Chapter 253: Warming Up in the Sun
The players are not very accustomed to the climate in Oman, but there is no way, the venue will not change. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Some complained, some were silent, but they all dragged their tired bodies onto the team bus.
After Lin Yi got in the car, he first took out a bottle of water and poured it, this place is really not something ordinary people can stay in.
But fortunately, after arriving at the station, Lin Yi found that the hotel here was still very similar to that.
There was a warm-up game tomorrow, so after dinner, everyone went back to bed.
The few who have had old injuries in the past go to a masseur or physiotherapist for some help.
Lin Yi didn't bother in this regard, he went back to his room to take a shower and get ready to rest.
In the same room with him was Zhang Wei, who was the first to arrive at the training base like him before, this tall and thin young striker didn't seem to sleep so well, Lin Yi only listened to him tossing and turning there before he went to sleep, obviously unable to sleep.
As the captain, Lin Yi was supposed to chat with him at this time, but Lin Yi didn't do it.
These are all steps that a professional player must go through, and it is not that someone who can explain it will be able to help him.
Zhang Wei was obviously a self-regulating person, and when Lin Yi woke up the next day, he saw that he was stretching his body refreshed.
In fact, it is hard to imagine that this young college player should become the main striker of the national team under the age of 22.
Of course, this unimaginable is aimed at the outside world, and Lin Yi has already determined this from seeing his strength.
However, Zhang Wei did not choose the No. 9 jersey worn by most traditional center forwards, but chose the No. 13.
Lin Yi still chose his favorite number, No. 10.
In his words, if you don't give me a number 10 shirt, I won't believe what you say about making me the core.
After breakfast, Team Leader Cao and Fu Bo gathered the team together and prepared to set off for the warm-up match.
Fu Bo didn't know when there was an extra handkerchief in his hand, and he had to wipe the sweat on his face when he said a few words.
"In the warm-up game, the result doesn't matter. The key is to find the style that was established before in the actual battle, and also, protect yourself! ”
The players responded to the coach sparsely, and whenever this happened, Lin Yi, the newly appointed captain, had to react.
At Dortmund, it seems that he has always heard Sebastian's slogans before responding.
In the end, Lin Yi still didn't take the lead to respond to the coach, but just bowed his head and said nothing.
I think this is one of the reasons why the outside world will call this national youth team "the most silent team in history" in the future.
No matter how Lin Yi usually performs, he is never ambiguous on the court.
As soon as he arrived at the competition venue, Lin Yi, who had changed his clothes and walked on the turf, became alive.
I have to say that the country of Oman is really a bit stuffy.
Although the surface temperature shows that it is only in the twenties, with the unique climate here, it feels ......
Before he finished the warm-up, Lin Yi felt that his half-long hair was already soaked with sweat.
He gritted his teeth and continued to run, then took the lead in a switchback run and sprint warm-up.
When his body was all moved, Lin Yi felt that many of his teammates were in the state of having finished playing.
He walked to the sidelines and picked up a box of water, handed it to everyone one by one, and after making sure everyone had drunk some, he finally spoke, "Come on!" Keep training. ”
Fu Bo on the sidelines couldn't stop wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, his suit had been taken off and thrown on the chair behind him, and the sleeves of his shirt had been rolled up.
Now he is starting to worry about whether his players can withstand this climate, it seems to be a little difficult.
The time of the game was set at three o'clock in the afternoon, and Lin Yi, who was the captain to guess the side, was relatively unlucky, and was won the right to be selected first by the opponent.
The captain of India's under-22 national team, who was standing across from him, grinned at him, "We're going to pick sides." ”
Then he decisively chose the side with his back to the sun and left the football to Lin Yi.
After standing in position facing the sun, the Chinese team is ready to kick off.
Fu Bo is clearly a man with a dream, and this time they are actually in a "4-2-1-3" three-striker formation.
In fact, this is not in line with China's usual style, and Fu Bo clearly wants to use his offense to directly crush his opponent.
Of course, Lin Yi likes to see this, after all, most of his kung fu is in the offensive aspect.
But the environment is not very friendly at the moment, and the sun is shining in Oman today.
Lin Yi stood outside the center circle and looked around, and he felt that he couldn't see the opponent's position, let alone their faces.
Fu Bo stood on the sidelines, and he didn't know if it was because the weather was too hot or nervous, and he was sweating more.
Although this is only a warm-up match, it is also the first battle after the team is fully assembled.
He said he didn't care about the outcome of the game, but he still didn't want to lose after all.
The national youth team on the Indian side didn't even enter this cup, and you don't need to say much about the strength to feel it.
But they have the right time, after all, the climate of their country is closer to Oman than China.
And they don't need to play with one hand in the sun.
In the opening game, the first attack of the Chinese team was fruitless, and the Indian players successfully controlled the ball at their feet and began to make a lot of meaningless passes in the midfield, obviously trying to take advantage of the light advantage to catch the Chinese team off guard and take the lead in the first half.
Lin Yi looked at the opponent's pass, and there were indeed a lot of loopholes, but he didn't rush up to grab the ball.
If it had been in Dortmund, no one would have a problem with him doing so.
But it was different in the national team, although his teammates and Fu Bo didn't say anything, but Camacho in the stands shook his head again.
This kid, didn't he hear what I said last time in the national team?
With that kind of pitch positivity, I don't need such players in my team at all.
Lin Yi walked around the field by himself, not knowing that there were still people in the stands watching him.
Then again, Lin Yi is actually not the kind of person who will change his style just because of other people's attention.
Camacho became more and more angry the more he watched, and finally even wanted to go down and reprimand the midfielder for the negative game.
The strength of the Indian national youth team is also really worrying, they almost controlled the football for the first five minutes, but they didn't even have a shot on goal.
Oman is actually not a country that is very fanatical about football, so there are not many fans on the sidelines, otherwise the players on the field must be booed for such a boring game.
The Indian team also seemed to feel that their side's continuous possession of the ball made the game seem too boring, and a passing error actually sent the ball directly to Lin Yi's feet.
Lin Yi was really embarrassed to refuse, and stopped the ball in front of him with a flick of his toes.
The ball reached Lin Yi's feet, and his three teammates in the front court ran forward at the same time.
In the training, they had already seen Lin Yi's ability, and knew that in this case, there was no need for the three of them to leave one of them to cooperate with him.
Lin Yi, who controlled the football, dribbled forward, and the opponent did not defend him tightly.
Lin Yi is the most happy to encounter such a scene, don't you want me? That's great.
The Indian team's defense was very deep and very open, which made Lin Yi who was carrying the ball even happier.
It's not that the Indian team doesn't take the game seriously, it's just that they know too little about their opponents.
This Chinese team, just by looking at their starting center is a college player, you can see how new their lineup is.
The Indian team also did enough research before the game, but unfortunately except for Lin Yi and a few players who have played in the Chinese league, the rest of them can't even collect video data.
In other words, the Indian team did not know how terrifying the striker in the No. 13 uniform was.
Lin Yi leaned forward as he pushed forward, suddenly his footsteps stopped, and with a push of the inside of his right foot, the football quickly passed through the opponent's defense line and rolled directly into the middle hinterland of the Indian team.
Zhang Wei, who was outside the penalty area, watched Lin Yi's movements, started quickly, and rushed to the penalty area after the football.
Lin Yi already understood the problem that Zhang Wei was not good at stopping the ball, so he discussed with Zhang Wei a method that did not require stopping the ball.
That is, Lin Yi passed the ball out of an advance and hit the opponent's gap, and then Zhang Wei relied on his speed to catch up with the football, and then directly completed the shot.
In training, the two of them tried and tested like this, and today they got it in actual combat, and it depends on whether it has any effect!
Zhang Wei's speed is extremely fast, Lin Yi has measured it in his heart, and came to the conclusion that he is even faster than Aubameyang.
When you give the ball to a player who is fast like this, it's actually a pleasure for the midfielder, because you can kick it hard.
The two of them have cooperated many times in training, coupled with Lin Yi's precise feet.
Zhang Wei was very comfortable receiving the ball for the first time, he caught up with the football, and he was ahead of the attacking goalkeeper.
Fu Bo even forgot to wipe his sweat at this time, stood up and watched Zhang Wei take the ball into the opponent's penalty area.
As soon as you catch the ball, it's a single knife, which is really cool!
When Zhang Wei controlled the ball at his feet, his first reaction was actually how to celebrate if he scored.
Then he raised his head and prepared to kick a curling ball that went straight around the goalkeeper.
But before he could see the goalkeeper's position, the dazzling sunlight dazzled his eyes.
Zhang Wei subconsciously closed his eyes, it's over!
But his reaction was actually fast enough, and when he closed his eyes, he got up directly.
Since I can't get around you, let's bet on speed!
Zhang Wei closed his eyes and picked his legs when he was about to reach the penalty spot, and the football flew up and went straight to the goal.
Strikers who can score eighteen goals in five games actually have an instinctive feeling when they shoot.
Although Zhang Wei didn't see the position of the opponent's goalkeeper and goal, his kick was still very decisive.
The Indian goalkeeper had already attacked at the same time as Zhang Wei received the ball, but the speed of the No. 13 really amazed him.
He felt that with Zhang Wei's speed, he should continue to dribble the ball forward and then shoot.
Therefore, Zhang Wei's shot was a bit abrupt for him, and he didn't even make an effective preparation.
Professional athletes often react faster than their brains think.
The Indian goalkeeper's body reacted the moment the ball flew up, and he jumped up leaning over and outstretched his hands.
Then there were weak cheers at the scene, for this rather wonderful save.
Zhang Wei, who opened his eyes, saw that his shot was saved by the opponent, and he didn't even get a free kick.
Lin Yi tilted his head, this guy, shouldn't he be nervous in the game? He doesn't look like such a person.
Zhang Wei turned to look at Lin Yi, stretched out his thumb and pointed back, and then covered his eyes with his hand, Lin Yi immediately understood.
Speaking of which, Lin Yi was not affected by this dazzling sunlight too much, and this was also thanks to his hair.
When dribbling the ball, Lin Yi habitually raised his head, but he didn't raise his head completely, but more raised his eyes.
So the hair on his forehead hung down and helped him block out some of the sun.
However, these objective factors cannot be the reason for not scoring goals, and Lin Yi raised his hand to Zhang Wei.
That means let him continue to wait for the opportunity, and by the way, make some room for himself.
In fact, in this Chinese team, in addition to Lin Yi and Zhang Wei, there are many strong players.
Just like today's starting wingers, Wu Lei and Liu Binbin, both of them are like Zhang Wei, extremely fast and have certain personal ability.
Therefore, today's team actually has a variety of offensive means and ways.
India went on the attack again, with their midfielders bringing the ball to midfield in an attempt to force a bit of a threat.
Lin Yi was still very calm and watched coldly, he knew that the two guys behind him would definitely stop the opponent's attack.
Lee Ji Lang and Mai Tijiang are today's starting midfielders, both of whom belong to the type that can run and jump, have outstanding physical strength and good defensive awareness.
It's too difficult to get rid of the Indian midfielder today, and Lin Yi is convinced of this.
Sure enough, Maitijiang broke the ball cleanly by himself.
He and Lee Ji-lang also have the same advantage, that is, they don't stick to the ball.
After breaking the ball, he quickly got up and gave the ball to Lin Yi, who was waiting for an opportunity in the middle circle.
Lin Yi also has his own ideas in his heart, go first to the ball, and then drag out the time.
That's his initial idea for today's game.
When he turned around after receiving the ball, he only felt like he had a heat wave.
Fu Bo looked at Lin Yi who controlled the ball at his feet, and every time he watched him take the ball, he felt very relieved, I don't know if Klopp felt the same way as me.
India's midfield defenders have clearly changed their tactics this time around.
They shouted, and the two of them pounced on Lin Yi left and right. (To be continued.) )
