157. It's still the flock

"Tahiti, translated as Tahiti in Hong Kong and Taiwan, is the largest island in the Windward Islands of French Polynesia, located in the South Pacific Ocean. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt is a year-round resort with warm spring seasons and abundant products, making it a year-round resort for leisure and relaxation. The inhabitants call themselves 'God's men', while foreigners consider it 'the closest place to heaven'. ”

Liu Jianhong read a long paragraph according to Baidu Encyclopedia, and then began to play his imagination.

"When it comes to Tahiti, we have to mention the relationship between this small country and our Chinese football, in the 90s of the last century, Nangong Coach next to me played for Pillay Club in Tahiti for 8 years, helped the team win 8 championships, and he himself has won the honor of the best player and scorer in the league many times." He pointed to the special guest Nangong Lei, "And in 1993, because of Nangong's excellent performance, he was nominated as a candidate for the World Footballer of the Year, and he was also the first Chinese player to be nominated. ”

Nangong Lei waved his hand again and again: "It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning, I was just a soy sauce maker at the time." ”

Zhang Lu smiled and did not make his own comments.

――In fact, although Nangong Lei's experience sounds legendary, it is really not worth mentioning in the history of world football. Because in 1985, Nangong Lei, who was only 21 years old, chose to retire because of a knee injury and went to Canada for further study, but by chance joined the Tahiti Pillay club on the island of Oceania, and then mixed in the government-run team for 8 years.

Playing in a place that doesn't even count as a professional league, playing in a crowd of civil servants, postmen, taxi drivers, tour guides, and mason-turned-players would be miserable if he couldn't stand out yet......

However, it was this group of mason-turned-players who stunned these Chinese professional players with an annual salary of millions or even tens of millions of yuan after the start of the game 15 minutes after the game.

β€œ1-0! Tahiti breaks the deadlock! Liu Jianhong almost couldn't believe his eyes, "The Chinese team attacked around the opponent's half for 15 minutes, but the opponent took advantage of a counterattack opportunity to take the next game!" ”

It was just a seemingly unthreatening counterattack, the Tahitian striker rushed to the Chinese penalty area alone, his teammates had no sense of support at all, and the Chinese defender Zhang Linpeng had already cut off the ball from behind and passed it back to Dewey Feng at the edge of the box, but when the latter picked up his big foot and was about to pass it to the front, he was extremely unexpectedly kicked off......

He passed the ball directly to the feet of the Tahiti striker who was close at hand, and then watched the opponent kick the goal, and goalkeeper Zeng Cheng's head became blank in an instant!

"The veteran Dewey Feng dropped the chain again at a critical moment......" Liu Jianhong sighed heavily, he felt that he had seen this scene countless times many years ago, "We used to say that when the Chinese team faced those strong teams, the players were often unable to play at a normal level because of psychological tension, but today...... I don't know how to explain that mistake. Because the striker in Tahiti was at least half a head shorter than Dewey, and he was not physically enough to put pressure on him......"

"It shouldn't be," Nangong Lei also shook his head again and again, he knew the strength of the Tahiti players, so he felt even more regretful, "As an experienced defender, Du Weifeng's mistake is too amateurish, how can he face the opponent with a big kick, even if he gives the ball to Zeng Cheng behind him......"

Zhang Lu is the only one who remains optimistic: "Such a start may allow the players of the Chinese team to be vigilant and raise enough spirit in the next time, as long as our group of people play normally, it should not be a problem to reverse and win." ”

However, the normal play he said was delayed: the Chinese team, which was behind by one goal, bombarded almost with the strength of the whole team, but Tahiti, who retreated from the defense on all fronts, made them hit their heads in front of two amateur-level copper walls.

The forward players led by Gao Feilin did not have the opportunity to face the goal, but his teammate's side cross was too fast, and he stretched out his foot to stop the ball and shoot, but the football stopped directly three meters away......

Liu Jianhong and the other two commentators looked at each other, and they could see in each other's eyes that they were full of worry.

No one is telling the hard truth.

They thought that in recent years, the Chinese team has won the Asian Cup, entered the finals of the World Cup in advance, achieved an unprecedented world ranking, and cultivated a world-famous Mr. Golden Ball, although the overall strength of the team will not immediately become a world-class powerhouse, but at least it has been greatly changed.

But the reality in front of them tells them: if Qin Gude doesn't play, these people are still a group of sick sheep.

Yes, while Qin Goode was struggling for a place in the youth teams of Manchester and Cottages, those people in the country were just making their way into the first team through various channels.

While Qin Goode faced top rivals in the Bundesliga, Premier League and Champions League, nothing changed in the lives and experiences of his national team teammates – except for Shao Jiayi and Hao Jun, but neither of them was the hero who turned the tide.

Why should they be so transformed?

Just a few days a year when you train with Mr. Golden Ball in six or seven national team training camps?

Wake up, they're still sheep.

Although the Chinese team behaved a little embarrassed, head coach Lippi adjusted his tactics in time: he abandoned the plan to hand over the right to fire to Gao Feilin, and directed the players on the field to give the ball more to the two wings, with Yu Hai and Hao Jun tearing apart the opponent's defense through continuous onslaught, and taking the opportunity to create free kick opportunities.

Finally, as the game went on, the physical weaknesses of the amateur players were gradually exposed, and the masons of Tahiti could no longer concentrate as they did at the beginning, and their movements became more and more out of their control, and after receiving yellow cards and verbal warnings in a row, they sent a number of free kick opportunities for the Chinese team, but the Chinese players' ability to grasp the opportunities was really amazing, and two almost easy scoring opportunities actually made them hit the plane.

Lippi hugged his head again and again and lamented, but the Silver Fox, who had coached Chinese clubs, was not too surprised: after all, the main striker Gao Feilin was once his player, and he knew the shooting level of these people......

Towards the 43rd minute, Hao Jun's side cut was tackled by the opposing defender, and the captain of the field, Shao Jiayi, stood behind the ball again.

This time he and his teammates did not waste the opportunity, Shao Jiayi hoisted the ball over the human wall, defender Zhang Linpeng came out from behind the human wall, and rushed the ball into the opponent's goal before the goalkeeper attacked, 1-1!

Everyone was relieved by the belated goal, and Lippi also stood up from the dugout and gave a round of applause to the players on the pitch.

Then he turned his head to Qin Good, who was sitting in the second row, and said: "To hell with Ferguson's advice, you will play at the beginning of the second half, if there is a draw with this small island country that 99% of Europeans can't find on the map, I will have no face to mix in world football." ”

Qin Goode looked up at the head coach and couldn't help but smile and raise his eyebrows.

The lion has finally come out of the cage after resting for 20 days.

He found a large flock of lambs who could not even stand on their feet. (To be continued.) )
