Chapter 137

The smoke of the World Cup has not yet ignited, but all countries are gearing up and preparing for a big fight.

Many European and American teams have come to East Asia in advance, preparing to adapt to the climate and environment here in advance, thus bringing some help to the team.

In this way, the warm-up match between the teams is inevitable.

In order to simulate the match between the two hosts, European and American teams have invited the Huaguo football team to warm up. Of course, they paid for it.

With such a good thing, of course Mi Lu agreed.

Collecting money is a trivial matter, and being able to compete with strong teams before the big game and try one's own weight is the main thing.

After screening, Mi Lu decided on three opponents for the warm-up match.

One is the United States team, one is the European Red Devils Belgium team, and the other is the Portuguese team.

The first team to come to Liaoshen City to get beaten up was the American team. This team was also a team that Mi Lu had coached, so they were old acquaintances.

The strength of the US team is not strong, but it is definitely not weak. In another time and space, they broke into the quarterfinals of this World Cup.

And because the Chinese team's opponents in the World Cup group match, Costa Rica and the US team are located in the same region, and their styles are relatively comparable. Therefore, choosing to warm up with the US team is also a targeted choice.

On May 5, a warm-up match was held at the five-kilometer course.

Because the World Cup is approaching, this warm-up match also attracted the attention of Hua Guo fans, and the entire stadium was packed.

In order to test the effect of the team's joint training in this game, the Huaguo team also played all the main players.

He Dong and Xie Rijun are on the front line, Du Shasha is the front midfielder, and the midfielder is iron-strength. Yang Chen plays the right midfielder, Ma Mingyu plays the left midfielder, and the four defenders are General Fan, Li Wei, Sun Hai and Wu Chen.

Probably because of her reputation, Du Shasha was marked by the US team at the beginning of the game. McBrand, who played in Fulham in the Premier League, followed her closely.

However, McBrand obviously didn't expect that Du Shasha's ability would undergo another earth-shaking change after only a few days of absence.

In just 6 minutes of the opening, Du Shasha easily got rid of McBrand's defense, broke through nimbly, and came to the US team's penalty area with a long shot, breaking through the US team's gate.

Seeing Du Shasha scoring goals so easily, Mi Lu was overjoyed. With such a treasure in her hands, Mi Lu felt that she was really lucky. This trip to the World Cup will allow her to relive her dreams again.

After conceding the goal, the US team quickly organized an offense. However, because they have not adapted to the East Asian climate, the players of the US team are still slightly insufficient in physical fitness, and the running positions of several attacks were obviously not in place.

The Huaguo team took the opportunity to launch an effective fight, and the scene was quickly controlled by the Huaguo team. Coupled with the speed of the two sides, the Huaguo team's offensive was higher than the wave, and the Huaguo team in the stands The fans were hooked.

In the 21st minute, Du Shasha took the ball in the middle and passed it alone, passing McBrand, and then split the side. He Dong used his iconic move to break through the bottom line from the side and then made a pass. Xie Rijun jumped high , overwhelmed Jones of the US team and scored with a header to rewrite the score to 2:0.
Although it was just a warm-up match, the team is so strong that it still makes Huaguo fans very excited. The Huaguo team has never qualified in the world preliminaries. Huaguo fans think that their team has reached the world level.

The coach of the US team, Arena, is not in a hurry. His goal is to discover the characteristics of the Asian teams through the warm-up match, so as to find a way to deal with them.

Ariana remembered very carefully, nodding while recording, while Mi Lu on the other side also nodded frequently.

After playing for half an hour, Mi Lu started to change players. He replaced He Dong with the young player Shao Jia, and at the same time signaled Du Shasha to move forward and let her play the shadow striker.

The US team then replaced veteran Jones with Donovan, and the team changed to 3-5-2 to strengthen the midfield fight.

The field gradually showed a balance of power, and the strong midfield strength of the US team quickly allowed the team to regain its feeling.

In the 35th, 38th, and 43rd minutes, the US team successfully intercepted in the midfield and launched a counterattack to threaten the goal of the Huaguo team. Fortunately, the joint blocking of General Fan and Li Wei had an effect. The old and the young have both experience and momentum Son, defuse the opponent's attack.

But this also fully exposed the weakness of the Huaguo team, that is, the lack of midfield strength, which can easily be used by opponents in high-level confrontations, thus putting the team in a disadvantageous situation.

Seeing this, Mi Lu decisively replaced Xie Rijun with Zhao Junzhe at the beginning of the second half, playing the card of double midfielders, while Du Shasha was the only one on the front line.

With such a formation, the two sides participated more in the confrontation in the midfield. The Hua Guo team, which was relatively disadvantaged in physical fitness, was at a disadvantage. However, Tieli's tireless running and Zhao Junzhe's replacement repeatedly blocked the Mi Guo team's attack.

After 70 minutes of the game, Mi Lu replaced Du Shasha. After all, it was only a warm-up match. Mi Lu needed to check the status of more players. This time, the young striker Li Jinyu was replaced.

Not to mention, Li Jinyu, who is good at seizing opportunities, had just entered the field, and during a counterattack, he made a very difficult half-volley shot. The ball went straight into the dead corner and the score was extended to 3 goals.

The game was completely killed, and in the following time, the American team also gave up their offense. The warm-up match must be reserved. Naturally, the American team will not be so stupid as to fight the Huaguo team.

However, the U.S. team took advantage of Li Wei's fall, and Donovan scored a goal in the 89th minute. The final score of the game was 3:1, and the Huaguo team won.

At the press conference after the match, Arena spoke highly of the Hua Guo team, saying that the Hua Guo team is the top Asian team and has the ability to wrestle with the European and American teams. Of course, he also said that his team The team has not adapted well to the climate and environment of East Asia, and the loss does not explain anything, and he has also found the weakness of the Asian teams. The stick football is similar to Huaguo football, and Arena is full of hope for the team's prospects in the World Cup. confidence.

Mi Lu thanked the team members for their efforts. Of course, he didn't take such a victory seriously. Mi Lu was the happiest when he discovered the team's weaknesses.

However, the domestic media exaggerated the victory of this game, and the media were all elated by the victory of the Hua Guo team, saying that the team already had the strength to reach the second round of the World Cup.

This kind of publicity also made the players of the Huaguo team besides Du Shasha a little ecstatic. They also thought that their strength seemed really good. The World Cup was not for travel, but for the championship.

Three days later, the European Red Devils Belgium team slapped the arrogant Huaguo player three times with a 3:0. There is no need to question everything.

The Hua Guo team is still a weak team. Once all the shortcomings are exposed, they will be torn to pieces by the opponent, there is no doubt about it.

Fortunately, the team's attitude was corrected in time, but Mi Lu smiled very happily after such a big loss.

Four days later, after the match against Portugal, the last warm-up match, the mood of the Hua Guo team had completely stabilized. The result of the 2:4 loss truly reflected the gap between the Hua Guo team and the European strong teams.

Blow, after all, it can't solve the problem!
