191. Aiming for the European Cup
The battle at Wembley ended, and Qiansheng's performance in the first half, especially the video of the goal of the second goal, went viral on websites, videos, and forums around the world.
"Damn, it's farther than the polo king." ――A fan post bar in Baidu
"Qiansheng is still handsome! Yikes! Yikes!!! - A fan base
"From the big forbidden area to the big forbidden area, there are six people in a row, and he has deceived the goalkeeper to hit the empty goal, Qiansheng is the real alien!" ――You know the Emperor of the Ball
The Times: Roy Hodgson's side have won three straight matches in three friendlies, beating Turkey 3-2, Australia 2-1 and beating old rivals Portugal 2-0 for the first time. He didn't play the full game in three games, but he scored five goals and provided two assists, and was involved in all of England's goals, winning the Player of the Year award for three consecutive games. The content shown by the Three Lions in the three games is intriguing, and the biggest variable is undoubtedly the No. 9 Qiansheng.
The Guardian: Wembley star shines at half-time. Two fantasy goals to go down in history! With a long-range instep shot and a long-distance run past seven men in a row, we expect a good performance in France.
The Telegraph: Since Greg took office, the most correct thing he has done is to recruit cadres.
News: Fernando says the England side have a lot of firepower, are young and energetic and are favourites to win the European Championships in France this summer.
Roma Sport: Seeing England's No. 9 riding alone, we seem to see Diego in him, who was omnipotent.
Milan Sport: If you run into this England team, Antonio must send someone to keep an eye on the dead.
"Kicker": Franz said that he was surprised by the outside instep technique that he had shown, especially the outside instep free-kick, which had been practiced since him. He will be in France to watch every England game, hoping to see the outside of his instep free-kick with his own eyes. At the same time, Franz said that he regretted that he did not recruit cadres into the German national team.
Marca: Vincent has to be careful, despite a 6-1 thrashing of South Korea, the opponents were too weak and Spain conceded a goal. In the face of the weak South Korean team, they have conceded goals, if they meet the England team with super firepower, especially the super shooting ability, how many goals will the Spanish defense concede?
France Football: Rafael and Jeremy are injured, resulting in a significant reduction in the strength of the national team's backline. Hopefully, Qian's teammates Laurent and Ngulo can restrain Qiansheng. Alternatively, Didier could listen to Dimitri, who had fought with him.
Soviet Sport: Despite believing in Leondelhi's ability, he led Russia to the finals of the European Championship. But in the first game against England, how to limit their number 9 will be Leondelly's main lesson during the preparation period.
Football Magazine: Moussa and Kevin will tell Mark how good Gan is at shooting. Because their teams, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, were killed by one person. The magical Chinese No.9 scored a hat-trick in three minutes at White Hart Lane, scoring five goals and assisting two goals at the Etihad Stadium, leading all the goals of the game by himself. Hopefully, God willing, don't run into England before reaching the final.
Ta Kung Pao: Qiansheng is the pride of China, and seeing him become the core of the England national team, more than 7 million people in Xiangjiang will cheer for Qiansheng during the European Cup, hoping that Qiansheng can win the European Cup and become a well-deserved national hero in China!
"Sports Weekly": Although it is a pity that Qiansheng did not represent China, as a Chinese star who has the same blood as our Chinese people, this summer, all Chinese fans will definitely support Qiansheng to represent England in the European Cup! Let the Europeans see, we also have talented players in China.
Xinhua News Agency: Congratulations to Qiansheng for his good results in the national team, although he did not represent the Chinese national team, with the prosperity of football in China, the overseas players represented by Xiao Zhang Yuning have shown good strength. Our Chinese football will definitely enter the World Cup in Russia two years later!

"Boss, it's not a good thing to be in such a limelight." Gary Neville said worriedly.
Sitting in a chair in the office, Roy Hodgson looked at the newspaper and smiled slightly: "Gary, it's gold, it will always shine, although I use the new tactic of Qian's core to liberate him from the No. 9 position, on the one hand, it is to cover up his powerful shooting ability and avoid attracting the attention of the enemy, on the other hand, the new tactic does require Qian's control on the court, and this tactic needs more time to run in." ”
After a pause, putting down the newspaper in his hand, Hodgson got up, walked to the tactics board, took down the chess piece printed with No. 9, and said: "Gary, I didn't expect Qian's comprehension of the new tactics to be so strong, after three games, basically, he executed very well, although many details still need time to run in." ”
Hodgson put the No. 9 chess piece in the middle of the tactical board, pointed to the chess piece, and said to Neville: "The data analysis of the three games, when the dry retreat to the midfield, the team's possession rate is as high as 79.8%, almost eighty percent, in international competitions, although the possession rate is not the decisive factor, but it is definitely the most important factor to control the game." From the league to these three friendlies, it's important to us that we have opened the scoring in almost every one of them in a short period of time. Once you've made the beginning, you'll be able to do it later. ”
Neville nodded and said: "Use Gan's hard work and the players' strong athleticism to try to score goals early in the game, and then Gan retreats to the midfield to control the midfield with his overall vision and vision." ”
"Yes, as the saying goes, the one who wins the midfield wins the world, Qian's super athletic ability, as well as his tactical execution, and on-the-spot tactical command ability, can take care of the midfield very well. Moreover, this kind of midfield control is completely different from Barcelona's. ”
Neville nodded sympathetically, Hodgson's mind is still very clear, if he wants to occupy the midfield advantage in front of the powerful German team, the Spanish team, and the Italian team, to be honest, he can't do it with the current England midfield. Because since Paul Gascoigne, England's midfield has never had a technical midfielder who is good at organization and rhythm, and it is undoubtedly self-digging to compete with French, German, Spanish and other teams with many strong midfielders in the midfield.
The main reason for withdrawing Qiansheng into the midfield is that he has the vision and mind that other midfielders in England do not have, especially the ability to understand tactics and change tactics on the spot.
Young cadres are still in the growth period in terms of technology, especially in small skills, and there is naturally a huge gap between those skilled midfielders.
But he can make up for it with his athleticism, organising the midfield by anticipating his ability to run off the ball and changing the tempo of the game according to the opponent's situation.
On the surface, it would be at the expense of Qiansheng's incomparably powerful shooting ability, because away from the goal, Qiansheng would get fewer scoring opportunities.
But in international competitions, it's not about scoring more goals, it's about conceding less. As long as you are a fan, you know a famous saying, offense wins the game, defense wins the championship.
Therefore, Qiansheng will enhance England's control in the midfield, and Hodgson's tactics are to take advantage of Qiansheng's habit of scoring lightning goals, taking the lead and then laying heavy defenses in the midfield, waiting for opportunities to counterattack.
Some people may say, why not put a bus in the backfield and defend intensively?
Because the midfield is a battleground for soldiers, the threat is less when the bus is placed in the midfield, away from the goal, and compared with the backfield steal, the steal in the midfield, the counterattack is more rapid and sudden, and closer to the opponent's goal, the threat of counterattack will be greater.
In fact, if there was no dry student, Hodgson would not have dared to defend in the midfield and look for opportunities to counterattack. Because England's midfielders, whether it is Wayne Rooney, the captain of the national team who retreats to play in the midfield, or Adam Lallana and Jack Wilshere, who are technically good, cannot accurately launch a counter-attack in the moment of the transition between attack and defense.
Wayne Rooney's long ball was good, but it needed space and time, and the midfield was too close to goal.
Lallana has a bad vision and launching a quick counter-attack will only make a mistake.
Wilshere's counter-attack relied on dribbling, and when he was asked to pass the ball, the opponent was already in position.
Hodgson gave the burden of switching offense and defense to Qiansheng, just because he was interested in his increasingly good passing.
In the middle, he can use the outside instep of his left and right feet to deliver a lethal pass, and on the wing, he has learned Pei's cross skills, and the arc of the cross is like David Beckham's skill back then. This is all due to the continuous practice of Qiansheng every day, and the passing skills that he learned.
The most amazing thing is that in one of his games in the league, he shocked all four with a nolookpass. However, this kind of clever pass can only happen occasionally.
"Boss." Neville frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid they have already made targeted tactical arrangements for Qian, I'm worried about ......."
"Worried that the dry will be targeted to death, which will affect the team's results?" Hodgson smiled, waved his hand, and said, "I admit that if Qian's death is stared at, or Qian's absence from the court, this team will play the same way." But, Gary. ”
Hodgson's face gradually became grim: "Life is a gamble, you and I know in our hearts, no, the strength of this team, even if you break through the sky, you can enter the top four, and this is still without meeting France, Spain, Germany, and even Italy." But with Qian, the team can play this tactic and hope to win our first European Cup! Therefore, we can only and must believe in the dry. Moreover, there are a total of seven games in the European Cup, and Gan only played eight games last season, and only half of the games were played to the full. ”
"European Cup winner!" Neville said excitedly.
Yes, Hodgson's ambition is to win the European Championship this summer and become England's hero. (To be continued.) )
