The Toulon Cup is a 'French Invitational Tournament' held every year, and the gold content of the event is still relatively high.

European participating countries, the Toulon Cup is called the 'cradle of stars', the event is still more important, every Toulon Cup will focus on, especially the professional clubs, Toulon Cup players, most of them are about 20 years old, can be said to have huge growth potential, as long as the players perform well, they have a chance to become famous.

This year's Toulon Cup, the Chinese official is also very concerned, the reason is very simple-

The Chinese Olympic team participated.

Next year's capital Olympics is the general direction, the performance of the national Olympic team is very important, the Chinese Football Association is to use the Toulon Cup, as a place for the national Olympic team to train, the national Olympic team performed well, which is of great help to boost morale.

In terms of publicity, CCTV will broadcast the game live.

Some domestic sports websites have also made special reports for the Toulon Cup, and they will make detailed reports on domestic fans every day and every hour.

Zhen Shaolong joined the Chinese Olympic team and participated in the Toulon Cup, which also played an important role in publicity, as recognized as 'China's No. 1 striker' and even 'China's No. 1 star', Chinese fans are very concerned about Zhen Shaolong.

Chinese fans are disappointed with the performance of the national team, even if it is a game of the national team, they are only 'selectively watching', not to mention the 'Toulon Cup' in which the national Olympic team participates, but because of Zhen Shaolong's participation, Chinese fans suddenly have confidence in the game, and the comments on some websites can be seen -

"With Zhen Shaolong joining the National Olympic team, you can set your sights on the top four!"

"No, the goal should be the champion!"

"I paid attention to it, this national Olympic team is already very strong, and the results have always been good, so it should be no problem to qualify from the group."

"There is a sworn enemy Portugal in the group, it depends on how the first game goes!"

"I believe that with Zhen Shaolong here, the results can definitely be expected!"

“……”

As the event is about to begin, there are more and more media interviews.

At noon on the first day of warm-up training for the Chinese Olympic team, head coach Duisevic accepted a live interview with CCTV, which interviewed key issues, and the first question was related to the lineup.

The number of players in the national Olympic team led by Duisevic is only 21, and there are even three vacant places, and the reporter's question is, "Compared with the Asian Games in Doha, the players you brought to Toulon this time don't seem to have a very high gold content?" ”

Dujshevic smiled helplessly, saying, "In terms of personnel coordination, I think not only me, but any coach is relatively passive. Actually, I think the current situation is already good, because Zhen Shaolong has entered the team, and his arrival has greatly strengthened our strength. ”

"With the Asian Cup this year, we will definitely support the national team unconditionally to prepare for the competition."

"In addition, the A3 League, Lu Neng and Shenhua's National Olympic players, except for Wang Hongliang, the others stayed in China to participate in this competition, I understand very well the importance of the Chinese Football Association and these two clubs to this competition, you must know that the A3 League is related to the status of Chinese teams in East Asian football."

This is also the helplessness of Duisevich.

When negotiating contracts and treatment with the Football Association, the Football Association said that all resources would support the National Olympic team, but in fact, when it came to the event stage, the national team led by Zhu Guanghu had the first priority.

Duisevich also looked forward to the forward line of Dong Fangbiao and Zhen Shaolong's partner, which can definitely be said to have swept all opponents, but it can only be said that it is good luck to have a Zhen Shaolong, Dong Fangbiao was called into the national team to play as a substitute.

If you coach in a football powerhouse, it doesn't matter if there are ten 'national brands', China is a weak football country, the number of registered professional players is extremely limited, and most of the young players registered in various league clubs cannot play in the domestic league, so how easy is it to find potential young players?

Twenty-one!

I can't find any more!

Then the reporter asked: "What kind of requirements do you have for the players who participate in the Toulon Cup?" ”

Dujšević replied, "Quite simply, I hope they will cherish the opportunity to participate in the Toulon Cup, and they should know that if it weren't for the national team training camp and the A3 league, some of them might not have been able to go to Toulon." ”

"Now that they've got such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show themselves, I hope they can take it."

"I don't put too much pressure on the kids in terms of the process or the result, and if you look at the 20-man roster, you can see that some of the players haven't even played for the Olympic team in an official international competition......

After Duisevic answered several questions in a row, the reporter also asked the most critical question and the most concerned question of the fans, "What is the goal of the national Olympic team?" What do you think the team can achieve? ”

Dujshevic said confidently, "Even though our team is the last to come, I expect us to be the last to leave. ”

"France is a blessed place for our team, it was here that we completed the initial construction in January, my attacking philosophy on the wing, my tactical thinking is fully implemented in France. I hope that this place will continue to bring us good luck. ”

Dujshevic's answer can be understood as 'pointing to the final', which made the reporters listen with confidence and feel that the national Olympic team can really get good results.

The reporter finished the interview but did not send back the report immediately because there was an important person who had not yet been interviewed.

That's Zhen Shaolong!

Duisevic is the head coach of the National Olympic team, and the weight of the interview is still very large, but fans prefer to see Zhen Shaolong's interview, because Zhen Shaolong is the most popular.

Soon interviewed reporters, it became clear that Zhen Shaolong is not only popular in China, but also seems to be even more popular abroad.

When the afternoon training of the National Olympic team is over, the reporters waiting for an interview outside the training ground can be described as a sea of people, and there are more than 100 people at a cursory glance.

Among them were colleagues from China, as well as local French journalists, some German journalists, and a large number of British journalists.

As soon as the spokesperson of the national Olympic team walked out, he was immediately surrounded --

"I'm a reporter from "Picture Package", and I want to interview Zhen Shaolong!"

"Can you let Zhen Shaolong come out, I am a reporter from The Guardian, and I want to do a brief interview with him."

"How to apply for a special interview with Zhen Shaolong? I'm from Newcastle ......"

“……”

One by one, reporters swarmed up, forcing the press officer to hurriedly retreat, and communicated with the coaches, team leaders, officials, and Zhen Shaolong himself, but only the reporters of Central TV were given a simple interview time.

The reporter of CCTV, standing in the crowd of peers, suddenly felt that he had earned enough face, walked in with a high spirit, and finally interviewed Zhen Shaolong.

As soon as Zhen Shaolong walked off the training ground, he and Duisevic stood together, waiting for an interview with CCTV.

The reporter asked a few formal questions, including the state of the national Olympic team, how the team felt about training, and their views on the event, and finally asked the same question, "What kind of results do you think the team can achieve?" ”

"Champion!"

Zhen Shaolong replied categorically, "There is no doubt about this, our goal can only be the champion!" ”

The reporter was a little speechless and didn't know what to say.

Duisevich said that the goal is to 'point to the final', which gives people the feeling of being very confident, Zhen Shaolong directly said that he was the champion, why does it feel a little fake?

China...... Champion?

It's football, not table tennis......

The reporter changed his question, "What do you think of the group stage, such as the opponent in the first game, the Portuguese team, the Portuguese team is considered the old enemy of the Chinese Olympic team......

Zhen Shaolong shook his head and said, "I don't know what the history of the battle is, and I am not interested in knowing, but my teammates and I are confident that we can defeat any opponent, if you just talk about the first game, I think the difference is only ......."

"How many balls can you win?"

"I guess we can win two, and if we defend well, maybe we can win more......"

When Zhen Shaolong said this, he immediately shouted at the camera, "Dear fans, believe me!" We're going to win, it's easy! Everyone must tune in to support the live broadcast! ”

“……”

The reporter couldn't help but look at Duisevic, because she didn't understand at all, where did Zhen Shaolong's self-confidence come from, even if he was a top star, but football is a team sport, and the role of a star should be limited, right?

Duyshevic's face was expressionless.

Reason: He didn't understand.

Because the translator next to him is not there, Zhen Shaolong speaks Chinese, he is a Serb, what else can he do in addition to standing next to the scene?

He was so dazed!

————

Zhen Shaolong's victory speech made domestic fans boil.

When did Chinese football dare to say that it would win?

No.

The most interesting slogan of Chinese football is 'a draw is a victory', and perhaps occasionally encountering small Asian teams, such as the Maldives, may also talk about 'victory', but after being slapped in the face again and again, fans don't believe it.

But......

Whether the words spoken are trusted or not also depends on who speaks.

As a recognized world-class star, Zhen Shaolong has a lot of weight when he says it, and it also makes fans look forward to it, so there are a huge number of fans who have expectations for the 'must-win' game, and they are also ready to watch the live broadcast of the game in time.

Every fan wants to see how the Chinese Olympic team is 'bound to win'.

Soon the first game began.

————

The Chinese Olympic team only had two days of training in Toulon, France, and ushered in the first game of the group stage, playing against the Portuguese team, the "bitter host of the national Olympic team".

Since 1998, the Olympic team has played Toulon four times, played against Portugal 5 times, and the Olympic team won 1, drew 2 and lost 2, scored 2 goals and conceded 4 goals.

In the 1998 and 2006 Toulon Cup, the Olympic team fought Portugal twice, and lost the third place in the two competitions with their opponents.

In the group of the national Olympic team, Portugal is also an opponent that must be faced, the first game can be said to be 'qualifying for the life and death battle', winning the game is no problem to qualify, losing the game to qualify, you must win the next two games, the difficulty coefficient will naturally increase a lot.

Dujshevic was also cautious about the game, and the question he repeatedly stressed before the game was, "Speed of retraction!" ”

"Every attack must ensure the speed of retraction! Don't give them time to take advantage of the quick transition and take advantage of the opportunity to penetrate our defensive line. ”

Then the national Olympic team played.

From the perspective of the camera lens, each of the Olympic players is confident, and the spirit they show is very good, when the young players stand in a row on the court, the camera gives everyone a close-up from left to right.

Everyone stood straight.

Everyone was in good spirits.

Until Zhen Shaolong, who was standing on the far right, the atmosphere of the picture was suddenly a little embarrassing, because after Zhen Shaolong shook hands with the opposing player, he didn't seem to have come to his senses, and he grew up and yawned high.

The live broadcast commentators said embarrassedly, "Probably Zhen Shaolong has not adjusted a little, in the past week, he returned to China from Germany, and then came to France from China, and the jet lag twice consumed a lot of ...... body."

Zhen Shaolong didn't know that he could be found out for so many reasons with a yawn.

He was depressed.

When he came to the playing field, the Portuguese players on the opposite side looked at him one by one, as if he was some rare treasure, and it didn't feel good to be the focus, he preferred to score goals in a low-key manner, score goals silently, and preferably no one paid attention to him.

Pity......

That's in the past.

Of course, Zhen Shaolong knows the reason, that is, he is the most famous on the field, and he is a popular figure in the summer, and when he comes to the Toulon Cup, he will naturally attract the attention of his opponents.

In addition to the coach's emphasis on attention, goalkeeper Fil Guelas also repeated with his teammates, "You must pay attention to defending him!" ”

"Got it!"

"Definitely!"

"He's the biggest card!"

Finally the game begins.

The national Olympic team took advantage of the right to kick off and after passing three or two feet, they attacked towards the Portuguese half.

Wing Yu Hai is another turtle in the national Olympic team in addition to Zhen Shaolong, he plays for Arnhemvites in the Netherlands and is a very fast winger.

Yu Hai used his speed to directly pass the Portuguese side defense, and then handed a straight pass to Chen Zetao in the middle, Chen Zetao glanced ahead, and made a gesture to break forward, but in fact, he pushed the ball to the right front.

There is Zhen Shaolong!

Zhen Shaolong ran forward at the beginning, and after reaching the front of the formation, he found that he overestimated Portugal, and the opponent did not pay much attention to his marking, just a defender, running around normally.

He stuck his position first, turned around and received the ball.

At the front of the penalty area, the general player receives the ball with his back to the goal, and will kick back or cross horizontally to cooperate with his teammates, but Zhen Shaolong found that the opponent's defense was not tight, so he tentatively kicked sideways, and then directly followed and turned around-

Volley!

If you know Zhen Shaolong's fans, they will think that it is normal to have free time to shoot.

Portugal didn't know much about Zhen Shaolong, especially the defender, and even sat back and watched Zhen Shaolong turn around and hit the goal, perhaps because he felt that the chances of scoring a goal were not very good.

The next moment he regretted it.

The ball passed under the feet of two players in the penalty area and rolled against the turf to the bottom left corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Fergueiras had no time to do anything but watch the ball fly into the goal.

This was followed by the commentator's excited shout, "The ball is in!" Zhen Shaolong! ”

"Only one minute after the opening, Zhen Shaolong took advantage of the strong shot in front of the penalty area and scored the first goal of the Toulon Cup!"

"One to zero!"

"The Chinese team is ahead of the Portuguese team!"
