Chapter 162 The Opponent of the World Preliminaries
8 month 30 day.

The second round of Serie A is in full swing.

In the first round match a week ago, Lu Feng was still waiting for a transfer. Lazio beat Bologna 2-1 at home.

And in the second round a week later, Lu Feng still did not participate.

Because... the top 40 matches of the world preliminaries are about to begin.

In the first round of the top 6 match in mid-June, he did not participate due to a conflict with the schedule of the World Youth Championship. Fortunately, the opponent was only Bhutan. The Chinese team swept it 40-6 and won a good start.

In the Asian semi-finals in August, he did not participate in the transfer turmoil. The Chinese team, which had exhausted its main force, was still embarrassed in front of the second-tier reserve teams of Japan and South Korea. Fortunately, the North Korean brothers sent a warm welcome in time. As for losing face.

This semi-finals made domestic public opinion once again realize how important Lu Feng is to the national team, but he also shouldered more responsibilities and pressure because of this.

After all, the East Asian Final Four is a warm-up match, so it's fine if you don't participate. Now it's the top 40 match that concerns World Cup tickets. Even if the Football Association didn't ask for it, Lu Feng himself took the initiative to contact the national team leader Liu Dianqiu, hoping to buy tickets as soon as possible.

Yes, Lu Feng, who has an income of tens of millions of euros this year, equivalent to [-] to [-] million yuan, wants the national team to buy him a plane ticket, which is outrageous!
But Liu Dianqiu transferred the ticket purchase information within 20 minutes.

Lu Feng was very dissatisfied.

There are still tens of millions of poor households in China waiting to be fed, more than one billion poor people in Africa, and tens of millions of refugees in Europe and the Americas breaking through barbed wire fences every day. Why do you buy me first class? !
An author of a street football novel at the starting point, the sum of the manuscript fee for a year can't afford this first-class cabin! -
Lazio, which lacked Lu Feng, lost 0-4 to Chievo in the away game as in history.

The number of shots is 13-8, the number of corner kicks is 8-2, the number of free kicks in the front court is 11-4, the ball possession rate is 58%-42%, and the pass success rate is 83%-75%. Lazio has the advantage, but they just don’t score!
Coach Pioli believes that if Lu Feng participated in this game, with 8 corner kicks and 11 frontcourt free kicks, he would be able to seize at least 5 opportunities!
"It should have been tougher to keep him at the club!"

As soon as he thought about it, he immediately shook his head:
"The Chinese sponsors are already queuing up at the Rome airport. Even if I can be tough, the club owners who regard money as their life will definitely not agree!"
-
"Hi, District (pronounce 'Ou' as a surname)...leader."

After more than half a day of high-altitude bumps, Lu Feng finally arrived at the training place of the national team.

It was a coincidence that since the competition venue was in Shenzhen, the training venue was arranged in Qingyuan, Lu Feng's hometown.

The one who greeted him was Qu Chuliang, the deputy team leader. This former national team member can be regarded as an old face in the system, and he is also regarded as half of the goalkeeper coach in the team.

As soon as they met, Ou Chuliang told Lu Feng the bad news:

"Leader Liu fell ill in June, and he was rescued in the intensive care unit for more than half a month before his life was out of danger. He is still in the recovery period, so I will be responsible for the logistics services for these two games."

Lu Feng was stunned for a moment:
"When he replied to me several times...he didn't mention these things at all!"

Ou Chuliang lowered his gaze slightly:

"He has always paid special attention to your affairs..."

Lu Feng spat out the chewing gum in his mouth:
"Tell me his address, after the game... I'll go and visit."

Ou Chuliang raised his gaze:

"Okay, I'll make arrangements for you."

Lu Feng nodded.

Yes, don't buy first-class air tickets to the capital! -
Compared with the national team debut in March, this top 3 match is the real main force.

Team captains Zheng Zhi and Zhang Linpeng, who did not participate in the competition half a year ago, have finally arrived this time.

And the roommate who lived in the same room as Lu Feng was Zheng Zhi.

"I have two requirements. Do not smoke in the room and turn off the lights before 10 o'clock. If you feel uncomfortable, you can change it now."

As soon as the veteran met, he put on a face of seniority.

Lu Feng shrugged his shoulders:

"Yes, but I also have a request."

Zheng Zhi was taken aback. Given his status in the domestic football arena, few young players dared to negotiate conditions in front of him:
"what?"

Lu Feng smiled:
"Don't be too nasty on the phone with my sister-in-law. I'm still a child and I can't stand stimulation."

Zheng Zhi laughed silently:
"It's already an old couple, what kind of nasty words come from!"
-
Due to returning home early, when Zheng Zhi and others reported for duty, Lu Feng had already adjusted the time difference and was ready to start.

But ... coach Perrin did not put him in the starting lineup.

The French coach's reasoning is entirely conceivable:
"This group of players has been working together for two years. Before such a critical game, arranging new players will destroy this team tacit understanding."

This is the end of Perrin's coaching of the national football team. After experiencing the "success" of the Asian Cup in January, the French gradually swelled to the point of being overly sensitive and even a little headstrong.

For the sake of his personal authority, he even sidelined Gao Lin, the top striker of the national team and the top scorer in active service!

Hao Junmin, Zhang Xizhe, and Huang Bowen, who have been in good form recently (relatively speaking), did not even enter the squad. Instead, they recruited Zhang Chengdong who just joined La Liga Vallecano, did not play a game, and is still adapting to the rhythm. .

The team leader Liu Dianqiu is far away from his hometown in the capital, and Ou Chuliang obviously has no way to change the decision of the Frenchman. He can only lead such a team to the top 40 of the world preliminaries.

Their opponent is... the mighty Hong Kong team of China! -
September 9, evening.

The Shenzhen Baoan Stadium with a total capacity of 4 people is almost full.

Since this is a "civil war", players from both sides sang the national anthem to the music at the same time before the game.

The top leaders of the Chinese Football Association and the Hong Kong Football Association sat on the rostrum respectively. The former also thoughtfully arranged the famous female singer Tan Jing as the lead singer, bringing the majestic and passionate "March of the Volunteers" to its climax.

"Go ahead!"

Nearly [-] spectators sat back to their seats with excitement, and then...they enjoyed a very intense competition!

"Boom!"

In the 10th minute, Zheng Zhi volleyed from the outside and bounced the ball, and the ball hit the post!
"Boom!"

In the 14th minute, Zheng Zhi made a straight pass in the middle, and Yu Hanchao made a strong shot, and the ball hit the outside of the post and popped out.

Cai Zhonghua, chairman of the Chinese Football Association and Huo Zhenting, chairman of the Hong Kong Olympic Committee, who were watching the game on the spot, looked at each other and laughed. The scene was very friendly.

"Boom!"

In the 36th minute, Wu Xi slanted a long pass to instigate a fast break, Yu Hanchao volleyed to the right side of the penalty area and hit the goal in the opposite direction, the ball hit the post again!
"Boom!"

In the 44th minute, the Chinese team made a cross from the left, and Zheng Zhi lobbed the ball inside the penalty area and hit the crossbar!
During the intermission, Cai Zhonghua couldn't laugh anymore!

In the first half, the Chinese team made 19 shots and hit the goal frame 4 times. The ball possession rate reached 73%, but the halftime score was still 0-0!

He looked at Gao Lin and Lu Feng on the bench, and couldn't help but took out his phone.

He doesn't want to lose this game!
But to his surprise, 10 minutes after he gave the order, the Chinese team still had no response!

It wasn't until the 57th minute that Perrin played his first substitution card.

But... the person he replaced was still not the candidate in Cai Zhonghua's mind.

Huo Zhenting seemed to be smiling even more happily.

But Cai Zhonghua took out his mobile phone again.

He wants to take a look, who dares to stroke his beard in the one-acre three-point land of Chinese football? ! -
If extended in detail, the story that happened during these 20 minutes is enough to write a [-]-character novel about Chinese football and officialdom.

But this is a football field after all.

Sitting on the bench, Lu Feng was a spectator for more than 70 minutes, but watched a good show for 20 minutes.

He noticed that Ou Chuliang looked at the phone frequently, and each time his expression became more distressed, as if he was experiencing some kind of battle between heaven and man.

Until the 70th minute, the deputy team leader and goalkeeper coach finally made a decision.

Ou Chuliang glanced at Lu Feng:
"Go to warm up now, after 5 minutes, substitute!"

When Lu Feng stood up from the bench, Pei Lan, who had always had a tough attitude, suddenly turned pale!
It's not that he doesn't know Lu Feng's strength, he just wants to maintain his authority and tactics.

But when the Chinese coach decided to make a substitution without consent, Perrin already understood that the bottom line he insisted on was finally broken!
In this team, he completely lost the meaning of existence! ——
