Chapter 665: Kangaroos Are Not Coming Badly
The display of the trophy before the game was very beautiful, and the short words attracted a frenzied tsunami, but after the game started, Zhuo Yang could only be a dead substitute.
Rijkaard regretted a little that he had the impulse to take over the Chinese national team coach Indo-Pacific, and he even suspected that he did not have the life to be the head coach, perhaps his own bad luck affected Zhuo Yang, and Zhuo Yang was the unwarranted disaster. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why everything was normal before Zhuo Yang became the coach of the Chinese team, and not long after he took over, he had a strange disease of 'sudden muscle spasms'.
Zhuo Yang didn't hide it from Jie Shuai, AC Milan Club also informed him of the specific situation, and Jie Shuai even took the time to go to Milanello. Milan asked Jie Shuai to use Zhuo Yang carefully, suggesting that he only play half the court, Rijkaard is an insider, he knows how powerful it is, and of course he will not use Zhuo Yang harmfully for his own handsome seal.
Zhuo Yang's football prospects are in doubt, no one knows whether he will deteriorate in the future, whether he will be miraculously cured, even if he maintains his current symptoms, he will no longer be the previous Zhuo Yang, and there can be no world footballer who can only play half a game.
Rijkaard had come to China for Zhuo Yang, otherwise he would not have had any interest in football here. The Chinese team with and without Zhuo Yang is completely different, and the healthy Zhuo Yang is completely different from the Zhuo Yang who can only play half the court. In this situation, put Jie Shuai on the beam of the house, and my heart is cool and cool.
To be honest, Jie Shuai is a little absent-minded now, if the Chinese team does not have Zhuo Yang, this job will become his shackles, and there is no fun at all. Zhuo Yang's strange illness shook Jie Shuai's heart to compete in Asian football, and he retreated.
Everything will wait until after this game to check the results of Zhuo Yang's inspection in the United States, and if the results are disappointing, Rijkaard will give up this job even if he is infamous and will never be the head coach again. The previous two departures from the Dutch national team and Barcelona were because Rijkaard did not want to wronged himself.
Zhuo Yang's strange illness is now only limited to AC Milan's top management, Jie Shuai, Raiola, and himself, and the Chinese Football Association and Zhuo Yang's family have not told them for the time being. It's useless to tell the Football Association, just add trouble and discussion, and just inform them of the results. As for the family, Zhuo Yang didn't want his parents and sister to worry, so he hid it first.
In his coaching staff, Jie Shuai only secretly told the chief assistant coach Teng Carter, and the others didn't know about it. Only the meticulous Sforza saw some clues, and also saw the abnormality of Jie Shuai's low will, but he was not a talkative person, and he did not poke out the doubts in his heart.
AC Milan's reason for Zhuo Yang only playing half of the game during this period of time was 'physical fatigue caused by continuous battles', and Rijkaard could only explain it the same, otherwise how dare he not let Zhuo Yang start in such an important top 10 match.
The day after tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve of 2009, and in this approaching time of the Chinese New Year, the Chinese team will face Australia, the old rival of the top 20 group stage in the Asian region.
The 10 teams in the Asian Top 10 are divided into two groups, each with 10 rounds of home and away matches, and one team has a bye in each round. In Group A, Australia, Japan, and Bau, before the game, Chinese and foreign media agreed that it would be the top three of China, Japan and Australia, and these three were competing for the top three positions, and Bahrain and Uzbekistan belonged to the spoilers of soy sauce. The media can put China and Japan and Australia alongside, just because the Chinese team has Zhuo Yang, otherwise it will become a group A melon eater.
In the first three rounds of Group A, the top three of China, Japan and Australia have a bye and only play two games at a time, the Japanese team is currently at the top of the list with two wins, and the Chinese team has one win and one draw with Bahrain who has played three games with 4 points, followed by Australia who lost to Japan in the last round and 3 points, and Uzbekistan lost all three games.
Australia's defeat to Japan in Yokohama in the last round was understandable, with Colwill, Bresciano, Guerrera and Valery missing a number of big players due to injury, while Japan's five players in Europe were fully staffed. But even so, Australia still had the advantage on the field, and Japan only won in the 86th minute of the game when the ball hit the leg of teammate Keiji Tamada and refracted into the net by full-back Makoto Hasebe, who plays for Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga.
The Australian team that came to Xi'an today, not only did the above four players all return from injury, but Cahill, who has been absent for half a year due to injury, also returned in time, compared with the top 20 match in Sydney last September, Australia's starting lineup has changed ten people, only Colwill still has the same face.
In that game, Australia went through the motions without desire, but today it was a battle of brave men who could step on one by one. Kangaroo Legion, the comer is not good.
Australian head coach Pym Welbeck, a Dutchman, is 53 years old and is Rijkaard's predecessor both as a player and as a coach. However, he used to be a very well-known assistant coach in Dutch football, and his starting point was not as high as that of Jieshuai. Welbeck, who has assisted Guus Hiddink and Advocaat, has long been the head assistant coach of the South Korean national team coaching staff and knows Asian football very well. After the 2006 World Cup, with Advocaat stepping down, Welbeck finally moved from behind the scenes to the front and picked up Australia's coaching whip.
Welbeck has been almost stubborn in setting up a 4-2-3-1 counter-attacking style of play for Australia, and don't think that if he is a Dutch coach, he will get carried away with attack, but Jay has always believed in attack.
Of course, Jie Shuai is not so frivolous, his horizons are much broader than Welbeck, and it is a last resort to let the Chinese team adopt the active offensive posture of the midfield, because in terms of the current defensive position and ability of Chinese football, the defense must not be able to hold. In the face of the Asian powers, Shou may be able to keep one or two decent victories, but he will definitely not be able to keep a place in the World Cup.
Welbeck is very detail-oriented, he knows the Chinese team very well before the game, in his opinion, although the strength of the Chinese team without Zhuo Yang has dropped a lot, it is by no means good at the same time, especially at home, the strength of the Chinese team can not be ignored.
However, because Jie Shuai was disturbed by Zhuo Yang's problem, he did not do his homework too well before the game, and he underestimated Australia's resolute defensive counterattack in Xi'an. As a result, the first half fell into the rhythm of Australia.
In the 30th minute of the game, Rijkaard stood on the sidelines in an Armani coat, shouting something at the pitch from time to time. He yelled again, and the interpreter next to him also learned his movements and tone to yell again, which looked quite funny. But none of the 60,000 fans in the stadium found it funny, and they were anxiously calling Zhuo Yang's name.
Zhuo Yang nestled in the bench, frowning. Suddenly, without consulting anyone, he took off his team coat and walked out of the bench to start warming up. At this time, the huge LCD screen in the south stand of St. Suzaku showed the score - China 0:2 Australia.
