The result of the friendly match between the Chinese team and Charlton on November 20 is not? Even if it is a loyal Chinese team, what I want to see is that the Chinese team beat Charlton, nor how much the Chinese team's technical and tactical level has improved after Forador coached. Forador has coached three games in total. Even world-class coaches like Mourinho, Benitez, and Ferguson cannot make the team change much. All fans who are following this game actually want to see Chen Yu's debut in the Chinese team.

After the Chinese team entered the World Cup finals in 2002, Chinese fans were excited and thought that the Chinese team had soared from now on, but they did not expect that the Chinese team not only did not soar, but instead fell into a trough. The low of this trough was shocking. In the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, they did not qualify for the outside world, and were eliminated by Kuwait with the advantage of goal difference. In the 2007 Asian Cup group stage, they created the worst record for the Chinese team in the Asian Cup.

At this desperate time, Chen Yu is the only hope of all those who love Chinese football and love China. Due to the conflict with the Chinese Football Association, the head coach of the national team, and the main players of the national team, Chen Yu left the national team in anger. Many people think this is the fundamental reason why China is in a trough. Now that Chinese football has reached its most dangerous moment, Chen Yu has finally announced his return to the national team, which is undoubtedly a shot of a heart-warming agent for Chinese fans who are almost giving up the Chinese team.

Although Chen Yu publicly admitted that he would join the Chinese team, as long as Chen Yu did not represent the Chinese team in international A-level events for one day, Chinese fans could not feel at ease, because Chen Yu's professional football career began in Italy. Chen Yu lived in Italy for five years, and the Italian Football Association has always hoped that Chen Yu would join the Italian team. Chen Yu did not represent the Chinese team in international A-level events for one day, so it is possible for him to play for other European countries. Therefore, whether Chen Yu can represent China in the game with Charlton this time is crucial for Chinese fans and Chinese football.

Forador led his team to London, the first thing he did was to go to Liverpool to meet Chen Yu, rather than letting Chen Yu go to London to meet the team.

As a head coach, especially a foreign head coach, doing this will definitely be a shameful thing. However, if you don’t do this, it is almost impossible for Forado to sit firmly in this position. Not to mention how crazy Chinese fans support Chen Yu, just talk about the attitude of the Chinese Football Association and support Chen Yu unconditionally. If Forado and Chen Yu have conflicts, there is no doubt that Forado will be the one who is dismissed, and not Chen Yu will leave.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be done openly. After arriving in London, Forardo did not even hold a press conference and directly took Guo Zuojin and the translator to Liverpool quietly.

Chen Yu was not surprised at the arrival of Forador. Zhang Shubin and Guo Zuojin had analyzed with him before that Forador coached the Chinese team not to help the development of Chinese football. He just came to make money. He just made money after signing the contract. No matter whether the Chinese team can enter the South African World Cup, and make better. If he can't enter the World Cup, he will go to other places to make money. Anyway, he is not a star in both the player and when he was a coach. With Forador's understanding of Chinese football, he will definitely come to Chen Yu to find support. Therefore, Chen Yu did not rush to London as soon as possible, but waited for Forador to visit at home.

This is not that Chen Yu is arrogant. Although Forador is the head coach of the national team, Chen Yu is already a world-class star. Forador comes to visit him first and it is not a shame for Forador to be a breakthrough. Moreover, if Chinese football wants to make a breakthrough, relying on Forador alone is useless. Chen Yu and Guo Zuojin need to gain more power, so we must attack Forador's authority and establish the authority of Chen Yu and Chinese coaches in the team and the outside world.

Chen Yu hurriedly came to the gate to welcome Forador's arrival.

"Coach Forardo, why are you here? I'm going to go to London to meet the team tomorrow."

Chen Yu held Forador's hand with a look of surprise.

"Chen, I should have come a long time ago. It's a bit late to visit you today. I'm just too busy and can't get away."

Forador looked apologetic, as if he really wanted to come. In fact, even now, he didn't want to come. However, in this Chinese team, Chen Yu not only has a far-reaching reputation as his head coach, but also has several absolute main players who are Chen Yu's friends. If he doesn't have a good relationship with Chen Yu, he will not be able to control this national team and may even be unable to gain a foothold.

"Hurry up and sit in it."

Chen Yu accompanied Forado and Guo Zuojin walked towards the living room together.

?The host and guest took a seat and Chen Yu said, "Coach Forador, are you drinking tea or coffee? Where is Uncle Guo?"

Forado smiled and said, "Do you have tea? If you have tea, drink tea."

Guo Zuojin said: "I'm just like Coach Forardo."

"I have a box of good tea in my room and I'll give it to Coach Forador to try it."

Chen Yu went out to make tea, and Forador said to Guo Zuojin: "It seems that Chen Yu is not as difficult to approach as the legendary one, nor is he arrogant."

Guo Zuojin smiled and said, "Chen Yu is my fellow villager. I call me uncle. I know him very much. He is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. As long as you treat him well, he will work hard. If you do evil to him, he will never end up with you."

Forador nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.

After a while, Chen Yu brought the tea, brewed the tea, poured it for the two of them, and said, "I can't bear to drink the best Longjing, Uncle Guo, Coach Forador, you guys taste it."

Guo Zuojin took a sip and praised: "No, it's really good. The tongue produces saliva, and the fragrance fills the mouth."

Forardo also kept saying "good".

After tasting the tea for a while, Forador said first: "Chen Yu, you are the only superstar in this national team, and you are also older. Next year's World Cup qualifiers depend on you. You are the mainstay of the team. I just took over the Chinese team and I still need your strong support."

Chen Yu put down the blue and white porcelain tea cup and said solemnly: "Coach Forardo, I am actually a newcomer to the national team. I have never played a formal game. I have never cooperated with the players in the team. You still need more care in the national team."

Forador took out a list of national teams and handed them to Chen Yu, saying, "Chen Yu, look at the list above, many of them are familiar to you. All the players who play in Europe have been selected for the national team, and you have no problem with your cooperation."

Chen Yu actually saw it when the national team announced the roster for this warm-up match, but he still took it and looked it carefully twice.

Gao Fei, Sun Hai, Zheng Hua, Dongfang Zhuo, Wang Zhan, Shao Gang, Chen Yu is all very familiar with these people, and the worst is also friends. Wang Zhan and Gao Fei are considered Chen Yu's close friends. Folado has selected them all into the national team, which is considered very attentive. Of course, it may also be the result of the Football Association's recommendation. After all, Folado is still very unfamiliar with current Chinese players.

The rest are like forwards Qu Bo, Gao Lin, Han Peng, Yu Baobao, midfielder: Du Yu, Hao Jun, Zhou Bing, Xiao Bo, Wang Dong, Zhao Junzhe, Liu Jian, Huang Bo; defenders: Sun Yang, Cao Yang, Wu Hao, Wang Xiao, Feng Cheng, Zhang Liang, Du Wei, goalkeepers: Zeng Lei, Chen Dong, Li Lei, etc. Chen Yu is relatively unfamiliar with people, that is, because in the same circle, Chen Yu is more familiar with names, but what makes Chen Yu happier is that the names he hates are not on the roster.

After reading it twice, Chen Yu returned the roster to Forardo and said, "I don't know much about domestic players, there are only six or seven of them. Football is a team sport. I think it's difficult to win a game by anyone alone. Even within the range of Asia, don't think I scored more goals in Liverpool and Fiorentina, that's because Fiorentina played from C 2 to Serie A. The players are familiar and their playing style is stable. Before I joined Liverpool, Liverpool was already a strong team, and the formation style is very fixed. After I arrived, I only increased the team's attack power. The Chinese team is a new coaching staff, new players, and new playing style. I think it's still very difficult to score many goals in such a team."

While listening to the translation, Forado pondered. After listening, he also said very seriously: "Chen Yu, what you said is very insightful. I came to visit you today, just to discuss the team building and playing style. After all, this Chinese team must be established with you as the core. Since you have such a full understanding of difficulties, I think I have saved a lot of talk."

Chen Yu said: "Coach Forador, you look down on me too highly. With me as the core, I don't think I can afford it. After all, this is a newcomer to the national team and cannot convince the public. And I think playing team football may be better. The popular trend of world football is that team playing style is becoming more and more important, and the performance of stars is based on the team's system."

Forador waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Where is it, Chen Yu, I'm not praising you. Any coach who takes over the Chinese team will be formed with you as the core. No one will be dissatisfied. In the whole of Asia, you are a star at the top of the pyramid and the number one person in history. Whoever dares to dissatisfies your position, if you don't agree, let him leave the national team."

Guo Zuojin also said seriously: "Coach Forador said that whoever does not accept it will get out of the national team. The IQ and tactical awareness of Chinese players, what team football is to play star tactics, do a good job in defense, and hand the ball to Chen Yu."

Forador said: "Yes, what Coach Guo said is right. Team football is not played in one or two days. Our top 20 games will start in February next year. There is no time to run in the formation style. We can only play while playing. The main thing is to rely on your personal ability to score. Only by enduring the top 20 games will our team be able to take shape. At that time, we will be able to play from the top 20 games. Of course, we must be able to qualify from the top 20, but I believe in your ability."

Chen Yu nodded secretly after hearing Folado's words. Although Folado has no fame and average level, he is not a liar, at least he has a clear understanding of the situation.

Chen Yu said: "I have no choice but to do my job for the country, but next year in the top 20 games, I will be at the most stressful time in the club. If I am not in good condition, I am afraid that my teammates will have to take on more responsibilities at that time."

Seeing that Chen Yu was humble again and again, even Guo Zuojin couldn't stand it anymore, he smiled and said, "Even if you only have three points left in your form, you can still beat those Asian opponents."

Forado was very steady and said: "It is definitely necessary to play for the country, but the club's performance must also be taken into account. I will consider this point. You don't have to worry too much. If our opponents in this group are less powerful and we are confident of winning, then you just need to be in charge. However, judging from the ranking given to us by the AFC, the situation of our group this time is very unoptimistic. Guidance Guo, tell Chen Yu about the situation."

Guo Zuojin took out a piece of information and said: "This is the information we have compiled. The grouping rules for this qualifier are that the top 20 in Asia will be divided into 5 groups, each with 4 teams, including a seed team. The top two in the group are eligible to enter the next round of the top 10.

First level: Australia (4), South Korea (3), Iran (2), Saudi Arabia (5) and Japan (1);

Second level: Bahrain (12), Uzbek (6), Kuwait (16), North Korea (15) and China (9);

Third tier: Jordan (17), Iraq (7), Lebanon (24), Oman (8) and the United Arab Emirates (11);

Fourth level: Qatar (10), Syria (13), Thailand (14), Turkmenistan (18) and Singapore (20)

Asia is a large region with more than 40 countries. Due to many historical and religious reasons, many countries have conflicts with each other, which inevitably involves football, and group draws must also be considered.

Saudi Arabia and Thailand cannot be the same group. Because at last year's Asian Cup draw ceremony, the AFC announced the unspoken rules of Saudi Arabia and Thailand in advance. The cause was 18 years ago, a jewelry theft case worth $20 million in the Saudi palace in 1989. A Thai waiter who returned to China was regarded as the target of suspicion. Saudi businessman Ruwari was sent by the Saudi royal family in 1990 to Thailand to investigate the jewelry theft case.

A bizarre disappearance. A few months later, three diplomats from the Saudi embassy in Thailand were murdered in Bangkok. The Thai police have never solved the case. These cases seriously affected the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Thailand. In the grouping of this year's Asian Cup, the AFC took great pains to arrange Saudi Arabia in the Indonesian division, completely excluding all the possibility of Saudi Arabia going to Thailand to compete. Therefore, it is not surprising that Saudi Arabia missed Thailand again in the top 20 Asian games.

It is impossible for North Korea and South Korea to be in the same group. I don’t need to explain this issue more. Chen Yu, you must understand.

Iran and Iraq, due to the nearly 10-year-old Iran-Iraq War and its long-standing historical reasons, as well as recent diplomatic frictions, the relationship between the two countries is becoming more tense, and the AFC will definitely consider these things in the group.

Iran, like North Korea, is a country that has caused trouble for the AFC. The chances of two countries being assigned to the same group have increased greatly. For example, in the 2004 Asian Cup qualifiers and Olympic qualifiers, the Iraqi team was in the same group as the North Korean team; in this year's Beijing Olympic qualifiers, the Iraqi team was in the same group as the North Korean team. This point is very evident. I can now clearly conclude that Iran must be in the same group as the North Korean team.

Finally, Kuwait and Iraq have little relationship with each other, but I think there is still a possibility of being assigned to a group, but the chance is quite small. Basically, we can conclude that these two countries cannot be in the same group.

Well, the above relationships with the impossible groups have been completed many times. I am talking about the lottery procedure. First draw out of the fourth level, and then place them in the first to 5 groups arranged in order; then draw out the third level, or in the first to 5 groups respectively in order.

For the first level, if there were no Chen Yu, China would have the same chance to win or even draw. But now we have Chen Yu, we have hope to win every opponent, but we all still hope to be in the same group as Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is not only the weakest in the seed team, but we all like its style and style. The Chinese team has always been Saudi Arabia's visiting stars. Psychologically, at least we are not afraid of him, and now with Chen Yu, it is safe to eat them.

However, Saudi Arabia rarely has the same group as the Chinese team in major competitions (at least 10 years). This is not a coincidence. From this point of view, it can be concluded that the possibility of Saudi Arabia being in the same group is very small. Considering factors such as regionality, the first opponent of the Chinese team is very likely to be Iran and Japan, and of course Australia may also be.

Needless to say, it is impossible to be in the same group as the Chinese team and we don’t need to analyze it.

It turns out that the third level is not easy to deal with the Chinese team. Only Oman and Lebanon are weak in the third level, and the Chinese team is not weak in the historical confrontation. Iraq, a difficult opponent, gave us a blow in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, and Iraq is the new No. 1 pick. The strength is really not underestimated. Although the strength of the UAE and Jordan have declined, they are also able to score points on the original Chinese team. In the past, the third level team was the real enemy of the Chinese team. But now with Chen Yu, I think we can win any team, but our team needs to be running-in and hope to draw the UAE, and the worst is to draw Iraq.

The fourth-tier team, Qatar, is of course the strongest. They are the champion of the 2006 Asian Games. This is a team that is difficult to deal with. They have a Uruguayan "foreign aid", but when the top 20 matches start, they may also have a second and third foreign aid. Once they have it, Qatar's strength will be stronger. For such an opponent, it is best not to touch it before we finish the run-in. There are too many uncertain factors. Other opponents should be given points. However, according to the results and practices of previous draws, Qatar, a team that Chinese fans hated in 1997, is likely to be in the same group as the Chinese team.

The best result we predicted is: Japan, the UAE, Qatar, and the worst result is: Iran, Iraq, and Qatar.

Chen Yu smiled after hearing this and said, "Why do I feel that we may draw the worst result? The AFC is controlled by the West Asians, and they seem to be against us all the time."

Guo Zuojin said: "There is also a possibility. The West Asians have always favored the West Asian team, and Japan and South Korea have also been harassed. However, they are strong and not afraid. They can qualify in any group. Now with you, we are not afraid of anyone. We will also be so cowardly next year."

Chen Yu said: "But you should start by running in first. It is difficult to play when you encounter a strong team rashly. Once the start is unfavorable, it will be difficult to deal with later. Our players seem to have poor psychological quality."

Guo Zuojin said: "It's not very bad, it's the worst. North Korea and Qatar are better than our competition."

Chen Yu and Guo Zuojin were chatting enthusiastically, and they neglected Forado aside. After a while, Guo Zuojin said: "Coach Forado, tell Chen Yu about our general idea so that he can have a clear idea in his heart."

Forador just kept listening, but his face was not so good. At this time, he smiled and said, "Let me just talk about it briefly. When I meet with the team, I will talk about it in detail. With the ability of Chinese players, it is obviously difficult to achieve offensive football. Moreover, we have strong points like Chen Yu, so I think it is still the main way to play defensive counterattacks. After all, if we are lucky enough to enter the World Cup, the opponents there are all strong teams and we are not qualified to play offensive football, so it is the best way to stay on defense. Of course, this arrow is Chen Yu. Even if we cannot give Chen Yu a good assist, he has the ability to solve the problem by himself, especially at the beginning of this schedule, I am afraid that Chen Yu will have to work harder."

Chen Yu smiled and said, "This is a must."

Forardo said again: "The personnel arrangement is like this. We focus on 451, main goalkeeper Zeng Lei, main defenders Sun Yang, Zheng Hua, Sun Hai, Du Wei; main midfielders Hao Jun, Zhou Bing, Gao Fei, Zhao Junzhe, Shao Gang; the main forward is naturally you, Chen Yu, when you meet a weak team, this formation can become 442, let Han Peng partner with you, this is basically like this. With the running-in, we may adjust the starting and the main force, and may absorb fresh blood."

Chen Yu said happily: "It is a blessing to have coach Forador in the national team. I think this arrangement and concept are very good."

Forador hurriedly said: "This is not my personal decision, it is the result of the joint efforts of the Chinese coaching staff and my coaching staff."
Chapter completed!
