Chapter 689: Running a Thousand Miles and Winning Two Wins in a Row
The times create heroes, or does heroes create momentum? People do not have the same views on this. However, it is an indisputable fact that a tiny moment changed the direction of the subsequent rolling wheels.
Why did the glorious Chinese civilization experience depression? When did the seeds of ordinary backwardness sow? Where is the historical turning point from prosperity to decline? Many people are looking for the answer.
Some people believe that the earliest time point was the Battle of Chibi. Because this battle caused the Three Kingdoms to stand up, the Central Plains dynasty was no longer able to suppress the nomadic peoples in the north, so the "Five Barbarians Invasion of China" that affected the following thousand years.
Some people believe that the turning point was the Ming Dynasty's "Zhang Juzheng One Whip Method", and American historian Huang Renyu even believed that it was even later. The 15th year of Wanli was the turning point of Chinese history.
Some people also blamed the reform of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi. Without the chaos of the reform, there would be no subsequent party struggles and no subsequent shame of Jingkang.
Many people believe that the starting point of Chinese agricultural civilization from its peak began to slow down was when Zhang Jiuling was dismissed in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. Because it was Zhang Jiuling who strictly controlled the governors of each border town, who was demoted, his successor Li Linfu seemed to be under pressure.
The border town policy that actually despises made An Lushan, who had ulterior motives, lose his head. After the strength was full, it eventually led to the "Anshi Rebellion". After that, the peak glory of Chinese civilization was gone forever.
An Lushan had no surname An, and he was not a Han person. He was originally the "Kang" among the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and the nine surnames of Zhaowu were the nine major clans of the Sogdians.
During the Tang Dynasty, there was a country called Sogdian east of the Pamir Mountains. People there were good at singing and dancing. Because they admired the beauty of the Tang Dynasty, many Sogdians came to the Tang Dynasty and brought grapes to Chang'an City.
Fine wine and Hu Xuanwu, as well as Hu Ji who was smiling in the wine shops everywhere.
Thousands of years have passed, and the Sogdians disappeared from history in the fusion of nations, cultures and religions. Now the Pamir is called Pamir, and the West Sea has also been changed to the name of the Caspian Sea, which is the largest sea-track lake in the world.
.And the former Sogdian homeland between them is Uzbekistan.
Samarkand is still there, but it is no longer the largest city in Central Asia. Now the capital of Uzbek is in Tashkent, 300 kilometers northwest of Samarkand.
Zhuo Yang wanted to find some interesting historical footprints in Tashkent, but was disappointed to find nothing. Compared with China, the countries here are very small. Less than 500 kilometers northwest of Tashkent, it is a small city in Kyrgyzstan.
Tokmak. More than a thousand years ago, it was an important town in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, its name was "Saiye", the birthplace of the poet Li Bai when he was Saiye.
Zhuo Yang estimated that he would never be able to go to the small village of Tokmak with a population of less than 60,000 in his life, so he pretended to be in Tashkent to reminisce about the glory of the Tang Dynasty. He could be in this gray city
The city is so comfortable and pretentious because the competition is really not difficult.
The top ten matches were two points and five teams, with a total of eight games for each team. Now that the five rounds have been halfway through the schedule, Uzbek has only won one draw, conceded 5 goals and scored one goal to steadily steadily bottom in Group A.
Such a bleak record has already blew the team's spirit. In addition, last year's Asian footballer Jeparov and former Blade Runner Shatskih were absent due to injury, Uzbek even last November
Guangzhou lost to the Chinese team 0:3.
In the Cotton Ground Stadium, although the Chinese team only won 1:0, Zhuo Yang, Shao Jiayi and Zheng Zhi firmly ruled the midfield, and the offense and defense rhythm was completely in the hands of the Chinese team. Although there were many hard injuries in the lineup. , but compared with the beginning of the top ten games, the overall strength of the Chinese team has made great progress, and the team has gradually become more and more advanced under the guidance of Jieshuai.
It became natural for the Chinese team to completely suppress Uzbek on the road. The reason why there are not many goals is that the forward line is weak in its direct attack power, and Zhuo Yang also followed Rijkaard's instructions and focused his main energy on it. In the midfield operation, it would be great to win such a game, and it would not make much sense to score more goals.
The midfield is the basis of the strength of the Chinese team and the only advantage that can compete with Japan and Australia. Instead of making up for the weak points with twice the result, it is better to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses and hone the midfield to the extreme.
In Jieshuai's 3-6-1 formation, only Li Weifeng in the back line may become the main force, and the other two are still in rotation to investigate. The four of midfielders Zhuo Yang, Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi and Sun Jihai can also be confirmed. The other two positions cannot be fixed. In this game, Jie Shuai used Sun Xiang and the newcomer, and the 22-year-old young player Rong Hao started.
Rong Hao plays as a full-back in the club, and Ji Shuai asked him to try a full-back in the national team. The six midfielders had to attack and defend forwards, and the full-back position was just a front-end position. Rong Hao's performance in his debut was good, just His goal in the 9th minute of the second half made the Chinese team win.
The national team midfielder also needs a player with pure defense, broad vision and strong connection ability to completely liberate Zhuo Yang and Zheng Zhi's attack power, make Zhuo Yang a midfielder, and maximize his abilities and role. The forward line also urgently needs someone who can break through dense defense and score goals at least.
These are all based on Asian positions. The World Cup is still far away, so I won’t think about it so much.
At the end of March and early April, two consecutive international match days, Zhuo Yang and the national team left Tashkent, which was full of yellowish-toned tones and returned to Shanghai. Next, they will welcome the Bahrain team at Hongkou Stadium.
The Chinese team won Uzbek 1:0 in the most economical way, and the Japanese team also won Bahrain 1:0 in the same round. After six rounds, Japan won 4 wins, one draw, and 13 points were almost certain to qualify, and the Chinese team won 2 wins, two draws and one loss were accumulated. 8 points are still to be discussed. It is naturally nonsense to try Bahrain, who has only accumulated 4 points, but he still has the hope of entering the top three to compete for the playoffs. Fighting against the Chinese team is the key to their hopes.
The Bahrain team is actually not weak. They often have a hard-core force in West Asia, Saudi Arabia and Iran are not at a disadvantage. In November last year, the Chinese team paid the price of five yellows and one reds to almost save a draw.
In this game, Bahrain played very tenaciously, and the Chinese team led twice and equalized the score twice. In the 27th minute of the first half, Zhuo Yang assisted Shao Jia to open a record, and the score of 1:0 remained until the end of the first half.
Just four minutes into the second half, Bahrain captain No. 10 Sarimi competed for the top of the corner kick to tie the score. Ten minutes later, Zhuo Yang broke through continuously and shot on the corner of the penalty area to make the score 2:1. However, Huber tied the score again in the 70th minute.
If Zhuo Yang was not available, maybe China and Bahrain would change their current positions in this top ten match. In the 86th minute, Zhuo Yang cut from the side to the top of the arc, and his left foot sharp arc directly into the upper corner of the goal. 3: 2. The Chinese team won a very critical victory, and this 3-point basically ensured that they were at least qualified to play in the playoffs.
In this continuous game, the top ten games came to an end, and the battle started until June after the end of the entire European season. At that time, Zhuo Yang and his team would face the real opponents of Group A, Australia and Japan.
