Vol 3 Chapter 128: Article 1

As we approach the first game of the Top Ten match with Qatar, there are naturally more and more topics surrounding the Chinese team. There are also more and more reporters coming outside the training base of the Chinese team. Among the piles of Chinese journalists, it is not difficult to see the top ten. When coming to the sturdy bearded man, Qatar will naturally send people to spy on the situation of the Chinese team.
With Lippi taking office, the Chinese team as the new champion of Asia is naturally the only focus. The coach of the biggest national team in Asia is absolutely beyond doubt. Although the Chinese media still hold a wait-and-see attitude towards Lippi, the opponents, without exception, regard the Chinese team as a strong enemy.
This is especially true of Qatar, the opponent in the first game. During the Asian Cup, the Chinese team was able to take advantage of the advantage of the host. Now this opponent is even more powerful.
In fact, Chinese reporters did not find that many South Korean reporters were silently crowded into the back row of the team to observe secretly. As the opponents of the same team of the Chinese team, they can't help but ignore them.
However, as if there were no precautions in the Chinese team, the training for the first few days was even completely open. It was not until the two days before the game that it was the usual practice and only opened for 15 minutes. These reporters can't help but worry: Is Lippi so confident? Don't worry about tactical leaks?
Lippi is confident, although everyone can see that although the details are so tight that the training is intermittent, the duration of a training session is seriously lengthened. But the training atmosphere is relaxed. Lippi is not as harsh as many players think-in fact, the image represented by the "godfather" is always mild. The first thing Lippi instilled in everyone was confidence.
"To learn to pass the ball against the ground and dare to hold the ball under your feet proves your self-confidence is strong. Although Zhou can act as a metronome, what I need is that each of you dare to take the ball, dare to pass, break through, Interpolate. Young men, be more confident. Since you are the Asian Cup champion, you should have enough confidence in facing Asian teams. In Asia, we do not lose any opponents! In fact, Asian champions can have a place in the world football. One thing you will realize sooner or later, but this needs to be built on the premise that you have enough self-confidence!"
These details inside the stadium will not be known to the outside world.
The only thing they could know was that the news revealed by the CCTV reporter accompanying the team was that Zhou Tiancheng replaced Zheng Zhi as the new captain of the national team.
The news says big or small, but any fans who care about the national team are still very shocked.
Change the dynasty just after taking office?
Thirty-two-year-old Zheng Zhi is actually not very old. He is still at the peak of his career. Fans don’t know what Lippi considered, but this result is basically praised by the public.
This means that the team’s leader has become younger, and Zhou Tiancheng is the captain. Needless to say, he is the only person in the national team who has no negative news in terms of professionalism. Zheng Zhi is not as good as him in this regard. After all, there was something about Cissé that was always a stalk.
...
As the top ten games approached, CCTV's "Football Night" program also made a feature film to predict the trend of the national team's top ten games.
The Qatar team in front of us, including Uzbekistan, who will play against them later, are not really worried opponents. But the real rivals are South Korea and Iran, rivals of the two Chinese teams.
The top ten is divided into two groups, five teams in each group perform a double cycle, and finally the top two of each group directly advance to the World Cup, and the third group wants to advance, the difficulty is much greater, the first Round-off playoffs, knocking out another group third, and then going to intercontinental playoffs with fifth place in South America.
The overall strength of the South American team is clearly above Asia, so for the Chinese team, the easiest thing is undoubtedly to fight for the top two in the group.
The Chinese team's Group A, since the draw was settled, the top two battles are almost universally recognized between the Chinese team, the South Korean team and the Iranian team.
Qatar and Uzbekistan are basically escorts. Although their strength is not weak in Asia, they can only blame their bad luck for being in this group.
But because it was the first time after two lapses of the World Cup and the strong Asian teams get together, so the Chinese media did not sing high-profile. In the special outlook of the top ten matches of "Football Night", there is no emphasis on South Korea and Iran, and each opponent has given the same amount of drama, that is, the same attention.
It is worth mentioning that Zhou Tiancheng's metaphor was once again brought to the countertop, and it is still the official countertop.
"The top ten represents the highest level of confrontation in Asia, especially in the Group A where the Chinese team is. South Korea, Iran, Uzbekistan, Qatar, each is not a fish belly, although the Chinese team is not the same as it is now. Lambs who are slaughtered by anyone, but we have not underestimated the capital of our opponents. We are eager to go to the World Cup to experience the magnificence and thrill of the stars and the sea, and we are eager to be the ultimate winner rushing out of the Amazon, but there are rivers of dark tide flowing in front of us. Even Qatar, the weakest group, once kicked us out of the World Cup in South Africa..."
CCTV's entire attitude is to be warned in anticipation. When the Chinese team is fired as a big hit, do the non-mainstream that splashes cold water.
Qatar is the first opponent of the Chinese team~EbookFREE.me~ The first river in front of it, although the water level of this river is not high enough, it still needs to be warned by the crossers. If it is not prepared enough, it may still be swallowed. .
Under the spotlight, Lippi led the starting lineup for the national football debut.
Starting goalkeeper Ming Tao, two centre-backs Feng Xiaoting partner Dewey, left-back Sun Xiang, right-back Zhang Linpeng, midfielder Zhou Tiancheng, Zheng Zhi and Hao Junmin triangle position, Zheng Zhi relatively delayed, Zhou Tiancheng and Hao Junmin are completely Offensive midfielder; the left winger is Chen Pengfei, the right winger is Yu Hai, who plays for Shaanxi Renhe, and the forward position is Jiang Hao.
This starting lineup responded with a lot of doubts.
The first is to question that Lippi's Chinese team will play an Italian defense. This obviously has no way out, but from the starting lineup, Lippi's strategy is completely the opposite. Another point is the most questioned. Since Lippi took office from Evergrande, and the salary still comes from Evergrande, will he be too generous and favorably favor the Evergrande? After all, he must always be worthy of the gold lord.
But there are only three players from Evergrande in the starting lineup, which seems even less true.
After all the spray points were smashed, everyone's focus was back on the court. Fortunately, although Chinese fans like all kinds of blacks with each other, as the national team walked into the field, everyone quieted down. They have not forgotten that this is the crucial first game of the national team.
