Chapter 216 Sino-German Friendship Match (2)

The next day, the German team resumed training at the ridge base. This time, they came to China for warm-up and not for tourism. Wöhler had an important purpose to investigate.

Although the team has become younger, Worrell doesn't think it will be able to achieve good results. A group of young people have become more energetic, but they lack a little game experience, so they need games and use games to accumulate experience.

And the Chinese team is a suitable warm-up opponent, neither strong nor too weak, which is perfect for Worrell's first game.

After a day of training, the team has formed a tactical system with Nick as the core. Wöller didn't want to be wordy. Nick played so well in Borussia Mönchengladbach, so he took advantage of it.

Nick is also willing to do this. Under his command, the whole scene comes alive, runs actively, performs his duties, and fully enters the role.

Moreover, Nick's loud yelling made the teammates a little scared. Anyone who ran wrong or had a technical problem would be scolded by Nick, which made Worrall on the sidelines a lot easier.There is such a captain who implements his own technical and tactical concepts, which will get twice the result with half the effort.

Worrall also tried the second set of tactics, which is to use the vice-captain Ballack as the core, in case Nick is not there, Ballack's ability is also competent.

However, Ballack's temper is generally gentler than Nick's, which is one of the reasons why Deisler tried to snatch him as the core of Bayern.

So this time Wöhler didn't select Deisler into the German national team at all. This genius had conflicts with the captain and deputy captain of the German national team, and he was full of personality. Wöhler didn't want the German national team to have internal strife.

After two days of training, Völler finalized the starting list (3-5-2) for the warm-up match with the Chinese team: (goalkeeper) Enke; (defender) Ramello, Metzelder, Friedrich; (midfielder) Nick, Ballack, Dex, Frings, Hitzelsperger; (forward) Neuville, Jankel.

From the point of view of this lineup, there are many players who can become midfielders. This is the strength of the German team. Moreover, these players are very malleable on the field.And Waller's requirement for the midfielder is to pass the ball accurately and quickly,
And the key person is Nick.

It can be said that Worrall is a little too dependent on Nick. If he works alone, he will win everything. After all, Nick has the heaviest burden on his shoulders.

At 10:7 on the evening of October 19th, the game came as scheduled, and the game was held at the Kundu Dongjiao Stadium.

This is also the first time that this stadium hosts a national team match, and the opponent is the German team, so the Dongjiao Stadium is full of seats.

When the players from both sides walked out of the player tunnel, the audience applauded thunderously, and the fans all cheered.Of course, the support for the home team is still much stronger. With so many returnees in the Chinese team, the fans have high expectations.

Nick walked in the front, parallel with him was Ma Ming, the captain of Xichuan 1999, and they talked while walking.

"Boss, you have to put some water in today, don't kick us too badly."

"Hey, Maer, you are wrong. Competitive sports must pursue higher, faster and stronger, so as to satisfy the fans who buy tickets."

"Hey, boss, it seems that I can only work harder, and try to score one more goal than you."

Ma Ming is unwilling to admit defeat. Although the German team is very strong, at home, Ma Ming still hopes to give the German team a disarm.

Nick didn't pay attention to the Chinese team at all. Even though the Chinese team has so many returnees, the overall strength of the Chinese team is still more than one grade lower than that of the German team. Nick not only wants to start the first shot of the national team captain, but also wants to bring out China's problems. Therefore, Nick will not release water.

After all the ceremonies have passed, the game officially begins.

It was the Chinese team that kicked off first.

Hao Dong and Li touched the ball, and then immediately passed the ball back to Zhao Junzhe, and Zhao Junzhe handed the ball to the captain Ma Ming.

Ma Ming rushed up with the ball, but he didn't choose to fight Nick in the middle, but chose the left.

But Ma Ming soon found that he could not dribble the ball. Dex and Frings forced him over at the same time. Ma Ming had to choose to pass Li Yihuan back.

Li Yihuan was not so easy to deal with. This guy rushed towards Dex immediately after taking the ball.

And Dex played more of a substitute in Borussia Mönchengladbach this season, and his competitive state was a bit dull, so he was passed by Li Yihuan at once, but Frings made up for it in time, rushing up and poking the ball out of the sideline.

The Chinese fans at the scene burst into warm applause, not only applauding Li Yihuan's wonderful breakthrough, but also applauding Frings' decisive kick.

Li Yihuan threw the ball from the sideline, and Li Yi, who pulled the sideline, leaned against Friedrich.

Li Yi's foot skills were not good, and he was uncomfortable being carried by Friedrich, so he had to pass the ball back to Li Yihuan with a little force, but the moment the ball was about to pass the line, Li Yihuan had already sprinted past, dribbling the ball past the German team's defense line, and went straight to the bottom line.

And Nick also chased after him. Nick would never let Li Yihuan cut in to hit the goal, but a cross from the side is acceptable.

Li Yihuan also did not choose to fight with Nick. In the usual training of Borussia Mönchengladbach, Li Yihuan and Nick carried it 10 times, and he was able to succeed once or twice.

Therefore, Li Yihuan directly chose to cross, and made an arc with his left foot, and the ball went straight to the back point.

Li Yihuan is a thief. Hao Dong, the Chinese team's supporter in the penalty area, is not tall, and he certainly has no advantage in fighting for the header, but his running position is very good. At this time, he also cruised to the back point.

When the ball fell, Hao Dong volleyed directly, but facing Lamelo who stepped forward to block, Hao Dong feigned a shot, unloaded the ball and pushed horizontally, but when Hao Dong was about to kick, Metzelder rushed over and kicked the ball out of the baseline!

This attack also cheered up the Chinese fans. The fans were very satisfied with being able to play such an attack against the German team. Lao Mi couldn't help clapping his hands off the field. The performance of the Hertha Berlin striker deserves the gimmick of "Asia's No.

Nick applauded his teammates and signaled everyone to be excited. Although the Chinese team is not as strong as the German team, they still played very well at home. In the past, many wealthy teams came to China, and there were not a few of them who lost. Putting aside those excuses, they still sent the ball into your goal, which shows that Chinese football still has some internal skills.

This corner kick made Fan Yi and other big defenders of the Chinese team rush over. Set-piece tactics are an important means for the Chinese team to score. But today, facing the tall and powerful German team, can they still succeed?

Ma Ming took a corner kick, Fan Yi and Metzelder jumped up at the same time, and their two big heads hit the ball. The final result was that Metzelder hit the ball, and Fan Yi hit the back of Metzelder's head. Stars appeared in their eyes, and both of them were a little dizzy.

The Chinese referee penalized Fan Yi for a foul, and the two dangled for a few seconds before returning to normal. Metzelder gave Fan Yi a resentful look, and Fan Yi laughed and ran away.

Enke shouted loudly: "Attack! Let the Chinese see our attack!"

The players of the German team 'squeaked' and pressed towards the Chinese team at halftime. It was obvious that Enke was going to kick off the ball with a big kick, and the height of the German team made it difficult for the Chinese team to deal with it.

Sure enough, Enke kicked out with a big kick, and the ball flew straight to the head of the big bald Yankel.
