In fact, even if Mai Zhaocheng did not say it directly, there are many things that can prove that the Chinese Football Association and the Olympic team are really ambitious this time.

In addition to recruiting overseas players such as Hu Lai and Zhang Qinghuan to come back to compete, it is rare for overage players to start training with the team from the first day of preparation for the Olympic team.

In the 2012 Beijing Olympic Games, the Chinese Olympic team participated in the football competition as the host, and there were also overage players in that Olympic team.

Qin Lin's only Olympic record was at that time.

As an overage player at that time, Qin Lin only joined the team ten days before the start of the Olympic Games, and did not participate in the training camp of the Olympic team nearly two months in advance.

The same goes for two other overage players.

The two overage players did this partly because the Chinese Super League was still going on at the time, and the club was unwilling to let people prepare for the Olympics so early, which would affect the performance of the club team.

But Qin Lin had already played football in Frankfurt White Deer at that time, and his situation was the same as that of Hu Lai and Zhang Qinghuan.

He still trained with the Olympic team ten days in advance.

It can only be said that that was the normal operation of overage players at that time.

This time, Hu Lai, Zhang Qinghuan and Lin Zhiyuan came to train with the team as overage players so early, obviously because the Olympic team hoped to allow the three overage players to get along well with the team and blend in perfectly.

Rather than sixteen years ago, overage players are overage players, and the Olympic team is the Olympic team. The two are like water and oil on the court, completely incompatible.

This split performance also led to the failure of the Olympic team.

In addition to meeting with the Olympic team for training in advance, this kind of thinking can also be seen from the arrangement of dormitory rooms.

For the Olympic team, two people live in one room.

When allocating rooms, there was no random drawing of lots, nor was there a voluntary combination, but was designated by the team leader.

In the final roster, the overage players were not assigned to a room, but were all broken up to live with the original players of the Olympic team.

And even if they are shared with the Olympic team players, they are not roommates with the Olympic team players they are already familiar with.

For example, even if Hu Lai didn't share a room with Zhang Qinghuan, he didn't live with Xia Xiaoyu either.

It was with Ou Yangjin.

The same is true for Zhang Qinghuan and Lin Zhiyuan.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't live with his South China Tiger teammates at all.

This kind of arrangement that completely breaks up the original interpersonal relationship fully demonstrates the determination of the coaching staff of the Olympic team to make everyone a united whole.

Whether it is the Overseas School, the "Flash Star Gang", or any other small group... they are not allowed to appear in this Olympic team.

Even if Hu Lai is such an accomplished star, there is no special treatment in the Olympic team.

All of them have only one identity, that is, "Chinese Olympic Team Players", and overage players are also National Olympic Team players.

Using this method to break the barriers and distances between each other, so that they can get along well on and off the field, only such a team can break out of extraordinary combat effectiveness in the game, thus writing history.

What makes the coaching team of the Olympic team very gratifying is that Hu Lai and his "predecessors" have set a good example in this regard.

On the first day they came to the team, they got along well with the players of the other Olympic teams. Take a breath.

At the same time, with Hu Lai's fame and achievements, he was very serious in training and set a good example for other Olympic team players.

Let everyone learn from others, and no one dares to be lazy in training.

After all, anyone who dares to do this will be looked down upon—Brother Hu has trained so hard, how capable are you to be lazy? Did you score thirty-six goals in La Liga? Or won the Golden Boot in the Champions League? Or scored twice in four consecutive Champions League games?

Who on the Olympic team can withstand such a soul questioning?

I want to ask if anyone in the Olympic team is unhappy with Hu Lai's desperate training like Saburo?

Of course there is.

Zhou Zijing was very upset-I am the right-age player of this team, which is about equal to the owner of this team! How can I make Hu Lai pretend to be aggressive in front of me? No, I have to work harder than you!

If someone thinks that it is normal for Hu Lai to train so hard, it is because they have heard the story of Hu Lai's training at home. Then they read Zhou Zijing.

As a player of the right age for the Olympic team, Zhou Zijing was already on the team, and everyone has seen how he trained before. Although it is not enough to say "lazy", it is definitely not hard work. The result is now like a chicken blood...

What's wrong?

Ou Yangjin, Guan Shipeng, and Tian Yuan saw it with their own eyes, and combined with what Brother Xiaoyu said about "Brother Hu's Success Learning", they had a deeper understanding of "pure".

They also work very hard in training, trying to make themselves pure.

So the Olympic team got involved...

This made the team leader Ran Jiachang admire Mai Zhaocheng's original decision:

"Sure enough, first unify the mind and tell them that the goal is to get a card, which can fully stimulate their subjective initiative! How come no one of us thought of it for so many years?"

Mai Zhaocheng laughed: "The times are different, Lao Ran. In the past, Chinese players had poor grades and lacked confidence. Doing so would only greatly increase their pressure and eventually collapse. Now these players are more confident and believe that they can really This is the way to fight for medals.”

During the training camp, the Chinese Olympic team played three warm-up matches in China.

The Chinese Football Association, the local government, and the enterprise jointly organized a U23-level international invitational tournament with money, effort and people.

According to the results of the Olympic team's grouping in this Olympic Games, the three opponents found try to fit the characteristics or styles of the opponents in the Olympic group stage as much as possible.

Why do you say that the Olympic team is ambitious this time?

First of all, judging from the grouping results, it is much better than the previous one.

In the last Olympic Games, the Chinese team was in a group with Belgium, Argentina, and Nigeria.

This group is known as the "group of death".

Facts have also proved this point-Argentina led by Meli failed to qualify from this group!

It can be seen how "dead" this group is...

In this Olympics, the Chinese team will be in a group with Germany, Honduras and Fiji.

In this group, except that Germany is slightly stronger, neither Honduras nor Fiji can compare with the previous Belgium and Nigeria.

As long as the Chinese Olympic team plays normally, it should be able to join hands with the German team to reach the knockout round.

In view of the situation of the opponents in this group, the Olympic team invited the Netherlands U23 from Europe, the Mexico U23 from Central America, and the New Zealand U23 from Oceania in the domestic warm-up match.

The strength of these three teams is not weak. If the four of them form a group, it can be said that it is stronger than the group in the Olympics. This is the "group of death."

Looking for a team that is stronger than the opponents in the group stage to warm up, the idea of ​​the Olympic team is also obvious.

Even if he lost the warm-up match, Mai Zhaocheng didn't care.

He's not afraid to hit the team's confidence.

The important thing is that before the Olympics, it is clear how much difference there is between yourself and your peers in developed football countries.

Then have a correct understanding of your own positioning.

On this basis, adjust strategies and tactics and continue training.

Until the arrival of the Olympic Games, the whole team has reached the best state both physically and mentally.

As a result, the three warm-up matches were finished, but the result was a bit beyond Mai Zhaocheng's expectations.

The first game against the Netherlands U23, the Olympic team actually won!

With Hu Lai's brace and Zhou Zijing's goal, the Olympic team defeated the mighty Netherlands U23 3:2.

In the second game against Mexico U23, the Chinese team tied the opponent 1:1. Neither Zhou Zijing nor Hu Lai scored the only goal for the Olympic team, but...Zhang Qinghuan.

This is also the first goal Zhang Qinghuan scored in the Olympic team.

The third scene is against New Zealand U23. In fact, New Zealand is the weakest of the three opponents, but the Chinese team is the most difficult to fight.

Because New Zealand U23 is very aware of its strengths and weaknesses. The disadvantage is poor technology, but the advantage is good strength and excellent confrontation ability. So New Zealand adopted the simplest and rudest style of play to face the Chinese Olympic team.

Faced with an opponent who puts a bus in front of the goal and uses long passes to attack at the same time, relying on strength to attack the Olympic team's defense, the Olympic team is not easy to speak.

In the end, the two teams shook hands and made a 0:0 draw.

After three warm-up matches, the Chinese Olympic team remained unbeaten, which surprised many people.

The performance of the Olympic team has made many people look forward to the next Olympic Games.

After playing the three warm-up matches in China, the Olympic team directly recuperated in Shanhai City, where the competition was held, for three days, and then gave the players four days off.

The four-day leave is for the players to go home and reunite with their families.

After all, from June 15th to July 20th when the warm-up match was over, these players had been in closed training for more than a month.

It is not to say that the longer the training time, the better. Long-term training is a huge physical and psychological burden on the players.

In order to allow the players to play lightly, the Olympic team gave all the players a vacation before leaving for the United States, so that they could release all the pressure and fatigue accumulated during the training camp.

Going home and being with your family is the best way to relax ~lightnovelpub.net~ After the four-day holiday is over, the Olympic team regroups in Shanhai City and then flies to the United States.

They will also play two warm-up games there.

After these two warm-up matches, the Olympic Games will officially begin.

Hu Lai's second Olympic journey in his career is about to begin.
