In both warm-up matches, the Chinese team played their home stadium in Xi'an. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The first warm-up match was against Venezuela, and the second warm-up match was against Slovenia.

In the first warm-up game, Gao Hongbo sent the strongest lineup he could field.

Zhou Yi, Sun Pan, He Ying, Yang Muge and Guo Nu all started.

In addition, Yan Min also got the starter.

The Chinese team, which attacked with the strongest lineup, played very proactive in the face of Venezuela.

Under the organization and instigation of Zhou Yi, the Chinese team continued to play wonderful cooperation that made the fans amazed, even if these cooperation did not score, the fans bought it.

Of course, if you always look good on the field, but you can't score goals, then there is no point in such a good scene.

In the first half, the two sides could still stalemate for a while, and in the second half, with the further strength of the Chinese team, they finally broke the deadlock.

In the 54th minute, Zhou Yi assisted He Ying, and He Ying scored with a low shot to take the lead for the Chinese team.

In the 69th minute, He Ying pulled to the side to cross, and Yang Muge, who suddenly inserted into the penalty area from the back position, jumped up and headed the ball into the goal with almost no one marking!

The entire Xi'an Suzaku Stadium burst into loud cheers.

This cheer is not only because the Chinese team has a two-goal lead over the opponent, but also because the Chinese team has had a long advantage on the field before the two-goal lead. The current two-goal lead is a natural result of the situational advantage.

Such a game, both the result and the process, have encouraged Chinese fans - if the Chinese team can maintain this state to participate in the World Cup finals, then the historic entry into the World Cup finals knockout round will definitely not be a dream!

After taking a two-goal lead, Gao Hongbo began to make substitutions.

Because it is a warm-up match, there is no fixed limit of three substitutions.

He first replaced Zhou Yi, He Ying, and Yang Muge in one go, and then replaced Guo Nu to let more domestic players play.

After Zhou Yi and Yang Muge went off, the Chinese team's control in the midfield decreased slightly. At this time, Gao Hongbo also adjusted his tactics and let the team change to defensive counterattack.

Yan Min, who remained on the court and was not replaced, was entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

He also lived up to the trust of the coach and was very positive.

On the counter-attack, as long as the ball is at his feet, he will not hesitate to storm the Venezuelan defence.

Although there was no goal by the end of the game, it finally made Venezuela have no way to threaten the goal guarded by Sun Pan.

In the end, the two sides ended the warm-up match with a score of 2:0.

China defeated South American-placed Venezuela at home.

Four days later, it was still in Xi'an.

The Chinese team welcomed their second warm-up match opponent, Slovenia.

At the same time, this game is also the last game of the Chinese national team in 2013.

In this game, Gao Hongbo did not play his main force.

Unlike the last game, he completely broke up the lineup.

The performance of the strongest squad of the Chinese team has already been seen in the last game. Now it's time to give the other players more opportunities to play and practice.

Because of the change of lineup, the Chinese team did not have as much advantage on the field as in the last game, but the performance of the international players was also good.

Although he didn't win the opponent, he didn't lose the game either.

In the end, the Chinese team played a 0:0 draw in Xi'an and Slovenia.

They ended their 2013 season with a draw.

After the game, the Chinese media made a "year-end summary" of the Chinese team's competition in 2013.

One of the most noteworthy is of course the right to qualify for the World Cup finals for the second time in history. And this time is even more difficult than the last time, because the last World Cup finals were held in Japan and South Korea, and China directly lost two strong opponents in the qualifying stage. So much so that there has always been a saying that the most important contributor to the Chinese team's first entry into the World Cup finals is not the head coach Milutinovic, but Zhang Jilong, who won a good draw for the Chinese team in the draw.

And this time, Japan and South Korea participated in the World Cup qualifiers, in which the Chinese team was also divided into a group with Japan. In the same group, there is also an opponent like Australia, who has always been afraid of the Chinese team.

Under such circumstances, the Chinese team can still qualify for the World Cup finals two rounds in advance, which is enough to show the strength of this national team - some media have called this national team the strongest Chinese team in history.

In addition to the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team also participated in the East Asian Cup this year. However, the national team participating in the East Asian Cup is a team that does not recruit a single overseas player, which is equivalent to a second team. Even so, the Chinese team also won the second place in the East Asian Cup, and the results are remarkable.

In the past year, the Chinese team, whether it is foreign players or domestic players, has shown a good competitive state. This made the fans in China very happy.

Now everyone hopes that the Chinese team can maintain this good competitive form until next year's World Cup.

After the two warm-up matches in China, the foreign international players left the national team as soon as possible and returned to their respective clubs.

For Borussia Dortmund, there is bad news – they have contracted the horrific FIFA virus!

In a friendly match on the 19th, Germany played against England. Although Germany beat England 1-0 in the end, Hummels and Schmelzer were injured in the game.

After the game, Schmelzer will be out for three weeks due to injury. And Hummels will have to be injured for a longer time!

This is a bolt from the blue for Dortmund - with Subotic already out for the season, Dortmund's main backline has suffered two more big injuries, plus Piszczek, who has not been on the injury list, Dortmund's main backline has suffered a "catastrophe......

So when Zhou Yi got off the plane and heard his agent Schulze talk about it, his mouth opened wide and he didn't close it for a long time - he really couldn't believe that such a bloody thing could happen to him.

The four main forces of a back line are all injured!

After a long time, after coming to his senses, he smacked his lips and said: "If you want me to say, Klopp should go to buy the Euro Lotto, and the rhythm of winning the jackpot is proper!"

Schulzer smiled bitterly: "You still have the heart to joke, think about how you will face Bayern Munich at home next......"

Zhou Yi spread his hands: "Isn't this something that should be considered by Klopp?"

Schulze thought about it, it was really like this, he couldn't refute it, so he had to concentrate on driving.

Zhou Yi lowered his head and took out his mobile phone and began to read the news to see what was said on the Internet and in the media.

He found that in the online community where Dortmund fans gathered, many people were cursing the head coach of the German national team, Loew, thinking that Loew was specifically unable to get along with Dortmund, and some people conspired to believe that Loew was secretly helping Bayern Munich.

Borussia Dortmund fans are dissatisfied with the national team, but Zhou Yi can understand.

At the beginning of this season, Gundogan suffered a little bit of a lower back injury in the league, which was not a big problem and just needed to rest. As a result, the German national team had to recruit Gundogan into the team and arrange to start the game. In stark contrast to the treatment of Bayern Munich's players, Götze and Schweinsteiger have obviously recovered from injury, and the national team can not call them up for national team competitions for insurance reasons, and Toni Kroos was also granted leave by the national team because he became a father.

In the end, Gundogan played only 27 minutes in the national team game before he suffered a recurrence of his back injury and was substituted, and this time he never came back to the field again. After a break from August, the news was that Gundogan had confirmed that he would miss the entire season.

The season had only just begun, and Dortmund lost a big player in midfield. And who caused it at this time?

Many Dortmund fans have pointed the finger at the national team.

When you think about it, Dortmund seems to be at odds with Loewde's national team.

When Mark Wagner was playing at Borussia Dortmund, a star of hope was rising. As a result, in the national team competition, he suffered a serious injury such as a torn cruciate ligament in the knee, and after the serious injury, although Mark also had a good performance, the upward momentum has been completely interrupted, and now it feels like it is still a little bit short of what people expected of him......

Now it's a national team game again, and two Dortmund players have been lost in one go. Dortmund fans couldn't hide their anger and lashed out at Loew and the national team online.

Of course, not everyone thinks that the national team is to blame for this. Dortmund fans scolded the national team, and naturally other fans supported the national team and spoke for Loew.

Why don't other clubs get injured in international games like Borussia Dortmund?

They criticised Jurgen Klopp's "mad dog" tactical style as the main culprit behind Dortmund's current injury frequencies.

Speaking of Klopp's "mad dog" tactical style, it is actually a ridiculous summary of the "running flow" that Dortmund has insisted on over the years. Jurgen Klopp attaches great importance to his players' ability to run, and running is an important part of his pre-season physical training every year. The intensity of training is so intense that it can make many players who have just joined Dortmund doubt that life is better than death.

But it is the use of such high-intensity training to lay a solid foundation for the team's physical fitness, Dortmund has been able to dominate German football in recent years and even win the Champions League. Their players are always on the run during the game, using their movement to compress the opponent's space while creating more opportunities for their own attack.

This tactic was indeed very successful.

But there are good and bad sides to everything.

Jurgen Klopp's style of football, which emphasises running, has indeed brought many accolades to the team, but it has also fatigued the players and increased the number of injuries. Borussia Dortmund have suffered an unprecedented wave of injuries this season, which many experts believe is inseparable from Klopp's insistence on the style of football.

Moreover, once Dortmund's players are injured, they are all relatively serious injuries, and it is easy to recover in a short period of time. This is also thought to have been the result of Klopp's intense training.

Zhou Yi himself is a "beneficiary" of Klopp's style of football, under Klopp, he has been trained from a weak player to a player who can run all over the field. But he also knows that there is merit to these criticisms.

After winning the league three times in a row and the Champions League, Dortmund is now facing a huge crisis......
