After being woken up by Royce, Lin Yi wanted to scold his friend, but when he heard the news, he was silent. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Barcelona.

Although this team suffered a defeat in the Champions League last season, they drank seven ups.

But no one can deny the dominance of this team in recent years, both on the pitch and in football.

If it weren't for Jose Mourinho's successful interception by Inter Milan, they might have become the first team to defend the title after the Champions League restructuring and win it three times in a row.

This kind of result is actually terrible to think about, and those who have played against them know how terrible it is.

Royce obviously wanted to say something to Lin Yi, but Lin Yi simply said that he would have to play tomorrow and hung up the phone.

Royce on the other end of the phone looked at the phone screen, "Damn! If you want to cheer for tomorrow's game, you hang up. ”

Royce, who still had his phone on his side, refueled Lin Yi in his heart, and then what should he do.

No one wants to encounter an opponent like Barcelona, but since they do, they have to face it bravely.

Lin Yi, who was in Oman, sat on the bed with his mobile phone in his hand, because he knew Reus's character, he even searched the Internet for the grouping of the Champions League, until he saw the news, he was sure that this was true, not Reuss was joking.

Barcelona?

In fact, before Lin Yi became a professional player, his favorite team was Barcelona, and he knew the strength of this team very well.

But at the same time, as a fan with an understanding of football, he could see the shortcomings behind Barcelona's strength.

This team is not invincible, maybe we will win them this time?

After just walking for a moment, he put the phone back on the bedside table.

The Champions League is important, but at the moment my main task is to win the youth team in Iraq.

Recuperating is the most important thing to do now.

Against Iraq, you have to score first, and only by dominating from the start and taking advantage of the game will it be possible to get all three points from this opponent.

If the game drags on to the late stages, the opponent's players will definitely have to adapt to the weather better than their own.

This day was a rare rest, and Lin Yi spent almost it in his room.

Zhang Wei returned to the room at eight o'clock in the evening, looked at the captain who fell asleep again, and couldn't help but sigh that this guy was in such a good mood.

After lying on the bed for a long time, Zhang Wei barely fell asleep.

When he woke up, he opened his eyes and found that it was not even bright outside.

I don't feel like I'm so nervous, why can't I sleep?

Slept one night earlier than Lin and woke up earlier than Lin Yi.

It's no wonder that Lin Yi woke up in the morning and felt that his striker had some dark circles under his eyes.

Lin Yi, who had a toothbrush in his mouth, asked in a very muffled voice, "What?" Nervous? ”

Zhang Wei pretended to shake his head calmly, "Are you kidding? I'm the top scorer in the collegiate league, how nervous am I? ”

"Why don't you get up six times a night?"

Lin Yi really asked Zhang Wei at this time, and he hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to answer.

Lin Yi, who was rinsing his mouth, muttered in his heart: He is really young, and he will believe it if he makes it up casually?

When I arrived at the restaurant, many of the players had already started to eat breakfast, and Lin Yi took a look and saw that the food provided was still good.

In Lin Yi's view, breakfast on game days is really important, and eating it badly may affect the state of the game.

Fu Bo looked at the weather forecast again, and it seems that today's weather is like this.

The minimum temperature was 23 degrees Celsius, sunny and windless.

The time of the game is three o'clock in the afternoon, and the difficulty of the game at this time of the weather is obvious.

In fact, the players have not yet adapted to the temperature and weather here, and many of the players look weak.

Lin Yi was in high spirits, which made Fu Bo feel a little relieved.

Before leaving, Fu Bo called all the players to his side.

The new manager, who was in charge of the team for the first time as a head coach, glanced around, looked at these faces as immature as his own qualifications, and then was the first to reach out.

As the captain of the team, Lin Yi comprehended, and also stretched out a hand to fold on it, and then Wu Lei, Zhang Wei, every player.

"First game! Play our momentum, let the opponent and those who underestimate us know that we are strong! ”

"Strong!"

Lin Yi didn't say anything, just screamed like this, repeating the last word of what the coach said.

He doesn't look serious, but you can tell from his expression that he's not joking.

Team Leader Cao didn't say much, he knew the strength of the team, he didn't need to say anything, as long as he could play well.

Then the players of the Chinese team got on the bus and prepared to go to the competition venue.

Considering the weather, Fu Bo decided to reduce the team's training and warm-up time in the morning a little bit today.

Lin Yi didn't say anything when he heard the head coach's arrangement, but in the shortened warm-up time, he obviously added intensity to himself.

After a brief noon replenishment, the players finally began their final warm-up before the game.

Lin Yi looked at the players on the Iraqi side, most of them were black, although they were not very tall, but they all had a strong-looking physique.

The atmosphere at the stadium was as dreary as the weather today, Oman's football market was not hot, and the under-22 games didn't seem to get as much attention per se.

The few media outlets that are still following the tournament may also have a large part of them coming from China.

After all, Chinese football has been silent for too long, and many people in China hope that the young Lin Yi can lead this young team to make achievements, so that they can maintain a hope for the future when they pay attention to the national football team.

Before the game, a group of fans poured into the scene at the end, but they were also sparse, as listless as they were dizzy from today's sun.

Players from both teams have returned to the locker room and are ready to enter.

Fu Bo was still a little uneasy before the game, and wanted to say a few more words, but looking at Lin Yi, who lowered his head to tie his shoes, he just silently muttered in his heart: Boy, don't let me down.

Finally said a word of cheer to his players, and then he turned and walked out of the dressing room to the dugout.

Lin Yi didn't do some pre-game mobilization like Kyle, nor did he gather everyone together again to shout a slogan.

After scanning everyone's equipment and making sure they were all ready, Lin Yicai finally said a word.

"That's it! Get ready to win. Walk. ”

Opening the door of the locker room, Lin Yi was stunned for a moment for this extremely cold reaction.

Then he smiled a little and led the way into the tunnel of the players.

Along the way, he noticed that his opponents seemed to be looking at him, could it be that I was wearing the wrong jersey? Or is there something wrong?

Thinking so, he had already walked to the referee's side, and on the other side was the captain of the Iraqi team who had already stood still.

The referee turned to look at Lin Yi and stretched out his hand to him.

At this time, Lin Yi's advantage of being proficient in multiple languages was reflected, and he greeted the referee very politely.

The Iraqi captain smiled at Lin, "I've watched your game in Dortmund, it's exciting. ”

Lin Yi didn't like to say kind words, so he just smiled at his opponent and nodded.

"Hopefully you can leave me your shirt after the game, I know there are a lot of people in our team who want to exchange shirts with you, but I think I'll be the first to tell you."

Lin Yi actually wanted to say that if we win, I would exchange jerseys with you, but considering that this would have a bad impact, he only said, "Okay, I will remember to keep it for you when the time comes." ”

The referee actually turned to Lin Yi at this time, "So...... Just give me a spare jersey after the game. ”

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment and looked at the referee in surprise.

"My daughter likes you and says you are very handsome and you play the ball very well, I will take it back to her."

Speaking of this, the referee couldn't help but add, "But actually, I'm still quite optimistic about you." ”

Regarding the reaction of the opponent and the referee, Lin Yi was a little crying and laughing, and I am not a superstar, so it will not be like this.

The gossip time ended with Lin Yi's nod, and the referee put on a serious face, "In the game, pay attention to your own behavior, don't cause any unnecessary trouble." ”

The captains of both teams nodded, but they were not perfunctory, only they knew it.

"CCTV! Cctv! Welcome to the under-22 Asian Cup, which is also the broadcast of the group stage of the men's football qualifiers for the Rio Olympics. ”

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Lu. I'm glad to bring you the commentary of this game today, the two of us are on the scene, and I feel that it is also very hot today. ”

"Yes, that's right, I saw that Director Zhang's shirt seemed to be wet with sweat, and the two of us were just sitting here, and it was already hot like this, and everyone can imagine how tormented the players on the field felt."

"Hey, hey! We saw that the players of both teams started to enter, and Lin Yi started the game today. ”

At this time, in the bars in China, some drinkers shook their heads when they heard this.

"What is this? Excuse the players before the game starts? ”

"Hey! You look at these players, all of them are listless, it really makes people angry to watch. ”

The small pub was already overcrowded, and there were a lot of people who shouted that the team had no hope but were still drinking and cheering for the team in their hearts.

Lin Yi walked at the front of the team, somewhat uncomfortable with this feeling.

Although he also led the team as the captain when he played in China before, Lin Yi felt that it seemed to be a long time ago.

In the words that Lin Yi later wrote in his memoirs: I didn't have a deep impression on the days when I didn't play football, I felt very boring, and in retrospect, I felt that that time was very long. It was as if I had died once, and I didn't come back to life until I accepted Cantona's advice, but at that time, I was only halfway alive.

The team members stood behind him, and then everyone turned around together, and the national anthems of the two countries were played on the spot.

Lin Yi didn't raise his head reverently like his teammates around him and hum along with the music.

He had already begun to figure out how to later team Iraq, and today this sunny ...... But it's also very glaring.

As soon as the process is over, the two teams start to guess the side.

Lin Yi generally doesn't have any requirements for whether to kick off first or later, so he doesn't pay much attention to this process.

But today was different, and he wanted to pick an attacking direction that would be beneficial to his team.

If it's still like a warm-up game, facing the sun in the first half, it's a bit ......

Just as he was thinking, the coin in the referee's hand fell.

When the opponent's captain made a gesture of waving his hand, Lin Yi felt as if his team had conceded a goal.

The Iraqi captain won the right to choose first, and he did not hesitate to choose a side, leaving the direction of the attack in the face of the sun to the Chinese team.

Lin Yi turned his head and smiled bitterly at his teammates, and then walked into the middle circle with Zhang Wei.

The referee finally looked at his watch and corrected the time.

Lin Yi and Zhang Wei stood in the middle circle with the ball, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle.

"The Chinese team attacked from the left side of the screen to the right side, which is not so good, and in the face of strong sunlight, I think it will be affected."

At 3 p.m. local time in Oman, the referee blew the whistle, and the first match of China's youth team under the age of 22 in this Asian Cup officially began.

Zhang Wei knocked the ball to Lin Yi, who stepped on the football and did not pass back at the first time, but observed the opponent's position.

Fu Bo still discharged "4-2-1-3", he believes in Lin Yi's organizational ability, and also understands that if the team wants to win, they should try to put pressure on the opponent in attack.

The Iraqi side lined up a "4-4-2" formation, with two backs, two forwards, and two forwards.

For this kind of position that seems to be a cylinder, Lin Yi still has some experience.

"Okay! At the start of the game, the Chinese team kicked off, and Lin Yi controlled the football. Attack directly?! ”

In Duan Xuan's questioning, Lin Yi's speed was not very fast and pressed forward with the ball.

Lin Yi himself has never felt that he is a star, maybe his performance is not bad, but there are no convincing results.

However, the opponent's coach doesn't think so, at least the three head coaches of their opponents in the group stage of this Asian Cup have already regarded Lin Yi as the most dangerous figure.

Each of them has Lin Yi's information and game video in their hands, and in their opinion, restricting Lin Yi is equivalent to restricting the Chinese team.

Isn't this the old Chinese saying? Capture the thief and capture the king first.

Lin Yi's dribbling this time was actually a kind of temptation, he wanted to see how the opponent dealt with him.

Fu Bo and he had discussed the various possible situations before the game, and they had already made corresponding arrangements.

Iraq's captain was their midfielder, and at the beginning of the game, he swept away the previous peace against Lin Yi and rushed head-on. (To be continued.) )
