    The 1999 season came earlier than in previous years

    Although the league will not officially start until March 21, two events that have attracted special attention from Chinese fans have been launched before then.

    From January 29th to February 7th, the second Dunhill Cup will be held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The newly appointed head coach of the National Olympic Team Milu will lead the Chinese Olympic Team to participate in this event, and then in February  From the 10th to February 14th, the 18th Asian Club Cup East Asia Final Four will be held in Chongqing. At that time, two Chinese clubs will participate in this event. They are the defending champion Dalian Dongfang and the 1997 China League A.  League champion Yunjia Tianyu, their opponents are South Korea's K-League champion Busan Daewoo and Japan's J-League champion Iwata Jubelo. Of course, Chinese fans are expecting that both Chinese clubs can qualify and advance to the finals.  Contest.

    To say that this hope is not an extravagant hope, Dalian Oriental was originally the champion of the Asian Club Cup last year. Although it was very dangerous to win against South Korea's Pohang Steelers in the end, they won after all. With Dalian's foundation and strength, they have always been  The bridgehead against Japanese and Korean clubs, and the clubs in West Asia are not that strong at this time. As for Yunjia Tianyu, although this is the first time in their history that they have participated in the Asian Club Cup, but just watching them win the Asian Winners Cup  The champion's excellent performance is enough to give fans high expectations for them.

    Coupled with the home court advantage and the convenience of the schedule (the game between Yunjia Tianyu and Dalian Dongfang is the last round), it is definitely not an extravagant hope to qualify both.

    On January 28, Yunjia Tianyu set off from Yunjia. Pei Wei made a big move and chartered a special plane to bring the players to Chongqing to start preparations for the East Asia Final Four two weeks later.

    The game is scheduled to be held at Datianwan Stadium in Chongqing and Yanghe Sports Center, the home stadium of Chongqing Oneworld. Chongqing was originally part of Sichuan. Although it has now become a municipality directly under the Central Government, Chongqing people still have the fiery and unwilling temper of Sichuan people. Looking back on the future of 2004  During the fiery scenes of the Asian Cup in Chongqing, Pei Wei knew that playing here was no different from playing at home.

    After arriving in Chongqing, the life of the Yunjia Tianyu players became very simple: adapt to the venue and adjust their condition during the day, and gather together to watch the game at night if they have nothing to do. What game are they watching?  The Olympic team competes in the Dunhill Cup.

    Like the East Asian semi-finals, the Dunhill Cup schedule is equally tight, with a game played every other day, which is a big challenge to the players' physical strength.

    Milu, who took office for the first time, was not very lucky, because in the first game of the group stage, the National Olympic team met the strongest opponent in the group and the strongest opponent among the participating teams in this cup, the Korean Olympic team.

    As a coach who has only been with the team for more than ten days, Milu has no use for his magic. He can only use the main lineup suggested by the Chinese Football Association. The goalkeeper is Cheng Dong from Dalian and the defender is from Qingdao.  Ma Kang, Shu Chang from Shandong, Zhu Guosheng and Wu Jiang from Yunjia Tianyu, Ai Lin from Yunjia Tianyu in the midfield, Huang Yong from the People's Liberation Army, Zhao Junzhe from Liaoning and Tao Wei from Beijing, and Wanpeng and Liaoning's forwards  Zhang Yulin partners up front.

    The ability of this lineup cannot be said to be weak. Basically, they are all players who have been able to play the main or semi-main role in various club teams. In particular, Zhang Yulin, Zhao Junzhe, Ma Kang, Zhu Guosheng and others are the absolute main players of the club.  The others also have at least one more season of professional league experience, and they are not inferior to their opponents in terms of physical strength or technology. However, the biggest problem with this Olympic team now is the lack of tacit understanding.

    In the first half of the game, the Chinese team made frequent mistakes, and the opponent continued to launch quick counterattacks while strengthening the midfield press. The Chinese team could only follow the opponent's rhythm, and soon fell behind by one goal. Shortly after the start of the second half  Another goal was scored by the opponent. Although the Chinese team adjusted their mentality below, Aylin broke through from the wing and passed it to Wan Peng in front of the penalty area. Wan Peng cleverly passed the ball to Zhang Yulin in the penalty area. Zhang Yulin got one back in one fell swoop.  points, but the Chinese Olympic team still lost to its opponent with a score of 1 to 2.

    Although they lost the game, the performance of the Olympic team was pretty good, especially when the absolute main players such as Nie Fei and Sun Chenghai were not here. But for Milu, his debut was not good.

    The next opponent of the Chinese Olympic team is the Bulgarian Olympic team from Europe. In the first game, they bloodbathed the Malaysian team with a score of 5 to 0. If the Chinese Olympic team loses again in this game,  They will lose the chance to qualify from the group.

    "Vietnam is quite shameless." After watching the game, Pei Wei said to Benitez with a smile: "Look at the teams in the other group Vietnam, Singapore, Myanmar put the three teams  It¡¯s really shameless that the strongest teams are in the same group.¡±

      "This can be considered an opportunity to test the Olympic team." Benitez said: "I am very interested in taking a look at Bora.

    It takes time to adjust the player's condition. Bulgaria does not have any outstanding players after Barako. Although this team is their Olympic team, the level is not necessarily higher than that of the Chinese Olympic team. If they win  This game is not without its chances.  "

    Pei Wei was thinking about something else. Although Xu would not decide Milu's stay or leave just because of a few games after his own persuasion, the public opinion orientation of the Chinese football community is extremely snobbish (perhaps the football media around the world are  It's the same snobbery. If you score a hat trick, you will be considered a first-class player. If you score two goals in a row, you will be called a king. If you score two goals in the next game, you will be called an emperor. When you are in good shape, you will be called a king.  If you don't score, some people will immediately think that you are dead.) If the Olympic team fails to achieve satisfactory results in such an invitational tournament, it will definitely be very detrimental to Milutin's future work.

    Milu is a foreign coach. After Uncle Shi's poor performance, Chinese fans and public opinion did not believe in foreign coaches. Although the Chinese fans have already shown confidence in the performance of two truly world-class coaches, Wenger and Benitez.  The prejudice against foreign teachers has gradually been reversed, but the pain left by 92 to Chinese fans is too deep and difficult to heal.

    Although it doesn't matter if they all lose, it is not Milu's fault, but if public opinion and fans are preconceived that coach Milu is a "parallel import", it is likely to lead to players' distrust of the coach, and even more  Not to mention that there are two assistant coaches on the Olympic team who once had great hopes of becoming head coaches but now have to step aside - who can say that they are not dissatisfied?

    There is less than half a year left until the Olympic qualifying group stage, and the Olympic team can no longer withstand such a torment.

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

    Although the Football Association did not give Milu any regulations, and even losing the game does not prove that Milu's ability is limited, Milu himself did not promise any results - but this does not mean that Milu will  Doing nothing, letting the two assistant coaches do whatever they want.

    With his many years of experience in the world, how could he not see that the two assistant coaches seemed to be respectful to him, but in fact they were dissatisfied - it's just that he was never used to having assistant coaches around him, and he always coached alone in any country.  So if he wants the entire coaching staff to cooperate with him, he must first come up with something to convince others.

    Before the start of the second game, he made major changes to the lineup. The formation changed from 442 to 352. Wu Jiang was moved to the midfield, and the two central players Zhao Junzhe and Tao Wei were given more defensive tasks.  Wanpeng retreated to play as an attacking midfielder, Aylin stepped up to play as a winger, and Zhang Yulin shouldered the offensive responsibility alone, giving the midfielders and backfield players more opportunities to attack.

    "This Bulgarian team is strong in forwards and defenders. Their midfield is relatively weak, so we have to base ourselves on the midfield. First of all, we have the advantage in the midfield. Huang Yong and Wu Jiang on both sides can boldly step in and exchange defensive tasks.  Give Zhao Junzhe and Tao Wei to attack with multiple points to open up the opponent's defense." The full-time translator assigned to Milu by the Football Association from Yunjia Tianyu arranged tactics before the game. Milu did not wait around for more than ten days.  , but carefully watched the game videos of Yunjia Tianyu and Liaoning Tianyun, the two clubs with the most appearances among the current players of the Olympic team. He knew that it was impossible to familiarize the players with other tactics in such a short few days.  So he decided to maximize the chemistry between players from both clubs.

    Aylin and Wu Jiang¡¯s breakthrough on the left and Wanpeng¡¯s insertion in the middle are Yunjia Tianyu¡¯s more commonly used routines, and there is no problem with the cooperation between Zhao Junzhe and Zhang Yulin. This is exactly the purpose of Milu¡¯s tactics.

    Milu's careful arrangements worked. In the match on February 1st, the Chinese Olympic team beat the Bulgarian Olympic team 2-1. The two goals were exactly the same. Wu Jiang and Aylin cooperated on the wing and then separated each other.  On the defense line, Zhang Yulin attracted the opponent's defense in the penalty area, and Wan Peng, who inserted in the back row, blocked the throat with a sword. On defense, three central defenders and two midfielders prevented the opponent's counterattack. The Chinese team won  A crucial game.

    The next thing was simple. After sweeping the Malaysian team 7-1, the Chinese team entered the semi-finals as the second place in the group, and then defeated the host Vietnam team 3-0 in the semi-finals to advance to the final.

    Although the Olympic team lost to the Korean Olympic team again in a penalty shootout in the final and finished second, it only lost to South Korea twice in the absence of several main players, which basically satisfied everyone.

    ¡°Next, it¡¯s our turn.¡± Pei Wei said to Benitez with a smile.
