King of the Zone

After the Japanese team celebrated, the Huaguo team kicked the ball in the center circle. After the game restarted, the Japanese team quickly adjusted their formation and made substitutions. Even the striker was replaced by a central defender.

This time, it is really completely defending the bus.

Although until the referee blew the final whistle 4 minutes into stoppage time, the Hua Guo team did not score a single goal, let alone an equalizer.

However, ever since Cheng Hai carried the ball back to the middle circle to prepare for the kick-off, more than 5 fans in the stands shouted "Hua Guo must win" and never stopped.

Even after the game ended, the bright score on the big screen showed Hua Guo 2-4 Japan, and the fans did not stop shouting "Hua Guo must win".

Obviously, this is not everyone's expectation for the Olympic team's game, but the expectation for the future of Chinese football as a whole.

Especially when Cheng Hai took his teammates to the sidelines and bowed to the fans in the stands, the fans in the stands went crazy instantly!
The fans didn't leave for a long time. Cheng Hai and his teammates walked around the stands and interacted with the fans in every stand. The national anthem and the singing of the motherland were sung over and over again, and countless fans shed tears of excitement.

The national team was not scolded by the fans after a big loss, but also won the shouts and support of the fans. This is the first time in the national competitions at all levels in recent years.

Everyone knows that it was brought by Cheng Hai.

If Cheng Hai's two goals hadn't been there, and he hadn't been frustrated after the Hua Guo team lost the fourth goal and quickly called on his teammates to continue the game, I'm afraid the reaction of the fans after the game would have been another extreme.

After the game, the media did not criticize the Olympic team for losing, and even Wang Dalei’s big words were not criticized. The media and fans focused on the Olympic team’s spirit of continuing to fight and not being discouraged in the final stage under the leadership of Cheng Hai.

This kind of spirit and belief is long-lost in domestic football.

The performance of the Olympic team in the last few minutes gave everyone hope.

Of course, everyone has a famous watch, and this spirit was brought by Cheng Hai.

Therefore, even though Cheng Hai lost the first Olympic team game he participated in, his popularity has increased instead of falling, ushering in a bigger explosion in the country, and the number of fans can be said to have skyrocketed overnight.

And within the Olympic team, from the top team leader to the coaching staff to the players below, without Cheng Hai's knowledge, a big change was brewing.

The next morning, the Olympic team did not train, but held a summary meeting to summarize the problems and successful experience in the first group match.

it is necessary.

At the end of the summary meeting, head coach Sun Wei asked Cheng Haidao: "Cheng Hai, you played halftime for 45 minutes yesterday. How is your recovery today?"

Cheng Hai smiled and said, "Guide Sun, don't worry, I sleep very deeply every night, and I have completely entered a deep sleep. No matter how tired I am during the day, I will fully recover after one night's sleep."

Sun Wei nodded, murmured with several coaches, and said, "Then let's change the way you play. You start the game in the first half and play for 45 minutes. Then you can go back to the locker room to rest for 15 minutes at halftime and let the masseur give you a massage. Maybe you can last for another 10 minutes in the second half. What do you think?"

Cheng Hai and the other team members were taken aback for a moment, and the other team members looked at Cheng Hai, and their eyes immediately began to shine.

If this is done, Cheng Hai can play five or six 45 minutes per game instead of 10 minutes, which will not only increase the chances of his side scoring goals, but Cheng Hai's presence will also greatly suppress the opponent's defensive line and participate in the attack.

The probability of winning the Olympic team has undoubtedly increased a lot.

Moreover, since Cheng Hai said that no matter how tired he is during the day, he can fully recover after sleeping at night, so it is possible to try his best and score more goals during the playing time.

Once Cheng Hai can score a goal in the playing time to establish the lead for the Olympic team, if everyone just defends in the last time, the psychological pressure will be completely different.

One is to catch up when the score is behind, and the other is to defend when the score is ahead.One chasing, one leading, the feeling is absolutely different.

Therefore, the team members can't wait to raise their hands in favor of this proposal.However, the main thing is to see Cheng Hai, to see if he agrees with this proposal.

Although Cheng Hai is the youngest player in the team, with Cheng Hai's strength and the role he played in the first game, any tactics, even the head coach, must be discussed with him.

Cheng Hai has become the de facto core of the Olympic team.

Hearing Sun Wei's proposal, Cheng Hai was stunned for a moment, and then his heart skipped a beat.

What is his purpose for insisting on returning to China to compete and forcing the club to finally release it?It is natural to use my own strength to help the Olympic team win more victories and go further, and it is best to win the championship in the end.

If he can get more playing time, it will undoubtedly be of great significance to the Olympic team's victory.

Even if you can't run anymore, if you stand on the field for one more minute, the opponent's defender must be extremely afraid and dare not press down and participate in the attack.

Therefore, Cheng Hai was also very moved.

In addition, the coach proposed that a masseuse give him a massage during the intermission to restore his strength, which made Cheng Hai think of another way.

Because he used to come off the bench in the second half in Dortmund before, and he could only play two or three 10 minutes. He never played in the first half and then recovered during the intermission, so Cheng Hai didn't try this method either.

But this time coach Sun Wei's proposal made Cheng Hai think of another way.

He quickly asked the system with his mind, if he could enter the locker room for more than ten minutes of dream training, that is, deep sleep, during the intermission to restore some of his physical strength and energy.

To Cheng Hai's delight, the system replied yes, as long as the time was set, the system would automatically wake him up at that time, and there was no sequelae of not getting enough sleep.

However, because the intermission time is too short, Cheng Hai will not gain any dream training experience.

Cheng Hai naturally doesn't care about this, and he doesn't care if he can gain dream training experience during this time, as long as he can enter the dream training, achieve deep sleep, and recover his physical and energy goals.

According to the prediction of the system, Cheng Hai played the full 45 minutes of the first half, and then went into a deep sleep in the locker room for 10 minutes to recover his mental and physical strength during the intermission. He could play at least ten more minutes in the second half.

Cheng Hai was naturally overjoyed to get this positive answer, and immediately replied affirmatively to coach Sun Wei: "Director Sun, I have no problem here, and I will follow the coaching staff's arrangement."

Sun Wei and the others were immediately overjoyed.

In this way, Cheng Hai will spend more time on the court, and the Olympic team can be in the leading position with a high probability. It will undoubtedly be much easier to make final tactical adjustments after Cheng Hai leaves the court according to the degree of the lead. It is much better than catching up after falling behind by a big score like today.

The psychological pressure on the players is completely different.

Cheng Hai thought his matter was over, but he never expected that after the matter was over, Sun Wei said again:
"Cheng Hai, there is another matter. According to the discussion of our coaching staff, after obtaining the consent of other players and superiors, and you agree to start the next game, we have decided to appoint you as the first captain of the Olympic team. You will lead everyone to play, and complete the ceremony of exchanging team flags and picking sides."

Hearing that he was being appointed as the captain, Cheng Hai instinctively shook his head and refused: "Director Sun, this is not acceptable. I am too young, and it is estimated that I will not be able to return to China to participate in most competitions in the future. This is not appropriate."

As a result, Lu Peng, the first captain and midfielder of the Olympic team, said:

"Cheng Hai, don't refuse. This is a matter approved by all our coaches and players, and I am also willing to let Xian."

"Although it is said that you are the youngest, in fact we are all players of the appropriate age for the London Olympics. The oldest is only 89 years old, not a few years older than you."

"Besides, we are all convinced by your achievements in Europe and your performance in the first group match."

"The most important thing is that your charisma and leadership in the game against the Japanese team not only revived our morale, but also prevented the fans from swearing when we lost, but cheered us on until the end of the game."

"This is rare in the national football competitions in recent years."

"Therefore, you are definitely well-deserved to be the captain. Regardless of the team, public opinion, or fans, there is absolutely no objection."

"This is not only an honor, but also a responsibility. It is what everyone expects of you. I hope you will lead us to achieve good results in this Asian Games and in the Olympic and Asian preliminaries and Olympic Games."

"I hope you don't refuse."

Others also talked in a hurry, as if Cheng Hai dismissed the captain because he was not patriotic and unwilling to lead everyone to victory, so Cheng Hai couldn't even find a reason to refute.

In the end, Cheng Hai could only be "forced" to accept this new appointment.

But after he accepted the position of first captain of the Olympic team, a stronger sense of responsibility and honor filled his heart.

No matter how many people scold the national football team, and dare not how many people are disappointed with the national football team, but as a former fan and current practitioner, Cheng Hai still hopes that the national football team will be good and achieve good results.

But now, he has this condition, has a system plug-in, and it is really possible to lead national teams at all levels to achieve good results, reverse the impression of national football in the hearts of fans, and even more likely to reverse the impression of football in the country, change the interest of young people in sports, expand the population base of football, and make beneficial contributions to the future development of Chinese football.

Thinking of these, Cheng Hai became even more motivated.

It doesn't matter if you lose the first game. In the next game, he will definitely lead the Olympic team to victory with a brand new identity and playing style, and strive to attack the championship.

There was only one day of rest between the first group match and the second group match. Then, on the evening of November 11th, at the same Tianhe Stadium, the second group match between the Chinese National Olympic Team VS Kyrgyzstan U10 National Olympic Team was about to begin.

An hour before the game, the reporters and commentators were all taken aback when they got the Hua Guo Olympic team's starting list for the game.

Because, Cheng Hai's name appeared on the starting list.

Cheng Hai started for the first time in his career.

The news immediately exploded, and the online media spread the news immediately, which also aroused heated discussions among countless fans in front of TVs and computers.

Of course, there are also people who are very annoyed, and that is the opponent Kyrgyzstan.

Because they planned their tactics with Cheng Hai coming off the bench in the second half, they didn't expect Cheng Hai to start the game, which caught them by surprise.

But this is also helpless. Football coaches are always fighting wits and courage. Guessing the opponent's tactical formation and starting list is one of the tasks of the coaching staff. It is natural to guess wrong.

When the appearance ceremony was held, an even more surprising scene appeared: Cheng Hai actually wore the captain's armband, walked at the front of the team, and led the Hua Guo Olympic team to play behind the referee team.

Cheng Hai, the youngest, actually wore the captain's armband of the Chinese Olympic team.

After the fans froze for a moment, huge applause and cheers erupted suddenly, and Cheng Hai's name was chanted neatly by more than 5 fans.

Seeing the fans cheering and shouting his son's name, Xi Yulin was extremely excited, a little confused, and asked Xi Huabin, "Hua Bin, what's going on? The game hasn't even started yet, why are everyone so excited?"

Xi Huabin patted his arm excitedly and said: "Auntie, look at Ah Hai's arm, there is an armband on it! That is the captain's armband of the team, which means that Ah Hai has become the captain of the U23 national team."

Xi Yulin's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded happily, "Okay! Son is doing well!"

Then, he followed the fans and shouted his son's name.

Of course, others are the voices of admiration for Cheng Hai, and her voice is full of pride.

On the court, Cheng Hai, who was first starting and captain for the first time, also felt very excited and proud. When singing the national anthem, he completely let go of his voice and sang loudly.

This is his first start in an official game, the first time he participated in the appearance ceremony, the first time he sang the national anthem, the first time he took a photo with the starting players, the first time he shook hands with referees and opponents, and the first time he participated in the side-picking ceremony.

A strong sense of responsibility and honor filled Cheng Hai's whole body.

Everything is ready, the game is about to start.

2010年11月10日傍晚19:00，在天河体育场5万多球迷的欢呼声中，随着主裁判的一声哨响，2010年羊城亚运会男子足球A组小组赛第二轮华国VS吉尔吉斯斯坦的比赛正式开始。

The Huaguo team played extremely difficult in the last game, and lost by a big score in the end, but this game is quite different.

Kyrgyzstan's FIFA ranking is much lower than that of the Chinese team, and its strength is weaker than that of the Chinese team. The same is true for the Olympic team.

Coupled with Cheng Hai's factor, the Hua Guo team showed an aggressive posture from the very beginning.

Although Kyrgyzstan shrank its formation and played a dense defense, the Huaguo team quickly opened the scoring and broke the deadlock.

It was Cheng Hai, whom everyone had high hopes for, who scored the goal.

In the 8th minute, Cheng Hai occupied a position in the penalty area with his strong physique. He received the pass from Pu Cheng with the push of the opponent's defender, and then stopped and turned around.

Because this shot was a half-turned shot, Cheng Hai couldn't even see where the goalkeeper was, but just subconsciously swept towards the goal, without any angle, and went straight to the goalkeeper in the middle, which should have been impossible to score.

But luckily, the moment Cheng Hai finished shooting, the guard behind him also stretched out his feet, trying to clear the siege and destroy it.

As a result, although he touched the ball, he did not break the ball out of the bottom line, but only slightly changed the line, and then flew into the right side of the goal under the desperate gaze of goalkeeper Agapov.

In the 8th minute of the game, the Huaguo team took a 1-0 lead.

More than 5 Huaguo fans in the stands immediately stood up, and warm applause and cheers filled the entire stadium.

In the commentary seat, the commentator of CCTV-5 also said excitedly:
"The ball is in!"

"Eight minutes into the game, the Hua Guo team scored a goal."

"It was Cheng Hai, whom everyone had high hopes for, who scored the goal."

"This is Cheng Hai's first start in an official game, including the club and the Olympic team."

"Moreover, Cheng Hai also wore the captain's armband of the Olympic team."

"I believe that fans across the country will not object to this."

"And the new Olympic captain did not disappoint us. He used a half-turned shot in the penalty area in the 8th minute of the game to give us a 1-0 lead."

"Today's game, we should win."

Fans in front of TVs and computers all over the country, listening to the commentator's commentary, nodded repeatedly while celebrating, and liked Cheng Hai even more.

On the court, Kyrgyzstan, who fell behind in the first 8 minutes, was in a hurry.

Because they lost to Malaysia in the first game, and in the last game they faced a 4-2 victory over China and Japan, the strongest team in this group, the probability of losing is also very high.

If they can't win this game, they will be eliminated from the group stage, and they won't even be able to win the third place in the four groups with the best results.

Therefore, in addition to strengthening the marking of Cheng Hai, Kyrgyzstan also began to counterattack.

However, due to the gap in overall strength and Cheng Hai's suppression of the defense, Kyrgyzstan has never been able to launch any threatening offense.

Instead, the Hua Guo team scored another goal in the 25th minute.

This time it was not Cheng Hai's first shot, but the left back, the Uyghur guy Mai Tijiang suddenly put in an assist.

The attack from the side pass and Wu Xi's header attracted the attention of most of the opponents, and he forgot to mark Cheng Hai for a short time, allowing Cheng Hai to get rid of the guards around him in a change of direction and rush into the small penalty area.

It just so happened that Wu Xi's header was relatively straight and was saved by goalkeeper Agapov.

Before everyone could react, Cheng Hai rushed to the point where the ball landed, and before the ball hit the ground, he made a light shot and put the ball into the goal.
