Chapter 475: Captain's Armband and Doubtful IQ
The main opponent of the Chinese Olympic team in the group stage is Belgium.
This is the positioning of the outside world.
China entered the Olympics as the host country and were placed in Group C of the men's Olympic team, along with Brazil, Belgium and New Zealand.
Among them, Brazil is the strongest team.
As five-time World Cup winners, Brazil have not won a single Olympic football gold medal, and their best results in the Olympics have been two silver medals this year, but there is no doubt that the "Samba Army" is strong.
The biggest regret of this Brazilian team is that Kaka was not selected, but the absence of a core Kaka seems to be irrelevant, they have overage players Robinho and Ronaldinho.
The addition of "Double Luo" is enough to support the entire Brazilian lineup.
Other players selected for the Brazilian Olympic team are also quite good, such as Lucas who plays for Liverpool, Anderson who plays for Manchester United, Diego who plays for Bremen, and Pato who plays for AC Milan, etc.
Every player can be said to be a top talent.
Brazil are undoubtedly the strongest team in Group C of the Olympic Games, and they are one of the strongest teams in the entire Olympic Games.
The Chinese Olympic team will compete with the Brazilian team, the chances are too slim, no one thinks that they have a chance to Brazil, because the gap between the two sides is too big.
So it's more realistic to target Belgium.
It's also hard.
Belgium is also quite a strong team,
At the UEFA Youth Championships, Belgium managed to finish in the top four and qualify for the European Youth Championships, joining Serbia, the Netherlands and Italy to advance, and the return of former strong striker D'Mpensa among overage players and the help of Lazio's Mudingaj in midfield.
Belgium's backline is very luxurious, with rookies Donny van der Poray and Vincent Kompany both attracting the attention of Europe.
From the line-ups of Brazil and Belgium, you can see the gold content of Olympic football.
Although because of the age limit, Olympic football can not catch up with the European Cup, can not catch up with the World Cup, but the strength of the football power is still very strong, each of their players can be said to be a talented player in each league, and each Olympic team can also be said to be the national team of each country in a few years.
It is indeed not easy for the Chinese Olympic team to qualify in Group C.
Duisevich believes that if you want to qualify, the preparation in the last month is very crucial, and Zhen Shaolong's personal preparation is the key to the key.
The Chinese team relied on Zhen Shaolong's play.
Not only the Chinese media and fans see it this way, but even foreign media and fans also see it this way, because in the overall lineup of the Chinese team, only Zhen Shaolong is famous.
Another very famous Dong Fangbiao, who has only made two appearances since joining Manchester United, is now almost forgotten.
Other players, including overage players in the Olympic team, have little to talk about.
The fame of a professional player is still very important, because fame also represents strength and performance, and a well-known player must rely on strong strength.
Therefore, in the eyes of other national media, if the Chinese Olympic team wants to perform well, it must rely on Zhen Shaolong's performance.
Within the National Olympic team, Zhen Shaolong is the focus of attention.
His training in each event will be recorded in detail, and when he does tactical training with the team, there will be a special coach to guide him, and the medical team will also care about his physical condition, and will conduct detailed physical examination records every three days to ensure his health.
The training is carried out day by day.
Zhen Shaolong has also improved his tactical coordination in the process of training with the team, and he feels that the most important improvement is to get familiar with his teammates.
When he joined the team before, he couldn't name his teammates because he was not familiar with many of them.
As he gets acquainted, he can tell his teammates what to do.
This is important.
For example, the "Must Kill" skill requires the cooperation of teammates to be the easiest to activate, otherwise it is possible to rely on yourself and not activate the whole game.
Zhen Shaolong's main partner is Dong Fangtable.
Dong Fangping is a Manchester United player, and joining the giants has greatly enhanced his reputation, but his situation is actually not good, because he has not been able to perform at Manchester United for a long time, and he has experienced a major injury last year, which has greatly affected his strength and form.
Zhen Shaolong and Dong Fangtable have talked a lot, both of them play in the Premier League, and there are many topics to talk about when they stay in the UK for a long time.
When he was really familiar with it, Zhen Shaolong also learned about the problem of Dong Fang's table.
The reason why Dong Fangbei's state has declined rapidly is not laziness or anything like that, he has been recuperating from injuries from last year to the beginning of this year.
It was a serious injury.
He would have had a major surgery if he had received regular treatment, but if he had done so, he would have missed the Olympics, and he ended up opting for conservative treatment.
Conservative treatment has a relatively fast recovery speed, but it will leave some hidden dangers of injury.
That's why his form has been declining so quickly.
Zhen Shaolong can only sigh for this, "Injuries are the biggest enemy of professional players!" ”
Fortunately.
He has a plug-in......

In mid-July, the Chinese Olympic team played two consecutive warm-up matches.
These two games are in the spotlight.
Many domestic fans are concerned about the recent situation of the national Olympic team, they hope that the Chinese Olympic team can have an outstanding performance, even if it is just a warm-up game, there are still a lot of fans to support, tickets are on sale only half a day, all have been sold out, it is worth mentioning that among the fans who bought tickets, there are also some foreign fans, they are all to see Zhen Shaolong, only to buy tickets to watch the game.
The domestic fans are very supportive.
Although Chinese football has been criticized in China, in fact, there has always been a lot of support from fans, and many fans say that they do not support the national football team because the results of the national football team are too disappointing.
When there was a glimmer of hope, the fans regained their enthusiasm.
That's it for now.
The Chinese Olympic team is not a national team, but it has always received little support, but when it comes to participating in the Olympic Games, there are still many fans to support.
The two warm-up matches played by the national Olympic team were against Malaysia and Vietnam.
The two games were back-to-back with only one day apart, and the Olympic team was quite strong, scoring 5-0 against Malaysia and five goals against Vietnam, but the opponent also scored two.
5 to 0!
5 to 2!
Although Malaysia and Vietnam are both weak teams, being able to score five goals in one game still shows the strong attacking ability of the national Olympic team.
Zhen Shaolong's performance was the best.
Zhen Shaolong's total game time is 90 minutes, and the two warm-up games are in the first half, and he has scored two goals, with an average of one goal in more than 20 minutes, and he can't help but feel the amazing efficiency in front of goal.
Although the National Olympic team has scored a lot of goals, but in fact, there are many problems, and an obvious problem is that when Zhen Shaolong is on the field, the overall performance of the National Olympic team is very good, and Zhen Shaolong is not on the field, and the performance of the National Olympic team is relatively weak.
This is where people smile wryly.
It's not just Zhen Shaolong's personal performance, his appearance seems to have affected the entire National Olympic team, when he was on the field, the National Olympic team was very combative, and after he walked off the court, the National Olympic team lost its fighting spirit and gradually degenerated into mediocrity.
Many media reports say this -
"Zhen Shaolong is the spiritual pillar of the National Olympic team, with Zhen Shaolong's National Olympic team, other players will be very confident, there is a goal machine in the frontcourt, they think they can easily beat the opponent!"
"On the contrary, when Zhen Shaolong walked off the court, the players of the national Olympic team seemed to have lost confidence, they probably felt that it was more difficult to score goals, and the overall performance was a little worse......"
The coaching staff of the national Olympic team has also noticed this problem.
After the match against Vietnam, Duisevic came forward and publicly criticized several players, including overage player Li Weifeng, who scored a goal for Li Weifeng's mistake.
After that, Zheng Zhi found Duisevich, and the two went into the office to chat alone.
Few people know what Zheng Zhi and Duisevich said, but when the two came back, they saw Zheng Zhi holding the captain's armband and handing it to Zhen Shaolong seriously.
That kind of serious attitude is like a handover ceremony of the jade seal of the country.
“——??”
Zhen Shaolong looked at Zheng Zhi with some surprise, but didn't react to what he was going to do.
Dujshevic explained solemnly, "Zheng Zhi thinks that you should be the captain even more. Your performance is related to the performance of the team, you are the most central player, and I am sure no one will object to you being the captain! ”
“……”
Everyone else stared at Zhen Shaolong, and many of them also nodded.
Most of the players of the National Olympic team take it for granted that Zhen Shaolong is the captain, because he is the most famous, he has the best performance, and he is the most core player in the team.
Even if Zhen Shaolong doesn't do anything, just standing in the front court, he can attract a lot of attention and make them full of confidence.
But.
There is still opposition.
Zhen Shaolong himself raised his hand weakly and continued to ask weakly, "Shouldn't I be the captain?" I've never been a captain, and I don't know what the captain wants to do. ”
"You don't have to do anything." Duisevic said, "There are other people in the middle and back, you just have to play normally......"
"Then I want to ask, is there any benefit to being a captain?"
"Benefits?"
Everyone else looked at it, obviously not comprehensible.
"That's right!" Zhen Shaolong said as a matter of course, "I think it's very stressful to be the captain!" What spiritual pillar, what command of the game? If you lose, will you still have to bear some responsibility? ”
"So being a captain should be good too, right?"
"What do you mean?" Duisevich asked in complete confusion.
"Like, does the captain have any rights? I wish I could come later in the morning and go back early in the afternoon to rest, after all, my vacation is spent on training......"
"No way!"
Before Zhen Shaolong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Duisevich.
"Okay!"
Zhen Shaolong shook his head a little helplessly, "What about the others?" I've always liked it, the food cooked by my assistant, the food at the training base was just unpalatable......"
He said with pain on his face.
"You have to be with other people, and you have to eat according to the rules!" Dujshevich said solemnly.
"What about the lineup? This right is not bad, whoever has a good relationship with me, I will let whoever plays......"
"That's my job."
Duisevich wanted to cry a little when he heard it.
Zhen Shaolong said helplessly, "It's not okay to be a captain, it's not okay to be a captain, it's not good to have any privileges at all, only pressure and work." Then this captain ......" he decisively put the captain's armband back in Zheng Zhi's hand, "Brother Zheng, you should be it!" I don't like this kind of thing that only has bad and no good. ”
“……”
Duyshevich was stunned.
“……”
The others were stunned.
“……”
Zheng Zhi was also stunned.
Zheng Zhi looked at the captain's armband in his hand, thinking about what Zhen Shaolong said just now, it really makes sense to pay him back!
Being a captain has only disadvantages and no benefits, so why be a captain?
He suddenly questioned his IQ.
