Chapter 516

"At 17:45 this afternoon, at the BJ Olympic Sports Center, the Chinese men's national team ended an international football friendly contest. With the excellent performance of all the players, the Chinese team beat Vietnam 8-0..."

At 10:11 on October 18, CCTV5's sports news column officially reported this inspiring news.

The major online media also announced the results of the game almost at the same time.

"Crazy! The eight-ball team of the third national football team bloodbathed the second team of Vietnam!"

"Sigh! The three generations of old, middle-aged and young are gathered together, so the national football team can be called the heyday!"

"Congratulations! Many young players born in the 90s are showing their talents, and the future of the national football team is promising!"

"The weakest in history? The starting 11 national team played an average of less than 8 games!"

"Fart! The Chinese team with Long Shute as the starter will always be the strongest team in history!"

An hour later, the news program with the largest number of viewers in the world - News Network also reported the information of the game at the end.

Don't be too suspicious, even if the national team is kicked into a mess, it will never lack media attention, not to mention this is a hearty massacre...

It's just that because this ball is not an official competition, the news broadcast only gave a minute and a half of wonderful pictures-no way, it will take more than a minute to show all 8 goals!

Among the eight goals, Long Shute scored 4 goals alone. In addition, he also gave Gao Lin an assist.

He could have pushed his tally higher, but he didn't.

Because he still remembers what is the most important task for him to return to China to participate in the competition...

After the second half, as the captain, Long Shute began to drive the team to play more teamwork, and through actual experience, to examine whether these new teammates can adapt to the tactical requirements of this national team.

After Gao Lin's goal, Xu Liang and Shao Jiayi successively expanded the score with free kicks, and Wu Lei, who came off the bench, scored the last anti-offside single-handed goal to fix the score at 8-0.

"[-] runs in a single game?"

When those players who played with Long Shute at close range for the first time saw the data given by the data company after the game, they couldn't accept it for a while.

The famous health ball expert Wang Xinxin thought about his average running distance of less than 8000 meters per game in the Super League, and felt like crying:

"Are we really playing in the midfield position? What should I do when I meet such a big guy who can run!"

-

The Chinese team is not equipped with professional tactical analysts, or the person in charge of this work is not professional enough, so Long Shute simply took on this task himself. No one can be his teacher...

"We don't need too many tactical changes, because on the stage of the World Cup, we must be the weaker side, so from now on, we must pay more attention to defensive counterattack..."

Coach Long talked to the tactical board:

"There are still two main parts here: defense and offense.

Defense is of course a priority because it requires the active participation of everyone.

This is not to say that the striker should retreat to the depths of the penalty area. In fact, I do not advocate this overly extreme defensive method. I hope that when the opponent attacks, the striker, midfielder, and full-back will attack them immediately. Interfering, slowing their advance as much as possible, like this..."

He turned on the remote control of the computer and played a clip of Barcelona's frontcourt counterattack sorted out by the system.

"This is a Barcelona game. Judging from their size and size, Messi, Iniesta, and Xavi are not considered strong defensive players. Their defensive ability may not be as good as that of Hanchao. Don't laugh, what I said It's true, we can play against Spain or Argentina when we have time, Gao Lin, you only need to poke your ass, and they can only fall... But they never give up defense because of their position or identity...

I promise here that defense is a matter for 11 people, and I am no exception. If the team needs it, I can always retreat to the goal line, but it is far from enough to rely on me alone. If there are no teammates, Not to mention Spain and Argentina, Vietnam's second team can beat me to pieces! "

The players laughed, and the atmosphere in the room lightened up.

Long Shute turned off the computer:

"Defense is like this. You must keep the entire defense line intact at all times, and don't lose your position easily. As for the offense, we still need further drills..."

-

Long Shute did not arrange any complicated offensive routines, but let the players play freely.

After all, these 30-plus people are not the final fixed lineup, and it is very likely that more than half of them will be crossed out after a week. In addition, this kind of training time is too short, and there are too many tactics here...It is actually useless, but will disrupt the training of the players.

Anyway, the opponent in the second game...is just Thailand.

The Chinese team ranked 24th in the world is facing the Thai team ranked 143. Does it need any advanced tactics?

-

After three days of training, this time Long Shute led the team to the Tianjin Olympic Sports Center dozens of kilometers away.

Different from the first game, Long Shute used another lineup in this game. Except for himself, all the starting 11 players were changed again!

He originally summoned so many people to inspect the players. Of course, he should try his best to let everyone play a game.

In the two warm-up games, apart from him, 20 starters and 6 came off the bench, and there are only 5 people who can't play!

-

Probably having learned the lesson of the disastrous defeat of the Vietnam team, the Thailand team did not "underestimate the enemy" this time. They sent the strongest lineup they could choose and came to Bohai Bay aggressively.

After 90 minutes, amidst the ridicule of [-] Tianjin fans, they left in despair...

The score of this game is 13-0...

The Thai team, which played with all the main players, lost even worse than the second Vietnamese team!

You know... Vietnam's FIFA ranking is only 151!8 places lower than Thailand!

More importantly, their opponents are generally 30-year-old men! -

In this game, the Chinese team almost all used the old-school international footballers from before 85. Zheng Zhi, Zhao Junzhe, Sun Jihai, Cao Yang, Dewey, Li Weifeng, Qu Bo, Yang Hao, Yang Zhi, Wang Yun, Sun Xiang and many other veterans all entered. In the 18-man roster, only Long Shute is under the age of 11 among the starting 28 players.

Not to mention, the lineup formed by these people, just looking at those names, makes people feel very powerful...

So they have to be great.

Long Shute completed a hat-trick in only 20 minutes in the first half, established the lead early, and then began to repeat the old tricks, leading the group of old guys to experiment with tactics.

Zhao Junzhe, Qu Bo, and Zheng Zhi scored goals one after another, and even defender Sun Jihai assisted another defender Li Weifeng to score with a header. From the very beginning, this game was a bullying goal performance by the Chinese team.

We tend to say that a one-sided game takes the fun out of fans, but that definitely doesn't include your own team.

If the Chinese national team can score 13-0 in front of Brazil, Spain, France, England, Germany, Argentina and other giants, Chinese fans will never complain that such a game is too boring.

However, it seems that this wish may never come true...

After the 60th minute, Long Shute directly replaced three veterans at the same time, and Wang Xinxin, who had sat out two games, was also recruited by him.

To be honest, the Tianjin TEDA veteran himself was a little surprised, because Director Long obviously doesn't like players who lack active running like him, not to mention that his position and Director Long also overlap, and he has the world's number one midfielder The Chinese team does not need a classical midfielder who can only pass the ball at all...

Probably because... I am a TEDA player, right?

The only reason he could think of was this.

After all, it is a game in Tianjin, and more than 90% of the fans are supporters of TEDA. It is understandable to send a famous TEDA star, right?

But as soon as he ran on the field, he received tactical instructions from Long Shute.

"You come to play the front midfielder, and I will go to the front to play the striker." Long Shute patted his thin midfielder, "I am waiting for your pass."

Uncle Wang suddenly lifted his spirits: Although his body is not strong enough, and his physical fitness is also a weakness, he is still a man from the Northeast. It is more than enough to bully the weak and mentally broken Southeast Asian Thai team...is it still more than enough?

Uncle Wang, full of self-confidence, suddenly turned into Chinese Harvey, picking the ball, through balls, oblique passes, crotch piercing... He almost used the skills he had learned all his life to deliver shells to Director Long.

He doesn't even need to run with the ball, the only thing he needs to consider is to send the football to Director Long in the frontcourt.

As for the defense... Zheng Zhi, Zhao Xuri, Yang Hao and other peers can help him solve problems, and he doesn't have to worry about his pass being counterattacked by the opponent.

Seeing this veteran player working so hard, the Tianjin fans did not hesitate to applaud at all. As long as Wang Xinxin sent a good pass, there would be a burst of joyful applause from the stands.

Facts have proved that as long as there is a midfielder who can pass and a forward who can shoot, the Chinese team can still score:

Wang Xinxin played 30 minutes, and he completed his first hat-trick of assists in his national team career, and even his entire career!

After Director Long wore his hat in the first half, he went a step further in the second half and directly staged a big five!

Long Batian crazily brushed eight balls in a single game! -

Looking at a series of his own names on the big screen, Long Shute licked his lips with some insatiable desire.

Sure enough, although the opponent is weak, the sense of accomplishment of scoring a goal is greatly reduced, but the refreshing feeling still makes him addicted.

Long Shute felt his happy heartbeat and couldn't help sighing.

If possible, he really wants to be a pure striker in the national team and concentrate on destroying cities.

But such a thing is almost impossible.

That's why he has such a headache.

After the game ended, Long Shute thought for a long time, and finally wrote down his comments on the first training camp for 32-year-old Wang Xinxin:

"Continue to investigate, positioning: substitute midfielder."

There are still several players who have written such comments by him, but even more whose names have been crossed out by him.

Those veterans who were once famous, not everyone can beat time, not to mention that Chinese players have always had a tradition of changing their age. It is difficult for you to speculate that this 35-year-old veteran was 25 years old ten years ago Still 20 years old...

This may be the most tiring national team training for Long Shute. For the first time, he took over the responsibilities of the head coach and played a full 180 minutes of the game.

But it's not time for him to relax, because there are three more training camps like this, and he has to work so hard every time.

Also because... his club is about to face another major battle.

Barcelona's challenge has arrived.
