Chapter 334 Winter in the Southern Hemisphere

The southern hemisphere has entered winter in June. Compared with the gradually soaring summer temperature in China, although it is winter, the temperature is only a few degrees lower.

The Chinese team came to Sydney four days in advance, and the venue of the game was arranged at the Sydney Olympic Stadium, where the Chinese team also had memories of the match with the Australian team before.

However, the members of the Chinese team in the formation at that time may only have a few logistics personnel left.

The stadium can host football games, as well as rugby games and some track and field competitions.The former peak capacity was 11 people, but now after some facility adjustments, it can reach more than 8 people.

On the day of the game, a large number of Chinese fans came to the stadium.As people say: wherever the Chinese team plays, there are Chinese fans.

In the afterglow of the sunset in Sydney, the red color on their bodies became a distinct landscape.

The Chinese team had finished warming up before the match and was making final preparations before the match. Cheng Youcheng had already finished speaking.

Apart from Fangzheng and Wan Xiaojiang, there are several players in the Chinese team roster this time who were selected for the first time. At the same time, the 18-year-old Wan Xiaojiang has also become the youngest player in the adult national team in recent years.

In terms of starting lineup, Cheng Youcheng made exactly the same starting lineup as the previous match against Iran.

The frontcourt, from left to right, is Yu Mai, No. 7 left winger, Mi Du, No. 9 center forward, and Kong Pengyu, No. 18 right winger.

The midfield is composed of Xu Wenli, No. 10 in the front midfielder, Di Xiaoliang, No. 6 in the central midfielder, and Mu Dingyong, No. 20 in the midfielder. The positions of Xu Wenli and Di Xiaoliang will change during the offensive and defensive transition.

In the backcourt, No. 5 Battelle serves as the "defense line commander" and partner No. 3 Yu Fei as a central defender. On the left and right are No. 17 Liu Rong and No. 22 Zheng Yubao.

The Australian team is a 442 formation led by Cahill David. For Cahill David, the national team teammates will "know" themselves better than the club teammates.

"Come on!" As an assistant coach, Zhong Weiguo was still full of passion. After Cheng Youcheng finished speaking, he began to motivate the players.

At this stage, the pressure on the players from the world preliminaries will only increase. In addition to some external incentives and guidance, the most important thing is that these players have to learn to adjust themselves.

The team members gave each other high fives again. Maybe in many days, they were "enemies", but now, they must be "comrades".

The pre-match ceremony ended with applause mixed with boos. Judging from the expressions of the players, the Australian team playing at home seemed more calm.

"Meet you again, you played very well last time." Cahill David took the initiative to greet Kong Pengyu, "Let's work harder today, this is our home stadium."

"Thank you, Thank you," the other party may have spoken too fast, Kong Pengyu only understood the first half of the sentence, thought the other party was purely praising himself, and quickly thanked him.

Cahill David was amused by Kong Pengyu, clapped his hands, and patted each other's shoulders.

The scene of the two of them patting their shoulders was captured by the camera, and the fans in front of the TV thought that the relationship between the two was pretty good.

"This kid." Zhong Weiguo saw Kong Pengyu and the opponent's actions from the sidelines, and said with a smile, "I've made progress again."

"This kid, apart from playing football, seems to have a higher EQ than before," Cheng Youcheng said aside, "Before, he was like a robot who only knew how to play football."

Compared with the previous game, both of them seemed to be a little more relaxed.

As the game started, the Australian team, which took the lead in attacking, launched the offensive quickly, and their passing and running positions in the offense did a good job.

In the 2nd minute of the game, under the lightning attack of the Australian team, the Chinese team was almost scored.

Partnering with Cahill David as a double forward is the "super high center forward" with a height of two meters - No. 9 Zambie.

Maybe a striker of this height, in some teams, is the choice in times of adversity, and is mainly used to compete for high points.

But Zambi is different. Both his club and the Australian national team regard him as a regular striker.In addition to his excellent ability to compete for high balls, he also has certain foot skills.

Zombie first received a long pass from his teammate in the frontcourt, resisted Battelle, the strongest in the Chinese team, and took a few steps with the ball, then suddenly crossed his legs and dunked the ball back to stop.

Battelle followed up again, but Ke Zombi knocked the ball back with his heel unexpectedly, which caught Battelle unexpectedly.

Cahill David rushed over quickly to block the ball. If the center back Yu Fei hadn't followed closely, he would have brought the ball towards the goal immediately.

The midfielder Mu Dingyong also ran down, "ambushing" behind Yu Fei, preventing Yu Fei from being too late to make amends after being broken through.

Cahill David, who has outstanding ball skills, did not love to fight. He quickly split the ball to the side and gave it to the right to follow up with his teammates.

On the 14th, the right midfielder Blow took the ball to the bottom, quickly adjusted his footsteps, and without hesitation raised the ball and passed it to the center.

Zombie suddenly started to accelerate, jumped from the penalty area line, and headed the ball hard towards the goal!

After passing the ball, he first pretended to sprint, then wandered slowly to the front of the penalty area, suddenly accelerated forward, and headed the goal!

The ball roared and hit the goalkeeper Lin Feizhuo's face. He quickly spread his feet apart, gathered his hands in front of him, lifted the ball upwards, and blocked the opponent's header!

The Australian team got a corner kick, and their average height has an advantage, which is one of the ways they are good at scoring.

"Follow people! Don't panic! Don't miss people!" Battelle reminded his teammates almost the same as Zhong Weiguo who shouted from the sidelines.

They are well aware that the opponent will use corner kicks to attack, and they cannot be distracted at all. Everyone must do their defensive tasks extremely well.

After the corner kick was taken, the Australian team did not send the ball directly into the penalty area, but was held by No. 5 Lal, who was ready to make a pass after the transition.

Near the sideline of the Chinese team's penalty area, Xu Wenli and Mu Dingyong hurriedly ran towards the two Australian players who were making corner kicks, trying to limit each other.

No. 5 Lahr who took the ball quickly passed the ball to his teammate who had run back a little distance. No. 14 Blow is a right-footed player, and his current position is very suitable for him to complete a cross.

After two transitions, the ball was passed. The purpose of Australia's doing this is obvious, that is, to make the Chinese team's formation a little loose.

This pass was once again given to the "air supremacy" of the Australian team, and Zombie once again hit the ball without any suspense.

Battelle stuck to the opponent like "chewing gum", dragged Zambie, and made his jumping ability not fully exerted, and hit the lower part of the ball, and the top was high.

"Hey!" Zombie complained to the referee after landing, and looked at Battelle viciously, thinking that Battelle had committed a foul.

The referee shook his head, thinking that Battelle's defense was fine. This was a non-foul defensive action.

Not long after the game started, the Chinese team felt Australia's "winter enthusiasm".

However, in the current situation, there is no time for them to "acclimate", they must quickly let themselves "overcome the discomfort".
