Chapter 623: This is our World Cup

Although Dongfang Zhuo failed to reach the top of Europe, the domestic fans felt a little regretful, but they were delighted that Wang Feng still maintained a high level, and they were full of expectations for the upcoming Confederations Cup.

This originally slightly tasteless event is extremely important at this time. It is a touchstone for testing new teams and the only consolation for the defending champion who will not be able to participate in the World Cup next year.

After the club's championship celebration, the Chinese superstar flew directly to Brazil. He was the last player to arrive, and the head coach Lippi had been waiting for a long time.

The Italian gave him a big hug. The two had dealt with each other many years ago. Lippi is one of the coaches who know Wang Feng best. "With you, I have confidence!"

Prior to this, the Chinese team played several warm-up matches with European and South American mid-range teams. The record of winning more and losing less was not bad. The newly joined boys worked hard, and Lippi's tactical arrangements were fully utilized without any constraints.

But he always felt that there was a lack of finalists. Only when Wang Feng joined the team could the upper limit continue to increase.

After a short period of joint training, the Chinese superstar quickly integrated into the tactical system, and the best lineup in the head coach's mind gradually took shape. It is the four-three-three formation he is best at. The main goalkeeper Wang Xianghe, who came from the Genk youth training plan, is currently playing for the Turkish Super League. Zong sports.

The four defenders are Sun Xiang, who plays for PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie; He Mingzai, who comes from the Genk youth training program, who plays for AEK Athens in Greece; Zheng Zhi, who plays for Celtic in the Soviet Super League; Zhang Fanlin, who plays for England. A Sheffield United.

The three midfielders are all from the Genk youth training program. Feng Miao plays for Ajax in the Eredivisie. Yang Ronghua plays for Hertha Berlin. He has just been promoted to the first division with the team this year. Fang Yun plays for the Hungarian first division champion. Team Jere.

The three strikers Wang Feng, Dongfang Zhuo and Huang Hu come from the Genk youth training program and are currently playing for Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga.

Generally speaking, the offensive end of the whole team is slightly saturated under the background of traveling in Europe. Wu Lei, who plays for Ligue [-] Toulouse, is also on the bench. The defensive end is a bit weak. Therefore, Lippi prefers to retreat and participate in the defense in the Chinese superstar game. After all, his ability is obvious to all, so Wang Feng is naturally fine.

It is a pity that Gao Lin, Chen Tao, Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Xuri and other outstanding players who once played side by side with Wang Feng in the World Cup in South Africa gave up traveling in Europe and returned to China to join Hengtai due to the stable environment and high salary.

This in itself is understandable, everyone can have their own pursuits, but the strength of a few people can be seen to decline rapidly, coupled with the principle that the main players who are not in Europe are not international, I am afraid that they will not be able to continue to play in this life.

Of course, it’s not that no one stood up to speak for them. I have to say that Hengtai is quite powerful and wants to further increase the influence of the club through the international football team, but the painful lessons learned are still in front of us. Wang Feng said that this principle cannot be broken, otherwise he will quit forever , was finally able to hold the bottom line.

.........

The Chinese team's first match against Uruguay, the champion of the America's Cup, will be played at the Mineirão Stadium, which is located in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and is one of the main venues for next year's World Cup.

With the continuous improvement of domestic living standards, more and more fans can come across continents to watch the game live. In addition, many domestic media have come to report, and Chinese faces can be seen everywhere on the streets of Brazil's fourth largest city.

The popularity of the event was somewhat beyond the organizers' expectations, but this is also a situation they like to see, so they open the door for enthusiastic fans.

The routine press conference the day before the game, the head coach Lippi and the captain Wang Feng attended together. Unlike the rival Uruguay hall which was deserted, the Chinese team was crowded with reporters from all over the place.

The media is most concerned about how the Chinese superstar integrates into the team, after all, he has less time to practice with his teammates. "The head coach has helped us overcome this problem very well. Now there is basically no gap in cooperation. Of course, it still needs to be tested in actual combat."

Unlike the frequent warm-up matches before the World Cup, the Confederations Cup itself is a friendly match, so when Wang Feng returned to the team, he could not find a warm-up opponent, so he had to start directly from the main match.

Lippi said that he is not worried about this problem at all. Chinese superstars can be plugged and played. "To be honest, I came here for him. Being able to coach such a great star is one of my coaching career pursuits."

"I hesitated for a long time before taking over the Chinese team. After all, this is a team that has fallen from the clouds to the bottom. It is not easy to rebuild. It was Wang who found and convinced me."

"What's more important is that when I learned about the actual situation in the team, I was very grateful that I was able to come here. The vigor, vitality, and fighting spirit are full of vigor, vitality, and fighting spirit in the hearts of every player. The skills and physical fitness are improving day by day. Back to the top!"

Wang Feng said frankly that he regrets not being able to participate in the World Cup next year, but Chinese football has been reborn. "We will go all out for this Confederations Cup. For us, this is our World Cup!"

Although many reporters were very concerned about the two people's views on the loss of the right to participate in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and the turmoil in football some time ago, they did not make too many comments and thoughts.

Uruguay is the most outstanding team in the entire group, while Oceania Nations Cup champion Tahiti and African Cup champion Nigeria are slightly inferior. If you want to qualify for the top two in the group, you must grab points from these two teams.

However, the first game is also related to the overall morale. This is the first time that the national team with a new lineup has played in a large-scale event. If they get a big defeat, it will be a heavy blow.

The press conference of the opponent Uruguay was also full of questions about the Chinese team and Wang Feng. Legendary coach Oscar Tavares said: "Yes, Wang Feng is amazing and invincible, but this Chinese team It’s a rip off, and I don’t think they have a chance to wrestle with us.”

The Uruguayan can really have this kind of confidence, because he has a lot of strong men under his command, Muslera guards the goal, the defense line composed of Godin, Lugano and Caceres is solid, and the striker is full of talents. Cavani and Suarez, this is not comparable to players who play in small leagues such as Hungary, Greece, and Scotland.

With this lineup, they reached the semi-finals of the Copa America in 07 and the semi-finals of the World Cup in 10, and beat Brazil led by Neymar and Argentina led by Messi to win the Copa America in 11.

A reporter interviewed Suarez, who shined in the World Cup in South Africa and Liverpool in the Premier League. He said that he admired Wang Feng very much. "There is no doubt that Wang is the goal and pursuit of all strikers in the world."

Regarding the transfer rumors surrounding him, the Uruguayan star did not respond much. Liverpool's record this season was not good, and they could not even participate in the European war. This made Suarez, who was at his peak, quite aggrieved.

At present, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Barcelona have all offered him olive branches, and he has not yet decided where he will eventually go.
