Chapter 246: A Short Trip to the Asian Cup Qualifiers
After the warm-up match with Jordan, the Chinese team continued to train intensively. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoGao Hongbo adjusted the content of the training, and had been conducting offensive training before, mainly tactical drills.
However, after a few days of training and three warm-up games, he found that for Zhou Yi, such training was of little significance. The most urgent has become...... Improve your players' ability to shoot on goal.
So shooting training was put on the agenda.
Now Zhou Yi can lead the midfielder to create shooting opportunities, but if the striker can't seize the opportunity and can't score, it's useless.
Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen shooting training.
In this process, the Chinese Football Association also coordinated and communicated with Dortmund FC.
Borussia Dortmund agreed to allow Zhou Yi to participate in the Asian Cup qualifiers against Syria, but hoped that the Chinese side would spare Zhou Yi from the subsequent qualifiers against Vietnam.
In this regard, the Chinese Football Association also agreed. After all, Vietnam's strength is weak, and even without Zhou Yi, the Chinese team has a good chance of winning. The most important match against Syria. As long as Zhou Yi can participate in the match against Syria, it is enough.
The two sides made an agreement.
Zhou Yi only participated in the qualifiers against Syria, and then immediately returned to Germany to participate in the league preparations.

On January 6, the Chinese team faced Syria at home.
This is the penultimate round of the Asian Cup qualifiers.
Ahead of this match, Gao Hongbo was under a lot of pressure.
Because the Chinese team did not perform well in the two games against Lebanon, although they won both, it was thrilling to win, and it did not reflect the strength advantage of the Chinese team in front of Lebanon.
For this reason, Gao Hongbo shouted the slogan that the Chinese team would advance to the Asian Cup finals as the group leader before the match against Syria.
That means they have to beat Syria at home, and a draw won't work.
For this reason, he urgently recruited Zhou Yi, who was emerging in the Bundesliga, into the national team.
Fortunately, Zhou Yi did not show discomfort in the national team, but quickly integrated into the team and became the organizational core of the team.
Through the warm-up match in Jordan, Zhou Yi's performance made many people feel gratified.
With the addition of Zhou Yi, the Chinese team has a better chance of beating Syria at home.
In the match with Syria, because of the outstanding performance in the last game, Zhou Yi did not appear on the bench again, but started the game!
Gao Hongbo didn't play any unexpected games this time.
And Syria also strengthened its defense against Zhou Yi, and they arranged a person to specifically keep an eye on Zhou Yi.
However, Zhou Yi was not surprised by this.
In virtual competitions, he has already enjoyed such treatment.
After all, the head coach of Syria watched the warm-up match between the Chinese team and Jordan.
For this kind of defense, Zhou Yi also has his own way of dealing with it.
Or rather, he didn't have to think too hard about how to get out of this defense.
He just had to run.
Originally, Zhou Yi had a large range of running when he played, and after the range was large, it was difficult for the players who marked him to always maintain defensive pressure on him.
Zhou Yike will retreat to the back line to deal with the ball, and the Syrian players who are marking him can't also follow the pressure, right?
In that case, they will have fewer people in the backfield.
Even if Zhou Yi enters the front court, he will not stay in one place fixedly, he will rotate back and forth on the left, center and right, and run non-stop.
This made the Syrian player in charge of marking him a little confused.
Because he didn't know what Zhou Yi's purpose was for running like this, it looked as if he was aimless.
Many times, Zhou Yi ran past and would not receive the ball, paused slightly, and then turned around and ran in the opposite direction.
The Syrian player who was in charge of marking him had to run again, and most likely ended up running for nothing.
The Syrian player, who was asked to keep an eye on Zhou Yi before the game, began to feel that he was completely wasting his time.
He's here to play football, not jog!
finally waited for Zhou Yi to catch the ball, he pressed up as quickly as a chicken, but Zhou Yi immediately passed the football away, and after passing the ball, he began to move to the next place again.
And so began what seemed like an endless jog again......
The Syrian player in charge of keeping an eye on Zhou Yi, his eyes almost always fell on Zhou Yi, and he was not sensitive to the overall situation of the game, but if he could get out, he would find that his team had actually been suppressed by the Chinese team on the field.
But how to suppress it, he doesn't know.
In fact, it was in the process of him running with Zhou Yi that the Chinese team passed the football back and forth, establishing an advantage little by little.
The Chinese fans in the stands would cheer after a while, and these were not all cheers from the Chinese team's goal. More often than not, they cheered for the wonderful pass of the Chinese team.
"Inverted feet" was not a good word in the past, and it always reminded Chinese fans of the national team's passive style of playing with frequent inverted feet in the backfield.
But now, this has become synonymous with technology streams.
In the case of Barcelona, the transfer of back and forth between various players in football, so as to control the rhythm and initiative of the game on their own side, has become a tactical trend that is highly respected in the football world.
How long a team can pass continuously is a true reflection of how well they have possession.
Before Zhou Yilai, Gao Hongbo's Chinese team was difficult to pass many times in a row when encountering a relatively strong opponent, and it was possible to lose the ball if it was passed with three or five feet, especially when it hit the opponent's 30-meter area.
Now, the Chinese team can pass the ball for a long time in a row, and use this pass to mobilize the opponent and achieve the effect of controlling the situation.
With the advantage of possession of the ball, the Chinese team broke the deadlock on the field in the thirtieth minute.
Yu Hai, who served as the starting center forward in this game, received a pass from Deng Zhuoxiang and opened the scoring for the Chinese team.
The cheers of the stadium reached the first peak of the game.
Although this ball was not assisted by Zhou Yi, Deng Zhuoxiang only crossed it after receiving Zhou Yi's pass.
After a series of successive passes, the Chinese team converted the advantage of possession into a goal!"
※※※
Syria rushed to equalize the score after conceding the goal, and after they kicked off, launched a fierce offensive against the Chinese team's half.
In such a situation, Zhou Yi seized the weakness of their pressure on the attack and the relative emptiness of the back line, and in the 33rd minute, a decisive through ball hit Syria an anti-offside position!
"Zhou Yi! decisive through ball! Yu Hai! He received the ball! This is a counterattack!" Duan Xin in the commentary seat shouted excitedly.
The Chinese fans in the stands were more excited than him, and the cheers were earth-shattering.
In the deafening cheers, Yu Hai ran wildly with the ball, giving full play to his speed advantage, throwing off all the pursuers and entering the Syrian penalty area. In the face of the attacking Syrian goalkeeper, he made a feint to shoot and then flicked the football sideways, changed direction and shook the goalkeeper away, and then pushed the shot!
The soccer ball flew into the empty goal!
"2:0!2:0!! Good shot! The Chinese team scored two goals in three minutes to confirm the two-goal lead! This time it was Zhou Yi's assist! In the transition from defense to attack, his pass was very decisive and accurate! Zhou Yi! This was his first assist in the national team!"
After scoring the goal, Yu Hai ran to the corner flag area, and at the same time pointed at Zhou Yi and asked Zhou Yi to come up and celebrate with him.
Zhou Yi ran over, and the two of them hugged in front of the corner flag, and then they were overwhelmed by the swarming teammates.
In the stands, the Chinese fans cheered and shouted!
A year ago, after losing 2-3 away to Syria, the Chinese team was crushed by their opponents in the group.
And now, the fans of the Chinese team finally have a sense of "turning over and being the master".
※※※
In the first half, the Chinese team maintained a two-goal lead.
After the break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and the Chinese team relied on passing to firmly control the situation.
Although the score did not expand, the scene was still dominant.
Duan Xin sighed in the commentary: "How long has it been since we were in the lead, and we played so reassuringly?"
It's been a long, long time, and the most senior Chinese fans will probably have to think carefully before this question.
Maybe...... Never?
※※※
At the beginning of the 60th minute, Zhou Yi's fitness began to decline rapidly, his running on the court became less, and the success rate of the opponent's defense against him increased.
Gao Hongbo off the field knew that it was time to replace Zhou Yi.
After all, Zhou Yi's physical fitness is a problem, and he can't last the whole game.
So he made a substitution adjustment.
In the 65th minute, Zhou Yi was substituted.
Zhou Yi, who was off the field, walked very slowly and looked very tired.
The Chinese fans in the stands all stood up, thanked Zhou Yi with applause, and saw him off.
Zhou Yi received applause from the fans! His performance in the game is obvious to all! It can be said that he has directly improved the performance level of the Chinese team! When Zhou Yilai reports on the national team, all of us will be worried that he will not be able to integrate with this team in a short period of time. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi completed the fusion faster than light, looking at his performance on the court, it will really make people think that he has been playing in this team for a year......"
"After only four professional league games, he was selected for the national team and quickly became the heart of the national team. This can be said to be absolutely impossible to happen before the anti-crime eradication. Now, thanks to the country's crackdown on football, we have regained our confidence in Chinese football......"
"Now, Zhou Yi will not be playing in China's away match against Vietnam, and his Asian Cup qualifying tour is over, so let's look forward to his performance in the Asian Cup!
Amid continuous applause, Zhou Yi finally stepped off the court and completed his journey to the Asian Cup qualifiers.
