Chapter 37: Doubts
When he returned to the hotel, Zheng Zhi found that most of his teammates had not returned, not even Zhao Junzhe.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, Zhao Jun Zhecai tiptoed back into the room.
Just in time for the team's rounds, it can be regarded as returning to the team on time......
Zhao Junzhe didn't say anything to Zheng Zhi, he looked quite tired, and fell asleep after lying on the bed.
The next morning, the national Olympic team held a confrontation match, but the effect was very bad, the main force and the substitutes did not seem to be excited, and the pace of the players was a little heavy.
Zhu Guanghu stood beside Horton and analyzed through an interpreter, "The weather in Vietnam is too humid and muggy, and everyone can't get excited. In the game the day after tomorrow, fitness may be an issue. ”
"A lot of people are out of shape."
"But Zheng Zhi is an exception, he plays with ease."
"The fitness of the Korean players has always been very good, and I suggest that it is more secure to let Lee Eun start and partner with Zheng Zhi."
Horton nodded, agreeing with Zhu Guanghu's analysis.
But it's hard to say whether these guys can't play because of the weather.
At least Zheng Zhi didn't think so, he always felt that they did something bad yesterday. It's like they're carrying 20 kilograms of weight on their backs, fighting against the weak. But if you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to say.
When he finished eating yesterday, Li Yin was also there, and he was just surprised why Zhao Junzhe didn't come back......
"What about the two wings? Let Xu Yunlong, who has a balanced offense and defense, play on the right side, and Huang Yong on the left side? ”
Regarding the level of understanding of the lineup, Horton is definitely not as good as Zhu Guanghu now, Horton has only known for a month, and Zhu Guanghu has been for several years. Horton also respects Zhu Guanghu quite a lot, and it is not as rumored that Horton is covering the sky with one hand.
And Zhu Guanghu did not show favoritism, but only determined the players according to the player's state and tactical requirements. A player like Xu Yunlong can take it into account, which is enough to show that he is not selfish.
※※※※
On another day, the state of the national Olympic team has finally improved a lot, and it looks like it is a little used to the sweltering weather here.
The main lineup of the National Olympic team has also been confirmed, which is similar to what Zhu Guanghu said yesterday.
No one dared to go out that night, so everyone went to bed early and waited for the next day's match against South Korea's U22s.
On the day of the competition, South Korea's U22 has been analyzed in advance, and CCBV5 has recorded a program for the National Olympic Games, focusing on the preparation for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.
Zhang Lu, the famous host of the program, said: "Hehe, as far as the South Korean U22 lineup is concerned, if the national Olympic team plays normally, there is no problem in winning them, just see how many goals they can score." Most of their players are not playing in the main team, and most of their time is spent in college. It can be considered that in fact, they are only semi-professional players, unlike China, which are all professional. ”
"All their forwards combined can't compare to one Zhang Yuming."
It can be imagined how popular Zhang Yuming is in China now, and he is not playing A yet.
"Now there is a doubt, I heard that Horton and Zhu Guanghu are trying their best to make Zheng Zhi the core of the team's midfield, I think this is a time bomb, because it is too risky to change the core of the team in a few training games. You must know that Zheng Zhi has never played in a real game. ”
Zhang Lu is not optimistic about Zheng Zhi's debut, and his partner Liu Jianhong also echoed: "I think Director Zhang's analysis is very reasonable, it is better to seek stability in the first game, Zheng Zhi is a newcomer after all, and if he doesn't play well, he will be in trouble." ”
"But Zhu Guanghu and Horton still have a lot of ideas, after all, if Zheng Zhi plays out, it will be a good thing for the National Olympics, no matter what, let's wait and see."
Half an hour later, the National Olympic team announced the starting list, and sure enough, Zheng Zhi's name was impressively listed.
Goalkeeper: Li Jian
Defenders: Sun Jihai, Li Weifeng, Zhang Ran, Tao Wei
Midfielders: Xu Yunlong, Zheng Zhi, Li Yin, Huang Yong
Forwards: Zhang Yuming, Li Jinyu
After seeing this lineup, many Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV exclaimed.
"Ah, Sui Xiliang didn't start."
"Neither does Zhao Junzhe!"
"These two are nothing, and even Zhang Xiaorui's didn't start? Oh my God, the brains of the British are in water? Don't put the best players in the country, with Zheng Zhi and Xu Yunlong? ”
'I think the goalkeeper should be in the upper echelons, even though he's a little younger.
"The opponent is South Korea, even if it's a college team, you can't be so underestimated, alas, this game is dangerous, don't be poured two at the beginning, and finally end in tragedy."
"Conservatism is always our common problem, can't we play heartily? Always so cautious, special, not reliable at all. ”
Neither experts nor fans are optimistic about this starting lineup.
Of course, Zhu Guanghu also understood one or two, although it was impossible to hear this kind of sound around him, but in the locker room, Zhu Guanghu still found Zheng Zhi alone and chatted for a while.
"Xiao Zheng,"
"Don't put pressure on yourself in this game, just play the same way you normally train."
"I'm optimistic about you."
"Thank you Zhu, I'm calm." Zheng Zhi smiled faintly.
Looking at Zheng Zhi with a calm face, Zhu Guanghu didn't know what to continue to say.
"That's good, that's good."
In the players' tunnel, Zheng Zhi saw familiar faces, all of which were as immature as him. Especially that Park Ji-sung, his eyes are so small that he can't even see. To Zheng Zhi's surprise, Park Ji-sung actually started today, wearing the No. 4 jersey.
At this time, Park Ji-sung is still a defender, I don't know what coach Xu Ding-mao thinks, maybe he thinks Park Ji-sung can only run, right? His nickname is Sanlung Pu.
Seeing Zheng Zhi staring at him, Park Ji-sung subconsciously looked away, at this time he didn't have that domineering feeling of leakage......
Zheng Zhi glanced at the young Li Dongguo again, Li Dongguo stood straight, like a handsome statue. He couldn't help but turn his head sideways and say to Li Weifeng behind him, "Brother Feng,"
"This guy is a pretty dangerous guy, you have to keep an eye on him."
"Yes."
……
At the Hu Chi Minh Stadium in Vietnam, there are not many fans who come to watch the game, after all, it is only a national Olympics-level game, but there is no shortage of Chinese fans here.
At this time, the Vietnamese port had already been opened, and many Chinese came to Vietnam to do business, and when they heard that there was a game of the national Olympic team, more than 300 Chinese fans still appeared in the stands.
Although the number of people was small, they wore uniform red robes, and they didn't know that they had never gotten gongs and drums, and under the leadership of the leader, they beat gongs and drums while shouting:
"Chinese team, come on!"
"Come on, Chinese team!"
……
No matter where the Chinese team appears, there will always be a part of Chinese fans who are cute and don't give up......
