Chapter 78: You Can't Kick Football
The heads-up of Lu Feng and Lin Hai has become a scenery on the national youth team every evening. Lu Feng and Lin Hai are both top-notch players in the national youth team, and the duel between them naturally attracted countless teammates to watch. However, what made Lu Feng feel very unhappy was that he basically lost in the duel with Lin Hai.
There is no way to do this, the land breeze can pass the forest sea seven times out of ten, and the forest sea can pass the land breeze nine times out of ten. Lu Feng's defensive ability is really poor.
After three days of training, the national youth team ushered in its first game, the warm-up match against the United Arab Emirates.
The training and competition of this training camp are all for the training of the Asian Youth Championships in the second half of the year. In the Asian Youth Championship qualifiers, although Lu Feng was not selected for the national youth team, the national youth team still easily entered the finals.
The Asian Youth Championships is not only an honor, but also represents the final quota of next year's World Youth Championships, which is naturally worth paying attention to.
This national youth team, due to the departure of some people and the joining of others, is still in the run-in stage. Therefore, the opponents in the warm-up game did not arrange stronger opponents.
There are three matches in total, namely the United Arab Emirates, Vietnam and the Czech Republic.
The UAE has seen a significant decline in football in recent years, and is no longer a dark horse in Asia. And Vietnam, not to mention, has always been a belly team. Since the last century, the strength of the Czech team has been declining, and although there are occasional stars, it is an indisputable fact that the overall level of football has declined.
Therefore, if nothing else, the national youth team can still win all three games.
The first match against the UAE was held at the CD Olympic Centre. Because it is a national brand competition, the enthusiasm of the audience is still very high, and there are few vacant seats in the venue of more than 70,000 people.
After a few days of training and observation, the main members of the national youth team have become quite obvious. The starting 11 people, including Lu Feng and Lin Hai without exception. Among the members of the original Sainty Youth Team, 4 people entered the starting list, which shows the strength of the Sainty Youth Team at the beginning.
In today's game, Su Linqi and Du Yan also sat in the audience. This undoubtedly greatly encouraged Lu Feng and Lin Hai, who doesn't want to express themselves to the greatest extent in front of their beloved.
In addition, this is Lu Feng's first time representing the national team, and Lu Feng can't let himself lose this game.
..
The UAE has a poor record of the national team in the past two years, and there is a shortage of domestic football talent. The strength of this UAE youth team is indeed much worse than that of the Chinese national youth team.
At the beginning of the game, the UAE team took advantage of the slow start of the Chinese team to enter the state, but still launched several dangerous attacks.
However, while Lu Feng is improving, his peers will not stop.
The members of the original Shuntian youth team, after winning the championship of the Evergrande Cup, naturally attracted the attention of many teams at home and abroad. Many players have left Sainty and joined other teams. That one of Shuntian's most outstanding youth training results, there are few people left in Shuntian.
There are even a few players who have joined foreign clubs and have made good progress.
Xu Yang, the main goalkeeper of the former Shuntian Youth Team, is also one of them. After leaving the Sainty Youth Team, he is now the main player in a team in the Central League. At the beginning of the game, the UAE team had several dangerous attacks, but none of them threatened the goal he was guarding.
Lu Feng couldn't help but look at Xu Yang with admiration, but he didn't expect to see Xu Yang for a few months, Xu Yang was more mature, and his goalline skills had improved in a way that he could see.
After the Chinese team entered the game, the UAE played a defensive counterattack. Although the current UAE youth team is not as strong as China's, their head coach Sigra is also ambitious.
This Chinese national youth team is known as the "diamond generation" by the Chinese, and there are well-known players like Lu Feng. If Sigra's UAE youth team can beat this Chinese national youth team, it will be a great thing for him.
He has always wanted to lead the UAE national team, not a youth team. Although this is just a warm-up game, as long as he defeats this Chinese team, it will definitely be a huge help and bonus point for him to become the coach of the UAE national team.
With the head coach demanding a win, the mentality of the UAE players is understandable, and they want to win this game as well. Even if their strength is inferior to that of Chinese players, however, things on the football field are not necessarily won if they are not strong, otherwise, how could there be so many upsets.
Therefore, although it was a warm-up match, the Emirati players also took it very seriously as if it were an official international competition.
On the other hand, on the Chinese side, the opponent's strength is not as good as its own, and it is an inconsequential warm-up game, and in terms of mentality, the Chinese players have lost.
However, this does not include the land breeze. This is Lu Feng's debut in the national team, Lu Feng naturally hopes to have a good start, it is best to score goals, and if you can't score, at least you have to help the team win.
It's just that it backfired, and Lu Feng played very awkwardly on the field.
The reason why Lu Feng played awkwardly was not because his teammates had any grievances with him and were unwilling to cooperate with him, but because it was difficult for Lu Feng and his teammates to cooperate together.
The rhythm of the game in the Chinese Super League is completely different from the rhythm of the game in Brazil, and the difference in the rhythm of the game has led to a different way of thinking for the players. What's more, there are still many players in this national youth team who are new to joining, and they are already lacking in tacit cooperation.
As a result, such a scene often occurs on the playing field. Lu Feng raised his hand to ask for the ball, but it took a while for the ball to pass to Lu Feng's feet. Or, Lu Feng suddenly stepped forward, but the football did not pass. When the football came, Lu Feng was offside.
After this situation happened several times, Lu Feng was so angry, but he couldn't blame his teammates. After all, it's not that his teammates don't cooperate with him, it's that there is no way to cooperate.
Moreover, after several such mistakes, teammates were not very willing to pass the ball to Lu Feng. Anyway, you are not the only striker on the field, Lu Feng, since there will be a mistake in passing the ball with you, I might as well pass it to someone else.
Lu Feng could only watch very depressedly, Zheng Tao, who was also a striker, got the ball more times and performed personal performances again and again. Besides, Zheng Tao has always resented Lu Feng in his heart, and he usually endures not to have seizures, so he doesn't have so many worries during the game. Directly just don't pass the ball to Lu Feng.
It's not easy to pass it to Lu Feng once, basically when Zheng Tao is helpless by the other party. Moreover, when passing the ball, Zheng Tao did not forget the Yin Lu Feng, and the ball that came out was either small or big. It's either too high, or it makes Lu Feng uncomfortable. is all kinds of difficulties for Lu Feng, so that Lu Feng can't catch the ball well.
After Zheng Tao was caught in the air again, he passed an outrageous ball to Lu Feng, but after Lu Feng tried his best but didn't receive it, Lu Feng finally couldn't help it and rushed directly to Zheng Tao.
"Why don't you know how to play?"
