Chapter 28 The Darkness of Chen Cang
Yi Zhong was indeed very social. Using his interpersonal network in Japan, he quickly obtained detailed information about the Hong Kong team in three group matches.
No. 10, Dong Wusheng, team captain, main striker, 21 years old, 183cm, with amazing jumping power. He is known as "Klinsman of Hong Kong". He relies on the team to defeat his opponent in the game against Uzbek with one header and one inverted hook;
No. 21, Fang Xin, 16 years old. Although she is less than 1.6 meters tall, her feet are very fast, her dribbling speed is amazing, and she is the hope star of the Hong Kong team;
No. 7, Chen Hao, 21 years old, is from a shadow striker and a midfielder, competes in all positions in the midfield, has outstanding skills and a broad vision, and is the midfield engine of the Hong Kong team;
No. 3, Tan Ming, 21 years old, the main central defender, has strict people's gaze, strong organizational ability, hard feet, and has first-class long-range shooting ability.
The usual formation of the Hong Kong team is 4-4-2. Dong, Chen and Tan constitute the team's thick central axis and is a key factor in the rapid rise of the Hong Kong team.
Lu Juren casually looked through the information about the Hong Kong team, but had no idea;
At the core, he was full of disgust and even contempt for Hong Kong football. Lu Juren could not have much favoritism for this humble role who has always played a rogue;
Although the Hong Kong team had magically defeated Uzbek before, he thought it was just an accident, and the fact that Thailand defeated Hong Kong later just proved this idea;
Hu Chaowei, the former yellow flower of the Chinese League, made him think that against such a fourth-rate team and third-rate coach, the net-style play is enough to defeat the enemy.
When picking up the trend chart of the top 16 in the Asian Youth Championship, Lu Juren frowned;
After skipping the Hong Kong team, the trend chart clearly shows that if nothing unexpected happens, the opponent Iran in the 1/4 finals will be;
And if the opponent is lucky enough to eliminate, the opponent in the 1/2 final will most likely be the host Japan;
In other words, before qualifying for the World Youth Championship, the Chinese team will face two powerful enemies, Iran and Japan one after another. For the weak Chinese football, which has not won against Japan for many years, this may be the situation that it is the least unwilling to face;
Before the cruel reality was revealed, most Chinese people had fantasies in their hearts, hoping that Japan and Iran would fight to the death, and then China would make a big profit from it;
But at this moment, I finally knew what it was like to deceive myself. It was China who struggled dyingly, Iran who raised his hands to cheer, and Japan who cast a net to pick up the bargain, because it was not on China's land.
What’s interesting is that in the local Asian Cup three years ago, the opponent eliminated by the Chinese team in the semi-finals was the arrogant Iranian at that time, and the opponent in the final was Japan. This is somewhat of a psychological advantage, and it is a bit self-deception.
Lu Juren looked at the trend chart helplessly. After sighing, he aroused a greater determination, a determination and courage to fight to the end!
"Dong Wusheng! Oh, it turns out it was him. The Hong Kong player mentioned by Brother Awei to me is that long-stop player. No wonder he feels familiar at first glance."
When Long Tian's eyes touched the name "Dong Wusheng" on the Hong Kong team's players list, the words of Yuchai teammate Li Weizhen clearly emerged.
Li Weizhen is Longtian’s club teammate, two years older than Longtian;
In the 1999 Qihang Cup National Junior High School Football Competition, the Guangxi team led by Li Weizhen, ***, Qiu Li and other outstanding young players performed well and reached the third and fourth place finals;
He also scored six goals in a row while behind three goals, reversing the arrogant Hong Kong team at that time with an almost magical performance. Guangxi football made a stunning debut in front of the country for the first time, and the leader of the Hong Kong team at that time was Dong Wusheng.
In the Zagreb Invitational Tournament in the second year, Dong Wusheng was also selected for the team and went abroad to Europe to compete. Li Weizhen, who is also a teammate, has deepened his understanding of him a lot.
Li Weizhen and Long Tian are both from Lucheng, and they are of the same age. They are good friends who can talk about everything;
Regarding those glorious years, Li Weizhen naturally mentioned many times that Long Tian also remembered several players from the Hong Kong team in a subtle way;
Dong Wusheng was famous for his long hair. Seven years later, this characteristic still did not change much. Because Long Tian felt the most familiar stranger from the beginning.
Coincidentally, when Long Tian was thinking about Dong Wusheng's name, his opponent was also thinking about his name.
"Yucheng Team, is it another Lucheng person?" Dong Wusheng shook his head, and a look of unhappiness floated on his face.
"Impossible! You will never humiliate us like you did back then. Although the opponent is the Chinese team now! Although the four-man team was missing a corner because of A Xiang's departure, today we are no longer the defeated generals of the day, and we are even stronger! No matter who this kid named Long Tian is, because he is from Guangxi, I will avenge a revenge seven years ago!"
Just as he was thinking, the two of them walked in: "Asheng, what are you thinking?"
"It's nothing. The war is coming. I, I miss A Xiang a little. If he is still there, he will definitely see us win this seven-year-old late!"
The two people who came in were Chen Hao and Tan Ming, and the "A Xiang" that Dong Wusheng referred to was Lin Feixiang.
These four people form the "four carriages" of the Hong Kong team. They are the first batch of players that the Hong Kong Football Association is focusing on training, and carry the hope of Hong Kong football revitalization;
In 1999, with their stable performance, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region entered the semi-finals of the national competition for the first time after returning, and played the clarion call for the rise of Hong Kong football team;
But the incredible avalanche in their minds has been deeply imprinted in their minds and cannot be forgotten until now.
Later, Dong Wusheng, Chen Hao and Tan Murder quickly grew into the pillars of Hong Kong football. Lin Feixiang said goodbye to football due to family reasons and went to the UK to study.
"Amma, what do you think the day after tomorrow will be like?" Dong Wusheng looked at Tan Ming and asked.
Tan Ming replied casually: "Coach Hu has already figured out their background. There is nothing to worry about about this, it's just..."
He glanced at Dong Wusheng and continued, "Asheng, my intuition told me that you are afraid. Why, so many years have passed, can't you still forget that shameful game?"
Dong Wusheng shook his head: "No, I'm not afraid! I can't understand why the Guangxi people are like ghosts. Do you think we are those children who haven't grown up?"
Chen Hao continued: "The grudges of those days should be settled today. We really don't want to endure this anymore! We are no longer the same as we used to be. Who is stronger and who is weaker to go to the court to see it!"
Tan Ming held Chen Hao's left hand tightly with his right hand and said excitedly: "Think about how we killed the squid (Uzbek), and you will know how we will destroy the Chinese team!"
Dong Wusheng took a step forward and held the two of them with both hands: "So what if you face the mainland team? Ugh (we) Hong Kong people are not surprised (nothing is afraid)!"
The three giants of the Hong Kong team made a hearty laugh!
On the 28th, Chinese players strictly conducted pre-match training in accordance with the coach's requirements.
During training, cheerful laughter showed that the players had come out of the shadow of the previous defeat. After all, it was just an accident and should not be too relieved;
Seriously summarize the gains and losses of the game, learn lessons, quickly correct the mentality of the game, and do not put the losses of the moment and place first, but take the overall situation into consideration. This is the correct attitude to quickly integrate into this competition rhythm.
Lu Juren looked at the active team members, not overwhelmed by his frustration. He looked like a strict father seeing a sensible child, his frown brows slightly relaxed, and the blurred future in his heart seemed to be much clearer at this moment.
"Tomorrow night our opponent is the Hong Kong team. Although we cannot underestimate the enemy, we must objectively judge the true level of the enemy and me. Surprisingly, they actually killed from the group, but this will not change the true nature of their third-rate teams. We must recognize the limitations of their level. Therefore, I ask you to show your true level, give full play to the characteristics of the net-style play, and kill Hong Kong people beautifully without bloodshed!"
"I have already practiced the operation in the past two days of training. You can experience it carefully when you go back. I would like to remind you that our fierce battles are still in the next two games. We must be careful of accidents such as injuries and illnesses, and we must properly control our emotions. We should not compete when we are reserved."
Lu Juren glanced at Shi Yiming in a daze meaningfully and continued, "Although your captain cannot fight side by side with you, our team is a fighting whole. No matter who ends up appearing on the court, you must use your own efforts to reflect the power of this collective! Under no matter how you are fighting alone, you are not fighting alone, but this team, and even this country is fighting!"
With a gentle tone, Lu Juren began to get to the topic, "We should not resent the Iraqis for stealing our victory. On the contrary, we should thank them and let us see a team that truly fights for the country and the nation! No matter how successful the game is, this kind of team is worthy of respect. No matter how powerful the opponent is, I hope you can remember the lessons that the Iraqis taught you, and the 'Iraq Spirit' will never fade!"
"No matter how difficult the situation is, no matter how strong the opponent you encounter, you will move forward fearlessly and move forward again. This is the true spirit of football! In any game, as long as you play the essence of this spirit, I will be very proud to have brought out a great team, and of course I will not be dissatisfied with you at all!"
Since Wang Peng served as the team's technical coach, the players have found that Coach Lv has changed a lot, such words of encouragement were rare in the past;
The team members listened quietly and remembered, and were shocked deep in their hearts. They moved the coach's rare words, and were also moved by the "Iraq Spirit" praised by the coach, and felt the tenacity and indomitableness and hard work.
