PS: I just sent the wrong chapter once.,Send it to the last volume.,It's been changed.,Sorry.。

After the three-day holiday, Wen Zhihao set off from home and went north to the national team's training base in Shenyang. In recent years, the national team has generally been training in the south to prepare for the competition, and this time, considering the needs and convenience of preparation, the training camp before the competition was arranged in the north. Adapting to the climate close to the race venue and departing from Northeast China can significantly shorten your trip. In order to ensure that the international players can maintain good condition and go to the World Cup, the work of the national team has achieved a meticulous work that has rarely been done in recent years.

Wen Zhihao arrived at the national team training base to report, and the national team really arrived at the team and really started the final stage of the World Cup.

There are only two weeks left before the opening of the World Cup, the Chinese team is divided into Group F, the first game is late, and there are only about 20 days left, according to the preparation plan of the national team, there will be a friendly match during the domestic training camp to finalize the 23-man squad of the Chinese team, and after flying to Russia, one or two friendly matches will be arranged, which is equivalent to grinding the gun at the end.

The media has actually been paying attention to the 23-man squad of the national team, and each media has its own speculation, but in fact, it is all the same. The main frame has long been decided, and for the fringe players, it will be the last chance to fight for who will catch the last train. For example, Liu Ruofan, who was selected for the training team again, although he has the least experience in the national team, he gave an assist in his debut in the China Cup, and his attributes of being able to pass suddenly are fully capable of impressing Lippi, and then he has the opportunity to fight for a 23-person place. At this time, he himself will not give up, and Wen Zhihao also gave him pertinent advice in private: "Don't think too much at this time, no matter how much you train and compete, play your own characteristics and level, a coach of the level of Mr. Pi will not turn a blind eye." ”

Two days later, the Chinese team sat at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center and ushered in the last friendly match before the trip, and the opponent was Australia.

Australia is also in order to adapt to the needs of the climate, Shenyang as the last game before the expedition, just convenient for the Chinese team near the water, and from a tactical point of view, the body is tough, playing Europeanized Australia and the Chinese team's first opponent Sweden is very similar, the play of both sides in this game has reference value for Lippi's first game arrangement.

In the friendly match with Australia, Wen Zhihao, Liang Xin, Zheng Zhi, Zeng Cheng, Feng Xiaoting and other main players who were determined to go to the tournament did not start, indicating that Lippi did not care about the outcome of this game.

The starting goalkeeper of the Chinese team in this game is Wang Dalei. Although it is confirmed that the three goalkeepers of the current national team will go to Russia, Lippi has been undecided about who will be the second goalkeeper between him and Yan Junling. Yan Junling has grown rapidly, but lacks experience in competitions. Wang Dalei is in excellent physical condition, but the biggest problem is that his performance is inconsistent, relatively speaking, Lippi prefers Yan Junling's young and steady type. However, in order to allow more players to express themselves, they also gave him the opportunity to perform.

Liu Ruofan was arranged by Lippi to start today, partnering with two local young midfielders Yin Hongbo and He Chao, Lippi focused on the three players in the midfield, so they were ranked in the starting lineup together, and everyone knew the meaning of playing. Lippi will be looking at who can perform at a normal level under pressure.

Australia's squad has been announced, so they are all the main players in this game, including Kreuzer who plays for Bochum in the Bundesliga, Jedinak, defender of Aston Villa in the Championship, Matthew Lecky and other players in Europe in the Bundesliga, as well as McGovern and Sainsbury, two old acquaintances in the Chinese Super League. The main squad is still the champion team of the Asian Cup in their home country three years ago. In this World Cup, Australia is in a group with Denmark, Sweden and France. With their strength, they have to do their best to qualify, plus a little luck.

……

With Lippi hiding most of the main force, Australia quickly controlled the midfield in the opening period, and Australia's traditional English style of play, which advocates physical confrontation and plays high, is extremely unsuitable. Although He Chao, Yin Hongbo and Liu Ruofan are all local midfield hopefuls, but in the current Chinese Super League, the local midfielders are only green leaf roles, and the real core of the central axis is occupied by big-name foreign aid from each team. Without the cores of Wen Zhihao, Liang Xin and Zheng Zhi, the gap between the main force and the substitutes of the Chinese team is exposed.

In the 25th minute, Australia launched a counterattack with a midfield steal, Jedinak relied on his strong physical fitness to break through He Chao's defense in the middle, and shot directly from the goal forty meters away, which looked like a random attempt, but Wang Dalei inexplicably did not stand in front of the goal line, and this very sudden shot became a very threatening hanging shot, jumping directly to the dead corner of the Chinese team's goal.

He Wei was very regretful, and said in a blaming tone: "Wang Dalei's position is really confusing, we all know that he has a strong desire to perform, but the goalkeeper should be more steady." Even Neuer, abandoning the door comes with a huge risk of being overcome......"

Xu Yang was more straightforward: "Wang Dalei's recklessness will greatly lose his impression points in Lippi's mind. ”

Lippi's face was obviously dissatisfied, one was dissatisfied with the overall performance of the current midfield, and the other was disappointed with Wang Dalei's goalmouth performance.

At the end of the first half, the Chinese team trailed Australia 0:1. The performance of the fringe internationals and substitutes made everyone worried, facing Australia, a not very strong opponent, the Chinese team's substitute lineup only had two shots on goal in the half, and everyone didn't dare to think about it for a while when they faced stronger opponents in the World Cup.

At the beginning of the second half, the Chinese team made two substitutions, Hao Junmin replaced Yin Hongbo, and Gao Lin replaced Yu Dabao on the front line. Yin Hongbo was depressed when he came off the field, and he knew that the 23-man squad for the World Cup might not be with him.

The situation of the Chinese team has changed somewhat. Hao Junmin has the experience of staying in the Bundesliga Schalke 04, and in the past two seasons in Shandong Luneng was arranged by Magath to play in the back, as he grows older, he gradually transforms into an all-round direction of both offense and defense.

Hao Junmin's play has given the Chinese team's midfield a core fulcrum, and the Chinese team's offense has improved significantly.

In the 65th minute, the Chinese team made a steal in the midfield, He Chao stabbed the ball to Hao Junmin, and Hao Junmin faced Jedinak's pressing and decisively passed the ball to Gao Lin in the front line. Gao Lin fully demonstrated the ability of the fulcrum center, directly heading back to Liu Ruofan, and at the same time blocking Sainsbury with his body, creating space for Liu Ruofan to face the goal at the front of the Australian penalty area.

After Liu Ruofan got the ball, in the small space in front of the opponent's penalty area, he dodged the shovels of two defenders in a row, which detonated the enthusiasm of the audience, He Wei and Xu Yang exclaimed at the same time: "Liu Ruofan!" What a ball! Chance, shot! ”

Liu Ruofan's previous feints had already flashed the shooting route, and the opportunity was in front of him, and he decisively fired a low shot that made the opposing goalkeeper Matthew Ryan out of reach.

1:1!

Although this goal has the credit of the overall counterattack, the finishing touch is the embodiment of Liu Ruofan's personal ability.

He Wei vented his passion frantically: "The ball is in!" This is the biggest takeaway from Lippi's warm-up game. With this goal, Liu Ruofan should come from behind and have a place of his own in the 23-man squad. ”

Xu Yang said: "First Wen Zhihao and Liang Xin, and now Liu Ruofan is also breaking out in the national team, it turns out that as long as you are willing to give them opportunities, the young force will give you infinite surprises!" ”
