Uh, Brother Long, what do you think of Boss Guangliang and Lao Tan? After leaving the concentration camp, Lu Zhuhu asked Brother Da Long's opinion about the "non-centrific thoughts" of the group of old teammates in 36 who wanted to fight side by side with him and participate in the World Cup final.

Ning Xiaolong was noncommittal, and when he was in the concentration camp, he also told them, "You can consider it."

"Well, you don't really want to be beautiful, do you?" Lu Zhuhu is a little entangled in his heart, emotionally close, Lu Zhuhu is unwilling to refuse the sincere feelings of his old teammates to serve the country, but based on practical considerations, it is too hasty to do so, and it is child's play.

It's a World Cup final! The most honored, highest-profile competition on the planet!

The semi-finals against the Brazilian team's "all-time all-stars" have a good effect, and they are all the best in recruitment, from the perspective of emotion, momentum, and heritage, there is no need to give up the layout of the semi-finals. It's not that they dislike Old Tan and Second Uncle Feng, and these people are outdated.

Ning Xiaolong said: "I think it's okay to be a substitute lineup. In fact, it is not that others despise them, it may be that you despise them. ”

"Me?"

Ning Xiaolong coughed: "In today's game, we said that we would come to the scene to support, and if we win, they will have a great chance to leave the concentration camp - in the end, the formation of substitute players was discharged, and the team's third and fourth choices were taken, but it was said that they took a big risk, why?" It's that they want to show off in front of us, let us see that even their third team is now far more powerful than the modern ordinary national team. So what is the level of their full workforce? I'm afraid you don't have a clear idea! ”

Lu Zhuhu felt that it seemed to make some sense when he heard it, but he hesitated: "But they also lost 2-7 to those people in 2002 before!" ”

"......" Ning Xiaolong was speechless for a while, and said with a straight face: "There is a tactical arrangement in a game, and there are times when there are mistakes." You can't just watch one game, look at their performance in the league this year, most of the time they have been very stable, and they won 3-1 in the first leg. Just looking at the 05 national team they played, not to mention the individual performance of the players, the tactical literacy has also changed dramatically compared to what I saw when I was in Berlin at that time. ”

"Don't look at this national team that just won and was coached by Zhu, but it is obvious that this is not the national team coached by Zhu that I saw back then, and it has also made great progress in the concentration camp, put it outside the concentration camp, how strong it is, I dare not say, it will definitely be no problem to pass the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup, I dare to say that it is stronger than the team I led before the last World Cup, provided that you didn't come."

"But what about the game? Throughout the first half, the 05 team almost put all their energy on defense after two or three sporadic attacks, because they have been in the concentration camp for so long, and it is clear that the attack of the 36 team is very strong, with as many as 7 attackers in the midfield, so they basically deal with 541, and the two so-called fullbacks Sun Xiang and Cao Yang have not attacked a few times at all, more like two fullbacks, plus Li Weifeng, Zhang Yaokun and Ji Mingyi, the defense line has as many as 5 defenders. Coupled with the desperate defense of two defenders, Zhao Xuri and Li Yan, the overall defensive team has as many as 7 people - it is clear that they are facing it with the attitude of playing one or two less, and they are indeed close in defense, so that the 36 team did not get many shots on goal in the first half. However, due to the overall formation moving back, the midfield was out of control, and the attack of the 36 team was like a storm, and the cooperation between the two wings and the middle was very smooth. Under the pressure of attack, the only real offensive players in the front court of the 05 team were Chen Tao and Xie Hui. Without the support of the two wings of the midfield, the only thing that can threaten the opponent is the set-piece, but unfortunately before Wang Liang came on the field, several corners and free kicks were not of high quality. It's a suicidal style of play, and it's good for them to steal a draw, and it's even better to be ahead. ”

Lu Zhuhu sighed: "I don't want to hear your tactical review, I've seen these too." ”

Ning Xiaolong shrugged: "What I mean is, don't underestimate them, the defensive system of the 352 midfield carefully built by Zhu Gui back then is still a bit of a doorway, and it can stick to Japan, South Korea and North Korea like gummy candy that year, and win the championship obscenely, which shows that although the game is not good-looking, it is not easy to break it." But what about Team 36? It is to press the opposite side with the front line without respite. Before this, they had not used the retro formation for a long time, and this time it could be said that the tactics were very risky and bold, and it could also be said that they were confident that they had an advantage in their individual ability......"

discussed with Lu Zhuhu how they used the different characteristics of the players to divide and disintegrate Zhu's favorite generals, and how to make Zhu's obscenity disappear invisible, looking back, Lu Zhuhu also had to admit that the old Tan Dai and Feng Ershu were indeed different from before.

"Actually, I've been thinking about why this team has become stronger than the teams we are much familiar with later, they have Barcelona Real Madrid warm-up, other national teams also have ah, and they have advanced training venues and sports facilities in concentration camps, and others also have ah, why did they counterattack when they were not as good as physically, technically, age, and philosophy? You can say that Li Huitang, Sun Jinshun, and Zhou Xianyan are the most talented people in their respective positions in the history of the Chinese team, but the game is not played by just one or two people, and what we see is not talent football. Ning Xiaolong patted Lu Zhuhu: "Come to think of it, it's really a factor of academic qualifications!" ”

At present, how high is the education level of Chinese professional football players? Is there a high school on average? Maybe the reality is really cruel. Except for Lu Zhuhu, a "super high-achieving student" who went to a second-rate university in China (of course, he later went to the University of Tokyo to gild), and there are not many people who have even obtained a high school diploma in a formal manner. In the 23-man squad for the World Cup this time, Chi China from Fude is already a special existence - he is a serious "full-time high school graduate"! Although he has loved football since he was a child, he did not give up his studies and chose to study in full-time high school, graduating from Yanbian No. 1 Middle School in the provincial key middle school. After the college entrance examination, he went to some clubs for tryouts, and he was 18 years old at that time. (It's not too late to start with this comparison.) ）

In addition to the two "wonderful" Lu Zhuhu and Chi Zhonghua, most of the players came from professional football schools, how did they learn? Many people have always thought that professional football schools do not pay attention to cultural classes, but in fact, it is not the case, whether it is cultural classes or football classes, the time arrangement of good professional football schools is also reasonable. There is no shortage of language, mathematics, mathematics, physics, chemistry, politics and history, and there are even calligraphy and piano, and the training is very comprehensive. After all, those who can be professional players are trained by "elite families", and there is no shortage of money.

However, you don't usually have to take exams, and even if you pass the exam, it's okay to fail - just like what the style of study is for ordinary college students, they are all very clear.

Students still have to take the high school entrance examination, but those who can get a graduation certificate...... Understood. And the football is up, and there is no shortage of this evidence.

On the other hand, looking at the 36-year-old batch of internationals, the contrast is very large.

First of all, they are also players from major clubs, and there are leagues, cups, and the National Games, the Far Eastern Games, and the Olympics every once in a while.

Then they all obtained academic degrees in the major famous universities at that time.

Zhou Xianyan, Bachelor of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Master of Study in the United States;

Chen Zhenhe, bachelor's degree from Jinan University, graduated from Central Aviation School;

Dai Linjing, Bachelor of Business Administration from Shanghai Jiaotong University, Master of Economics from Jinan University;

Xu Yahui, a bachelor of university, graduated from Guangdong Aviation School......

Even the international players in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Tianjin and other places have graduated from Yau Ma Tei College, Xinxue College and other schools.

Li Huitang is more special in this, he came up from the South China echelon, a bit like the meaning of "football school", but he was also admitted to Huangren College with excellent results, and his English level was already better than that of ordinary college students at the age of 16, not to mention that he was called to Hong Kong by his father from his hometown when he was a child, and invited Xiucai to teach at home, and his Chinese culture literacy is also excellent.

In comparison, Lu Zhuhu can still be uneven, but Lu Zhuhu has not yet obtained a degree because of the delay in playing football. It's not that a high degree is of any use for playing football, otherwise they all go to Qingbei to find a school team to act as a national team. The King of Plum Balls is only high Chinese. Spending too much effort on academics will affect the progress of your skills.

However, when the players came to the concentration camp, the daily routine became a kicking training, and the advantage of the high education of this group of international players in 36 years was revealed, they learned new tactics faster, and even deduced possible tactical innovations in football in the future. A brain that has been trained academically will not slack off on thinking. In contrast, the players who came up from the football school are more like the ancients, who can only stick to the tactics they have seen and heard before, can't keep up with the situation, or play football completely by talent.

When the foreign giants entered the concentration camp to "exchange and study", many of the 36 people in this group could communicate and discuss fluently with the opposing players in English, French, and Spanish, while many other domestic players could not even pass the English test. This point is also very good for the 02 national team, because there are many players who have studied abroad, both English and German.

It is still too young to think that the younger and more knowledgeable you are, you will be better able to adapt to the rapidly changing world.

……

When the Chinese team left St. Petersburg and headed for Moscow, the venue of the final, Brazil and England also came to St. Petersburg to fight for the third place.

Although both sides are giants who have reached the top of the world and do not have too much obsession with the third place, it is still necessary to say goodbye with a victory.

At 22:00 on the evening of July 14, Beijing time, the third and fourth finals of the World Cup were launched at St. Petersburg Stadium, in addition to the suspense of the victory, one of the highlights of this game is the battle for the golden boot between Kane and Lu Zhuhu, both of whom currently lead the scorer list with 7 goals. - Although the captain of the land has played well against the French team every time.

This is the 26th meeting between the two teams, after Brazil had the upper hand with 11 wins, 10 draws and 4 defeats, becoming yet another giant team to dominate the previous record with England. Harry Kane captained the pitch for the Three Lions, while Neymar also started in Brazil. To say that the two sides are not particularly strangers, Coutinho, who has just left Liverpool for half a year, starts, Manchester City winger Jesus also appears, Firmino and others are also not lacking, and many old acquaintances can also be found opposite them.

It depends on who is happier in the end.

Brazil started aggressively – it was clear that after a humiliating defeat with China in the last game, Brazil were looking to teach the "European Chinese team" a lesson to regain their strength, but Marcelo and Neymar both missed the post from distance in the opening stages.

England wanted to change the unfavorable situation, the idea was still through their long free kick, in the 10th minute, England won a far set piece on the left side of the field, Kieran Trippier's free kick was given to the back of the box, the ball was easily picked up by Alisson, and even the opportunity to shoot was not given to the opponent.

Brazil then crossed from the left through Marcelo and Gabriel Jesus' header was denied. England's first shot on goal came in the 18th minute when Marcus Rashford's long-range effort found the right way into Alisson's hands.

The game was not as wide as the previous third-place matches, and it was clear that England also knew the "sinister intentions" of the Brazilian team, and the defense was quite good, and Brazil struggled to break England's shrinking defensive formation, and then Paulinho and Neymar's long-range shots were deflected off one after another.

Kane was still the same as the previous game, he came up quietly, and did not show his desire for the golden boot until the 23rd minute, Dier sent a diagonal long pass in the midfield, and Sterling near the penalty area line did not choose to make himself "happy", but parked the ball and sent a selfless cross, Kane in front of the goal fell to the ground and shot the ball wide!

Missed a chance to double up your goals!

In stoppage time of the half, Marcelo crossed and Paulinho's header was a bit threatening, but it was also deflected.

In the second half, the two teams had fierce physical confrontations, and the rhythm of the game was frequently interrupted by fouls, which made the game look very dull and ugly, and there was no refreshing feeling of appetizers before the World Cup final.

It wasn't until the end of the game that the two teams had some breathless performances.

In the 70th minute, Rashford sent a diagonal stopper, and Dier, who quickly inserted into the penalty area on the right side, faced Alisson's calm shot, and the ball was cleared in front of the goal line by Thiago Silva, who arrived in time in front of the goal!

In the 76th minute, Dier lost the ball in the midfield, Fernandinho broke through to the penalty area and volleyed, and the ball hit the outside of the left post and popped up! But then Coutinho burst into the left side of the box and shot through Kieran Trippier's goal! England has finally declared the gates lost!

England then tried to save themselves when Kieran Trippier drove a set-piece into the box and Maguire headed just wide of the net from the back post, but luck wasn't on their side.

In the 85th minute, Neymar crossed diagonally, and Paulinho's powerful shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Joe Hart with his chest, and then Paulinho's header in a corner kick melee went high.

At full-time, Brazil won 1-0 to finish third with a 1-0 win over England, who were disappointed with the result and Kane failing to score after half a century.

Golden Boot, it depends on the performance of the Chinese team Lu Zhuhu in the final!
