Vol 6 Chapter 24: Captain Zhou Yi

This game was started by Zhou Yi, so the two previous games started, and Zheng Zhi wearing the captain's armband naturally sat on the bench.
The captain's armband also reached Zhou Yi's arm.
When players from both sides played, captain Zhou Yi was at the forefront and led his teammates into the court.
Next to him is Spain's captain in the game, central defender Sergio Ramos.
"Captain Zhou Yi!" Liu Jianhong was very excited when he saw this scene.
Although Zhou Yi became the captain of the Chinese team, it is no longer news, but this is the first time Zhou Yi has appeared in front of everyone wearing the captain's armband.
"Twenty-three-year-old captain, Zhou Yi is the youngest official captain in the history of the Chinese national team!"
Zhou Yi has never been a captain in the national team and club before, and has never worn a captain's armband.
But everyone does not seem to worry about his lack of leadership experience, because although he does not wear the captain’s armband in the club, it is indeed a spiritual leader, which is similar to a real captain. He is basically a captain except that he has not gone to the side. He did everything he should do.
In addition, Dortmund won the double crown under such difficult conditions last season and successfully defended the Champions League. Zhou Yi not only played an important role on the court, but also played a key role in the locker room to help the team stabilize. Army mind, let Klopp boast Zhou Yi is the dream of any coach.
Through these news, everyone knows Zhou Yi's leadership.
Leadership does not necessarily have to be linked to age and experience. Not to mention, in fact, Zhou Yi’s experience is very rich. In the Chinese team, he is the player with the most experience in the European War and the most in the European League. He has experienced two UEFA Champions League finals, and has experienced countless fierce battles.
In this national team, if he does not have the qualifications to be the captain, then no one is qualified to fit this position better than him.
※※※
Zhou Yi wearing the captain's armband is no different from his usual game. As soon as he comes out, he looks around and looks left and right.
When Zhou Yi was not well-known at first, he was criticized for "inattention" and "not serious enough".
Now of course no one has said that. This has become Zhou Yi's habit, and everyone has nothing to say.
In this game, the Chinese team won the home team sign, they still chose the red jersey, while Spain can only wear a black away jersey.
On the red jersey, the golden captain's armband is very conspicuous.
Coupled with the pair of color-contrast personalized sneakers under his feet, even in the non-high-definition signal TV broadcast screen, people can recognize Zhou Yilai at a glance, he is completely different from those other players.
Of course, personal temperament is also very important.
Although this was the first World Cup appearance in his life and the first appearance with the captain's armband, there was no slight tension and discomfort.
After playing, the two players lined up and played the national anthem of the participating countries.
When playing the national anthem of the Republic of China, Zhou Yi did not cover the flag of the chest with his hands, but sang the national anthem with his hands behind his hands and his chest raised with his hands upright.
When the camera broadcasts a close-up of him, the audience in front of the TV can even hear his singing voice.
After the national anthem was played, the cheers of fans from both sides were heard on the scene.
The next step is the necessary pre-match procedures, including handshake between the players of both sides, captains of both sides exchanging team flags, gifts, and picking sides...
Zhou Yi and Ramos stood together.
They met again after a month.
However, neither of them was the captain in the Champions League final a month ago.
Real Madrid's ten-dream dream made Zhou Yi smash, and Ramos had a deep impression on Zhou Yi.
Now this game can be said to be the national hatred and family hatred all together.
Zhou Yi even felt that Ramos shook hands with him harder than in the Champions League final...
In this game, Spain’s first captain Casillas sat on the bench. In the last World Cup game, Spanish coach Bosque made some adjustments to the team’s lineup. , Or out of placating considerations.
Anyway, Casillas, who lost seven goals in the first two games, did not continue to start, instead of Reina.
The naturalized center Diego Costa, who started in the previous two games, also sat on the bench. He was replaced by Villa and Torres, the two main forwards of the last World Cup.
Diego Costa killed four sides in the league and also attracted the Brazilian Football Association and the Spanish Football Association to fight each other. The Brazilian team hopes that Diego Costa can play for the Brazilian national team. Center.
But Diego Costa abandoned Brazil and chose to play for Spain. This decision drew strong dissatisfaction in Brazil. In this World Cup, Brazilian fans have not booed him. It is not known whether his poor performance in this World Cup is related to this.
But Costa's performance is really bad, as the main center, starting in two consecutive games, behind a strong Spanish midfielder, the result did not score a goal. Spain scored a goal in two games, still by Xavi Alonso penalty kick, the Spanish team did not score in the sport.
With such a poor offensive performance, it is no wonder that Bosque will adjust the front line of this game, replace Costa and Pedro, and let 33-year-old Villa and 30-year-old Torres start.
In addition to the adjustments on the striker and goalkeeper, Bosque also made adjustments to other positions. On the back line, Azpi Liquita and Xavi Martinez, who started in the last game, were replaced. , Replaced by Juan Fran and Albiol.
Midfielder Harvey has not yet entered the starting list. As the core of Spain's midfielder, Harvey has not played in the first game after losing to the Netherlands 1:5. This game is also the same, he did not play, let those who intend to see Zhou Yi and Harvey talk at the World Cup is very disappointed, after all, Zhou Yi is playing style and Harvey most similar, some people even say that from Zhou Yi You can see Harvey when he was young, and I don’t know if Harvey also thinks so. But it was a pity that the two people lost the opportunity to talk directly.
Maybe Bosque thinks that the old Harvey can't keep up with the pace of the game. If the young and vigorous Chinese team will speed up the game, then Harvey will not make much contribution even on the field. So this game still did not start him.
The person who replaced him was Cazorla.
Busquets also did not start, replaced by Atletico Madrid's young player Cork.
It can be said that this time the Spanish team's starting lineup has a big move, the adjustment range is very large.
The first player to start against the Netherlands, only four people still remain on the court today, Ramos, Alba, Xavi Alonso and Iniesta.
In the last game, Bosque completely gave up the things he insisted on in the previous two games, placing both Harvey and Busquets on the bench, indicating that he realized that the Barcelona set was not suitable for the current Spanish team.
Before the Spanish team was able to sweep Europe and the World Cup, it was because of the strong Barcelona-style Tiki-taka football.
But at that time, the main players were all playing, so whether it is the club or the national team, there is no problem using this set of tactics, which can encompass the feeling of the three major competitions. But now the main cores are old, and this set of tactics has high requirements on physical fitness. After a hard season, everyone is very tired physically and mentally. The result of using this set of tactics is a crash.
With Cazola and Cork, Villa and Torres, Bosque hopes that Spain will be able to get rid of the influence of Tiki-taka football and play another fast, simple and direct football.
The emphasis on the wing is also the tradition before Spanish football.
Compared with Spain's Qiankun move, the adjustment of the Chinese team is much smaller. Only one position has been adjusted, that is, Zhou Yi replaced Zheng Zhi, and Zhou Yi's position is slightly ahead. Yang Hao and Yang Muge These two lower backs protect him behind him.
The thickness of the bench of the Chinese team is not as strong as Spain, so there is not so much room for adjustment.
※※※
After the tossing over, the Chinese team won the tossing power, and Spain got the kick-off power.
Zhou Yi did not hesitate to choose the half backed by Spanish fans when choosing the venue~EbookFREE.me~ This was already optimistic when he played.
The purpose of this is to allow the Chinese team to attack in the first half in the direction of having their fans support, when attacking the Spanish goal, you can get close support from Chinese fans. In the second half, when the two sides fought in another place, the Chinese team was backed by their own fans to defend, and they also got the support of their fans.
The enthusiasm and enthusiasm of Chinese fans should play a role in the Chinese team's defeat of Spain-Zhou Yi believes so, just as he believes his teammates.
※※※
After all procedures on both sides have been completed, the players of the two teams stand in their respective positions and wait for the game to begin.
Villa and Torres walked into the middle circle and were ready to kick off.
"The two sides have already made their own decisions. This game is about to begin. Audience friends, the next step is the ninety minutes that determine the fate of the Chinese team!"
