Chapter 584: The FIFA virus has hit an important league

However, Li Zihan didn't really break through to this side, he immediately used his right foot to pull the football back, and then quickly moved his center of gravity to the left, and the football was swept out with his left foot, and finally burst through the right side of the Jordan goalkeeper.

"Pretty!!"

"Oxtail!!"

The Jordanian goalkeeper wanted to stretch out his right foot to jam Li Zihan, but his center of gravity was unstable by the left and right sway, and he sat directly on the ground.

After Li Zihan shook the goalkeeper, he faced the empty goal and easily pushed the football into the goal on the small penalty line of the goal.

"A brace!! Very nice counterattack!! ”

Goalkeeper Wang Dalei, who gave Li Zihan this assist, jumped up directly, and then waved his fist a few times in the air.

For the first time, he felt like he was playing against the best players in the world. Mother. is cool, and Li Zihan is a teammate of real him. Mother. It's cool!

Li Zihan had already scored twice at the end of the first half, and this game has now led the Chinese team 3-0, and the Jordan team has almost no possibility of turning the tables.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, head coach Perrin made substitution adjustments, first replacing the center Yu Hai, who was not bad in this game, with Evergrande striker Gao Lin, and then replacing Wu Xi in the midfield with Liu Binbin.

It can be seen that Perrin wants to give more players a chance and then come to inspect the lineup.

It's just that shortly after the start of the second half, Li Zihan scored another goal. This time it was not Li Zihan who broke through to score, but Gao Lin's shot hit the crossbar, and everyone thought that when the Jordan team escaped from death, Li Zihan, who followed up, scored a supplementary goal.

Fifty minutes into the game, Li Zihan scored a hat-trick, which marked his national team debut perfectly.

At this time, Perrin issued an order not to continue to attack, but to start practicing the coordination pass - he also regarded this friendly match as an intra-team training match.

At the sixty minutes, Pei Lan was replaced again, Liao Lisheng replaced captain Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin replaced Sun Ke, Jiang Zhipeng replaced Zhang Linpeng, and even Ren Hang was replaced by Li Ang.

It's almost a chance for all the players to play.

It is worth mentioning that the captain Zheng Zhi should hand over the captain's armband to the players on the field after he gets off the field. He reflexively walked towards the backfield, wanting to find the most mature and stable teammate on the field at present, goalkeeper Wang Dalei.

But after taking two steps, he remembered something, turned around and ran quickly towards the front.

Zheng Zhi found Li Zihan and personally put the captain's armband on his arm in the stunned eyes of the team doctor.

"Good job!" Zheng Zhi said to Li Zihan with a smile, and then turned around and walked off.

"Thank you!" Li Zihan said to Zheng Zhi's back.

Everyone understands Zheng Zhi's approach, because Li Zihan is the most famous and powerful player in the current team, and he is the captain of Arsenal, and secondly, he is the biggest contributor to this big victory.

And this approach also reassured many fans, at least the relationship between Zheng Zhi and Li Zihan is not bad, and the two did not appear as the fans feared.

It was only many years later that when everyone recalled this scene, they suddenly realized that this was a turning point in the history of Chinese football.

What Zheng Zhi passed to Li Zihan was not a captain's armband, but an era!!

In the subsequent game, neither side scored, and the Chinese team consciously controlled the ball to cooperate and pass, while the Jordan team did not have the strength to attack, because most of the ball was controlled by the Chinese team.

In the 82nd minute of the game, a lot of positions had already been adjusted. At this time, Pei Lan also replaced Li Zihan and asked him to accept the applause of the fans.

Sure enough, when the fourth official held up a sign to signal that Li Zihan was replaced. The fans in the stadium stood up and applauded Li Zihan, and the fans shouted Li Zihan's name loudly.

And Li Zihan was off the field and clapped his hands towards the stands around him, which was thanking the fans.

"Han Niang!! I'm going to give you a monkey!! In a stand closer to Li Zihan, the voice of a female fan came out.

Li Zihan was about to walk to the sidelines, but when he heard this, he stumbled and almost fell. The laughter of the fans resounded through the Chengdu Sports Center, but instead of mockery and teasing, it was a light-hearted, friendly laugh.

Li Zihan and Yu Hanchao clapped their hands and officially completed the substitution.

In this way, Li Zihan won the first game of joining the national team with Li Zihan's hat trick and Wu Lei's goal.

In the post-match press conference, head coach Perrin praised the team's performance, especially Li Zihan's active role in the team.

And when talking about Li Zihan, "translation brother" Zhao Dongxu jokingly said that Li Zihan, who is proficient in five Chinese, almost made him unemployed.

Because Li Zihan was able to use English and French to have a direct conversation with head coach Perran, and Li Zihan's translation was faster, more precise and more accurate than Zhao Dongxu's.

After playing the national team's game, on September 11, all the players had to arrive at the club to report, and the same was true for Li Zihan.

When everyone arrives at the club, the game is ready to be played before they have time to train, as the fourth round of the Premier League is due to take place on 13 September.

Time is so tight that a lot of teams are a little nervous. Generally at this time, it is the time when the head coach has the most headache and wants to scold his mother the most The "FIFA virus" spreads.

Arsenal was shot again, Cazorla accidentally injured a thigh muscle while playing for the Spanish team, and may have to recuperate for half a month, while central defender Koscielny was also injured and had to recuperate for a week.

Wenger was relieved to see his team-mate's report card. Although it is not something to celebrate that a key player is injured, it is a matter of good fortune for Arsenal that there is no injury this time for half a season or a season.

Arsenal have been scared by injuries given the massive injuries they suffered last season, and the fact that Theo Walcott and Diaby are still in their recovery period.

Fortunately, it seems that the hiring of two strong doctors in sports medicine at the beginning of the season, as well as those Chinese medicine practitioners and masseurs from China, still played a big role

Wenger was very pleased to listen to Li Zihan's advice before the season and invited three old Chinese medicine masseurs

It has to be said that the massage of muscles, bones and acupuncture points by the old Chinese medicine doctors greatly relaxed the muscles of the players, which reduced the chance of injury a lot.

The game on 13 September is very important for Arsenal as they face last season's Premier League champions Manchester City. Arsene Wenger has set his sights on the league title after winning the Champions League last season and making a big splash at the start of the season, with Manchester City one of their biggest rivals in the race for the title.

But after a half-month of international breaks, the players have not recovered from their exhaustion, which is a great headache for Wenger, Li Zihan arrived in London on the night of the 11th, and he flew halfway around the world is the longest flight of any player.

So Wenger didn't let him play in this game, and didn't even select him to enter the 18-man squad, but directly let Li Zihan rest for two days.

Wenger even joked a little bitterly at the pre-match press conference that the Chinese team could consider coming to England and London to play warm-up matches in the future, and there would be no club games during the FIFA national team break anyway, and Arsenal could provide the Chinese team with training bases, gyms, dormitories and even the Emirates Stadium

This can not only ensure the tactics and friendly training of the Chinese team, but also ensure that Li Zihan's body will not be urged by such a high-intensity and intensive event.

Arsene Wenger hates international breaks, and is very acceptable to other official competitions such as continental cups and World Cup competitions, as well as qualifiers for these two events, but he is very unhappy with the warm-up games that take place almost every month, and he is rarely in agreement with his "old enemies" Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho.

Wenger is very much in the last season at this time, not that he won the Champions League, but that Li Zihan at that time did not have to participate in the national team competition, Li Zihan would train hard at the training base every national team match day, and then in the club games before and after the national team match day, Li Zihan was always the best player - although he was usually very good.

Arsene Wenger thought about the Asian Cup in January, when Lee would be out for almost a month at club level. In the Premier League, where there is no winter break, that time is the most concentrated and important time in the schedule. The FA Cup, League Cup and all kinds of points grabbing in the league need to be realized at that time, and at that time, Li Zihan will miss a month, which is even more injured than Milan with Keisuke Honda

For the next league game, it is not only Wenger who has a headache, but also Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini, because his two central midfielders, Yaya Toure and David Silva, have both been injured during this international break

Faced with such an embarrassing league match day, Wenger and Manuel Pellegrini are both clever women who have nothing to do.

The two sides have made major adjustments to the lineup of the game.

On the Arsenal side, Li Zihan and Mesut Ozil did not play, and only Sanchez, who was in very good physical condition, appeared in the starting line among the core of the frontcourt, and players who did not play in the national team or even were not selected for the national team got a chance. Oxlade-Chamberlain, Harry Kane and Wilshere, who played on English soil, are like

For Manchester City, Dzeko and Nasri got their chances, while the midfield, without Yaya Toure, did not dare to adjust to the muscular midfield combination of Fernando and Fernandinho.

Despite the absence of many key players, Manchester City still saw this game as a battle for revenge. In the Community Shield not long ago, Arsenal 3-0 disgraced Manchester City, and it has only been a month, and the fans of the blue moon still remember it clearly!
