The unparalleled defeat at 0:8 had a much more serious impact on the Chinese team than the outside world thought. Head coach Rijkaard and captain Zhuo Yang are both extremely proud people and will never lose anything just because their opponent is Brazil. Indifferent.
Ten years ago, Barcelona was eliminated by Fort Madi 5:4 in two rounds of the UEFA Cup, which directly triggered Jieshuai's purge of Barcelona. Eight years ago, AC Milan only lost 0:2 to Palermo. The 21-year-old Zhuo Yang dared to get angry at Maldini immediately.
It’s okay to lose, but you can’t lose so insensitively; you can’t be inferior to others in terms of skills, but you can’t be inferior to others.
Together, Zhuo Yang and Jieshuai took several players from the main lineup, including Gao Lin, Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Peng, Zhao Jiuri, and Zeng Cheng. It was not that they were blamed. After such a disastrous defeat, the team must do something. Change, otherwise the entire team will become insensitive to failure.
Besides, based on the ability of domestic players, the difference between them is very small. Who is better and who is not better will not change the strength structure. What will be changed is morale.
As the Chinese team's first game of the World Cup arrives, everyone is presented with a team of younger players. Zhuo Yang is already the veteran second only to Zheng Zhi in the starting lineup.
Wang Dalei, who made a sensation four years ago, once again put on the main gloves. After the World Cup in South Africa, he caused a lot of troubles because of his complacency. He pretended to be weird on the field and attacked the fans off the field, and was ignored by Jieshuai and Zhuo Yang. After sincerely admitting his mistakes many times, It wasn't until last year that he returned to the national team.
Central defenders Zhang Linpeng and Meifang, full-backs Ren Hang and Zhang Chendong, these four defenders were all born in 1989. They are very interesting. All central defenders and full-backs can be plug-and-play. The four of them can divide their labor however they want.
Although there is a huge gap in personal strength, Zhang Linpeng's style is indeed very similar to Shui Ye, and he also has fancy arms. Zhuo Yang always calls him "Zhang Moss".
The aggressive style of play created by Jieshuai for the Chinese team is quite similar to the newest Triple Crown winner Real Madrid in terms of formation positioning. They both mainly play 4-2-3-1, or 4-2-1-2-1.
Yu Hai transformed into a center forward and was at the front. Although he was born as a winger and was even nicknamed 'Yu Luoben' or 'Yu Ben', he was tall, tall, physically fit and experienced, and his offensive awareness of the goal was outstanding. The best besides Yang. Then again, Yu Hai, who is only 27 years old, is already losing speed, so there is no advantage in putting him as a winger.
Zhuo Yang doesn't like Robben very much, so he prefers to call Yu Hai "C Hai".
There are two defensive midfielders, Zheng Zhi and Hao Junmin, one is Hao Nesta of the Chinese team, and the other is known as "Pilzhi" in the world. The Chinese team does not expect them to become bandit-style iron-blooded defensive midfielders.
In front of them is the free man Zhuo Yang, with Wu Lei and Zhang Xizhe on both sides. He can become a winger when he advances, and he can be a full midfielder when he steps back.
.
African teams are much more famous in international football than Asian teams, especially Nigeria and Cameroon, who represent the rise of African football, one is an eagle and the other is a lion.
But historically, no matter whether the East Asian or West Asian teams are facing African teams, they don’t seem to be afraid. Putting aside the victory or defeat, they always have a good score, and the overall record is still advantageous.
Similarly, the Chinese team's record against African teams has always been pretty good, and it was as tough as Cameroon's 8:3 four years ago. So in order to qualify four years later, it is reasonable to regard Nigeria as the goal for scoring points in the first game. .
The Ecuadorian referee Carlos Vela blew the whistle and the game started. Today the entire referee team is composed of four people from Ecuador.
There was no test at all, and the Nigerians took the lead and launched a charge. In the 2nd minute, Liverpool winger Moses cut in from the left and volleyed from the penalty area line, but Wang Dalei firmly confiscated it.
Then the ball was thrown to Zhang Chendong to launch a fast break on the wing. After being blocked, it was handed to Hao Junmin for transition. Zheng Zhi then split the ball to Wu Lei in front.
During the 2008 Olympic Games, 16-year-old Wu Lei was a ball boy on the sidelines. He took the opportunity to take a photo with Messi and Aguero. Wu Lei said that he likes the type of boss Mei, but his idol is Cristiano Ronaldo. .
Zhuo Yang slapped the back of his head: "Shouldn't your idol be me?"
"Brother, you are too tall. You are a god. I can't afford it. It's too offensive to treat you as an idol."
Zhuo Yang thought this little kid was pretty good at talking.
Wu Lei was very smart. He did not raise the ball when passing the ball at a 45° position. The height of Nigeria's defense was not low. He also did not go to the ground. The opponent's defense did not lose its position.
Wu Lei passed a half-high ball from the waist that was difficult for the defender to handle, and went around the back of the defense.
The 24-year-old central defender Godfrey Oboya Bona plays in the Turkish Super League. The movement of the full back Omero in front of him shook him, and the football hit Obo Bona's naturally open wrist, which was very obvious.
The referee Bella's whistle sounded, and the penalty was awarded accurately.
You really get what you want. Before the game, Nigeria's captain and goalkeeper Enyema said that he hoped to compete with Zhuo Yang on penalty kicks. At this time, he really wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
Zhuoyang first rubbed Wu Lei's head as a sign of praise, and then picked up the football and walked to the white spot. He still had time to talk.
"You said you wanted to teach me how to take a penalty kick?" he asked Enyema.
Enyema swallowed: "Yes..."
"Want to make a bet? Do you know my rules?"
"I've heard of it."
"Want to come?"
Enyema showed a warm smile like a wise man: "Let's forget it, it's not interesting."
Zhuo Yang also smiled and nodded: It will be easier if you give in.
"Zhuoyang, do you dare to tell me which angle you are going to shoot?"
Zhuo Yang looked at Enyema with caring eyes: "I said I planned to shoot you on the left side, do you believe it?"
So, the troubled person became Enyema.
As the saying goes, Zhuo Yang has never been a gentleman on the court. When Bella's whistle blew, he decisively hit the ground and shot into the middle after the run-up, leaving the left side to hell.
The football hit the goal, the Chinese team 1:0. As the initiator of the "Jianghu Order", Zhuo Yang also kicked the ball. This was also the 9th goal he scored in the World Cup journey.
Zhuoyang's penalty kick was violent and upright, with a speed of up to 129. Enyema could not prevent the football from entering the net unless he fell down in advance.
After Li Jinyu scored the first goal four years ago, the Chinese team was so excited that tears burst into their eyes. Four years later, Zhuo Yang scored from a penalty kick, but everyone celebrated relatively calmly.
We have Zhuo Yang, will we be short of goals? The only problem for the Chinese team is whether they can hold on to the back and whether they can concede fewer goals than they score.
After 5 minutes, the Chinese team lost the ball.
Moses broke through from the wing and slipped into the penalty area. Zhang Chendong broke the baseline and Nigeria got the first corner kick of the game.
After Aziz kicked off, Moussa, who was guarding the back post, overturned Wang Dalei from underneath and knocked the football into the goal. Referee Bella's whistle sounded again, and it was a foul for colliding with the goalkeeper.
Chapter completed!
