    Chapter 321: National Olympic Number, Floating in the Sky This work is recommended by registered members of Literature!

    For Chinese fans, although they do not pay as much attention to the Olympic team as to the national team, to a certain extent, the attention to the Olympics as a fan may not be enough, but for a large number of sports fans, entering  The significance of the Olympic Games is even higher than that of the World Cup.

    The slogan "Out of Asia, Go to the World" was first realized in the Olympic Games, that is, the 1988 Seoul Olympics. In the last round, when they had to win in order to qualify, the Chinese team played a soul-stirring performance.  In the game, they just defeated the Japanese team with two wonderful goals in the away game and advanced to the World Cup. This was a rare and proud moment in the history of Chinese football.

    In the history that Pei Wei knows, Chinese fans have a very strange phenomenon. Their expectations for the Olympic team seem to be higher than the national team, and their expectations for the youth team are higher than those of the Olympic team.  , but this is also determined by historical phenomena. Chinese players seem to perform better when they are young than after entering the national team. For example, the Chinese team has entered the World Youth Championship more than once, and can often win and qualify from the group.  matter, so it is inevitable that fans will have higher expectations for the younger national team.

    In fact, this is a rather abnormal expectation - in Europe, generally speaking, fans do not care too much about the results of youth teams. The attitude of European football powers towards youth teams is that results do not matter, the key is to see whether they can produce a few players.  A good prospect with superstar potential. After all, the main place for a player to show his value is the club. The World Cup is certainly the highest honor in world football, but after all, it only comes once every four years, and the league is played every year, and there are games every week.  , and it is the league that brings the most fun to fans.

    And the good results of the Chinese youth team may not necessarily be due to the fact that the players are not contaminated and are willing to work hard - of course, no one can erase this.  However, the overage phenomenon of Chinese youth players is also very serious. With the big players beating the small ones, coupled with strong discipline, with these two points, it is natural that China's youth teams at all levels can achieve relatively good results in world competitions.  What a strange thing.

    Although the national team finished last in the World Cup last year, it still has very high expectations for this Olympics. This can be seen from the first game against Vietnam, although it was only the group stage of the qualifying round.  stage competition.  It was an away game again, and surprisingly, thousands of Chinese fans came to watch the game. It is worth noting that only half of the local overseas Chinese in Hanoi accounted for it, and the remaining hundreds of Chinese fans came to Vietnam to watch at their own expense.  The Olympic team competes!

    Olympic team head coach Milu naturally knows the importance of the Olympic team qualifiers. After entering the World Cup last year, Chinese fans have already had a huge appetite. If they cannot enter the Olympic finals this time.  Then the fans will be more dissatisfied than before. At the same time, for him personally, the Olympic team is the best step for him to join the national team. Only by leading the Olympic team to the Olympics can he lead the fifth national team.  A chance to get to the World Cup.

    ? But luckily.  He has a good hand.

    How good is it? In the first game against the host Vietnam in the Hanoi Division, five of the six players of the right age who played overseas returned, but he put four of them on the bench.  Only Sun Chenghai was allowed to play, and the others Li Gang, Li Wei, Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu did not play.

    Even so, the lineup of the Chinese Olympic team can be called luxurious. The goalkeeper is Xiaofei from Yunjia Tianyu. Compared with Dalian's Cheng Dong, he has more experience. The four defenders are Sun Chenghai, Shu Changhe from Shandong.  Yunjia Tianyu's Zhu Guosheng partners as a central defender, the left back is Wu Jiang, also from Yunjia Tianyu, and the midfielder is Zhao Junzhe from Liaoning and former Qianlibao player Sui Liang.  The left midfielder is Huang Yong from the People's Liberation Army, the right midfielder is Tao Wei from Beijing, and the two forwards are partnered by Zhang Yulin from Liaoning and Wanpeng from Yunjia Tianyu.

    This lineup, which can only be regarded as half of the main team, did not save any face for the host in Hanoi. In front of the short Vietnamese team defender, Zhang Yulin's true qualities as a killer in front of the goal were vividly displayed. He scored three goals with a head kick and a kick. Wan Peng also scored a goal.  After scoring, the two full-backs also scored a goal each.  The score of 6-0 made everyone feel the power of this group of players who grew up under the influence of professional leagues.

    And in the second game against the Myanmar team.  Milu changed almost the entire main lineup, including Dalian goalkeeper Cheng Dong and Shanghai right midfielder Li Yan.  Yunjia's left midfielders Aylin and Li Wei partnered with Yunjia's Zheng Zhi to play as central defender. Two overseas players Li Gang and Zhang Xiaorui partnered in the center. The People's Liberation Army's Liu Wei and Qingdao's Ma Kang played as two full-backs. The striker partner was  It consists of Li Jinyu and Li Yi from the second-tier team Lokomotiv.

    The Chinese Olympic team, which had changed its entire lineup, once again had a massacre, 7 to 0.Sweeping Myanmar, Li Jinyu scored four goals, Zhang Xiaorui scored twice, and Li Yi also scored a goal. Compared with the previous one, this lineup obviously lacks some tacit understanding and relies more on Li Jinyu and Zhang Xiaorui.  This pair was originally the best partner in Qianlibao's coordinated attack, but it is obvious that their strength is indeed higher than that of domestic players.

    They won two games in two games and scored 13 goals without conceding a single goal. Even if their opponents were a group of amateur players, these two victories were enough to encourage Chinese fans.

    After defeating the Myanmar team, the Chinese Olympic team received another piece of good news. The last member, Nie Fei, successfully returned to the team after finishing his campaign in Serie A. So far, the 30 players on the first training list of the Chinese Olympic team  All players are gathered.

    "Haha, Nie Fei, you're finally here!" After Nie Fei walked into the hotel where the Olympic team was staying, several familiar people like Sun Chenghai, Zhu Guosheng, Wu Jiang and others immediately rushed up to them, and they were arm-in-arm with each other.  affectionate.

    "Hello." Nie Fei was also very happy. It had been a year since he went to Italy and he hadn't seen them for a year. It was indeed strange.

    "I'm finally back. Big names are big names. Their concentration time is half a month shorter than ours, Brother Fei. If you have any good things to do in the future, please think of me more." Zhu Guosheng patted Nie Fei on the shoulder and said with a smile.  .

    "Guosheng, you are teasing me again." Nie Fei said angrily: "You think I want to be late, Serie A ends the latest."

    After talking and laughing for a while, Nie Fei raised his head and greeted Ai Lin who was standing aside: "Linzi, long time no see."

    Aylin nodded. Nie Fei knew that he had this temper and was not surprised.  Turning around, he asked Sun Chenghai: "Should I go see the head coach first? Which floor is his room on?"

    "That's why the head coach asked us to wait for you here." Sun Chenghai said with a smile: "Come, I will take you there. He asked you to go see him as soon as you arrive."

    This is the first time Nie Fei met Milu, the head coach of the Olympic team.

    Nie Fei's first impression of Milu was that he looked much more pleasing to the eye than Benitez - at least, the long-lasting smile on his face made people look friendly, unlike Benitez.  With such a bossy face, Si can make people jump with an occasional smile.

    "Head coach, Nie Fei is here." Sun Chenghai knocked on the door.  Then he opened the door and led Nie Fei in.

    Milu, who was sitting at the table, raised his head, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Here you are? OK, sit down, what can you drink? I have coffee and tea here."

    Nie Fei smiled: "No need, I drank on the way here. I'm not thirsty."

    Milu did not force him: "Well, okay, Sun, if you have nothing to do, go out first. I want to talk to Nie."

    Sun Chenghai seemed to be very familiar with Milu. He nodded with a smile, took a pack of instant coffee from Milu's table, and then walked out with a smile.

    "This kid! His income is higher than mine, and he always takes advantage of me." Milu laughed and cursed, then asked Nie Fei to sit down: "Sit anywhere you want, the room is quite messy, don't mind."

    The room is really messy.  There were videotapes and newspapers everywhere, but Nie Fei was already very familiar with this environment. He had been to Coach Benitez's room many times before, and it was also in such a mess. Maybe this was a common problem among professional coaches.

    Even a coach like Wenger, who always appears in front of the public with an elegant demeanor, has the same mess in his workroom.

    "Nie Fei, I came to you today because I have something to say to you." Milu asked Nie Fei to sit down and said straight to the point: "I prefer to talk to you players who already have overseas experience. Because  There are some things I can say directly Nie Fei, your position is not that easy for me to arrange."

    Nie Fei raised his eyebrows.  He didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

    Milu was obviously very satisfied with Nie Fei's performance: "Playing in the Olympic qualifiers this time is related to whether we can participate in next year's Olympic Games I think you should know this better than me. The Olympic team will participate in three games this time."  The ten-man roster has basically gathered all the elites of this age group in China, so the competition must be fierce Of course, your strength is undoubted. You are the absolute main force of the national team and you play for a Serie A team. No matter where you come from.  They are all the main players of the Olympic team.¡±

    Nie Fei still didn't speak, and Milu didn't care, and continued talking on his own: "But, football is a sport of eleven people after all. It requires the joint efforts of all the players on the field to achieve victory. No player can  You can defeat your opponent with your own strength, but you came back late, and you are not familiar enough with your teammates. So although the game against the Korean team the day after tomorrow is very important, I still will not put you in the main lineup You  Understand myHave you missed it?  "

    "I understand." Nie Fei nodded: "My teammates and I haven't cooperated for a year, not to mention there are many other team members who have never cooperated before But I think before the second cycle begins,  During this period of training, I was able to establish a certain tacit understanding with my teammates.¡±

    "Well. I'm very happy that you think so." Milu nodded: "One more thing, before the final nine games, the Olympic team will conduct two training camps, one of which happens to be in the place where the Serie A is being held.  In the meantime, I hope you can return to China to participate in this training camp, and the first training camp will be in July, so you may have to sacrifice your vacation."

    "It doesn't matter, I don't have anywhere to go anyway, but I have to get the club's permission for training after the Serie A league starts. It's not an international A-level event. If they don't agree to let me go, I can't come back." Nie Fei put forward his point  doubt.

    "That's enough." Milu stood up with a smile and extended his hand to Nie Fei: "Welcome to the Olympic team."

    May 29th is the start of the third game of the Chinese Olympic team's Olympic qualifying group match. Their opponent is the last opponent in the group and the most difficult opponent to deal with - the one who has just been eliminated by the International  The Football Federation lifted the ban and the North Korean team can participate in international competitions.

    The North Korean team was a super strong team in Asia before. The best result of an Asian team in the World Cup was created by them in 1966.  In the World Cup in England, they first defeated the European strong team Italy in the group with a score of 1 to 0, causing this favorite to go home in the group stage. At that time, there were only 16 teams participating in the World Cup. After qualifying from the group  They directly entered the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals, they met another European powerhouse, the Portuguese team. Only thirty minutes into the game, they surprisingly led the Portuguese team with a big score of three to zero. If it were not for the Portuguese team,  The greatest player, Eusebio the Black Panther, played brilliantly.  If he scored four goals to help the Portuguese team succeed in a 5-3 comeback, then the first Asian team to enter the semi-finals would not be the Korean team in 2002.

    Although we only made it to the quarter-finals, at that time, in Europe, the right time and place were all on the side of the European teams.  The value of the top eight results obtained by the North Korean team is much higher than that of the South Korean team in 2002.

    Unfortunately, due to political reasons, they stopped participating in international football events in 1994. This year's Olympic qualifiers are the first time North Korean football has participated in international events in five years.

    This period was the golden age for the development of Asian football.  Japan and China started professionalizing their leagues at almost the same time, which brought a huge leap to the football level of these two countries. Both countries entered the World Cup in history. But has the strength of the North Korean team, which has been working behind closed doors for five years, improved or declined?  , this is still a mystery.

    Facing this mysterious team and fighting in an away game, the domestic media appeared to be more cautious. They believed that as long as they gave their best.  Only then can we deal with this opponent.

    However, the lineup Milu sent in this game was eye-opening. Compared with the previous game, more than half of the main lineup has been replaced: the goalkeeper Xiao Fei, and the four defenders from right to left are Zheng Zhi.  , Li Wei, Zhu Guosheng and Wu Jiang, Sun Chenghai was mentioned as the right midfielder, left midfielder Huang Yong, the two central midfielders are Li Gang and Zhao Junzhe, and the two forwards are Li Jinyu and Zhang Yulin.

    ? And the biggest player on the local Olympic team that FireWire joined.  The main force of the national team.  Nie Fei, the only Serie A player in China, was sitting on the bench with a smile on his face.

    All the fans were muttering in their hearts.  What is this Milu doing?  Against the strongest opponent in the group stage, he actually didn't send his strongest ace on the field?  How can you learn the same thing as Benitez? But when Benitez joined the national team, he also used most of the previous main players.

    ¡°But for the North Korean team, which has been away from Asian football for five years and is extremely isolated in the country, it doesn¡¯t matter who is on the Chinese Olympic team. They don¡¯t know the opponent¡¯s situation anyway.

    Like the Chinese Olympic team, the North Korean team also won two games. They first defeated Vietnam 3-0, and then defeated Myanmar 2-0. For the strongest opponent in this group, Milu will naturally not let go to inquire about the opponent's situation.  Opportunity, he has watched the videos of these two games several times, but he is not sure whether the North Korean players who played in these two games are all their main players.

    Regardless of whether they are all the main players or have one hand left, Milu still saw some clues in the opponent's tactics, and there is nothing particularly surprising. The players' basic skills are pretty good, but their skills are lacking, but their running  His mobility is really amazing. Basically, except for the goalkeeper, every player can run at least eight or nine kilometers in a game. This is a relatively large number.??It's an astonishing number.

    Therefore, the main lineup he arranged is composed of players who pay equal attention to technology and body. In his vision, as long as the Olympic team can take advantage of its technical advantages without suffering any physical losses, it is still possible to win.  Quite big.

    "Damn it. It's actually raining." On the way to the stadium, Milu frowned and looked at the drizzle outside the car window. The rain may be heavy or light, but the quality of the stadium turf in Vietnam is  You can't trust it too much. The rain was enough to make the field muddy but not enough to stop the game. At that time, it will definitely be more beneficial to the North Korean team, which has sufficient physical strength and excellent running ability.

    However, Milu felt a little more at ease after getting the opponent's lineup. The opponent's lineup was exactly the same as the previous two games.  It seems that the North Korean team did not retain much strength in the first two games. Judging from the level they showed in the first two games, they should not cause too much trouble to the Chinese team.

    "But, this damn rain" Milu looked at the weather outside the window again and sighed heavily.

    ¡°The rain has stopped!¡± Assistant coach Tang Pengju shouted happily, but Milu showed no joy. It had been raining for more than three hours, and the stadium must have become a swamp.  It doesn't matter if you stop or not, the effect is the same.

    The Olympic team played really hard in this game, and the muddy field caused a lot of trouble for their skills. On the contrary, the North Korean team, whose skills were relatively rough, was just like a duck in water. The first half of the game was dominated by endless fouls,  Ended in a mistake.  The two sides fought to a score of zero to zero.

    Milu adjusted the lineup in time during the halftime break and replaced Huang Yong with the faster Aylin. At the same time, he adjusted his tactics to avoid excessive entanglement with the opponent in the midfield.  When there was a chance, he hit two wings and then lobbed the ball into the penalty area. Zhang Yulin had an excellent header and Li Jinyu had outstanding ability to grab points. As long as he could seize one opportunity, he could basically win the game.

    Aren¡¯t you disrupting the war?  Then I will fight with you!  See who can seize the opportunity first.

    After adjusting their tactics, the Chinese team gradually took advantage in the second half, but failed to convert it into a goal. The most regrettable thing was that Aylin's long shot from outside the penalty area hit the opponent's defender and changed the line. It was about to roll in.  The ball in the goal was stuck to the mud on the ground.  He stopped in front of the goal and was thrown into his arms by the North Korean goalkeeper who was in a hurry.

    In the 78th minute of the game, the Chinese Olympic team's attack finally paid off. Zhang Yulin's header was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper. Li Jinyu quickly made up for it. This time the muddy field helped the Chinese team.  As a result, the ball suddenly accelerated a few points after sliding on the ground, and rolled into the goal from the armpit of the unprepared goalkeeper!

    This golden goal brought three consecutive victories to the Chinese Olympic team.  Now leading the points, they have almost entered the top nine.  I believe that after returning to the Shanghai Division, neither the Vietnam team nor the Myanmar team can prevent the Olympic team from winning.  With an absolute advantage in goal difference, they were even able to qualify one round early.

    After winning this game, the Olympic team also started smoothly in the following games. After returning to China for a week of training, the whole team went to Shanghai to start the second round of competition.

    They defeated Vietnam 5-0 and defeated Myanmar 3-0. Although these two victories are not brilliant, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Milu is using the game to train in order to quickly create a tacit understanding among the players.  In these two games, Nie Fei still did not play as the main player, but only played for more than half an hour each.

    The huge advantage of leading by eight goal differences made the last game against the North Korean team a mere formality. The ranking rules for this qualifier are to look at the points first, then the goal difference, and then the relationship between the winners and losers.  This is because the game is not divided into home and away games, but uses a division system, which means that if the North Korean team wants to qualify, it must beat the Chinese Olympic team by four goals, which is obviously a bit more difficult.

    Playing at home, the Chinese Olympic team once again defeated its opponents 2-0, advancing to the final nine with a record of winning six games, scoring 24 goals and not conceding a single goal.

    The ship of the Olympic team has begun their journey to the Olympic Games and has officially begun to float in the sky. Registered members of literature recommend this work.
