Chinese fans hope that the Chinese team can come back from defeat at home and beat the Iraqi national team. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
But the final result was that the Chinese team played 1:1 with Iraq at home, and the two sides shook hands.
This result was not very acceptable, so after the game, the fans in the stands were a little resentful - this is our home stadium, we have not been able to win at our home stadium, do we still have to expect to win the opponent away from home?
In an interview after the game, Zhou Yi also talked about the draw: "We also regret not being able to win, they are very tenacious, and Iraq is a respectable opponent. But that doesn't mean we can't qualify from Asia. I don't think it's too much to worry about, the World Cup qualifiers are a long process and it's only the round of 20. ”
"Are you worried until the end and find out that today's draw will be a turning point?" a reporter asked.
"Not at all. Zhou Yi shook his head and replied in the affirmative.
Finally, Zhou Yi waved his hand to the reporters and smiled: "Don't be a bird with a frightened bow, the wind is loud, and the grass and trees are all soldiers." ”
With that, he said goodbye to the reporters and walked away.
"The idiom is very slippery......"
"After all, it's a high school student, so people were supposed to take the college entrance examination......
The reporters began to talk.
"But it's a pity that we couldn't win Iraq at home, and if we can win, we will have a lot of room for manoeuvre......
"Actually, I think what Zhou Yi said also makes sense. And I think everyone has overlooked one point - don't think that just because we won the Asian Cup runner-up, we don't think that this team is already strong, in fact, there is no obvious improvement in quality. How the runner-up of the Asian Cup came about, everyone knows it in their hearts. There is an element of luck, and Zhou Yi's credit is also great. But how can you always expect Zhou Yi to do it alone? In fact, there have been such clues in this game. Someone analyzed, and the head of the story was the Tao, and everyone thought it made sense after listening to it.
After all, they are all professional reporters in the football circle, so there are still some professional qualities.
Before the Asian Cup, Gao Hongbo claimed that the Chinese team was the third-rate team in Asia, and the media criticized him, not that the media thought that the Chinese team was really the first-class in Asia, they just felt that before the competition, they couldn't say this kind of thing to destroy their own morale.
After the Chinese team won the Asian Cup, many people felt that this did not mean that the strength of Chinese football had gone up.
The outcome of a tournament often doesn't tell the whole story, and determining the level of football in a country is the result of a complex number of considerations. For example, the Greek team won the 2004 European Championship, but can it be said that Greek football is the best in Europe? But in fact, there is none, which is why it is called "Greek mythology", and since it is a myth, it cannot appear often.
Therefore, what is the level of Chinese football, the results of an Asian Cup cannot explain anything, but depends on the performance of many competitions in the long run.
If the Chinese team can reach the finals of the World Cup in Brazil and will not miss every World Cup finals in the future, it can be said that the strength of Chinese football has become stronger.
And the problem exposed by the Chinese team in this game is also obvious, that is, over-reliance on Zhou Yi.
At the post-game press conference, Gao Hongbo was asked by reporters about "Zhou Yi dependence".
"Zhou Yi is the core of the team, and his importance is certainly self-evident. But the performance of the other players is just as important, and football is a team sport. Of course, the strength of the Chinese team is not very strong now, and I have always said that the level of our football is not strong in Asia, and Chinese football still has a long way to go, and this game is just one of the steps. ”
Gao Hongbo answered reporters' questions.
He did not directly admit that there is a certain degree of "Zhou Yi dependence" in the national team, because in that case, it would be tantamount to admitting in disguise that the other players of the national team are not worthy of Zhou Yi, which is a damage to the unity of the team.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the ability of some players in the national team was indeed difficult to cooperate with Zhou Yi. It's no secret either, just look at Zhou Yi's performances at Borussia Dortmund and in the national team.
In Dortmund, Zhou Yi has excellent teammates to help him, and his performance is like a fish in water. And in the national team, if he wants to take the lead, it will inevitably be a little difficult.
Zhou Yi is an organizational midfielder, not the kind of player who charges into the field, he needs excellent teammates to cooperate, Gao Hongbo is not unaware of this, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and there are only these excellent players in China, and there is nothing to find anymore.
Of course, he is also paying attention to the national Olympic team, but the current task of the national Olympic team is not lighter than that of the national team, and it is impossible for him to transfer the young players of the national Olympic team to the national team, in that case, Blazevic will definitely be anxious with himself......
You must know that the final group stage of the Olympic Asian qualifiers has begun, and the national Olympic team played an unfavorable first game and lost 1:2 to the South Korean national Olympic team away. So the pressure on Blazevic is also very high.
In order to be able to recruit Olympic players to play in Europe, Blazevic also used his connections in Europe to hope that those clubs would release them.
Because the matches of the national Olympic team are not strictly considered international A-level competitions, and there is no special national team match day, there is a conflict between the game time and the Europa League.
For example, the match with South Korea kicked off at 7 o'clock in the evening of September 21 Beijing time, and the fifth round of La Liga Atletico Madrid's home match against Sporting Gijón was also on the night of September 21 Beijing time, which is very embarrassing......
Because Sun Pan, the main goalkeeper of the National Olympic team, is also the main goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid.
The goalkeeper, who was loaned by Atletico Madrid in the summer, performed very well in the summer warm-up games, squeezing out Asenjo and becoming Atletico Madrid's main goalkeeper. So Atletico Madrid is not willing to let Sun Pan go back to play.
If Blazevic hadn't had something to do with European football, the Chinese Football Association would have to fight a lawsuit with Atletico Madrid.
Similar to Sun Pan's situation is Guo Nu, who was transferred by Inter Milan as Nagatomo Yuto this season, Guo Nu was traded to Cesena, after coming to Cesena, he was still a substitute in the first round of the league, and he became a starter at the beginning of the second round, and after playing two consecutive starts, his performance has conquered the officials and coaches of the Chenase club, as well as the fans.
It seems that he is not a person that Inter Milan wants, but he has found a stable opportunity to play in Cesena.
In the fourth round of Serie A, Cesena hosted Lazio on the evening of September 21, Beijing time, but Guo Nu was going to participate in the National Olympic team and would miss this Serie A.
In the end, Cesena, who did not have Guo Nu, lost 1:2 to Lazio at his home stadium, which proved Guo Nu's status in this team from one side.
He Ying's situation is slightly different from the previous two, but only because the timing of his Valladolid game does not coincide with the time of the Chinese Olympic team. After a loan move to Valladolid from Barcelona's youth team this season, the group photo of playing in La Liga has gone unnoticed, but this low-key environment seems to be on the spot.
In five games played in La Liga, he started three times and came off the bench twice and has scored two goals. And the two chances to come off the bench were in the first two rounds of the league, which means that he has started every game since then, and it has been three games in a row.
Yang Muge has not played in Schalke 04 and is a fringe figure in the first team, so this has the least impact on him.
So why would the Olympic team, which has two main players in La Liga and Serie A, and one main player in La Liga and one first-team player in the Bundesliga, lose to South Korea on the road?
Blazevic thought after the game that the continuous rush made the team's main players not in the best time, and the away game was already difficult, so it was normal for the Chinese Olympic team to lose. And the national Olympic team also scored an away goal, which Blazevic is proud and proud of.
It is worth mentioning that the only person who scored the Chinese team's goal was He Ying.
※※※
After the match in Iraq, Zhou Yi left China and returned to Dortmund.
The next national team match will not be until November 11, a month later, when the Chinese team will travel to Iraq and four days later, to Singapore.
After these two games, the Chinese team only has one game left against Jordan. But perhaps at that time, it will be clear whether the national team will be able to break into the final 10 matches......
After returning to Dortmund, Zhou Yi helped Dortmund beat Werder Bremen 2-0 away.
Chinese media commented that Zhou Yi in Dortmund is simply a more powerful version than Zhou Yi in the national team.
It's a fact.
Under the leadership of Zhou Yi, Dortmund won three consecutive games from the seventh round of the league, which also allowed the team to get 18 league points, and jumped from the previous ninth place to second place in the rankings.
Now, above them, only Bayern Munich have 22 points.
