Chapter 620: Friendship Match is Friendship Chapter 1

Chapter 5 Eighty: Friendship is friendship first

There are still two national team match days in November, so after the league game with Swansea, Arsenal's international players flew to their respective national teams.

Li Zihan was no exception. He just rested at home in London for one night, and then flew to China early the next morning.

This time, the Chinese team's training location is in Guangzhou. The Chinese Super League's overlord Guangzhou Evergrande team provided a training venue for the national team.

And as the head coach of the Guangzhou Evergrande team, Lippi, the Italian world-class champion coach known as the silver fox, also came to the training place in the country and had exchanges with the head coach Perrin.

The time for the training camp was only a few days, and it passed quickly, and it was time to test the training results.

On November [-]th, the national team will hold a friendly match with the New Zealand team at Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center.

The starting lineup before the game was announced. Important players such as Li Zihan and Wu Lei were on the list, while captain Zheng Zhi sat on the bench.It is said that Evergrande head coach Lippi hopes that Zheng Zhi will only play half of the game for such a game without gold content. After all, he is not young, and the club still cannot do without him.Allowing a player of his age to train and play intensively will undoubtedly increase his risk of injury.

The Chinese team set the tone for this game at the beginning of the game. Instead of aggressively attacking, they controlled the ball under their feet for a long time, and then advanced layer by layer. Return immediately.

It's really a friendly match

The Chinese team is communicating and cooperating to increase the tacit understanding of the team.

Although the Chinese team won very well in the last few games, in general, they still rely on Li Zihan's personal ability.

In this game, Pei Lan gave orders to the other players, they must keep up with Li Zihan's pace and rhythm.And Pei Lan also told Li Zihan not to deliberately suppress himself, and to follow his own ideas.

So on the scene, fans often easily see the mess on the road.

The previous few games gave the Chinese teams great confidence and appreciation. They just saw this game by chance. They are really not used to it!

When the Chinese team made more mistakes, New Zealand's chances also increased.

In the No.30 second minute of the first half, New Zealand scored a goal.

Although the opponent took the lead, the Chinese fans did not lose hope.Now this Chinese team is the Chinese team with Li Zihan. With Li Zihan, you can never predict what will happen before the game is over.

The morale and mood of the Chinese team have not changed because of this loss, they still faithfully implement Perrin's tactics.

This one-to-zero score lasted until the No.80 second minute of the game. The cooperation of the Chinese team became more and more in-depth. Li Zihan's running position tore through New Zealand's defense line. , It's just that the football bypassed the goalkeeper and hit the post, but Gao Lin who followed up happened to appear in this position and scored with a supplementary shot.

At this point in the game, Pei Lan also started to replace Li Zihan.

In this way, the friendly match between the Chinese team and New Zealand ended with a one-to-one handshake.

Although the Chinese fans don't like this result, they are not idiots. The so-called long-term illness becomes a doctor. If you watch football a lot, you will naturally understand a lot about football.For example, in this game, everyone understood that Perrin was deliberately training soldiers.

November NO.18, the Chinese team ushered in the second friendly match.This time their opponent is the Honduras team. This team is a big team in the World Cup this summer, but I often see this team on the stage of the World Cup, which also means that this team is regarded as a big team by other giants. Teams, in fact, are not easy to be bullied in the hearts of China, and it is not bad even not to be bullied by others.

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team still insisted on the tactical strategy of the previous game against the New Zealand team. They deliberately used Li Zihan, Wang Shangyuan and Wu Lei as the center of attack to seek cooperation.

This time it was not the opponent who scored the first goal, but the Chinese team.Gao Lin's forward pressure withstood the opponent's central defender. Wang Shangyuan immediately moved to the right at this time. After Wu Lei got the ball, he didn't give it to Wang Shangyuan, but knocked it to Liu Binbin behind him, and then moved by himself.

Now the defensive players in Honduras are in a difficult situation. Who should they pay attention to after Wu Lei, Wang Shangyuan and Gao Lin move up at the same time?

Liu Binbin helped them solve this problem. Liu Binbin is still very good at passing the ball, but he did not pass the ball to Wu Lei, nor did he find Gao Lin who was in front of him, nor did he even go to the one who raised his hand to ask for the ball. Wang Shangyuan.

Liu Binbin passed the ball to Li Zihan on the other side. Instead of stopping the football, Li Zihan stretched out his foot and picked the football to the back of the New Zealand full-back in front of him. He also rushed past past.

He easily passed the opponent's full-back, and when the opponent's central defender pulled over to make up for it, Li Zihan made a fake move of lying down and looking for space to hit the goal, but he passed the football to the goal. To the middle.

Wu Lei, who had been behind Gao Lin in the middle, stood up at this time. He met Li Zihan's pass and directly swung his foot to shoot.

With no one interfering or blocking, Wu Lei's shots in the penalty area are very threatening, and whether this threat can be directly converted into a goal basically depends on the opponent's goalkeeper.

Obviously, the Honduras goalkeeper is not ready this time. The Chinese team’s constant passing and cutting cooperation makes him a little strange. It is not the first time he has played well with the Chinese team. Just once.

But now the performance of the Chinese team made him feel very strange. After he finally reacted, there were huge cheers in the stands of Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center.

Football has been scored!

The production of this goal made Perrin firm in his belief. He saw that the Chinese team was being changed a little bit, and they were moving towards a real national team with tactical concepts and cohesiveness.It's just that the road ahead is relatively long, and they still need time!

After scoring the goal, the Chinese team was very excited. Obviously, they have also seen their own growth.After celebrating the goal happily, the Chinese team returned to the game again.

After the resumption of the game, the Chinese team did not push forward in one go, nor did they show their personal heroism.They are still patiently implementing coach Perrin's tactics.

And on the TV, the commentators gave these guys 32 likes, praising them for guarding against arrogance and impetuosity.

When the game came to the second half, Perrin started to make substitutions.He needs to give other players opportunities to facilitate inspections. Now that the Chinese team's lineup for the Asian Cup has not been reported, he still needs time to inspect other players.

Huang Bowen, Yang Xu, and Wu Xi were replaced.

When the game came to the full minute, the Honduras team equalized the score, and the teams from North America and the Caribbean had a grand carnival at Tianhe Sports Center.

Obviously, the Chinese team, which has not entered the top 32 of the World Cup, has put pressure on their team that often reaches the top 32 or even the top [-]!

It's just that the Hondurans were not happy for too long. The Chinese team equalized in less than 5 minutes. This time it was Li Zihan who contributed to the team!

The Chinese team once again took the lead.

At 55 minutes into the game, the Chinese team led [-]-[-]. At this time, Perrin started to make substitutions.Li Zihan, the hero who passed and shot in this game, was replaced by captain Zheng Zhi.

This substitution seems to be a conservative substitution of a defensive nature, but in fact Perrin wanted to give Li Zihan more rest time.After all, the European leagues and the Champions League are in full swing, and Arsenal need Li Zihan to grab points for them in the league.Therefore, in order to reduce Li Zihan's injuries, Pei Lan had to give him more rest time. After all, he came to China to participate in training camps and competitions, but he flew halfway around the world.

As for Zheng Zhi, the current time is also good for him to play and find his feeling.

But some pseudo-fans didn't see it that way. They replaced Li Zihan, who had fierce attacking firepower, and Zheng Zhi, who played the midfielder, was a conservative substitution. They thought it was Peilan playing conservative football.

But when Li Zihan was replaced, the Chinese team could not find a way to adapt.Because they have been under the leadership of Li Zihan for a long time now, he is still not used to leaving Li Zihan all of a sudden

In the end, captain Zheng Zhi stood up and led the team to continue.

It's just that after leaving the main players such as Li Zihan, the substitutes and rotations were not satisfactory. Finally, in the No.801 minute near the end of the game, Honduras scored a goal to tie the game.

In the end, the game ended with a score of two to two.

In the post-match press conference, Perrin firmly believed that the team was in a positive state of moving forward without any problems.

And Li Zihan also told reporters that he is full of confidence in the future of the national team, and his teammates are also very good!

True fans who understand football can certainly see that since Peilan took office and Li Zihan joined the national team, the national football team has really improved a lot.

After completing the mission of the national team, Li Zihan is preparing to return to London non-stop. He is now a trapeze man. If he adds up his flight mileage over the years, I don’t know how many times he can circle the earth.

And under Li Zihan's personal social account, many fans left messages, asking Li Zihan to pay attention to his body.Running back and forth like this is easy to get injured, especially when his teammates Nkuru and Monreal were injured in the national team this time.

Most of these fans are fans from Arsenal and the Chinese team.
