Chapter 4 National Team Debut 3
After the full game, Zhu Guanghu immediately returned to the locker room and did not accept media interviews on the sidelines.
This made the reporters who were holding their stomachs angry and couldn't find a place to sprinkle.
When they saw Yu Liang standing on the sidelines, they rushed over.
"Yu Liang, can you talk about this game?"
"Can you talk about the reasons for the big loss? Is it directly related to your lack of appearance? ”
Looking at the reporters surrounding him, Yu Liang knew that it was impossible to go directly back to the locker room.
But throughout the game, the Chinese team's attack was chaotic and clueless.
Under the heavy pressure of the Swiss team, Xu Liang and Gao Lin were basically pushed to the front, and when there was no help on the offensive end, they also increased the defensive pressure of Zhao Junzhe and Zheng Zhi.
Zheng Zhi, who was tired of defense, naturally couldn't divide his energy into organizing the attack.
Without the support of the midfield, the attack is naturally weak.
But will he be able to solve the problem of the Chinese team's weak offense?
He doesn't know!
But he couldn't tell the reporter directly.
Journalists are a bold bunch of people who dare to write anything! This is not a good thing to write, but it will affect his future in the national team.
After a deep groan, Yu Liang organized the wording, "I'm very happy to be selected for the national team!" To be able to play for my country is the highest honour for a player......"
Yu Liang and the reporters talked about the player's honor for three or four minutes, and he didn't mention a word about the game.
After speaking, Yu Liang declined the interview.
At this time, the reporter was not good at stopping Yu Liang, after all, people also talked about it for three or four minutes.
After getting rid of the reporters, Yu Liang went straight back to the locker room.
The gloom of the fiasco hung over them, and the atmosphere in the locker room was somewhat oppressive.
The loss to Switzerland did not happen, mainly because in this game, they did not play the routine of Zhu Gui's overall quick counterattack.
After the race against Switzerland, they took a bus to Saint-Etienne, France.
After a journey of more than 400 kilometers and five hours, they arrived in Saint-Etienne.
After two days of training here, on the evening of June 7th, they welcomed their second opponent, the French team, at the Gauvrey-Guichal Stadium!
In this game, Zhu Guanghu made an adjustment to the starting lineup, Dong Wangwang, who scored a goal at the last moment of the last game, still did not get the start, the front line was partnered by Han Peng and Gao Lin, and the midfielders Tao Wei and Zhao Xuri started the game, partnering Zheng Zhi and Zhao Junzhe. At the back, Zhang Yaokun replaced Li Weifeng in the starting list. The goalkeeper is still Li Leilei.
Although the World Cup is only two days away, the French team is still the main force in this game.
Up front, Thierry Henry and Cisse were partnered. In midfield, Zinedine Zidane, Patrick Vieira, Claude Makelele and Malouda all came on. The back line is made up of Sagnol, Thuram, Gallas and Abidal. The goalkeeper is veteran Butters.
The match welcomed a special fan at the Goffrey Guishar Stadium, and French President Jacques Chirac was also on hand to cheer on the team.
Under the chanting of the fans in the stadium, after the opening, the French team launched a strong attack without reservation. But in the first few minutes they didn't get a good chance.
In the 8th minute, Henry made a shot from outside the penalty area, but it was blocked by Zhao Xuri. The ensuing corner did not pose a threat.
The Chinese team then launched a counterattack!
Unlike the last hasty match against the Swiss team, the Chinese team, which has been adjusted and trained, showed different characteristics in the counterattack.
A resolute, quick counter-attack gave them a free-kick opportunity on the left side of the pitch.
Zheng Zhi's free kick directly found Han Peng in the penalty area, and the tall Han Peng missed several opportunities in the last game! This time was no exception, and although he grabbed the penalty and scored with a header, the ball went over the crossbar.
After missing the opportunity to score, the Chinese team immediately launched a defense and fought on the spot.
In a scramble with Cisse, Zheng Zhi directly put down Cisse.
A painful Cisse was then lifted off the pitch and France were forced to make a substitution for Trezeguet.
Although the Chinese team entered the state faster than the previous game and performed well after the opening, they quickly made mistakes in the face of the strong attack of the French team.
In the 14th minute, Zidane continued to pass the ball in the Chinese team's penalty area, and was directly knocked down by Han Peng, and the referee directly awarded a penalty.
Zidane personally took the penalty shot, 1-0!
After falling behind, the Chinese team immediately made substitution adjustments, replacing Gao Lin and Hao Junmin, forming a 4231 formation in an attempt to strengthen the control of the midfield.
However, in the face of the midfield composed of Makelele and Vieira, the Chinese team did not please in the midfield, but made frequent mistakes because of their eagerness to attack.
After the two sides were entangled in the midfield for a period of time, the Chinese team finally ushered in a good opportunity to counterattack, forming a 2-on-3 in the front court, but because Han Peng was slow to play the ball at his feet, he lost a good opportunity to counterattack and was cut off by the French team.
After squandering two chances in a row, the Frenchman scored again.
In the 30th minute, Zidane picked up a pass behind the Chinese team, Henry inserted it in an anti-offside position on the right side, and in the face of the attacking Li Leilei, he cleverly made a low cross, and Trezeguet inserted in the middle made it overnight, 2-0!
After taking a two-goal lead, France began to tighten their grip on the midfield and the game gradually flattened.
In the stoppage time of the first half, Zidane once again picked up the back of the Chinese team's defense, and Henry once again successfully stepped forward against offside, but this time Trezeguet in the middle was not able to outflank in time, and in the face of the attacking goalkeeper Li Leilei, Henry chose to shoot, but the shot from a small angle flew directly off the far post and flew out of the bottom line.
Under the continuous attack of the French team, the Chinese team once again advanced the attack to the front court before the end. The Chinese team, which could not tear apart the French team's defense, finally completed a long-range shot by Zhao Xuri, and the football flew directly to the corner of the goal with a roar.
Just when all the Chinese were expecting a goal, French goalkeeper Butters made a sideways save and lifted the ball off the crossbar with one hand.
"Hoo ......"
Yu Liang, who was about to celebrate the goal on the bench, covered his head incredibly.
At the end of the first half, France led China 2-0!
After high-fiveing the players who came off the field one by one, Yu Liang prepared to go back to the locker room.
As a result, he was stopped by Director Zhu, "Xiao Yu, Xiao Dong, you two go to warm up, and prepare to play in the second half!" ”
Listening to Zhu's words, Yu Liang clenched his fists excitedly, then turned his head and returned to the court, and began to warm up under the leadership of the coach.
Although this is a friendly match, it is a rare opportunity to compete with masters like Zidane, Makelele and Vieira!
After warming up for about ten minutes, Yu Liang returned to the locker room with King Dong.
"Xiao Yu, your footwork is good, play left wing-back in the second half, cross after winning the ball, or cut inside to shoot......"
Yu Liang, who returned to the locker room and walked to Director Zhu's side, was confused when he heard this.
Left wing-back, cross, cut in.
Is this, fuck, something I can do?
"Coach Zhu, I ......"
"What's wrong? Any questions? ”
Yu Liang glanced at Director Zhu, and then looked at the somewhat strange eyes of his teammates, Yu Liang shook his head: "No problem!" Coach Zhu, I'll play well! ”
"Yes! When defending, you must pay attention to protecting your back! ”
In the first half, Zidane was successfully defeated twice in a row from the left, and if it wasn't for Henry's second shot that went wide of the post, the score would have been 3-0 by now.
"Understood, Director Zhu!"
Accepting Zhu's arrangement, Yu Liang's heart was a little depressed.
Having never played on the wing, he didn't know what to expect next.
But when I thought of having to fight Zidane next, I still had some expectations in my heart.
After Director Zhu finished explaining the tactical arrangements to him, he went to King Dong again.
As soon as a few minutes passed, they walked straight to the court. And Yu Liang and King Dong came directly to the side of the fourth official, preparing to make a substitution.
When the fourth official raised the substitution sign on No. 11 and No. 19, Yu Liang touched the grass shop and quickly rushed into the stadium! (To be continued.) )
