On the rest day after the game, Qin Goode took a very rare day off. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was no special extra practice, even the daily training was canceled by him, he just turned on the TV in the living room and watched the footage of three games: the East Asian Cup (the previous East Asian semi-finals) of the second tier of the Chinese national team.

This is a team composed entirely of substitutes who did not participate in the Confederations Cup, but there are also players who are familiar to Qin Goode: Wang Xiaolei, Yu Xiaobao, Sun Dake, Deng Zhuoxiang, Wu Xi, Du Weifeng, Cui Peng, Yang Xuri, Yang Hao, Park Dacheng, Qu Jiangbo, Yu Haitao......

Lippi almost maintained the line-up and tactics in the Confederations Cup, while Deng Zhuoxiang, who played as a midfielder, played the role of Qin Good.

Then everyone saw the gap between the two people.

Before the Japanese team's fast pass, Deng Zhuoxiang appeared to be slow; In front of the tall Australian kangaroo, he seems to lack strength; In front of the tenacious South Koreans, his style of play is really soft......

In many cases, not only can he not be the initiator and instigator of the Chinese team's attack, but he often becomes the finisher of the attack: the opponent's back is very easy to cut off the football from under his feet, and then penetrate the Chinese team's midfield.

The voice of the narrator Duan Yixuan came from the TV.

"Yes, I think we should all feel it clearly, three games in a row, we played very hard, we didn't have more than 40 per cent of the possession, whether it was against Japan, South Korea, or Australia, it wasn't good on the field."

"Although we are not the strongest lineup, but in fact, the gap with the strength of the players participating in the Federation Cup is not too big, Wang Xiaolei, Du Weifeng, Cui Peng, Yang Xuri, Yang Hao, Qu Jiangbo, Yu Haitao and others are also frequent visitors in the first team, if there is any substantial difference, it is that they have not been able to play the role of Qin Goode. No, I'm afraid there is no one who can replace Qin Good's role in this national team. ”

Qin Gude smiled and shook his head: If the Chinese team has three teammates of the same level as himself, next year's World Cup can simply win the championship with his eyes closed......

Lippi is certainly not a fool, he has long known that no one can be a core like Qin Goode, so he formulated the most suitable tactics for this second-tier team: defense first, counterattack secondary.

Because the East Asian semi-finals are a single round-robin match: the four teams play a match against each other and then calculate the winners and losers and points, and each game is decided by the winner, so even if it is a draw in regulation time, it will go to a penalty shootout.

This is the perfect tournament to train your defense.

Relying on defensive tactics, the substitutes defeated South Korea in the first penalty shoot-out, then narrowly beat Japan 1-0 in the second game, and finally won a surprise 4-3 goal shootout against the Kangaroos Australia, and won all three games against Japan.

Champion coach Lippi from Italy has once again proved the irrefutable truth that "defense wins the title".

The Silver Fox also used this championship to prove that his title of "champion coach" is not in vain: even if he does not recruit Qin Goode, the absolute main force, he can use reasonable tactics and a certain amount of luck to win the game, especially the strength of the three teams of Japan, South Korea and Australia is not weak at all......

-- I would like to mention that in the women's group of this East Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team ranked first from the bottom, but this news did not even occupy a little finger-sized page in the newspapers, and it did not get any coverage......

Football is a game of winners and losers, and the losers may receive comforting praise and tears of sympathy, but the winners will definitely have it all.

"Welcome to the Matchday Preview on August 26, and this is Gary Lineker."

"I'm John Mortenson."

In the BBC's live broadcast room, two presenters sit diagonally.

'It's a shame that Gary Neville, who was a special guest with us a lot last season, had to say goodbye to us this season,' Lineker said with a smile, "and he's done a good job in United's development squad with one win and one draw. ”

"Haha, there's only one Gary on the show now." Mortenson also smiled and said, "Audience friends don't have to work hard to distinguish the names of the two of you. ”

'The second round of the Premier League is just around the corner, so let's take a look at the head-to-head matchup in this round, Manchester United at home to Chelsea. Lineker pressed the remote control in his hand, and the red and blue logos of Manchester United and Chelsea appeared behind him, "As we all know, this is Ferguson's last season in charge of Manchester United, but it is Mourinho's first tough game since returning to the Premier League, these two managers were once a pair of rivals, Mourinho snatched two Premier League titles from Alex Ferguson in his first game in charge of the Blues, and he is also one of the managers with the highest winning percentage against Ferguson in the Premier League schedule." ”

"That's right," Mortensen said, looking at the information in his hand, "last season, Sir Alex Ferguson reclaimed the league title from Manchester City with an indomitable momentum, and he also set multiple records, while Chelsea only finished fourth in the league without the burden of the Champions League, neither Italian Di Matteo nor Spaniard Benitez could make Chelsea regain their long-lost temperament, and I wonder if the former Stamford Bridge madman can reinstill this spirit in the Blues." ”

Two hours later, Mourinho sighed from the stands at Old Trafford.

He picked up his first red card since returning to the Blues in the 10th minute of the second half, and was picked up by the bald sheriff (Webber used to be a sheriff, or rather, refereeing is his side job...... He went straight to the stands and will definitely be punished for it.

But he couldn't help it.

He had to.

By the 55th minute, his side were 3-0 down at Old Trafford and had no hope of a comeback.

At this time, the Blues deputy and Frank Lampard were fouled for handball in the Manchester United penalty area, and the bald Webber, who was like lightning and strictly enforced, directly took out the red card, sent the "magic lamp" out of the stadium, and gave Rooney a penalty......

So Mourinho's unwillingness to accumulate for an hour exploded at this moment, and his spit sprayed directly on Webb's bald head, and then ...... Chelsea, who had no leader and one less person to fight, was completely crushed by the Red Devils!

The final score of what was considered the focus of the game was 6-0, which shattered the glasses of all the experts who were expecting a great fight......

Ferguson did admire Jose Mourinho and when the Portuguese first took charge of the Bridge, the odd-tempered, foul-mouthed madman was hated by coaches and media across the Premier League, but when he came to Old Trafford as a guest, the old guy offered him a drink after the game.

Therefore, Ferguson is the only opponent that Mourinho respects in the Premier League, and they cherish each other, and Ferguson has even stated many times that he hopes to let the Portuguese take over one day; And Mourinho has also repeatedly expressed his respect for Ferguson and his yearning to coach Manchester United.

But this did not prevent the old man from giving the young man he admired the most (the young man relative to him) a big defeat.

After two rounds of victories, Ferguson handed over the team's training to first assistant coach Mike Ferran and took his wife on a plane to Switzerland for a holiday.

"This is your first game, Mike," the old man patted his assistant on the shoulder before leaving, and his tone was extremely relaxed, "if you have any questions, you can call me." ”

Fei Lan nodded, and then his face suddenly changed, and he pointed to Qin Gude, who was carrying a suitcase, and asked in a lost voice, "Why do you want to go together?" ”

Manchester United's core looked at the look of a fool: "Because I'm also going to UEFA's Champions League draw and award ceremony......"

Phelan couldn't help but hug his head: "Please, the next game is Liverpool!" ”

"Don't worry," Qin Goode patted him on the back, "I'll be back that day." ”

The real King of Manchester United will not miss this game! (To be continued.) )
