Chapter 349 Games
The training of the Chinese team has been very relaxed these days. Ding Yu knew that the players were very tired, so he just arranged some tactical drills and did not practice a lot of exercise. The atmosphere of the players on the court was very relaxed, but Ding Yu watched carefully from the sidelines.

The departure of Nie Fei, Deke, Ailin, Wu Jiang, and Zhu Guosheng caused huge flaws in the main lineup of the Chinese team, especially Nie Fei and Deke. Since 02, these two have been the best candidates for the Chinese team's midfield. , Whether it is playing three midfielders, four midfielders or even five midfielders, with the two of them, no matter who is the coach, they can choose the midfielder with ease.

But now that both of them have retired, it is not so easy to fill this gap.

Dai Guangming and Hu Gandang are rare midfield geniuses in China in the past few years. Their characteristics are similar to Nie Fei and Deke, but there are differences. Dai Guangming's speed and dribbling ability are probably better than Nie Fei when he was young, but he is not as good as Nie Fei in organizational ability. Ruja, after two seasons, entered the giants Roma and won the Serie A championship with the team. After moving to Newcastle at the age of 17, he became the first Chinese player to win the Champions League. A player like Nie Fei is almost irreproducible.

Hu Gandang's defensive ability is better than Deco's, and his physical fitness is better, but he does not have Deco's ability to connect the midfield and the backcourt. At the same time, his attack threat is not as good as Deco's. Although he and Dai Guangming are excellent, they have their own limitations to a large extent.

They can replace Nie Fei and Deco to some extent after they faded out of the national team. With old players like Li Fang and Du Zhenyu on the two wings, the current midfield of the Chinese team will not be much worse than before, but Ding Yu has other ideas.

That is, can Messi retreat a little and let him organize the attack.

With Messi's personal ability and court awareness, it is more than enough to be the core of the midfield. You must know that in Newcastle in the later period, Nie Fei's performance was not as eye-catching as Messi. The reason why Mourinho let Messi play forward is because the fans like to see Messi score. At the same time, Newcastle's midfield is extremely strong. There is no need for Messi to retreat.

But the current situation of the Chinese team is that there are more than enough outstanding forwards and not enough super midfielders. Let Messi play in the midfield, then the combination of Adriano and Long Bisheng can be formed in the forward line. Line combination, let Messi play a new position, enable Long Bisheng, this is a way to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, this is only theoretical. There are many tactical adjustments and personnel combinations that look beautiful on paper, but they are not the same thing in reality. For example, the striker combination of Inter Milan’s Ronaldo Vieri, no matter which one of them is taken out, is a super striker that can make all the defenders tremble. , also lost the closest chance to the league title in 02 years.

Another example is the Brazil team in the 06 World Cup, with double cards on both sides, Kaka Ronaldinho in the middle, forwards Ronaldo and Robinho, known as a "magic quartet" stronger than the "3R" combination four years ago, but they lost to the French team in the quarter-finals without temper. Muller, who scored [-] goals in a World Cup, and Fontaine, who scored [-] goals in one World Cup.

Therefore, a football match is not arithmetic, nor is it a matter of simply kneading eleven stars together to be successful. Otherwise, the football coach is too easy to do. Only after the test of reality can a correct conclusion be drawn.

It’s just that Ding Yu still has enough time. For the current Chinese football, their most important goal is the World Cup. During this period, there will be almost [-] official games such as the Asian Cup and World Cup qualifiers for Ding Yu to test the combat effectiveness of the new team, eliminate some unqualified players, and re-introduce new players that meet the tactics.

************************************************** ******
This day's training is over, the players are sweating, but they are not too tired, they feel relaxed and don't consume too much physical energy. Ding Yu saw that there is still an hour before five o'clock, so he let the players move freely.

"Bisheng, how do you feel today?" Li Fang pulled Long Bisheng to sit on the ground, he didn't want to raise his head and talk to Long Bisheng, that would be too tiring.

"It's okay, it's not too difficult." Long Bisheng shook his head and said, he has also participated in the national team training camp several times, but he really thinks the national team training camp is not difficult at all, and it is also very easy. This level of training is just a warm-up for him.

"The training of the national team is not the purpose of training the players' ability. That kind of training is enough in the club." Li Fang smiled: "For newcomers like you, the most important thing to train in the national team is to be familiar with your new teammates... You must know that we are usually distributed in various clubs, and we don't even have many opportunities to fight each other. If you want to gain a tacit understanding, you have to find it during the national training. The closest, most likely teammates on the pitch."

Hearing this, Long Bisheng knew that Li Fang was reminding him of himself. He was already an old international player, and when he was training for the national team, he was indeed the same as he usually was in the club. He focused on his own training and did not pay enough attention to his teammates.

"I see, Brother Li Fang." Long Bisheng is good at this, he can always listen to other people's words: "In the next training, I will pay attention to the habits of my teammates."

"First of all, you need to get used to me." Li Fang patted his buttocks and stood up, then laughed loudly: "I am good at crossing from the side, and you are good at grabbing points in the middle. We are a perfect match! But although we have known each other for more than ten years, we haven't cooperated on the field yet. What's the matter, do you want to try?"

"Okay!" Long Bisheng nodded excitedly. Indeed, although he has known Li Fang for more than ten years, he has never competed with him. The two have never been teammates. Long Bisheng participated in the national team for the first time.

"Boss Du! How about a favor?" Li Fang shouted to the defender Du Wei on the other side. Du Wei can now be regarded as the number one central defender of the national team. He is 1.8 meters seven and has excellent turning ability. His jumping and heading abilities have even surpassed Zhu Guosheng.

"Just tell me if you have anything to do, whether you can help me or not." Du Wei replied with a smile, he and Li Fang are old acquaintances, and will not refute his face.

"Defending our family will win." Li Fang patted Long Bisheng on the shoulder: "I'll pass him a cross and see what he can do under your defense!"

He looked up at Long Bisheng, who was about ten centimeters taller than himself. Du Wei, who played in the Soviet Super League, also knew that Long Bisheng had performed very well in the Bundesliga recently, and his performance in the Europa League was even more amazing. This also inspired his competitive spirit: "No problem, let me see how Long Bisheng's header ability is!"

Long Bisheng has seen Du Wei's ability to compete for the top in the national team training. His judgment and jumping ability are better than Li Jie. After all, his experience is much richer than Li Jie. Although this is just a game, Long Bisheng has no confidence in his heart.

The two stood in the penalty area, and other players began to watch curiously. Li Fang put the ball on the right side of the penalty area, looked at the positions of Long Bisheng and Dewey, and passed the ball with his foot.

Long Bisheng judged the ball's landing point by raising his head slightly, and immediately took two steps back, but Du Wei took off early in the middle and pushed the ball out abruptly.

"Boss Du, you did a great job!" Seeing Du Wei so beautifully fighting for the top of Long Bisheng, who had an advantage in height, the other players couldn't help but exclaimed and applauded.

The reason why he took the risk of taking off midway was because his judgment was a little slower than Long Bisheng's, and Long Bisheng got stuck in the position ahead of time, so he could only take off midway. If it wasn't for his excellent jumping ability, it would be a huge mistake for the ball to miss.

"It would be too embarrassing to lose to this rookie." Du Wei thought in his heart.
