Before going to the Asian Cup, Zhou Yi and Shinji Kagawa will join forces to play another league game for Dortmund. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the seventeenth round of the league, Dortmund challenged Eintracht Frankfurt away.

But maybe it's because they've already won the halfway championship ahead of schedule, or maybe it's because it's the last game before the winter break, and everyone's mind is not on football, but on looking forward to the holiday.

So in this game, Dortmund lost 0:1 away to Eintracht Frankfurt.

It ended their record of winning all away games in the new season.

After the game, Jurgen Klopp did not criticize his players, and although he was disappointed by the loss, he also knew that the players had performed well enough in this half season for this half-time title, and there was no way to demand too much from them. At this time, the most important thing is to rest and relax during the holidays, and they will be busy in the second half of the season.

Anyway, in the last round of the league, Mainz lost 0:1 at home to Schalke 04, and now the points gap between the two sides is as much as 13 points.

However, the game at Borussia Dortmund came to an end a little later in the game, and the game in Mainz came to an end as they beat St. Pauli 4-2 away to cut the gap to 10 points.

Not being able to maintain a 13-point lead and ending the first half of the season was a regret for Borussia Dortmund. But the difference of 10 points is scary enough.

Either way, Borussia Dortmund's players and coaches can have a good Christmas.

Zhou Yi and Shinji Kagawa did not have this blessing, and the next day, they appeared together at Düsseldorf International Airport. They will be separated here, one to China and the other to Japan.

At the airport, there are also a large number of journalists from both countries.

After the two men lined up together to pass through security, they waved goodbye to the telephoto lenses of the reporters and went to the two boarding gates in different directions.

The next time the two of them meet again, it may be in the Asian Cup.

In fact, before the first half of the Bundesliga ended, the training and preparation of the Chinese national team had already begun.

More than ten hours after Dortmund's 0:1 away defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, the Chinese team also ushered in a warm-up opponent - Estonia.

In the end, Gao Hongbo's team still defeated the European team with a score of 3:0 in the absence of Zhou Yi.

The whole year of 2010 was a brilliant year for the Chinese team, because the national team had very good results in this year.

Under the leadership of Gao Hongbo, the team has achieved nine wins, four draws and three losses in 16 national team matches, with a winning rate of 60%, which is definitely the best in the international competitions of the previous national teams.

And the highlight of the national team this year is naturally the 2010 East Asian semifinals, that is, the East Asian Cup. The Chinese team first drew with the Japanese national team in Japan, and then surprisingly defeated the South Korean national team 3:0, and finally won the East Asian Cup.

The second highlight was the warm-up match before the World Cup, where the Chinese team defeated the unbeatable World Cup champion French national team 1:0.

However, these two highlight moments actually have nothing to do with Zhou Yi......

Although the national team performed well in 2010, the people still care more about the results of official competitions.

Next is Gao Jiajun's first official tournament Asian Cup, and what answer sheet this team can hand in in the Asian Cup is the most important.

Especially this Chinese team has Zhou Yi. With Zhou Yi's outstanding performance at Dortmund, it is indeed easy to place more hopes on him. So with such a player as the core, should the team also improve its goals in the Asian Cup?

In the face of the expectations of fans and public opinion, Gao Hongbo's performance was different from what everyone imagined.

In an interview, he threw out the "Asian third-rate theory" and "Asian Cup training theory", which really shocked the media and Chinese fans.

also pushed Gao Hongbo to the forefront.

For a time, the media and fans criticized him, and some people even conspiracy theories believed that Gao Hongbo had made a good excuse for the failure of the Asian Cup.

In the face of these controversies, Gao Hongbo was reluctant to say more, but said: "As a head coach, what I have to do is to try my best to lead the team and work hard according to the goals set before." As for other things, I don't care, and I don't have the time and energy to care. The important thing is for us to do our part in a down-to-earth manner, and leave the rest to others to judge, and nothing can change the direction of progress. ”

This controversy was even affected by Zhou Yi, and after arriving in Guangzhou, he was asked this question by reporters.

Zhou Yi was very ...... Ordinary.

"It's just a normal decompression. He waved his hand, reluctant to talk more.

He wasn't stupid, and he knew that there was no point in mixing in such an argument.

As for whether the Chinese team is the third-rate team in Asia, it should not be the focus of discussion, because this is a conclusive conclusion - when the draw for the group stage of this Asian Cup was divided, the Chinese team was divided into the third-tier team, so what is it that is not the third-rate team in Asia?

He doesn't really care what kind of strength positioning the team should be, it doesn't matter at all. Because that's just a statement, the outcome of the game is not determined by the quality of the team, but by the performance of the players.

Third-tier teams can beat first-class teams as well, while first-rate teams can also lose to under-ranked teams.

This is football, full of all sorts of surprises and surprises.

Zhou Yi and Hao Junmin are the only two returnees in this national team, and the others are all from the domestic league.

Although Sun Pan became famous in the German Cup against Dortmund in Offenbach Kickers and quickly became known, Gao Hongbo did not choose to add him to the national team training list, after all, as a goalkeeper, Sun Pan is still too young, and the time to become famous in the first battle is too hasty, and there is no way to transfer him to the team to train. However, according to Gao Hongbo himself, he has indeed begun to pay attention to the outstanding young goalkeeper.

And Gao Hongbo has another consideration - Sun Pan has become the main goalkeeper of the Offenbach kickers since his outstanding performance in the German Cup, and has always performed well, for him, it is more important to play steadily in the club, rather than come back to be a substitute in the national team, and then feel an Asian Cup......

In just two days, on December 20, Beijing time, the Offenbach kickers will face Nuremberg in the quarter-finals of the German Cup.

At this critical moment, it is meaningless to recall Sun Pan back to the national team, it is purely to add chaos.

In the past, many Chinese overseas players were fed up with this kind of meaningless call-up by the national team - even if it was an inconsequential friendly match, they had to let the foreign players fly thousands to 10,000 kilometers back to China to compete, then play half the game, and then fly back to the club for the same distance.

Doing so will only cost the player his place in the club and the exhaustion in the national team game to prevent him from performing at a better level.

Why didn't Magath use Yang Chen in the first place, wasn't it because Yang Chen always had to return to China to compete, delaying things?

Therefore, it is not a very important game, and Gao Hongbo is unwilling to cause trouble for these Chinese young people who have just started in European football.

He knows that there is a young midfielder named Yang Muge in the Schalke 04 youth team, and he also knows that there is a short central defender named Guo Nu in the youth team of Inter Milan, not to mention He Ying in the La Masia academy, that is the main scorer of the national youth and the national youth, and he is still a fellow countryman, it is impossible for him not to know this person.

He's starting to pay attention to these people.

He believes that they are the future of Chinese football.

Gao Hongbo is really concerned about these young players, such as the German Cup match between Offenbach and Nuremberg, which was at 2:15 a.m. on the 20th Beijing time, Gao Hongbo actually got up and watched the live broadcast on the Internet......

You know, Zhou Yi didn't get up to watch this game.

Offenbach's kickers used the same tactics as they did in the last game against Borussia Dortmund, with the whole line shrinking and then counter-attacking defensively.

In this game, Sun Pan's performance was still very good, giving full play to his height and long arms, and his second reaction speed was fast, and with the cooperation of his teammates, he kept a clean sheet against the opponent.

The Offenbach kickers relied on Sun Pan's performance and a sneak attack in the 78th minute to cause another upset and eliminated the Bundesliga team Nuremberg!

Gao Hongbo believes that if Sun Pan can continue to play like this, and can go to a team that participates in the top European leagues next season, then the main goalkeeper of the Chinese national team may be his sooner or later ......

Sun Pan's outstanding performance in the German Cup naturally aroused heated discussions among domestic media and online fans, and to some extent, he also reduced the pressure on the Chinese national team to be stared at.

Now some media have begun to call on the Chinese Football Association to let Sun Pan enter the national Olympic team to prepare for the Olympic qualifiers that will start in June this year.

And not only Sun Pan, if the other young players who stayed abroad performed well in their respective clubs, they should also be recruited.

Although there are 90, 91 and 92 age groups, they are not the most suitable 89 age group players for the London Olympics, but if their strength is really outstanding, it can be promoted exceptionally. Because now the 89-year-old national Olympic team really has no talent.

The only one who is a little famous is probably their goalkeeper Wang Dalei, who became famous very early, was selected for the national team in 2006, and was also a talented goalkeeper who went to Inter Milan for trial training that year, but his career development was not very smooth. He was not selected for the Olympic squad at the 2008 Olympics on his home turf, and his form has been up and down due to injuries and personality.

If Sun Pan can really be promoted to the National Olympic team, I am afraid that his position as the main goalkeeper will not be guaranteed......

He Ying was originally the closest player to this national Olympic team, although he was born at the end of 90 and was not a particularly suitable age player, but because of his outstanding strength, before the 2008 Guangzhou Asian Games, he would have had the opportunity to be selected for this national Olympic team - then called the national youth team - to participate in the Asian Games. However, it is a pity that when the Asian Games began in a month, He Ying suffered a serious injury, missed the Asian Games directly, and suspended for five months, which was also the most serious blow to He Ying's football career.

Because of this, he missed the opportunity to join the national Olympic team, and until now, he has not been selected for the national Olympic team. Of course, since he recovered from his injury, there have not been many opportunities for the national Olympic team to play, and it doesn't make sense to be selected......

However, I believe that when the Chinese Olympic team begins to impact the London Olympics this year, He Ying will definitely be selected for the national Olympic team.
