts, and he broke through a lot of people who just didn't know how to answer or didn't want to respond.

The Chinese team is at least a place to recognize qualifications, and a small point like Zhang Yuan will naturally not cause the echo of the leading big brothers, and this reason is also the reason why Coach Gao did not take Zhang Yuan as the core of the offense, no way!

At the press conference before the match against Lebanon, many reporters asked the same question, "Will Zhang Yuan start?"

"He still needs time to get used to it, and we'll know if he can play tomorrow!" Coach Gao said vaguely.

During the training camp, Evelyn arranged an interview with Zhang Yuan, a well-known media in China, Zhang Yuan repeatedly said in the interview that he was willing to accept the coach's arrangement, and he could play any position, he even joked: "If I need to, I can also play defender!"

No matter what he said, Coach Gao still did not put Zhang Yuan in the starting lineup during the game on the 14th, and he sat on the bench.

The Chinese team is a weak team, and Lebanon is also a weak team, but in their home stadium, they still play more vigorously.

The advantage in possession, the conditions on the field are very poor, the field is very bad, the players of the Chinese team are very unsuitable for this kind of field, the passing error rate on the field is very high, Coach Gao is very anxious on the sidelines, but he has nothing to do.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team took the lead, in the 44th minute, Rong Hao crossed from the left side, the Lebanese defender cleared the ball out of the penalty area at the first point, and Yang Hao got the ball after the top and hoisted it into the penalty area at the second point, Yu Hai scored with a left-footed volley from the goalkeeper in front of the small penalty area, and China led 1-0.

However, there was some controversy about the goal, and the Lebanese players decided that Yu Hai was offside, and they appealed to the manager, but the manager still ruled that the goal was valid.

Whether there was offside or not, Zhang Yuan, who was sitting on the bench, was not too clear, and he couldn't see it.

But after all, China took the lead first, which still made him very happy, the World Cup is no longer played, the Asian Cup is the only big competition, and he wants to participate.

In the second half, Zhang Yuan got a substitute opportunity, and in the 67th minute he replaced the starting center Gao Lin.

I haven't played in such a field for several years, and the condition of the field was even worse than this when I was studying, and after a short period of adaptation, Zhang Yuan was able to perform very freely on such a field.

Of course, his passing accuracy is a little bit lower.

Seeing Zhang Yuan on the field, Lebanon was like a big enemy, and put a lot of energy into him, this is the most threatening striker of the Chinese team, they can't help but do so.

But even so, Zhang Yuan showed a level of genius, and after just two minutes on the field, he got rid of the ball with a beautiful stop and shot from distance, allowing Lebanese goalkeeper Larry to make a wonderful save.

In the 73rd minute, Zhang Yuan pulled to the side, dribbled past two Lebanese defenders in a row, and crossed, causing chaos in front of the Lebanese goal, and Qu Bo, another striker who came on as a substitute, hit the ball into Lebanon's door in this chaos, and the Chinese team led the opponent 2:0.

Coach Gao on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief, this was his first official game after taking over the Chinese team, although the conditions were relatively poor, he still hoped to get three points and get a favorable position in the group stage.

He also has to admit that Zhang Yuan's strength is really high, and he only plays, not to mention the tacit understanding with his teammates, it is not very good, but just relying on his own personal ability can still create a threat to the team and the opponent.

However, Qu Bo's goal was suspected of handball, and not only the Lebanese players protested to the referee on duty, but even the opposing officials also wanted the referee to protest.

There were very few fans at the scene today, only more than 200 fans, and these fans began to loudly insult the referee on duty, who happened to be from the United Arab Emirates, and understood the insults of the fans, so he asked the fans to leave the stadium or the game was suspended.

So the game was inexplicably suspended, and Zhang Yuan and they could only return to the bench and wait.

After a stalemate of about ten minutes, the referee blew the game again, and the rest of the time the Lebanese players were affected by "misjudgment", and the action was very large, and in the case of the victory locked, Zhang Yuan did not dribble the ball frequently, and he was also afraid of injury.

When he came to participate in the national team competition, Magath also specially told him not to get injured during the national team competition and pay attention to protecting himself.

The Chinese team as a whole is like this, Coach Gao commanded the players to do a good job of defense, Lebanon occupied possession in the following time, but they had nothing to do in the face of the intensive defense of the Chinese team, and finally the Chinese team won the game away from Lebanon and scored three points.

Both goals are controversial, but sometimes this is football, and the referee's misjudgment is indispensable, and the head coach of the Chinese team, who won the bargain, said in the post-match press conference that he did not know whether there was a suspicion of foul play, and he chose to believe the referee's decision.

The opposing head coach naturally didn't think so, and the Lebanese side thought the referee was terrible.

However, the result has been like this, it doesn't matter what you say, Zhang Yuan's contribution after coming on the field is obvious, and Coach Gao also affirmed.

He already has a plan in his heart to return to Hangzhou to include Zhang Yuan in the next game, whether he is happy or not, Zhang Yuan's strength is there, and he has also figured out that using Zhang Yuan well is the most important thing, rather than blindly insisting on his own tactical concept.

After playing this game, the Chinese team returned to China, the fans warmly greeted all the members of the Chinese team at the airport, Zhang Yuan's enthusiasm must be the highest, many fans are holding Zhang Yuan's posters, Zhang Yuan and other teammates also stopped to sign for everyone, answer reporters' questions.
