    The score was equalized, and after the start of the second half, it was still possible to beat the Netherlands and still have a slight advantage - to be honest, Pei Wei did not expect it.

    Of course, both goals had a bit of luck involved. The first goal was when the Dutch team became a little mentally relaxed after taking a two-goal lead, and the Chinese team happened to seize that opportunity to recover.  One ball.  After a goal was pulled back, the Dutch team, who originally thought they would win the game easily, experienced psychological fluctuations again. In their eagerness to expand the score again, they inevitably exposed flaws in their defense. In the first half, the Chinese team  The Dutch team's performance with little ability to fight back also made the Dutch team look down upon them. When the Chinese team had the ball, they were eager to press forward and expand the score. As a result, Hao Dong seized such an opportunity. If it were not such a coincidence,  Then such a result may not occur.

    But in any case, being able to equalize in this situation is a very shameful thing for the Chinese team, but for the Dutch team, it is a bit embarrassing.

    "These guys Frank, let all the substitutes go to warm up! It seems that we have to put a little pressure on them. It doesn't matter in the warm-up match. If it is still like this in the World Cup, it will be troublesome." Hiddink frowned  Head, said to Rijkaard beside him.

    Rijkaard nodded, stood up and called all the substitute players to warm up. Hiddink held his chin in his hands, with a look of worry in his eyes.

    "Have Asian teams improved to this level? Then our group doesn't seem to be that easy to play. Belgium's defense, Mexico's technologyif we add a Korean team whose level is not lower than them"

    As soon as the substitute players moved off the field, the Dutch players on the field immediately became nervous. Now is the critical moment before the start of the World Cup. It would be a real pity if they were taken down because of their poor performance in the warm-up match.

    The Dutch players on the field were a little more serious, while the Chinese team members, stimulated by scoring two goals in a row, mustered up the courage to perform even better. They went crazy and fought with the Dutch team.  Fighting against each other, you come and I fight to the death, which is fun.

    The hundreds of Chinese fans at the scene were so excited that they were going crazy - we were evenly matched with the Netherlands, but the Netherlands still gave its best!  When did the Chinese team become so fierce?  Could it be that he took a legendary stimulant?

    However, both Pei Wei and Benitez saw something was wrong. Now the Chinese team is carrying it all in one breath. Although the performance is very exciting now, when the excitement is gradually overwhelmed by fatigue, failure may come.  .

    Marshal Qi next to him also noticed this. When he saw that Benitez and Pei Wei were doing nothing, he couldn't help but remind him: "It's not good to continue fighting like thisbeating them like this will reduce their physical strength."  Soon, there are still about ten minutes before the end of the game. Should we make substitutions to maintain our physical strength on the court? "

    "It's not necessary." Benitez shook his head and said in less proficient Chinese: "Now that we have achieved our goal, there is no need to show our full strength for such a warm-up match Even if we lose this game  It doesn¡¯t matter, at least we have achieved the purpose of training and demonstrated our strength, that¡¯s enough.¡±

    "And it's okay if we lose this game." Pei Wei said with a smile: "At least it will make us less taken seriously This is not a regular World Cup game, there is no need to force ourselves to win."

    Qi Dashuai felt that his brain was a little insufficient. He was actually a traditional Chinese coach. He still had his own way of training players, but his on-the-spot command and overall decision-making were far inferior to Benitez's.  coach.

    It doesn¡¯t matter if he is not as good as Benitez. Marshal Qi also admires Benitez. Although Benitez usurped his position as head coach, Marshal Qi actually didn¡¯t want to do it at that time - there was too much pressure.  But even Pei Wei, a half-hearted fan, could see this and it made him doubt himself.

    In fact, it¡¯s not his fault. Although Pei Wei is only a senior fan at most and is definitely not as good as these domestic coaches who have learned a lot in terms of team training and management, it is precisely because he pays great attention to the European League.  Compared with world football news and these domestic coaches who work behind closed doors, his vision is much higher, not to mention that his actual mental age is over 60. In any case, he has eaten so many more years.  Of course you know more.

    As expected by Pei Wei and Benitez, in such a confrontation, the Chinese team was obviously not as experienced as the Dutch team. When they were about to see the dawn of victory, the more experienced Dutch team had similar opportunities.  Seized an opportunity and overtook the score again.

    In a seemingly flawless defense, "Ice Prince" Bergkamp tore apart the Chinese team's defense with his outstanding personal ability.??, he used his gorgeous personal skills to get rid of his high school career and then shot a wonderful shot from the corner of the penalty area without any fireworks. The ball was in the air.

    A beautiful arc went straight into the dead center of the goal. Three to two, the Dutch team scored again!

    After seeing the Dutch team score, Benitez shook his head invisibly, and then sighed softly.

    This is the difference between a strong team and a weak team. The weak team's use of correct tactics and high fighting spirit may be able to make up for the gap in overall strength, but it cannot make up for the gap in players' personal abilities - the difference between superstars and ordinary players is exactly the same.  Here, a moment of their personal flash is enough to determine the outcome of the game. But, are superstars so easy to produce?

    Falling behind again made the Chinese fans feel depressed again. However, they were relieved that although the defeat was determined, the Chinese team did not collapse and still struggled with their opponents until the last moment. The Dutch team's desire to expand the score again was thwarted.  Empty.

    As the referee's whistle sounded, the warm-up match came to an end. The Chinese team lost the game, but did not lose face. Their performance also won the respect of their opponents. Players from both sides exchanged jerseys on the court.  Hiddink also took the initiative to walk over to the Chinese team's coaching bench and extended his hand to Pei Wei: "It was a wonderful game. The performance of the Chinese team surprised me."

    Pei Wei smiled slightly and half-turned to let Benitez out: "This is our head coachSpanish head coach Rafael Benitez - I am just a translator."

    ***************************************

    After the warm-up with the Dutch national team, the Chinese team's performance was highly praised: "They have good professionalism and excellent overall combat capabilities We have reason to be optimistic about the Chinese team's performance in the World Cup  France team, you have to be careful, in the first game, you have to accept the challenge from this East Asian team"

    In the next two warm-up matches, the Chinese team attracted many scouts to the scene to watch the game. Some of them came to spy on intelligence, while the other part were scouts from some European clubs to observe whether there were any problems in the Chinese team.  There are players worthy of attention and that can be introduced - after all, although European clubs have basically not yet thought of developing the Far East market, there are also many teams that are interested in the huge market of China.

    In these two warm-up matches, the Chinese team showed two other tactics.

    Facing a tall Norwegian team with nearly 10 players taller than 1.9 meters, the Chinese team gave full play to its advantages of speed and dexterity. Two forwards with excellent skills and speed beat the opponent's  The defensive line was turned upside down. Although there was no good way to defeat the opponent's high-altitude bombing defensively, they performed very well offensively. Hao Dong scored in two consecutive warm-up games, and assisted the other goal.  Wu Jiying in front of the goal succeeded in a follow-up shot, while forward Torre Flo scored two headers for the Norwegian team, and the two sides tied at 2-2.

    When facing the African team Monaco, the Chinese team went against the norm and changed the defensive and counterattack-oriented style of play in the first two warm-up matches. They actively started to attack, using the two full-backs to continuously attack and replace  When Gao Feng came on, Su Maozhen scored with a header, Nie Fei succeeded with a long shot from outside the penalty area, and General Fan scored a powerful direct free kick in the second half. The opponent only recovered one point through winger Haji, and the Chinese team won the third place in Europe.  The only win in the game.

    We achieved one win, one draw and one loss in three high-quality warm-up matches. This result satisfied the domestic fans and gave them greater hope of qualifying for the group stage - if we can also qualify in the group stage  If you can get such results, you might qualify!

    Regarding this argument, there is no comment within the Chinese team. Everyone, including the players, has a deep understanding that the water in world football is indeed relatively deep. Although they are confident in winning, they will not blindly think that they can win.  Will definitely win.

    Pei Wei, who knew the players' mentality very well, was naturally very happy. The Chinese players he remembered in his previous life were either blindly arrogant or excessively inferior, or they shouted loud slogans when playing against the world's top teams.  The sky is ringing, shouting that he is not afraid of anyone, and then being beaten back by others, and then he starts to blame the turf, the weather, the referee Or if he hits any cat or dog casually, he will be so nervous that he wants to hit Myanmar.  All overseas players are recalled to form the strongest lineup, going from one extreme to the other. This is undoubtedly the most undesirable mentality.

    The Chinese team has a very good mentality now. It can recognize its own shortcomings without losing confidence. Only with this mentality can it perform at its best.

    KnotAfter three warm-up games, the World Cup that the Chinese team has been waiting for for 40 years is coming.
