Chapter 430: Eye-opener

Madrid, Spain.
Zheng Zhi, Li Weifeng, Li Yin, Shao Jiayi and the Chinese Olympic team joined together.
This time, the purpose of playing a friendly match with the Spanish Olympic team is very clear, is to test the team's strength and prepare for next year's Sydney Olympics.
The Spanish Olympic team is classified as the World Youth Championship this year, and its strength is naturally very strong. The Japanese Olympic team lost four goals to their feet.
The Chinese National Olympics have not played against the Japanese National Olympics, but the Japanese National Olympics are considered to be the only team in Asia that can beat the Chinese National Olympics. It can be imagined that the strength of the Japanese National Olympics is not bad, but the strength of the Spanish National Olympics too strong.
In the tactical conference room, Horton explained the skills and tactics of the Spanish Olympic team.
"This is a world champion, a real world champion. I hope you don't think of it as a friendly match, but play it as a real match."
"If you beat the world champion down, you know where you stand."
"Of course, the youth team and the adult team are two different things. Many players became famous when they were young, but they disappeared after reaching the professional team. Don't be proud!"
"Don't think that we can't beat the Spanish Olympics. On the contrary, in this level of competition, any team can win, and we obviously have the strength to do this."
"Of course, we have to look at this ball with a learning attitude."
"From a personal technical point of view, Spain, at least the technical ability of the midfielders, is very strong. The technical ability of the Spanish midfielders is reflected in the ability to stop the ball, protect the ball and quickly play the ball. This kind of technical ability seems to be not performant, but this technical ability is the basis for the reasonable treatment of football. "
Holden still very much recognizes the Spanish Olympic team.
"Reasonable stopping, fast and continuous passes are very difficult. They have a good combination of basic technology and their actual practice."
"From an overall perspective, due to the technical foundation of the Spanish midfielder, the entire team has been integrated very well. This is like the chemical reaction often said in basketball. Due to the ability of everyone in the midfield to stop, guard and play the ball They are all very good, and since these people are mostly from the same youth training system, the idea of ​​handling the ball is also the same, making the overall feel of the Spanish midfielder very good. "
The basic technology is good, but this is Spain in 2000, not Spain in 2008-2010. Zheng Zhi endorsed Houghton's analysis, but does not think that this Spain is really immense.
At the turn of the century, the Spanish team's style of play said that the good points are concise and the bad points are rough. Especially between 1998 and 2006, the Spanish team attached importance to the side pass and the striker responded.
Unlike the ball-handling methods gathered by a large number of midfielders later, the Spanish team focused on pure wingers during this period, such as Joaquin, Vicente, Garcia or Reyes, and the middle road is not Xavi Iniesta. In this way, it pays attention to interceptors like Albelda and Baraja. Especially during the coaching period of Camacho in 2000-2002, the Spanish team's style of play was really lackluster. A large number of players piled up in the backcourt. All of them made a big pass and broke through the wing. Why was the Spanish team the king of the qualifiers? Because football has a single play style, qualifiers can be used to abuse vegetables. It is true that the football field of the World Cup European Cup is in full swing.
"If we win them, Japanese fans are estimated to jump into the sky."
Li Weifeng is not very cold about this Spanish team. "It is not that Spain is too strong, but Japan is too weak. We have to think so."
"But it is Japan who represents Asia in the World Youth Championships."
Zheng Zhi immediately poured cold water, "This team is still very strong."
"I have read an analysis of a German media report that I think this team is one of the strongest teams in the Olympics next year. Like Argentina, they are the two teams with the highest voices."
"Brazil? Why is there no Brazil?" Li Weifeng was very puzzled.
"Because Brazil does not plan to bring over-aged players, there is naturally no advantage. In fact, many countries do not pay attention to the Olympic Games."
Zheng Zhi pointed to the piece of paper in his hand and said, "Don't underestimate the guy on this paper, maybe you can get the Golden Globe Award and become the best star in the future."
Alan Subia, Balbuena, La Cruz, Puyol, Amaya, Marchena, Capdevila, Angulo, Albelda, Xavi, Gabri, Beira? San, Ferron, Jose ?? Mali, Tamudo, Luis Garcia.
There are indeed many familiar names, and Zheng Zhi can recognize several people at a glance. For example, Alan Subia, Puyol, Marchena, Capdevila, Angulo, Albelda, Xavi, Tamudo, Luis Garcia, these guys later became the Spanish national team Player, Harvey has become the world's first midfielder.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhi's heart sighed. This year's Japanese Olympic and Spanish Olympic players are basically mixed internationally, but Chinese Olympic players of similar age to them are hard to say success, the best mixed should be Sun Jihai, somehow in Manchester City Kicked into the Hall of Fame, Li Yin and Li Weifeng did not mix out, let alone others including themselves.
But now it is different. They all have the opportunity to change their destiny. They are now playing against the World Youth Championship.
"It's a pity that Raúl of Real Madrid didn't come." Li Weifeng mentioned Raúl Gonzalez.
"Everyone has arrived in the national team. What Olympics are they playing?"
"It's great that you target that Luis Garcia and Tamudo, they are strong." The two players later joined together in the Spaniards and also reached the UEFA Cup final. The memory of them is quite clear.
"Zhe Ge, you have to be careful about Puyol, the golden retriever in the video, that guy is too ruthless, and his feet are very simple."
It is estimated that Zhao Junzhe was going to play the right half, Zheng Zhi specifically explained. Puyol was definitely desperate when he was young, and Zhao Junzhe couldn't kick well on the right.
"Is it that strong?"
"Very strong!"
"Silver, our two opponents are these two guys." Zheng Zhi pointed to Baraja and Xavi.
"Especially him, when he takes the ball, we must make him feel good."
Although Harvey was relatively unknown at this time, his strength was already very good.
"Relax, don't you worry about me?"
Li Yin assured his chest.
"Zheng Zhi, what about the left? What else do I pay attention to?"
"Barcelona midfielder Gabri."
"Several of them are in the club's first team. It's not much different from ours."
"Zheng Zhi, talk about the defenders?"
In front of everyone, Zheng Zhi is the football encyclopedia. Although he is the youngest, everyone respects him. This is status.
"The Puyol just now, and Capdevila, Marchena, and La Cruz."
"The four players have all mixed up in the first team. Marchena is tall and well marked, but has many small moves and likes fouls. Puyol fights against roughness and fierceness. Capdevila is more feminine ..."
"I think we can find a breakthrough from Marchena and try to avoid that golden retriever. Marchena turns slowly and likes fouls."
"I will often pass behind the ball."
"What about their strikers?" They asked the turn.
Several defenders came together, except for Sun Jihai. Sun Jihai tilted her legs and didn't chat with everyone at all. Don't you think Spain's striker is in your eyes?
"Tamudo and Luis García are both forward-looking strikers, which also means that they will continue to run for opportunities. You must keep an eye on them at all times."
"You have to figure it out."
"The base of our football population is 600,000, and Spain is 3.5 million. Can a striker stand out from 3.5 million, can it be worse?"
"3.5 million? Is there so much?" Li Weifeng was shocked.
"600,000 of our 1.3 billion talents?"
"How many people in Spain?"
"Less than 50 million."
Zheng Zhi became popular.
At this time, Sun Jihai finally raised his ears, obviously he was very interested in this topic.
"So our football is not as good as the European countries."
"Actually, our football population is declining!"
"What? Decline? Impossible."
"A A is so lively, how could it be falling."
"It's true, but as we got the gold medal in the Asian Games, the number of people also picked up."
"It was 650,000 a few years ago, and 600,000 last year. This year, it only picked up slowly."
Zheng Zhi glanced at everyone. Everyone's face was filled with suspicion. How could China with more than one billion billion have only 600,000?
But only Zheng Zhi knows that now is the best football era!
Between 1990 and 1995, the number of young people participating in football in China reached a record high of 650,000; from 1996 to 2000, it fell to 610,000; from 2000 to 2005, it fell sharply to 180,000; and In 2007, there were only more than 30,000 people in the database.
This is not the lowest point of Chinese football.
after that,
The registered population of Chinese football is only more than 10,000 ...
A lot of data is shocking. According to the figures provided by the Youth League, the total number of players born in 1985 and 1986 (that is, the 08 Olympic team-aged players) registered in the Football Association is 1,550. Among them, about 380 players were born in 1986. The total number of players registered in the Chinese Football Association in 1987 and 1988 was 1100.
"Do you know how the Japanese Olympic players were selected?"
"It was selected from more than 600 teams in Japan. Based on a team of 20 people, this Japanese team is" 1 out of 600! "
"Fuck!"
The big head made a sloppy sentence ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Others also echoed.
"Awesome,"
"terrible,"
"I was really scared to death."
"Paralysis, Little Japan is terrible. It will be a strong enemy in the future."
At this time, the Chinese team was not afraid of Japan and had no concept of Japan, but it was afraid of South Korea.
Sun Jihai finally took the initiative to speak.
"The football population of powerful football countries is millions."
"So we can't underestimate Japan."
"This is the gap."
