(Cat flutter Chinese) "South Africa is a terrible place."

Even though Zhao Yaning has always rarely complained about the surrounding environment, after seeing the environment in South Africa, he still has to complain about the environment of this place.

Zhao Yaning has been here for a long time, and he doesn't understand why he wants to play here: the place where he plays football is a plateau battle, and the environment for playing football is very poor. At the same time, the city's environment is also a mess. If you go to play football elsewhere, you can at least go out and see it, but here, the poor security environment in South Africa dictates that they can only stay in hotels and are not allowed to go anywhere else.

How can such a city host the World Cup? Zhao Yaning is also resentful of this.

However, playing in such a city, the opponents in the game are not very strong, which is also the thing that makes him the happiest. The current Chinese team needs to play more against strong teams to be able to verify their strength, there are few teams in the Confederations Cup, and they are divided into a good group, which is basically equivalent to stepping into the knockout round with half a foot, and it is always good to be able to play a few more games.

The grouping of the Confederations Cup this time is still very easy to deal with. China were lucky not to be placed in the more difficult group, which consisted of European Cup champions Spain, Asian Cup champions China, Oceania champions New Zealand and hosts South Africa. In contrast, the other group, the South American champion Brazil, the World Cup champion Italy, and the United States and the African champion Egypt in the Americas are not so easy to deal with.

Under such a grouping, China's game is also a lot simpler. Although it is estimated that it will not be able to beat Spain, but against South Africa and New Zealand, the Chinese team will not fail, right?

But Zhao Yaning thought very well, but in the first game, he almost made him play abnormally.

"What's that sound?" Zhao Yaning looked around, a little surprised, "This voice is too terrifying, right?" ”

"This is Vuvuzula, Brother Zhang gave me one, it's fun, but I really didn't expect it to be so ugly when so many people blow together......"

This traditional African instrument is clearly beyond the capacity of China to endure the players. Zhao Yaning ran on the court, as if in the ninety minutes, there was a buzzing sound in his ears all the time. But fortunately, the New Zealanders on the opposite side seem to be even worse, they also make mistakes in coordination and make it difficult to play well, which makes the Chinese team's usual style of playing a good thing.

The players of the Chinese team have always lacked on-field communication, which is repeatedly emphasized by all foreign coaches. Zhao Yaning usually pays attention to this problem, but no matter how loud he shouts alone, others are still silent - they are very cheeky when they lose, but they are thin-skinned when they shout on the field. However, this game has also become a good thing - there is buzz everywhere anyway, and none of us should communicate.

The opponent did not cooperate well, and this naturally became an opportunity. Since there is an opportunity, then don't be merciful. Zhao Yaning immediately took the ball to attack, and the opponent was New Zealand's soft persimmon, less than 30 minutes into the opening, Zhao Yaning used a long-range shot to break through the opponent's door.

"It seems that in this game, there is no problem in beating New Zealand."

The champion of Oceania has always been Australia. Because Australia joined the AFC, this time the Australian champion became New Zealand. Their strength, it is indeed not strong, after all, there is no Australia, they are at most fighting for the championship with Tahiti, the strength is indeed not strong, and the Chinese team, they played really badly, after conceding a goal, their problems were more serious, soon, Hao Junmin scored the second goal, and then, Zheng Zhi scored a long-range goal, and the Chinese team won the first game 3-0.

"The most important thing for us here is to adapt to the game. Whether it's the venue, the environment, or whatever, we all have to adapt. If we get used to it, we will be able to have some advantages when we come here again next year. Although the advantage is not big, it is better than nothing, and it is good for us to accumulate experience. ”

The reason why Zhao Yaning said these words to the team is because he knows that in the next game, it is estimated that the Chinese team will not win.

The opponent is the Spanish national team, at a glance, Ramos, Cassie and other teammates, Alonso, a former teammate, Villa, the league's top scorer, plus Torres, Capdevilla and Senna - these people are added to Barcelona's team with Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, and Pique as the central axis, even if Real Madrid plays, it will feel a headache, let alone the Chinese team? When he was in Real Madrid, Zhao Yaning didn't have to worry about what went wrong, and now looking back, it's all a problem, if the Chinese team can play Spain, then there will be a ghost.

However, as soon as the game began, Zhao Yaning found that Spain's control was quite tight. They keep the ball at the back all the time, rarely take the initiative to attack, and rarely play aggressively. This surprised Zhao Yaning, he really couldn't see the necessity of doing this. After all, the Chinese team simply does not have anything too strong to do, worried about the assault? The Chinese team only has Zhao Yaning who can assault, and a little defense can block him. And worried about counter-robbery? The Chinese team does not have the physical strength to fight back in the frontcourt, if it can press and grab 90 minutes, the Chinese team does not have to be so obscene. No matter how you say it, Zhao Yaning doesn't think that Spain's style of play is necessary.

However, after doing nothing in the entire first half, when it came to the end of the game, Villa relied on a rapid impact and scored a goal, Zhao Yaning suddenly understood.

The Chinese team is verifying its strength, so why is Spain not training? Moreover, their attitude made Zhao Yaning feel a little chilling: they are so cautious against a team like the Chinese team, this is really a lion fighting a rabbit, and they use all their strength. With such an attitude and approach, they seem to be really aiming for the World Cup. It seems that I really have to be more careful with them and think about how to break them.

"Your coach has a big mind."

After losing 0-1, Zhao Yaning also said a word to Cassie, Cassie smiled, but didn't say anything more - isn't it just the coach who has a big mind?

And after this game, the Chinese team immediately ushered in the third game, against South Africa. And in this game, the Chinese team did not make any mistakes - South Africa lost to Spain and defeated New Zealand, they are the same as the Chinese team, they have three points, but the goal difference is one less. After winning this game, the Chinese team can basically enter the knockout round, so the Chinese team has also worked hard.

And at the end of the game, there was no victory - a 1-1 draw became the final result. But Zhao Yaning was also quite surprised, "The host country of the World Cup has never fallen out of the top four, and South Korea has been hard to win in 02." Such South Africa, the strength is really not much, and next year, it will be in the top four? Is this a joke? ”

"Who said it had to be South Africa? Any African country that is not considered a landlord country? ”

In this way, Zhao Yaning was stunned. Also, with FIFA's character, they can do this kind of thing......

After this game, the Chinese team, which accumulated four points in three games and ranked second in the group, also entered the knockout round. And when Zhao Yaning was a little helpless, after entering the knockout round, the first opponent was the Brazilian team.

In the other group, Italy were knocked out in an upset, with Brazil and the United States finishing first and second in the group. As the second team in the group, the Chinese team has to deal with the Brazilian team.

"Brazil's current coach is Dunga, how to play...... Quite Europeanized. ”

Since the Brazilian coach was replaced by Dunga, his style of play has become more and more European day by day. Dunga is a pragmatic coach who asks for results, not spectacle. The style of self-oriented Da Luo, Xiao Luo was expelled from the national team by him, and he didn't want anything that took a lot of thought, relying on more European players to form the current Brazil.

And now, what Zhao Yaning is most afraid of is a pragmatic strong team......

"Audience friends, this game is China vs. Brazil, we don't need to introduce the players of the Chinese team, and the Brazilian lineup, this game, is goalkeeper Cesar, and the back line is McConn, Lucio, Juan, Santos. In midfield, Melo, Gilberto, and Ramirez are the back three, Diego starts as a striker, and the forwards are Fabiano and Robinho. Obviously, the Brazilian team attaches great importance to the Chinese team, and they have a 4312 formation, except for Kaka, who is injured and does not play, the others are the main force, which also shows their determination to play......"

Brazil is almost the main force, except for Kaka's injury, Marcelo has no main position because of his personality, and the others are basically the best players in their respective positions. Obviously, Dunga and Bosque are in the same mind, both counting on the lion to fight the rabbit and succeed in one fell swoop.

Zhao Yaning now very much does not want to receive such attention. As soon as Brazil came up, they controlled the advantage on the field. Among the three backs, Ramirez almost didn't do anything, just to come to guard against Zhao Yaning, a guy with good physical strength, who was responsible for being close to him. And in this way, the Chinese team was directly pressed to the backcourt, and there was no longer the power to resist - this kind of play made Zhao Yaning quite helpless, and when he met a real strong team, the Chinese team was really not good.

This is not good, once we meet a strong team, we can't win, so what kind of ball do we play! It's like that, it's like that, it's like that, so what are we going to play!

Zhao Yaning understood that someone on the other side was pestering him, just to prevent himself from organizing well and forcing him to forcibly assault. After all, the chances of a person breaking through one of the backlines are slim. However, Zhao Yaning also made up his mind at this time, everyone else has done their best, so what if I do my best!

Since you are a lion fighting a rabbit, then, if the rabbit is in a hurry, you will bite it!

In the first ten minutes, the Brazilians have been bombarding indiscriminately, but they have not been able to break the door of the Chinese team, and soon, Zhao Yaning found an opportunity, after receiving the ball once, he accelerated suddenly, and Ramirez next to him immediately grabbed his clothes, but Zhao Yaning found the opportunity and hit his body, directly forcing him to let go, and then, he quickly adjusted his center of gravity and attacked towards the backcourt.

Now that I've held it, I'll try to fight back.

Zhao Yaning's counterattack...... Merlot! ”

Dunga takes defense very seriously, and this time, the interception he sent was also Melo, the butcher player. Zhao Yaning's breakthrough was very fast, and when he saw Merlot coming, he hurriedly dodged to the side, but Merlot shoveled over, and just when Zhao Yaning dodged, his foot suddenly lifted up and kicked over!

"I'll go!" In an instant, the commentator's mouth burst out with dirty words, "Zhao Yaning was overturned by Merlot - this is not defense at all, this is **naked kicking!" Zhao Yaning was kicked to the ground, this is a red card action, a 100% red card action! ”

Melo's kick was an absolute foul action - when he was dodged by Zhao Yaning in the tackle, he directly raised his leg and kicked directly on Zhao Yaning's calf. This kick overturned Zhao Yaning, and also put him in trouble immediately.

Zhao Yaning helped his teammates to stand up, and he also saw the result in front of him: Melo received a red card and was punished.

This is a great opportunity!

Zhao Yaning wanted to stand up despite the pain in his legs, but he bared his teeth in pain and jumped before he could stand firmly. However, even so, he was quite happy to look at the crowd: in the first 20 minutes, Brazil was sent off, and this game is very promising! Cat flutter Chinese
