398 is incredible
After two days of intensive training, the Chinese team's training was closed to the public, and then in the training base, the national team played two teaching matches with a local Chinese A team. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the first of these two teaching games, Chen Long started the game and was replaced in the first half.
The second came off the bench in the second half and also played half-time.
Because the teaching game was not open to the public, there was no media present, and there were no spectators in the stands, only the coach of the coaching staff set up a DV there to film the game and use it for video analysis.
Chen Long's ability is more vividly reflected in the competition than in training. Because there are a lot of situations in the game that are impossible to predict in training.
And Chen Long's handling of this situation can really only be convincing - he is dealing with it as if he is an experienced veteran, which is in stark contrast to his age and appearance.
The other internationals of the national team are really unconvinced.
Because of the same situation, they didn't handle it as calmly as Long Chen.
They are also playing in their respective clubs, and they are even the main players, and they have a lot of game experience. But when it comes to the game, it doesn't feel right.
"Experience" may sound a bit mysterious, but to put it bluntly, it is actually "the accumulation of methods". When you have encountered a situation enough times and have enough ways to deal with it, you will be confident when you encounter this situation again, and you will not be in a hurry.
Experienced people are people who have experienced many situations in their lives, and they have enough ways to deal with each situation, so they will naturally appear calm.
The same is true on the pitch.
Chen Long feels like a "veteran" who has played in the professional league for many years, which is completely different from his resume of actually playing only four professional league games.
This is also what makes a lot of people feel strange.
In the end, they can only attribute it to the fact that some people are talented, and ordinary people need to rely on countless repetitions to accumulate experience, but such geniuses can be completely self-taught, which is simply ...... Have innate knowledge.
These qualities that Chen Long embodied in the game were also deeply experienced by the members of the coaching staff who watched the game off the field.
"At first, I thought that he was selected for the national team for the first time, and it should be a little jerky to cooperate with these players, and it will not be very tacit. There are bound to be a lot of passing errors in the early days. I didn't expect ......" In the coach's seat, assistant coach Davic looked at Chen Long, who was handling the ball on the court, and sighed. "He doesn't have that strangeness at all, and he works well with this team!"
Cannavaro smiled slightly: "I have heard a 'legend' about Chen Long - it says that he is no matter what team he is in, whether it is Cesena or the Milan first team. He settled into the team very, very quickly. His first training session was always a no-brainer. Remember his first training session when he arrived? ”
Duvic nodded.
"It doesn't feel like a first-time player for the national team, does it?"
Davic thought about it carefully, then nodded: "It's really ......"
"I don't understand why, but he seems to fit into the team. Pretty good. ”
"Well, and looking at his performance in the game, it's hard to believe he's only seventeen," Duvic sighed with a nod.
"Indeed, he looks experienced. Actually, that's what I like. If you want to say how outstanding his technical ability is, there is actually none. Cannavaro said. But the feeling he feels when he's on the pitch makes me feel good. You can see how easily he connected the team, using seemingly ordinary passes, catches and runs to complete it. When you're faced with a cloud of ropes that are entangled with each other and have no clue. Do you feel a headache? ”
"I feel that every time I see the cable in my bag." Duvic frowned.
Cannavaro smiled: "But Long Chen can always easily straighten out that mess." He seems to know what is useful and what is invalid. Know what to do first, what to do later, and then what to do by the way......"
Listening to Cannavaro say so much, Davic could tell: "You like that kid a lot." ”
Cannavaro smiled shyly: "Davic, our team has always lacked a real playmaker. Although Xu Xin plays in the forward position, his technical characteristics are not suitable for being a playmaker, he is more like a full-back, and he himself prefers to move on the wing. And Chen Long. Actually, it's the guy we've been looking for. I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to play him so soon, but I'm sure now. ”
In the hotel restaurant, Chen Long and his roommate Chang Feiya, who lived in the same room, were talking and laughing and preparing to eat, but when they passed by the coach's table. He was stopped by assistant coach Davic.
Chen Long had no choice but to let Chang Feiya go first, and he stayed.
"What's the matter, Coach?" He asked Fu Bai.
Davic asked Zhou Yi: "Long Chen, let me ask you, do you want to participate in the next Asian Cup qualifiers against Jordan?" ”
Chen Long asked the assistant coach this question: "Of course I want to." ”
"Well, but if I'm not mistaken. Milan's first league game after the international break is on 17 September while we play Jordan on 19 September. If you're going to play this game, you won't be able to play in Milan's first game after the international break and you'll miss the team's training camp. ”
Chen Long really didn't think about it, but he didn't think it was a problem, so he said to Davic: "I still want to play against Jordan." I know the leader said he was going to finish first in the group, and if we lose to Jordan, we're going to be second in the group, right? ”
Davic said: "A draw would have been possible. Then you can think about it. We will communicate with the Milan club and generally speaking, they will release people, after all, this is an official national team match. But there are exceptions because of your recent importance in Milan......"
'If necessary, I will intercede with Mourinho personally.' Chen Long said.
Seeing that Chen Long made a statement, Davic also breathed a sigh of relief.
He is hoping that Chen Long will be able to play against Jordan. After all, judging from Chen Long's current performance, his existence has increased the strength of the national team.
However, there will be a dilemma between the national team and the club for foreign players, after all, Europe and China are too far apart.
Some foreign players are in no state in the frequent back and forth, and the main position of the club is squeezed out.
He was worried that Chen Long would also have this consideration. Of course, he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and with Chen Long's current status in Milan, this situation could not happen to Chen Long at all.
As a result, he didn't expect Chen Long to be very simple.
Of course, he didn't know how important it was for Chen Long to represent the national team in his heart.
The two tutorial matches against local clubs were not broadcast to the public. So the warm-up match for the Chinese team against Israel in Yiwu became the first game that Chen Long is likely to appear in public.
Naturally, this game is in the spotlight.
Everyone thought that in the warm-up match against Israel, Cannavaro would let Chen Long start. At the pre-match press conference, the most frequently asked question by reporters was whether Chen Long would start.
And Cannavaro gave an answer that disappointed fans across the country: "No, he won't start." He's just coming to this team and he still needs to know and get acquainted with it. ”
"Will he play, then?"
"I can't guarantee that. I'll decide if I want to play him or not depending on the game. ”
Cannavaro answered the question with no expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he wanted Chen Long to play or not......
But in any case, Chen Long's first trip to the national team was born during the coach's tenure, but there is no doubt about it.
In the warm-up match with Israel, Chen Long really sat on the bench. During the telecast, he was given several close-ups of him on the bench.
Chen Long's expression in the camera did not change much, and he just watched the game intently.
"Hmm...... Worthy of my son! Chen Tao, who saw this scene in front of the TV, nodded approvingly. Hold your breath! Like him! ”
Liu Xin rolled her eyes at Chen Tao, who was selling and boasting.
The televised broadcast also cut a close-up of a big-nosed and bearded foreigner in the stands.
Commentator Zhang Bin said: "The head coach of the Jordanian team also appeared in the stands during this game. Looks like he's here to check on our players. Speaking of which, Cannavaro didn't let Chen Long start, maybe in order not to expose it too early? ”
After a while, Zhang Bin may have felt that there was a problem, and added: "But he personally admitted at the press conference that Chen Long and the team still need to know and familiarize, and familiarity and understanding are not carried out on the bench, right?" If Chen Long is not given time to play, how can he and the team enhance their understanding and cooperation with each other? ”
Of course, after careful analysis, Zhang Bin's statement is still very problematic, because for the current national team, even though Chen Long is very good, he is not a "thigh", not to mention that the team they are facing is the Jordanian team, and their strength is obviously inferior to the Chinese team, so there is no such thing as exposing their strength in advance......
In the first half, Chen Long sat on the bench all the time and didn't even warm up.
At half-time, he warmed up with his teammates on the bench.
However, after the start of the second half, Cannavaro still did not want to replace Chen Long.
Chen Tao was a little breathless, and Chen Long, who occasionally appeared in close-ups, still had a calm face.
Finally, in the 70th minute, the Chinese team made a substitution, and Chen Long was replaced!
Chen Tao's "torment" is over.
