Champion’s Heart

v3 Chapter 236: Zhou Yi Dependence

Chinese fans hope that the Chinese team will be defeated at home, defeating the Iraqi national team.

But the final result was that the Chinese team played 1:1 with Iraq at home, the two sides shake hands and make peace.

This result is not very acceptable, so after the game, the fans in the stands are a little bit resentful-this is at our home court, we have not been able to take it down at home, do we still expect to win on the road Opponent?

In an interview after the game, Zhou Yi also talked about the draw: "We also regret that we did not win. They are tenacious. Iraq is a respectable opponent. But this does not mean that we can't do it. Qualifying in Asia. I don’t think you have to worry too much. The World Cup qualifiers are a very long process, and this is only the top 20."

"Are you worried that in the end you will find that today's draw will be a turning point?" a reporter asked.

"Not at all." Zhou Yi shook his head and answered in the affirmative.

Finally, Zhou Yi waved his hands to the reporters and said, "Don't be a frightened bird.

After saying that, he and the reporters said goodbye and walked away.

"The idiom is pretty slippery..."

"After all, it's a high school student, people are supposed to take the college entrance examination..."

The reporters talked.

"But it's a pity that I haven't been able to win Iraq at home. If we can win, we will have more room for manoeuvre..."

"Actually, I think what Zhou Yi said is justified. And I think everyone ignores it-don't think we are already strong because we got the Asian Cup runner-up, in fact, there is no obvious improvement in strength. How did the runner-up in the Asian Cup come to everyone's heart? With luck, Zhou Yi's credit is also great. But always expect Zhou Yi to do it alone? In fact, such a clue has appeared in this game." Some people analyzed And, the headline is right, and everyone thinks it makes sense after listening.

After all, they are all professional journalists in the football circle, so there are still some professional qualities.

Before the Asian Cup, Gao Hongbo claimed that the Chinese team was third-rate in Asia. The media criticized him, not that the media felt that the Chinese team was truly first-class in Asia.

After the Chinese team won the Asian Cup, many people felt that this did not mean that the strength of Chinese football went up.

The results of a major competition often fail to explain what matters, and determining the level of football in a country is a complex and multi-faceted result. For example, the Greek team won the European Championship in 2004, but can it be said that Greek football is the best in Europe? If, after that championship, the Greek team can become a favourite to win the European Cup, it can be said so. But in fact it is not, so it is called "Greek myth". Since it is a myth, it can't appear often.

So how is the level of Chinese football? The results of the first Asian Cup cannot explain any problems, but depends on the performance of long-term multiple events.

If the Chinese team can reach the finals of the Brazil World Cup, and every subsequent World Cup finals can not miss, then it can be said that the strength of Chinese football has become stronger.

And the problem exposed by the Chinese team in this game is also very obvious, that is, excessive dependence on Zhou Yi.

At the press conference after the game, Gao Hongbo was asked by reporters the question of "Zhou Yi Dependency."

"Zhou Yi is the core of the team. His importance is of course self-evident. But the performance of other players is equally important. Football is a team sport. The strength of the Chinese team is of course not very strong. I have always said that our football Its level is not strong in Asia. Chinese football still has a long way to go. This game is only one step."

Gao Hongbo answered the reporters' questions in this way.

He did not directly admit that the national team has a certain degree of "Zhou Yi Dependence", because in that case, it is tantamount to admitting that the other players of the national team are not worthy of Zhou Yi, which is a damage to the team's unity.

In fact, he knew clearly that the abilities of some players of the national team really have to work together with Zhou Yi. This is no secret, just look at Zhou Yi's two performances in Dortmund and in the national team.

In Dortmund, Zhou Yi has excellent teammates to help him, his performance is like a fish. In the national team, he will inevitably be a bit difficult to take the lead.

Zhou Yi is an organized midfielder, not the kind of player who is in a charge. He needs excellent teammates to cooperate. Gao Hongbo is not unaware, it is just a clever woman who has nothing to do with rice. The domestic excellent players can no longer find anything. Too.

Of course, he is also paying attention to the Olympic team, but the task of the Olympic team is no less than the task of the national team. He can’t transfer the young players of the Olympic team to the national team. In that case, Blazevic I'm definitely anxious about myself...

You should know that the final group stage of the Asian Qualifiers for the Olympic Games has already started. The Olympic team's first game was unfavorable and lost to the Korean Olympic team 1:2 away. So Blazevic's pressure is also very big.

In order to be able to recruit the Olympic players who play in Europe, Blazevic also used his European connections, hoping that those clubs can let go.

Strictly speaking, the Olympic Games is not an international A-level event, and there is no dedicated national team match day, so the game time and the European League are in conflict.

For example, the match time with the South Korean team was kicked off at 7 pm on September 21, Beijing time, and the fifth round of La Liga's Atletico Madrid match against Athletic Gijon was also on the evening of September 21, Beijing time. , This is embarrassing...

Because the national Olympic team's main goalkeeper Sun Pan is also the main goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid.

The goalkeeper loaned by Atletico Madrid in the summer performed very well during the summer warm-up, squeezing Asenjo and becoming the main goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid. So Atletico Madrid is not willing to let Sun Pan back to participate.

If Blazevic had something to do with European football, the Chinese Football Association would have to fight against Atletico Madrid.

Similar to Sun Pan's situation, Guo Nu, this season was added to the transfer of Changyouyou by Inter Milan. Guo Nu was traded to Cesena. After coming to Cesena, he was still in the first round of the league. Substituting, he became the starter in the second round. After playing in two consecutive starts, his performance has conquered the officials and coaches of the Cenaise club and fans.

It seems that Inter Milan does not want, but found a stable chance to play in Cesena.

In the fourth round of Serie A, Cesena faced Lazio at home on the evening of September 21 in Beijing time, but Guo Nu was going to participate in the Olympic Games and will miss this Serie A match.

In the end, Cesena without Guo Nu lost 1-2 at home to Lazio, which proved Guo Nu's status in this team from one side.

He Ying's situation is slightly different from the first two, but only because the time he played in Valladolid did not coincide with the Chinese Olympic team's game time. After loaning from the Barcelona youth team to Valladolid this season, the group photo of playing in the West B League is not concerned, but this low-key environment seems to be based on He Ying.

He played five rounds in the Western Division B. He started three times and played twice on the bench. He has scored two goals. And the two chances to come off the bench are in the first two rounds of the league, which means that since then he has started three games in a row.

Yang Muge is a marginal figure in the first team because he has not played before in Schalke 04, so this has the least impact on him.

So why do two players who play the main role in the La Liga and Serie A teams, as well as a main player in the Western B League and a Bundesliga first team player, the Olympic team will lose to the Korean Olympic team on the road?

Blazevic believes that after the game is a continuous running, the main players of the team are not in the best physical condition, plus the game is already difficult, so the Chinese Olympic team loses it is normal . And the Olympic team also scored an away goal, Blazevic is proud and proud of it.

It is worth mentioning that the only person who scored the Chinese team is He Ying.

After ending the game in Iraq ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Zhou Yi left China and returned to Dortmund.

The next national team game will have to wait until November 11 a month later, the Chinese team will go to challenge Iraq, and four days later, will go to challenge Singapore.

After playing these two games, the Chinese team has only one game against Jordan. But perhaps at that time, it was already clear whether the national team could break into the final ten games...

After returning to Dortmund, Zhou Yi helped Dortmund defeat Werder Bremen at 2:0 away.

Chinese media commented that Zhou Yi in Dortmund is a more powerful version than Zhou Yi in the national team.

This is a fact.
