In both warm-up matches, the Chinese team placed home in Xi'an.

The opponent in the first warm-up match was Venezuela, and the opponent in the second warm-up match was Slovenia.

During the first warm-up match, Gao Hongbo sent the strongest lineup he could.

Zhou Yi, Sun Pan, He Ying, Yang Muge and Guo Nu all started.

In addition, Yan Min also won the starter.

The Chinese team, which attacked with the strongest lineup, was very proactive in facing Venezuela.

Under the instigation of Zhou Yi, the Chinese team continued to play exciting cooperation that made the fans amazing. Even if these cooperations did not score goals, the fans were very willing to buy it.

Of course, if the scene is always big and beautiful but never scores the goal, then such a beautiful scene is meaningless.

The two sides could still hold a stalemate for a while in the first half. In the second half, with the Chinese team's further efforts, they finally broke the deadlock.

In the 54th minute, Zhou Yi assisted He Ying and He Ying scored a low shot, leading the Chinese team.

In the 69th minute, He Ying pulled to the side to make a cross. Yang Muge, who suddenly inserted into the penalty area from the back midfield, jumped up and headed the ball with almost no one to guard it, and pushed the ball into the goal!

The entire Xi'an Zhuque Stadium emitted huge cheers.

This cheer is not only because the Chinese team leads the opponent with two goals, but also because before the two goals lead, the Chinese team has had a long advantage in the field. The current two goals lead is completely transformed by the advantage in the situation.

Such a game, both the result and the process, has inspired Chinese fans - if the Chinese team can maintain this state to participate in the World Cup finals, then it will definitely not be a dream to enter the World Cup finals knockout round!

After leading two goals, Gao Hongbo began to make substitution adjustments.

Because it is a warm-up match, there is no fixed limit on the number of substitutions for three people.

He first replaced Zhou Yi, He Ying and Yang Muge in one breath, and then replaced Guo Nu, allowing more domestic players to play.

After Zhou Yi and Yang Muge left the court, the Chinese team's control in the midfield decreased slightly. At this time, Gao Hongbo also adjusted his tactics and asked the team to change to the defensive counterattack.

Yan Min, who stayed on the court and was not replaced, was entrusted with an important task.

He did not let down the coach's trust and performed very positively.

In the counterattack, as long as the ball is under his feet, he will rush to the Venezuelan defense without hesitation.

Although there was no goal at the end of the game, Venezuela was unable to threaten the goal guarded by Sun Pan.

In the end, both sides ended the warm-up match with a score of 2:0.

The Chinese team defeated South America's sixth-place Venezuela at home.

Four days later, it was still in Xi'an.

The Chinese team welcomed their second warm-up match opponent Slovenia.

At the same time, this game is also the last game of the Chinese national team in 2013 and the final battle.

In this game, Gao Hongbo did not send all the main players.

Unlike the last game, he completely broke the lineup.

The performance of the strongest lineup of the Chinese team has been seen in the last game. Now it should be to give other players more opportunities to exercise.

Because of the change of lineup, the Chinese team did not have the same advantage as in the previous game, but the international players performed well.

Although he did not win the opponent, he did not lose the game.

In the end, the Chinese team tied 0:0 with Slovenia in Xi'an.

Their 2013 game ended with a draw.

After the game, Chinese media gave a "year-end summary" to the Chinese team's 2013 game.

The most worthy of the book is of course the second time in history to win the World Cup finals. And this time is not easier than the last time, because the last World Cup finals were held in Japan and South Korea, and China directly lost two strong opponents in the qualifiers. There has always been a saying that the most important contributor to the Chinese team entering the World Cup finals for the first time was not head coach Milutinovic, but Zhang Jilong, who drew a good draw for the Chinese team in the lottery.

This time, Japan and South Korea participated in the World Cup qualifiers, and the Chinese team was also divided into a group with Japan. There are also opponents like Australia, which are always afraid of in the Chinese team.

Under such circumstances, the Chinese team can still win the right to participate in the World Cup finals two rounds ahead of schedule, which is enough to show the strength of this national team today - some media have already called this national team the strongest Chinese team in history.

In addition to the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team also participated in the East Asian Cup this year. However, the national team participating in the East Asian Cup did not recruit an overseas player, which was equivalent to the second team. Even so, the Chinese team won the second place in the East Asian Cup, with remarkable results.

In the past year, both Chinese players and domestic players have shown good competitive state. This makes Chinese fans very happy.

Now everyone hopes that the Chinese team can maintain this good competitive state until next year's World Cup.

After the two warm-up matches in China, the international players who went abroad left the national team as soon as possible and returned to their respective clubs.

For Dortmund, there is bad news - they are infected with the terrifying FIFA virus!

In the friendly match on the 19th, Germany played against England. Although Germany finally defeated England 1-0, Hummels and Schmelzer were injured in this game.

After the game, Schmelzer will be out of the game for three weeks due to injury, while Hummels will be injured for a longer time!

This is a bolt from the blue for Dortmund. With Subotic being reimbursed for the season, Dortmund's main defense has injured two more generals. In addition, Piszczek, who has not appeared on the injury list, Dortmund's main defense has encountered a "devastating disaster"...

So when Zhou Yi got off the plane and heard his agent Shurtze talk about this, he opened his mouth wide and didn't close for a long time - he really couldn't believe that such a bloody thing would happen to him.

All four main players in a defense line were injured!

After a long time, he came to his senses and smacked his lips and said, "I want me to tell me that Klopp should go to buy the European Lotto, and he will definitely win the first prize!"

Schultzer smiled bitterly and said, "You still have the intention to joke. First think about how you will face Bayern Munich at home..."

Zhou Yi spread his hands: "Isn't this what Klopp should consider?"

When Shulce thought that this was true, he could not refute it, so he had to concentrate on driving.

Zhou Yi lowered his head and took out his cell phone, started to browse the news, and saw what the media said about this on the Internet.

He found that in the online community where Dortmund fans gather, many people cursed the head coach of the German national team, saying that Lov was specifically unable to get along with Dortmund, and some conspiracy theories believed that Lov was secretly helping Bayern Munich.

Dortmund fans are dissatisfied with the national team, but Zhou Yi can understand it.

At the beginning of this season, Gundogan suffered a small injury to his waist in the league. It was not a big problem, and he just needed to rest. As a result, the German national team insisted on recruiting Gundogan into the team and arranged to start. In sharp contrast, the treatment of Bayern Munich players was treated. Gotze and Schweinsteiger were obviously recovered from injury. The national team could not recruit them to participate in the national team competition for the sake of security. Tony Kroos was also allowed to be offended by the national team because he became a father.

In the end, Gundogan was substituted after only 27 minutes of playing in the national team. He never came back from the court. He had been resting since August until now. The news some time ago was that Gundogan had confirmed that he would miss the entire season.

The season just started, and Dortmund lost a general in the midfield. And who caused it at this time?

Many Dortmund fans have pointed their finger at the national team.

If you think about it carefully, Dortmund seems to be inconsistent with the national team in Lovde.

Mark Wagner played well at Dortmund, and a star of hope rose slowly. As a result, he suffered a serious injury like a torn knee ligament in the national team game. After the serious injury, although Mark had performed well, his upward momentum had been completely interrupted. Now he feels that he is still a little bit less than what people expected of him...

Now it's a national team competition again, and two Dortmund players have been lost in one breath. Dortmund fans can't hide their anger and have slammed Loew and the national team online.

Of course, not everyone thinks that the national team should be responsible for this. Dortmund fans scold the national team, so naturally other fans support the national team and speak for Löw.

They think why other clubs have not suffered so many injuries in national team games like Dortmund? The problem is probably not the national team, but Dortmund.

They criticized Klopp's "mad dog" tactical style as the culprit that causes Dortmund's frequent injuries now.

Speaking of Klopp's "mad dog" tactical style, it is actually a joke and summary of the "running flow" that Dortmund insists on over the years. Klopp attaches great importance to the players' running ability. Every year before the season, running is a very important training content. The training intensity is so high that many players who have just joined Dortmund doubt their lives, and life is worse than death.

But it is precisely because of the use of such high-intensity training that Borussia Dortmund has been dominating German football in recent years and even won the Champions League. Their players always run non-stop during the game, using their running to compress the opponent's space and create more opportunities for their own offense.

This tactic is indeed very successful.

But everything has both good and bad sides.

Klopp's emphasis on running football style has indeed brought many honors to the team, but it also made the players feel very tired and increased the occurrence of injuries. Dortmund has encountered an unprecedented wave of injuries this season, and many experts believe that it is inseparable from Klopp's insistence on football style.

Moreover, once Dortmund players are injured, they will be seriously injured and will easily recover in a short period of time. This is also considered to be caused by Klopp's high-intensity training.

Zhou Yi himself is a "beneficiary" of Klopp's football style. Under Klopp, he has been trained from a weak player to a player who can run all over the field. But he also knows that these criticisms make sense.
