Mai Shaohan looks a bit like Jackie Chan's second brother Yuan Hua when he was young (that is, the charter man who played "Kung Fu"), 1.7 meters tall, weighs 62 kilograms, and is born at right-back, but he can also play on the left. What makes Lu Zhuhu even more fond is that he can also play as a right insider, which means that he has a certain offensive ability, and being able to attack and defend is a very valued ability among modern football fullbacks, and the right side of Brazilian Alves and the left side of Marcelo are often the starting point of the team's attack. So although Lu Zhuhu only considered him because he was a substitute and had less playing time, to be honest, his characteristics are actually very much in line with the future trend.

Another substitute defender, Cai Wenli, is strong in defense, but as mentioned above, he is also an excellent track and field athlete, and with his speed advantage, he also has room for improvement.

While continuing to train on the ship, Lu Zhuhu told Cai Wenli, Zhang Xianyuan, Mak Shaohan, and Zhou Xianyan about his idea of experimenting with the new formation - of course, he would definitely not say that it was because he wanted to rebuild a team with himself as the core, but just said that everyone had more time anyway, but to do something new to play. And it won't take up too much of everyone's time, usually play and train under the existing style of play, and if the new formation is effective, it will be strengthened more deeply. Naturally, he also told them about the merits of a back three, and how tactical innovation is now developing in European football.

When Mak and Tsai heard that their own characteristics were very important in the formation that Lu Zhuhu had said, and that they could help them become better, they both expressed a certain amount of interest, and said that after arriving in Medan, they might as well try Lu Zhuhu's idea. Zhang Xianyuan is in the national team, and the best cooperation with him is Lu Zhuhu, and he also feels very novel about some of his whimsical ideas in the game, so he naturally agrees.

Strongly supported by Zhou Xianyan - the third goalkeeper is bitter, the boss is not up, there is a second child, and there are too few opportunities to play. Moreover, he is most interested in and most identified with the new formation that Lu Zhuhu "created" in Fudan. After all, he himself experienced a fiasco against Fudan University. He has always wanted to continue to explore why Lu Zhuhu's stunned young man, who guided Fudan for only a few months, was able to defeat his mentor with a devastating momentum, the former national team goalkeeper Zhou Jiaqi's Jiaotong University, what magic is the formation boasted by Fudan. Anyway, he's a goalkeeper, so just watch a good show.

During the two-day voyage, Lu Zhuhu took the time to draw a tactical board for them and explain the technical details to be paid attention to under the new formation. As if it were a matter of fact, everyone's interest in the first trial after landing has increased.

However, a little bad news is that the last time I faced the Batavia champion team Ambon Youth, because the opponent was too rough, the referee did not blow the goalkeeper strictly, Huang Jiliang was injured in the opponent's brute force, and his waist and back were injured, and he thought it would be good to rest for a few days, but he did not play in these days, but after getting on the boat, the injury at sea has a tendency to worsen, and all teammates feel sorry for him.

At noon on 9 June, the Chinese steamer arrived at the wharf in Medan and was warmly welcomed by hundreds of consuls in Medan and representatives of overseas Chinese organizations. Medan is the largest city in Sumatra in the East Indies and the capital of North Sumatra province. The number of Chinese accounts for more than one-fifth of the total population, so it is a stop where the Chinese team can get a good reception, and the Chinese flavor is much stronger than before in the capital Batavia, and the Chinese here basically think that their ancestral home is Quanzhou, Fujian, but because they have been here for too many generations, they no longer know where they came from. If you talk nonsense to them, it is estimated that it will be pulled back to the year when Zheng He went to the West...... But it's quite kind, they all speak Hokkien, and some also speak what they think is an "official dialect", a little with a southern accent, which is very cute.

Despite arriving at their destination at noon, the team still went to the pitch for some light acclimatization. After the routine training, Lu Zhuhu also secretly called his small gang and promoted his WM formation for the first time in the national team. Xiaohua and Xiao Dong's two students also put on gorgeous falcon sneakers, and several people conducted a half-time offensive and defensive drill. Lu Zhuhu, Zhang Xianyuan, and Xiaohua attacked, and Mai Shaohan, Xiao Dong, and Cai Wenli defended. Because it was just a simulation, to find a feeling for the two "Mai Cai" who played three defenders for the first time, Lu Zhuhu and Zhang Xianyuan did not really attack, but Mai Shaohan and Cai Wenli stayed under the two-guard system for a long time, and they were not very suitable for the set of "offside" tactics that Lu Zhuhu was used to, and they were unsuccessful several times. And Xiao Dong's familiarity with this tactic makes the two national team veterans a little impressed, and they all know that the two students may not be able to compete with their big guys, but Xiao Dong, who is in the central defender position, can indeed play the meaning of four or two thousand pounds, this position is completely designed for the new offside rules, and it seems that there is indeed a bit of a doorway inside. After the two bigwigs "cooperated" with Xiao Dong and finally came up with something, several people also ended the first attempt of the day. More people will be added tomorrow to carry out the half-time offensive and defensive drills.

Early the next morning, the team's No. 2 goalkeeper Huang Jiliang suddenly received a letter from home, saying that his wife was suddenly sick at home in Guangzhou, and it was not light. Originally, when everyone went abroad, Huang Jiliang's wife was already pregnant, and she was already very worried, but now she was sick again, which made him very worried about his wife's condition, and his own back injury was also very serious, and he really couldn't play in the near future. He could only ask the team leader Rong Qizhao for leave to go home to visit. All his teammates were understanding of his situation, and they said that they would bear it with him no matter what difficulties he encountered.

Huang Jiliang was naturally very moved, and he said that next month he will set off with the other athlete delegations of the Chinese World Games to the last leg of the training, Mumbai, India, to join the national team.

The attrition of injuries has dealt a big blow to the team. In history, because of Huang Jiliang's departure, the Chinese team could only rely on the main goalkeeper Bao Jiaping to play with all his strength in the subsequent games, which also made him tired and accumulated some injuries, which affected the state after arriving in Berlin.

But fortunately, because of Lu Zhuhu's stubbornness, he had to bring three goalkeepers, and squeezed out a striker spot, and finally brought Zhou Xianyan, so Bao Jiaping finally had a backup - although Zhou Xianyan at this time still did not recover to the level it should have, it was enough to make his teammates feel great comfort. Those dissatisfaction with Lu Zhuhu's forcible stuffing of people no longer existed after Huang Jiliang left.

On the way back from seeing off Huang Jiliang back to China, Li Huitang patted Lu Zhuhu's shoulder with some emotion and sighed: "Po Yu, this time - you saved the team again!" ”
