ball at foot

"South Africa is such a bad 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, but he doesn’t understand why he wants to play here: the place where he plays football is fighting on a plateau, and the environment for playing football is very poor.At the same time, the environment of the city is also in a mess.To play football in other places, you can at least go out and have a look, but here, the poor security environment in South Africa determines that they can only stay in the hotel and are not allowed to go elsewhere.

How can such a city host the World Cup?Zhao Yaning did not complain about this.

However, playing games in such a city, the opponents in the game are not very strong, which can be counted, and it is the thing that makes him most happy.The current Chinese team needs to play more matches against strong teams to verify their strength. The Confederations Cup team is small, and a good group is basically equal to half a foot in the knockout round. It is always good to play a few more games of. [

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

And under such a grouping, the game in China is much simpler.Although it is estimated that they cannot 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 and couldn't help being surprised, "Isn't this sound too terrifying?"

"This is the vuvuzela. Brother Zhang gave me one. It's very fun, but I really didn't expect that it would sound so ugly when so many blow it together..."

This traditional African musical instrument is obviously beyond China's ability to tolerate the players.Zhao Yaning ran on the court, as if for nine or ten minutes, his ears were always buzzing.But fortunately, the New Zealanders on the opposite side seemed to be in a worse situation. They also made mistakes in the same cooperation, and it was difficult to play well. This made the Chinese team's usual playing style become a good thing.

The players of the Chinese team have always lacked on-court communication. This point has been repeatedly emphasized by all foreign teachers.Zhao Yaning usually pays attention to this problem, but no matter how loud he yells alone, others still remain silent-they are very shameless when they lose, but they are thin-skinned when they yell on the field.However, this match turned out to be a good thing—anyway, there was buzzing everywhere, so none of us should communicate.

The opponent's poor cooperation naturally became an opportunity.Since there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, don't show mercy.Zhao Yaning immediately dribbled the ball and set off an attack, and the opponent he was facing was a soft persimmon like New Zealand. Within 30 minutes of the opening, Zhao Yaning used a long shot to break through the opponent's goal.

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

The champion of Oceania has always been Australia.Because Australia joined the AFC, the Australian champion this time became New Zealand.Their strength is indeed not strong. After all, without Australia, they can compete with Tahiti for the championship at most. Their strength is indeed not much stronger. They played really badly against the Chinese team. , after conceding a goal, their problems became more serious, and soon, Hao Junmin scored the second goal, and then Zheng Zhi scored with a long shot, and the Chinese team won the first match 3-0

"When we come here, the most important thing is to get used to the game. Whether it's the venue, the environment, or the vuvuzela, we have to get used to it. After we get used to it, when we come here again next year, we'll be able to get used to it." It can have some advantages. Although it is not a big advantage, it is better than nothing, and accumulating experience will be of great benefit to us."

The reason why Zhao Yaning said these words to the team is because he knows that the following game is estimated to be impossible for the Chinese team to win.

The opponent is the Spanish national team. At a glance, Ramos, Cassie and other teammates, Alonso, the former teammate, Villa, the super shooter of the league, plus Torres, Capdevila and Senna ——These people have added to Barcelona's team with Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, and Pique as the central axis. Even if they let Real Madrid play, they will feel headaches, let alone the Chinese team?When he was in Real Madrid, Zhao Yaning didn’t have to worry about what went wrong. Looking back now, it’s all problems. If the Chinese team can beat Spain, then there will be ghosts.

However, as soon as the game started, Zhao Yaning discovered that Spain's control was quite tight.They keep the ball in the backcourt 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 so.After all, the Chinese team doesn't have any strong abilities at all, worried about surprise?The Chinese team only has Zhao Yaning who can make a surprise attack, and he can be blocked with a little help.And worry about counter-robbery?The Chinese team does not have the physical strength to fight back in the frontcourt. If they can press and grab for 90 minutes, the Chinese team does not have to be so wretched.Anyway, Zhao Yaning doesn’t think that Spain’s style of play is necessary.

However, after being busy throughout the first half, when it came to the off-duty field, after Villa scored a goal with a rapid impact, Zhao Yaning suddenly understood a little bit.

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

"Your coach is very thoughtful."

After the 0-1 loss, Zhao Yaning also said something to Cassie. Cassie smiled, but didn’t say much—is it not just the coach who is thinking big?

After this game, the Chinese team immediately ushered in the third game, against South Africa.In this game, the Chinese team did not make any more mistakes - South Africa also lost to Spain and defeated New Zealand. Like the Chinese team, they all accumulated three points, but the goal difference was one less.After winning this game, the Chinese team can basically enter the knockout round. Therefore, the Chinese team also worked a lot. [

But 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. In 02, South Korea was hard-pressed. Such a South Africa, the strength is really not very good. Next year, it will enter the top four? Is this a joke?"

"Who said it must be South Africa? Any African country is not a landlord country?"

In this case, Zhao Yaning was stunned.That's right, with ff's character, they can do this kind of thing...

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

In another group, Italy was upset and eliminated, and Brazil and the United States entered the group first and second.As the second place in the group, the Chinese team has to deal with the Brazilian team.

"Brazil's current coach is Dunga, and the style of play is quite European."

Since the Brazilian coach replaced Dunga, his style of play has become more and more European day by day.Dunga is a pragmatic coach, and he also asks for results, not entertainment.The self-styled Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho was expelled from the national team by him, and he would not want anyone who spent a lot of time. Relying on more European players, the current Brazil is formed.

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

"Friends of the audience, this game is China vs. Brazil. We don't need to introduce the players of the Chinese team. As for Brazil's lineup, this game is goalkeeper Cesar, the defense is Maicon, Lucy Ao, Juan, Santos. The midfielder is Melo, Gilberto, Ramirez three midfielders, Diego starts as the midfielder, and the forwards are Fabiano and Robinho. Obviously, the Brazilian team is very good. Pay attention to the Chinese team, they formed a 4312 formation, except for Kaka who was injured and did not play, the others are the main force, which also shows their determination to compete..."

Brazil is almost the main force. Except for Kaka's injury, Marcelo has no main position because of his personality. The others are basically the best players in their respective positions.Apparently, Dunga and Bosque have the same mind, they are 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 scene.Among the three defensive midfielders, Ramirez does almost nothing, just to watch against Zhao Yaning. This guy with good physical strength is responsible for sticking close to him.But in this way, the Chinese team was directly pushed to the backcourt, and then resisted. Such a style of play made Zhao Yaning quite helpless. When encountering a real strong team, the Chinese team was really not good enough.

This is not enough, once we meet a strong team, we can't win, so what kind of football do we play!Spain is the same, Brazil is the same, so why do we play!

Zhao Yaning understood that someone on the other side entangled him, just to prevent him from organizing well and forcing him to make a forcible assault.After all, the possibility of a person breaking through a back line is very small.However, Zhao Yaning also made up his mind at this time, and everyone else has tried their best, so what if I just try my best!

Since the lion fights the rabbit, the rabbit is anxious and wants to bite!

In the opening 10 minutes, the Brazilians have been bombarding the Chinese team, but they have not been able to break through the gate of the Chinese team. Soon, Zhao Yaning found an opportunity. After receiving the ball once, he suddenly accelerated. Reis immediately grabbed his clothes, but Zhao Yaning found the opportunity and slammed into him, directly forcing him to let go. Then, he quickly adjusted his center of gravity and made a surprise attack towards the backcourt.

Now that I hold it, I will try to fight back.

"Zhao Zhao's counterattack... Melo!"

Dunga attaches great importance to defense, and this time, the interception he sent was also the butcher player Melo.Zhao Yaning’s breakthrough was very fast, and when he saw Melo approaching, he quickly dodged to the side, but Melo shoveled over with one foot, and when Zhao Yaning dodged, his foot suddenly lifted Get up and kick over!

"I'll go!" In an instant, dirty words burst out of the commentator's mouth, "Zhaochao was kicked by Melo, this is not a defense at all, this is a **"naked" kick! Zhao Yaning was kicked and fell to the ground , This is a red card move, a [-]% red card move!"

Melo's kick was an absolute foul. When Zhao Yaning dodged the tackle, he directly raised his leg and kicked Zhao Yaning's calf.This kick overturned Zhao Yaning, and he immediately got himself into trouble.

Zhao Yaning helped his teammates stand up, and he also saw the result ahead: Melo received a red card and was sent off.

This is a great opportunity! [

Regardless of the pain in his leg, Zhao Yaning wanted to stand up, but he gritted his teeth in pain and jumped before he stood still.However, even so, he was quite happy looking at the crowd: In the opening 20 minutes, Brazil was sent off. There is great hope for this game!
