Chapter 293 Preparing for the Asian Cup

Chapter 138 Preparing for the Asian Cup
Atletico Madrid, who played one less player, failed to get the score back in the end.Li Qingshan worked very hard, but when he lacked support, he was not able to explode every game
And Atletico Madrid's luck was not very good. In the No. 60 minute of the second half, they even won a penalty kick, but Raul Garcia's penalty kick was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

The final score was [-] to [-]. Atletico Madrid almost relied on a corner kick at the last moment of the game, and Li Qingshan slammed the ball into the opponent's goal, but the current goal has little impact on the overall situation.

Atletico Madrid suffered their first defeat of the season at the Mestalla.

After this game, as Barcelona and Real Madrid won successively, Barcelona's points reached [-] points, leading Atletico Madrid by [-] points.However, Real Madrid has recovered recently. After a wave of winning streak, they scored [-] points, surpassing Atletico Madrid by one point.

And the second place in the league is actually Valencia. They have [-] points and are clinging to Barcelona by two points.

"Atlético de Madrid began to experience ups and downs in the league after the start of the Champions League group stage. In the last four rounds of the league, they only won one victory. Two draws and one loss caused them to fall from second to third in the league. [-]. On the defensive line, neither Oblak nor Moya can replace Courtois, which is why Atletico Madrid conceded more goals this season. Fortunately, in the Champions League, Simeone's team kept their consistency."

"This defeat shows that Atletico Madrid may not have enough bench depth to fight on two or even three lines. For Simeone, last season has been unable to replicate, and he must find a center of gravity for the team. Only now is the season Not long after the start, I think he will focus on the league. The difficulty of defending the Champions League is too great. You know, since the restructuring of the Champions League, no team has ever been able to do this!"

Football is like this, after the last UEFA Champions League, the media exclaimed that Atletico Madrid was unstoppable, but when you lose, the media immediately follow the trend
Fortunately, after this league game, FIFA International Match Day is here again.For Simeone, he now misses the days when Li Qingshan didn't have to participate in the national team competition at all last season.Spain and China are thousands of miles away, and the physical consumption of the players is too great. Even now, Simeone has not found that Li Qingshan's physical fitness is declining, but this does not prevent him from worrying.

Facing the call-up of the national team on the international match day, Atletico Madrid cannot stop it.However, since the Chinese Football Association is currently negotiating with Atletico Madrid about recruiting Li Qingshan to participate in the Asian Cup in Australia in January next year, the Asian Cup will not be held during the FIFA International Match Day, so it needs to be negotiated between the Football Association and the club.

Because there are still people to ask for, the Chinese Football Association also gave Atletico Madrid a lot of face. Originally, this time the Chinese teammates played two games on the international match day, which were against Jordan on October [-] and against Thailand on October [-]. the match of.Since the eighth round of La Liga will start on October [-]th, the Chinese Football Association agreed with Atletico Madrid that Li Qingshan not be allowed to participate in the match against Thailand on October [-]th. He only needs to return to China to participate in the national team training. After the warm-up match with Jordan on October [-]th, Li Qingshan can return to Madrid.

Lippi also had a purpose in choosing the Jordan team as his opponent in the warm-up match.

The 2015 Asian Cup will be held in Australia. When the [-] teams that have entered the Asian Cup finals are all decided, the grouping of the group has already come out.

The Chinese team is divided into Group B. The opponents in the same group are Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia and North Korea.Choosing the Jordan team as a warm-up opponent is obviously for a warm-up with Saudi Arabia.Jordan and Saudi Arabia are West Asian teams at the same time, and their style of play is similar.Although the Asian Cup is still three months away, for the Chinese team, this is already their most important event in the past two years.

The 2018 World Cup qualifiers have not yet started. When the Chinese team was eliminated early from the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, the national team basically had no official competition tasks, so even the warm-up East Asian Cup Cup, the national team has also sent a lineup to play.
For the fans, being able to watch an Asian Cup is already quite satisfying.What's more, Lippi's national team seems to be in very good condition now, and the Chinese team with Li Qingshan may not be invincible in the face of Australia, Japan, and South Korea.

Even the Chinese media think so.As China's close neighbors, Japan and South Korea are naturally used as objects of comparison.If it was the past, the Chinese team, which did not have any overseas players, would not have any players who could compare with the opponent.

The first is the South Korean team. The South Korean team has Ki Sung-yong and Sun Xingmin in the overseas team. Ki Sung-yong, who plays for Swansea, is a midfield defensive player that Swansea midfielders rely on, but Swansea and Atletico Madrid Obviously not one level.And Sun Xingmin plays for the Bundesliga team Leverkusen. This team is also currently competing in the Champions League. Sun Xingmin played twice in the Champions League and scored one goal. Compared with Li Qingshan's efficiency of four goals in two appearances, Nature is far inferior.Therefore, the Chinese media came to the conclusion that our Li Qingshan is the best of these two in terms of personal ability and collective honor.

As for the Japanese team, Keisuke Honda and Shinji Kagawa are their biggest players.Keisuke Honda joined AC Milan from CSKA Moscow as a free agent in January 2014. Surprisingly, he also put on Milan's No. [-] jersey at the same time.However, Honda, who wears No. [-], did not perform well in Milan. Coupled with frequent injuries, he has gradually become a frequent visitor on the Milan bench. Although AC Milan is an established giant, Atletico Madrid is an upstart in the Champions League. The comparison between the two is not at a disadvantage, and Li Qingshan is the absolute main force of Atletico Madrid, while Honda is indeed a substitute player.

As for Shinji Kagawa, since Ferguson retired, Kagawa has gradually lost his position at Manchester United. After Van Gaal took office, Kagawa returned to Dortmund from Manchester United in August this year.However, the performance of Kagawa, who returned to his old club, also fluctuated, and Dortmund also suffered a cliff-like decline in the Bundesliga.

Therefore, in the comparison with the Japanese team, the Chinese media also cited classics to fully prove that Li Qingshan has completely exploded Honda and Kagawa.Therefore, although the overall strength of the Chinese team is significantly different from that of Japan and South Korea, Li Qingshan is one position ahead of Japan and South Korea in this regard.

This year's Asian Cup, there is something to play!

Of course, the fans were easily persuaded by the media. Under the hype of the media, the Asian Cup three months later has also begun to be highly anticipated by the Chinese people.

In the game against Jordan, Li Qingshan started the game.As the veteran Zheng Zhi suffered an injury in the league, Li Qingshan took the captain's armband for the second time to play for the national football team.

Perhaps it was the blessing of the captain's armband, and the Middle East teams were helpless in the face of high-altitude balls. Therefore, with the help of Li Qingshan's two goals and two assists, the Chinese team defeated the Jordan team [-]-[-].

Then Li Qingshan left the team and returned to Spain.

The national team still has a game against Thailand.

This game originally had no special significance, but when thinking of the background of the [-]-[-] loss to the Thai youth team last year, many media also mentioned revenge.

Of course, if the final score of [-]-[-] is regarded as a successful revenge, then it is also worth being happy.
