Zhuo Yang, who suffered an ankle injury, was unable to provide technical support to the national team, and he was unable to exert a deterrent effect on the Syrians as he was on crutches. The law of mental encouragement cannot play a leading role in every game.
Trailing 0:1, the Chinese team launched an even more frantic counterattack, like a cornered wolf. Sforza sent out almost all the forwards on the team and made cheap and helpless efforts, allowing the Chinese team to take 13 shots in the second half.
times, 21 times in the game.
But 0:1 was the final score, and the Syrians successfully turned the sneak attack into victory. The Chinese team suffered its first defeat in the top 12. It was also the first time that Zhuo Yang had lost at home in the World Cup preliminaries since Zhuo Yang returned in 2008.
Yang's hometown.
Putting aside the scene where goalkeeper Gu Chao made a mistake and conceded the goal, the national team also exposed many problems, especially on the offensive line, which was in a mediocre mess. After the game, the media analyzed the reasons for the defeat from various angles, and the national team also made in-depth discussions.
review.
But these are all superficial phenomena. Ultimately, the national team is in a period of fragmented self-perception.
Zhuoyang is back. Although he has not returned to the game, everyone subconsciously returns to his status as the top eight in the World Cup. Before the game, the domestic media were talking about how vulnerable Syria is. It sounds so weak.
Like a straw, he is the perfect target to score points in the top 12 games.
The game hasn't started yet, let alone at home, and the six points scored against Syria in the two games have already been accounted for by everyone from the media to the fans to the team.
However, everyone has ignored that since 2008, except for Zhuo Yang, the current national team has never defeated Syria at the same level in the Asian Youth Championships at all levels, and even lost 0:4
of disastrous defeat.
They have also lost to almost all the top teams in Asia, as well as opponents like Vietnam and Indonesia that they have never lost before. They have already lost all the games that the adult national team has won on the surface.
Leaving Zhuoyang, with the composition of this team, the basic strength is far around the top 10 in Asia. To enter the top 12, it is actually very lucky.
Except for a few individuals, this national team is actually useless, and Sforza has no choice but to believe in evil or not. His efforts to forcibly discover new players and forcibly verify new playing methods failed in this game.
The national team needs to step back from the brink, change course, and Zhuoyang needs to lead another group of people.
Five days later, the Chinese team drew 1:1 with Uzbekistan in the fourth round of the top 12 at the National Athletic Stadium in Tashkent. Zhang Chendong scored a goal from a corner kick in the 60th minute of the second half, and Shukurov's shot hit Zhang Chendong in the 83rd minute.
Changed direction and hit the net to equalize the score.
It's all Zhang Chendong's business.
Goalkeeper Yan Junlin saved two must-goals, and Uzbekistan still had three goalposts in the game. Unfortunately, luck did not favor them.
After four rounds, the Chinese team has become the only team in Group A that has not yet won. Iran has 10 points with 3 wins, 1 draw, Uzbekistan has 7 points with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and South Korea has 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss.
5 points.
The Chinese team has 3 draws and 1 loss, and they have 3 points with Qatar and Syria, both of which have 1 win and 3 losses.
The Chinese team is a little depressed about this record, but not deeply, because Zhuoyang is on the sidelines. When he can play, all problems will be solved, just like what happened before.
But one loss and one draw made Zhuoyang's head hurt. He followed the team with a stick to supervise the battle, but it seemed to have no effect. It was all in vain, and he also lost a lot of favors from Manchester City Club and Guardiola.
Guardiola's head hurts more than Zhuo Yang.
This international match day comes at a very bad time for Manchester City. Having previously tied with Celtic and lost to Tottenham, Guardiola has already noticed that the team is in a subtle and dangerous situation.
Manchester City's main lineup is basically the main force in European and American national teams. They experienced the European Cup, the America's Cup and the Olympic Games in the summer, and they did not get enough rest.
After the start of the new season, Manchester City had a brilliant ten-game winning streak, but Guardiola knew full well that the team's skills and tactics were far from being in place, and the personnel configuration was also very unsatisfactory. This was just because the opponents were against Manchester City's control and control.
Being unfamiliar with the law, he was caught off guard and was defeated one by one.
After ten consecutive victories, the team's integration progress was slow, the freshness faded, and the fatigue of continuous battles set in. The previous ten consecutive victories were enough for subsequent opponents to analyze and study some methods. It is foreseeable that Manchester City began to encounter some real resistance.
get.
What Manchester City should do most at this time is to make some fine-tuning of tactics through integrated training, especially on the two wings where the problems are most obvious, and then make planned rotations according to the situation to survive the October games smoothly.
But the arrival of the international match day threw all these plans into chaos and all the problems came together.
The tactical fine-tuning of three central defenders to replace the current four defenders has not been fully practiced, and they can only go to the field to try and make mistakes. Many international players in the team have increased fatigue. They say they are the pillars of the national team, but in fact they are used as mules.
The three Argentines, Aguero, Zabaleta, and Otamendi, played in the two rounds of the 2018 World Cup South American Qualifiers. Just play, the performance of the three of them is not very good, Argentina 2:2
Drawed with Peru and lost to Paraguay 0:1.
Boss Mei, who has returned to the national team, suffered a slight injury in the previous La Liga game and legitimately missed the two rounds. After the new coach Pausa took office, Aguero, who was reduced to a substitute, was re-entrusted with important tasks. The impact of the two starts was
The forward position is actually Messi's traditional territory.
As a result, Aguero performed like Wu Lei of the Chinese team in these two games. His attack was weak and sparse, he did not score any goals, and he even missed a valuable penalty kick in the second half of the game with Paraguay.
After ten rounds in the South American region, Argentina, which has been winless for three consecutive rounds, has fallen to fifth place, not much better than the Chinese team in the Asian region.
As for Manchester City's other important players, David Silva is currently Spain's current left winger, De Bruyne is Belgium's core midfielder, Stones has replaced Smalling, and Cahill has become England's key player.
The main central defender partner.
After surviving the crisis of the World Cup at home, Feiniao once again became Brazil's chief defensive midfielder, along with Germany's Gundogan and Serbia's Kolarov. They all played 180 minutes in the two games on this international match day.
After returning, the team was exhausted and injured, and Guardiola wanted to curse at the top of his lungs.
Zhuo Yang comforted him and said: "Brother Gua, don't get excited. The season always has to wait until the second half of the season to decide, so where are we now? Besides, there are so many names in the English competition, so just pick one in the first year."
The champion will be able to compete soon."
