Chapter 72 A short trip to the Asian Cup qualifiers

After the warm-up match with Jordan, the Chinese team continued to train. Gao Hongbo adjusted the training content and had been conducting offensive training before, mainly tactical drills.

However, after the previous few days of training and three warm-up matches, he now has little significance for Zhou Yi. The most urgent thing has become to improve the players' shooting ability.

So shooting training was put on the agenda.

Now Zhou Yi can lead the midfield to create a shooting opportunity, but if the forward cannot seize the opportunity and cannot score a goal, it will be useless.

Therefore, we need to strengthen shooting training.

In this process, the Chinese Football Association also coordinated and communicated with the Dortmund Club.

Dortmund agreed to Zhou Yi participate in the Asian Cup qualifiers with Syria, but hopes that China will prevent Zhou Yi from participating in the subsequent qualifiers against Vietnam.

The Chinese Football Association also agreed in this regard. After all, Vietnam is weak, and even without Zhou Yi, the Chinese team will have a high chance of winning. The most important thing is to play against Syria. As long as Zhou Yi can participate in the match against Syria, it is enough.

The two sides made an agreement.

Zhou Yi only participated in the qualifiers against Syria, and then he would return to Germany immediately to participate in the league preparations.

On January 6, the Chinese team will face Syria at home.

This is the penultimate round of the Asian Cup qualifiers.

Before this game, Gao Hongbo was under tremendous pressure.

Because the Chinese team performed poorly in the two games against Lebanon, although they won, the winning was very thrilling and did not reflect the Chinese team's strength advantage in front of Lebanon.

To this end, Gao Hongbo shouted the slogan that the Chinese team would advance to the Asian Cup finals as the first in the group before the game against Syria.

This means that they must beat Syria at home and even draw.

For this reason, he urgently recruited Zhou Yi, who made his mark in the Bundesliga.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi did not show any discomfort in the national team, but quickly integrated into the team and became the core of the team's organization. First,

Through the warm-up match against Jordan, Zhou Yi's performance made many people feel relieved.

With the addition of Zhou Yi, the Chinese team has a greater chance of defeating Syria at home.

In the match against Syria, because of its outstanding performance in the last game, Zhou Yi did not appear on the bench again, but appeared!

Gao Hongbo did not play any unexpected games this time.

Syria has also strengthened its defense against Zhou Yi. They arranged a person to specifically guard Zhou Yi.

However, Zhou Yi was not surprised by this.

He has already enjoyed such treatment in virtual competitions.

After all, the head coach of Syria has watched the warm-up match between the Chinese team and Jordan.

Zhou Yi also has his own way of dealing with this kind of defense.

Or rather, he doesn't have to think too hard about how to get rid of this kind of defense.

He just needs to run.

Originally, Zhou Yi had a large range of running when playing football. After the range was large, it would be difficult for the players who were guarding him to always maintain the pressure on him.

Zhou Yi will retreat to the back line to handle the ball. The Syrian players who are guarding him can't follow him, right?

In that case, there will be fewer people in their backcourt.

Even if Zhou Yi enters the frontcourt, he will not stay in the same place. He will turn around in the left, center and right, and run non-stop.

This made the Syrian player who was in charge of his guarding him a little dizzy.

Because he had no idea what the purpose of Zhou Yi's running was, and it seemed like he was aimless.

Many times, Zhou Yi would not receive the ball after running over, so he paused for a moment. He turned around and ran in the completely opposite direction.

The Syrian player who was in charge of his guard had to run again, and it is very likely that he would have made a total trip in vain in the end.

The Syrian player who was asked to keep a guard against Zhou Yi before the game began to feel that he was just a waste of time.

He is here to play football, not jogging!

After finally waiting for Zhou Yi to receive the ball, he pushed up like a chicken blood. As a result, Zhou Yi immediately passed the ball away again, and after passing the ball, he began to move to the next place again.

So I started jogging like it seemed endlessly

The Syrian player who is responsible for guarding Zhou Yi has almost always been on Zhou Yi, and he is not sensitive to the overall situation of the game, but if he can get out, he will realize that his team has been suppressed by the Chinese team on the scene.

But he didn't know how to suppress it.

In fact, it was as he continued to run with Zhou Yi that the Chinese team passed the football and established advantages bit by bit.

The Chinese fans in the stands will cheer for a while. These are not all cheers because of the Chinese team's shooting. Most of the time, they cheer for the wonderful transmission of the Chinese team.

"Backed-up" was not a good word in the past, and it always reminded Chinese fans of the negative way of playing the national team frequently stumbled in the backcourt.

But now, this has become synonymous with technological flow.

Represented by Barcelona, ​​football players are passed on to each other, so that the rhythm and initiative of the game are controlled by one's own side. It is a tactical trend that is highly praised by the football community.

How long a team can pass continuously is a true reflection of their level of possession.

Before Zhou Yi came, it was difficult for Gao Hongbo's Chinese team to pass the ball multiple times in a row when they encountered a stronger opponent. The ball might be lost if it was passed by three or five feet, especially when it hit the opponent's 30-meter area.

But now, the Chinese team can pass the ball for a long time, and use this kind of pass to mobilize the opponent to achieve the effect of controlling the situation.

Under the advantageous possession, the Chinese team broke the deadlock on the court in the 30th minute.

Yu Hai, who served as the center forward in this game, received a pass from Deng Zhuoxiang, setting a record for the Chinese team.

The cheers from the court reached the first peak of the game.

Although this ball was not assisted by Zhou Yi, Deng Zhuoxiang only made a pass after receiving Zhou Yi's pass.

"Beautiful header! Yu Hai! After a series of continuous passes, the Chinese team converted the advantage in possession into a goal!"

After conceding the ball, Syria was eager to equalize the score. After they kicked off, they launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's half.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Yi grabbed their weakness of the relatively empty defense line. In the 33rd minute, he decisively passed the ball and hit Syria a counter-offside!

"Zhou Yi! Decisively pass the ball! Yu Hai! He received the ball! This is a counterattack!" Duan Xin shouted excitedly in the commentary seat.

The Chinese fans in the stands were more excited than him. The cheers were louder.

Amid the deafening cheers, Yu Hai ran wildly with the ball, fully leveraging his advantage in terms of degree, and threw away all the pursuers. He entered the Syrian penalty area. Facing the Syrian goalkeeper who was attacking, he made a fake shot and then drove the ball horizontally, changed direction and shook the goalkeeper away, and then pushed the shot!

The football flew into the empty gate!

"2:o!2:o!! Good goal! The Chinese team scored two goals in three minutes and determined the advantage of leading two goals! This time it was Zhou Yi's assist! In the transition from defense to offense, his pass was very decisive and precise! Zhou Yi! This is his first assist in the national team!"

After scoring the goal, Yu Hai ran to the corner flag area and pointed at Zhou Yi with his finger, asking Zhou Yi to come up to celebrate with him.

Zhou Yi ran over, and the two hugged in front of the corner flag, and then they were flooded by their teammates.

In the stands, there were Chinese fans cheering and shouting!

A year ago, after the Chinese team lost to Syria 2:3 away, they were pressed by their opponents in the group.

Now, Chinese team fans finally feel proud of "turning over and being the master".

In the first half, the Chinese team maintained a two-goal lead.

After the halftime break, the two sides changed sides and fought again. The Chinese team firmly controlled the situation by relying on passing.

Although the score has not expanded, the scene is still dominant.

Duan Xin sighed in the commentary: "How long has it been? We played so reassuringly while we were leading?"

This has been a long time, and the most senior Chinese fans must think about it carefully before this issue.

Maybe it's never been?

Starting from the 60th minute, Zhou Yi's physical fitness began to decline rapidly, his running on the court became less, and his opponent's defensive success rate increased.

Gao Hongbo, off the court, knew it was time to replace Zhou Yi.

After all, Zhou Yi's physical fitness is a problem and he can't hold on to the whole game.

So he made a substitution adjustment.

In the 65th minute, Zhou Yi was replaced.

Zhou Yi walked very slowly and looked very tired.

The Chinese fans in the stands stood up and thanked Zhou Yi with applause and saw him off.

"Zhou Yi received applause from all the fans of the court! This is what he deserves. His performance in the game is obvious to all! It can be said that he directly improved the performance level of the Chinese team! When Zhou Yi came to the national team to report, we all worried that he would not be able to integrate with this team in a short period of time. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi completed the integration with a degree faster than light. Looking at his performance on the court, it really makes people think that he has played in this team for a year."

"I only played four professional league games and was selected into the national team and quickly became the core of the national team. This could be said to be absolutely impossible to have arisen before the crackdown on gangsters. Now, thanks to the country for its gangsters. Let us regain our confidence in Chinese football."

"Now, Zhou Yi will not participate in the away game between the Chinese team and Vietnam. His Asian Cup qualifiers ends here. Let's look forward to his performance in the Asian Cup! In addition, we don't have to wait too long to see his wonderful performance in the Bundesliga on January 18th!"

Amidst the constant applause, Zhou Yi finally walked off the court and completed his Asian Cup qualifiers journey.

In fact, it should have been updated a long time ago, but when the leader appeared, I was still in Lugu Lake, so it was inconvenient to use a computer to access the Internet, so I was unable to update it in time. I am very sorry. (To be continued.)
