Chapter 377 Friendly match is a friendly match

After the show was completed, Xiao Ming took his two generals to bid farewell to the recording staff of the sports channel and returned to the hotel. The rule of Leiden East is that players must concentrate before the game, even in friendly matches.

"What do you think of this person?" After Xiao Ming left, Wong Daxian suddenly asked her two colleagues.

"Xiao Ming?" Fatty Zhang laughed. Although he was fat, he had a great general demeanor: "What else can I say? He is one of the richest people in the world at a young age. In seven years, he turned an ordinary low-level team into a super strong team defending the Champions League championship. And he was also the head coach of this team... Even if the head coach of Leiden Oriental on the reported list is MacDonald, everyone knows that Xiao Ming is the real head coach of Leiden Oriental. If such a person is replaced, I am afraid that he can only say one word of conscience."

"I'm not talking about this..." Wong Daxian smiled bitterly: "What he said on the show made me feel that if he led a Chinese club, he would use the same means to develop this club."

"In fact, this is not something that is difficult to imagine. At least, like those of us who pay attention to foreign competitions earlier and know a lot about the foreign league classification system, what he said is not a secret. The outstanding performance of any national team in the competition is rarely due to the outstanding performance of a certain group of 'golden generation' players, but the accumulation of strength after a long period of accumulation. But it is obvious that in addition to knowing these things, he also used these things to do something really. If there are a few chairmen in our country who have a stable and balanced development club like him, perhaps our current league is much better." Liu Jinqiu, who had not spoken next to him, suddenly sighed and said such a big story.

Huang Taishen and Fatty Zhang looked at Liu Jinqiu, who usually seemed extremely moderate and mediocre, and suddenly realized that they could not say anything.

The three of them are colleagues and competitors, but at this time, the three of them suddenly discovered that the previous estrangement seemed to have disappeared.

Although it may only be a moment, at this moment, because of football, any barriers no longer exist.

Xiao Ming naturally would not know that after he left, these three commentators who were very famous in the sports channel had a discussion on this. He also didn't know what role his words on the show would play. With China's population density, no matter how unsuitable Asians are, there will be a large number of geniuses. However, no matter how outstanding a genius is, if there is no suitable soil, it will only gradually wither.

Not being able to cultivate talents is not the most urgent thing in Chinese football. The most urgent thing is that talents simply don’t get the chance to make a comeback.

In such a huge China, how many places are there in football-playing teenagers who have the opportunity to receive formal training? Not to mention formal training, there are probably not many opportunities to play football. There are definitely not many schools with playgrounds. Even if there is a playground, there are probably more basketball courts that cover a smaller area. If you ask some college students where they used to play football, many people would probably say they were playing on the basketball court.

Xiao Ming would not know that the football atmosphere he mentioned in the UK is difficult to achieve in China. Under the cumbersome learning tasks, there are several young students who can keep playing football. Even in some big cities, the middle-aged people who want to lose weight are more likely to run on the court than young children.

And there is another point that no matter how reasonable Xiao Ming said, there will not be too many people who can listen to it.

Football in our country is often quite contradictory. On the one hand, it is eager for outside affirmation. No matter what famous players and coaches are interviewed by Chinese media, they always hear questions like "What do you think of Chinese football?". What is interesting is that those same kind words, such as "Chinese football has great development potential" and "China has excellent players" often make the listeners feel very happy. If the other party really says something constructive, the listeners will often feel bored, and instead subconsciously ignore these suggestions that may bring some positive changes to Chinese football.

In fact, it’s more than just football that has such a contradiction!

Friday, July 13th.

In the West, the 13th day is Friday again, which is often considered Black Friday. Friday and the number 13 both represent bad luck. Legend has it that Jesus was crucified on Friday, avoiding 13 because the thirteenth disciple Judas who betrayed Jesus. If Friday coincides with 13th, it would be a very unlucky day. Therefore, no matter which month the 13th day coincides with Friday, it is called "Black Friday". Today is such a Black Friday.

However, Xiao Ming has never cared about these things, and China has no taboos in this regard, so although some players in the Leiden Oriental Formation think it is a bit bad for participating in the game on this day, they don’t care too much about it when they think about it in China.

Leiden Oriental's starting lineup in this game is a bit different from when he was against the Japanese national team.

The goalkeeper is still Jasqueline. Sun Jihai started on the defense line as the right back. Daniel sat on the bench, the left back was Ashley Cole, and the center back became the partner of Campbell and Deselli. In the midfield, Xiao Ming unexpectedly lined up three midfielders, Mark Lele, Pirlo and Gerrard, while Figo and Jinklaze reached the forward position, and the only center was Dutchman Van Nich.

This lineup is also considered the main lineup of Leiden Oriental. After all, Pirlo plays the position of shadow forward in Brescia and the Italian youth team. Before this game, Xiao Ming specifically instructed all players to give the ball to Pirlo to organize, Marklele protects behind him, and Gerald is responsible for rushing in front.

The Chinese national team also sent all the main lineups. Yang Chen and Hao Haidong who played in Germany formed a forward partner, behind them were shadow forward Qi Hong, captain Ma Mingyu, right forward Li Ming from Dalian, and Jianlibao young player Li Tie. On the defense line, Beijing's Xu Yunlong replaced Sun Jihai's right-back position, the center back was Fan Zhiyi and Zhang Enhua's partner, the left back was Wu Chengying from Shanghai, and the goalkeeper was Jiang Jin, the best goalkeeper in China now. This lineup is basically the main lineup of the Chinese national team in the top ten games that will begin.

In order to prepare for this top ten match, Milu has tried many kinds of player combinations with the help of previous friendly matches and group matches, and has even been bombarded by everyone for not using Chinese stars in the absolute sense like Hao Haidong and Sun Jihai. This lineup does represent the highest level of Chinese football now.

In this main lineup, there are elites trained by the old generation of professional teams, players who were very good at playing after the formation of the professional league, and rookies who were trained abroad. However, Xiao Ming's starting lineup is actually a bit relaxed.

Although Sun Jihai replaced Daniel and Pirlo replaced Djokav, and the other players did not change much from last year's Leiden Oriental's main lineup, there were drastic changes in tactics.

At least in the first half of this game, Leiden East's offensive core was not Figo or Jin Kraze, but Pirlo who had just joined.

Because it was a friendly match that was not valued by Leiden Oriental players, when Xiao Ming told them before the game that the core of the offense and defense of this game was Pirlo, no one had any objections, because although there were not many training sessions together, Leiden Oriental players could also feel that Pirlo's skills, awareness and overall situation were indeed quite outstanding. In the only group confrontation, Xiao Ming also arranged for Pirlo to play as a midfielder. Although he was protecting two midfield substitutes, Tovding and Holland, Pirlo, who had no worries, kept helping Joe Cole and Glenshare in the substitute lineup to launch counterattacks through accurate long passes.

When Xiao Ming announced the news, all the Leiden Oriental players felt that Xiao Ming wanted to experiment in a friendly match what role this tactic would play in actual combat.

This situation is naturally very common. After all, a team cannot use the first tactic to play all games from beginning to end. Although Leiden East is the only one tactic to win the world with oppressive offense, wing forward cutting and full-back assists, it also does not rely on one set of tactics to conquer the world. Just like they often use the vulgar tactics of dead-defending counterattacks, in daily training, Leiden East practices various types of tactics, so that Xiao Ming can quickly become familiar with the tactical style when changing tactics. Therefore, all players now believe that the boss's approach is nothing more than asking players to train different tactics in normal friendly matches and training. No one thinks that Xiao Ming is an experiment for the transformation of Leiden East after half a season or a season.

Of course, the experiment can be done at any time, but as a Chinese, Xiao Ming still doesn't want his team to play the Chinese national team that is about to go to the top ten games without any face and no confidence.

Although the Chinese national team is only fighting for the qualification to participate in the World Cup, if a team finds that the gap between itself and the world's top teams is almost irreparable, the team will also suffer a huge blow.

Xiao Ming will not let his players let go in the game, because even if it is just let go in the friendly match, it is a very dangerous sign for a team. However, it is not very difficult to let the players play a little bit without letting go.

The players have been playing crazy on the streets of Beijing these days. Yesterday's training was just some restorative training. The players were in average condition. However, if they used the tactics that Leiden Oriental was used to, it is estimated that Leiden Oriental's main lineup could still solve the Chinese national team as easily as the Japanese national team, and it is possible that the Chinese team would lose even worse - because in terms of midfield control, there is already a certain gap between the Chinese team and the Japanese team, and Leiden Oriental is best at launching a fierce offensive immediately after the midfield pressure. When Leiden Oriental met Leiden Oriental at its peak, the Chinese team, which had no advantage in both technology and strength, might be beaten by Leiden Oriental so that it was not even left.

But now, Leiden Oriental uses another tactic, and Leiden Oriental players are not only unfamiliar with this tactic, but also a newcomer who does not cooperate much with his teammates.

So after the start of the game, the Chinese national team, which has good physical condition and physical fitness, played well with Leiden Oriental, and the Chinese team's forward scoring ability is even better than that of the Japanese team. Several offensive players are very distinctive players, such as Hao Haidong's explosive power, Yang Chen's impact and Qi Hong's skills. Even if they win the middle and lower-level teams in the five major leagues, they can compete for the main players.

The entire defense line was replaced halfway, and Campbell and Hypia were the same cooperation, and Sun Jihai and Ashley Cole frequently supported the assists, Leiden East's defense was not as good as usual.

Therefore, the Chinese team, which was able to compete with Leiden East in the midfield, created several opportunities at once. In the 13th minute, through a cooperation in the frontcourt, Qi Hong received a return pass from Hao Haidong at the front of the penalty area and then shot in front of Pirlo. The ball hit Haipia's body and changed the line. Yasquelenin, who had made a save, had no choice but to do anything.

Seeing that his national team actually led last season's double champion Leiden Oriental in the game, the Chinese fans over the Workers' Stadium couldn't help but cheer.

This goal also made the players of Leiden East a little confused. After the game started again, the vigorous Chinese team suppressed Leiden East. Qi Hong and Ma Mingyu pressed in the middle and made Pirlo a little busy. However, Leiden East's defense did not make any mistakes again, nor did they give the opponent another chance to score.

After gradually becoming familiar with the way of teammates running through running and observation, Pirlo's overall view and outstanding consciousness began to slowly show up. Pirlo, who is optimistic about being the team to take over Baggio, Piero and Totti in the future, and becoming the successor of Italy's unique shadow striker, will naturally not be an ordinary person. Although there are still many shortcomings in physical confrontation, under the protection of two powerful midfielders, the Chinese national team's pressing in the midfield can no longer affect his performance.

Several long passes from the midfield were just right, immediately made the Chinese team's defense line busy. When there was danger in the backcourt, the Chinese team's midfield had to retreat to help defend. However, this approach caused Pirlo to be less disturbed, and his dispatch and command became more and more convenient.

Just fifteen minutes after the Chinese team scored, Leiden East tied the score. Pirlo accurately passed the ball to find Jin Klaze who was inserted from the left. Jin Klaze dunked the ball back when the ball was about to go out of the baseline, and then crossed it with his right foot in the penalty area. Xu Yunlong, who returned to defense, didn't know that Jin Klaze, the world-famous left attacker, actually had his right foot. He easily passed a beautiful arc ball into the penalty area. Fanny in the penalty area cleverly circled in front and blocked Fan Zhiyi and Zhang Enhua two central defenders. Then he jumped comfortably and then a lion shook his head. The ball quickly flew into the goal from the close point.

This goal calmed the entire Workers' Stadium. The Chinese team played so smoothly just now but they just took the lead. The opponent didn't seem to have much effort, and it seemed that they just tied the score casually. This reality finally made everyone Chinese fans realize that they were not facing the giants who came to China purely for gold hunting, but a double-win team that had just beaten the Japanese national team in Tokyo and was willing to work hard to play the game!

After equalizing the score, Leiden East controlled the situation on the court well. Pirlo also became more and more comfortable. The position was lowered so that he didn't need to face the opponent's confrontation directly. He just needed to control the ball under his feet and organize the attack. This feeling made Pirlo feel very comfortable. It turned out that the boss was really right. At this position, he might be able to play another sky...

In the 37th minute, it was Pirlo's long pass again. After receiving the ball, Jinklaze was tripped by Li Tie at the front of the penalty area. Figo took a beautiful arc ball around the wall and flew straight to the dead corner. Although Jiang Jin was tall and long, he could only sigh at the ball.

Just three minutes later, Leiden East's offense made a comeback again. Marklele knocked the ball to Pirlo after stealing in the midfield. Pirlo passed the ball to Gerald in front. Gerald dribbled the ball and forcibly broke through Li Tie's defense, and then shot vigorously at the front of the penalty area. The ball was hit by Jiang Jin and bounced back to the penalty area. Fanny was quick-eyed and quick-footed to score the first time!

After conceding one goal, Leiden Dongfang immediately scored three goals in a row, proving his strong strength.

In the second half, Xiao Ming replaced all the other players as usual, while Sun Jihai appeared on the Chinese national team, and the captain of Leiden East became Daniel.
Chapter completed!
