Chapter 187: Times Have Changed
Times have changed.
I don't know why, when Guan Xinyan saw the scene in front of him, such a sentence popped out of his mind.
The restaurant in the Flying Fish Football Training Base of the Shanhai Football Association is very spacious, which can accommodate more than 200 people at the same time.
With the exception of the four large round tables that can seat ten people in the four corners of the separate dining room, the other seats are all booths for four to six people.
With such a big restaurant, you can sit anywhere you want.
If you don't fit in, you can sit in a four-person booth in the corner.
If you have a good relationship, you can also sit in a six-person booth and avoid contact with other people.
But now in Guan Xinyan's eyes, in the huge restaurant, only that small area is the most lively, and everyone is gathered around those booths.
In the middle of these positions is a booth for six people.
There were seven people sitting on it: Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei, Chen Xingyi, Guo Junfu, Wang Zijian, Sun Gang and Gao Ruimin.
He was right, there were seven people sitting in the six-person booth.
Even that Luo Kai and Liu Jinge sat at a table across from this booth.
Although everyone eats casually, it means so much to gather around a table.
I think he was also such a popular figure in the team at the beginning......
And now that he has only missed the East Asian Cup once, and then returned to the national Olympic team, he has a feeling of "things are wrong".
A lot of things have changed.
Hulai has just finished telling everyone about the set-piece tactics they prepared for the Poseidon team, which caused everyone to be jaw-dropping. Another party in that game, central defender Liu Yan, widened his eyes and shouted: "You kid still have so many tricks that he hasn't used?!" ”
Then it made everyone in the room laugh.
Guo Junfu patted Liu Yan on the shoulder and laughed: "Lao Liu, you don't lose unjustly, really, you don't lose unjustly!" ”
Wang Zijian said: "Liu Yan, you think so, next time you meet again, Shiningxing's set-piece tactics will be useless to you......"
Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be really thinking about this matter.
Chen Xingyi next to him said, "Isn't it, Brother Liu?" Do you really want to? I advise you not to do this, who knows what bad water will come out of Hulai when the time comes! ”
"Oh my god, little star, which side are you on!"
"Hahaha!"
The restaurant was filled with laughter.
Guan Xinyan couldn't laugh at all when he saw this scene.
Guo Junfu, Liu Yan and him, originally known as the "Three Sons of the National Youth Team", are the three most outstanding people in the National Youth Team, and they just form a central axis.
In the past, he should have sat in the middle and talked and laughed with Guo Junfu and Liu Yan in the eyes of other players.
And now......
"Xinhiko, do we want to go over too?" Xiao Xiao, who was holding a plate next to him, reminded him loudly.
Guan Xinyan came back to his senses, he shook his head: "No need, let's eat here, and go back to the room after eating." ”
With that, he put the plate on the ten-person table next to him.
"Oh...... Good. Xiao Xiao also sat next to him.
Two people occupy a ten-person table, which is a bit conspicuous.
Someone noticed the situation, but didn't say anything, just looked at it a few times and then looked back.
Guo Junfu wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he held back.
When he signed in, he had already reminded Guan Xinyan euphemistically, but the latter seemed to be unable to pull it off for a while.
Let's hope he can figure it out slowly......
Times have really changed.
※※※
On the second day's training ground, the players of the national Olympic team saw their head coach Shi Wuyun and assistant coach Li Zhifei.
The members of the coaching staff of the national Olympic team also met the players of the new national Olympic team.
"Because we have players in the team who have been selected for the first time this time, I will introduce myself again. My name is Shi Wuyun, and I am your head coach and I will lead you to the U23 Asian Cup, which is the Olympic qualifiers, in January next year. "Shi Wuyun, who was standing in front of the team, was wearing a capable sportswear, stepping on a football under his feet, his hands were on his waist, his movements were very energetic, and his words were also very energetic." The next three warm-up games will be the three most important warm-up games before the U23 Asian Cup, so I hope you can cheer up and work hard to prove that you are capable of participating in the U23 Asian Cup! ”
After hearing what Coach Shi said, every player couldn't help but puff up their chests, for fear that their performance was not good enough, they couldn't get into Coach Shi's eyes, and they couldn't participate in the U23 Asian Cup.
Especially those players who have not played in the East Asian Cup before, they lack a chance to prove themselves.
After he introduced himself, it was the turn of assistant coach Li Zhifei to introduce himself: "I am your assistant coach Li Zhifei. I'm a very disciplined coach, so I want everyone to listen to me when training and never take my words seriously. Because we have a very difficult task to complete in a limited amount of time. From today onwards, the team's attacking tactics will be a little different from what you are used to......"
Guo Junfu didn't seem surprised when he heard the assistant coach say this, and he threw a shot at Guan Xinyan.
And the latter didn't seem to hear anything from these words, he was like a wooden man, and he didn't react to Coach Lee's words.
Guo Junfu sighed in his heart.
“…… We don't have much time and we have to master the new attacking tactics before next year's U23 Asian Cup! And this three warm-up matches are a test of your training results. Don't assume that just because time is short, it doesn't matter what you turn out to be. I'm telling you, there is a requirement for a short time. Each of you has to give it your all during this time, hear me! ”
Li Zhifei asked loudly.
All the players of the national Olympic team also replied loudly: "I heard you!! ”
"Very good, let's start warming up now!"
※※※
Soon after the start of the official training, everyone knew what the so-called "new offensive tactics" meant.
In the past, the National Olympic team was mainly based on the 442 formation, even in the East Asian Cup.
But this time, the national Olympic team had to change to 433, and Hulai was put in the center position.
Then there's the tactical arrangement around how he attacks.
In this regard, Shi Wuyun and Li Zhifei have no fixed candidates, and they are constantly doing permutations and combinations in training.
So everyone understood, to put it bluntly, this set of offensive tactics is not fixed except for Hulai, which is fixed.
But almost no one thinks there's anything wrong with this, and they don't feel jealous of Hulai.
Because Hu Lai's strength can be seen by everyone, who dares to come out and say that Hu Lai is not worthy of this position?
How did you not have "Koreanophobia" in the East Asian Cup? How did the Chinese team come to win the second East Asian Cup?
At the club, they now have 19 goals and are the top scorers in the league. Although he is the top scorer in the league, how many people can score so many goals in the Chinese league besides him? Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi are already the second most goals in the league in the national Olympic team, and there is also a huge gap between them and Hu Lai.
Guan Xinyan is in the Chinese Super League, but Guan Xinyan has only scored a few goals?
Two balls.
How many did Hulai enter?
Nineteen balls.
No matter how difficult the Chinese Super League is, is there such a big gap of 2:19 with the difficulty of scoring goals in the Chinese Super League?
Not to mention that Hulai faced Chinese Super League teams twice in the FA Cup, and also scored a total of three goals.
More goals than Shinhiko Kwan has scored in all of the Super League games this season.
Hu Lai has played well in national teams and club games, and such a player can't be the main center forward in the national Olympic team?
What level of team does the Chinese Olympic team have to be?
Although Hulai's position is confirmed, the two flanks around him can still be contested.
Wang Zijian, Guan Xinyan, Luo Kai, Chen Xingyi, and Wang Hua all have a chance, as for Tan Yunlong, he is a standard center forward, and his positioning is also very clear - Hu Lai's substitute.
But that doesn't mean he just needs to sit on the bench and cheer on his teammates and hand out towels.
In fact, Shi Wuyun also arranged special tactics for him - when he played, the offensive tactics of the National Olympic team would be different from when Hu Lai was there.
This tactic will make full use of Tan Yunlong's excellent physical condition and the characteristics of being tall and able to hold the ball, and use him as an offensive fulcrum, allowing him to make the ball for the wingers on the two wings and the midfielders who are inserted in the back, providing opportunities.
The focus of the Olympic team's attack will shift from the middle to the two wings.
The corresponding wide players will also be adjusted, and more consideration will be given to scoring ability.
But no matter what kind of tactic, Guan Xinyan found that he was no longer the indispensable offensive core of this team.
Even if Hulai is not on the pitch, he needs to rely on two wingers to score, and he is not the only one who can do it.
After all, there's another side......
Neither in terms of possession nor the right to fire, he had no priority.
If his side can't get through, the coach will immediately ask for a wide transfer to direct the attack to the other side.
It wasn't like this before, in the past, if you couldn't get through, you had to rely on him to play, and where he went, the main direction of attack of the National Olympic team was on the side.
Right now......
And what made him even more uncomfortable was that even if he was ready to take 10,000 steps back to accept this new set of tactics, he was surprised to find that his competitiveness in this team's forward line plummeted.
Shi Wuyun's requirements for the two wing attacking players in this set of tactics are "comprehensive", who can pass and shoot suddenly, and have speed requirements.
In fact, Guan Xinyan has these abilities.
But how good is it...... If it is placed in the previous national Olympic team and the national youth team, it is still quite competitive.
Now he was stunned to find that the two strikers who were selected for the national Olympic team for the first time had the ability to be no weaker than him at all, and even better than him in some aspects.
For example, in the team's speed test, Chen Xingyi's speed surpassed the whole team, surpassing Wang Zijian, who was the fastest runner, and became the team's 30-meter sprint champion. And in terms of the combination of speed and power, Luo Kai is superior.
Chen Xingyi's advantage also includes that he and Hu Lai have been working together in Shinstar for nearly a season, and there is nothing to say about the tacit understanding.
And Luo Kai's personal ability is more prominent, and when he is forced to fight alone, he is much stronger than Guan Xinyan.
Chen Xingyi is good at his left foot, Luo Kai is all-round left and right, these two people are one left and one right, and they can also cross left and right. You can cross with your feet after breaking down the flanks, you can cut inside and shoot with your feet, and you can also hand the ball to Hulai in the process of a lateral dribble......
All of a sudden, the tactics of attacking in the front court became richer.
No wonder Guo Junfu told him that the competition would be fierce......
However, Guan Xinyan has his own plans, he will not admit defeat, he will use the opportunity of the warm-up game to prove to Coach Shi that he can still be the offensive core of this team, he is the indispensable one!
※※※
After four days of training, the Chinese Olympic team welcomed their first warm-up match opponents, the Lao Olympic team, in Shanhai.
In this game, Shi Wuyun did not continue to use the previous tactics, but directly used the new tactics.
However, in terms of personnel selection, he also used the previous national Olympic team players to a certain extent.
For example, he asked Guan Xinyan to start and Wang Zijian to form two wings, Guan Xinyan on the left and Wang Zijian on the right, and then told them that they could switch positions appropriately in the game.
Hulai in the center.
Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai, two newcomers to the National Olympic team, sat next to each other on the bench.
The two of them are still talking.
Chen Xingyi asked: "Luo Kai, you kid still haven't released me from the blacklist?" ”
Luo Kai was very strange: "When did I block you?" ”
Chen Xingyi habitually touched the side of his thigh, and then remembered that the mobile phone was locked in the locker room, and Shi Gui didn't let him bring it.
"I don't care, you're just blocking me. When the first half is over, I'll show you the verification on my phone! ”
After thinking about it for a while, Luo Kai suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right, I blocked you." Who asked you to reel me the news about Hulay? ”
"At that time, I thought to myself, as classmates and teammates, wouldn't it be good for you two to find out about each other? Who knows if you and he don't deal with it. Speaking of this, Chen Xingyi suddenly laughed shyly, then tilted his head and leaned closer and whispered: "To be honest, is it related to Li Qingqing!" ”
Luo Kai was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "It has nothing to do with Qingqing!" Before we transferred to Qingqing, we didn't like each other. ”
"That's weird, Rokai. I have a general understanding of the situation at that time, and I believe you when you say that Hulai is unhappy with you. You are high up and popular, and Hu Lai looks at you unpleasantly and thinks that you are normal to pretend to be or something...... Why are you upset with Hulai? What is there about him to upset you? ”
Luo Kai's mouth opened when Chen Xingyi asked, but he didn't speak.
Because he found that he was unhappy with Hu Lai, it seemed that it was really because of Li Qingqing......
The goddess in his mind was so close to Hulai, who was like a clown at that time, and he was a little ...... Jealous.
When Chen Xingyi saw Luo Kai suddenly fall silent, he knew that he had guessed it.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
At this time, there was a burst of cheers from the fans in the stands.
When Wang Zijian forced his way into the penalty area of the Lao Olympic team, he was put to the ground by the opposing defender, and the referee blew the whistle decisively, not only giving the foul Lao Olympic team player a yellow card, but also giving the Chinese Olympic team a penalty.
And the penalty taker designated by Shi Wuyun within the team is Hu Lai.
He immediately walked to the penalty spot with the football in his arms.
"Hulai wants to score......" Although he hasn't kicked yet, Chen Xingyi has already said so.
Sure enough, a minute later, Hulai kicked the penalty into the goal of the Lao Olympic team, opening the scoring for the Chinese Olympic team.
Chen Xingyi stood up and cheered for Hu Lai's goal, and then turned his head to find that Luo Kai was also among the people celebrating the goal.
※※※
Hu Lai's penalty was the only goal scored by the Chinese Olympic team in the first half.
Not only that, but the team was equalized by the Lao Olympic team before the end of the first half.
It can be said that the performance of the Chinese Olympic team at other times is not good except for this penalty.
Among them, Guan Xinyan's performance in the first half was particularly bad.
After getting the ball, he was obsessed with individual performance, and seemed to want to prove to Shi Coach on the court that he was still the same core as before.
Too much of the ball is not passed, so that the Chinese Olympic team repeatedly misses good opportunities when attacking.
Too much ball handling also led to some completely unnecessary mistakes and conceded balls, and the Chinese Olympic team's offense was not easy to hit, and they had to immediately return to the defense to participate in the defense.
That's how the goal was conceded at the end.
The commentators saw that Guan Xinyan's performance was not good, and criticized Guan Xinyan's performance more than once.
"Bring too much!"
"It's too sticky to get the ball!"
"What do you think, pass the ball!"
"I shot when I shouldn't shoot, and now I don't shoot when I should shoot, I have to take one more step, and I have no angle!"
"Alas!"
"Hah!"
At halftime, Shi Wuyun said to the depressed Guan Xinyan in the locker room: "In the second half, you come down and take a rest and take a good look at how others play." ”
This was said very seriously, Guan Xinyan did not refute or protest, he just lowered his head, no one could see his expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
※※※
In the second half, the performance of the national Olympic team, which changed a set of attacking lineups, was immediately completely different from the first half.
Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai were on the left and right sides of Hulai, and whether they relied on their individual ability or sought to cooperate with their teammates, they performed better than Guan Xinyan in the first half.
At halftime, he was still defending Guan Xinyan, believing that in addition to Hu Lai, Guan Xinyan was the strongest person in the offensive lineup of the National Olympic team, not that Guan Xinyan did not perform well, but that Shi Wuyan's tactics were not suitable for him.
As a result, the performance of Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai in the second half slapped the faces of these Guan Xinyan fans.
Relying on the excellent performance between Chen Xingyi, Luo Kai and Hu Lai, the Chinese Olympic team finally defeated the Lao Olympic team 3:1 at home.
Hu Lai scored twice and Guo Junfu scored another goal.
Although Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai did not score, their contributions are not reflected by simple goal assist statistics.
Anyone who has watched the game will have the opinion that the Olympic team has found their trident.
And Guan Xinyan's fans must accept the reality that in this trident, there is no place for their family Guan Xinyan, and he is not even qualified to be a halberd.
