After the discord in the team last month, the Chinese team showed a calm atmosphere in the team during the training camp in November.

The team is dominated by players from around 90 years and three years, the oldest players are Zheng Zhi in 80 years and Sun Xiang in 82 years, and then Zhao Xujun in 85 years.

Anyone can see that Van der Shier will use Tang Hong, Qin Rui, Luo Hongkai and other players to create a new squad framework.

The rejuvenation of the squad seems to be based on the long-term, but whether it can succeed in Chinese football is also full of suspense.

After days of preparation, the team is getting better, and it is not difficult for experienced players to complete Van der Shearer's requirements, and with the large number of young players, the overall enthusiasm is much higher than in the past, and the effect is naturally much better.

Before leaving for Doha, Qatar, Van der Heer attended his first press conference as the coach of the Chinese national team.

He faced almost all the mainstream football media in China alone, and the problems hit like a wave, and Van der Shier always maintained my self-immovable posture.

When it comes to the selection of personnel, he will reply with building a young squad to prepare for the long term.

The focus of the media is whether the Chinese team has given up on qualifying for the 2014 World Cup, even if there is little hope, why not try hard?

Van der Sheer said with a nonchalant expression: "I think hard work should be the norm for a team, not an impromptu idea.

It would be ridiculous to make up your mind to work hard in the hope of getting a desired result at this time.

Don't complicate the situation, we are about to play a key battle with Iraq, whether it is about advancing to the next stage or not, the Chinese team should go all out to win, as the head coach of course I expect to win the game, if we don't win in the end, then we will talk about whether the team has given up. ”

No matter how much skepticism Van der Heer has received, at least he has the advantage of being able to communicate well with the Chinese media, which allows the outside world to speculate that there are no communication barriers in his management team.

After a few days of preparation, the Chinese team left Beijing for Doha, Qatar.

Due to security and international factors, Iraq's home games will be played at neutral venues, and this time the home games are scheduled for the Grand Hamad Stadium in Doha, Qatar.

On November 11, the evening of the match day, just after night fell in Doha, the Chinese team and the Iraqi team warmed up before the game at the Grand Hamad Stadium.

Tang Hong and Wu Lei passed the ball on the field for a few minutes, and then began to habitually flip the ball.

Wu Lei, who was two years older than him, saw Tang Hong's skillful and comfortable ball skills, and he was ashamed of himself at the same time, and at the same time, he stood beside Tang Hong and asked, "How can you be as good as yours?" ”

Tang Hong stepped on the football and looked at Wu Lei, perhaps because of his figure, he looked older than Wu Lei, because Wu Lei was still a little thin at this time.

Tang Hong said to him: "You came to rob me." ”

Wu Lei was stunned for a moment, and then immediately stepped forward to force the grab, Tang Hong stepped on the football with one foot, and supported the center of gravity of his body with the other foot, and always blocked Wu Lei behind him in the ball protection confrontation.

"Don't worry, exert yourself!"

When Wu Lei heard this, he began to exert all his strength to fight against the oppression, but at best, he could not make Tang Hong move his body, but he could not make him lose control of the football.

About three minutes later, Wu Lei almost wanted to take Tang Hong down with a takedown, but found that he almost lost his center of gravity and failed.

He was a little discouraged and said to Tang Hong: "I can't grab it!" ”

Tang Hong picked up the ball in his hand and handed it to Wu Lei and said: "At least half of my teammates in Braga will let me take the initiative to make a foul in the situation just now, because I can't stop their more ferocious power confrontation."

How can I get better? Quite simply, practice makes perfect.

But if you want to play better, it's harder, stronger confrontation, better game reading, more calm and good ability to take chances.

You're strong in the league, and you can even play the Super League if you want to, but so what?

If you don't stay abroad before the age of 21, it doesn't make much sense to stay abroad after the age of 23.

The upper limit of staying abroad before the age of 21 is reborn, and going abroad after the age of 23 is nothing more than gilding, even if there is an improvement, it is just a level that stands out in the domestic market.

And at that level, which of the people around us is not now? ”

Wu Lei hugged the football thoughtfully.

The game will soon begin, and the players of both teams will return to the dressing room for the final preparations before the game.

Van der Heer didn't build momentum for a do-or-die match, and he knew that Chinese players had a common problem, which he discovered when he was coaching the national junior team to compete in the World Junior Championships.

Nest in the cross!

How to play at home, when they go abroad to play against foreign teams, they are nervous and have stage fright, and it seems that even the pressure of the end of the world falls on their shoulders.

The more emphasis is placed on winning or losing, the more pressure it puts on them!

Van der Heer used a way to de-pressurize the team, he gave the captain's armband to Tang Hong!

The most famous star in the team, Tang Hong, who has entered the annual European Golden Boy Award selection list, is responsible for these pressures.

What is not good is that the Chinese team at least has a back-handed man.

Last month Tang Hong was only a team member, but today he is the captain of the Chinese team!

If he loses, he has an unshirkable responsibility!

And even if he works hard, it is only his duty as a captain, and it cannot be compared with his teammates.

The weather in Doha is a bit hot and humid, which can be a bit frustrating.

There were less than 6,000 spectators in the stands at the Grand Hamad Stadium, most of them were fans of the Chinese team, and they had a clear position, just to support Tang Hong!

I don't know when Tang Hong has a lot of fan organizations, and they also have their own names.

One of the largest fan groups was in the stands of today's game, waving homemade flags that were particularly eye-catching.

On the left half of the flag, which is more than four meters long and more than two meters wide, is a hand-painted portrait of Tang Hong in celebration of the last round of undressing in the Portuguese Super League, with two lines of large characters dancing in the middle.

A lifelong fan, never give up!

In the lower right corner is the signature of the fan organization: Hongfan Family!

Tang Hong didn't know how these fan organizations worked, and he really didn't care too much, but when he led the Chinese team on the debut, he saw the patterns and words on the more than 10 big flags waving in the stands, which really warmed his heart, and at the same time was more full of fighting spirit!

Invisibly, it shoulders the expectations of more and more people!

Iraqi coach Zico's eyes swept over the starting lineup of the Chinese team, and his heart was mixed.

The good news is that the Chinese team has changed their formation on a large scale, and if there is a problem with the run-in, then it will be logical for Iraq to win this game.

The concern is that the Iraqi team may not have enough understanding of today's Chinese team.

Even Van der Shearer is a fledgling newcomer, and the style of play and tactical philosophy are unknown, and it would be a fool to assume that just because the opponent is Dutch, it will inevitably lead the team to pursue unrestrained romance.

"CCTV, CCTV, good evening, all viewers and friends, and welcome to watch the focus of the 2014 World Cup Qualifiers Asian Zone III Group Match between Iraq and China.

We are broadcasting this life-and-death battle live for you in Doha, Qatar today, the Chinese team is currently on the same score as Qatar, although there is an advantage in the number of goals, but we have not been able to win Iraq at home, so it can be said that we are already at a disadvantage.

Today's game is crucial and if we can draw with Iraq, we will have to make sure that we don't fall behind in the final two rounds and lead them on goal difference.

And if we can win the competition, then we will have a lot of hope of reaching the top 10!

Half a month ago, the Chinese team completed the change of coach, the newly appointed Dutch coach Van der Shier recruited a large number of young players, today we can see the Chinese team's starting lineup is very young, expect this group of young men to play a new atmosphere in the face of mature Iraq!

Iraq started today with 442.

Goalkeeper: Cassed.

Defenders: Hassim, Hussain, Shakir, Saeed.

Midfielders: Khalid, Munir, Akram, Zahair.

Forwards: Karim, Younis.

The Chinese team started today with 433.

Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng.

Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Dai Lin, Feng Xiaoting, Sun Xiang.

Midfielders: Zhao Xujun, Luo Hongkai, Zheng Zhi.

Forwards: Wu Lei, Qin Rui, Tang Hong.

How young are the starters of the Chinese team? Taking the front line as an example, Qin Rui and Tang Hong are both 18-year-old players, and Wu Lei is still more than a week away from turning 20 years old, in other words, the draw age of the front line trident is 19 years old!

The post-90s players are now starting to provoke the pillars of the Chinese team!

Let's cheer for these young players!

They are the hope and future of the Chinese team! ”

Tang Hong, who wore the armband of the captain of the Chinese team, and Qin Rui stood in the center circle and prepared to kick off.

He looked at the Iraqi lineup and said softly, "It's going to start." ”

Qin Rui's eyes were blazing, and he said with a fighting spirit: "Then create an era that belongs to us!" ”

The smile on the corner of Tang Hong's mouth flashed away, and it was replaced by an extremely solemn one.

Flick the ball lightly at your feet and let's go!
