Chapter 109 Fusion
On the morning of the 14th, the training of the Chinese team was underway at the No. 1 venue on the east side of the Consas Training Base of Zaragoza Club.
After a night of rest, the players were in good spirits and did not have that particularly obvious sluggishness. They could hear laughter everywhere in dining, training, dressing and other aspects. The Chinese team's mentality before the battle was relatively relaxed and did not be distorted and deformed by their strong opponents.
The official game was at 4 pm, so the Chinese team's training this morning seemed relatively easy, without a large amount of exercise in confrontation training, just a simple pass and control practice, set-piece tactics, shooting practice, and of course, there are also special practices for penalty kicks.
Listening to the cheerful laughter of the players during training from time to time, Lu Juren, standing on the sidelines, buried his head in his notebook to record relevant points. The book contains a training plan for the match against Argentina. The attached notes record the changes in the team's formation and player performance in detail. The dense fonts outline the rigorous personality of Lu Juren, a local coach.
After arriving in Zaragoza, the team's training content was all formulated based on the characteristics of Argentina. The core content was to strengthen pressing and disrupt the opponent's transmission rhythm as soon as possible;
Judging from the training effect, the players have a firm tactical intention, but Lu Juren is still not sure enough. In the face of his opponent's powerful ball-control advantage, how many points can the Chinese team's tactical attempts be achieved? Specifically, how long can the Chinese team's crazy way of sacrificing physical strength last?
When Chinese teams used this method of siege when facing technically strong teams, in the second half, Chinese players who could no longer run could only be slaughtered by their opponents;
After a long-term systematic and scientific physical reserve and several fierce battles, this young Chinese team has improved significantly. Chinese players who have begun to consciously allocate physical fitness have the confidence and strength to persist in the entire game.
But this is a situation where there is not much difference between them. Asian-level teams like Iran, South Korea and Japan can barely fight with their outstanding physical fitness and fighting awareness, and can still persist in the face of simple European teams like the Czech Republic;
Facing a Latin style team like Spain, the Chinese team's disadvantages are clearly visible. And Argentina, who is about to face, plays the purest South American technical football, what should the Chinese team make?
The surrendering method of not fighting or robbing is not advisable, and fighting like a stick is too reckless. For weak teams, how to coordinate the contradiction between fighting and not fighting has become the key to making a difference in the game against strong teams.
Lu Juren has his own ideas. He firmly resists the blind mad dog playing style of the national team. His team must make a difference. Even if his skills and consciousness are not as good as his opponent, he must win the respect of his opponent in terms of spiritual quality;
He understands the strength of the defending champion Argentina, and he doesn't expect the team to perform a miracle again. He just wants to leave in a decent way.
In the targeted intensive training in the past two days, one thing he has not mentioned is the issue of red and yellow cards for the players.
In fact, when facing strong European and American teams, Chinese players who are not as good as others can often use Chinese kung fu-style rough movements to stop their opponents from attacking. This national youth team has suffered from red and yellow cards since the Asian Youth Championship;
Since entering the World Youth Championship, the chaotic card-eating situation in the group stage has been washed away after entering the knockout round. In the first knockout round with Japan, Ma Kang received a yellow card again;
The red and yellow card regulations for the World Youth Championship are that a total of two yellow cards are suspended for one game, and a red card is suspended for two games. For the Chinese team that has not changed after repeated instruction, this non-combat reduction is the biggest threat.
The coaching staff has realized this issue and feels that this issue should be emphasized specifically, but at the same time, they also realize that the Chinese team that accidentally entered the quarterfinals is a team with a serious lack of security;
With the strength of the license, they cannot be sure of what step they can go. Perhaps the return date will be tomorrow, if they are afraid of it;
They dare not expect the semi-finals, so they can only encourage the players to take a try. At this moment, they emphasize attention to problems such as getting cards, which is tantamount to self-destruction.
"Old Lu." Wang Peng, who walked over from a distance, asked softly.
Lu Juren did not look up, responded "Yes" and asked, "How is Zeng De's situation?"
"The recovery is quite ideal. If you come on stage, it should be fine." Wang Peng had just returned from visiting Zeng De from the hospital.
The diagnosis of local Spanish doctors is recommended to observe for another two days, and then officially issue a rehabilitation diagnosis after confirming that it is not hindered. Wang Peng knew that under the current nervous personnel situation, he was facing a strong enemy, and the main goalkeeper became the number one target that Lu Juren expected.
Lu Juren heard the hesitation in his tone and understood the current situation somewhat. He could only grit his teeth and continue to write.
Although he was eager to return in the game against Argentina, this is not the same as not emphasizing the issue of red and yellow cards before the game. Emphasizing red and yellow cards before the game is an urgent task, while deliberately avoiding it has become a flexible expedient approach;
Facing Argentina to send a main goalkeeper is a way to enhance the insurance coefficient, but this is at the cost of Zeng De's health being threatened, and this is a bet on the future of the young goalkeeper, which is too expensive.
"What are the actions of the Football Association?" He didn't have too many ideas about Zeng De's appearance. After receiving a confirmed reply, Lu Juren gave up and shifted the topic away.
"I just contacted Deputy Gao. He said he didn't want to disturb our training too much, so he didn't come here to mobilize before the game. He hoped that we could relax our mindset and play our own style and level." Wang Peng replied.
Lu Juren smiled contemptuously and said, "It seems that Shen Tou and the others still don't have much confidence in us, hum."
Wang Peng looked at him and asked, "So Lao Lu, why do you think of this game? The training arrangements for the past two days are very targeted, and you are very determined!"
Lu Juren said lightly: "Since you are here, just play it carefully, either don't do it, and do your best if you want to do it."
Wang Peng looked at the players playing net-style football happily in the distance and said calmly: "I believe they can create history, just like, I will always believe in you, Lao Lu."
After saying that, he turned his head to look at him and stretched out his right hand.
Lu Juren stretched out his right palm, slapped his old friend's palm vigorously, and made a clear "pop", looking at a rising sun in the air, and said meaningfully: "I believe it too."
Zhu Liye faced the ball kicked by the opposite side, and used his left foot to lightly move the ball to the front right obediently, put his right foot upward, and used his right thigh to cushion the ball to the top of his head. He shook his head gently and the ball flew to the middle;
Luo Xian in the middle looked at it with a barb, kicking the ball directly across the opposite side. As the ball flew out of bounds, Pan Jun, who was leading the team training, blew the whistle to close the fuck, and the Chinese team ended today's training.
Luo Xian has confirmed that he has entered the 18-man roster, and the depression outside the previous roster has improved a lot. In the objective situation where Ma Kang firmly occupies a single striker after his comeback, the competition between Sun Xinji and Luo Xian, two regular strikers, is mainly concentrated on entering the 18-man roster;
After the team established the wing tactics, high center forward Sun Xinji had an advantage over Ma Luo Xian. After the arrogant Luo Xian realized the situation, he could only wait for the opportunity to appear. He was careless and seriously summarized his many shortcomings and restrained a lot in his usual training;
Perhaps feeling his changes, Lu Juren put him on the bench list with Argentina. The happy Luo Xian performed more positively in training, and his good performance personality still couldn't help but breathe. An exaggerated barb attracted criticism from everyone.
"Damn it, do you think you are playing indoor five-a-side system, and you have barbs!" The mortal enemy Zhao Yue was separated from him, and looked at his sensational fox tail and couldn't help but reveal it again, and seized the opportunity and scolded him hard.
"Bird hair is so big that it is so nervous that it is just a playful thing to relax your nervous nerves." Luo Xian had already realized that his mistake was wrong, but when he saw that it was his opponent, he didn't accept his lesson in his heart, and he even wanted to argue with him with a bit of bullet.
"At present, don't do such difficult moves in the competition, as it is difficult to ensure that there is no accident." The steady Song Min did not agree with this big move, and her gentle tone contained the meaning of dissuasion.
"Mom is hippie, it's been a few days since she's serious. Once she enters the list, she doesn't know that the world is so strong that she doesn't want to live anymore, right?" Liu Li was impatient, and his tone was not as gentle as the deputy captain.
"Actually, it's nothing. After practicing all morning, my body has been moving, and there is no big problem with the hook." Zhang Chang was the only one who spoke out to defend him. After saying that, he blinked at him specifically. Luo Xian stuck out his tongue at him with relief.
Some of the people joked about each other and covered each other. The split aura of the past faded a lot, and the team's aura became a little more.
The last part of the training is that the players jog together, which can relax their tight bodies and improve flexibility, and it can also facilitate players to exchange training experiences.
Luo Xian slowly landed behind the large army, and his lonely figure was just like his former self. Long Tian understood his current mood very well, so he consciously slowed down and gradually approached him, comforting: "Xian, are you okay?"
Luo Xian shook his head and did not answer.
The nervous Luo Xian is not the kind of heartless person. Seeing that Long Tian, who was in a worse situation when he first joined the team, is now doing well, but he is gradually sinking, and has now become happy to be on the 18-man list, he is really uncomfortable.
"Hey, I was playing with barbs happily just now. Why didn't I want to say anything when I saw me? Haha, Xian, this is wrong!" Long Tian tried hard to arouse his desire to talk in a playful tone.
Luo Xian smiled bitterly: "God, you have to work hard, I'll be optimistic about you."
Long Tian heard the bitter taste in his words and comforted him: "Xian, don't give up on yourself. You have always been very confident. Now this dejected look is not like you at all!"
"No, no chance, hey!" Luo Xian had reached the lowest point and looked at the future of himself and the team extremely pessimistically.
"You're going to be the best! The coach arranged for you to be on the 18-man roster, but wasn't it just a preset plan to use your speed to advance? What's the opportunity?" The voice came from the side, it was Ma Kang.
His words were pertinent, and the motivational words he said seemed very powerful. Luo Xian looked at him unconfidently, thinking about something.
When Long Tian saw that he was touched, he immediately responded: "Yes, yes, Ma Wuye (Ma Kang has had the nickname of "Fifth Master" in the team since his five-goal feat in a single game). He always speaks in one word. He said that if you have a chance, you will definitely have a chance!"
When Ma Kang saw that he was dazed, he knew that his words had worked. He glanced at Long Angel, then threw a sentence and ran forward: "The sky has not yet collapsed. It is the best way to perform well. If you are still dazed on the court, then it will be that the sky is really falling!"
Looking at Ma Kang's back as he left, Luo Xian stared at him for two seconds, looked at Long Tian and said, "I, do I really have a chance?"
"Yes, of course there is. Didn't you hear Ma Kang say it just now? You should show it well."
"Oh, then how can I perform better?"
"Well, if you go on the court, Ma Kang will give you a lot of opportunities to do the ball, and you have to run quickly to pick up the ball."
"Run quickly, right? Then I'll run now!" As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xian ran forward and kept making faces to Long Tian. "If you can't catch up with me, you can invite me to drink water when you go back to the hotel at noon, hehe!"
Seeing that his unruly habit was coming again, Long Tian knew that his mood had recovered a lot, so he followed him with confidence and responded: "Hmph, you actually dare to rush forward, it would be strange if I catch up with you!"
