Chapter 255 The First Battle

The international players in the "Dragon Soul" group have already agreed that everyone will not recognize Li Liang when they meet.

Liao Qiu still had a disagreement with Gao Bohong on the matter of recruiting Li Liang to participate in the training with the national football team.

Before discussing whether Li Liang should be directly recruited into the team in one step, Liao Qiu did not insist too much, so Gao Bohong had no choice but to reserve his opinion on Liao Qiu's approach this time.

Feng Xiao and the others also conspired in private. In such a sensitive atmosphere, everyone should pay attention to avoiding suspicion.

If it seems to be too familiar with Li Liang, Gao Bohong may misunderstand that someone in the international football team is on Liao Qiu's side.

The enemy's current overall situation is the most important thing, Li Liang and others have expressed their understanding.

Before the Silver Dragon team set off, they specially organized everyone, including Li Liang, to sign a non-disclosure agreement——

This is also an added link under the strong request of Gao Bohong.

After that, everyone, including Li Liang, handed in all their mobile phones.

Gao Bohong has always acted very cautiously, so he proposed to adopt stricter confidentiality measures to prevent accidents caused by leakage of the national football team's tactical play against the Maldives.

In addition to 15 players and Li Liang, the Silver Dragon team also has two coaches, Zhang Xiong and Hua Linlie, and a team manager. These 1 people will stay at the Tahu training base after the game until the 18th. Before the game against the Maldives, leave with the national football team.

Li Liang was a little curious, but also vaguely felt that being so nervous about the Maldives was indeed too exaggerated.

The game is about to start. Li Liang and everyone came to the stadium. Everyone noticed that the fence was covered with thick curtains, and the entire stadium was completely covered!

Under the leadership of the coaches and management team with as many as 22 people, the players of the national team entered the training ground in a mighty way.

I saw 24 international footballers came to the center of the field, joined hands with everyone in the coaching team and formed a circle, shouting "Come on!" three times together.

Li Liang saw Feng Xiao, Wen Lei, Wu Dong and other "Dragon Soul" group friends at a glance. The international players were all solemn and focused on training under the leadership of the assistants.

Li Liang took another look and realized that Zhao Linpeng, who was injured, did not participate in the warm-up. Zhao Linpeng, who can play right back and center back, told himself in WeChat yesterday that he had withdrawn from the final list of 23 people because of the injury.

But the most difficult thing for Li Liang and other fans to understand is the loss of the old captain Zhou Zhi.

In the news, Gao Bohong attributed the defeat of veteran Zhou Zhi to the needs of the overall tactical play, and he suggested that the national team will pay more attention to the overall speed.

Li Liang didn't take it seriously.

Although the 36-year-old Zhou Zhi's body is not as good as before, his awareness on the court and ability to handle the ball are still unmatched in China. He does not believe that Zhou Zhi will not adapt to the country's overall tactics because of his speed.

Zhou Zhi warned Li Liang not to mention this topic in a private chat, and he must put the overall situation first when the national team is in crisis.

Several Jiangbei local players started talking in low voices, and the Jiangbei people Zhong Cheng, Hao Jingmin, and Zhang Xinzhe who were very familiar with them in the national football team didn't even look at the fellow villagers.

Liao Qiu watched Li Liang quietly not far away. As soon as he entered the venue, he recognized this young man whom he cared about.

The 60-year-old man was also a little uneasy. He didn't know what kind of performance Li Liang would have in the next game.

The game is about to start, and the Silver Dragon team has confirmed the lineup at the preparatory meeting, and the main game is 541 in the first half.

In addition to sending 5 defenders, 3 defensive midfielders were deployed in the midfield, leaving only two offensive players in the frontcourt.

Li Liang was put on the substitute list, and Hua Linlie told him that he would come off the bench in the second half with 5 other players.

比赛开始，国足排出了4231阵型，门将1号钟诚，后卫线上13号章明剑、6号冯啸、2号成杭、4号刘学鹏。

The two midfielders are No. 15 Wu Dong and No. 21 Xu Hai.

The three attacking forwards are No. 19 Jiang Ning, No. 11 Hao Jingmin, No. 7 Wen Lei, and No. 9 high center forward Xu Yang.

After the national team stabilized their position at the beginning, they immediately took the initiative on the field. The body, strength, speed and technology of the national football team suppressed the Silver Dragons in all aspects. The game quickly turned into a half-court offensive and defensive drill.

To Li Liang's surprise, these international footballers with a total rating of around 70 seldom hold the ball and almost all play the ball with one kick.

The national team's tactical play is very clear. After getting the ball, they quickly divide the sides, and use the speed of the two full-backs Zhang Mingjian and Liu Xuepeng to repeatedly pass from the bottom. Attackers wait behind him to pick up the leak.

Such a simple and direct style of play seemed a little stiff to Li Liang, and he couldn't help recalling the national team games he had watched before——

If Zhou Zhi is in the midfield, there must be more options for the national team's offensive routines, right?
Li Liang really didn't understand why the national team had to choose the punching method when they had many skilled attackers at their feet?

Seeing the two wings of the national team making mechanical crosses again and again, and Xu Yang trying to fight for the top again and again, Li Liang couldn't help thinking about it——

If he was in the national team's team, what kind of offensive choices would the same ball make?

When Li Liang was distracted, No. 7 Wen Lei cooperated with his teammates and successfully sent a high-quality cross. No. 9 Xu Yang overwhelmed the Silver Dragon defender and shook his head to attack the goal. The ball flew directly past the goalkeeper Goal.

1:0, the national team leads!

Xu Yang simply gave Wen Lei a high-five to celebrate, and the rest of the international players calmly returned to their positions at halftime.

The Silver Dragon players didn't seem depressed either. Li Liang suddenly realized that everyone from the coach to the players felt that it was normal to concede a goal against the national team.

He was the only one who was disappointed. There was a problem with the defensive positioning of the Silver Dragon team's fullbacks, which gave Wen Lei the opportunity to pass in a calm pass. Strictly speaking, it was not because the national team played an offensive tactic, but purely because of Silver Dragon. The team's lax defense led to this conceded goal.

It didn't take long for the Silver Dragon defender to make a handball foul at the front of the penalty area.

An authentic native of Hanchang, Hao Jingmin, No. 11 of the national team, stood in front of the ball. After a strong run-up, he hit a beautiful curve ball and scored again! 2:0!

Li Liang remained motionless, and all the young and old members of the Silver Dragon team applauded and cheered.

At halftime, the national team led the Silver Dragons 2:0.
