Chapter 420: The Ancient God Returns
After half a year, Wang Dalong is finally going to meet his teammates in the national team.
The faces are still the same, and some of the old faces are no longer visible.
For example, Zhang Yuning, Jr. Zhang Yuning fell, had no games to play in Europe, and was finally abandoned by Lippi.
Lippi must be interested in the competitive state of the players, it can't be famous, to say ugly, Xiao Zhang Yuning's strength is not as strong as fans think, there is a big reason because of the domestic media hype.
If he is really that strong, then he should be planning to play in the club, not that he has to be the main team, at least in the bench lineup.
But Xiao Zhang Yuning didn't do it either, he couldn't even get into the reserves.
Could Lippi come to him?
It's not that Lippi didn't give him a chance, he was given many opportunities to play last year and the year before, whether it was a friendly match or a qualifier, he played on the field, and he can only blame himself for not being angry.
There is another familiar face that did not come, that is Gao Lin, Lippi also gave up Gao Lin, Gao Lin used to be a disciple he liked very much, but because Gao Lin's state was so bad, he didn't bring it.
Lippi only looks at the competitive state.
So even though Zheng Zhi is 37 years old, Lippi still brought him, and Zheng Zhi is still the captain of the Chinese national team.
That's the essential difference.
But Zheng Zhi's age is here, his physical strength is not enough to support the whole game, according to Lippi's meaning, Zheng Zhi will still start, but someone must substitute him in the second half to replace him and continue to play.
Wu Lei is also lucky, he is still loved by Lippi.
No matter what, Wu Lei is still the best local scorer in the Chinese Super League, he is already the best striker in China, this must be admitted, even if he is a short general, he is also the best one.
What's more, now the national team is not using him as the offensive core, but Wang Dalong.
Wu Lei should occupy a right winger position more often.
After more than half a year of psychological adjustment, Wu Lei's mentality has changed dramatically, and he no longer regards himself as the core of the national team.
Competing for a starting spot with his younger club team-mate, Wai Sai Ho, is his only idea at the moment.
The right winger position is basically a competition between him and Vishow.
As for the left winger, it was left to Cao Yunding, through so many national team games, Lippi has always used him like this, there should be no one to snatch his position.
In the midfield, the partnership of Huang Bowen and Zheng Zhi is untouchable, among the substitutes, Cai Huikang and Hao Junmin should be the most likely to be their substitutes, or when Lippi changes the formation to play 4231, Hao Junmin may play the position of the front midfield, and the other is Zhang Xizhe.
There are still a few old faces on the backline, and of course, the guy who was scolded by the whole country is missing.
At present, there are only so many players in the Chinese team who can come up with their hands, and Lippi's goal is to revolve everything around Wang Dalong.
If it succeeds, there is hope for the Chinese team, and if it fails, there is nothing.
The atmosphere of the team was quite harmonious, and when everyone saw Wang Dalong returning to the team, they all ran over to get close to him.
This is unavoidable, if you don't even have a good relationship with Wang Dalong, then how can you play.
The training ground of the Chinese team is remote, and the neighborhood is quiet. But there was no way to stop the paparazzi from coming here, the Chinese paparazzi and the Russian paparazzi all came.
Lippi did not train in a closed field, and the Chinese team had no secrets, that is, everything revolved around Wang Dalong, and what could the reporter write about, that is, the head coach of Russia came in person, and Lippi felt that there was nothing to hide.
Lippi did not immediately ask Wang Dalong to train at high intensity, after all, Wang Dalong was very tired, and all he needed was rest and relaxation.
He gave Wang Dalong a full week of rest, which was the envy of other players.
Wang Dalong just did some recovery training and some physical reserves.
In the next week's confrontation training, Lippi only gave him half time.
The main thing is to find the state and recover.
"He doesn't look like he's doing well, as if he's in a bad shape?" In the past few days, Russian reporters have been following the report, but Wang Dalong's performance in training is very average, and he has not performed well in the league and Europa League.
It looks ordinary.
"Don't be stupid, this is a smoke bomb, the smoke bomb deliberately released by Lippi deliberately creates a feeling that Wang Dalong is no longer in a state, very tired and tired, but do you believe it? In the Europa League, isn't everyone the same delusion, but in the end he is not just as perverted. ”
There are still relatively sober reporters, and there is no need to show Wang Dalong's state in training.
This was specially explained by Lippi, and he would not doubt Wang Dalong's strength at all.
What Lippi needs to do now is not to ask Wang Dalong to get back to form, because Wang Dalong has no so-called state at all.
What he really needs is that other players in the national team can keep up with Wang Dalong's rhythm and pace, and can find a better tacit understanding with Wang Dalong.
Even more importantly, the performances of Wu Lei, Wei Shihao, Cao Yunding and Hao Junmin will determine the direction of the game.
After all, it is not enough for Wang Dalong to perform alone.
So what Russian reporters have seen in the past few days is that the other players of the Chinese team are working hard, trying to come up with the best performance to conquer Lippi, hoping to become the best partner by Wang Dalong's side.
Journalists in China, on the other hand, are more willing to focus on other aspects of the players, which is in stark contrast to journalists from other countries, which is perhaps the most unprofessional aspect of them, and they care more about what the players do after training, whether they bring their wives and girlfriends over, or whether you have violated the rules and other things.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed, and under Lippi's iron-fisted army, no one dared to do this, and no one thought of doing so.
Because this World Cup is their chance to become heroes, only once in a lifetime.
What amused Wang Dalong was that since the country canceled the tattoo policy, he thought that his teammates would start tattooing again.
But everyone removed the tattoos from their bodies and hung them cleanly, as if they had never had tattooed before, and even their hand hair was shaved.
What is this attitude?
"Wei Shihao, where is your original tattoo?" He wondered why they didn't get tattoos after the policy was changed.
Don't they love tattoos?
"Brother, who dares to get a tattoo now." Wei Shihao smiled, "You don't know, although it is because of you that the Football Association has changed the policy, it is because of you, if there is no you, do you think the Football Association has changed the policy?" ”
"So where do we dare to get a tattoo, the Football Association is to give you face, not to give us face, so everyone is very self-aware, and they definitely don't dare to be by my side, and they don't want to cause trouble again."
His voice grew quieter and quieter, for fear of being heard.
Oh, I see.
Wang Dalong understood, and everyone didn't dare to risk their lives.
In fact, if you think about it, if you hadn't openly bombarded the Football Association, things would not have developed in this direction.
It seems that he is really influential in China, and he is an uncle......
Just when the media of various countries focused on China and Wang Dalong, the European media revealed a new news.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is back and he is playing for Sweden in another World Cup.
The legendary goalscorer said it was always a pity not to be able to play for his national team at the 2014 World Cup, and this time he was shaken by the strong demands of the National Football Federation.
So he chose to return.
This is tantamount to a bombshell for Lippi and the Chinese team, the Swedish team is not so scary, and theoretically there is still a chance to win them or draw, but Ibrahimovic returns?
It's as if a big pillar suddenly stood in the big forbidden area of the Chinese team, which is much taller than the others, and it completely stands out from the crowd.
How should this guy be prevented?
The sudden appearance of this problem in front of the Chinese team and Lippi is definitely a super big problem.
What's more, Ibrahimovic is one of the best strikers on the planet, even at the age of 37.
If it is against a strong European team, maybe Ibrahimovic's ability is not very prominent, but against the ordinary defense of the Chinese team, Ibrahimovic's ability may be highlighted.
The presence of Ibrahimovic will increase the defensive pressure of the Chinese team sharply, and even many defenses are ineffective.
"What the hell is this guy doing here, does he still want to win the Golden Globe? After a good vacation, he came back to play in the World Cup, and he thought he was still the best center forward in the world? "Even Lippi couldn't stand it, and when I heard the news, I really wanted to scold my mother.
He even stopped training and began looking for his ideal defender to defend Ibrahimovic.
No
Absolutely nothing,
At least not in this Chinese team.
There can't be a defender who can stand up to Ibrahimovic.
It's really sad to tm.
But in the end, his eyes stayed on Wang Dalong's body.
Yoh?
Wang Dalong is also okay?
Lippi finally smiled.
He is not worried about Ibrasinovic scoring in open play, but about his terrifying presence in set-piece tactics.
At that time, Ibrahimovic was the most terrifying, and the person who was guarding him must be very capable, jump higher than Ibrahimovic, and have better physical fitness.
And this person is none other than Wang Dalong.
And then
Wang Dalong received a new task.
Not only will he be responsible for the team's attack, but he will also have to defend Ibrahimovic full-time from set-pieces.
Me?
Wang Dalong was naturally surprised, but it was also reasonable.
For Ibrahimovic's perversion, that is well known.
It seems that only he can deal with him.
There was no way, and in the next few days, he could only strengthen the training of set-piece defense.
Pick the tallest guy in the team to conduct marking training, that person can only be the substitute goalkeeper Wang Dalei, who calls him high.........
Four years ago, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Sweden and Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal met in the play-offs, only for Ronaldo to score three goals in the two-legged play-offs and knocked Ibrahimovic out.
Four years later, Ibrahimovic is making a comeback.
In an interview with reporters, Ibrahimovic confidently said: "I know that Wang Dalong is very strong, that's why I came back, I can't watch my national team lose this game."
"I failed four years ago and I can't fail again four years later, even though I'm 37 years old. Wang Dalong is a very good player, he is already one of the best players in the world, but I want to say that I have some moves that he can't learn at all, and I said that my scorpion tail swing may not be done in my life. I also want to show that I'm also a very good player, and I can still play for Sweden, and I think Sweden can easily beat China and get the three points. ”
Ibrahimovic is still confident, this is what makes him unique, and he believes he is the best at all times.
"Is it difficult for a scorpion to wag its tail? I don't think it's difficult, actually, it's not difficult at all. In response to Ibrahimovic's choking, Wang Dalong responded, "Maybe when I play against Sweden, I can finish this action and shoot, and when the time comes, they don't make a fuss." ”
"Haha, it's ridiculous, Ibrahimovic doesn't want to think about how old he is, he still wants to play football at this age, and he doesn't want to think about how many goals he scored in his last year, there is a saying that Lian Po is old, he is in this situation now, I bet he can't even score a goal in this World Cup, unless a penalty is given to him."
Chinese fans despise Ibrahimovic quite a bit.
He didn't take it seriously at all.
"Wang Dalong's opponents are Messi and Ronaldo, what does it have to do with him? He's so good at putting gold on his face, jumping out like a clown to find a sense of existence. ”
Of course, Wang Dalong's fans are not accurate, and neither are Chinese fans, because they are too subjective.
The data given by spinach is still of reference value.
The spinach company does not think that the Chinese team can win the Swedish team, and the appearance of Ibrahimovic makes the spinach company optimistic about Sweden.
Spinach previously thought it was a draw, but now they believe Sweden can give half a half, and they believe that Ibrahimovic's ability can help Sweden and greatly improve the Swedish team.
If only one spinach company thinks so, spinach companies all over the world see it this way.
"No matter how the spinach company plays, anyway, I will buy the Chinese team to win, the Chinese team wins, I win money and win the game, I am very happy, if the Chinese team loses, then I will lose with the Chinese team, it's not a big deal."
Some Chinese fans said that over the years, they have been accustomed to the ups and downs of the Chinese team, and no matter what the outside world thinks of the Chinese team, they still support the Chinese team as always.
What's more, they are so confident in the Chinese team now, and they don't have confidence in Wang Dalong, is it possible to lose the game?
