Behind the East Asia team's bus was Xu Genbao's car.

In fact, the naming rights of the East Asian team have now been changed to Shanghai SIPG, but the final acquisition has not been completed. However, it is undeniable that they have the same roots, even for Shenhua. For the veteran coach Xu Genbao, although

Shenhua and East Asia belong to different camps, but their palms and backs are full of flesh. However, today against the Hong Kong team, the two sides formed the Shanghai-Shanghai Alliance, but it was rare for them to come together.

"Hey, Li Zhao, it turns out you came to Shenhua!" But it was Wu Lei who discovered Li Zhao first.

"Brother, aren't we fighting together today, so there's no need to tell whether it's Shenhua or East Asia. Besides, strictly speaking, I don't count both sides now," Li Zhao said.

"That's right. Junior brother, although the coach has put you on the list of substitutes for today's game, I'm afraid you have to be prepared to be the audience!" Wu Lei said.

"How do you say that?" Li Zhao also asked curiously.

"You should have heard of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Football Club Cup. This event is held every year. In terms of record, our Shanghai team has been winning more and losing less in recent years. On the 5th of this month

and No. 8, for this year's game. If I hadn't flown to watch your World Youth Championship, I would probably have participated. However, in the end, our Shanghai team still passed the test. Today's game was also temporarily added.

It’s a friendly match, but I don’t think the difference is too big. If everything goes well and we take the lead early, it may not mean much for you to play again,” Wu Lei said.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. Everything depends on the circumstances. It's best if you can get there, but it doesn't matter if you can't get there. After all, it's just a friendly match. For me, it means more to me to take this opportunity to communicate with my colleagues.

Some." Li Zhao said.

"You are right." Wu Lei also admitted this, and continued: "This time the head coach of the Shanghai team has chosen the experienced Cheng Yaodong. If he leads the team, victory is still guaranteed, but

For our East Asian team, the relationship with him is a little distant. By the way, let’s take a look at the lineup for this time. This is the key point.”

All the personnel were finally assembled, and Cheng Yaodong, as the head coach, announced the lineup.

According to the list, Li Zhao, Wang Ziyi and Dana have all been placed on the substitute list, and since it is a friendly match, there are as many as 25 people on the list this time. Excluding these three, Shenhua happens to be

and East Asia each have a roster of 11 players on the field.

After a while, people from Hong Kong also arrived. Compared with the Shanghai-Hong Kong Cup not long ago, there were some personnel adjustments in their team this time, and a few new faces appeared.

"I feel like things may not be that simple this time. The new faces on the other side seem to be foreign aids. They all look tall and big, and they seem difficult to deal with." Liu Jundao.

"Okay, I've asked about it. This time the Hong Kong team is composed of two teams, Nanhua and Kitchee. Nanhua was the Hong Kong Super League champion last year, and Kitchee is this year's league champion. And Hong Kong and us

It's different here. Some foreigners are naturalized, so the actual number of foreigners on the field is much larger." Fan Zhiyi came over at this time and said.

"It's rare, General!" Liu Jun said.

"You are quite good at being a hands-off shopkeeper. If you can't teach your disciples, leave them to me, and then run away." Fan Zhiyi said.

"Don't take advantage of it and act well. Those team members are all very good. If I didn't have other tasks later, you think I would be happy to give it to you. Now that the results have been achieved, it is all your credit.

"Liu Jundao.

Seeing that the two masters were arguing and it was getting more and more intense, Li Zhao also hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Two masters, please stop arguing. You both have merit."

"Xiao Zhao, what are you doing? We were just joking." Liu Jun said.

"Yes, we often argue like this, it's okay." Fan Zhiyi immediately changed his face and said with a smile.

Li Zhao naturally knew their situation, but he had to put on a show. After Xu Genbao arrived in front of the team members, everyone sat down one by one. It was only then that Li Zhao found Wang Ziyi.

"Today's game is over. You can follow me for the time being. There is something I need you to participate in. I will say hello to Mr. Xu," Li Zhao said.

"Okay, Brother Zhao." Wang Ziyi agreed.

At 2:30, the friendly match officially started, and Li Zhao and the others also sat on the bench on the sidelines. Interestingly, the players from Shenhua and East Asia were somewhat distinct, occupying both sides of the seats.

, but the three of them, Li Zhao, accidentally became the buffer in the middle zone.

The foreign players of the Hong Kong team this time are still slightly better in terms of overall offense and defense. In contrast, although the foreign players of the Shanghai team are good in personal ability, they are mainly concentrated on the front line. They do not have a strong midfielder to transport artillery shells, and their firepower is also poor.

It will be affected accordingly. Of course, both sides are evenly matched in terms of coordination. Since they are both combined teams, it is difficult to solve this aspect. We can only look at their respective performances.

Judging from the scene, the Shanghai team did not have an advantage. Since the opponent's planners only occupied two places, six of the eleven players on the field were of European and American origin, and one was Japanese.

Players, actually only one-third are Chinese. The Shanghai team naturally has foreign players, but there are only four of them, and they are basically from Shenhua. In this regard, the Shanghai team is obviously at a disadvantage.

.

However, without exception, most of these outsiders occupied the midfield and frontcourt positions, which made Li Zhaoye shake his head in his heart.

"Brother Lei, the total number of foreigners on both sides in this game actually accounts for half. The offense is handed over to them. What else can our players do? If the league is like this, how can our players get enough training?

Here!" Li Zhao whispered.

"No, so the gap will get bigger and bigger in the future, but this is the general trend and there is nothing we can do about it," Wu Lei responded.

In the first thirty minutes of the game, the situation between the two sides was relatively stable. Although there were offenses and defenses, overall they did not pose much of a threat to the opponent's goal, so the game seemed a bit dull, but this silence

It was broken after thirty minutes.

In the 32nd minute, perhaps due to a problem with the defense coordination between the East Asian team and Shenhua, a very big loophole appeared. As a result, the ball was intercepted directly in the backcourt by the opponent. The opponent's Dutch forward obviously would not miss this.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he accelerated again after taking advantage of his physical advantage to beat Wang Shenchao, and took off before Bai Jiajun blocked the ball, breaking through the goalkeeper Wang Dalei's fingers.

0-1, Hong Kong team took the lead to score.

Perhaps feeling the loopholes in this arrangement, head coach Cheng Yaodong made substitution arrangements. Dai Lin replaced Wang Shenchao, who suffered a disadvantage in physical confrontation, and Cai Huikang replaced Wang Shouting. This became

The defense is all made up of players from Shenhua, while the midfield is mainly made up of players from East Asia. The only exception is Cao Yunding, but he is originally from East Asia, so there is no problem with coordination.

The coach's idea was good, but after such adjustments, the situation did not improve significantly, and the Hong Kong team also made substitutions. Relatively speaking, the substitution quota for the friendly match was still very generous. In the end,
Chapter completed!
