Chapter 432: A Lesson for Harvey (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The Spanish Olympic team will definitely not accept falling behind, they are the world junior champions, and they are the best players in their age group in the world.
So, they launched a crazy counterattack, Albelda and Angulo came up from two flanks, the formation changed from 4312 to 4132, and the attacking posture was obvious. However, they underestimated the Chinese team's midfield.
Zheng Zhi, Li Yin, Li Weifeng, Sun Jihai, Shao Jiayi, these five players are all playing in Europe, they have experienced a big scene, and they are not afraid of these Spanish little melons, although Tao Wei and Shu Sing have no experience in Europe, but they are also thriving in the club, plus the right forward Zhao Junzhe is originally focused on defense, and it is really not easy for Spain to suppress the Chinese team to play. The Chinese team who retreated to the backfield did not let them attack easily, and Spain made a move, rushing away with a long pass, and directly hoisting the ball into the Chinese team's big penalty area.
But the defensive line led by Li Weifeng was impregnable, with few loopholes. After bombing for more than ten minutes in a row, Tamudo and Luis Garcia failed to get any good opportunities, and then the Spanish Olympic coach woke up like a dream and shifted the focus of the attack to the right side, at least Tao Wei's side looks easier to break through, if you play on the left side, Sun Jihai is a husband and wife, and he can't get over it at all, and the Spanish Olympic coach finally understands that these Chinese players who play in Europe are not rookies at all.
However, Tao Wei couldn't bear it alone, and Li Yin came to help, and the Chinese team's defense was still as stable as a dog.
"Harvey!"
In the end, the Spanish Olympic coach could only ask Xavi to press, originally wanted Xavi to sit in the backfield to control the rhythm, but if Xavi did not put in the attack, the whole team's attack was not threatening at all.
Zheng Zhi keenly observed the changes in Xavi's position, during this time, he rarely left the Chinese team's half, focusing on defense, and now Xavi has come up, which means that Spain's backcourt space is large, and he can play behind Spain at any time.
If there is a speed-type striker, it is a great opportunity, but unfortunately it is Zhang Yuming and Li Jinyu who start the game, if it is Li Yi? Hey......
It's really not good, it's okay to go to the little pineapple, he also thought of the qu pineapple he had just recruited, and the kid's speed was even faster than Li Yi. Originally, Qu Peng had no chance to enter the National Olympic team, but because Wu Di ran to sign Qu Peng, Wu Di took the initiative to send a videotape to Horton and recommended Qu Peng to Horton, and Horton brought him to Europe.
It can be said that Zheng Zhi changed Qu Peng's fate, at least let him take the lead in advance, although he has not yet gotten the opportunity to play, but in training, Qu Peng's state is recognized by Horton and the coaching staff. What if Li Yi and Qu Peng form a double striker?
Zheng Zhi is looking forward to Horton's adjustment in the second half, and he believes that Horton will definitely give these two a chance. Now, the combination of Li Jinyu and Zhang Yuming will definitely not be dismantled, at least they will be given half time.
In fact, none of the forwards on the field at this time have been able to show their ability, and the defenders on both sides are just too good.
In the 36th minute, Zheng Zhi hit Xavi's back once, and the Spanish Olympic defense had no depth protection, but unfortunately Zhang Yuming had no speed advantage when he took the ball to face Marchena, and was used by Marchena to cut off the ball.
And if you're a speed striker? It is estimated that Marchena may not be able to break the ball.
At the end of the first half, the score did not change in any way, it was still 0:1, and the Spanish Olympic team was one goal behind the Chinese team.
At this time, a group of people came from the stands, and the guy who walked in front combed his hair shiny, and asked the people around him as he walked.
"There must be two balls, right?"
"Uh,"
"No, one goal behind."
"What? Only one step ahead? Camacho's brow furrowed.
"No, no, no,"
"It's not that we're one step ahead, it's that we're one step behind."
“???”
"Walter? We're one behind? Are you sure you're not kidding me? Why did we trail China by one goal in Calderón? Is this the Spanish Olympic team playing? Camacho spat on.
"That's what a world junior champion looks like? Those kids can't even play China to win? ”
……
……
"Alas," Manolo Romero, who was not far away, kept shaking his head, "José is still the same, scolding at every turn." ”
He stood up and waved.
"José, over here."
The two have been friends since Camacho played football, and they talk about almost everything. After Camacho saw Romero, he walked over, and then took the initiative to hug Romero, and wiped two bubbles of saliva on both sides of Romero's face, which was extremely affectionate.
"Manolo, what the hell is going on, it's not like our Olympic team?"
"It's normal, because we underestimated the opponent, this Chinese Olympic team is very strong, especially on the defensive end, their victory is no less than ours, not to mention, they also have a Zheng."
"Zheng? Leverkusen that? Camacho was slightly surprised.
"Yes."
"But he's only one man, and he can't beat us alone."
'You're wrong, he's not alone, they have several players in their squad playing in Europe, everybody is the main player, they're not afraid of us at all. Our strikers couldn't get the ball in the box and couldn't finish shooting. ”
"So strong? Is there something that can be done? I said I'm going to bring Joaquin and Vicente in, hehe, now it's stupid, with those two guys here, they can tear up any side defense. ”
It can be seen that Camacho also likes Joaquín and Vicente.
"Against a simple team, you have to use the easiest way."
"You're right, but none of them are here now."
"You see, there were no adjustments in the second half." Romero pointed to the stadium, at this time, the players of both sides were at home again, and the Spanish Olympic team did not make any substitutions at all, and it was still the same wave in the first half.
'Oops, why don't you make substitutions, there's no change, the game is no different from the first half.' Camacho shrugged his shoulders and finally moved his big puff to the chair.
"The Chinese team changed all the forwards, and it wasn't these two strikers in the first half." Romero's eyes were sharp, and he immediately noticed that the Chinese team was different.
"I don't have any information about these two players, but I think it must be a targeted substitution, and the opponent should see the problem."
"I know the manager, he taught me, Bobby Houghton, my friend, a master theorist." Camacho smiled, "His adjustments must have a purpose, let's see what happens." ”
The Chinese team was replaced by Qu Peng and Li Yi, and Li Jinyu and Zhang Yuming were replaced.
Qu Peng is still playing for the first time for the National Olympic team, and Li Yi has played a lot of games, but he has not been very outstanding.
……
……
Yibian fought again, and the Chinese team still closed the defense line relatively backward, waiting for Spain to attack. The Spanish players came up with two long-range shots, Albelda and Gabri each came with one kick, but they lacked crosshairs, and Chen Xi in front of the goal did not have any pressure at all, and easily ran to the back of the goal to pick up the ball.
Although it appeared that Spain was in control, it did not create much of a threat.
However, Tamudo and Luis Garcia increased their range of movement in an attempt to pull apart the Chinese team's defense, but they were amazed by the running ability of Li Yin and Zheng Zhi, who were always able to show up for their teammates' way out of the ball in advance!
"Damn,"
"We're in a state of siege."
Luis Garcia cursed and exchanged words with Tamudo. The two of them have been playing soy sauce for almost an hour and look like two fools.
After being snatched away by Li Yin again, Luis Garcia did not chase back, but watched Li Yin hand over the ball to Zheng Zhi.
Zheng Zhi finally waited for the opportunity to make a move, rushed to the halfway line with the ball, and after attracting Albelda and Xavi, he sent a through ball.
swish
Xavi turned his head sideways, and the ball flew past his right side against the turf and stabbed straight into the heart of Spain.
The emaciated guy in the number 19 shirt ignored Marchena's marking and went straight to the speed of the second.
So fast!
Accurate!
Zheng Zhi's just right pass rolled directly in front of Qu Peng, and Qu Peng accelerated to get rid of the tall Marchena.
It's embarrassing.
In the blink of an eye, Qu Pine formed a single knife on the left side of the big forbidden area.
"Whew~"
"It's going to be over!"
Valdés in the stands exclaimed, his palms spread wildly, as if he was standing in front of the goal facing the galloping pine.
But Alan Subia in front of the goal hesitated, he didn't seem to be as resolute as Valdés in the stands, so he hesitated for a moment and didn't attack in time, and then Qu Peng adjusted the pace of the shot, and pushed the ball directly into the lower right corner of the goal with his right foot, and when the ball crossed the goal line, Alan Subia also took a step.
It doesn't look like his goalkeeping skills are outstanding.
"This,"
"This damn goalkeeper,"
"My dog reacts faster than him, why didn't he attack?" Camacho stomped his feet in the stands and cursed.
"Alas, this ball, if it was Casillas, he would definitely have rushed out of the small penalty area, and it would be absolutely impossible for him to shoot so calmly!"
"José, are you embarrassed? If you hadn't drawn Casillas into the national team, how could it be Alan Subia standing in front of the goal? Romero was furious, too, but the target of his anger was Camacho, not Aransubia.
If Camacho hadn't recruited the young Casillas to the national team, where would there be this goal now? If you want to blame Camacho, you have to blame Camacho!
"What are you bringing him to the national team for? Will you give him a chance to play? Will you start him? Will you let him play at next year's European Championships? ”
"You won't, you might as well put him on the Olympic team and let him participate in the Olympics, so that he will grow faster."
In the face of Romero's series of pressing questions, Camacho's muscles trembled in his face and immediately retorted, "If you were a manager, you wouldn't ask such stupid questions." If the main goalkeeper is injured, I have to use a substitute! ”
"Fart, Casillas is the number three goalkeeper."
"This ......"
Camacho was finally silent.
At this time, after the goal, Qu Peng rushed back from the front court and hugged Zheng Zhi, and only Zheng Zhi could give him such a beautiful assist, and other teammates couldn't do it at all. He has to thank Zheng Zhi for his first goal in the Olympic team, although it was a friendly goal.
What is the most important metric for a striker? It's the goal, it's the efficiency of the goal, obviously, there's no better debut.
Not far away, Horton and Zhu Guanghu hugged each other tightly, and his tactical adjustment was successful, crushing Spain with speed.
The offensive routine is as simple as that, Zheng Zhichuan plugs the ball straight, Qu Peng uses speed to get rid of the defender, perfect!
Why don't we do it? Harvey looked at Zheng Zhi with envy, he also wanted to be such a passer, and he also wanted to have such a forward teammate.
However, the manager doesn't play that way, preferring a point-grabbing striker......
"Alas,"
"This tactic can't be played,"
"Or just take two speed strikers and do them,"
"Or go on a breakout midfielder like me and get past their defense!"
Young Iniesta leaned on the railing and jumped, "Seriously, I can get past them." ”
"You?"
"Have you ever looked at it?"
"Do you know Zheng's stats in the Bundesliga? Last year, he was known as the villain of the stadium, and you want to pass under his feet? You've got to leave your feet behind. ”
"Huh,"
"I'm not going to keep my feet, I'm just going to let him cry behind me." Iniesta stuck out his tongue.
"But I learned his croquettes, I played more proficiently than him, and that Marseille maneuver, hehe, I think they are all better than him."
"You're bragging better than him, haha!"
Valverde scoffed.
"Really, Harvey said the same, he said that I play better than Zheng, he can't play these, he will have a Marseille roundabout, and he can't play croquettes."
……
……
Falling behind by two goals is almost a shame for the Spanish Olympic team. The Spanish fans in front of the TV scolded and scolded.
"It's disgusting."
"I doubt they were given the World Junior Championships,"
"Even China can't win the Olympic Games, what can they expect to perform in the Olympics?"
"Raul should come back, Casillas should come back, Vicente and Joaquín should go in, we should form the strongest Olympic team, not these players in front of us."
"It looks like this one is going to be lost, and there is nothing the manager can do about it."
……
……
Falling behind by two goals did put too much pressure on the Spanish Olympic team, they have always played too smoothly, whether it was in the European Youth Championship or in the World Youth Championships, no opponent has ever caused them problems, but now the Chinese team has done it and let them fall two goals behind. Faced with such a situation, they seem helpless.
After that, the offense was still as haphazard. Although adjustments were made, Jose Mari and Bella Marsan came up, but the Chinese team's defense was still as steady as Mount Tai, and Li Yi and Qu Peng in front were like two sharp swords, ready to pierce them again.
After being caught off guard by Qu Peng, Marchena didn't dare to leave Qu Peng's side, while Li Yi fought Puyol twice, and Puyol still had the upper hand.
But even so, they didn't dare to be careless.
In the 77th minute, after Spain's attack was fruitless, Zheng Zhi showed a long pass over the top in the backfield, and before Xavi came up, Zheng Zhi kicked out. This time it was to hit Li Yi, but unfortunately after Li Yi plugged in at high speed, he stopped the ball ten meters away and missed the single knife! Maybe Puyol was putting too much pressure on him behind him?
"Woohoo~"
"Beautiful pass~"
"Poor Stop~"
'Luckily, the striker didn't have the best way to stop the ball, otherwise we would have conceded the third goal.'
"We're going to die in this game."
……
……
Li Yichong, who stopped losing the ball, gave a thumbs up to Zheng Zhi, but his whole face was hot, this is a live broadcast......
"Oops, Li Yi stopped the ball,"
"I don't know how to describe it."
"I have to strengthen my basic training."
Huang Jianxiang was also powerless to complain.
"It would be fatal to lose an opportunity like that in an important game."
"Maybe a game is just a good opportunity to come out, and if you miss it, you can't regret it."
……
……
"Harvey,"
"Why don't you stop him?"
Puyol spoke up in the back, thinking that Xavi and Albelda were not in place, and let Zheng Zhi pass the ball.
Xavi wanted to explain something, but the captain spoke, feeling that his explanation was useless.
I defended it, but he passed too fast, like he had an eye in front of him, and he could always see the striker's movement?
yes
Damn it
I'm so tired today......
Xavi feels a sense of powerlessness, he has never played such a weak game, obviously Spain has always been dominant, why is the score two goals behind?
Obviously, Zheng Zhi has been behind, but he has two assists?
I can't figure out how he did it.
Alas......
When the whistle blew at the end of the game, and when his teammates were all hanging their heads in frustration, Xavi strode towards Zheng Zhi, who had to ask Zheng Zhi what he needed to learn.
"Hello, Zheng,"
Harvey took the initiative to greet Zheng Zhi in his not very fluent English.
"Hello,"
"I wonder why you always have a good view at the back?"
Well?
This guy, Zheng Zhi was slightly startled, and found that Harvey was asking him for advice.
But he's not going to skimp on that.
"Always observed,"
"You have to have your teammates in your head and eyes at all times,"
'I don't just want to get the ball, I should know what to do next and which team-mate I'm going to get it to.
"It sounds hard." Harvey touched the back of his head.
'Yes, you have to keep the ball at your feet in training, you have to watch your team-mates' movements and try to control the game with your rhythm and control the team.
"Our tactics restrained you, and you didn't make the changes you should, or rather, you didn't make the changes."
Harvey nodded, as if he understood something.
Subsequently, Xavi got Zheng Zhi's jersey as he wished, and in this friendly match, Zheng Zhi taught Xavi a good lesson......
