Chinese champion

Chapter 194
"The two boys, Zhong Yan and Yao Le, went to look for you? His grandma, why didn't he come to me, isn't it so mean?" Wu Qi exaggeratedly exclaimed.

"Don't blame them. They were planning to go to Europe, and they broke through alone. They even changed their mobile phones. If I hadn't been injured and they happened to be in Spain, I don't think they would have come looking for me!" Pei Wei I was really afraid that Wu Qi would be angry, so I hurriedly explained.

The six of them were sitting around the coffee shop in the hotel lobby. The few friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time were very affectionate and chatted endlessly.

"Having said that, it might be difficult for the two of them to gain a foothold in European football." Hu Yong frowned and said, "We are all from our own family, and we know Zhong Yan well. Playing games in the league is not good enough, even as a substitute, it is difficult, the next level league is not bad, but it is not easy for players like them to go alone without the support of enterprises to find a suitable club .”

"Yes." Pei Wei nodded in agreement: "Yao Le is short and suffers physically, and Zhong Yan, if he doesn't get rid of his problem of wasting opportunities, it will be difficult to stay in Europe. I think we should help help them."

"The problem is that the two of them are so stubborn that they didn't even give us their numbers. They just don't want us to help them." Zhu Jun said with a bitter face.

"Then it seems that we can only find a way to help them after we know their news." Pei Wei gave up this topic and asked another question: "You three have trained for a day, how do you feel?"

"Not good!" Wu Qi said lazily: "The intensity of the training is okay, but the methods are a bit single, not to mention compared with a club like Manchester United, even compared with Anderlecht. .”

Hu Yong looked around and said softly: "To be honest, I can see the head coach's tactics after a day of training. He attaches great importance to the midfielder. He likes to use double midfielders in the midfield. He often uses offensive routines. It means that the midfielder intercepts the ball and launches an attack with a long pass on the spot, using the striker's personal ability to break through. When attacking, the defenders on the wing often go forward, and the two full-backs move closer to the center to meet the striker."

"There is nothing wrong with this tactic. There are many clubs in Europe with this formation, and the Premier League has the most. The former Manchester United and the current Arsenal have this formation, and the results are very good." Pei Wei said.

"The problem is the players. In the past, the four Manchester United midfielders were all first-class players. Keane and Scholes have both offensive and defensive skills. This is even more so in Arsenal now. Vieira's power, Pei Wei, you personally After experiencing it, their striker's personal ability is even more top-notch, and Henry definitely has the strength to break through the barrier alone." Speaking of this, Hu Yong looked around again: "The Chinese team does not have such players, Pei Wei, you need all The team concentrates the ball at your feet alone, and Zhu Jun is a pure wide player. In the middle, his strength should be at least halved. Among our forwards, although Brother Hao is a top-notch striker in Asia, he is already old. It’s getting bigger, Li Jinyu is a pure point-grabber, and in this formation, it’s hard to give full play to the team’s full strength.”

"Isn't this good news for you?" Zhu Jun squinted at Hu Yong: "This formation seems to be configured for you. You must occupy one of the double midfielders, and the other Li Gang is a runner who can't die. Ali Han wants to train you to be the core of the Chinese team, congratulations!" He smiled and patted Hu Yong on the shoulder.

"This core is not easy to be." Hu Yong knew that Zhu Jun had such a character, and he didn't mean to mock him, so he didn't get angry: "What's the use of my long pass if the side is not inserted in time? The opponent switched from offense to defense If the winger can't seize the moment to insert it, I can only make a blind pass. The terrible thing is that Ali Han's tactics strongly require the midfielder to return to the defense! And in the positional battle Here, my grasp of the situation on the field is definitely not as good as that of Pei Wei, do you think I won't become an engineer by then?"

"These things are not what we think, right? It depends on how the coach arranges." Li Min said: "But I can see it in today's training, Hu Yong, you and Wu Qi have a very high status in the heart of the coach. , You wear the main vests in the confrontation games, and you will definitely start the game the day after tomorrow.”

"That's good, congratulations to you, especially you Hu Yong, you are the main player in the national team for the first time, amazing!" Pei Wei said with a smile.

Hu Yong smiled wryly, but before answering, he caught sight of two people walking in from the gate, and hurriedly stood up to say hello: "Brother Hao, Brother Sun, are you back?"

Pei Wei and the others also stood up. The top forward Hao Dong of the national team and the main defender Sun Chenghai were walking in through the gate. Seeing Hu Yong calling them, they also walked over with a smile.

"You guys are all here, what are you talking about? It's so lively?" Sun Chenghai asked with a smile. He played for Manchester City in the Premier League. Players who go together.

Hao Dong next to him nodded to them. Compared with Sun Chenghai, this man has been firmly in control of the national team's top striker for the past ten years. He looks exactly like the famous comedian Zhao Benshan. Although he is very humorous when he is with acquaintances, but He is quite ruthless when interacting with people he doesn't know well.

"I didn't talk about anything, I just haven't seen each other for a while, are you okay, let's sit together?" Hao Dong is the main force of the Dalian team, and Sun Chenghai is a veteran international player trained by the Dalian team. Hu Yong, who was born in Dalian Li Min and Li Min also received a lot of care from them when they first joined the adult team, so they seemed very affectionate when they met in the national team.

Hao Dong and Sun Chenghai were not polite, and sat down without seeing anyone else. Sun Chenghai took the lead and said: "Are you talking about the club? You guys are really good. You have found a world in Europe at a young age. In comparison, our little shit is nothing!"

"Isn't it? What's the point of being modest, Brother Sun." Li Min said with a smile: "A few days ago, I read in the newspaper that you were the most successful overseas player in China. At the age of 17, you became the youngest player in Chinese history. The national footballer, this record has not been broken until now!"

"Bullshit!" Sun Chenghai waved his hand: "There are a few words in the newspaper that are true, and there are too many praises for you, do you all take it seriously?"

"What are you guys doing?" Hao Dong smiled: "Everyone is an overseas player, and they are flattering each other here, trying to embarrass me?"

After some words, the atmosphere in the room became much warmer. No one talked about the game the day after tomorrow. Indeed, for the Chinese team, the Hong Kong team was not enough to pose any threat. What they were more concerned about was that in that game, Who gets a chance to play.

In the second day's training, Ali Han did not arrange any heavy exercise training because of the competition tomorrow, but only did some simple recovery training. Of course, this kind of training is not a problem for Pei Wei and Zhu Jun. Even though the time difference has not been completely reversed, they also completed the training easily.

Because they didn't put much effort into training, after seeing their lackluster performance, some people sneered inwardly: The media made so much hype, but now it seems that it's nothing more than that.

People who thought this way all opened their mouths in surprise during the following shooting training.

During the shooting training, Pei Wei opened the eyes of these veteran international players of the national team. From different angles and different distances, the ball turned into a precise long-range missile under Pei Wei's feet. The wind on the ball made the onlookers shudder: How much power must be poured into the ball to make such a wind sound, if he shoots it like this at close range...

Zheng Zhi secretly pulled Li Min who was standing beside him: "Has this guy always shot like this? Has he ever shot anyone?"

Li Min looked unhappy: "I was stabbed by him at a distance of ten meters during the junior league. I fell to the ground at that time. It took me a long time to recover, with a slight concussion."

Ali Han, who was on the sidelines, was also impressed. He was famous for his long-range shots when he was a player. He even scored two long-range shots that were recorded in football history in the World Cup. He knew clearly in his heart that In terms of the strength of long-range shots, the 22-year-old boy in front of him is not much worse than his heyday!
And when he saw Pei Wei shoot the ball trickily at 30 meters and made a very obvious drop to break through Wu Qi's ten fingers, Pei Wei, who was not very important in his heart, began to become cute.

Everyone knows that although the strength of the Hong Kong team is not strong, their iron barrel formation is still very troublesome. Besides high-altitude bombing, what is more effective than long-range shooting to break the dense defense?

It seems that although he does not fit my formation, he is still a very effective weapon when the game is not open!

As for Zhu Jun, judging from the training, he is still very accurate in crossing from the wing, and he can consider playing in the second half.

In Ali Han's heart, he had already positioned Pei Wei and Zhu Jun as "surprise soldiers".

**************************************
On March 3, at 31:[-] p.m., at the Siu Sai Wan Stadium in Hong Kong, the "civil war" between the Chinese national team and the Chinese Hong Kong team is about to begin.

It was probably because of the light rain, or maybe it was because they were not interested in this "civil war". The Siu Sai Wan Stadium, which can accommodate more than 2 people, only had more than 1 people, and many seats were empty.

Ali Han played his usual 4-4-2, and Wu Qi started again. Now he has completely squeezed out Liu Fei and Li Lei to become the No. [-] goalkeeper of the national team. The defense in front of him is all domestic Players, in the midfield, Hu Yong started, and Li Gang, who played for Everton in the Premier League, formed a double midfielder. Sun Chenghai's position was based on the right midfielder, and the left midfielder was Zheng Bin from Wuhan. The two forwards were Veterans Hao Dong and Li Jinyu.

The Hong Kong team formed a 4-5-1 formation, trying to fight the midfield and reduce the pressure on defense. After all, there is a gap in strength.

After the national anthem was played, Pei Wei calmed down the excitement in his heart, and chatted with Zhu Jun who was sitting next to him.

What he didn't expect was that there are now more cameras shooting on the bench than in the shooting field. You must know that the bench of the Chinese team is really star-studded. They only play in the five major European leagues. There are four players.

Prince of Mallorca, one of the best organizers in Spain, Pei Wei is a substitute, Sevilla's left angel Zhu Jun is a substitute, Tottenham Hotspur's main central defender and second free kick penalty Li Min is a substitute, the captain of the Olympic team, and Freiburg's defensive core Du Wei is also a substitute...

"Damn, our national team is really awesome. There are four returnees on the bench. When did the Chinese national team have such confidence?" A photographer saw that the main lineup only had four returnees. Swallowing down a swear word, he grunted angrily.

The game started, and the five-man midfield of the Hong Kong team played a role. Relying on the advantage of numbers, they destroyed the cooperation of the Chinese team in the midfield. Although Hu Yong's several long passes played a certain role, but The striker and the midfielder are out of touch, and the Chinese team, which lacks echelon attacks, can at most only pose a certain threat to the opponent's goal. However, the Hong Kong team's goalkeeper Fan Junye performed very well and resolved the Chinese team's offense several times.

The most threatening shot of the Chinese team appeared in No.208 minutes. Hao Dong's breakthrough caused a corner kick. Zheng Bin hoisted the ball into the penalty area. The defender Li Wei who put in the assist shook his head seven meters in front of the goal and was caught. Fan Junye unbelievably blocked the baseline with his legs on the goal line.

After this shot, the Chinese team slowly took the initiative on the field. Hu Yong made a sharp pass to Hao Dong in the midfield to create a one-handed goal. Fan Junye attacked and destroyed the ball, and then Zheng Zhi used a corner kick The opportunity was grabbed again and the header was scored, but unfortunately it was higher than the goal frame.

The Chinese team completely controlled the situation on the court. Wu Qi was almost out of work. Unfortunately, the Chinese team's offense was fruitless. Dong's return shot and Zheng Zhi's free kick were all resolved by him one by one. At the end of the first half, the two sides drew 0:0.

This result also dissatisfied the fans of the Chinese team who came from afar. They kept clamoring and shouting the names of Pei Wei and Zhu Jun.

"Feng, do you have any comments?" Ali Han asked his assistant Feng Yu on the way to the locker room.

In the first half, he took advantage but failed to score. Ali Han was under a lot of pressure. He also knew about the personnel reform within the Football Association. Yan Wenqiang, the chairman he elected from Europe, was no longer in that position. The chairman didn't seem to be interested in him. A few days ago, he strongly urged him to call Pei Weizhujun and other players he didn't need into the national team. Ali Han felt a little crisis.

"I don't think there is a need to line up double midfielders. The Hong Kong team's offense is not strong. We have four defenders. The problem now is that the midfielder and the striker cannot connect and lack the ability to attack continuously. I think it is better to withdraw. The next defensive midfielder is Pei Wei, who can hold the ball on the court, and the situation will definitely improve." Feng Yu expressed his opinion.

Ali Han thought for a while, and still vetoed: "No, the double midfielder is a barrier to protect the penalty area. If we remove one, our waist will not be able to stand up. The formation cannot be changed. I think so, replace Zheng with Pei." , How about letting him play the left midfielder? He is fast, and he should be able to cause trouble for the opponent on the wing, and he can also shoot long shots on the wing. The opponent must not think that we will let him play the left midfielder, so we can Can take the initiative tactically.”

Feng Yu really wants to punch this stubborn Dutch old man right now, instead of using Zhu Jun, a good and authentic left midfielder, he uses Pei Wei to hit him in an unsuitable position. What is this guy thinking? Will it be flexible or to show that he employs people differently?
Seeing that Feng Yu held his breath and did not speak, Ali Han automatically took it as his acquiescence. After entering the locker room, he announced the substitution to the players.

Pei Weidang was very excited when he knew that he was going to play, but when Ali Han gave him a face-to-face instruction, the smile on his face gradually disappeared and was replaced by a dazed expression.

"When you play as a left midfielder after playing, you must pay attention to retreating and defending! A good midfielder must learn to defend, otherwise he will never be able to become grand!" Ali Han began to "inquire and induce" Pei Wei, teaching without omission My own opinion: "Break through more on the wing, and if you have a chance, go to the middle. If the opponent is defending intensively, use long-range shots. I know that your long-range shots are very good. Even if you can't score, you can create opportunities for the striker... "

The more Pei Wei listened, the more confused he became. Not to mention letting himself play as a midfielder, how can he go to the middle more often if he "breaks more on the side?"In the end is how much to that place? "Use long-range shots to create opportunities for forwards." Do long-range shots create more opportunities than passes?If the penalty area is full of people, long-range shots can only be based on luck. The question is, does it still need luck to deal with a team that is so much weaker than yourself like the Hong Kong team?
Zhu Jun gave him high-fives to celebrate his first appearance on the national team, and whispered something in his ear: "Now you have taken my position away, don't behave too well, or I will have to be the first Three substitutes!" Pei Wei could only smile wryly.

With a head full of paste, Pei Wei stepped onto the court. This was the first time he had such a clear understanding of the coach's tactical intentions.
