King of the Zone

200 skill points, which is twice as many as the Asian Games champion, is enough for Cheng Hai to add the two skills of jumping and heading to full value.

Seeing this reward, Cheng Hai expressed his motivation.

That night, after Cheng Hai entered the dream training, his teammates became the teammate of the national team instead of the teammate of the club.

However, after switching to the teammate of the national team, the dream training experience that should have been 2000 in one night became 1000. This proves that in the eyes of the system, the national team's daytime training experience is only 500.

Although it is higher than the Olympic team, it is still not as good as Dortmund's first team.In the eyes of the system, Dortmund's strength is higher than that of the Huaguo national team, so Cheng Hai's training experience is not as good as Dortmund's.

Cheng Hai didn't care anymore.

Compared with the experience rewards of the Asian Cup competition, this training experience is simply a drop in the bucket.

According to the final championship reward, it can be speculated that the experience of the Asian Cup may be twice that of the Asian Games, with a goal reaching 10 experience.

If you can score two goals in a game, get the best player on the spot, plus the post-match winning award, then you will have 50 experience, which is quite rich.

Moreover, during the holiday period, Cheng Hai's weight increased by another 1kg, reaching 73kg, and his resistance ability was further strengthened.

Cheng Hai said that he couldn't wait for the game.

The next day, Cheng Hai began to practice with the national football team.

In fact, for Cheng Hai who reported so late, whether it was the coaching staff or the players, many people were muttering in their hearts, thinking that Cheng Hai was too arrogant, and the head coach was too indulgent to Cheng Hai.

There is not much time left, and it is not known whether Cheng Hai can successfully integrate into the new national football team.

This is not the Olympic team, but the first national team that Cheng Hai has never played with before.Although there are a few of Cheng Hai's teammates in the Olympic team, most of them have never played with Cheng Hai.

If this kind of behavior is done by someone who has no strength, it is definitely a manifestation of disorganization and discipline, and I am afraid that he will be expelled from the team long ago.

In the eyes of some unconvinced people, this is Cheng Hai's performance as a big-name ball bully.

In addition, at the age of 18, he occupied the position of captain when he was selected for the first time in the national team, which also made some people feel uncomfortable about Cheng Hai's lack of qualifications.

In short, it is impossible for the team to really be united as one. Everyone has their own little things in their hearts, but they just don't say it.

Some people with gloomy minds are expecting that Cheng Hai's training with the team will not go smoothly, the game will not perform well, the team will go home early, Cheng Hai will be pulled out to take the main responsibility, and then he will be criticized by the media and fans, stripped of the captain's armband, etc.

As a result, their dark thoughts fail on the first day of training.

There is indeed a problem with Cheng Hai's cooperation with his teammates, but Cheng Hai's personal ability is too abnormal.

Physique, shooting, dribbling, stopping the ball, grabbing points, balance, acceleration, speed, running without the ball, Matthews fake moves, ten skills or abilities are in perfect state with 20 full values.

Also 19 bounces and 17 headers.

Cheng Hai played a full 45 minutes in the afternoon training match when the intensity of confrontation was not as good as that of the Bundesliga and UEFA Cup.

As a result, even if his teammates didn't have any subtle cooperation with him, as long as the ball is handed over to him, Cheng Hai, who is wearing a red training uniform, can penetrate the red team's defense alone.

After the 45-minute training match, Cheng Hai scored four goals and staged a big four.

Among them, there were two grabs in the penalty area, one shot from outside the penalty area, and one header from a corner kick.

It can be called head kicking and omnipotent.

On the first day of training, Cheng Hai gave everyone a big shot, and let everyone know why Cheng Hai led the Olympic team to win the Asian Games championship, why he ran 100 meters in 9.56 seconds, and why he ranked first in the Bundesliga scorer list.

Compared with Cheng Hai, these ordinary Chinese players are like a few light years behind. They are far behind in all aspects, which makes people unconvinced.

In the next two days of training, Cheng Hai made people see his stability and recovery ability even more.

No matter how tired he is from training during the day, Cheng Hai wakes up refreshed, this is something that anyone can only admire and bow down to.

As a result, after a few days of joint training, everyone was convinced and believed that Cheng Hai's captain was well-deserved and deserved, even though he was only 18 years old.

As for Cheng Hai's ability, everyone can already imagine what kind of amazing performance Cheng Hai will show after the game starts.

If the national football team does not achieve good results in the end, I am afraid that the media and fans will not criticize Cheng Hai for not doing his best, but complain that other players are not good enough, which drags down Cheng Hai.

Thinking about it this way, no one would dare to complain about Cheng Hai. Hurry up and cooperate with Cheng Hai to train well, try to keep up with Cheng Hai's rhythm, and don't hold Cheng Hai back.

If they can really break into the finals, win the championship, and achieve a historic breakthrough for the national football team in the Asian Cup, they will also be able to benefit from Cheng Hai's glory and become members of the Asian Cup champion team, and their status will usher in a skyrocketing rise.

Thinking of such a prospect, almost no one is jealous of Cheng Hai. Everyone cooperates with the coach's overall tactics to train well and strive for a good performance after the start of the game.

A few days passed by in a flash. On January 2011, 1, the game day, the game started at 8:16 pm local time, and the domestic time was exactly 15:21 at that time, which was just right.

Therefore, domestic fans are very concerned about this game, and many people watch the live broadcast.

Before the start of the game, while watching CCTV reporters interviewing some Chinese and overseas Chinese fans who rushed to the scene to watch the game, everyone discussed in forums and post bars:

"The game is about to start. The first match of the national football team against Kuwait should be won?"

"Kuwait's FIFA ranking is more than 20 lower than ours, and Cheng Hai is now leading the team. If they can't win, then the national football team will be disbanded."

"I don't know if Cheng Hai can start! The intensity of the Asian Cup must be higher than that of the Asian Games, but it is not as high as the Bundesliga and the UEFA Cup. With Cheng Hai's physical fitness, it is possible to start like the Asian Games. If he can start, and take a break at halftime, Cheng Hai can play for six to seven 10 minutes, and the chances of winning will be much greater."

"Look, the starting list will be announced later!"

Indeed, one hour before the start of the game, all the media got the starting lists of both sides of the game, and everyone can spread it to the audience who care about the game in various ways.

Seeing Cheng Hai appearing in the starting list, all the Huaguo media and fans were immediately refreshed.

As long as Cheng Hai can start and play six to seven 10 minutes in a game, then the Hua Guo team does have the expectation of creating a new history in the Asian Cup.

Half an hour before the game, when Cheng Hai and his teammates appeared on the field to warm up, tens of thousands of Chinese and overseas Chinese fans cheered.

In this football stadium that can only accommodate 25000 spectators, Chinese and overseas Chinese fans almost turned it into the home of the Hua Guo team. Kuwaiti fans who are half-landlords may not have as many Chinese and overseas Chinese fans.

The attractiveness of Cheng Hai can be seen.

After the warm-up was completed, it was the appearance ceremony. When the 18-year-old Cheng Hai led the Hua Guo team to the field wearing the captain's armband, even the commentators from other Asian countries exclaimed:

"My God, the captain's armband of the Hua Guo team is on Cheng Hai's arm."

"Cheng Hai is the youngest player of the Huaguo team, only 18 years old, and the youngest of the others is three years older than him."

"Being able to wear the captain's armband on such a young man shows how much Hua people value Cheng Hai."

"Of course, Cheng Hai's strength and popularity are also worthy of this important task. Moreover, Cheng Hai is starting today, which means that he may, like the Asian Games, finish the first half, take a break at halftime, replenish his physical fitness, and last for two to three 10 minutes in the second half. This is definitely the biggest bad news for Kuwait."

"That's right! By the way, a player of the Hua Guo Olympic team said in an interview that the secret of Cheng Hai's recovery of physical fitness during the intermission is that he can enter a deep sleep in the noisy locker room of the stadium and quickly recover his physical fitness. I don't know whether it is true or not."

"Anyway, more than one person said that. I guess it's true. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Cheng Hai recovered so quickly after a 15-minute break after exhausting his energy in the first half."

Amid all the discussions, the two sides lined up to sing the national anthem and took a group photo. Cheng Hai and the captain of Kuwait completed the side-picking ceremony and exchanged team flags under the auspices of the referee, and the game was about to begin.

As a group A team, the Huaguo team is still relatively favorable in terms of schedule. If they can qualify for the group stage and advance to the knockout round, their schedule will be three days shorter than that of the team in the last match of the first round.

The first game in Group A was the opening match of the Asian Cup between the hosts Qatar and Uzbekistan. Unfortunately, the host Qatar did not win amidst the cheers of the home fans, but was beaten 2-0 by Uzbekistan.

In other words, in order to qualify, when the Hua Guo team meets the host Qatar later, Qatar will definitely have to work hard.

This Hua Guo team VS Kuwait game has become a game that must be won.

当地时间2011年1月8日下午16:15，随着主裁判的一声哨响，2011年卡塔尔亚洲杯小组赛A组第二场科威特VS华国的比赛正式开始。

When Cheng Hai started the field, Kuwait also played very practically. Instead of confronting the Hua Guo team, they put on a counterattack posture at the beginning of the game. The formation was 4231 double defensive midfielders. The two wingers and midfielders are also players with good defensive capabilities.

However, Cheng Hai at this time has improved to a greater extent in terms of physical confrontation ability, speed, dribbling skills, etc. compared to when he was in the Asian Games.

Even though this is an adult national team game, Kuwait still can't stand Cheng Hai, who can gain a foothold in European football.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Cheng Hai completed his first shot.

However, there were indeed too many people in the opponent's penalty area, and Cheng Hai's shot was intercepted by an opponent's defender and destroyed the bottom line.

Although the goal was missed, it still shocked the Kuwaiti players and fans.

They knew how good Cheng Hai's shooting skills were, and it was a fluke that the shot was blocked this time.

Next, Kuwait paid more attention to Cheng Hai's defense. Often two or three people defended Cheng Hai alone, and other people assisted in the defense, trying not to give Cheng Hai any chance to shoot.

When Kuwait's defense focused most of its attention on Cheng Hai, the rest of the Hua Guo team naturally got a lot of opportunities.

Although most of the time, their poor shooting skills make them unable to score even if they have a chance to shoot, but with more opportunities, they can still create threats, especially for Cheng Hai to create opportunities for supplementary shots in the chaos in the penalty area.

In the 17th minute, Cheng Hai ran laterally to the left in the penalty area and took away two defenders, causing a brief gap in Kuwait's right rib defense in the penalty area.

Right midfielder Qu Bo entered the penalty area from the wing, followed by midfielder Deng Zhuoxiang's through ball and hit the goal with his foot on the right side of the penalty area. Unfortunately, the angle was slightly right and was saved by goalkeeper Halliday.

Just when the players and fans in Kuwait were about to breathe a sigh of relief, Cheng Hai, who had just run horizontally, suddenly appeared at the point where the ball landed in the small penalty area, and kicked the ball that goalkeeper Khalidi had saved and shot it into the goal.

Cheng Hai's full value of running without the ball, ability to grab points, starting speed, etc., played a decisive role at this moment.

With Cheng Hai suddenly changing direction and speeding up, and not daring to foul easily in the penalty area, Kuwait's defender finally failed to stop Cheng Hai's grabbing shot.

The moment the ball flew into the net, the Huaguo fans at the scene and in front of the TV immediately applauded and cheered excitedly.

Cheng Hai himself also received the experience reward for official scoring in the Asian Cup. Just as he guessed before the game, the official scoring experience reward for this Asian Cup reached 10, which is very generous.

The Hua Guo team members celebrated for almost half a minute. After the game restarted, Kuwait still guarded against Cheng Hai.

It's not that they don't want to take care of other Huaguo players, but that they can't do anything.

When Cheng Hai needs two or three people to defend, there will definitely be loopholes in the defense of other Hua Guo players, which is unavoidable.

After all, it was Cheng Hai who scored just now, so they thought it was more important to pay attention to defending Cheng Hai.

At the same time, after all, they are behind in the score now, and they have to find ways to counterattack and try to score goals.

As a result, Kuwait continued to defend Cheng Hai strictly, but the defense against the other players of the Hua Guo team seemed not so strict.

The result was that not long after the first goal, the Hua Guo team scored the second goal in the 25th minute.

The ball was cut inside after Yu Hai broke through from the left. Cheng Hai's response in the penalty area caused a panic in Kuwait's defense. The running positions of Deng Zhuoxiang, Qu Bo and others also attracted most of Kuwait's attention.

Then, Zheng Zhi, the defensive midfielder inserted in the back row, was in a short unguarded gap.

Yu Hai saw Zheng Zhi's back row plugging in, without hesitation, he immediately crossed the ball into the gap at the top of the penalty area.

This time, the combination of the passing and cutting of the two and the movement of other players were just right. Zheng Zhi didn't need to stop the ball to adjust, and directly kicked and volleyed without any interference.

Zheng Zhi's shot touched the ball accurately without any interference, and his strength was very good. The kicked ball was very good in terms of speed, strength, and angle, and went straight to the lower right corner.

Goalkeeper Halliday realized it was not good when Yu Hai passed the ball horizontally, and was ready to save Zheng Zhi's shot.

But Zheng Zhi's uninterrupted shot, the speed and angle are too good. Although Halliday made a save, he was still helpless against the tricky shot from this angle. In the end, he couldn't do anything, and watched the ball rush into the goal from the front of his palm.

In the 25th minute, Zheng Zhi scored another goal for the Huaguo team to take a 2-0 lead.

This time, for Kuwait, it is even worse.

At this time, they had realized that it would not be feasible to concentrate most of their energy on defending Cheng Hai. The other Huaguo players were still players after all, not wooden stakes.

If the defense is weak, other Huaguo players can also score goals, just like the goal lost this time.

But for Kuwait, what is more painful is not only the follow-up defense problem, but also the more realistic score problem. They are now two goals behind.

Like the Huaguo team, they will face the host Qatar, which lost in the first round. If they cannot get an ideal result in the match with the Huaguo team, then they will not be able to qualify for the group stage.

Therefore, in addition to defense, they also have to find ways to counterattack and attack.

If they completely waited for Cheng Hai to be substituted in the second half before counterattacking, in just two to three 10 minutes, I am afraid that there would not be enough time for them to equalize or reverse the score.

Kuwait, which is two goals behind, must start to counterattack now, instead of passively allowing the Huaguo team to attack.

Although knowing the risk of attacking and defending Cheng Hai at the same time, after the game restarted, Kuwait, forced by the situation, had to take the initiative to strengthen its offense and try to score goals.

But the overall strength of Kuwait itself is not as good as that of the Huaguo team. In addition, Cheng Hai involved most of the opponent's defensive players in the backcourt, making them afraid to step forward to participate in the attack. Kuwait's offensive efficiency can be imagined.

It doesn't matter if the offense is weak and you can't score the goal. The key is that you are often counterattacked by steals.

Cheng Hai's acceleration and speed skills are both at full value, and he is a terrifying existence that has created a world record of 100 seconds for 9.56 meters.

As long as a teammate steals the ball and passes the ball to Kuwait's half, Cheng Hai's off-the-ball movement, grabbing points, and speed can cause huge troubles for Kuwait.

Although the players of the Huaguo team are not pass masters like Harvey and Iniesta, and they cannot match Cheng Hai's running position and speed every time they pass, they will always succeed once they pass more times.

And Kuwait, which was behind by two goals, could not stop attacking because of Cheng Hai's threat.

Therefore, after Kuwait's offense failed to score a goal for a long time, and the Huaguo team experienced several failed counterattacks with poor pass and cut coordination, in the 38th minute, the Huaguo team once again got the opportunity to steal the ball and counterattack.

Kuwait's pass made a mistake and was intercepted by defender Zhao Peng with a flying shovel, and the ball was stabbed to the foot of midfielder Zheng Zhi.

When the ball was shoveled by Zhao Peng and rolled towards Zheng Zhi, the keen Cheng Hai immediately turned around and rushed towards Kuwait's half at the fastest speed.
