Chapter 143: The Chinese Second Team, which has made significant progress every time!
"Xiaoting, you TM concentrate, and then distracted Lao Tzu kicked you to death!"
Niu Zhanshan was very dissatisfied with Feng Xiaoting's performance, but it was not because his distraction allowed Zhang Desheng to run out of opportunities, but because he sensed a threat from this new teammate who was easily distracted.
Although Feng Xiaoting occasionally loses concentration, he has the same excellent sense of position as Ma Zhenguo, and his ability to pass and protect the ball is only slightly worse than Ma Zhenguo, but he is already the best defender in the Macau team.
The most important thing is that Feng Xiaoting is 187cm tall, as well as passing ability, and athleticism is also good, so that forming a defensive partner with Ma Zhenguo will have great potential, because their partner can make the backfield pass and control ability close to the level of the midfield, in other words, it threatens the combination of cattle and horses.
Feng Xiaoting could only nod to Niu Zhanshan submissively, he could feel that he had been bullied by Niu Zhanshan.
But he is really afraid of this tall and strong teammate, of course, there are few people in the Macau team who are not afraid of Niu Zhanshan, Feng Xiaoting has been completely controlled.
"Hao Junmin, be bolder, your speed is actually not slow, but this aspect is really not your advantage, but your foot skills are good, make more use of turning and rhythm, and with your reasonable speed, you have the ability to pass people continuously!"
Zhang Desheng's side is encouraging the youngest in the team, Hao Junmin, this little guy just broke through the opposite Luka head-on, but he still hesitated in the face of Zhou Ting's supplementary defense in the future.
"Luka, you're determined enough to break through and you're very explosive, but you can't keep your head down and dribble the ball, you have to look up at your team-mates' positions, which I know is not easy to do, but you can look at your team-mates' positions in advance and remember their running habits."
Zhang Desheng turned around and called Luka on the opposite side to hum a few words, this little guy's playing style is a bit like Ronaldo, of course he is a low-profile version.
Luka is a mixed-race who came from the United States to chase stars, but his Chinese blood is three-quarters high, and even his facial features don't look like foreigners.
"Gao Lin, how did you shoot wide? Did you just get the fuck up after a plane? β
Tu Guangtai was reprimanding Gao Lin not far away, and this bastard had just kicked him to the mouth and hit the plane.
But that position is already close to the small penalty area, and your shooting skills are too outrageous, right?
At this moment, whether these four people were bullied and reprimanded, or encouraged by their idols in person, they were either excited or depressed for a while, and they couldn't speak.
But in fact, Luca, a naturalized player, is not counted first, and the other three demons who took the initiative to vote for the Chinese second team from the Chinese U17 first team are indeed first-class seedlings in Asia at this age.
In the past year, there are more than a few domestic players who have been cast, but this time they were selected for the 40-person training list, and they are the only three of them who are obviously favored by Zhang Gongzi.
Zhang Desheng naturally knows that the original talent of these three people is enough to go to the four major leagues, and if he invests in some luck and strengthens it appropriately, he will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in the four major leagues in the future.
But his investment will no longer only look at talent, if the professional attitude is not good, or the character is not good, or even the double quotient is too low, he does not plan to invest.
Among these people, he is ready to make appropriate investments in Gao Lin and Hao Junmin, especially Hao Junmin, who can stand in the Bundesliga in the original plane, is a key training object.
As for this Feng Xiaoting, he personally doesn't like it very much.
But this idiot's talent is really good, and with a little investment, he can really produce a good defender who can start in the middle of the big four leagues.
"Made, let's vote, after all, there is no matter of principle, and there is more than one fool in the football circle, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to have a stunner in the team."
Zhang Desheng can only comfort himself like this, but a team does need characters with various personalities and roles, and it really has to be a fool with a good level to be complete.
Liao Qimin, the head coach of the Macau team, will naturally be a little happy to float.
When has he coached so many talented and powerful players?
But with the overall strength of the Macau team, even after the foundation is improving rapidly, he has become a little less confident, and often doubts that he can lead such a too rich team?
This is that he underestimates himself too much, and Zhang Desheng feels that Liao Qimin is very suitable for this Macau team.
He has been working with Liao Qimin for a long time, and he knows that this coach does not have Mourinho's flamboyant personality, and even a little cowardly, which is basically the character of a good man.
His personality is most afraid of Davis's kind of thorn in the team, and that would be a disaster for him, because he can't hold it down.
However, Liao Qimin is more popular with young players, because he values the player's willpower and whether he is active and diligent on weekdays, and he is more willing to give this kind of player the opportunity to play.
Therefore, the veteran players in the team are generally more annoyed by this kind of coach, and the young and motivated players like this kind of coach the most.
But here's the thing is that Macau is the youngest team in this Asian Cup, so everyone likes this equally young coach.
In addition, Liao Qimin's character is also very suitable for a player like Zhang Desheng, who often oversteps his responsibilities, and he can be a nanny-like coach in front of Zhang Desheng.
But this is not to say that Liao Qimin's coaching ability is not good, although his on-the-spot reaction is not top-notch, but he is the kind of person who is diligent to the point of sickness, and spends most of his time thinking about football 24 hours a day except for sleeping.
Therefore, the problem of his lack of on-the-spot reaction can be completely compensated for by the saturation preparation before the game.
Besides, the Macau team has coach-like players like Zhang Desheng and Shen Yi, and they really don't mind if the head coach is not good enough to command on the spot.
As for the style of coaching, Liao Qimin belongs to the relatively conservative kind, which is somewhat similar to Mourinho, both of which are very ugly in the face of strong opponents, but the results are often not too bad.
Liao Kaimin's greatest strength is also to play against weak teams, relying on his excellent preparation before every game, the Macau team plays those games that should not be lost or drawn, there are almost no accidents, and it is very stable.
In addition, he also has a hidden attribute, that is, he can watch the dishes go down!
Liao Qimin is conservative and steady, but he will not be limited to playing one tactic, but as long as there is a suitable good player, he will really study how to play the characteristics of this player day and night.
Zhang Desheng saw Liao Qimin's notebook changed five or six in this month's intensive training, who knows how many things he wrote in these five or six thick notebooks?
He knew that Liao Qimin spent most of his time watching videos in his room and office outside of training.
Liao Qimin even used a few months to study all the main players of the same team after the group was released, collected and watched a large number of video videos of these players in their respective clubs, and then pulled the coaching staff to analyze the performance of each player in attack and defense individually, and then asked the assistants to take the summarized strategy to practice with the opposite Macau players individually.
This kind of performance like preparing for the battle of immortals will actually be more useful than a coach who commands awesome people on the spot.
The Macau team's month-long training camp, under the supervision of F4, especially under the preparation of Liao Qimin, finally officially announced the 23-man squad for the Asian Cup on July 10!
"Damn, look at the coach's dark circles, you won't stay up late again yesterday, right?"
Li Xiaobo looked at Liao Qimin's panda eyes again, and immediately guessed that he stayed up late to watch the video again yesterday.
"Lao Liao's two boxes of Hibiscus King a day are not enough, I suggest that he do a chest enhanced CT once every six months!"
Shen Yi felt that Liao Qimin's risk of getting lung cancer in the future was dozens of times that of a normal person, and it would be hundreds of times worse.
"Don't mention it, this month, Lao Liao has been telling me about Shunsuke Nakamura's handling habits in 20 common situations, and he has to talk to me for an hour every day, and then let Shen Yi play Shunsuke Nakamura to practice with me for two hours, so that I now dream of playing with Shunsuke Nakamura."
Tu Guangtai shook his head, he didn't resist this kind of targeted preparation, because all his efforts were spent on Liao Qimin's side, he just felt that such a meticulous pre-game preparation had never been seen in Europe.
Liao Qimin also has no way, if the Macau team has the strength of Porto, then naturally there is no need to study the opponent so thoroughly.
But the problem is that except for Zhang Desheng, who doesn't have to worry about it, the rest of the players, even Shen Yi and Thiago, are difficult for them to take advantage of the top players in Asia, because everyone in this team is too young.
After the Macau team announced the official 23-man squad, they were ready to give the whole team a three-day holiday, which was to let everyone's nerves that had been tense for a month relax before the start of the Asian Cup.
But when everyone left the base, after seeing the bearded Liao Qimin, they naturally talked about this workaholic who treats football as his wife!
Zhang Desheng also secretly admired it in his heart, which is why Zhao Yuting has been cultivating and trusting Liao Qimin.
I am afraid that he will die if he leaves football, and he lives a football coach, and he has many advantages that no world coach has.
If nothing else, let's just talk about Shunsuke Nakamura's 20 common handling habits for Tu Guangtai, which is something that no famous coach can do.
But when Liao Qimin felt that as long as he limited Shunsuke Nakamura, the overall threat of the Japanese team on the offensive end could be greatly reduced, he did not hesitate to collect the video of Shunsuke Nakamura's last 50 games.
Then, he didn't leave his cigarette in his hand, and began to analyze it on the video little by little, and finally found a way to limit and interfere with Nakamura Shunsuke's play, and then took it to personally explain to Tu Guangtai one by one, and then practiced.
This kind of thing, will world-famous coaches like Milou and Lippi do it?
Of course they won't, it's easy to yawn when you hear it!
ββ
The next day, the Chinese media published the final squad released by the Macau team -
In the 2004 Asian Cup, China's second team lineupββ

Cai Jing (69, 1983, 186cm, goalkeeper)
The Macau team's lineup this time is obviously much stronger than the last qualifier, and the most important thing is that a large number of post-85 players in the team are very outstanding in terms of potential.
This means that the ceiling of their Chinese second team is far from being fulfilled, and there may be a lot of progress every year in the future, and the future is really promising.
However, they do not have an advantage in terms of immediate combat power against the top Asian teams, especially in the group stage against Japan and Iran, which are already the top three in Asia, and they still have to rely on F4 and two hybrids to qualify, especially the performance of Zhang Gongzi.
However, the Chinese second team has an additional advantage, and that is that their matches are played in Zhuhai.
It's not the slightest bit different from being at home, they're playing at their home stadium!
This time, naturally, it was the turn of the Japanese team to protest, but China, as the host, directly rejected it!
Now there is a fun phenomenon in the Chinese football circle, that is, it is very unpleasant to watch the Macao team with a foot bucket, but it is very pleasing to the eye to look at the Macao team in the body!
Their Group D fixtures are scheduled for July 17, July 20 and July 24, with two matches played each day at the same stadium but at different times.
China's second team will play Iran in the first game, Thailand in the second, and Japan in the third.
This will make fans in Guangdong + Hong Kong and Macao a little can't wait, because this Chinese second team is basically the first home team in the entire Cantonese-speaking region during the foreign war of Chinese football.
However, most of the main players of the Chinese second team are from the north, which is also very interesting.
What's even more interesting is the Macau team's new jersey, which has been announced at the same time as the official squad.
The Macau team's jersey really can't help but change, their original set was made according to the Portuguese team, no matter how you look at it, there is a strong colonial atmosphere.
This kind of breath is actually very uncomfortable in the eyes of the supporters of the Chinese second team.
Therefore, Zhang Desheng personally led the team to vote to determine the new styles and colors of the three jerseys!
But no one knows that these two sets of new jerseys have been praised by fans and the media as soon as they were released, from the details to the color scheme, they were designed by Zhang Gongzi himself, and were appreciated by Zhao Yuting, the boss behind the scenes!
The current Chinese second team is not able to compete with the first team for the orthodox red because of the color of the jersey.
So Zhang Gongzi simply found another way, and their new jersey focuses on an aristocratic atmosphere and royal style!
The first jersey of the Chinese second team, that is, the home jersey used without color contrast, boldly changed the original green main body to yellow as the main body, and then matched it with purple stripes and a little white edge as embellishment, he called it the "imperial purple jersey".
There is no trace of Portuguese blood in this new jersey, and the overall style highlights a graceful and luxurious, with a kind of dynastic atmosphere, but it will not have the temperament of the nouveau riche.
Their second jersey is used in the away version, or when contrasting colors.
Many Chinese media, including the players of the Chinese second team, feel that their second jersey is more comfortable.
Compared with the previous "Imperial Purple Robe", this jersey has been changed to white and gold as the main color, with purple numbers and letters, and the sides of the jersey are decorated with gold stripes, which Zhang Gongzi called the "platinum robe".
This jersey has a majestic and heroic look, and there is a neatness of the step, and the overall look is indeed pleasing to the eye, as if between talking and laughing, the canopy will be wiped out.
However, the style of these two jerseys is actually a little far apart, but their third jersey is very close to the first jersey in style, which can be said to be in the same vein.
This is a special occasion jersey, the main color is purple, the sides of the jersey are inlaid with yellow + platinum trim as decoration, and the numbers and letters on the chest are also composed of yellow + platinum edge.
This "purple and gold robe" that is only worn on holidays or special competitions has a unique charm in the overall style, but it can give people a feeling of wearing gold and purple and having a noble identity.
"The order of the three jerseys doesn't seem right?"
Zhang Desheng himself also has a bit of a pain, because the first jersey and the third jersey are obviously similar in style, the former is more like the clothing worn by the ancient royal family on formal occasions, the latter is the clothes worn on daily occasions, and the second jersey is more like the clothing worn when going to battle.
But whether there is a little wrong with it or not, these three jerseys are a bit ahead of the times in terms of appearance, and they all have unique characteristics and styles.
If you want to choose which team's jersey is the most popular among Asian fans in this tournament, then I am afraid that the three jerseys of the Chinese second team can be ranked first, second and third.
