Chapter 181: I'm here to play a supporting role for U23 (second update)

After China's first victory, Lu came to join the younger brothers and took part in training and tactical analysis sessions the next day. In the training, Lu Zhuhu leads by example in everything and does not engage in specialization.

'I watched the first game and everyone was doing well – the best way to get a quick advantage and score goals is to use your body to your advantage, that's right. I'm happy for you, but-" When looking back at the video, Lu Zhuhu was blunt about the team's current problems: "Our handling method is not perfect and smooth, look at this time-in the backfield, Liu Yiming's pass to Gao Zhunyi is not in place, and after he gets the ball, the opposite player immediately comes up to stick to the defense and intercepts the forward passing route - Xiao Gao has no chance but to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper, which will delay the fighter!" ”

"There are still a lot of problems on the ground. In the half, the midfield and the ribs can't do both left and right - although there are many people in the left half, they are all standing dead, how can they continue to penetrate forward and vertically? On the other side, Xiao Yao was still near the middle line in the half, and he was completely out of touch with the front court! What the hell, little brother! ”

"In the attack, we pressed very forward, especially the two wings, almost for a long time in the opponent's half, but if we can't produce a positive effect in the positional attack, then the unsuccessful attack and too many mistakes will continue to give the opponent the opportunity to counterattack, and the backfield, especially the space behind the two full-backs, is very dangerous......"

Lu Zhuhu chattered and talked non-stop, so that the faces of the other players gradually calmed down from excitement at first, and then to shame - as if they had lost not a big victory. noticed that Lu Zhuhu said "we", as if he also had to share these faults together, and did not deliberately belittle the young players to establish himself for himself, which still made the players feel better.

But Lu Zhuhu knows that if there is a problem, it really has to be raised sharply at this time - once the team loses, and then divide the pot with everyone, who will have the heart to listen?

Chinese football seems to have been failing in the past, but after the failure, it has not reflected on it properly, so that the same mistakes keep repeating.

The addition of Lu Zhuhu seems to be a high-level sparring partner, and it seems to be a strict "monitor", so that the players who are in the midst of praise from fans and the media dare not flutter.

At 20:00 on the evening of August 16, in the second round of Group C of the men's football group stage of the Asian Games, China U23 played against Syria U23.

In this game, the Chinese team continued the strong performance of the previous game, and there were significant improvements in some issues.

After the start of the first half, Chen Binbin, who had an amazing performance in the World Cup, repeatedly created threats, which seemed to have verified the potential of Chinese fans who boasted of his potential at that time.

Indeed, in the 40th minute before the end of the half, Chen Binbin sent a wonderful cross to the penalty area on the right side in front of the penalty area, and Wei Shihao, who followed at the back point, scored with a beautiful header! 1-0! It was China U23 who scored the first goal!

In half-time stoppage time, Wei Shihao broke through with the ball in the front court and sent the ball, Zhang Yuning in the middle made a wonderful performance of man-ball sharing, and then directly followed up with an ultra-long-distance hanging shot world wave to score! 2-0! China U23 extends their lead to two goals!

This goal was indeed quite exciting, and even the captain of the land team who was sitting on the bench on the sidelines stood up and applauded again and again, thinking that it was very enjoyable.

In the 66th minute of halftime back, the opponent's defender made a mistake in front of the goal under the interference of Zhang Yuning's compulsion, and Chen Binbin on the right side of the penalty area directly followed up with a shot to score! 3-0!

The lead extends to three goals!

The three players assisted each other to finish the goal and get the perfect result.

Lu spent most of his time chatting with Madaloni on the sidelines, and the team acted like a world champion reserve without losing face. In the end, Lu Zhuhu also played less than 20 minutes, but did not shoot on goal, and was seeking cooperation with his little brothers to create opportunities for them. Lu Zhuhu did not break his promise, he said before the game that he was here to play a supporting role for the little brothers, and he would not dominate the guests.

In the end, the Chinese U23 men's football team defeated Syria U23 3-0, and the Chinese U23 group, which won both games, qualified one round ahead of schedule - it can already prepare in advance for the opponents it may encounter next.

In fact, with the current momentum of the Chinese team, only others avoid it, and there is no situation where you want any opponent - if you want to win the championship, you have to step on everyone's corpses.

On the other hand, Sun Qiuwang's luck does not seem to be very good.

On the evening of August 17, South Korea played in the second round of the group stage, and Son Heung-min made his debut in the Asian Games. In an interview before the game, he also responded to the comparison with Lu Zhuhu, the match between the South Korean team and the Chinese team, saying that this is "healthy competition" and "can improve the level of Asia", but others think that Sun Qiuwang is not good and scolded Lu someone half to death in private, which is clearly aimed at Lao Tzu!

Captain Lu had a good attitude, and Sun Qiuwang was also unequivocal, and said very "modestly": "Just like we beat the German team in the World Cup-" What's the matter, if the Chinese team can win the German team, we can too!"

After vaguely boasting about his team, he said: "Of course, our South Korean team may also be the side that will be upset and lose in the Asian Games." Therefore, all the players should not take it lightly and give it their all. ”

Outcome......

Unfortunately!

The South Korean team was a big upset in the second round of the group stage, losing 1-2 to Malaysia, sending the opponent to the group one round ahead of schedule!

In the first round, South Korea defeated Bahrain 6-0 and has entered the round of 16 with one foot. Against Malaysia, I thought South Korea would win easily and break through from the group ahead of schedule. Malaysia got off to a dream start in just five minutes, and before half-time, Rashid, who scored the opening goal, scored twice to extend the score to 2-0. Even in the second half, Son came off the bench to no avail, although another overage player, Hwang Yi-su, helped South Korea pull one back, but South Korea still lost.

This made many fans suspect that South Korea deliberately released water: in order to avoid facing the Chinese team too early in the knockout round, choose the other half - why do you bother so much?

However, what is even more "painful" is that South Korea lost to Malaysia, either deliberately avoiding China, or it couldn't beat Malaysia......

Burst......

It can be seen from the second half of the game that it was not match-fixing, the South Korean team has done their best, and the players have done their best. Malaysia can win, the key lies in the tactical opponent, the bus, the grass, there are a lot of the same. Sun Qiuwang tried his best, but there was nothing he could do.

South Korea's qualification from the group was not a problem, but the defeat to the little-known Malaysia in the group stage raised doubts about their victory in this Asian Games......

It is also worth mentioning that Malaysia, which China U23 just won 2-1 in the warm-up match, is more popular than others......
