Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 117: training with the world preliminaries

As Jorge Dillon said, with Hu Lai, a player who can be regarded as a monster in European football, if the Chinese team still has to stumble in the top 40, it will be hell.

Although Syria is the strongest opponent of the Chinese team in this group.

But that's all.

Like some people are hexagon fighters because they are strong and some people are hexagon fighters because they only have hexagons.

Syria is the strongest opponent of the Chinese team in the top 40, not because of their strength, but because there are no real rivals such as South Korea, Japan, Australia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia in this group.

Hu Lai's goal not only broke the deadlock for the Chinese team, but also made the Syrian players fear him very much and put all their attention on him.

This creates opportunities for other Chinese team players.

Zhang Qinghuan scored a goal at the end of the first half, and the Chinese team led Syria 2:0.

During the intermission, although Syria made personnel adjustments and tactical changes, it did not play any role.

In the 61st minute, Luo Kai scored the third goal for the Chinese team with a long shot.

At this point in the game, there is no suspense about victory.

The Chinese team will beat Syria at home and take all three points.

Victory against direct competitors can help the Chinese team get the first place in this group and thus qualify for the top twelve.

But the Chinese team's offense is not over yet.

In the 74th minute, Hu Lai grabbed a point in front of the goal and completely sealed the victory for the Chinese team.

4:0!

At the home court of the Chinese team, Syria did not cause any waves, and they lost without any suspense.

At the post-match press conference, Jorge Dillon was asked about Xia Xiaoyu and Zhou Zijing who left the team in an interview with reporters. He said that although he missed these two players very much, the national team has its own rhythm and will not Because there are two people missing, the pace of progress is stopped.

He hopes that Xia Xiaoyu and Zhou Zijing can also perform well in the Olympic team and help the Olympic team enter the 34th Olympic Games to be held in Los Angeles next year.

No one thought Dillon was talking about the scene, because the Chinese national team, which lacked midfielder Xia Xiaoyu and center Zhou Zijing, easily defeated Syria at home. This is the best proof.

After the top 40 match, all the overseas players returned to their respective clubs.

Because the Chinese team has a bye in the next round of the top forty.

Although the national team still has training camps and warm-up matches, based on Dillon's purpose of inspecting new players, he does not intend to keep overseas players in the team.

In the warm-up match between the Chinese team and Macau, China, Dillon plans to use all the players who play in China.

The strength of the Chinese Macau team is very weak, and they did not even participate in the top forty. However, the purpose of this warm-up match for the Chinese team is only to test newcomers and players, so the strength of the opponent is not important.

The outside world has no objection to the decision of the national team, and even thinks it should be taken for granted.

In fact, Yu Jintao also knows what the outside world doesn't know - not only this warm-up match, but also the next top 40 match, Dillon plans to use it for training.

Although it is not as extreme as this warm-up match against Macau, only domestic players will be used, but it will indeed reduce the playing time of overseas players in the game.

On the one hand, it is to ensure that they still have sufficient physical fitness when they return to the club, and to reduce their chances of being injured in the national team. On the other hand, it is also to give domestic players more opportunities to exercise, and to select suitable players through the top 40 to add to the future lineup.

Compared with the warm-up match, it still takes some risks to use it in the official World Cup qualifiers.

Therefore, Dillon did not announce it to the outside world because he was afraid of causing controversy.

He planned to wait until the raw rice was cooked.

And all the confidence to let Dillon do this is because of the performance of the Chinese national team in the previous top 40 matches and the current ranking.

Halfway through the top 40, except for the first-round bye, the Chinese team won all four games in the group stage, accumulating 12 points, scoring 17 goals and conceding only one goal.

Because from the top 40 to the top 12, the top two in each group will be selected.

So as long as the Chinese team can get the top two in this group, they will be able to participate in the top twelve.

Turkmenistan, the third place in this group, currently has six points and a goal difference of six, which is far behind the Chinese team.

In the remaining four rounds of group matches, the Chinese team only needs to win two more games to ensure that they will qualify.

Because the opponent of the Chinese team in the second game was Turkmenistan. Even if Turkmenistan maintained a complete victory after the start of the second half of the Top 40, as long as the Chinese team wins Turkmenistan, the Chinese team will still lead their opponents by six points.

But because Turkmenistan has a bye in the last group match, they will only have one round of group matches left. With two points behind the Chinese team, it is impossible to threaten the status of the Chinese team.

With such a huge advantage, the chances of the Chinese team capsizing in the gutter in the second half of the top 40 are very small.

Dillon plans to wait until the Chinese team has qualified for the top 12 in advance, so he will not even call back the players who have studied abroad, and all the remaining top 40 games will be played by domestic players.

This really made Yu Jintao, who knew the inside story, feel infinitely-although the Chinese team made it to the finals in the last World Cup. But in the top forty stage, it was definitely not so easy. They tried their best and had a bit of luck to qualify for the Top 12 competition.

And now the Chinese team actually has the capital to use the top 40 games to train their troops...

Dillon was right, we did...be stronger.

When the head coach of Athletic Amsterdam, Yop Munster, saw Chen Xingyi in the training base, his eyes widened: "Damn, Xing, why are you back?"

Chen Xingyi was also very surprised: "Did the club not receive the notification from the national team, sir?"

"What notice?"

"The notice about me only playing one national team game..."

Munster frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "It should be, but I didn't care. Forget it, anyway, you have come back, tell me, what's going on? Don't tell me you were injured. "

Facing such a head coach, Chen Xingyi was also speechless: "No. It's just that our national team has a bye in the next round of qualifiers, and Mr. Dillon asked all the overseas players to return to the club first. The rest of the game is a warm-up match. , there is no need for foreign players to participate..."

Munster heaved a sigh of relief after understanding the reason, and then laughed: "Yes, Jorge is a coach who has coached in Europe, so he knows what the coaches of our European teams are thinking. Every time you go back to China to play The ball, it's a huge damage to your fitness."

Chen Xingyi didn't say a word, of course he knew what the head coach said.

But can he refuse to return to the game because of this?

No way.

From the bottom of his heart, Chen Xingyi couldn't do such a thing.

He is a Chinese player. He has a big goal in playing professional football, which is to represent the Chinese team in the World Cup. So how could he not go back for a game like the World Cup qualifiers?

Did he train so hard for so many years just to earn a lot of money by playing in professional football clubs in Europe?

A Chinese, a Chinese player, if he can't contribute to his own national football, but only makes money in Europe, what is the difference between him and a gypsy who has no country or home?

Not to mention that the Chinese football environment is better now, even when the Chinese football environment was not good before, he would not have the slightest idea.

But he also understands the difficulties of the head coach.

Because the problem exists objectively, it does not disappear automatically because of his patriotic enthusiasm.

Every time after playing the national team game, he returns to the club and either becomes a substitute, or he can't make the squad at all.

Physical fitness will be greatly affected.

"This is good news for you. You have a few days more rest time than others. I think maybe we will be a little calmer in the next game against the Rotterdam Elite."

What Munster said means that, if nothing else happens, Chen Xingyi will start in this "National Derby" in the Netherlands.

This is indeed good news.

Chen Xingyi has contributed two assists in the Eredivisie League this season. Although he cannot be said to be the main force, as long as his state does not fluctuate greatly and his physical fitness is fine, he can basically start the game.

Now he needs to show better performances in the heavyweight competition to consolidate his position in the team.

The Dutch national derby against the Rotterdam elite is such a good opportunity.

If he can perform well in this game, he still has a chance to start in the Champions League next week.

Since the new season, although he is far less popular than Hu Lai, his statistics are not as good as Brother Huan.

But Chen Xingyi also made every step at Athletic Amsterdam, taking each step steadily.

He knows that he will not be in the Eredivisie forever, and sooner or later he will play in the top five European leagues.

In order to achieve his goals, the experience at Athletic Amsterdam is invaluable, and he must lay the foundation here.

"Since you came back early, I will ask the coaching staff to make a special training plan for you. You will train according to this plan in the past few days..." Munster said. "There are not many people left in our first team, and we have to train together with the youth team."

Chen Xingyi nodded: "I will listen to you, sir."

Munster was very satisfied with Chen Xingyi's attitude, he patted Chen Xingyi on the shoulder: "Go warm up now."

Seeing Chen Xingyi's back running onto the training ground, Munster nodded with a smile.

It seems that the teacher is very happy working in China...

He even drove back all the players who had studied abroad.

Although there were no overseas players, the Chinese team composed of domestic players still defeated the Chinese Macau team 6:0 in the next warm-up match.

Dillon used different formations in the first and second halves of the game.

352 in the first half and 442 in the second half.

Because it is a warm-up match, the two sides negotiated before the game that each team can change up to six players.

Dillon used up all six substitutions and fully examined the abilities and performances of his players~lightnovelpub.net~ Overall, he was satisfied with the results.

The Olympic team played three warm-up matches at the same time, and Zhou Zijing, who was a little aggrieved in Leeds, went all out in the Olympic team.

He scored six goals and assisted twice in three games, helping the Olympic team achieve an unbeaten record of two wins and one draw.

As the core of the midfield, Xia Xiaoyu also played steadily, contributing one goal and three assists.

In addition, the media also found a coach in Dillon's coaching staff at the scene of the Olympic team's warm-up match-he obviously didn't want to watch the game on a whim.

Instead, entrusted by Dillon, he came to the scene to observe the performance of the Olympic team players.

This scene can't help but make people think about it—maybe after the Olympics, the Chinese national team will usher in a group of newcomers...
