The Green Superstar

Chapter 202: National Football Mirror

Just entering June, Tang Hong returned to China to participate in the national team training.

After coming to the Xianghe National Football Training Base to meet the teammates of the national team, everyone congratulated Tang Hong on the honor he won in European football and his transfer to Manchester United.

In the eyes of others, it is a glorious thing to transfer to Manchester United. It seems to be a shining ancestor, but Tang Hong did not have this consciousness. He went to Manchester United not for the light of water, but comprehensive consideration of his career development. It would be better to go to Manchester United. Make yourself stronger!

The European and Asian leagues have different time spans. Most European seasons start in late summer and end in early summer the following year. Most Asian seasons start in spring and end in autumn and do not end in the new year.

Therefore, like Tang Hong, Qin Rui, Wu Lei, as well as Luo Hongkai, who followed Celta’s strong performance at the end of the season and directly promoted to La Liga, and Zhao Hanchun, who lost in the Eredivisie promotion playoffs. They actually entered the holiday when they returned to China.

The other international players are still in the Super League.

The national team's training has attracted much attention. For one thing, several overseas players have performed well in European football. The popularity and attention brought by Tang Hong is even more the topic of daily football.

Secondly, with the start of the top ten, whether the Chinese team can enter the 2014 World Cup has also come to a critical stage.

On the morning of the first day of the training camp, Van der Hill took the coaching team to meet with the players. Compared with the more relaxed training atmosphere before, Van der Hill performed very harshly today.

He first explained to the players the changes in the Chinese team's technical and tactical play, and then looked at the effect through group training.

He put forward new demands on the team!

Everyone must run continuously in the game, and the formation quickly disperses when attacking. Even if the midfielders are not involved in the frontcourt attack, they must be the support point in the backcourt.

The requirements for the two full-backs are even higher. When attacking, you must return to the defense at full speed.

The second requirement is to pass the ball accurately, get rid of blindly throwing the ball and indecision, even if it is just a meaningless short pass, as long as you see that your teammates have room to respond safely, then you must pass the ball decisively. !

As for offensive creativity, it must be concentrated on a few players.

The third point is toughness in defense, which is based on running!

Van der Hill's tactical adjustments and requirements may make some players feel unsatisfied.

Tang Hong can tell from the expressions and reactions of some of his teammates, and he can even imagine what they are thinking: What is so troublesome for? Just pass the ball to the frontcourt player!

Yes, the Chinese media has blown up the current frontline of the Chinese team!

The lead is naturally the Portuguese Premier League single-season legendary record-maker and Europa League best scorer Tang Hong, followed by Bundesliga second best scorer Qin Rui, and then there is a good performance in Portuguese Super League Gvicente Wu Lei.

With this trident, the Chinese striker can be the strongest in Asia in the past decade!

This is the favorite headline of the Chinese media over the past few days, and it is also a word on the lips of many commentators.

But football is not a sport for a few people after all. There is indeed a difference in ability in a team, but if other people don’t work hard to close this gap, wouldn’t it reduce the overall strength of the team?

It is a burden to say something bad!

After taking office, Van der Hill has actually abandoned a large number of national footballs that were once familiar to Chinese fans. This makes the current national football team, especially the local international footballer, have to bow their heads under the roof.

The captain has also become Tang Hong. As for Tang Hong, he has not fulfilled the responsibility of taking care of his teammates as a captain.

At least the team atmosphere in the past, even though there were factions, was still peaceful on the surface.

Tang Hong, the captain, didn't seem to be half-conscious to form gangs, neither alienating anyone nor supporting anyone.

Anyway, he will play with all his heart.

Football is often the epitome of society. Therefore, the humanization phenomenon of Chinese society is also forgiven for being reflected on the football field compared to Europe, which is straight going. It is just that Tang Hong has no energy to do these things and feels that it is of little significance.

Moreover, for some teammates, he really doesn't look down on it in his heart.

Keep a little face and say that they have passed their peak period and there is not much room for improvement.

If they don’t show mercy, then they are just messing around. They don’t need to talk about their football dreams, nor can they be professional or unprofessional in the national team. After all, the national team does not pay them.

Tang Hong is now the most famous in the team, and Wu Lei and Qin Rui are in the back row, which will relieve many teammates from the pressure of external public opinion.

Will this make them perform better and be more motivated?

Not necessarily!

It can only be said that it will make some people who mess around more comfortable to mix.

The team performed well and mixed well.

The team's performance is not good. Naturally, some people will be the champions, and they will not be too confused.

Van der Hill's move is pretty good now, at least it is a magic mirror.

After a week of preparations, the national football team went to an away game to challenge Jordan.

In the previous group stage, the Chinese team played against Jordan, and now the top ten matches are divided into the same group.

On the night of the match day, Jordan's home attendance was average, but many Chinese fans occupied a stand to cheer for the Chinese team.

Van der Hill waited for the start of the game with arms around his chest. He wanted to see how the team performed after a few days of preparation.

The Chinese team sent their current strongest lineup here without any reservations.

Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng.

Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Dai Lin, Feng Xiaoting, Sun Xiang.

Midfielder: Zhao Xupi, Luo Hongkai, Zheng Zhi.

Forwards: Wu Lei, Qin Rui, Tang Hong.

Jordan's lineup has not changed much from last year's match.

The strength of the Chinese team is definitely better, Jordan has home court advantage and may be able to narrow the gap.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially started.

The Jordan team lost the game when they faced the Chinese team last time. Even though they had already advanced to the top ten at that time, they were susceptible to relax, but the current Chinese team should not be taken lightly.

They took the initiative to control the rhythm after the opening game. The Chinese team's striker made a crazy counter-grab from a slightly forward position in the middle circle. Tang Hong, Qin Rui and Wu Lei's harassment forced the Jordan team to attack the Chinese team in the half.

The tempo of the game increased immediately.

When the Jordan team attacked the Chinese team halftime, the scene became a bit ugly.

The Chinese team is actively running but always fouls when defending, which makes Van der Hill frown like constipation on the sidelines.

I don't know if he has a problem with his expression or the Chinese player has a problem with his understanding.

Are fierce pressing and fouling the same concept?

But at least the attitude of the players was taken out, but a little tired.

Tang Hong is still assisting Luo Hongkai in the offensive organization in the frontcourt. He wants to wait for his teammates to send him a wonderful pass directly at the forefront of the strike, but he will recognize the reality and come back honestly to improve after staying in the first 5 minutes without seeing any movement. The offensive organization efficiency of the Chinese team.

After all, the Chinese team does not have Barbosa, and Viana is a player who can pass the ball and dare not penetrate the defense, but at the very least, it can also allow Tang Hong to respond in a favorable position.

The Jordan team is neither stupid nor blind, and of course it will seal Tang Hong strictly.

This makes it more difficult for Tang Hong to receive the pass of his teammates in the frontcourt, which is more like the offensive formation of the Chinese team being cut by the opponent's defense.

After Tang Hong took the initiative to retreat to organize the offensive, the Chinese team's offense began to gradually exert force.

Jordan also did not expect the Chinese team to have a new posture today, especially the players in the midfield and the backcourt are like chicken blood. Their players have difficulty controlling the ball after halftime, and there is no room for connection.

Zhao Xujiao, Zheng Zhi and Luo Hongkai's trio swept back and forth, and the wing contraction during partial defense made the Jordan team's offense unable to pass halftime!

At least from this point of view, the changes in the Chinese team are still very significant.

During the offensive, Tang Hong was able to make short passes with Sun Xiang behind the side, and Zheng Zhi and Luo Hongkai behind the side also improved the quality of the organization.

Tang Hong and Luo Hongkai frequently delivered shells to the front field. Wu Lei and Qin Rui either rushed individually or made a simple cooperation in front of the opponent's penalty area. The success rate was not bad, but the shot was still a little worse.

Seeing that just after 30 minutes of the match, the Chinese team made continuous shooting threats in the frontcourt. Wu Lei and Qin Rui seemed to be a little out of state. They didn't just go to the opponent's goalkeeper to shoot the goal directly to the sky.

The Jordan team did not expect to be suppressed by the Chinese team at home, obviously caught off guard and could only passively shrink the defense.

In the 38th minute of the game, Luo Hongkai sent the ball straight to the right of the penalty area.

Wu Lei quickly cut in and kicked the ball back and knocked the ball across the middle.

Qin Rui responded with his back, originally intending to pull the ball and turn around to shoot, but saw Tang Hong rush to cut inward, so he knocked the ball back.

Tang Hong stopped the ball in a rush and cut, and then suddenly stopped and dialed the ball to the defensive player in front of him. Then he blasted a volley with his right foot!

The football flies straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

The Jordan goalkeeper didn't even make a save. He just stood in front of the goal line and turned his head mechanically to look at the dead corner of the goal, watching the football fly into the goal!

Don’t look at him for a long time, but the Chinese team’s shot rushed to him, so he really didn’t need to save!

Tang Hong breathed a sigh of relief when he broke the goal, but fortunately he scored. If he doesn't make it, it is estimated that the mentality of these forwards will become a little anxious.

Tang Hong did not rush to the sidelines, but high-five with his surrounding teammates to celebrate.

Teammates in the backcourt also ran to enjoy the joy of leading.

Van der Hill clapped his hands and applauded on the sidelines. Although the team's performance can still clearly show that there are problems, the lead is the most able to temporarily cover up the problem.

At the same time, he also saw that the change of the Chinese team is positive, even if it is not as good as expected, it is a good sign after all.

The first half of the game ended soon, and the two teams returned to the locker room to take a break to prepare for the second half of the game.
