The strongest ace coach

Chapter 166 The fighting spirit is quite high!
Chapter 169 The fighting spirit is quite high!

Shevchenko chose Hao Junmin as the starting target to strengthen the control and passing ability of the midfielder.Uzbekistan is not good at possession, so Shevchenko believes that England can control midfield possession.

Uzbekistan scored the first goal as England gradually took control of the game.

In the 22nd minute, You Hai's midfielder was stolen, Uzbekistan quickly counterattacked, Ahmedov shot from the left, and the football hit Mei Fang's body, causing a strange refraction.The football passed Zengcheng's head and landed on the goal.

Uzbekistan leads 1-0.

It was England's first goal in the Asian Cup.

After conceding the ball, the England team was in no hurry.Shevchenko's 9-month coaching career has achieved initial results, at least now the team will not panic because of losing the ball.

The England team is still gradually organizing its own offense.

In this game, Luo Ming's defensive pressure was much greater than last time.Next to him, Ahmedov and Heidarov followed him closely.

But Luo Ming was not in a hurry.In Europe, he encountered more defensive pressure than that, and when the two got close, he looked calm.

Catch the ball, pass the ball, protect the ball.He did it subtly, as if there weren't two defenders around him.

But it is undeniable that the existence of two defensive players does limit Luo Ming's performance-because the opponent's defensive pressure is not very great for him to catch the ball, the focus is to defend him from turning around and shooting.

Luo Ming also participated in the team's offensive organization very freely, as if he was not in a hurry to shoot.

However, before the end of the first half, when Romin was about to turn around after receiving the ball, Ahmedov immediately became alert, and he immediately diverted his attention to block Romin's shot line.

However, Luo Ming just made a fake move.He nudged his right foot to the curb.

After receiving the ball on the right side of the penalty area, the ball was picked up directly.

In the air, Romin kept Uzbekistan desperate and Tarzan towered over to help England equalize.

After the break, Uzbekistan suffered another blow.Huang Bowen fired a long shot from inside the penalty area outside the penalty area.

Penalty kick!
Luo Ming stood at the penalty spot. As the captain and core of the team, faced with such a free throw opportunity, of course he would not let it go.

Although Luo Ming has not specially practiced penalty kicks, in fact, penalty kicks are not a big technical test, but mainly a psychological game.

In this regard, Luo Ming has always been very relieved.He didn't even run and shot straight into the top left corner.The goalkeeper has no choice.

worthless!
England overshot the score.

After taking the lead, the England team played more calmly.Uzbekistan's quick side attack advantage was completely out of control under the control of England's midfield.

At No. 80 minutes, England went to the next city.After stopping the ball in the chest, England turned and shot, and the football flew into the net again.

Three to one, Luo Ming has a hat trick!

In another match, Saudi Arabia beat North Korea 4-1, which was good news, meaning England advanced to the first round.

The last round of the group stage has completely lost its meaning for the England team.
-
The last team to lose meaning in the group stage was North Korea.

North Korea lost their first two games and they were completely out of the tournament.Therefore, their role in the final round has lost its meaning.

The final round of the group stage was a battle of honor for the North Korean team.

For the England team, it is really inexperienced to have no pressure in the last round of the group stage, let alone a large international event like the Asian Cup.

The team played early, causing a football whirlwind in England.

Almost all the media have reported England's Asian Cup events on a large scale, and news about England will soon flock to various popular news search lists.

From this perspective, football should be the number one sport in the world.Even in a football environment like England, the impact of football is difficult to compare with other sports.

In the past, many fans made up paragraphs to mock the England team.

Team Game 1: Key Battles.

The second group of games: the battle of life and death.

Team Game 3: Battle of Honor.

But in this game, England left the battle of honor to others, leaving the first team early.

"Before the first team leads, dare you think?"

It was a successful news headline.From this headline, we can see how much surprise the England team has brought to the fans.

before the match against the north

Shevchenko, still recovering, also appears on the list.It seems that Shevchenko still has considerable confidence in Shevchenko.

The other candidates were largely less of a surprise.Shevchenko's main players have been relatively fixed since he took office.

There is no doubt that Guangzhou Evergrande has the most players.Nine players from Guangzhou Evergrande were called up to the national team.

In terms of defense, Shevchenko basically impressed Guangzhou Evergrande in the middle and backcourt.

Goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, right back Zhang Linpeng, two center backs Feng Xiaoting and Meifang, and left back Li Peng.

Due to the long-term injury of Korean foreign aid Kim Young-kwon, this season, the league has not played many games.This line of defense is basically the main line of defense for Guangzhou Evergrande this season.

In addition to the midfielders Shevchenko, Huang Bowen, Gao Lin, and Yu Chao in the frontcourt, there are 9 players who were selected into the national team from the same club in one go, which is rare in the history of English football.

Some would question Shevchenko's cronyism if it weren't for Shevchenko's World Cup glory.

Fortunately, no one has found the current eruption point of the national team, so the England team trained in Guangzhou for a period of time under a mild public opinion environment.

They did not leave Australia until December 12.

What they can achieve when they return from Australia, it is not yet known whether they will be greeted with flowers, applause or insults.

...
-
In the first round of the group stage, England beat Saudi Arabia 4-0.Thanks to the other game in the group, Uzbekistan beat South Korea 1-0, and England temporarily lead the group on goal difference.

Uzbekistan is England's second opponent in the game.

In terms of strength, the strongest opponent in this group is the Central Asian team.Uzbekistan is the legacy of the Soviet Union. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan’s Soviet heritage is not as good as that of Russia and Ukraine, but it cannot be underestimated, especially the youth training system established by the Soviet Union, which has been maintained by Deutsche Football Club.Part of Uzbekistan until now.

Although Uzbekistan's football style still seems to be stuck in the 90s and [-]s, which is somewhat incompatible with the rapid development of modern football, the combat effectiveness of a team with a mature system cannot be ignored.

In the second round of the group stage, the two teams with 3 points will face each other directly, which will be a key battle to determine the direction of the team.Neither side dared to be careless.

Naturally, Uzbekistan does not need to say too much. They are in the strongest lineup and strive for victory.

On the England side, Shevchenko made only one personnel adjustment.Hao Junmin from Shandong replaced Cai Hui and appeared in the starting lineup.

Captain Andriy Shevchenko remains on the bench.

From Shevchenko's point of view, Shevchenko can play a big role on the court, but when Shevchenko was just recovering, he was unwilling to take the risk of the 35-year-old veteran.Shevchenko's presence is more to help Shevchenko manage the locker room.

Shevchenko's stature on the domestic football field, while he may seem like a bully at times, is indeed a role model for young players on a competitive level.

At the age of 35, he participated in 42 games in the Super League, Asian Championships and FA Cup last season, including 36 games.

With such a high attendance rate, it is hard to imagine a 35-year-old veteran whose peak period has passed.

But on the other hand, this is also the tragedy of English football.

Even the 35-year-old England player has never seen a young player who can absolutely replace Shevchenkoli in the midfield position.

The debt of English football in recent years has been too great.

...

For both sides, this game is one not to be missed.

For England, if it wins this game, it will open a three-point gap on its opponents regardless of the outcome of the rest of the group stage.In the third round of the group stage, if Saudi Arabia beats South Korea in another game, it can certainly occupy a spot early.England could also lock in the first round early.

Because in the case of the same score, the group stage is the focus of mutual competition.England have an edge over each other's performances with wins over Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia.North Korea have the same points in both competitions, so no comparisons can be made with England.

Of course, this is the ideal state.

The first thing England have to do is beat the opponents in front of them.

The Uzbekistan team, the most cautious is undoubtedly the two Asian football players Jeparov, although he spent all of his career in Asia, he was tossed and turned in Seongnam Ihwa Tuan, Ben Yudeko, Seoul FC.

Messi also scored a hat-trick in this round.Barcelona beat Córdoba 5-0 at home.Now Messi has 17 goals.

The league has played 16 rounds, and now the competition among the three forwards on the scorer list is getting more and more intense.

Atletico Madrid's away game against Bilbao is a late game in La Liga, but in the first half, Atletico Madrid didn't seem to be back to their best form, and when they entered the dressing room, they fell behind 0-1.

However, after the intermission, Atletico Madrid seemed to wake up. First, in the No. 407 minute, Griezmann directly scored a free kick to equalize the score.

In the 56th minute, Luo Ming scored a header into the penalty area, and Bilbao defender Gill opened his arms and fouled the ball.Atletico Madrid won on penalties.

Raúl García wanted to give Romin a penalty because the competition for the top scorer list was so intense that his teammates wanted to help him.But Luo Ming waved his hand and refused.He wanted the golden boot, but he didn't want to get it this way.

In the end, Luo Ming's free throw exceeded the score.

At the end of the game, in No.807 minutes, Luo Ming finally scored.

He turned around the penalty area line, hit the goal, and helped Atletico Madrid seal the victory!
The league's No.19 goal!
After the game, La Liga will enter the wintering period.

Luo Ming will temporarily leave the team for at least one month in the Asian Cup.
-
Having a league in Winter League is joy for the players.

Football consumes a lot of players.The European season is a multi-year, high-intensity, high-density competition that lasts for 8 to 9 months. This is a serious physical and mental test for players.A month or so of winter vacation gives players time to rest and adjust.

Atletico Madrid won all the way before the winter break, clinging to Real Madrid in the league and not trailing in the league.

This is undoubtedly a great joy for Atletico Madrid.

Prior to this, Shevchenko said in an interview: "Our players are no worse than any other team in Asia!"

The media generally believed that Master's remarks were an encouragement to international players, but accordingly, discussions about what the national team should achieve in the Asian Cup have also begun to heat up.

According to the previous goal set by the Football Association for the national team, it is to reach the top eight, that is to say, the group will be eliminated.

This goal seems practical.After all, England is no longer what it used to be, and Asian football is no longer what it used to be.Others are making progress, but we are still behind.

However, when someone roams, the atmosphere starts to get more subtle.Many media have mentioned that the England team should have more goals with Romin, for example, reaching the semi-finals.

On the first day of Luo Ming's return, a reporter asked about his goals in the Asian Cup.

To this, Luo Ming's reply immediately made the reporters look silly: "Of course it's still a problem, champion!"

Before the reporter reflected, Luo Ming continued.

"Shouldn't the championship be the goal of any game? We can say that, but that's the way it should be!"
-
"The goal of the national team is to win the championship!"

Soon, Luo Ming's words appeared on the front pages of major media.

As the vice-captain of the national team, his words are naturally regarded by the outside world as the collective will of the team.Because captain Shevchenko was injured in the last round of the league, it is not known whether he will be able to pay for the Asian Cup in time.Therefore, Luo Ming is likely to be the captain's armband in the Asian Cup in Australia.

Despite Romin, few in England expected the national team to win the Asian Cup.

After all, the decline of English football in recent years has made people less confident to ask for the performance of the national team, especially in official competitions such as the Asian Cup.

Although Luo Ming said that this is the direction of the national team's efforts, some people have doubts about it.

For example, a reporter from "Sports Weekly" asked in a column: "Does the current national team have the strength to win the Asian Cup?" I don't think so. Roming is very capable and can bring enough impact to the offensive end, but what about defense?You know, except for Luo Ming, what is the difference between the current national team and the national team that lost to the Thai Youth Army?
"Shevchenko is a man, not a god, he still needs to watch food and eat, can provide his personnel, these people can concede 5 goals against the Thai youth army, such defensive quality, anyway, it is hard to believe the country The team can make any breakthrough in the Asian Cup." How to make pickles taste like roast goose?

Also

Because Gerrard completely ignored him, Coutinho will play and Sterling will definitely be replaced.Gerard had not spoken a single word to him as he made his decision.

....
Rest time flies by.

Luo Ming walked out of the locker room very early.It has nothing to do with the outcome of the game.

When play resumed in the second half, Rodgers sat on the dugout as if he were an outsider to the game.

In fact, the same is true.Now the man directing the game has become Gerard.

Cetinho replaced Sterling and appeared on the left side of Liverpool's attacking direction.

The Brazilian star made a real threat shortly after he came on.

In the 49th minute, Coutinho sliced ​​inside with the ball on the left side of midfield and kicked it out angrily.

The soccer ball is pulled from the elevator ball and crashes into the air.

"Tricinho shoots!"

"Ahhh, Beam! The crossbar blocks his goal. It's Liverpool's most goals since the start of the game!"

"Brazil can create such a threat on the pitch, Liverpool's change is immediate."

He himself regrets that if he scores a goal, it will have a great impact on the game.

Liverpool were aggressive from the start.

Atlético Madrid is not weak, they put in quite a lot of attacking, both teams suddenly picked up a lot from the moment the whistle sounded in the second half.

Inspired by Romin's shot, Liverpool also started to push forward.

Within 3 minutes, it was Romin again.After receiving the ball from the side, he nimbly turned and passed Insua.Then he found Luo Ming's head in one go.

Luo Ming walked towards the ball, but the top of the ball was a little small.

Atlético de Madrid quickly revived.Rodriguez made a cross from the left, Romin's central defender flew to the center, and Mandzukic's center forward grabbed the point. Unfortunately, the football fell from his feet and failed to help Atletico Madrid open the score again.

Both parties came and went, and rumors spread at the door.

It looked like both sides could score at any point, or score.

However, Atletico Madrid's fate is on its side.

In the No. 603 minute, Atletico Madrid scored his ninth Champions League goal with a corner kick and Romin's header to make it 2:0.

As soon as the goal was over, Liverpool's momentum was largely thrown away.

Even if Gerrard boosted the morale of the Liverpool players by shouting on the pitch, it still didn't help.

Rodgers sat on the coach's bench, and even when he saw Romin head the ball into the goal, he didn't respond.

He knows that after today's dressing room, he has no future at Liverpool.

He sat drowsily on the chair.On the platform behind him, there were boos and insults from Liverpool fans.

These things were automatically blocked by him.

Neither side scored a goal in the ensuing game.

Liverpool lost 2-0 at home to Atletico Madrid, bottom of the Champions League group.
-
Atletico Madrid beat Liverpool with a second-tier line-up, and another game for the team was up and down.

At the end of the first half, Roma led Dortmund 1-0 at home, and in the second half, just before the game started, Roma scored again.

Roman morale is surging.They are five times Dortmund's previous goals.Now they are twice ahead of Dortmund.They also had two goals to Dortmund's two.In the past, Rome has balanced the differences.

Now Atletico Madrid is only one point behind Real Madrid, so they have to bite the bullet.If they lose, because of their own loss, Real Madrid will be four points away.

Such a gap, in Real Madrid's current state, will be difficult to catch up.

The season is already in the middle of the league as both Barcelona and Real Madrid are ahead of Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid beat Sevilla 3-1 at home, Ronaldo hat-trick, as Ronaldo did not score in the final round of the league, Ronaldo is in the top scorer list The gap in the field narrowed immediately.Victory after Ronaldo's victory over Ocher.Catch up, now they've both scored eighteen goals!
Take Zuo as the representative, this is also the opinion of quite a few people.After all, football is an entire sport, and Romin is a striker.His contribution to national defense is essentially zero.Under such circumstances, it is really difficult for the national team to improve their confidence.

...

After such arguments and discussions, the England team announced their 23-man roster and submitted it to the Asian Football Association for registration.

As England's only overseas players, Romin is one of them.

ps, uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh, shamelessly ask for the ticket, thank you!
