Unlike the women's national team, which has to warm up with the younger Tamron U15s, the U22 training team's warm-up opponents, the Tamron reserve team, have an average age greater than theirs.

And this is also the opponent deliberately chosen by the U22 head coach Shi Wuyun.

The choice of Tenglong is close to each other, because everyone trains together, and the training base of the Tenglong club and the training base of the national team are next to each other. After all, the training base of the national team was originally part of the Tenglong training base, and later the owner of the Tenglong club set aside 200 acres of land from the land he bought to build a training base for the national team.

Strictly speaking, before the Football Association repaired this training base three years ago, the training base of the Tenglong Club next door was better than the national training base of the Football Association in terms of hardware and software facilities.

When the national team was training, Tenglong's reserve team and various echelons were also training in a training base across the road.

This is the warm-up opponent of the two national teams.

Shi Wuyun did not choose the younger Tenglong U19, but chose the reserve team, of course, because the strength of the reserve team is stronger than that of the U19, and such warm-up opponents are more valuable in warm-ups.

This is also the strongest warm-up opponent he can find.

If you change to the first team of Tenron, people don't want to waste precious pre-season preparation time to play with your U22 national team.

This game, like the women's football game, was a warm-up match behind closed doors, not open to the public, no media, and no spectators.

It should be said that it doesn't matter how the result of this game is, what matters is the process.

Everyone knows that this game will be a look for the head coach for the upcoming East Asian Cup – to see who has enough quality to stay in the squad for the East Asian Cup, which kicks off on March 11.

In this game, Shi Wuyun experimented with two sets of tactics.

The first set is naturally the most commonly used 433 in U22, but the middle of the three forwards is not at the front, but pulls back and pulls out, more like a pseudo-nine, rather than a striker who is attacking the city, his main task is to help the team connect the attack in the midfield, make the ball for teammates, attract the opposing defenders to come out, pull out the gaps, and create offensive opportunities for teammates.

When the Under-22s played this formation, Hulay sat on the bench and did not play.

His characteristics do not lend themselves to this set of tactics.

Shi Wuyun is very clear about this through this period of training, as well as his previous observations of Hu Lai.

Hulay is an arrowhead and his only role on the pitch is to score goals and he can only score goals.

I want him to cooperate with the team to pull the side, retreat and respond and then organize the attack, pass the football to a better teammate in a higher position or something...... That's simply not possible.

So there is no place for Hulai in this set of tactics.

It turned out that Guan Xinyan, the main scorer of the National Olympic team, played the position of right winger in this set of tactics, because the team wanted to use his scoring and assault ability, and it was impossible for him to play as a center forward.

Partnering Guan Xinyan and responsible for the retreat pass is center Tan Yunlong, who is on the court.

In place of Guan Xinyan is Wang Zijian, the first veteran player Hu Lai has known since he came here.

He is also a winger, left and right, not tall, with average skill at his feet, but his speed is very good, which is his biggest killer feature.

This set of tactics and formations is the most familiar to the Under-22 players, and it is naturally easy to play.

But now when the U22s face the Dragons reserves, the tactics they are most familiar with are not going well.

The reason is naturally because after Guan Xinyan is away, Wang Zijian, who replaced him, has different characteristics and abilities from Guan Xinyan.

It turns out that the set of tactics can be said to be tailored to Guan Xinyan's characteristics.

He has a good attacking ability and a certain ability to score, so put him on the side, not in the middle, so that he can have space to play his breakthrough ability.

Then put a center forward in the middle to attract the opponent's defense, and at the same time retreat to open up the defense for him before making the ball.

In this way, Guan Xinyan can insert it directly into the penalty area and shoot to score.

In fact, Guan Xinyan played as a left winger when he first debuted, he was a left-footed player, and his performance was mediocre at that time.

Later, he switched to the right side, taking advantage of his outstanding left foot and focusing on cutting inside shots.

His six goals in Shanhai Blue Moon last season were basically scored in this way.

The same is true in the Olympic team.

In order to match this characteristic of Guan Xinyan, Tan Yunlong, whom Shi Wuyun arranged in the center position, is a center that is better at passing than shooting, is physically strong, can protect football, and can be a ball, rather than a scoring center.

The task of scoring was handed over to the two wingers from the centre's side, mainly Guan Xinyan's feet, of course.

The national Olympic team has always played like this, and everyone is familiar with it. But Shi Wuyun felt that he couldn't always put the treasure on Guan Xinyan.

Especially in the U23 Asian Cup, what if Guan Xinyan is stared at to death? What if Guan Xinyan is not in good shape? What if Guan Xinyan is injured?

It is precisely based on such concerns that Shi Wuyun began to investigate alternative candidates, or alternatives, nationwide last year.

Until he found Hulai.

A striker who is completely different from Shinhiko Seki, but can also score goals.

Shi Wuyun felt that he had found an alternative.

In fact, during this training camp, the team is basically training on alternatives.

It's the same 433, but the position of the center has changed, no longer retreating to respond, but moving forward, becoming an arrow figure.

The requirement for a center forward is not to run out of space to play the ball for his teammates, but to shoot and score.

※※※

In the first half, the Under-22s played their familiar tactics, but the team's attack did not work well, and the back line was seized by the Dragons reserve team to score a goal and fall behind.

At halftime, Shi Wuyun made tactical adjustments, and Hulai was finally able to put on the line.

Wang Guangwei was also replaced together at this time.

He is also a player that Shi Wuyun wants to investigate.

Guo Junfu, who started in the first half, was substituted, sat on the sidelines, and set his sights on Hu Lai.

It just so happens that he can take a good look at Hulai's performance from the sidelines.

Although there were group confrontation games in the previous training, the competition was still for the purpose of training and teaching, and the actual combat was not strong.

It's not like this game, except for the substitution rules, everything else is exactly the same as the official game.

Guo Junfu felt that it was on this occasion that Hulai's observations were of reference value.

As an offensive playmaker on the pitch, he is always watching, observing the movement of his teammates, observing the position of the opponent, observing the situation on the field. This has become a habit for him, and he is always used to observing others, even in his daily life off the field.

On the pitch, Guo Junfu was in charge of organizing the attack by Li Chengwu from the Chinese League A team Black Pole Star, who was once rivals in the Chinese League and now became teammates.

After the tall Li Chengwu started his football career, he has been playing as a center forward, but after playing for a few years, the team coach at the time thought that his foot skills were okay, and he had a strong body, so he could retreat to play in the midfield, and give full play to his good vision, strong body and ability to protect the ball.

In this way, he was transformed into a midfielder at the age of fifteen.

The coach's vision was correct, Li Chengwu was indeed more suitable as a midfielder, and after changing to a midfielder, he immediately stood out from his peers, promoted all the way, and finally became a player in the first team of the Black Pole Star, a Chinese league team.

Now he has been selected for the U22 training team and has the opportunity to represent China in the U23 Asian Cup to be held in China next year.

However, through this period of intensive training, in Guo Junfu's opinion, Li Chengwu is still a little far from a qualified organizer.

He mainly relies on a strong body, can better protect the football in the midfield, get the ball is the first requirement of a midfield organizer, can't get the ball, and lose the ball when the opponent grabs it, then you can't be an organizer.

Li Chengwu is physically strong, and even in the face of multiple people, he can use his strong body to withstand the opponent and buy time for his teammates who are running.

At the same time, he can also use his foot skills to get rid of opponents in midfield and push the team's attack forward.

In the end, because he played as a striker, he could shoot at goal, and if necessary, he could use it as a center in the penalty area, and he had the ability to score.

But what about the ability to organize an attack...... Guo Junfu doesn't look down on his teammates, but he really has his own pride and self-confidence in what he is best at.

The offensive organizer of the national Olympic team, whether it is the East Asian Cup this time or the U23 Asian Cup a year later, can only be him Guo Junfu.

Whether it is the ability to understand the game, or the control of the situation on the field, or the straight ball that is ecstatic, he is better than Li Chengwu, and there is definitely no reason for Coach Shi to choose Li Chengwu instead of himself.

Recruiting Li Chengwu into the team should obviously be the same as recruiting Hulai, just to prepare one more possibility. After all, Li Chengwu's characteristics are also something he does not have.

But soon, Guo Junfu, who was on the bench, was a little unable to sit still.

Because of this, Li Chengwu has already sent an assist to help the U22 training team equalize!

The man who scored the goal was ...... Hulai!
