Liang Xin returned after a training camp, and naturally occupied a starting midfielder position. As soon as he started, he made two consecutive steals from the feet of Goodley, who had played in the Chinese Super League, and fought for the Chinese team to fight two opportunities to counterattack on the spot in the frontcourt, which attracted a burst of cheers from the scene. Seeing this scene, Lippi nodded secretly in his heart. In this training camp, his biggest purpose is to inspect Liang Xin. After all, he has not played much time in the national team, although his ability is not to be said, but how to integrate his interception attributes into the team's existing tactical system, especially with Wen Zhihao's small and fast style, is a major issue facing the Lippi coaching staff in the next six months.

With Wen Zhihao here, the Chinese team's offense has a stable firepower guarantee, but in the World Cup, facing European and American teams, the national team's defensive problems are not small. The current defensive quality can only be considered Asian at best, but the World Cup national team may have to face a world-class attacking group. The abilities of other players have been stimulated by Lippi for a long time and have basically reached the ceiling. In Lippi's view, only Liang Xin is still malleable. The midfielder wins the world, and Lippi's positioning of Liang Xin is the Chinese team's Gattuso. Wen Zhihao is the Chinese team's Andrea Pirlo.

Of course, they certainly won't be up to the level of these two masters in attacking and defending in midfield, but Lippi will have to stiffen up the back of the national team and provide adequate protection at the back. You can't always count on Wen Zhihao to control the rhythm and solve the problem with the opponent. In recent years, the tendency of the World Cup to fight defense has become more and more obvious, the 2006 World Cup Golden Boot Klose only scored 5 goals, the 2010 World Cup Golden Boot Thomas Muller also scored 5 goals, and the last Brazil World Cup Golden Boot James Rodriguez won the king with 6 goals and has become a top demon star in the world. It is enough to show that a top competition such as the World Cup is a stage for fighting defense and counterattacking, and the first task is to strengthen the fence of the defensive line. 02 World Cup against Costa Rica is a lesson, the Chinese team put their energy into the opponent's attack, wanting to eat the weakest opponent in this group, but the result was not able to attack for a long time, the opponent took advantage of two small flaws in the second half of the defense line to score two goals, and finally lost regrettably, the plan that is most likely to score goals and score points fell through, and the failed World Cup journey stems from the insufficient understanding of the World Cup field.

……

Since it was a warm-up game, the managers of both sides encouraged the players to show their abilities, the scene was very open, and the offensive and defensive ends were dominated by the individual performance of the players, and the value from a tactical point of view was not great.

Wen Zhihao played as a attacking midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation, sending penetrating passes into the opposition's danger zone on a number of occasions, but the national team's striker Gao Lin and Wu Qiuwang were completely at the opposite extreme, with the former acting at a slower pace and Serbia's Chelsea centre-back Branislav Ivanovic clearing the ball without pressure. Wuqiu Wang can run out of shooting space, but the quality of the key shot is ...... Accustomed to seeing the finishing ability of Saul and Bietto and others, Wen Zhihao spread his hands and wanted to scold the country. But he looked at his captain's armband, and at last all he could do was sigh.

It's not easy to be a nanny in the national team, and with this group of bad pig teammates, you can spit out the pie that you stuff into your mouth. Wen Zhihao suddenly thought of what kind of scene would be waiting for everyone after the game if it was Simeone on the sidelines, seeing his players waste this kind of opportunity for grandma to score several times.

"Wen Zhihao's pass was very good, but Gao Lin and Wuqiu Wang wasted the opportunity. However, it is understandable, after all, most of the players have ended the Chinese Super League, and their bodies have entered a state of vacation, while the five major leagues are still in the early stages of the season, and Wen Zhihao's physical condition is still on the rise. ”

He Wei looked at the contrast between Wen Zhihao and other team members in this way, and found a reason for the Chinese team's delay in scoring a goal.

Wen Zhihao also saw that there was a problem with the state of the forwards, and compared with the Serbian backline, the overall strength was indeed a lot worse.

Since the strikers are unreliable, then they all dodge, I'll do it myself!

Wen Zhihao has an extremely good ability to hit the world, he and Liang Xin had a gesture exchange before starting to work alone, the two tore a channel from the left side of the Serbian midfield through a continuous pass and run, Wen Zhihao brought the ball to the front of the big penalty area, and after stepping on the ball, the feint changed direction to get rid of, deceiving the central defender Tosic to pause in place, taking advantage of this momentary opportunity, Wen Zhihao raised his leg and shot directly, goalkeeper Stojkovic concentrated, Wen Zhihao's long-range shooting angle was very tricky, Stojkovic stretched out completely, his fingertips grazed the post to touch the ball, flicked the post and the ball fell back into the box.

"Ahh The long-range shot was saved! …… And, there's! ”

He Wei saw a red figure at the far end of the camera and ran away first, and he didn't have time to regret that Wen Zhihao's long-range shot couldn't score, and the opportunity to make up the shot was just around the corner.

This figure that suddenly appeared in the camera is Liang Xin!

Facing most of the empty goal left by Wen Zhihao's shot, how could Liang Xin refuse such a big gift and shoot the ball into the net before Ivanovic.

"Good shot! Liang Xin's first goal for the national team, the Chinese team leads! ”

Wen Zhihao ran to Liang Xin for the first time and congratulated: "Congratulations, the first goal." Treat yourself to the end of the game. ”

Liang Xin didn't get carried away either: "You have half of the credit for this ball." Win the game first, and then have a drink when you're done, it's a little meaning! ”

Serbia is ranked 38th in the world, a cut above the 59th of the Chinese team, and even without the star Nemanja Matic, the overall strength is still stronger than the Chinese team. Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic equalised in the 43rd minute from close range. No. 2 national Yan Junling blocked twice in a row, but in the face of Serbia's third consecutive blow, he was powerless.

From this conceded goal can also be seen the weakness of the Chinese team, with Wen Zhihao and Liang Xin, the midfield has become the strongest link, but the strength of the back line can not keep up with the improvement of the midfield, although the Chinese Super League's big-name foreign aid tempered the local defense, but the deep awareness is still unable to keep up with the combination of the five major league strikers, many fans are worried that such a scene will appear repeatedly in the Russian World Cup, Wen Zhihao and Liang Xin have to be how against the sky to fill this deep hole?

In the 60th minute of the game, Liang Xin and Wen Zhihao reproduced the continuous passing of the midfield, this time through the back insertion for Wen Zhihao to attract some attention, Wen Zhihao from the middle of the fast to eat the cut, low shot through Stojkovic's crotch, the ball rolled into the middle of the goal, the Chinese team 2:1 again!

However, the hard-earned advantage did not last long, as Mitrovic sealed the score at 2-2 with a close-range header in the 70th minute.

Although he didn't win, He Wei still praised Wen Zhihao and Liang Xin's cooperation by name: "The ability and awareness of the two players in Europe are a notch higher than other teammates, and it is foreseeable that if the Chinese team wants to make a breakthrough in the Russian World Cup, it depends on the performance of these two people, according to the current popular saying, Wen Zhihao and Liang Xin are the two thighs of the national team." ”

Judging from the evaluation of the media after the game, Liang Xin, who broke the goal drought of the national team, was good in attack and defense in the back position, and ran actively, received the highest rating unanimous in mind.

The next day, the major domestic media overwhelmingly commented positively on the results of the game.

"The best value draw! Liang Xin's secret weapon to transform into Lippi......"

"It's still easy to use for returnees! Two goals from both seas, Russia World Cup still depends on them. ”

"There is hope for a draw, the strongest twin stars in the history of the national team are combined, is the dream of scoring in the World Cup still far away?"
