Grass roots glory

Chapter 677
This victory was completely expected by most people, but after qualifying for the World Cup.The national team's schedule is tighter.

The whole team had to stay in Seoul for one day. The head of the Football Association and all the high-level officials of the Football Association came. Although it is fully considered that the national team will participate in the Confederations Cup, and there is only less than a week left before the start of the game, the whole team will definitely not be able to return to China It's a toss, but this celebration banquet cannot be saved.

Everyone is very excited, and the face of the head of the Football Association is full of smiles. He rushed from China to Seoul to watch the game, not just to act as a sounding board. He is definitely looking forward to this result more than any fans much.

The day the Chinese team stayed in Seoul, the media was definitely not calm.Everyone knows from the pre-match preparation atmosphere that Lippi really regards this game as a preview before the Confederations Cup.And the Chinese team has really not announced the squad for the Confederations Cup so far.That is to say, there are still variables.

Domestic front-line media are very concerned about what kind of team Lippi will bring. Since it is a World Cup match, the main framework of the World Cup can basically be seen from the Confederations Cup roster.

Now the Chinese team has sufficient personnel reserves in various positions, and the age structure is also reasonable, leaving a lot of room for the imagination of the media and fans.

This time is a bit different, probably because the lingering warmth of getting the tickets to the World Cup is still fermenting, at least in public opinion, there is no tension before the big game. As the authoritative domestic sports media, "Sports Weekly" is still doing a preview of the game with a little irony .

"Judging from the participating teams that have announced their rosters, the trend of lineup rejuvenation is very obvious. It is obviously for the World Cup to train the team to run in the lineup...Since there is such a trend, the Chinese team should also follow the trend. A state like Zhou Tiancheng cannot Guaranteed players, Lippi should do what he says and let him take a good rest. The World Cup is his stage. Many of the Chinese team's opponents in the group are Zhou Tiancheng's old opponents. Maybe they heard that Zhou Tiancheng I'm glad to hear that I'm sick! Then Zhou Tiancheng should also take a rest, so that others won't think that we are bullying others with a sick number..."

There are eight participating teams in the Confederations Cup. The Chinese team is divided into Group A. The opponents in the same group include the host Brazil, the Central North American and Caribbean Gold Cup champion Mexico, and Italy from Europe—because Spain also won the 2010 The World Cup champion in 2012 and the European Cup champion in [-] are equivalent to a team occupying two entry indicators, so they will participate in this Confederations Cup as the World Cup champion, while the European Cup champion should get the place from the runner-up Italy. make up.On the other side of Group B are Spain, Uruguay, Nigeria and Tahiti, an island nation from Oceania.

There is no opponent in the group that is easy to play. Even in the past, when they played in the Asian Cup, public opinion could not be so tolerant of the national team.

A day later, four hours before the national team departed from Seoul for Brazil, China's official squad for the Confederations Cup was officially released.

After the final hammering, all the media were relieved. None of the players were sent back to China by the coaching staff. It was the 23 players who came to Seoul this time, and then went to the second big show.

This was originally expected by most fans. After all, there is no extra time to add fresh blood to the Chinese team to run the lineup.

However, some fans watched the news of the Chinese team's roster and joked in the comment section below: "I was relieved that Lippi didn't kick Zhou Tiancheng out of the roster, but looking at Wu Sanshi, the chrysanthemum tightened, Sigh! Forget it, young people should be more tolerant... Sanshi, please don't throw away the single-handed sword, can you? This is the Confederations Cup, we can't afford it!"

Although it is a joke, it is also true. The three opponents of the Chinese team are more difficult to fight than the other. The opening match of this Confederations Cup will be against the host Brazil.

……

For next year's World Cup on home soil, Brazil's only goal is to have the sixth star embroidered on the chest of their jerseys.

But the head coach Scolari is very aware of the difficulty. Although his cards are not weak, they are completely different from the fantastic lineup he had when he took charge of the Brazilian national team for the first time in 2002.

In the frontcourt, the "3R" fantasy combination that once allowed him to sweep the crowd has become a swan song in the Samba Kingdom, which pursues gorgeous football. Even a midfielder like Gilberto Silva is hard to find in the midfield.As for the back line...

It's okay if you don't pay attention. He observed carefully during training, and he found that several defenders were not so active during training.

The left-back Marcelo, who likes to be funny in the team, has a serious face. Bayern defender Dante and Barcelona left-back Alves are both very impatient. He opened up directly without saving any face.

Scolari hurried over to pull the two sides apart, glared at Alves, and warned with a loud voice: "Daniel, what are you doing? Get out of the way."

"Coach, this is obviously his fault. With such a big head, he didn't break the ball when he went up to the tackle. I think he should have some experience. Otherwise, we may suffer a big loss in the match against the Chinese team."

Alves looked at Paulinho, who was 1.8 meters tall, and didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

Scolari looked around, and what he didn't expect was that he saw the same expression in the eyes of Dante and Marcelo.

This made the old coach frown, the problem is a bit serious, although he doesn't know where Paulinho has offended these seniors of the national team, but at this time he has to make an example of others.

So he pointed at Alves on the spot, and at the same time warned others: "This is just training. Listen, even in the game, if you want to win, the first thing you have to learn is unity! If you want to use the club's Seniority, I think I can teach young people, I don't mind letting him learn the word unity on the bench!"

Several people didn't say anything, and they discussed in low voices in disbelief after Scolari left.

"I hope the old man has really watched Zhou Tiancheng's game. He said this because of his confidence, not blind arrogance."

"The next game needs to cheer up, who will handle him?"

Everyone looked at Dante subconsciously, meeting the gazes of his teammates. Dante had an MMP in his heart, but he could only say: "If what you mean by getting him out midway, I can try my best."

Dante was very upset that his teammates took the initiative to throw the blame, so when he walked in front of Paulinho, he whispered and emphasized: "Young man, you'd better show your strongest level."

He snorted softly, leaving Paulinho with a confused look on his face.

Scolari really doesn't know much about the Chinese team. The overall impression of the Chinese team in his mind still stays in the group match of the Korea-Japan World Cup more than ten years ago.

Of course, Zhou Tiancheng must have heard of it, but he thinks that the Brazilian team as a whole is much better than the Chinese team. Without Dortmund's level of overall tactical operation, Zhou Tiancheng alone can still survive?

What's more, he recalled all the main players in the defense, and the lineup is neat.

But he didn't know that Dante, Alves and Marcelo came from Huang Saren, and Scolari didn't know that when he was selecting players, he had already left hidden dangers for the team. ——The defense of the three giants was stepped on more than once by Zhou Tiancheng, and these defenders were no longer so confident.
