Four days later, the crowd from Youzhou Institute of Technology flew to Dongying to play the third round of the AFC Champions League group stage against Urawa Red Diamonds. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before the start of the game, Nangong Zheng hesitated, but still arranged the opening defensive tactics, but this time, Wang Shuai stood up.

"Coach, I've thought about it for a while in the past two days, Guo Ning's abnormal performance can be said to be luck, and Qin Da's abnormal performance can not be explained. I think it's mainly because our defense has been strengthened, and as you know, I've been taking Ah Niu and them to practice defensive tactics lately. ”

"Well, that makes sense...... What do you mean? ”

"Direct attack, didn't you say before, offense is the best defense, not to mention that our defensive strength has risen."

"Okay...... Then you go and make adjustments with them. ”

At the tactical level, Nangong Zheng has always felt that Wang Shuai is doing better than himself, although he is still a little skeptical about Wang Shuai's words, but since Wang Shuai has said so, Nangong Zheng has no reason to object.

In fact, Nangong Zheng's tactical arrangement is not wrong, such a strategy is more stable, but Wang Shuai is also a bamboo when he makes tactical adjustments, he deliberately checked the level of each league before the game, and found that in Asia, only the Chinese Super League and South Korea's K League are third-level leagues, Dongying's J-League, Australia's Australian Premier League and several leagues in West Asia are all fourth-level, and the other leagues do not meet the rating standards at all. In other words, within the coverage of the AFC Champions League, Wang Shuai's "suppression" skills can play a role.

……

The local tactical changes of the Chinese team are still being carried out in a big way, but all this has not yet spread to the rest of Asia, and has not even attracted their attention.

So under such a surprise, the four teams of China continued to win all in the third round of the AFC Champions League group stage.

Youzhou Institute of Technology defeated Urawa Red Diamond 5:0, the micro-tactical system and Wang Shuai's "suppression" skills went hand in hand, and Urawa Red Diamond had no power to fight back. Yangcheng Hengyuan hosted Singapore's Tampines Rovers and easily won three points with a score of 3:0. Youzhou Trust went on an expedition to Australia to take away a 2:1 victory from the Newcastle Jets. Matsue Tianyun also came to Australia, beating Sporting Melbourne 2-0 away to avenge the loss to Wu Cheng Guoning in the qualifying round.

After the third round of the AFC Champions League group stage, the domestic league ushered in a half-month off-season to make way for the national team competition, Wang Shuai and Wu Shi also came to Xianghe County, located between Youzhou and Tiangang, to report to the national team training base.

The previous head coach of the national team was Marcello from Italy, known as the "Silver Fox" because of his silver hair. Marcello's coaching career can be described as a legendary experience, with five major league titles, Champions League titles, and World Cup titles, all of which were won by the "Silver Fox". After Yangcheng Hengyuan was promoted to the Chinese Super League, Marcello took over the coaching whip of Hengyuan, and in three years, he led the team to win two league championships and climbed to the top of Asia. After the three-year contract, Marcello came to the Chinese national team again, but unfortunately the "Silver Fox" failed to continue his magic this time, and the national team was eliminated in the 17-year World Cup Asian qualifiers (author's note: I'm sorry crow's mouth, but the national team is now two draws and three losses...... At the end of the season, Marcello was also announced to be "out of class" and returned to his native Italy.

Marcello was succeeded by Lu Chang, a legend in domestic football. Lu Chang is a player in the 80s and 90s of the last century, and together with the current head coach of the trust, Gao Haitao, he led the Chinese youth team to participate in the 85 World Youth Football Championship, and finally achieved an excellent record of seventh place, which is also the best record achieved by the Chinese national football team in the world competition so far. In the 90s, Lu Chang came to Pillay Club in Australia, led the team to win 8 league and cup championships in 7 years, and was nominated for the World Footballer of the Year in 93.

After retiring as an athlete, Lu Chang joined the coaching staff of Youzhou Tianshi, which was still called Chang'an Basan at that time, and after taking over the head coach's whip in 03, he led the team to win the top league in China at that time, the runner-up of the A League. After the team moved to Qianyang and changed its name to Qianyang Tianshi, Lu Chang led the team to the top four of the Chinese Super League twice, qualified for the AFC Champions League, and defeated Yangcheng Hengyuan in the 13-14 season to win the FA Cup, which was also the first championship in the history of the Tianshi team.

This season, Lu Chang entered the national team, and his legendary experience has given him a high prestige, but so far, Lu Chang has not made any major moves, because in his opinion, the current strength of the national team is already good.

The national team was eliminated in the World Cup qualifiers last season, Lu Chang believes that this is not Marcello's responsibility, the player's attitude towards the game is not good, this is not something that a foreign coach can change, but after all, he did not bring good results during his tenure, and Marcello's dismissal is helpless.

Originally, Lu Chang had already made a plan to rectify the atmosphere of the national team after taking office, but what he didn't expect was that due to Wang Shuai's previous deeds, the spirit of the national team was getting better and better, and now there is no problem. Now there is nothing to do after Lu Chang comes to the national team, there is no problem with tactics, no problem with the attitude of the game, and the only thing that is lacking now is to use the game to verify his strength.

Of course, there is the most important point, that is, to call Wang Shuai into the team, in Lu Chang's view, Wang Shuai's joining, the role of the team's spiritual level, far greater than the improvement of strength.

……

The training base is not far from Youzhou, Wang Shuai and Wu Shi drove over, but Wang Shuai has not bought a car yet, and it is Wu Shi who is sitting in the driver's seat, driving his SUV with Songjiang license plate. accompanied by Yu Xiaobao and Zhang Lin, who were also in Youzhou, were Wang Shuai's teammates in the trust. Wu Shi and the two people of Trust were originally teammates of the national team, and now with the relationship between Wang Shuai, several people chatted all the way and became more familiar.

The four of them are Youzhou players, who set off relatively late, and arrived at the base the night before the registration day, which is considered the latest batch of players.

After arriving at the base, Wang Shuai also met several other acquaintances, such as Wang Xiaolei, the goalkeeper of Qilu Energy, Gao Xiang and Tian Bo, the winger of Yangcheng Hengyuan, all of whom are old opponents and old friends.

Yangcheng Hengyuan and Youzhou Trust were originally considered strong rivals in "fate", but also because of Wang Shuai, the private relationship between the players of the two teams has eased a lot. However, Gao Xiang and Wu Shi, who have a good relationship with Wang Shuai, are not so friendly. Not to mention the rivalry between the two teams before, both are center forwards themselves, and the national team has always been in a 4-5-1 formation, and the competition for the main position between the two is no less than the competition between the teams. But fortunately, the two of them are teammates after all, and they have a relationship with Wang Shuai, and the two ignore each other when they meet and say hello, which can be regarded as peaceful.

No matter what the relationship between other people is, Wang Shuai's relationship with everyone is still very good. Although Wang Shuai had an unpleasant time with some international players two years ago, this little thing has long passed, in fact, everyone still likes this big boy who has the ability and dares to fight.

But on the second day, Wang Shuai was pushed to the forefront by Lu Chang.

"Everyone knows each other, so I won't talk nonsense. The first thing, this time the captain of the national team, is served by Wang Shuai. As soon as Lu Chang opened his mouth, he directly threw out a bombshell.
