After the victory over Atletico Madrid, Yunsheng gave all the players a day off that night.
World Cup qualifiers around the world are in full swing. Although there is still a lot of time before the game, Yunsheng still takes an early vacation to allow the players to prepare for the national team in advance.
Ronaldo, Berbatov, Maicon, Balzaretti... players who have been called by the national team rushed to the match location, joined the national team, and started training in advance.
What Yunsheng is most concerned about is definitely the situation of the Chinese national team.
Wu Lei, Cai Huikang and Zhang Linpeng, all three were called up by the national team. They returned to China in advance to prepare for the top ten Asian games on September 10.
Recalling the parallel world in his previous life, Yun Sheng felt quite sad.
In the previous 2014 Asian World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team was assigned to a group with Iraq, Jordan and Singapore. This is obviously a good draw. Except for Iraq, which can compete with the Chinese team, Jordan and Singapore are obviously not as strong as the Chinese team.
But in the end, the Chinese team lost one after another, losing to Iraq twice at home and away, which completely cost them the possibility of ranking first in the group.
In the contest with Jordan, the Chinese team won one and lost one, and actually got a tie. And when Jordan defeated Iraq in an upset away game, the Chinese team completely lost the possibility of second place in the group. In the end, they once again fell in front of the top 10, leaving thousands of Chinese fans devastated. …
But in this life, the situation is completely different!
Many Chinese players living in Europe have returned, giving the Chinese team a completely new look!
On the front line, there are strong players such as Dong Fangzhuo, Wu Lei, Yu Dabao, Gao Lin, and Yang Xu; the midfield lineup is even more luxurious, with Chen Tao and Wang Chuhe both winning top league season awards, while Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi, Stars such as Zhou Haibing, Hao Junmin, and Yu Hai also performed well in the five major leagues; Zhang Linpeng led the defense, and a group of young defenders such as Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Chengdong, Jiang Zhipeng, and Li Xuepeng rose rapidly!
In addition, there are several domestic experienced veterans and outstanding newcomers. This Chinese team has received great expectations from fans!
In the games against three opponents, except for the away draw with Iraq, the Chinese team won the remaining five games! Smoothly advanced to the top ten by ranking first in the group!
Compared with the previous life, this time the Chinese team took Jordan's place and joined hands with Iraq to qualify! This is a happy event that the whole country celebrates!
You must know that before this, the Chinese team had not played in the top ten games for more than ten years!
However, for Chinese fans, entering the top ten is just commonplace. They are full of expectations for this rapidly rising Chinese team.
In the top ten groupings, the Chinese team's grouping is not too bad. They are placed in Group B with Japan, Australia, Oman and Iraq.
In this way, the qualifying situation has greatly increased again!
Oman is obviously not as strong as the Chinese team, and Iraq was the Chinese team's loser in the last round. The only ones that can compete with the Chinese team are Japan and Australia. However, even if compared with each other, Japan and Australia do not have as many players and high quality as the Chinese national team in Europe!
Under this circumstance, the Chinese fans are becoming more and more excited and are looking forward to the Chinese team's journey!
In June of this year, the European continent is hosting the European Cup in full swing, and on the land of Asia, the top ten competitions have also ignited war.
On June 3, June 8 and June 12, the top ten games have already had three rounds.
The Chinese team faced Iraq at home and Japan away from home in the first two games, and received a bye in the third round.
But these two games gave Chinese fans a blow...
Facing Iraq in the first game, Chinese fans were full of confidence.
Not only Chinese fans, but also Chinese generals believe that there is no problem in winning against their opponents!
It is an opponent that has been defeated in the group stage, it is an away game, and the strength is stronger than the opponent, how can there be a possibility that it cannot win?
But in the end, the game ended in a 1-1 draw. The Chinese team was tied by their opponents at home and unfortunately lost the necessary three points.
The Chinese team started the game well. Chen Tao's wonderful pass helped Dong Fangzhuo create a one-on-one opportunity. Dong Fangzhuo used his speed to get past the opponent's central defender and volleyed hard into the near corner of the goal to take a 1-0 lead.
But less than ten minutes later, Iraqi player Akram took advantage of a corner kick and shot into the net during the chaos in front of the goal, helping Iraq equalize the score.
The next time is the half-court attack practice of the Chinese team. Throughout the game, the Chinese team suppressed Iraq and bombed them indiscriminately, hoping to take the lead again as soon as possible.
Chen Tao and Wang Chuhe frequently pushed forward and made wonderful passes in the midfield. Dong Fangzhuo and Yu Dabao continued to create opportunities on the front line. Shao Jiayi and Zheng Zhi also used free kicks and long shots to find scoring opportunities...
But in the end, the Chinese team still failed to score. Although the Hua Guo team coach Gao Bo continuously sent out Wu Lei, Yu Hai and other offensive players in the second half to continue to strengthen the offense, the two sides did not score another goal until the referee blew the full-time whistle.
This game that the Chinese team thought was a sure win ended up with a 1-1 draw, unfortunately.
After the game, Gao Bo faced the media interview with regret on his face: "Most of our players have just finished the five major leagues, their physical condition is not at their best, and they still need time to rest. In the next game against Japan, we will I will definitely be in better shape and try to win the game!”
Originally, according to Gao Bo's idea, he hoped to win Iraq, and then win the best against Japan in the away game. Even a draw with Japan would be acceptable.
Looking at the situation now, since the mistake resulted in a draw with Iraq, in order to calm the anger of the fans and senior management, Gao Bo must go all out to win the next game!
However, can victory be achieved if you want it?
Facing the strongest Japanese team in the group away from home, the Chinese players once again suffered a loss.
Although the Chinese team desperately tried to win, and although the number and quality of their overseas troops had exceeded that of the Japanese team, in the end, they still lost this game, and they also lost by a painful score...
In the opening stage of the game, the Chinese team was going back and forth with the Japanese team, and the scene was relatively balanced.
But after a long time, all fans saw the problem: the overall cooperation of the Chinese team was far from good!
Although there are many main players from European giants in this Chinese team, the number of players who have won the Champions League alone is very impressive.
The personal skills of many of them far exceed the average level of the Japanese team. Regardless of the ball control of Chen Tao and Wang Chuhe, or the impact of Dong Fangzhuo and Wu Lei, the Japanese team is constantly in danger in front of the goal.
However, fans still discovered a big problem...
