Frenzy [football]

If you have to say, why did Brazil's Sao Paulo team be so tough when they encountered the Chinese Football Association who wanted to recruit their players three weeks before the game? It's so... different from the toughness and persistence of the other four European clubs .

The first reason is that they have no broadcasting market in China at all... and there are really not many Chinese in Brazil.Although you can say that there are Chinatowns and Chinese gathering places in South American countries, the number of Chinese in Brazil and the proportion of local residents are not comparable to those in Europe. Compared with the Chinese.

In other words, when the Sao Paulo team signed Lei Yi, they did not consider the additional benefits and attention his nationality could bring to the club.If they had to say that there was something extra about Lei Yi that they valued, it must be his pair of long and short legs that were exactly the same as the Brazilians' favorite player Garrincha.

The second reason is that the Brazilian team is extremely busy.If you compare the various strong teams in Europe, generally speaking, European teams only need to play in their domestic leagues, cups, and the Champions League or Europa League.But the Brazilian team also needs to play their domestic intercontinental championship, as well as the Copa Libertadores and the South American Club Cup, which are equivalent to the European Champions League and Europa League. The time of these two events does not overlap at all. Yes, and as long as you have enough qualifications and are strong enough, a team can completely become the champion of the South American Club Cup when winning the South American Copa Libertadores trophy.

It is precisely because of this that, basically, those strong teams in Brazil are in the third-line battle all year round. Perhaps the players who play in the Brazilian First Division can already calmly face the days when they need to play three games a week .

The third reason is that the strength of the Brazilian teams is not very different, and the competition in the league is extremely fierce.Last season's defending champion of the Brazilian Serie A was relegated to the Brazilian Serie B this season, and even a certain Brazilian team found out when they won the championship trophy of the Copa Libertadores, the highest level competition among South American clubs. They were humiliated and relegated from their domestic league!Things like this happen all the time in Brazil.

In other words, all clubs in Brazil need to be vigilant from time to time, not even a little slack.

Under such circumstances... You have to let the Sao Paulo team give up their rapidly rising star this season for a week, which is enough to make them entangled for a while. The Ecuador team went to a training camp three weeks before the start of the game. They really couldn't do it! !

Moreover, the Sao Paulo team has another layer of scruples and worries about Lei Wing's drafting.

The play-offs of the World Cup qualifiers all have two home and away rounds, and there is only a week between the two rounds.Therefore, the Chinese team recruited their super rookies three weeks in advance for the first round of the intercontinental play-offs of the World Cup qualifiers. Then the week between the two rounds of the intercontinental play-offs... Will the Chinese team really return Lei Yi to them? ?

The Brazilian said, don't make fun of them, believe it or not!

At this time, in the training base of the Sao Paulo team in Brazil, two Brazilian football coaches who were somewhat famous in their hometown fought fiercely in front of the younger generation of players.They pulled each other's hair and punched each other in the stomach.oh!It was so tragic, one of them even got his belt ripped off! !

The person closest to the center of the storm was the cause of the fight between the two, Lei Yi.

Although Brazilian fans may often stage riots in the stadium, Lei Yi has only seen a riot in the stadium in less than half a year since he came to Brazil.But Lei Yi said... the scene in front of him was really the first time he saw it in his life! !

Lei Yi glanced left and then again, almost whimpering.He was anxious in his heart, but he felt that his small body really didn't know what to do against those two big guys.

"Whoever it is!! Come and help! Help pull them away!!"

Fifteen minutes later, the riot in the training base of the Sao Paulo club finally stopped, but Lei Yi, who was sitting face to face with the two Brazilian coaches, gave the Chinese coach Andrik a thunderbolt news.

"Sir! Sir, I'm sorry for you!! Dahe is gone! I have altitude sickness!!!"

The head coach of the Chinese team, Andrik, who hadn't done this kind of exercise for a long time and was still panting, felt dizzy almost the moment he heard these words...

Five days later.

The 23-man roster of the Chinese team that has entered the intercontinental play-offs of this round of qualifiers is finally complete, and they started their closed training in Quito, Ecuador.Although, the assembly was completed 21 days in advance, which is still a lot later than the [-] days originally expected by head coach Andrik.However, coming to the Ecuador team's home court so many days in advance to adapt to the altitude here is still a record among the teams playing against Ecuador.

Because of the particularity of the venue for this game, the head coach also considered the player's place of birth and native place when recruiting players.Among them, one player was accidentally called up because he was from Jingyuan, Gansu, and another player was called up by the national team for the first time because his hometown was in Golmud.

Jingyuan and Golmud, Gansu, one is 2000 meters above sea level, and the other is 800 meters above sea level.

I believe that for people from these two places, playing football at an altitude of 2850 meters in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, will not be a problem.However, although China has a vast land and abundant resources, no matter how hard the head coach is, he can't find a starting 2000 players who all come from areas above 11 meters above sea level.

What's more worrying is that the young Galin Charleigh, who was supposed to be the most energetic in the team... he was actually the one with the worst altitude sickness in the team! !

Although, before this, Lei Yi already knew that he would have altitude sickness, and this reaction may not be small, but after he actually arrived in Quito and trained with his teammates from the national team, he faced his own situation again. will be very frustrating.

That's right, that day his club teammate, Brazilian Dominguez took Lei Yi to the highest mountain in Sao Paulo State at an altitude of more than 700 meters in the evening.Lei Yi didn't feel anything when he got there, but when he got up the next morning, Lei Yi felt very listless.

At first he didn't pay much attention to it, he just thought it was because he didn't sleep well the day before.

But then he started to climb, run, and bounce the ball at an altitude of 700 meters, and it was a disaster!

He felt dizzy, and his ears were buzzing all the time. Some movements that were usually done with ease, turned out to be so strenuous at that time!After Lei Yi told Dominguez all his feelings, the other party told him with great certainty that he should have a body that is more sensitive to high altitudes, the devastating conclusion.

Lei Yi hoped that if he took the medicine to relieve altitude sickness and acclimatized in Quito for a few more days, his condition would improve.But until three days after he went to Quito to start the training camp, his condition still did not change much.

As a result, Lei Yi, who was full of energy in the past, became sickly, and he was not even interested in talking loudly to others. Even the half-court training of tactics was only three or ten minutes before he was out of breath. Basically, you can only lie on the ground and wait for help.

Just like that, Lei Yi's name quietly disappeared from the starting list of this crucial battle.

……

"Fans and friends, it is 09:30 in the morning of Beijing time, and 07:30 in the evening of Ecuador's local time. I am Chen Guangxin, and my colleague Rong Naida and I will bring you a commentary in the commentary room in Beijing! We should say, I'm really glad that today is the weekend, so fans and friends can watch the live broadcast of this game with us!"

The long-awaited November has finally arrived, and the complete list of the top 32 for next year's World Cup will also be announced this month.

Prior to this, the four teams participating in the World Cup intercontinental play-offs need to fight two by two to compete for the last two tickets to next year's World Cup.

Just today, the Chinese team has come to Ecuador's home stadium of South American hell, the Atahualpa Football Stadium at an altitude of 800 meters.This is destined to be the most difficult battle that must be crossed in front of their way to the World Cup.

"Before the start of the game, we may have to tell you a very regrettable news. Lei Yi, a talented young man who made outstanding achievements in the Chinese team's home game against Uzbekistan, contributed three shots and one pass. Not in the starting list for this game. Since the Chinese team has been conducting closed training after arriving in Quito, we still don’t know the reason why Mr. Andrik failed to let this name go Such an amazing young player is in the starting lineup."

When the broadcast signal of the game was cut in, the camera lens gave a long shot of the Atahualpa football stadium from far to near.This stadium does not have a huge roof, and it is not one of those five-star luxury stadiums around the world.But this is a professional football stadium, and the design of the stadium is not too high, so that people can see the scenery of Ecuador's capital city outside the stadium at a glance.

Among them, the most eye-catching thing is obviously that only high-altitude areas can have, the light-colored blue sky, and the huge mountain not far away that seems to be the beautiful background of the stadium.

Soon, the scene of the game was put on the many Ecuadorian home fans in the stadium.In this South American plateau, nearly [-]% of the Atahualpa football stadium is wearing yellow shirts and dark blue shorts.

That is the home jersey of the Ecuador team.

And on the South American continent, which is so far away from the Far East of Asia, many fans wearing red jerseys came to cheer for the Chinese team today.Although these Chinese fans wearing red jerseys seem to be dotted with stars and red dots among the flowers in the Atahualpa football stadium, the home stadium of the Ecuadorian team, but given the distance from Ecuador to the far east and the fact that Chinese people come here The difficulty of the country is so great that it is not easy to be able to do this.

"Before the game starts, I think I must introduce to you what is so special about Ecuador's home stadium, making it the second hell home stadium in South America! Some teams rely on the enthusiasm of their home fans, The power released by the visiting team and the endless ways of cheering for their home team have become the well-known home stadium of hell. And some stadiums have become famous home stadiums of hell overseas because of their natural conditions! The hell stadium ranked second in South America, it is built on a plateau at an altitude of 2800 meters! But I still want to say, I am glad that we met Ecuador this time, not Bolivia. Compared with Ecuador’s 2800 meters above sea level Home in Quito, Bolivia’s home is even more difficult for all visiting teams who come here to fight! In La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, the altitude is even as high as 3577 meters! In recent years, South American teams such as Brazil, Argentina, and Chile There is a record of losing at home in Bolivia!"

The one who said this was another commentator for this game, Rong Naida, who is now the head football commentator of the five sets of the Central Committee.He has a very nice voice and a passion that can be invigorating.What is even more commendable is that every word of his pronunciation is very clear, and his words are correct.And he articulated every sentence he wanted to say very quickly in this piece of words.

Just when the two commentators of this game said this, the players of the two teams had already entered the field.And as the commentator said earlier, the 16-year-old winger Lei Yi, who was born in the last national team match of the Chinese team, was not in the starting 11 team.

He sat on the bench next to the coach's bench, along with 12 other players who made the squad.

Today's weather is very good, and even through the TV broadcast, you can feel how hot the sun is in this South American summer.Lei Yi put the team's training uniform on his head, as if to block the too harsh sunlight.Although the on-site director gave the camera to this South American fan who knows best, the Chinese team player, but under the shadow of the training uniform, people can't see his expression clearly, and they can't guess what he is doing at this moment through the camera. What are you thinking.

Little Garrincha, who was very energetic in the past, became extremely silent before the start of this game.He knows his situation at the moment, and because of this, he has no way to ask the coach to play according to his nature.But even so, he would still be very unwilling in his heart.

Lei Yi is still very young this year. He was only 16 years old when he was young, and he only made his debut in the national team shortly after.And this is the first time that Lei Yi realizes that even though he is very strong, in his opinion, as long as he plays, he can create countless scoring chances on the right side, no matter how strong the opponent is.But football has never been so simple.A victory is far from being so easy to obtain.

In that game, the Chinese team lost to Ecuador 1-3.

It was not until the No. 607 minute of the game that another No. 11 player of the Chinese team was replaced as the head coach's lore weapon.

But in the end, this young and energetic player who didn't know what frustration was failed to create goals or assists on the court.He got nothing in this game, or... the only thing he got was the disappointment of the people who had high expectations for him.
