There are also many stars in the Ghana team, and there are two more representative ones, one is Jordan Ayew who plays in the Premier League, and the other is Gyan.
Before the start of the game, a small theatrical performance was held in the stadium, which was a rap brought by a local rap artist, and the rap talent of Africans is still obvious to all.
At the beginning of the game, the rhythm of the Chinese team was disrupted, and they immediately realized the power of Ghana, no wonder the German team was afraid of Ghana in the World Cup.
The physicality and speed of the African players are outstanding, what they lack is teamwork, but Ghana is different, their players are playing in Europe, their manager is European, so this is a standard European team.
Before coming to Ghana, the national football team played a warm-up game in Asia, but the pace was very slow, so it couldn't adapt to such a fast pace for a while.
"Fang Suo, mention the spirit, the other party is really with us!"
Fang Suo nodded, he was originally ready to retract his strength, but now it seems that it will not work, and he must show 100% of his state.
Zhou Dun and Fang Suo quickly stabilized the Chinese team's midfield, so that the opponent's advantage went down.
Jordan Ayew.
Fonso knew that this guy was a ruthless character, and he had encountered it in the Premier League, and unlike the usual slightly bulky African players, Jordan Ayew belonged to the kind of striker who played with his brain.
After breaking through a few times in the middle and failing to take advantage of Zhou Dun, Jordan Ayew cruised to the side.
Zhou Dun pointed, meaning to let Mu Fei be careful, the side road is Mu Fei's territory.
With the home fans cheering on and cheering, Ghana's attack was generally dominant, but there was no absolute chance in the penalty area.
The Chinese team has just arrived in Ghana, and some players have not even been transferred to the time difference, and it is impossible to show 100% form.
The first half was tied 0-0.
At halftime, the national football players almost unanimously expressed their tiredness, Li Guo nodded, it stands to reason that the warm-up match should be gradual, but the national football team A-level game was arranged, that is, with Ghana, after all, it is not easy for the players of the national football team to come back once.
"It's okay, the warm-up game is not the most important thing, I won't ask you to give it your all."
But those who can stand on the court are fighters and will not take the initiative to lie down.
In the second half, the Chinese team made substitutions, using up three substitutions in one go, Ji Ke replaced Chen Green, Pu Shuang replaced Liao Lisheng, and Gao Zhunyi replaced Li Heng.
As soon as Kiko came on the pitch, he was on the bar with Schlupp of Ghana, a player from Leicester City in the Premier League, who is a tall man who can play both defenders and midfielders, and is a very strong defensive player.
Kiko's figure is invincible in Asia, and he doesn't suffer in front of European teams, but in front of the black and hard Ghana defenders, Kiko really can't take advantage of anything.
"Damn, I don't believe it yet," Ji Ke understands that his skills are not as good as Chen Green, Li Guo must be smashing himself, if he can't play in the World Cup, it means that his value in the national football team has also been greatly reduced.
"Lin Zhijian, upload it to me."
Lin Zhijian nodded, and then Ji Ke greeted Qu Bo again, and his teammates also felt very strange in their hearts, why was Ji Ke so positive today.
In fact, only Ji Ke himself knows that as the No. 2 striker of the national football team, his position is unstable, and the warm-up game is the best opportunity to prove himself.
The Chinese team can basically play with Ghana in the second half, thanks to Zhou Dun's super strength.
Ghana couldn't attack for a long time, several strikers simply didn't return to defense, Grant was angry, this is the problem of African teams, do whatever they want, he stressed many times that the strikers must run back to the midfield to form the first interception.
Without the first interception, Zhou Dun rushed up with the ball directly, and the defense of the Ghana team was overstretched all of a sudden.
Zhou Dun observed while running, Ji Ke kept pointing to his head, Zhou Dun understood, and passed it to Ji Ke with a long oblique kick.
"Okay," Ji Ke predicted, this ball is good, he should be able to top it, Schlupp is like a shadow, and he has already stuck to Ji Ke.
Kiko stuck his position, Schlupp was like a boulder, Kiko jumped high, "Ah, almost." ”
Just when Giko regretted it, the referee blew the whistle, and then pointed to the penalty spot, and the referee decided that Schlupp pushed Giko.
Ji Ke clenched his fists, "Beautiful, although it looks black, it's really not a black whistle." ”
Ji Ke was also very happy to help the team get a penalty, as usual, Chen Green was not there, so the penalty was taken by Zhou Dun, but unexpectedly, Zhou Dun stuffed the ball into Ji Ke's hand, "You go and play." ”
"Me!"
In fact, everyone can see the efforts on the court, Ji Ke is so active today, and Zhou Dun sees it in his eyes.
"Go ahead, I trust you."
Ji Kele is a goal, he really wants to score, of course the penalty is the best chance, but after thinking about it, he feels a lot of pressure.
Ji Ke stood in front of the ball, the whole stadium sounded boos, the Ghana goalkeeper jumped around on the goal line, all this did not shake Ji Ke, the arch of his foot pushed, Ji Ke hit the ball firmly into the upper corner of the goal, and the Chinese team led 1-0.
After falling behind by one goal, Grant immediately made a substitution and replaced two, and the Chinese team began to recover.
In a game like the World Cup, a good defense can go to the end, so retreating is a strategy, not a tiredness.
The Ghana team launched a fierce counterattack, and the Chinese team was also a little embarrassed, but fortunately withstood it, and the final score was 1-0.
The home fans were a little disappointed, but it was a warm-up game after all, and the Ghanaians showed their generosity, and they also gave the Chinese team a round of applause.
Grant was very serious, he chatted with the referee after the game, and Grant was not convinced by the penalty awarded to the Chinese team.
The referee made a push gesture, and Grant shook his finger: "Both people have movements, it should be mutual." ”
The referee smiled and didn't explain further.
Li Guo walked over to Grant, as a courtesy after the game, Li Guo shook hands with the other party, and the two had no communication and were not familiar with each other.
After playing this game, the Chinese team will not have an international A-level warm-up match, the World Cup is gradually approaching, and Li Guo's preparation has reached the final stage.
After the game, Li Guo had a meal with everyone at the station, and then the players divided their things, and the players who played in Europe flew directly to Europe, and those who played in China went back with Li Guo.
