Chapter 581: A Major Event in Chinese Football!!
In response to the media's comments, Arsene Wenger said in an interview with reporters: "I don't understand that I just drew a league game, but the whole world seems to us to lose the title for the whole season. The league is like a marathon, and you can't predict what's going to happen until the last minute. The players' performance is not good, but they need time to adapt, which is normal at the beginning of the season."
Arsenal made such a statement, and then the international players who were selected for the national team flew back to the national team for friendly matches and training camps, and the players who were not selected for the national team stayed at the Kearney training base to continue training, such as new signings Harry Kane and Chambers, who were not selected for Hodgson's England national team.
Li Zihan has returned to China, and he is going to the Haigeng training base in Kunming. After a week-long discussion, Li Zihan's return to the Chinese national team has finally come to an end.
The current Chinese football world, after the anti-crime and anti-counterfeiting crackdown, the atmosphere is indeed much better. In particular, the No. 1 head of the country loves football and cares about football. The people under him did not dare to fool around at will, and secondly, taking advantage of the east wind of the World Cup, the country's leaders also began to rectify and plan sports like football.
A lot of activities have been put on the table, and many schools have started to pilot the establishment of football teams and football leagues and the study of football.
As for Li Zihan, the current "first brother in Asia", the leaders are very concerned. There is no way, how capricious the Football Association is, at this time, it has to be appointed in the face of the focus of the No. 1 leader.
Although Li Zihan doesn't know the twists and turns in the Football Association, he also knows that the Football Association likes to be "nosy" through the media and the word of mouth of the fans. So Li Zihan actually hesitated to join the Chinese team, but when the head coach of the national team, Peilan, gave him a package ticket, saying that the Football Association would not interfere with his tactics and layout, Li Zihan was really thinking about the possibility of joining the Chinese team.
The darkest era of Chinese football has passed, to be honest, Li Zihan still very much wants to join the national team, not for anything to win glory for the country and the leadership of the Football Association, he just thinks from the perspective of fans.
In the end, Li Zihan reached an agreement with the Football Association, in which head coach Perrin played a crucial role. Perrin is said to be the head coach of the country's No. 1 leader after his visit to France. Although there is no name that it must be Perran, there are all kinds of signs that let the Football Association know that the No. 1 leader is very optimistic about Perran, and this is enough.
So Perrin is actually not afraid of the Football Association, because someone supported him, which allowed him to change the national team in a big way. He used a lot of young players, especially those who excelled in the league, and many of the older generation of "big brothers" were turned away, and only Zheng Zhi of Guangzhou Evergrande was selected as the captain.
It's also sad to say, Li Zihan can't believe his compatriots, so he can only choose to believe a Frenchman
Therefore, Li Zihan was also selected for the training list of the Chinese national team, but the confidentiality work was done very well, and even reporters and fans did not know that Li Zihan had entered the Chinese team.
Li Zihan came to the national team and Wu Lei is very familiar with him, when Li Zihan was invited to visit the Shanghai East Asia Football Club when he was conducting business activities in Shanghai, and played a friendly match with them in the team, the attacking midfielder who was three years older than him left a deep impact on Li Zihan.
Zheng Zhi came up to greet Li Zihan as the captain, Li Zihan is one of the youngest players in this group of young national teams, but he is indeed the most famous. He was the first Chinese player to play for Europe's top five leagues, including the five major leagues (Serie A) and even the Champions League. The key is to lead the team as the absolute core, and among the players of the Chinese team, the gold content of the Champions League is equivalent to the championship of the World Cup.
The 34-year-old Zheng Zhi is more famous, as the captain of Evergrande, he led the team to win the unprecedented AFC Champions League championship in the history of Chinese football clubs, and also won the Asian Footballer of the Year (at that time, Li Zihan had just played in Serie A for half a year).
Of course, with Li Zihan's fame in world football now, Zheng Zhi's achievements are not worth mentioning.
Perrin was still having a headache about how to integrate Li Zihan into the team's tactics, or how to let his teammates keep up with Li Zihan's rhythm. Li Zihan, who has played for a long time in European giants, is obviously stronger than the current national team players in terms of his personal ability and reading comprehension ability of the game, so it is doomed that the "incompatible" configuration cannot be synchronized.
But after receiving a call from Arsene Wenger, Perran's frown finally eased somewhat. Perrin and Arsene Wenger are also French coaches, and the pair had a brief time working together at Monaco Morale, when Perrin was a member of Arsene Wenger's coaching staff at Monaco.
So when Arsene Wenger found out that his number one national team manager was his former colleague Perrin, he immediately called.
After three days of intensive training, the Chinese team will welcome Kuwait, the first warm-up opponent of the national team's match day, at the Tuodong Stadium in Kunming, to lay the foundation for the Asian Cup to be held in Australia in January.
Li Zihan was not in the squad for this game.
At the end of the first half, the Chinese team fell behind by one goal, and although Chinese fans were prepared for this result, they were still very uncomfortable. After so many years of abuse by the national team, Chinese fans still retain some good hopes in their hearts. Although they often scold the national team and shout slogans about the dissolution of the national team.
In the second half, the Chinese team launched a counterattack. After a series of cooperation and tireless pressing, China finally equalized the score in the 60th minute, and it was the youngster Wu Lei of the Shanghai East Asia Club who made the achievement.
The Chinese team who equalized did not stop there, and they continued to attack. And Perrin also began to make substitutions, and he replaced the attacking midfielder Sun Ke of Jiangsu Shuntian, who was biased towards attack.
The substitution quickly paid off, and when Wu Lei was outstanding, Kuwait focused their attention on Wu Lei and striker Gao Lin, who was the player who was the most violated in the game.
Sun Ke took advantage of this gap to receive Liu Binbin's pass from the crowd against offside, and then scored directly, and the Chinese team overtook the score in the 75th minute of the game.
This goal completely ignited the passion of the 15,000 Chinese fans who came to watch the game, and in the era of Chinese football is gradually dissipating, it is too difficult for such a thing to happen to China, oh it is a lot of reversals.
According to the script of the Chinese team, basically after being scored, they will not be able to play
Of course, for this goal, everyone saw more of Perran's skills and control of the team. In the first half, when they were behind by one goal, in the second half, not only did they not collapse, but after adjustments, they scored two goals in a row to overtake the score.
Especially Perrin just replaced Sun Ke, and Sun Ke, who came on as a substitute five minutes later, overtook the score for the team.
Perrin stood on the sidelines and shook his fist vigorously in celebration. But Zhao Xudong, the translator of the Chinese team who looks very much like Guo Degang, ran over and hugged his colleague in his arms, and the "translation brother" successfully stole the spotlight again!
In the 82nd minute of the game, the Chinese team completely locked up the victory. Zhang Linpeng crossed the ball on the side, and Gao Lin competed for the top to top the ball. The football fell to the feet of midfielder Sun Ke, Sun Ke made a feint to hit the goal, but suddenly passed the football out, and Wu Lei, who outflanked the follow-up, fell directly to the ground and scored the goal.
The Chinese team completely reversed the game 3-1.
The cheers and cheers of the fans at the scene became louder, and now Chinese football seems to be moving upwards with a subtle progress.
Before the post-match press conference, the official Weibo of Chinese football spoiled: "At the press conference later, head coach Perrin will announce a bombshell news, please have heart disease and high blood pressure to bring their own fast-acting heart pills!" ”
This news has been paid attention to by the majority of fans and reporters at once, and it is not the first time that the official Weibo of Chinese football has played a treasure, once after every unsatisfactory ball played by the Chinese team, the official Weibo will post a Weibo: "I'm sorry! ”
Over time, this Weibo is his Weibo with the highest repetition rate, so some fans ridiculed: "You should send a Weibo member to the official Weibo, so that he can put these three words at the top, I really feel sorry for the editor of the official Weibo, I have to type these three words often"
What's interesting is that there are really fans who have recharged members to the official Weibo, and the official Weibo has really put that Weibo at the top
In the face of such a funny official Weibo, everyone often ridiculed him, and over time, this official Weibo became the most popular person among fans in the Chinese national team
Therefore, everyone is looking forward to this news released by the official WeChat.
As usual at press conferences, Perrin began with a formal review of the team and the players' performances.
Unlike usual, he did not give reporters time to ask questions, but said directly.
"I've got big news to announce next"
"After unanimous communication between the coaching staff and the Football Association, we think it is a great pity that such a good player cannot play for the national team, and after communicating with the players, I finally declared"
Before the reporters could react, Perrin said loudly: "Welcome Li to the Chinese national team!" ”
"Yay!!"
After Perrin finished speaking, the reporters in the audience did not react. Only "Brother Translation" Zhao Xudong jumped up from the chair.
The reporters all looked at the first person to steal the spotlight of the national team (the first person to compromise), and it was not once or twice that the translator stole the show, but it seems to be the first time that he has been so high-profile.
Looking at the strange eyes of the reporters, Zhao Xudong reacted that Pei Lan spoke French, and he was the only one present who could understand it.
Then he sat down awkwardly and translated Perran's words into Chinese.
The result caused an uproar.
"Shenma ???!!!"
"Nani !!!" An excited reporter came out of Japanese directly, which shows how many small Japanese movies he usually watches
