Chapter 3 National Team Debut 2
The purpose of this national team training camp and European training is to prepare for the last two Asian Cup qualifiers in October this year and the Asian Cup next summer.
Before the squad was announced, many people said that all overseas players would be selected, but when the list was announced, it was not the case.
Only Yu Liang, King Dong and Li Tie were selected, and there was also a Shi Jun who Yu Liang was not familiar with!
Sun Jihai, who is the main player in Manchester City, and Shao Jiayi, who plays for Munich 1860, were not selected for the training camp.
After getting off the plane, Yu Liang rushed to the Dabao Hotel non-stop.
"Oh, a warm welcome to the Manchester United star!"
Yu Liang dragged his luggage and just walked into the hall when he heard the sound of yin and yang.
When I turned my head, I saw Chen Tao and a few of them sitting on the sofa, looking at themselves with a smile.
"I'll be looking for you later!"
Among the players who participated in the training camp this time, six were from the national youth players who participated in the World Youth Championships last year. In addition to him and King Dong were selected, there were also Chen Tao, Gao Lin, Zhao Xuri and Hao Junmin.
However, among the national youth teammates selected this time, Yu Liang was selected for the national team for the first time.
In this training list, Wang Dalei, a young player from Shanghai Liancheng, Wang Yun from Kweichow Moutai, Zhang Yonghai from Liaoning Hongyun and Han Peng from Shandong Luneng were also selected for the first time.
After completing the check-in procedures, Yu Liang walked directly to Chen Tao and them.
"When did you arrive?"
"It's only been a long time! How's it going, is it cool to live in Belgium? ”
Although Yu Liang did not return to China for more than half a year, he still kept in touch with some of his teammates in the national youth team.
Chen Tao is one of them.
After the World Youth Championships, the midfield core of the national youth team has received a lot of attention, among which the Belgian giants Anderlecht are very eager to get this talented midfielder.
and invited Chen Tao to Belgium to participate in the trial, but because Shenyang Jinde's asking price was too high, after a month of tug-of-war, the two sides were still unable to reach an agreement, and Chen Tao's dream of staying abroad was shattered.
"It's okay! How are you, still thinking about going out? ”
Compared with many national youth teammates, Yu Liang feels that he is the luckier one.
On the issue of transfer, the provincial football school did not set up too many obstacles, which was the biggest factor for him to stay in the United States smoothly.
If the provincial football school is the same as Jinde, where the lion opens his mouth, it is estimated that he will only be able to compete in the middle league in China.
"You kid is a full man, not a hungry man!"
After Chen Tao beat Yu Liang, his mood was a little irritable.
"I still want to go out, let's wait until the end of this season!"
Seeing that Chen Tao was a little depressed, Yu Liang didn't ask again.
Through past contacts, Yu Liang knows one thing that after the failure of the transfer to Antlecht, a lot of contradictions broke out between Chen Tao and the club.
After chatting with his teammates for a while, Yu Liang returned to his room.
After resting in the room for a while, Yu Liang and his teammates took a bus to the training base in Xianghe, Hebei Province, and started the first training session.
There was nothing special about Yu Liang's first training session in the national football team, mainly focusing on recovery training. In the next two days, Yu Liangdu and the national team trained at the Xianghe training base.
After the two-day run-in training, Yu Liang and the others flew to Switzerland on the morning of June 1, and then they will start a week-long training trip to Europe.
After arriving in Zurich, King Dong, Li Tie and Shi Jun rushed over to join the team.
In this training camp, the Football Association was very humane and did not force them to fly back to China and assemble with the team first.
After two days of recuperation in Switzerland, they welcomed their first opponent in Europe, the Swiss national team.
This warm-up match was mainly arranged because in the next World Cup match, the Swiss team and the South Korean team were in the same group. The Swiss team wants to find a way to deal with the South Korean team through the match against the Chinese team.
The match was played at 5 p.m. local time on June 3 at the Hadtum Stadium, the home of the Zurich Grasshoppers.
In this game, Zhu Guanghu discharged a diamond-shaped position of 442. On the front line is Han Peng and Li Jinyu, who were selected for the national team for the first time. Gao Lin and Xu Liang, who have been playing as strikers in the midfield, are separated from the two wings, Zheng Zhi suddenly organizes the attack, and Zhao Junzhe drags the back defense. On the back line, Li Weifeng and Ji Mingyi partnered in the center back, and the two fullbacks were Cao Yang and Xu Yunlong.
The Swiss side did not have all the main players in the game, and Senderos, the main defender who plays for Arsenal, did not appear in the starting line-up. The full-backs were Behrami and Grishtin, who were usually substitutes in the Swiss national team, with Frei, who is known for his speed, and Streller, a high-school striker, in the attack.
As soon as the game began, the Swiss team launched a ferocious press.
Although the attacking line of the Chinese team was led by the Luneng Trident, they did not create many chances in the opening stages.
On the contrary, it is the Swiss team that plays at home that frequently threatens the door of the Chinese team.
However, they were not able to break the door of the Chinese team quickly.
After the Chinese team adapted to the rhythm on the field, they also played several wonderful attacks.
In the 25th minute, the Chinese team took a free kick in front, Xu Liang directly found Han Peng in the penalty area, and the tall Han Peng was the opponent's central defender Magnin to head the goal, but under the interference of the opponent, the football bounced off the post after the ground.
In the 35th minute, Li Jinyu got a chance in the front court, turned and shot, this low shot was fast, but in the end it still missed the post, shocking the Swiss team in a cold sweat.
The Chinese team, who missed two great scoring opportunities in a row, conceded in the subsequent defense.
In the 39th minute, Swiss midfielder Volger launched a surprise attack from the midfield, and David Degen stepped in and passed the ball to the other end of the box near the right baseline. Veki, who was inserted at high speed on the left, received the ball in the box and knocked on the middle, and Frei pushed it into the net in front of the goal, 1-0!
The Swiss team broke the deadlock on the field.
After conceding the goal, the Chinese team quickly launched a counterattack.
Until the end of the first half, the Chinese team was not able to knock on the door of the Swiss team.
Among them, Xu Liang got a good chance in stoppage time.
Xu Yunlong crossed from the right, and Xu Liangyu, who followed up in the middle, jumped to the top and missed the post. Missed chance to equalise.
In the second half, the Swiss team made three substitutions in a row at half-time.
Less than two minutes into the game, the Chinese goalkeeper Li Leilei made a mistake and hit the ball with both fists into the hands of Swiss striker Streller and bounced into the goal.
The referee on duty for this handball did not see it, and the goal was counted, and the Swiss team led 2-0.
Less than two minutes after Streller's goal, the Chinese team suffered another blow.
Li Weifeng fouled in the penalty area and put down Magnus, the referee awarded a penalty, and Frey hit the penalty, 3-0!
At this time, Zhu Guanghu, who was sitting on the sidelines, was no longer calm.
The purpose of this European training, in addition to running in the lineup, is to build confidence for the players by forcing a draw or defeating a European powerhouse. This is good for the next two Asian Cup qualifiers.
Seeing that the team was behind by three goals, Zhu Guanghu immediately made substitution adjustments.
King Dong and Shi Jun replaced Han Peng and Gao Lin, and played three forwards.
Shi Jun played for the youth team in the Swiss Super League.
However, Shi Jun's stay in the ocean does not rely on his own outstanding strength, but more on the operation of his agent.
Although Shi Jun gained a firm foothold in the youth team, he did not perform brilliantly.
He has made 13 appearances all season and has failed to score a single goal. Starting against Schaffhausen in March, he used his header to force an own goal and was his only bright spot of the season.
Zhu Guanghu's adjustment did not bring improvement to the Chinese team's offense.
Although Dong Wanggui is the Golden Boot of the Second League, he has no support in the front court, and his performance on the front line is average.
The Chinese team, which did not improve in attack, was broken through again in the 73rd minute.
Streller, who successfully countered offside, faced Li Leilei, who attacked, poked his toes, and then jumped over Li Leilei to shoot an empty goal into the net, 4-0!
Although Zhu Guanghu, who was anxious, then adjusted the midfield, Yu Liang did not get the opportunity to play.
sat on the bench for 90 minutes, and could only witness the fiasco of the Chinese team!
It wasn't until the game went into injury time that the Chinese team scored a face-saving goal by King Dong.
4-1!
The first game of the Chinese team's European training ended in a fiasco! (To be continued.) )
