Chapter 157: Warm-up in Madrid

Xiao Chen, the sophomore dog, was wearing headphones in the bedroom, shaking his head while listening, and the theme song of the South African World Cup "Wakawaka" came from the headphones, which was the second time that the Latin diva Shakira sang the theme song of the World Cup.

Today is June 1st, Children's Day, and for fans, this day has a special meaning, that is, tomorrow morning, the Chinese team will play a warm-up match against the Spanish national team at the Bernabeu.

Xiao Chen put down his headphones, set the alarm clock, and waited for the early morning to get up to watch the Chinese team's game.

*****

The opening day of the World Cup is on June 11, so after this friendly match, the Chinese team will fly directly to South Africa.

Previously, the Chinese team had submitted a 30-man squad to FIFA, and the final 23-man squad will be submitted on June 3.

That is to say, after this game, some players will go back to China, which is very cruel, but there is no way, this is football.

At present, it seems that Wang Dalei, Mu Fei, Zhou Dun, Yin Di, Geng Chong, Fang Suo, Li Weifeng, Shen Rui, Zheng Zhi, Sun Jihai, Chen Green, Ji Ke, Qu Bo, these 13 people will definitely follow Li to South Africa, and the rest of the people are not easy to say, no one dares to say that they can go to South Africa 100%.

In the hotel in Madrid, the atmosphere before the war was a little depressing, Li Guo knew very well what everyone was thinking now, this was like the mood on the day of the college entrance examination, worried, except for those top students, everyone was worried.

"Li Guo, do you have a list of 23 people in mind?" Chen An asked.

"Let's talk about it after the game against Spain."

"It feels so cruel,"

FIFA's rule is to submit a 30-man squad in May and finalize the 23-man squad, which is intended to prevent players from being injured and causing changes in the roster, but as Chen An said, this feeling is still too cruel.

"Let's have dinner together today, I'll say a few words."

*****

At dinner, the atmosphere between the national football players was very harmonious, this is the change brought by Li Guo, the team must be united, anyone who is not united will be expelled by Li Guo, no matter how big a name he is.

Li Guo knocked on the glass, and everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Li Guo.

"As you know, June 3 is the last moment to submit the squad, when seven players will leave,"

At this point, everyone was silent, and everyone knew what it meant!

"Head, do you have a list in mind?" Someone asked.

"No, not yet, wait until after the warm-up match against Spain."

"But what I want to say is that in my heart, the national football team is 30 people, please believe me."

"We believe in heads,"

Li Guo knew that anything he said now might seem hypocritical, but he still had to say that after Li Guo, Chen An said a few more words, and then Robin, everyone still laughed when he spoke, and liked to joke about his half-baked English.

*****

Walking into the Bernabeu, when the Chinese players stepped on the turf to warm up, they were opposite the Spanish superstars.

Casillas, Puyol, Alonso, Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Busquets, Xavi, Torres, Iniesta.

These resounding names are usually only seen on TV, but now they are standing not far away.

For the players of the Chinese team, they are like unattainable peaks, Mu Fei walked to Li Weifeng's side, "Boss, that's Harvey." ”

"What's wrong with Harvey?"

In fact, when he said this, Li Weifeng himself was nervous, but the loser does not lose the battle, Li Weifeng said: "We are also the top 32 of the World Cup, no less arms and legs than others, don't be afraid." ”

After hearing this, Mu Fei thought to himself: "Domineering, worthy of being the boss." ”

When the players were warming up, Li Guo on the sidelines seemed to be lined up on the tactical board, the starters had been determined, and Li Guo was changing the possible formation.

"What do you think, Big Sam?"

Goalkeeper - Wang Dalei.

Back line - Mu Fei, Zhou Dun, Yin Di, Geng Chong.

Back waist - Fang Suo, Li Weifeng.

Avant-garde line - Shen Rui, Zheng Zhi, Sun Jihai.

Single striker - Chen Green.

Li Guo lined up a 4321, a Christmas tree formation, and then a 451, in short, it was a defensive formation.

Sam Allardyce shook his head after reading it, "Spanish football originated from Barcelona, and Barcelona's pass-and-control football is useless with your passive defense. ”

"What then?"

"Take the initiative to defend and press a little more fiercely,"

"My players may not be able to do that yet."

Sam Allardyce said: "I'm only in charge of coming up with ideas, who cares if your team can do it? ”

"Damn."

Li Guo estimated that the Spanish side was in a 433 formation, because Barcelona was in a 433 formation.

Goalkeeper - Casillas

Defenders - Ramos, Puyol, Pique, Capdevilla

Midfielders - Alonso, Sergio Busquets, Xavi

Forwards - Pedro, Villa, Iniesta

Judging by Euro 2008, if these guys are crazy about passing football, they are really unbeatable.

As a traverser, Li Guo has his own advantages, he knows that Bayern Munich defeated Barcelona in the Champions League in 2013 with pass-and-possession football, and Heynckes used the same method as Allardyce's idea, which is to press all over the field.

Li Guo remembered that game, Robben and Ribery were basically used as fullbacks, but it was still the same sentence, the reason is very simple, but the current Chinese team still can't do it, if you force it, the player's physical fitness is likely to hang up at half time.

"Forget it, leave him alone, let's talk about it then."

*****

Before the start of the game, Li Guo noticed that someone in the stands played a Chinese slogan - national football cheers, in Spain, the Chinese mainly live in the two big cities of Barcelona and Madrid, and there should be more Chinese in Madrid.

So at a cursory glance, the current Chinese are estimated to be about 10,000, which is quite large.

Li Guo applauded at the stands where the Chinese were, and at this time the national football players entered, and there was a burst of cheers at the scene, and then the cheers of the Chinese team came and went.

The two sides dispersed and lined up in their own formations, and then with the referee's whistle, the friendly match between Spain and China officially began. (To be continued.) )
