Chapter 954
On the afternoon of July 23, Kunming Stadium.
In the first round of the second round of the World Cup Asian qualifiers, China played against Laos.
This is the first qualifying match for the Chinese team to impact the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. It can be said to be a good start. It happened to be in late July again. Therefore, although the opponent's strength is not strong, Queiroz still recalled all the international players.
In this game, the Chinese team still played a four-three-three formation. The goalkeeper is Wang Dalei, the defense is Sun Xiang, Feng Xiaoting, Zheng Zhi and Zhang Linpeng, the midfield is Zhou Haibin, and Hao Junmin and Chen Tao are partners. It is Yang Yang, Gao Lin and Wu Lei.
After joining Dortmund, Chen Tao's position was not firm. In order to compete for more playing opportunities, he had to drop his position. Now he looks more like a midfielder. The reason is Klopp I think he lacks speed and punch on the flanks.
Queiroz obviously thinks so too, especially after Wu Lei's outstanding performance in Ajax, he made a decisive adjustment, pulled Chen Tao back to the midfield, partnered with Hao Junmin, pushed Wu Lei out, and reorganized the Trident. .
And let Zhou Haibin play the single midfielder, which also proves Queiroz's determination in this game, that is, to attack with all his strength.
The first shot of the game came from Laos, but it failed to create a threat.
The visiting team's opening attack obviously hopes to disrupt the rhythm of the Chinese team, but the risk is also great, especially when the gap between the strong and the weak is obvious.
In the fourth minute, the Chinese team's frontcourt pressure worked. Chen Tao quickly moved to the right after stealing the ball. The Chinese team quickly instigated a counterattack. Wu Lei made a low pass from the right to the back point. Laos' goal.
Then the Chinese team started a mad attack, constantly creating threats, but it was not until the 30th minute that the Chinese team scored again. After Yang Yang got the ball on the left, after attracting the attention of the defense, he forced Cut in with the ball and pass to the goal with his right foot. Gao Lin followed with a header and scored 2-0.
At the end of the stoppage time in the first half, Zhang Linpeng made a cross from the right.
In the second half, after changing sides and fighting again, in the 51st minute, the Chinese team played a beautiful offensive coordination, and sent a continuous pass to the feet of Gao Lin in the penalty area. than zero.
Two minutes later, the Chinese team played a beautiful match from the right again. Hao Junmin sent a good pass. Chen Tao got rid of the defender and went straight to the bottom line. Wu Lei quickly rushed to the bottom line and knocked back.
Gaolin scored a hat-trick!
In the 72nd minute, Yang Yang and Hao Junmin played an excellent two-to-three consecutive match. After Yang Yang broke into the penalty area, he calmly hit the goal and scored six to zero.
In the 81st minute, Sun Xiang made a cross from the left, Hao Junmin volleyed and scored again, 7-0.
In the 87th minute, Zhang Linpeng made a long pass from the right to the penalty area, Gao Lin headed the ball, and Chen Tao followed up with a tackle and hit, 8-0.
A minute later, Hao Junmin volleyed from the left rib and broke the Lao team's goal again, 9-0.
In the end, with the outstanding performance of the offensive players in the frontcourt, the Chinese team defeated Laos with nine goals.
But after the game, including Yang Yang, many international players and head coach Queiroz have repeatedly said that the opponent is not strong, and this big victory cannot prove anything.
...
On the evening of the 28th, the second round of the match between the two sides was held in Vientiane, Laos.
This time, Queiroz made adjustments to the team’s starting lineup. After the first round had basically been won, he began to arrange a large number of substitute players.
This season, goalkeeper Yan Junling, who just transferred to Ajax in the Eredivisie, got the starting lineup. Players such as Wu Xi, Cui Peng, Zhang Chengdong, Zhang Xizhe, Zhao Xuri and other players all appeared in the starting lineup.
After several years of development, the Chinese team studying abroad has become even larger. Although there is a precedent for Sun Xiang to return to China, there has been a wave of Chinese players studying abroad, and many players even prefer to play in low-level leagues abroad. I don't want to go back home easily.
For example, the center defender Mei Fang, who was recruited by Queiroz to the national team for the first time this time, also started this game, partnering with Du Wei as the center defender.
Mei Fang studied abroad in Strasbourg in the Ligue 2 League in 2008, and then went to the Brugge youth team in Brugge for a trial training, which was recognized. He was only 18 years old at the time.
Influenced by Chen Tao's outstanding performance in Anderlecht, Bruges was also very accepting of Chinese players, so Mei Fang got the opportunity to stay in Bruges, and the central defender started his own European career. Overseas trip.
Excellent sense of position, strong defensive ability, cool-headed, fast, good overall situation and reading ability, and a certain long pass ability, these are Mei Fang's advantages.
But Bruges is a well-known strong team in Belgium and a frequent visitor to Belgium's European competition. The competition within the team is extraordinary. Mei Fang is not well-known in China, and it is not easy to make a name for himself in a team like Bruges. From 2008 to 2010, all of them were in the youth team.
It was not until the second half of last season that the Brugge first team had a defensive crisis. Mei Fang seized the opportunity and rushed into the first team in one fell swoop, and began to gain opportunities and gradually gain a firm foothold. Still facing fierce competition.
Yang Yang recognized Mei Fang when he joined the team. Although he was not familiar with Mei Fang before, he played football in Europe. Naturally, he had heard about Mei Fang and asked about him with concern. , At that time, Mei Fang had a sentence that touched him quite a bit.
"There is still a big gap between me and the players of the first team in Brugge, but I will not give up easily. Even if I really can't gain a firm foothold in Brugge, I will definitely continue to strive to stay in Europe for training. "
Yang Yang is very sure of Mei Fang's idea, and promises that he will help him as much as he can, and at the same time encourage him.
Bruges is a frequent visitor to the European war, and its overall strength is also the best in Belgium. Looking at European football, they are also very strong teams. If you can't play in such a team, it doesn't mean you can't play in other teams. Chance.
"Competitive sports are all about being strong and winning. No matter how strong an opponent is, a team must have the courage to fight to the death. No matter how difficult the environment is, a player must continue to improve himself, as long as he continues to challenge and make breakthroughs. You will be successful in the end.”
Yang Yang's words of encouragement to Mei Fang were also unanimously recognized by the teammates of the national team. All players who have studied abroad know that it is very, very difficult for Chinese players to succeed in the Europa League. It takes unimaginable hard work.
In the whole process, as long as there is a slight slack, it will be thrown down immediately.
Subsequently, the Chinese team defeated Laos 7-0 in Vientiane. Deng Zhuoxiang and Yu Han Dynasty both scored twice. Mei Fang also took advantage of a corner kick to score the first national team goal in his career. .
…………
…………
The Chinese team defeated Laos with a total score of 16-0 in two rounds and successfully reached the top 20. Queiroz's team showed strong offensive firepower, especially in the second round, which was still without Yang Yang, Gao Lin, Chen Tao and Wu Lei and other international players who have studied abroad have obtained it, which proves Queiroz's ability to tune in this aspect.
The domestic media also praised it unanimously, firmly believing that this time the national team will still be able to rush into the World Cup in Brazil, and even have the opportunity to go further and show better performance in the World Cup in Brazil.
In the subsequent draw for the top 20, the Chinese team was also lucky, drawing Iraq, Jordan and Singapore.
The domestic public opinion was once again in an uproar. The media and fans congratulated this time by drawing lots. They believed that the Chinese team had basically entered the top ten ahead of schedule, and with the world's top superstar like Yang Yang, it would not be a problem for the Chinese team to rush into the World Cup again. Public opinion began to become a little overly optimistic, even arrogant.
After playing in Laos, the other international players who studied abroad have left the national team and returned to the club to report that a warm-up match against Jamaica on August 10 will basically consist of domestic players. Only Yang Yang remains in the country, waiting to join Real Madrid.
After the results of the lottery came out, Yang Yang repeatedly warned everyone not to repeat the same mistakes when he was interviewed by domestic authoritative media.
"I think we should not be overly optimistic at this stage, of course, we should be confident that we have the strength to enter the World Cup, but we should not underestimate each of our opponents too much, we need to pay attention to every game, every opponent, That's how I can get to the top 10 and get to the World Cup in Brazil."
Yang Yang also mentioned Queiroz. He said that Queiroz’s coaching time is not short, and the transformation of the national team has been very successful. This time he played in Laos, and he clearly felt the changes in the national team. He firmly believes that coaching in Queiroz The overall strength of the Chinese team can be further improved.
In addition, Yang Yang also affirmed Queiroz's achievements in promoting young players, because there have been many young players in this national team, and Queiroz is also bold to reuse.
It's like Wu Lei, who is still young, but in the World Cup in Brazil in three years, he should be able to play for teams in the four major leagues, and he will definitely be able to provide huge help to the team.
National team coach Queiroz also affirmed Yang Yang's remarks, saying that everyone must have a clear enough understanding, and he himself firmly believes that he can lead the Chinese team to the Brazil World Cup.
...
When Yang Yang was in the national team, Real Madrid returned to Europe from the United States and played a warm-up match with the Bundesliga team Hertha Berlin in Berlin, Germany. With Ibrahimovic's brace, it was three to one. Reversed Hertha Berlin.
Then Real Madrid challenged Leicester City in the British Championship. Ibrahimovic made a pass and shot to help the team beat Leicester City 2-1.
Since then, Real Madrid has played a total of five warm-up games and maintained a record of complete victories. Ancelotti's coaching has been very smooth, especially the scenes presented in these five warm-up games, let people see Ancelotti The transformation of this Real Madrid.
After playing Leicester City, Real Madrid immediately set off and took a special plane to China.
Yang Yang also immediately flew from his home in Beijing to Guangzhou to join the team.
At this time, Real Madrid's transfer of Neymar has also made the latest progress.
