In the first game of the Dunhill Cup, the national football team faced a high temperature of more than 30 degrees on the spot.

When you're done with the workouts, everyone is soaking wet. Ou Chuliang was even worse, as the most worn player on the court, his armpits, front chest and back, and various joints were soaked with sweat.

"Ryoko, are you alright?" General Fan said worriedly, "Why don't you drink saliva again, be careful not to get heat stroke!" ”

"It's okay, just move!" Ou Chuliang waved his hand, "I'd rather suffer from heat stroke than go to the toilet in front of so many spectators." ”

After the start of the game, the Chinese team in the 442 position played a little too cautiously and advanced very slowly. The opponent Singapore team is also happy to pull a big saw with the national football team.

But before the two sides could reach half a point, the score changed.

In the 21st minute, Su Maozhen burst into the penalty area on the left side and was tackled by Singapore's No. 8. General Fan took the penalty kick and opened the scoring for the Chinese team.

In the second half, when Yibian fought again, Ladd replaced the discussion and Zhang Xiaorui together, and Su Maozhen and Peng Weiguo withdrew from the firing line.

The four Jianlibao youth players in the midfield gathered together and played their familiar Brazilian football again.

In the 60th minute, after discussing a cross from the right, Li Jinyu jumped to the top and scored his first A-level goal, 2-0.

At the last minute of the game, Singapore's No. 15 team saw that Ou Chuliang was standing a little forward, and shot a cold arrow from 30 meters away from the goal. Fortunately, the crossbar became the patron saint in time, and the Chinese team finally kept a clean sheet against the opponent.

On February 23, the Chinese team continued to compete in the second game of the group stage of the Dunhill Cup. This time, Ladd discharged a 433 and let all four Jianlibao starts.

Due to the heavy rain for several days, the field was very muddy, and the Chinese team's passing and receiving were not affected a lot.

Although the Finnish team lacks three stars who play in the Eredivisie, including the number one star Litmanen, the tough style makes the Chinese team quite uncomfortable. The Chinese team did not have a shot on goal in the entire first half, and it was only because Zhang Xiaorui crossed the ball on the right side of the penalty area in the 16th minute, and was saved by the No. 1 goalkeeper of the Finnish team when he made a hand mistake and slapped the ball into the net, so that he was able to lead 1-0 back to the locker room.

In the second half, under the impact of the Finnish team, the Chinese team's defense line leaked everywhere.

In the 51st minute, Finland's No. 8 sent the same cross in the same position as Zhang Xiaorui in the first half, and the result was also a goal.

The difference is that the self-posing oolong is not Ou Chuliang, but his own defender. General Fan was anxious to break the siege and stabbed the ball into his own door, drawing 1-1.

After being equalized by the opponent, Ladd immediately made a transfer, Su Maozhen and Qu Shengqing appeared one after another, replacing Zhang Xiaorui and discussing.

The results are immediate.

Only three minutes later, Peng Weiguo took a corner kick, Yang Chen's header was blocked, and the golden head Lao Mao inserted it in time to make up for it.

The national football team finally scored a goal to defeat the Finnish team and advanced to the semifinals one round ahead of schedule.

The third group stage was also two days later, and the Chinese team, which had no pressure to qualify, changed the previous back 4 and lined up a 352 formation.

In the three guards, General Fan was in the center, Wu Chengying was guarding the left side, and Wei Qun was on the right back. Sun Jihai was placed in advance and was placed in the position of right wingback.

The advantage of one more person in the midfield allowed the Chinese team to firmly control the midfield and control the rhythm of the game in the opening game.

Sun Jihai, in particular, is like a fish in water in the position of right wingback.

The near-perfect score of the YOYO test made Sun Jihai have a brilliant performance on both the offensive and defensive ends, as if he would never get tired of running, constantly shuttling between the front and back of the right wing.

The formation of the back 3 not only did not reduce the defensive ability of the Chinese team, but also gave them a lot of advantages in control and attack.

In the end, the Chinese team easily defeated the host Malaysia with a score of 3-0, and the two teams qualified together. Sun Jihai, who was named the best of the game, also received two assists.

Just when fans were speculating whether the Chinese team would continue to use a 3-back formation, in the semifinals on February 28, Ladd once again "innovated" and discharged a 451 formation.

On the forward line, only Su Mao Zhen was left, and it looked as if he was going to use this "awl" spire to break through the opponent's door.

However, it was pouring rain in Kuala Lumpur from noon and did not stop until the eve of the game.

There is a lot of water in the stadium, which has a big impact on African players.

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, is only sending U23 teams to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, and their strength is limited.

The Chinese team combined high and fast, focusing on hitting the opponent's back with obvious effect. In the 22nd minute, Peng Weiguo took a corner kick, and General Fan rushed to the top of the ball to open the scoring.

In the 29th minute, the Chinese captain passed to the penalty area, and the Zimbabwean defender cleared the ball and kicked it into the air. Su Maozhen took the ball and crossed, Yang Chen and Qu Shengqing shot the goal, and finally the latter shoveled the projectile into the net, and the national football team ended the first half 2-0.

Although it was 451, it became 433 again when it came to midfield. Qu Shengqing and Yang Chen are almost on the same level as Su Maozhen, and there is even a tendency to surpass them.

And this phenomenon suddenly disappeared in the second half, and I don't know what Qi and Ladd said to the players at halftime.

Just two minutes into the second half, there was a sudden power outage at Merdeka Stadium, and the game was interrupted for 20 minutes before it could be resumed.

After a fierce battle at half-time, the field was even more muddy, and it was difficult for both sides to play normal cross-cutting coordination, so they could only let the ball fly in the air.

Ou Chuliang was concentrating on guarding against the opponent's long-range shots, as long as the angle was not particularly tricky, he could easily defuse it. Under such conditions, Zimbabwe U23 can only communicate face-to-face with Ou Chuliang in this way.

In the 67th minute, Peng Weiguo took a free kick on the left side of the front, and General Fan flew to the top to rewrite the score to 3-0.

After taking the lead by a large score, the national football team began to replace the main force to prepare for the finals, and all four Jianlibao players appeared on the court again.

The Zimbabwean team also broke the can, and the small actions continued, frequently bringing down the national football players. The referee turned a blind eye, but the penalty for the Chinese team was quite harsh.

For this reason, Qi Missheng and Gu Mingchang shouted on the sidelines that the players should be calm and not make big mistakes because they were in a hurry.

In the last five minutes, Ou Chuliang, General Fan and Jin Guangzhu all received a yellow card. Two minutes before the end of the game, Zimbabwe's No. 14 player clearly charged Ochuliang, who jumped to receive a high ball, and after Ochuliang fell to the ground, No. 11 took the opportunity to shoot the ball into the empty goal.

What is speechless is that the referee actually awarded the goal as a valid one.

However, Ou Chuliang did not react too aggressively after standing up, but took advantage of the referee to point to the middle circle, raised a middle finger at the Zimbabwean player with a provocative face, and said contemptuously: "loser!"

The unknown golden pillar on the side subconsciously stretched out his hand and raised it on Ou Chuliang's middle finger. Although Ou Chuliang's face was extremely embarrassed, Jin Guangzhu's approach was wrong, and the Zimbabwean striker opposite was so angry that he jumped again and again.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Zimbabwe U23 3-1 and advanced to the final of the Dunhill Cup.

On the evening of March 2, the Chinese team played the Dunhill Cup final with the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team at the Merdeka Stadium.

Although he has reached the final, Ladd's ranking is extremely bold.

Fans couldn't help but see only Wu Chengying, General Fan and Sun Jihai on the back line, and also saw partners like Qu Shengqing, Wang Tao and Xie Hui on the front line.

Xiao Wang Tao is 1.94 meters tall and a typical tower-style center. He barely showed up in this cup match, and as soon as he played, it was in the final.

Li Legend, the leader of the team in the stands, saw his eyelids jumping, he knew that Ladd wanted to use this cup to train, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't even "let go" of the final.

343, which was almost parallel to each other in three lines, showed great attack power and desire to attack, but due to Qu Shengqing and Xie Hui's poor ability to grasp opportunities, they were repeatedly successfully defended.

Bosnia-Herzegovina's counterattack was fast and ferocious, and Ochungao resisted it, barely keeping the goal in the net.

In the 34th minute, Ladd replaced Xie Hui with Zhang Xiaorui, and the formation changed to 352 again, and the situation on the field improved.

At the very least, the five-man midfielder will not allow the Bosnia-Herzegovina players to break through easily again when defending.

In the second half, the discussion replaced Qu Shengqing.

After the four Jianlibao youngsters focused their attacks on the right side, they finally opened up the situation for the Chinese team.

In the 56th minute, Li Jinyu passed directly to the penalty area on the right side of the midfield, and Zhang Xiaorui received the ball and passed two defenders of Bosnia and Herzegovina and then shook the goalkeeper and sent it into the empty goal, 1-0.

3 minutes later, Li Tie made a cross from the right side, and it was Zhang Xiaorui's fall to the ground that was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper. So far, Jianlibao four little swans have all broken their fast.

The physically exhausted Bosnia and Herzegovina team was no longer able to threaten the Chinese team's goal, and in the 84th minute, Sun Jihai, who had been defending the whole game on the right side, successfully broke through on the right side. With a volley from a small angle, the victory was sealed 3-0.

So far, the Chinese team has successfully lifted the Dunhill Trophy and won a prize of US$100,000 and a fair play award.
