Chapter 45 Friendly Match

With the end of this game, Tianjin Wei ushered in a two-week holiday.

However, Tianjin Wei did not take a vacation, and they were about to leave for Japan.

They will have a friendly match against Niigata Swans, No.2 from the bottom of the J-League.

Niigata Swan has never been a strong team in the J-League, and was later relegated to the J2 League.

And it is also a downstream team in the J2 league, but it is definitely the best warm-up target for the current Tianjin Wei.

Xue Yang was quite surprised that Niigata Swan agreed to the warm-up match.

Later, Xue Yang learned that it was because of Niigata Swan's recent bad results.

In the game two weeks ago, they lost to Joy Iwata 1-6.

You must know that Iwata Joy is not a strong team, it is located in the middle and lower reaches of the J-League.

This makes the morale of the team low, so a victory is needed to boost morale.

That's why he agreed to Tianjin Wei's invitation, even though Tianjin Wei is only a Chinese team.

Just as Xue Yang was about to lead the team to Japan, the outside world began to question Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Wei, the No.1 player in China's First Division, unexpectedly lost to HHHT Dongjin.

Some people think that this must be a match-fixing, and questioned that Tianjin Wei definitely took money.

In fact, some people suspected that Tianjin Wei played match-fixing before, and some even thought that Tianjin Wei could have the current results.

It was bought by Tianjin Wei, of course, this is only a minority.

Xue Yang is also very helpless about this, and now he has lost a game in the league, and there are people scolding him.

Xue Yang didn't bother to bother, he needed to lead the team to Japan.

And the players know that the team will go to Japan for a friendly match, and many players are looking forward to it.

This time, in addition to leading the first team players, Xue Yang also brought several young players from the youth team.

Many people are going abroad to play football for the first time, and they are also full of curiosity about being able to play against teams in the J-League.

Before I knew it, June came, and the training ended.

The players have been improved to varying degrees. The first is the left winger Jiang Bin, whose ability has been improved to 74 points.

Then there is forward Zheng Jinshan, whose ability has been improved to 64 points.

Next is midfielder Lu Lewen, whose ability has increased to 74 points.

Followed by right back Zhou Song, his ability has been raised to 72 points.

Then there is the central defender Yan Sha, whose ability has been improved to 62 points.

Finally, the defensive midfielder Yuan Han, his ability has been raised to 62 points.

Next, we will formulate training for this month. The first two items have not changed, but Lu Lewen's training has been cancelled.

The last one chose "another brick in the wall", and Xue Yang finally chose forward Zheng Jinshan, central defender Yan Sha and midfielder Yuan Han.

This time the friendly match is scheduled for June 6st. After this match, Xue Yang will lead the team to Harbin directly.

Because of the next league, Harbin Yiteng will be challenged away.

Soon the news of the warm-up match between Tianjin Weijiang and Niigata Swan broke out, which surprised many Huaxia fans.

Although Tianjin Wei has shown its dominant strength in the Chinese Premier League, the Niigata Swans are only the bottom team in the J-League.

But after all, one of the two sides is in the second-tier league, and the other is a team in the first-tier league.

And it's not a Chinese Super League team, it's a J-League team.

So in the eyes of many people, Tianjin Wei is looking for abuse.

Everyone couldn't understand why Tianjin Wei ran to the opponent's home court to play this kind of game that must be lost.

Although there are also some Chinese teams that will go to Japan and South Korea for friendly matches.

However, most of them found sub-level or even lower-level leagues. In Xue Yang's previous life, Tianjin TEDA played a friendly match with a Korean amateur team, and even lost to them.

Now the gap between Chinese and Japanese football is slowly widening, and now there is not a single Chinese player in the five major leagues.

The closest one may be Zhang Chengdong. On the other hand, there are already many people in Japan playing in the five major leagues.

There are also some playing in the second division of Germany, and the football between the two countries has become bigger and bigger.

In such an environment, no one thinks that Tianjin Wei can win.

Because this is just a friendly match, there will be no live broadcast on TV.

If you want to watch it, you can only find the non-commentary version on the Internet.

And it is very difficult to find, but there are still a small number of Tianjin fans who are curious to find it.

Soon the match day came, and the Tianjin Wei players were looking forward to it.

Looking forward to playing against the Japanese team, the starting list of both sides will be confirmed soon.

Goalkeeper: 21 Higashiguchi Junaki;

Defenders: 19 Kim Jin-soo, 4 Suzuki Daisuke, 5 Ishikawa Naoki, 17 Uchida Jun;
Midfielders: 10 Michelle, 15 Honma Isao, 26 Kotani Kenji, 7 Fujita Seiya;

Forwards: 11 Bruno Lopez, 9 Takaaki Yano.

In this game, the Niigata Swans set up a 4-4-2 formation, which is also their main tactical formation this season.

And judging from the starting list, they are obviously here for the victory.

Among them, Xue Yang is most familiar with his left back Kim Jin-soo. This South Korean full-back will join Hoffenheim in the future.

Is a very good player, and then went to Saudi Arabia to play after leaving Europe.

Then there is the central defender Daisuke Suzuki, who played in Spain in the future and returned to Japan after a few seasons.

However, there is a powerful player Xue Yang does not know, and he is the starting forward Takaaki Yano.

The 28-year-old Japanese striker has just returned to Japan after studying abroad.

He played for Freiburg before, and he returned to Japan earlier this season.

As for Tianjin Wei, Xue Yang set up a 4-3-3 formation:

Goalkeeper: 40 Zhuang Zhongtong (54);
后卫：29张伟（51），4福尔图纳托（71），24王盘（67），2周松（72）；
中场：15卢乐文（74），10莱奥·席尔瓦（71），39袁瀚（62）；
前锋：19蒋宾（74），38郑锦山（64），7朱海伟（56）。

Today, Xue Yang does not have Dong Yourong as the main midfielder in the starting lineup.

Because he is in mediocre form today, but Yuan Han is in excellent condition.

It can be regarded as training Yuan Han, Xue Yang plans to promote him to the first team.

Although the match hadn't started yet, Xue Yang could tell that the opponent didn't seem to attach much importance to Tianjin Wei.

Now China football is getting worse and worse, and Tianjin Wei is not even a Chinese Super League team.

Soon the game started, and there was not a single spectator on the scene.

At the beginning, the two sides tried each other, probably because the other party is a J-League team.

Therefore, Tianjin Wei's players are very serious, but looking at the other side is relatively easy.

I have to say that the basic skills of Japanese players are indeed good, and their thinking is very clear.

However, Tianjin Wei is different from other Chinese teams. Tianjin Wei's young players are basically very good.

There are only two loopholes in the starting lineup, Zhang Wei and Zhu Haiwei, and the other players are very stable.
