Just stepped into June, Tang Hong returned to China to participate in the national team training.

After coming to the Xianghe National Football Training Base to meet his teammates from the national team, everyone congratulated Tang Hong on the accolades he won in European football and his transfer to Manchester United.

In the eyes of others, the transfer to Manchester United is a glorious thing, as if he can glorify his ancestors, but Tang Hong does not have this awareness, he went to Manchester United not for the light of water, but for the comprehensive consideration of his career development, going to Manchester United will better make himself stronger!

The time span of European leagues is different from that of Asian leagues, where the European season mostly starts at the end of summer and ends at the beginning of the following summer, while the Asian season mostly starts in spring and ends in autumn without New Year's Eve.

Therefore, like Tang Hong, Qin Rui, Wu Lei, and Luo Hongkai, who followed Celta's strong performance at the end of the season and directly won the second place in the La Liga La Liga, and Zhao Hanchun, who failed in the Eredivisie promotion play-offs, they have actually entered the holiday when they return to China.

The other internationals are still in the competition period of the Chinese Super League.

The national team's training camp has attracted much attention, firstly, several foreign players have performed remarkably in European football, and the popularity and attention brought by Tang Hong is a must-have topic in football every day.

Second, the top 10 matches have begun, and whether the Chinese team can enter the 2014 World Cup has also come to a critical stage.

On the morning of the first day of training, Van der Heer took the coaching team to meet with the players, and compared to the more relaxed training atmosphere before, Van der Shier behaved very harshly today.

He first explained to the players the changes in the technical and tactical play of the Chinese team, and then saw the effect through group training.

He has a whole new demand for the team!

Everyone has to run continuously in the game, the formation spreads out quickly when attacking, and the midfielders have to be the focal point at the back, even if they are not involved in the attack.

The requirements for the two full-backs are even higher, going down when attacking, returning at full speed when defending, and don't stop until you don't run to death.

The second requirement is to pass the ball accurately, quit blind ball and hesitation, even if it is just a meaningless short pass, as long as you see that your teammates have a safe space to respond, then you must pass the ball decisively!

As for the offensive creativity, it is definitely still concentrated in a few players.

The third point is toughness in defense, which is based on running!

Van der Hiller's tactical changes and demands may have left some players unhappy.

Tang Hong could see from the expressions and reactions of some of his teammates, and he could even imagine what they were thinking: Why are you so troublesome? Just pass the ball to the frontcourt player!

Yes, the Chinese media have blown up the current forward line of the Chinese team!

Led by Tang Hong, the legendary record setter in a single season of the Portuguese Super League and the top scorer in the Europa League, followed by Qin Rui, the top scorer in the German Second Division, and then Wu Lei, who performed well in Gil Vicente in the Portuguese Super League.

With this trident, the Chinese front line can be the strongest in Asia for ten years!

This is the favorite headline of the Chinese media in recent days, and it is also the words on the lips of many commentators.

But football is not a sport of a few people after all, and there is indeed a difference between high and low ability in a team, but if others do not work hard to narrow this gap, then won't it lower the team's overall combat effectiveness?

To put it mildly, it's a burden!

After Van der Heer took office, he has actually abandoned a large number of international players who were once familiar to Chinese fans, which makes the current international players in the team, especially the local internationals, quite aggrieved that people have to bow their heads under the roof.

The captain has also become Tang Hong, and Tang Hong has not fulfilled the responsibility of a captain who should care about his teammates.

At least in the past, even though the team atmosphere was divided into factions, it was still harmonious on the surface.

Tang Hong, the captain, doesn't seem to be half-conscious of forming a gang, neither alienating anyone nor supporting anyone.

Anyway, I play football wholeheartedly.

Football is often a microcosm of society, so compared to Europe that goes straight to Europe, it is understandable that the humanization of Chinese society is reflected on the football field, but Tang Hong has no energy to do these things, and he feels that it is of little significance.

Besides, for some teammates, he really can't look down on them from the bottom of his heart.

Save a little face and say that they are past their peak and there is not much room for improvement.

If they don't show mercy, then they will be messing around, and they don't need to talk about football dreams, and they can't talk about being professional or unprofessional in the national team, after all, the national team doesn't pay them a salary.

Now the most famous in the team is Tang Hong, and there are Wu Lei and Qin Rui in the back row, which will allow many teammates to relieve the pressure from external public opinion.

Will this make them perform better and be more motivated?

Not necessarily!

It can only be said that it will make some people who are messing around more comfortable to mix.

The team did well, mixed well.

If the team's performance is not good, naturally someone will be the backbiter, and it will not be too bad.

Now Van der Hill's move is quite good, at least a mirror.

After a week of preparation, the national football team went to challenge Jordan away.

In the last group stage, the Chinese team played Jordan, and now the top 10 are in the same group.

On the night of the match, Jordan's home attendance was average, but many Chinese fans occupied a stand to cheer for the Chinese team.

Van der Heer waited from the sidelines with his arms folded around his chest to see how his team fared after a few days of preparation.

The Chinese team sent their strongest squad so far without the slightest reservation.

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.

Jordan's lineup has also not changed much from last year's play.

In terms of strength, the Chinese team is definitely superior, and Jordan may be able to narrow the gap if it has home advantage.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

The Jordanians lost the last time they met China, and even though they had already advanced to the top 10 at that time, they were suspicious of relaxation, but the current Chinese team should not be taken lightly in any way.

They took the initiative to control the tempo after the opening, and the Chinese team's forward line carried out a frantic counterattack in the middle circle slightly forward, and Tang Hong, Qin Rui, and Wu Lei's pressing and harassment forced the Jordanian team to attack the Chinese team's half.

The pace of the game immediately picked up.

And when the Jordanian team attacked the Chinese team's half, the scene became a little ugly.

The Chinese team always fouled when defending, which made Van der Heer frown like constipation on the sidelines.

I don't know if he has a problem with his expression or if the Chinese players have a problem with understanding.

Are ferocious pressing and foul play the same thing?

But at least the attitude of the players came out, just a little tired.

Tang Hong is still assisting Luo Hongkai in the front court to organize the offensive, he wants to wait directly at the forefront of the front line for his teammates to send him a wonderful pass, but after staying in the front 5 minutes without any movement, he will recognize the reality and honestly come back to improve the offensive organization efficiency of the Chinese team.

After all, the Chinese team does not have Barbosa, and Viana is a player who can pass the ball and dare not say that it can penetrate the defense, but at least it can also allow Tang Hong to respond in a favorable position.

The Jordanian team is neither stupid nor blind, and it is natural that Tang Hong will be tightly sealed.

This made it more difficult for Tang Hong to receive passes from teammates in the front court, which was more like the Chinese team's offensive formation being cut by the opponent's defense.

After Tang Hong took the initiative to retreat for offensive organization, the Chinese team's offense began to gradually gain momentum.

Jordan didn't expect the Chinese team to have a makeover today, especially the players in the midfield and backfield are like chicken blood, their players are difficult to control the ball after half the court, and there is no space to connect.

Zhao Xujun, Zheng Zhi and Luo Hongkai's trio swept back and forth, and the contraction of the side during local defense, which made the Jordan team's offense unable to even pass half the court!

At least from this point of view, the changes in the Chinese team are still very significant.

In the attack, Tang Hong was able to make short pass contact with Sun Xiang at the back of the wing, Zheng Zhi and Luo Hongkai at the rear of the side, which also improved the quality of the organization.

Tang Hong and Luo Hongkai frequently sent shells to the frontcourt, and Wu Lei and Qin Rui either rushed forward alone, or played a simple cooperation in front of the opponent's penalty area, and the success rate was not bad, but the shooting was still a little worse.

Seeing that just over 30 minutes into the game, the Chinese team continued to create shooting threats in the front court, Wu Lei and Qin Rui seemed to be a little out of shape, and the shots were either directed to the opponent's goalkeeper or simply sent directly to the sky.

The Jordanian team did not expect to be suppressed by the Chinese team at home, and they could only passively shrink the defense line when they were obviously caught off guard.

In the 38th minute of the game, Luo Hongkai passed the ball straight to the right in front of the penalty area.

Wu Lei quickly cut inside and took possession of the ball back and then knocked the ball across the middle.

Qin Rui responded with his back, originally planning to pull the ball and turn around to shoot, but he saw Tang Hong rushing up and cutting inward, so he knocked the ball back.

Tang Hong stopped and stopped in the middle of the crazy run, and then stopped and dialed the ball and shook the defender in front of him, and then blasted a volley with his right foot!

The soccer ball flies straight to the top right corner of the goal!

The Jordanian goalkeeper didn't even make a save, just stood in front of the goal line and mechanically turned his head to look at the corner of the goal, watching the football fly into the goal!

Don't look at him Gao Jie resisted for most of the day, in fact, the Chinese team's shot went to him, and he really didn't need to save!

Tang Hong breathed a sigh of relief at the moment of the goal, fortunately he scored, if he didn't score, it is estimated that the mentality of these forwards would become a little anxious.

Tang Hong did not rush to the sidelines, but exchanged high-fives with his teammates around him in celebration.

Teammates in the backcourt also ran to enjoy the joy of taking the lead.

Van der Sheer clapped his hands from the sidelines, and while it was clear that there was something wrong with his team's performance, the lead was the best way to cover up the problem temporarily.

At the same time, he also saw that the change of the Chinese team was positive, even if it was not as good as expected, it was a good sign after all.

The first half ended quickly, and the two teams returned to the dressing room to take a break to prepare for the second half.
