Midfielder Ruler

Remember【】in a second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.

River Plate's results in the three warm-up games before the season were not bad, with one win and two draws, which was a little bit worse than that of arch-rival Boca Juniors.

But the media did not criticize too much. After all, the purpose of the warm-up match before the season is purely to inspect and evaluate the players' competitive state, and there is no need to show 100% strength to fight.

However, some media began to speculate whether Simeone should take some action against players who did not have many opportunities to play.

Indeed, in the three warm-up matches before the season, Simeone had roughly determined the 23- to 25-man roster for the first team.

The rest will be handled by the club.

At this time, the football group match of the BJ Olympic Games has already begun.

The eight matches in the four groups were all played on the day before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, starting at 5:00 pm and 7:45 pm.

The two games in Group C of the Chinese Olympic team were held at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center. At five o'clock was the focus of the match between Brazil and Belgium, and at seven forty-five was the Chinese Olympic team and the New Zealand Olympic team.

The arrangement on the schedule is quite favorable for the Chinese team. They will first face New Zealand, which is the weakest in the group, then the Belgian Olympic team, and finally the Brazilian Olympic team, one of the biggest favorites to win the championship.

7:45 p.m. BJ time is equivalent to 6:45 a.m. the next morning in Argentina. It is no different from the usual work and rest time, except that Tang Zheng may not be able to watch the whole game, because the training time of the first team is 9:00 a.m. At this point, regardless of the distance and the time spent in the locker room, he has to go out at least at eight o'clock in the morning.

While Tang Zheng was in a deep sleep, during the regular press conference before the first group match of the Olympic Games thousands of miles away, some reporters mentioned Tang Zheng again, they were worried about the hardness of the midfielder's defense.

In this regard, whether it is the Olympic press officer or the head coach Dujkovic, they all selectively ignore it, and they spend their time on the team's spiritual sustenance.

New Zealand, the weakest team in the first game, can be said to have the right time, place and people. If they can't win against their opponents, they will be struck by lightning.

Tang Zheng got up at 6:30 in the morning, after washing up, the game just started.

The game went very well for the Chinese Olympic team. They almost broke the situation in the first three minutes. The overage player Han Peng jumped high from Hao Junmin's free kick from the right.

It is a pity that the header hit the crossbar and missed the first goal of Chinese football in Olympic history.

With the passage of time, the Chinese Olympic team gradually controlled the rhythm of the game under the cheers of the home fans.

"Zheng Zhi really has two brushes!"

Tang Zheng looked at Zheng Zhi, who was studying abroad in Charlton, controlling the rhythm of the game very well, and nodded, but in fact, if he played against Zheng Zhi, he had great confidence that he could freeze Zheng Zhi.

The Chinese Olympic team, which controlled the rhythm of the game, expanded its advantage in the 32nd minute of the game. New Zealand's No. 12 defender Alder intentionally fouled the handball under Gao Lin's high-pressure press. He showed his second yellow card in the game and was sent off!

"Beautiful!" Even Tang Zheng, who was far away in Buenos Aires, was shouting for the partial advantage that the Chinese Olympic team had gained!

But what is unexpected is that the Chinese Olympic team, which has the advantage of numbers on the field, will suffer a fatal blow. Two minutes later, the Chinese Olympic team, which is aggressively pressing, failed to offside and was beaten offside by the New Zealand Olympic team striker Broki. Score a goal and take the lead!

This result was unexpected by everyone, even Tang Zheng was a little caught off guard.

Suddenly, he had an ominous premonition!

The New Zealand Olympic team is not so easy to win!

I don't know if Tang Zheng's premonition was particularly accurate. The Chinese Olympic team hadn't evened the score until Tang Zheng went out at 8:30...

※※※

"Oh-Yeah!!"

Tang Zheng, who was changing shoes in the locker room of the first team, suddenly shouted!

"Don, what are you doing?"

Captain Ortega, who was changing his training clothes, glanced at Tang Zheng with displeasure.

"Uh." Tang Zheng said embarrassingly: "Our Olympic team tied the score before the end of the second half! So... so excited!"

"By the way, the Olympic football match has begun!"

After changing his clothes, Ahumada, the team deputy, suddenly remembered.

The Olympic football match is not very important in many football powers, but Argentina is different. They won many gold points in the Olympic Games. Ortega, who has participated in the Olympic football match, can empathize with Tang Zheng, so he asked: " The opponent is?"

"new Zealand."

"New Zealand?" Ortega shook his head.

"Oh my god, are you guys struggling so much against New Zealand?" Team deputy Ahumada said incredulously, but when he saw Tang Zheng's embarrassing expression, he quickly explained: "Hey, Tang, I didn't mean that, I'm actually curious. Why didn't the Chinese Olympic team call you? Diego Jr. has entered the Argentine Olympic team..."

Tang Zheng smiled wryly: "Maybe they are stronger than me."

Falcao and Sanchez patted Tang Zheng's shoulder respectively to show comfort.

Tang Zheng had told them about the situation of the Chinese Olympic team in the past, so they knew better than other teammates.

When the match ended, Tang Zheng sighed.

The Chinese Olympic team eventually drew 1:1 at home with the New Zealand Olympic team, which was the weakest in the group, with a great advantage, which cast a shadow over their future routes. The Belgian Olympic team And the Brazilian Olympic team are top teams...

A little-known New Zealand Olympic team can make the Chinese Olympic team suffer, not to mention the European runner-up Belgium and the South American champion Brazil?

Sure enough, the Chinese Olympic team lost 0:2 to the European runner-up Belgium in the second round of the group stage.

In this game, Tan Wangsong first kicked the opponent's crotch in the seventh minute of the second half and was sent off with a direct red card. Nine minutes later, Zheng Zhi intentionally elbowed his opponent during the fight and was sentenced to death by the referee and received a red card.

Coupled with the main left back Fan Weiwei and central defender Feng Xiaoting who have accumulated yellow cards and suspensions, facing the strongest Brazilian Olympic team in the group, anyone with a little knowledge of football knows... The Chinese Olympic team is finished.

So after the game, huge boos broke out in the sky above the SY Olympic Sports Center, and countless fans chanted 'Xie Yalong dismissed get out of class'.

The press conference after the game became the place where the domestic media bombarded the Football Association. The core issues of newspapers such as "Sports Weekly", "Football News" and "GZ Daily" all focused on the employment of the Olympic team. The National Olympic team wanted to call Tang Zheng into the team, but unfortunately the Football Association did not listen to the suggestion, and just refused on the grounds of stability in playing and stereotyped tactics.

But the facts speak louder than words. The three goals conceded by the Chinese Olympic team all came from the opponent's penetration and passing in the middle. That is to say, the Chinese Olympic team's defense in the middle is extremely poor. If so, with his excellent game reading ability and running ability, he will definitely be able to delay the opponent's attack most effectively, and even use his precise long pass to increase the success rate of the Olympic team's counterattack.

Now the two battles have one draw and one loss. Although there is no direct death penalty, anyone with a little common sense knows that it is impossible for the Chinese Olympic team to defeat the prosperous Brazilian Olympic team.

What's more, the Chinese Olympic team will miss the four main players in the final round?

※※※

The Chinese Olympic team, which is on the verge of being eliminated, has become a major feature of the local Olympic Games. When all the sports are advancing at the same time, only the Chinese Olympic team is holding back, which has aroused many foreign media and fans.

At this time, Tang Zheng, who was far away in Argentina, was preparing for the first match of the 2008-2009 season A League Spring League, and they challenged Sporting Cologne away.

With the goals of Falcao and Cabral, River Plate defeated the home team Sporting Cologne 2:0 in the away game, ranking third with a goal difference disadvantage.

In the second round of the league, River Plate played at home against Rosario Central, but before that, Tang Zheng was most concerned about the Chinese Olympic team's final round against the Brazilian Olympic team.

As a Chinese, Tang Zheng still had some illusions. Maybe the Chinese Olympic team would win the Brazilian Olympic team in the final round, while the Belgian Olympic team narrowly lost to the New Zealand Olympic team. Advantages to qualify for promotion.

But fantasies are always fantasies and cannot be put on the table.

There are not so many miracles in the world. The Chinese Olympic team defeated the Brazilian Olympic team led by Ronaldinho 0:3.

Tang Zheng couldn't understand the process of the game. Dujkovic actually let the forward Han Peng play the central defender and Hao Junmin play the full back, which is extremely ridiculous.

The Chinese Olympic team had three games in the group, without a win, and only scored one goal. They ranked third in the group with the advantage of goal difference and were eliminated.

The most angry are undoubtedly the lovely fans who love Chinese football deeply. They have always treated Chinese football like their first love, but they are hurt by Chinese football time and time again.

Tang Zheng, who once witnessed the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, conceded one goal and conceded nine goals, can deeply understand the feelings of those fans at this time.

...

Since the Olympic team drew with the New Zealand Olympic team, "Xie Yalong stepped down" has become the most mentioned sentence by Chinese fans.

In the following two group matches at the SY Olympic Sports Center, there were very few cheers from the stands, and more shouts of 'Xie Yalong step down'!

The on-site director was also very good at finding faults. He gave Xie Yalong a close-up of his face while the stands exploded with great momentum.

When Tang Zheng was preparing for the second round of the league match against Rosario Central at home, domestic fans were building momentum all the time, hoping that Xie Yalong would step down.

Since Xie Yalong came to power in 2005, he has not made any contribution to Chinese football. Instead, it has led to a sharp decline in the strength of Chinese men's and women's football.

Now that the gamble of the Olympic Games has also been declared shattered, coupled with the defeat in the Asian Top 20 of the World Cup in South Africa at the beginning of the year, Xie Yalong is now undoubtedly a street rat in the eyes of fans.

To put it in a popular sentence-Chinese football has been played badly.
