Chapter 195: Warm-up debut
Although it was only a warm-up match, as the first game of the year between the two teams, both sides still valued it very much. At the press conference before www.biquge.info game, the coaches of both teams expressed the importance they attached to the game. In particular, Rehhagel has expressed a strong interest in the current Chinese team, because in the past six months, Chen Jianhao, a talented teenager who has caused a sensation in the entire European football world, has joined it. He said at the press conference that he really wanted to see the style of the Portuguese top scorer in this game and see how strong the legendary 17-year-old talent is.
For Rehhagel's wish, Camacho said that he must strive to meet it, he said that although Chen Jianhao is not very old now, he is quite talented and has enough strength to gain a foothold in the national team, and it should not be a problem to play in this game.
Obviously, compared to the process and result of this game, the reporters are more concerned about Chen Jianhao's problem, and the attraction of this talented player has far exceeded the game itself. They are very excited and looking forward to Camacho's commitment, and Chen Jianhao can have a brilliant performance in this game to attract the attention of more fans.
However, even if Chen Jianhao's strength has reached a certain level, given that he is playing in the national team for the first time, his understanding of the team and the tacit understanding with his teammates are not enough, it is impossible to start from the beginning, and he must watch the game from the bench first, which greatly disappoints reporters who hope that he can become the main player. Chen Jinwu didn't pay any attention to him at all, after all, compared to the shock that Chen Jianhao brought to people, he was still far inferior.
With the referee's whistle, the warm-up match between China and Greece officially began.
"Brother Jianhao, how many do you think we can win today?"
Chen Jinwu, who also failed to start today, and Chen Jianhao, who was sitting with Chen Jianhao, asked his friend very easily. In the past, he liked to ask questions like this. In his eyes, the Chinese team is actually not worth mentioning at all, not to mention that the opponent is Greece. For the opponent, it is not a question of whether they can win at all, but whether they can win more, and how many they can win in the end.
"Although the Chinese team doesn't look strong, we are not easy to deal with in the warm-up game, and I think the opposite side will fall into a bitter battle today! But what...... If we can play earlier, we can win this game. ”
"Cut, what do you say about yourself......" Chen Jinwu glanced at Chen Jianhao with disdain.
Chen Jianhao said: "As soon as we two brothers get up, there is really no team in this world that can stop it!" ”
"Low profile! Brother Jianhao, keep a low profile! ”
"Got it, got it! Alas, it's all too rare to see a low-key genius like us......"
These two guys are talking nonsense off the field, and the Chinese players on the field are not so easy. Greece is indeed a very difficult team to deal with, under the tutelage of Rehhagel, their whole system has begun to take shape, although compared to the blockbuster mythical team, there is still a big gap, but now no matter who it is, it is very difficult to deal with. If you think about it, you will know that even some of the world's top teams have no way to take Greece, and now they are only barely squeezing into the ranks of the world's first-class, and it is only the third-rate end of the level of China, let alone easy to get. Although China has some small advantages on the field on the surface, but that is also by virtue of their continuous efforts to spell out, they played, it was really very hard, very laborious, now they have fully felt the difficulty of Greece, the previous bit of luck, has been completely thrown out of the clouds.
In the 24th minute, Greece narrowly took the lead. Zhang Linqiao put the Greek attacking player in the rush and gave the opponent a free kick on the right side of the field. Obviously, the Greek team has begun to focus on the coordination of set-pieces at this time, and this time, they played a good effect, under the cover of his teammates, striker Nikoladis ran out of the air, received a free kick from Zagorakis, and swept the ball into the Chinese goal. However, unfortunately, due to a slight offside when he received the ball, the goal was disallowed, Greece failed to take the lead through this attack, and the Chinese team also escaped.
"It's very hanging!"
Seeing that Greece's goal was blown away, Chen Jinwu was relieved. The set-piece cooperation just now reminded Chen Jinwu of the achievements of the magical Greek team in set-pieces in the original history. In a team that is predominantly defensive, set-pieces have become their main weapon in scoring, and whether it's a corner or a free-kick, the Greeks can always cause very much trouble for their opponents. And judging from this game, Greece is already developing in that direction, which shows that their success is not accidental.
The game on the field continued, in the 30th minute, the Chinese team also got a good chance to score, a careless return pass by the Greek team's defender Basinas, was wandering in the front of Yu Dabao behind him, directly stealing down in the halfway, and then got a chance to score a single goal. However, it may be because this opportunity came too suddenly, and even Yu Dabao himself was not prepared, he could have easily broken the goal, but he sent the ball weakly into the arms of the opponent's goalkeeper, missing the opportunity to score first for China.
"It's a pity......"
Chen Jianhao and Chen Jinwu sighed at the same time, expressing regret for the ball. Although Yu Dabao is a good striker and can always create a lot of scoring opportunities, at the same time, he also has a very fatal shortcoming, that is, he lacks the ability to grasp opportunities, and always wastes some very good shooting opportunities, which makes people look anxious.
But even so, the Chinese unexpectedly scored first. Two minutes after Dabao wasted this opportunity, the Chinese team made a comeback again. Gao Lin, who used his personal ability to continuously break through the Greek back, suddenly made a wonderful back-heel pass in the middle of the march, creating a great opportunity for Zheng Zhi, who was inserted in time behind him. And the latter did not waste this big gift, when facing the attacking goalkeeper, he chose to push the far corner and smoothly sent the ball into the goal, breaking the deadlock on the field for China. 1:0, the Chinese team playing away took the lead.
After taking the lead, China's confidence doubled, and it continued to launch a fierce attack on the heart of Greece, and almost made another success. In the 36th minute, it was Yu Dabao again, after he succeeded in anti-offside, he used a clever pick on the penalty line to deceive goalkeeper Nick Polydis, but unfortunately, this time, although he did not waste the opportunity as vaguely as the last time, it seems that God just doesn't want him to score, and the ball is about to fly into the goal at the moment, which was blocked by Dabizas, who arrived in time, to avoid the embarrassing situation of Greece falling behind by two goals.
For the remainder of the first half, Greece stepped up their counter-attack, but it didn't work out and failed to equalise in front of half-time.
In this way, at the end of the half, the Chinese team actually entered the locker room as a leader with Yu Hai's goal.
"Hey, I said, Jingo, according to our performance in the first half, in the second half, we don't need to play at all, we can level Greece, you say, do we still have a chance?"
Chen Jianhao is naturally happy that the team can win, but if this is the case, he may not have a chance to perform, which makes him very conflicted. Of course, there is some joking in this sentence, after all, the Chinese team's lead was completely unexpected by them.
"Don't worry, we'll have a chance!"
Although I don't know what this game will look like, Chen Jinwu is very clear that although China is now leading in the score and seems to have an advantage on the field, but in fact, Greece is so vulnerable, they obviously still have spare strength in the first half, and the Chinese players, due to too much entanglement with the opponent in the midfield, the consumption of physical energy, is far greater than the opponent, in the second half, it will be much harder.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, the Greek team suddenly strengthened and caught the Chinese team off guard. In the 48th minute, Charlie Steas's header was saved by Zeng Cheng, and then Zagorakis's follow-up shot was blocked by Feng Xiaoting in front of the goal, and Nikoladis's subsequent follow-up shot hit Zhang Linpeng's body and popped up the bottom line.
"It's dangerous!"
The Greek shot just now made all the players on the bench stand up in fright, and they didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they saw that the ball was not scored.
"Chen Jianhao, Chen Jinwu, go warm up!"
Camacho obviously couldn't sit still, and began to take the initiative to change, ready to send these two talented players to change the situation on the field in China.
"Okay, Coach!"
These two boys have been holding back for a long time, and this order is no less than the sound of heaven for them, so they hurriedly took off their coats, and the two of them began to warm up.
"It seems that you really suffocated the two of them, look at Chen Jinwu's eyes on fire, and then look at Chen Jianhao's anxious appearance, I'm afraid that after a while, they can turn Greece upside down!"
The assistant coach of the national team said to Camacho with a smile, he knows very well in his heart that the future Chinese team will basically rely on two people to support, and he is full of confidence in these two unborn talents.
"Hehe, there is no doubt about the ability of the two of them, now I just hope that the people on the pitch can hold the one-goal lead until 60 minutes later, then we will really have a chance to win the game!"
Camacho nodded in response. However, the excellent performance of the Greek team made his wishful thinking come to naught. (To be continued.) )
