Chapter 122 Seen as declining

A good player, he may have his own system, and the simplest system is to pass the ball to him. Wang Dalong obviously brought a system.

Give him the ball and let him solve the problem.

It just so happens that there is such a game that can really test Wang Dalong.

That was the friendly match with Iceland at the Wuhan Sports Center the day after tomorrow.

Iceland, a romantic and icy little country with a population of only 300,000, but what is their level of football? This past summer, they shocked the world.

At the European Championships in France, Iceland finished second in their group before beating England in the quarter-finals, only to fall to hosts France in the quarter-finals.

Now, they are also top of their group in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers in Russia, with even the mighty Croatia being crushed under them.

In the impression of many fans, Iceland should be a weak team, very weak and weak, but this was many years ago, and the current Iceland, in Europe, is at least a second-tier strong team, and few teams dare to say that they will be able to win against Iceland.

So in this friendly match, theoretically, it should be that the Chinese team challenged a strong European team, and the Chinese team basically has no chance of winning. The Icelanders are not very skilled at their feet, but their physical fitness and tactical literacy are even better than other football powers, what does the Chinese team have? Not even those two points. Iceland is small, but they also have more than 100 people playing abroad, and many of them are mixed in different leagues in England, does the Chinese team have it? Not a single one.

However, the spinach company was not optimistic that Iceland could win China in Wuhan, they just opened a draw handicap, which means that they are optimistic about a draw. It is not surprising that the Chinese team has always played friendly matches well, after all, friendly matches and regular matches are two different things, and there are many commercial factors.

In the past, the Chinese team played friendly matches, and the stadium was at most sitting, and it was impossible to be full, especially in such a cold month as November, when fans went to the stadium to be frozen, and they had to watch the team lose the game, this kind of thing, not many people could do it, but this time it was different, the tickets for the Wuhan Sports Center were sold out early, and the scalpers made another deal in this cold winter. Everyone wants to watch Wang Dalong's game and want to know what he can play.

Yes, they didn't go to see the national team, they just wanted to see Wang Dalong of the national team.

※※※※

In friendlies, the national team's jersey number is temporary and not fixed. Wang Dalong got the number nine shirt for the second time, which is the number nine of the national team, and within a week, he got the number nine shirt of the Parma club and the number nine shirt of the national team. This jersey number generally belongs to Yang Xu, but seriously, for so many years, No. 9 really doesn't have much presence, and it's not as good as No. 7 Wu Lei.

Luneng striker is embarrassed to continue to wear this number, he has to be Wu Lei's substitute in the national team, what does it mean to wear No. 9?

In this game against Iceland, even Wu Lei had to sit on the bench, and Yang Xu didn't need to think too much.

Thanks to that match, a lot of people got up from the bench and started this game. Lippi only retained the backfield, the entire back line was intact, above the back waist, Zheng Zhi and Huang Bowen were used, and in attack, from right to left, Zhang Xizhe, Hao Junmin and Cao Yunding, in front of Wang Dalong, a proper 4231 formation.

This formation is different from the past, and the staffing is not the same. The change in formation is understandable, but it is the first time that Hao Junmin has been placed in the position of the forward midfielder in the middle.

Many people complained before, why didn't Hao Junmin, who has strong organizational ability and passing ability, put it in the forward position? Today Lippi did it, and it was a bit of a thunderclap on the ground.

At first glance, the front foursome is a completely unfamiliar combination, the national team has never appeared before, the four of them are extremely fast, and the technical work at their feet is particularly good players, but there is one thing in common, that is, the guys who don't rely on their bodies to eat are basically arranged according to the results achieved in the confrontation.

Playing with a team like Iceland, physical confrontation will definitely suffer a big loss, and it is impossible to withstand the opponent, in this case, you can only play to your own advantages, and speed and technology are the advantages of the Chinese team. With these two advantages, it is possible to create opportunities for Wang Dalong to score, as long as Wang Dalong is not trapped in the crowd of the opposing team.

Wang Dalong already knows the tactical requirements clearly enough, the national team is to play around him, that is, to pass the ball to him, he is alone in the front line, the goal is to get the ball from his teammates, and find a way to shoot more.

It can be said that Lippi has put the hopes of the Chinese team on Wang Dalong, hoping that Wang Dalong can continue to play amazingly in this friendly match, so that he and the national team will have more confidence to play in the World Cup qualifiers.

The Icelandic team is here to play a friendly match, and it is impossible to really fight with the Chinese team, the point is to get money. However, before the game, when a Chinese reporter asked them if they knew Wang Dalong of the Chinese team, they all shook their heads and said that they didn't know this player. They are not very worried about the team's defensive problems, even Vardy and Kane, who have played in the Premier League, can prevent it, how can they be cold to Wang Dalong? The reporter must have been self-inflicted.

Maybe in their opinion, as long as the team plays at a level of 70 percent, they can beat the Chinese team, and they don't have to play so seriously.

But they are not serious, the Chinese team is serious!

It's almost a remake of the match. After the start of the game, the Chinese team took the initiative to attack.

The problem of the Chinese team has not always been a problem of defense, but a problem of offense and goal, so the team's goal is too clear.

Icelanders may think that the Chinese don't have much long-range shooting ability, but have only done more detailed protection in the penalty area. As long as the Chinese do not enter the big penalty area, there is not much danger, and even on both sides, they give a lot of space, because they believe that in the penalty area, no one in the Chinese team can grab a landing point in front of their defensive line.

Obviously, they underestimated the Chinese team.

The Chinese team was also quite surprised, they didn't expect Iceland to give so much space. You're welcome, of course. A few minutes after the Chinese team quickly fell in the midfield, Zheng Zhi directly stuffed the ball to Wang Dalong! I don't have so much cooperation with my teammates anymore.

Since the opponent is so careless, then simply hand the ball directly to Wang Dalong!

Wang Dalong can't bear it anymore, no team has ever given so much space!

He was very comfortable receiving the ball from Zheng Zhi.

Although he was the only one on the front line, he felt that the vision in front of him was too wide.

Do the Icelanders think I'm alone and don't dare to break in with the ball? He himself thought it was ridiculous that the other party would ignore it to such an extent.

Of course, he was not polite, took the ball forward a few meters, looked up at the position of the goal, and then, he did not wait.

How could he miss such a well-adjusted shooting opportunity?

When the back and defenders of the Iceland team were slowly arranging the defensive line, Wang Dalong picked up his right foot and shot!

Shot?

Icelanders are almost dumbfounded, but not worried, just surprised! This little guy in front of him actually shot from 30 meters away?

What an international joke!
