Chinese Before the World Cup, the Chinese team also played two friendly matches as a warm-up.

Neither of these games is a big game, and the purpose of the game is to run in the team and prepare for the big tournament.

In these two games, in the first game against Belgium, the Chinese team still relied on a good defense to defend well, only conceded one goal and lost 0-1, and in the second game against Germany, it fell directly and lost 0-4.

The failure of this game suddenly made the media public opinion of the Chinese team in an uproar. Previously, the Chinese team had always been accustomed to playing well in friendly matches, and it was very surprising to the media that this game was lost. And before that, the slogans shouted by the media were extremely loud, and they all suddenly fell into a lot of depression.

The boast of the Chinese media is also lost to anyone at all, because of the existence of Zhao Yaning, before the game, many media shouted the minimum requirement to qualify from the group. Moreover, some people are still helping the Chinese team to analyze, saying that if the Chinese team qualifies second in the group, the most likely thing to meet is Spain, Spain is not strong in the competition, the Chinese team may beat them, maybe they can challenge the quarterfinals, and even some media have calculated how to play football for China to be able to play to the top four, but as soon as the warm-up game is over, everyone is a little surprised.

Such a result seems to be a bit too miserable.

Before the game, the spirit of the Chinese team is still very high, and the current Chinese team, when it comes to playing in the five major leagues, it is not less, Zhao Yaning, Qu Bo, Shao Jiayi, Zheng Zhi, Sun Xiang, Sun Jihe, plus Zhou Haibo, who may go abroad, but has not yet settled, the strength of this team is still good.

In the past two years, the situation of Asian football has been relatively sluggish - in 2000, Japan produced Hidetoshi Nakata, and at that time, Japan can be said to be the strength to sweep Asia. But after entering, they have declined. Although South Korea has always considered itself a world-class team, it is an indisputable fact that their strength has declined compared to 2002. In Asia, the Chinese team has become stronger, and the Chinese media feel that China can compete in the world, but the game is played to know that the strength is still far behind.

After Zhao Yaning became famous, the Football Association has also let up a lot of players to play abroad, and the current Chinese team can be regarded as okay in terms of strength. It's just that the biggest problem of the current Chinese team is that it can't play a strong team when playing midfield pass control, and when playing defensive counterattacks, it lacks enough good defenders and forwards. When you encounter a weak team, you can play with a midfield and a wing that is not weak, but when you encounter a strong team, you always can't go up and down, and you play a mess.

Compared with 2004, the strength of the Chinese team has actually declined. At that time, Zheng Zhi could be put on the back line, and the midfield line could be supported by Zhao Junzhe and Xiao Zhanbo and others, but now, Zheng Zhi had to return to the midfield line to play the back to maintain the midfield, and on the back line, Du Wei could only be used, which was naturally not as strong as before.

And in this game, Zhao Yaning's performance is not very good, Zhao Yaning has not practiced with the national team for a long time, and at this time, he has been observing the playing style of the national team when he plays with the national team again. Obviously, the mentality of the current Chinese national team is still very low, although there is Zhao Yaning, but the head coach Alihan only regards Zhao Yaning as a counterattack tool more often, and does not swell to the point of wanting to play against the opponent. This is quite good news for the Chinese team.

After all, Zhao Yaning still doesn't believe that the Chinese team can compete with strong teams. Facts have proved that they really can't fight, and when they met Belgium, they were able to hold on, but when they met the German team that got serious, the Chinese team was defeated like someone was devastated.

But that's fine, at least, to make the media aware of the strength of the team. And after these two games, although the Chinese team did not win, but at least let the back line have some run-in, and after the two losses, everyone's minds have also corrected a lot, that is, a simple defensive counterattack, it is good to be able to play well.

'I promise to play every game as best I can, but how far I can go, it's up to fate.' When interviewed by domestic media, Zhao Yaning expressed his opinion, "What do you say about winning the championship and the top four, that's my nonsense, and it must not be credible." If I say too little, you will not be happy. So, that's all I can say – leave it to fate. It's not easy to be on this stage, and I would like to express my gratitude to the fans who have always supported me, and we will give you a satisfactory answer at the World Cup to repay your support. ”

And after saying this to them and returning to the team, Zhao Yaning also changed his attitude.

"Let's just honestly admit it, our level, striving for the group qualification is the most amazing thing, redundant, let's not think about it. Playing football with a strong team, it is enough to increase knowledge, don't really think that we just have to get any honors. In private, in the locker room, Zhao Yaning rarely said soft words to his teammates, "Don't listen to the media's blind booing, what the top four and eight are unrealistic." We will be able to qualify for the group, and even if we have completed the task, I, as the captain, have to thank you. ”

His attitude flattered a group of teammates, and they have not been scolded in the past two years, which made them quite afraid of Zhao Yaning, and now Zhao Yaning's attitude has suddenly improved, which also surprised them. However, Zhao Yaning himself knows his thoughts very well: in the past two years, if he does not whip them, it will be difficult for them to improve. But now, at this time, they can't go any further, what they have to do is to help them adjust their mentality. I am the captain, and what the captain should do is not to help the team play at its best?

In fact, Zhao Yaning still hopes to play better results. At the very least, he's ready to give it a good fight at the World Cup. However, he is not going to say these words to his teammates. There is no need to increase psychological pressure on them for no reason, it is too high, they must be afraid that they will not be able to complete the task, and in the end it will not be good to play well. In fact, even if it is to qualify from the group, how easy is it to say? In the history of the World Cup, if you do not count the 'amazing' performance of South Korea and Japan as the host in 2002, Asian teams have only qualified twice, Saudi Arabia once, and North Korea once. Among them, North Korea has to go back to the time when there were only 16 teams participating in the World Cup in England. The overall backwardness of Asian football is an indisputable fact, and even Superman cannot change this.

Zhao Yaning himself knows very well that it is difficult to qualify, not to mention the victory in the knockout round, and basically, it is difficult to go further after qualifying. If they qualify from the group, the first opponent the Chinese team will probably meet is the Spanish team. Although the Spanish team has always been ridiculed as the king of the group stage and the qualifiers, Zhao Yaning knows enough players of the Spanish national team, and he knows the strength of the Spanish national team very well.

After all, the Chinese team is still too weak. Although Zhao Yaning is in the limelight now, Zhao Yaning knows that no matter how popular a person is, it is difficult to lead a team against the sky. It is said that Argentina won the championship by relying on Maradona alone, but even without Maradona, at least Argentina is not worried about qualifying from the group, and can even challenge the semi-finals. The foundation of the Chinese team is too thin, and if it wants to rise, it will not happen overnight.

However, as long as you work hard, you can get something. Zhao Yaning now relies on his fame, at least he can make a lot of contributions to Chinese football. It is much more convenient for players to go abroad, and the domestic ball market is becoming more and more popular year by year.

Zhao Yaning believes that one day, Chinese football can be strong. Weak teams, more often than not, need encouragement or criticism, rather than praise or ridicule. With the right attitude, football can always develop -

"Sometimes, looking at my own attributes, I really feel that the system is helping me less and less day by day. Of course, it's not that it's useless, this time I was able to raise the burst, speed, bounce, and header, or rely on the ability of the card. It's just that I haven't practiced much on my head, and I'll have to continue practicing in the future. ”

"That's because you're getting stronger day by day."

"yes, and this time, I have such a great card. Before reaching the finals, I could have played better than anyone else with all the stat 3. Zhao Yaning smiled bitterly, "But why am I still not confident?" ”

"Because it's a national team game, your teammates are too weak, so you don't have confidence. Football matches are not something that can be completed by one person, no matter how strong a person is, he may be blocked by his opponent, so you will feel unconfident. ”

Zhao Yaning didn't speak, just listened to Raul in the system and they said to themselves.

"Anyway, let's give it a try."

"Actually, no matter how much you try, it's the same result...... In the 2006 World Cup, the gap between the strong and the weak teams was really ......"

"Don't tell me, okay?" Zhao Yaning shook his head, "I don't want to know." I just wanted to try. I know that winning the championship has nothing to do with me, but, at least, let me see how far I can go. "Cat flutter Chinese
