Chapter 241: Promotion
Fortunately, in order to prepare for the World Preliminaries, the Chinese team had a week of training together, and from the effect, it seems to be not bad. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are many reasons for the poor record of the Chinese team, one of the most important ones can be said to be the damage of the ball-control type of play, no diamond diamond does not do porcelain work, the level of the Chinese team players is like that, and it is not possible to forcibly apply the ball control kick method, but I don't know from what era, the Chinese team claims to be in line with the world's advanced standards, and then it is like this for several consecutive terms, and I want to start from ball control.
Therefore, it can often be seen as if the Chinese team has the advantage and can never score, and the fans and players sometimes put their posture higher, and the results are often not ideal.
It's the same with Camacho's national team now, the training looks good, but the actual results are still to be tested.
On February 22, Zhang Yuan had just returned to China and participated in a friendly match, in which the Chinese team defeated the Middle Eastern team Kuwait 2-0.
Even if it is a friendly match, the enthusiasm of the fans is also high, although the Chinese team is a battle of life and death, but the situation is not very bad, the conditions are better than Iraq, as long as it does not lose to Jordan.
But the team can't play the game with a flat attitude at the beginning, the leaders of the Football Association made a special trip to hold a mobilization meeting for everyone, so close to the top ten, the long and cumbersome talk in the past is not so bad in Zhang Yuan's ears, the speech is mainly the appetite of the audience, although the Football Association is still talking about winning glory for the country, but Zhang Yuan, like many teammates, has a real feeling, this time is really different.
Presumably the mentality of the national football team in 2002 is also very similar to now! Zhang Yuan thought.
After Zhang Yuan returned to China, Juventus first played a Coppa Italia match with Roma in midweek, Zhang Yuan no longer said as Conte said that Juventus still has many alternatives, they won Roma 3:0 at home and successfully advanced to the next round of the game.
There is a lot of interest in Italy about the big battle between Juventus and AC Milan, as this game can be said to determine the title of the season, if AC Milan win, then they will overtake Juventus to the top of the table, and Juventus will eat their first defeat of the season if they lose.
AC Milan lost humiliating at Juventus in the first half of the season, and this time they will have to take revenge on everything.
The leading scorer Ibrahimovic aimed at Zhang Yuan, and when he learned that Zhang Yuan was going to return to China to participate in the very important World Cup qualifiers, Ibrahimovic called Zhang Yuan and shouted regret, saying that he wanted to give Zhang Yuan a little color to see.
Ibrahimovic's mood is understandable, many years ago he was the top striker in Serie A, but this year this direction has changed, Zhang Yuan returned to Serie A after playing a level rarely seen in many years, under the tutelage of Conte, he has improved rapidly, how many rounds of the league have been played, he has completed 24 goals.
Such a Zhang Yuan made Ibrahimovic feel that Serie A was not so lonely, but looking at his goal count, Ibrahimovic was still a little unhappy, and making a phone call was nothing more than pretending.
"Don't regret it, if I really have me, I will make you ugly! You should be glad!" Zhang Yuan responded to Ibrahimovic with a smile, making the other party half angry!
Ibrahimovic was also unlucky, he thought he could make a difference in this fight, but he unfortunately injured himself in training and like Zhang Yuan, he still couldn't participate in this game.
Zhang Yuan then called to comfort him: "You can be a spectator like me! Anyway, you will lose, if you don't play, at least you can make some excuses for AC Milan, right?!"
Is this a consolation?! Ibrahimovic hung up Zhang Yuan's phone directly.
On the evening of the 25th, AC Milan's revenge battle started at the San Siro Stadium, Zhang Yuan no longer played a 352 formation as Conte had predicted, while Allegri was still 442.
AC Milan were obviously in much better shape in this game than in the previous leg, Juventus and AC Milan fought hard, and finally the game drew 1:1, but AC Milan lost very unjustly, because Muntari's shot had crossed the goal line, but was quickly fished out by Buffon.
The referee on duty, Tagliavento, and his assistants were unresponsive, and Juventus got lucky enough to get a point back from the San Siro.
It was a very controversial affair that caused a lot of controversy after the game, and it can be said that fans all over the world were concerned about this serious miscalculation, and Buffon was really honest, just after the game he said frankly: "I knew the ball was in the net, but I didn't say it!
China's domestic sports media made the national team and the incident a key piece of news, and Zhang Yuan was rightfully asked about it at his pre-match press conference against Jordan.
"As I said before, don't ask me about the club, our national team is going to play a very important game now!"
But this is not good, there is still an endless stream of people asking him for his opinion, who made you a Juventus player, who made you the number one star?!
"Well, I didn't watch this game!" Zhang Yuan really didn't watch this game, it was so late in China, he had to train the next day, he had to get enough sleep, so he didn't watch this game.
"I watched the highlights after the game, and Gigi admitted that he deliberately fished out the ball! After the game, he also gave his own reasons! My opinion is that I support him, and I will do the same! For example, if there is such a situation in the national team game, I will do it unceremoniously! There is a referee in the game, and the problem is not Gigi but the referee! They did not make the right choice, the game pursues fairness, but there will be many controversial points in every game, but this time the controversy is more direct!" Zhang Yuan expressed his opinion, which relieved the reporters.
Gianluigi Buffon was not the first to do so, as Uruguay's Luis Suarez also deliberately handballed Ghana's goal at the World Cup in South Africa.
If you want to talk about morality, don't play football, because fouls are immoral!
Of course, these two things are not the same situation, and Zhang Yuan just expressed his opinion.
In view of the fact that Buffon was greatly despised, Zhang Yuan sent a text message to Buffon the day after the game, with the content of "Well done!
Zhang Yuan is not the only one who supports Buffon, there is no one in the Juventus team who does not top him, they all think that he has done a good job, although Buffon has been condemned in conscience, but this is also impossible to be forced, he does not want Juventus to lose.
Recently, Juventus's overall state is not very good, and the top scorer Zhang Yuan is no longer there, this is a battle between the champion and the leader, which is likely to determine the trend of the two teams, so Buffon is also splashing his reputation and not wanting to fight for Juventus's interests, of course, but also relying on the referee's help.
AC Milan was aggrieved up and down, but there was no way to do this, and they could only break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.
Zhang Yuan returned to the reporter's question and sent a text message to comfort Buffon, that's all, for him this game is over, he concentrates on following the national team to prepare for the Jordan game.
On February 29th, the Guangzhou University Town Sports Center was crowded, the Chinese team played the game against the Jordan team here, Zhang Yuan was the starting center as usual, Camacho took the 4231 formation, obviously inclined to attack, he also knew that the idea of keeping the flat was not correct, the Chinese team should use the advantage of the home field to launch a fierce attack on Jordan, and it was best to score first.
The pressure on the Jordanian team is much lighter, and since the Chinese team occupies the tone of the attack, the Jordanian team naturally plays against the Chinese team easily.
However, the passing and cutting cooperation of the two teams is really not good, Zhang Yuan is a center forward, and there is less retreat, and the two sides really can't do it for a while and a half.
But in the second half, the situation on the field changed, and in the 55th minute, a less accurate cross from the side of the Chinese team was mistakenly blocked by the Jordanian defender in front of Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan volleyed and took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field.
The Chinese team at home led the opponent 1:0, after this goal, the Chinese team played more and more smoothly, after all, there is now a goal guarantee, the heart is a lot more relaxed, everyone also played more freely, in the 67th minute, 76 minutes of the Chinese team and Zhang Yuan, Gao Jun scored two goals in a row to completely lock the victory, and the Jordan team only pulled back a point at the last moment.
At the end of the game, the Chinese team successfully advanced to the top 10, and they also suppressed Jordan to rank first in the group by virtue of goal difference.
