Champion’s Heart

After the warm-up match with Jordan, the Chinese team continued to train. Gao Hongbo adjusted the content of the training. Before that, he had been conducting offensive training, mainly tactical drills.

However, after the previous few days of training and three warm-up matches, he found that for Zhou Yi, such training was of little significance. The most urgent thing instead became... to improve the players' ability to shoot.

So the S door training was put on the agenda.

Now Zhou Yi can lead the midfielder to create a goal, but if the striker can't seize the opportunity and score, it's useless.

So it is necessary to strengthen the s door training.

During this process, the Chinese Football Association also coordinated and communicated with the Borussia Dortmund club.

Dortmund agreed with Zhou Yi to participate in the Asian Cup qualifiers against Syria, but hoped that China would allow Zhou Yi not to participate in the subsequent qualifiers against Vietnam.

In this regard, the Chinese Football Association also agreed. After all, Vietnam's strength is weak, even if there is no Zhouyi, the chances of the Chinese team winning are very high. The most important game against Syria. As long as Zhou Yi can participate in the match against Syria, that's enough.

The two sides reached an agreement.

Zhou Yi only participated in the qualifiers against Syria, and then he will return to Germany immediately to participate in the league preparations.

※※※

On January 6, the Chinese team played against Syria at home.

This is the penultimate round of the Asian Cup qualifiers.

Before this game, Gao Hongbo was under tremendous pressure.

Because the Chinese team did not perform well in the two games against Lebanon. Although they won both, the victory was thrilling and did not reflect the strength of the Chinese team in front of Lebanon.

For this reason, before the game against Syria, Gao Hongbo shouted the slogan that the Chinese team will advance to the Asian Cup finals as the first in the group.

That means they have to beat Syria at home, even a draw.

For this reason, he urgently recruited Zhou Yi, who was emerging in the Bundesliga, into the national team.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi did not show discomfort in the national team, but quickly integrated into the team and became the core of the team.

Through the warm-up match against Jordan, Zhou Yi's performance made many people feel gratified.

With Zhou Yi joining. The chances of the Chinese team beating Syria at home are even greater.

In the game against Syria, because of his outstanding performance in the previous game, Zhou Yi did not appear on the bench again, but played!

Gao Hongbo didn't play any unexpected games this time.

Syria also strengthened its defense against Zhou Yi. They arranged for someone to mark Zhou Yi specifically.

But Zhou Yi was not surprised by this.

In the virtual game, he has already enjoyed such treatment.

After all, the head coach of Syria has watched the warm-up match between the Chinese team and Jordan.

For this kind of defense, Zhou Yi also has his own way to deal with it.

In other words, he doesn't have to think too hard about how to get rid of this defense.

He just needs to run.

Originally, Zhou Yi's running range was very large when he played football. After the range is large, it will be difficult for the players marking him to maintain the defensive pressure on him all the time.

Zhou Yi will retreat to the back line to handle the ball. The Syrian players marking him can't follow suit, can they?

In that case, they will have fewer people in the backcourt.

Even if Zhou Yi entered the frontcourt, he would not stay in one place, he would turn back and forth from the left, center and right, running non-stop.

This made the Syrian players in charge of marking him a little dizzy.

Because he didn't know the purpose of Zhou Yi's running at all, it seemed like he was aimless.

Many times, Zhou Yi would not catch the ball even after running over, and paused for a while. He turned and ran in the exact opposite direction.

The Syrian players in charge of marking him had to run with him again, and it is very likely that they would end up making a completely useless trip.

The Syrian player who was asked to mark Zhou Yi before the game began to feel that he was completely wasting his time.

He's here to play football, not jog!

After finally waiting for Zhou Yi to catch the ball, he rushed up as quickly as if he was bleeding, but Zhou Yi immediately passed the football away, and after passing the ball, he started to move to the next place.

And so began the seemingly endless jogging again...

The Syrian player who is in charge of marking Zhou Yi has his eyes on Zhou Yi almost all the time. He is not sensitive to the overall situation of the game, but if he can get out. He will find that his team has been suppressed by the Chinese team on the scene.

But how to suppress it, he didn't know.

In fact, in the process of running with Zhou Yi, the Chinese team passed the football back and forth, building up an advantage bit by bit.

The Chinese fans in the stands will cheer after a while. These are not all cheers for the Chinese team's door. More often, they are cheering for the wonderful passing of the Chinese team.

Inverted foot was not a pleasant word in the past, and it always reminded Chinese fans of the passive style of play that the national team frequently played in the backcourt.

But now, this has become synonymous with technology flow.

Represented by Barcelona, ​​football players pass back and forth, thus controlling the rhythm and initiative of the game on their own side. It is already a tactical trend that is highly respected in the football world.

How long a team can pass continuously is a true reflection of their level of possession.

Before Zhou Yilai, when Gao Hongbo's Chinese team faced a relatively strong opponent, it was difficult to pass multiple times in a row. Three or five passes might lose the ball, especially when they attacked the opponent's 30-meter area.

But now, the Chinese team can pass the ball continuously for a long time, and use this kind of pass to mobilize the opponent and achieve the effect of controlling the situation.

Under the dominant possession of the ball, the Chinese team broke the deadlock on the field in the 30th minute.

Yu Hai, who served as the center of the game, received a pass from Deng Zhuoxiang and opened the scoring for the Chinese team.

The cheers of the stadium reached the first peak of the game.

Although the ball was not assisted by Zhou Yi, Deng Zhuoxiang passed it after receiving Zhou Yi's pass.

Beautiful header! Yu Hai! After a series of consecutive passes, the Chinese team turned their advantage in possession into a goal!

After losing the ball, Syria was eager to equalize the score. After they kicked off, they launched a fierce offensive towards the Chinese team's half.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Yi seized their weakness of pressing forward and the defense line was relatively empty. In the 33rd minute, with a decisive through ball, he hit Syria with an anti-offside!

Zhou Yi! A decisive through ball! Yu Hai! He caught the ball! This is a counterattack! Duan Xin shouted excitedly in the commentary.

The Chinese fans in the stands were more excited than him. The cheers were loud.

Amid the deafening cheers, Yu Hai sprinted with the ball, gave full play to his advantage in speed, and threw away all the pursuers. into the restricted area of ​​Syria. Facing the Syrian goalkeeper who was attacking, he made a false move of s goal, then swiped the football sideways, changed direction and shook the goalkeeper away, and then pushed s!

The football flew into the empty goal!

2: 0! 2: 0!! Good goal! The Chinese team scored two goals in three minutes, confirming the advantage of two goals! This time it was Zhou Yi's assist! In the transition from defense to offense. His this one The foot pass is very decisive and precise! Zhou Yi! This is his first assist in the national team!

After scoring the goal, Yu Hai ran to the corner flag area, and at the same time pointed at Zhou Yi, asking Zhou Yi to come up and celebrate with him.

Zhou Yi ran over, the two embraced in front of the corner flag, and were immediately overwhelmed by the swarming teammates.

In the stands, the Chinese fans cheered loudly!

A year ago, after the Chinese team lost 2:3 to Syria in the away game, they were crushed by their opponents in the group.

And now, the fans of the Chinese team finally have the feeling of turning over and being the master.

※※※

In the first half, the Chinese team maintained a two-goal lead.

After the intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again. The Chinese team firmly controlled the situation by passing the ball.

Although the score has not expanded, but the scene is still dominant.

Duan Xin said with emotion in the commentary: How long has it been since we played so reassuringly in the lead?

It's been a long time, and the most experienced Chinese fans probably have to think carefully about this issue.

Maybe... never?

※※※

Starting from the 60th minute, Zhou Yi's physical fitness began to decline rapidly, his running on the court became less, and the success rate of opponents' defense against him increased.

Off the field, Gao Hongbo knew it was time to replace Zhou Yi.

After all, Zhou Yi's physical fitness is a problem, and he can't last the whole game.

So he made substitution adjustments.

In the 65th minute, Zhou Yi was substituted.

Zhou Yi, who was leaving, walked very slowly. Looks tired.

The Chinese fans in the stands all stood up, thanked Zhou Yi with applause, and saw him off.

Zhou Yi won the applause of the fans! He deserved it. His performance in the game is obvious to all! It can be said that he directly improved the performance level of the Chinese team! When Zhou Yi came to the national team to report, all of us would I am worried that he will not be able to integrate with this team in a short time. I did not expect Zhou Yi to complete the integration faster than light. Looking at his performance on the court, it really makes people think that he has already played in this team. It's been a year...

Only played four professional league games, was selected into the national team, and quickly became the core of the national team. If this was before the crackdown, it can be said that it is absolutely impossible to happen. Now, thank the country for cracking down on football Let us regain our confidence in Chinese football...

Now, Zhou Yi will not participate in the Chinese team's away game against Vietnam. His Asian Cup qualifier tour is over. Let us look forward to his performance in the Asian Cup! In addition, we don't have to wait too long. I saw his wonderful performance in the Bundesliga on the 18th!

Amid continuous applause, Zhou Yi finally walked off the court and completed his trip to the Asian Cup qualifiers.
