Chapter 189 U23 Asian Cup First Match
In the 91st minute, Hajić received the ball.
He wanted to break through, but Arabi stuck tightly to the opponent, not giving Hajic the space to break through.
Hajiqi was stuck, when he was about to make a fake move.The soles of my feet slipped and I fell.
Arabica was startled when she saw it.He quickly raised his hands, indicating that he had done nothing.Hajic fell by himself.
Hajiqi won't admit it, the most he can do is not to make exaggerated expressions or scream.
The referee came over and blew his whistle.
Seeing the referee blow his whistle, Arabi was taken aback.
No!
Another foul.Another free kick?
How does this work!
Arabi quit.
He jumped up and yelled loudly at the referee. "No, sir. I didn't do anything. He fell himself..."
Arabi shut up.Because he saw that the referee came forward and gave Hajić a yellow card, he decided that the opponent was diving.
Arabi exclaimed happily. "Sir, you are right. The other party is flopping. Your eyes are very bright!"
This time it was replaced by Hajiqi and quit.
I just messed with myself, and I didn't complain, and I didn't ask you to call a foul.
Why do you think I dived.
When Hajic wanted to ask the referee for an explanation, he was persuaded by captain Pedro.
Now that he has won a big victory over his opponent, if two yellows become one red, it will be a loss.
Seeing that there was no free kick, Zheng Long was very disappointed.
He still wants to try another free kick in this game!
Also lost are the fans of Zaragoza, who also want to see Zheng Yongxiu's free kick again.
Let's make the game more interesting!
such a pity!
This penalty is just a small episode of the game.
In the next game, Granada CF was afraid of giving Zaragoza a chance to take a free kick, so it became more cautious.
Zaragoza also felt that it was almost the same, and the game ended in a more friendly atmosphere.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Zaragoza defeated Zaragoza 5-0.
The fans were very happy with this big victory.They had a blast at the bar!
The players are also very happy.
No matter who can easily defeat the opponent, get a big victory.
Also very happy.
The only one who is unhappy is probably the head coach Popovich.
Because he received a fax.
When he saw the fax of the recruiting, he felt dizzy.
damn it.The team is cooperating tacitly, and the whole team is on the rise.It is time to grab points and catch up with Barcelona.
Zheng Long is going back to China to participate in the damn U23 Asian Cup and Rio Olympic qualifiers.
damn it.
What kind of game is that?
Is it important?
Popovich really wanted to throw this fax in the trash and act like he knew nothing.
However, he knew there was no point in doing so.
The opponent's head coach can call Zheng Long directly to confirm this matter.
At that time, the hidden things will have a bad impression on Zheng Long.
Popovich hit the phone button with a headache and shouted at his secretary.
"Let Zheng Long come to my office!"
Wait until the assistant coach calls Zheng Long to sit in the office.
Popovich put the fax in front of Zheng Long. "Your country's Olympic team sent a fax, wanting to recruit you!"
Zheng Long took it, looked at it briefly, and put it down.
Of course he understood the other party's attitude and meaning in his heart.
really.Popovich said seriously. "Dragon, now is your first season in La Liga. It is time for everyone to pay attention to you. For you, this season is very important. Of course, it is also very important for the team. If the national team wants to recruit you, I Nothing to say. But this kind of Olympic team game doesn't mean much to you. Does it?"
For Zheng Long's current fame, participating in the Olympic team has not yet participated in La Liga.
But for the Chinese team.Want to get a good ranking in the international arena.Only the Olympics.
As for the World Cup.Not to mention whether you can make it to the finals.
Even if you can?
Can we still expect the current national football team to win the World Cup?
Do not make jokes!
That is to say, the Olympic Games, which are not valued by European and American strong teams, can create miracles and get good rankings.
Even if it doesn't help much with your own fame.But as a Chinese, how could he not want to help the national team win medals on the world stage.
Although he knew that doing so would conflict with the interests of the club, even Zheng Long knew it in his heart.
It will also make teammates have opinions, but...
Say a thousand and a thousand.
As a Chinese, it is impossible not to help the national team win honor.
This has been integrated into the blood and cannot be given up.
Zheng Long said apologetically. "Sir, I know what you mean. But I can't refuse."
Popovich said hurriedly. "Is the Chinese Football Association forcing you? You don't have to be afraid of this. Our club will definitely stand by your side. Even if you want to sue the FIFA, we will do it!"
Zheng Long shook his head and said. "No. I'm just a fan of Huaxia, and I want to help the national team win and get a good ranking. That's all!"
Popovich heard it, and said a little lonely. "Oh. I see... I wish you the best of luck in winning the championship this time!"
In Popovich's view, such a game.With Zheng Long around, how could the China Olympic team fail to win the championship.
It is impossible for those Asian U23 teams to be stronger than Barcelona and Real Madrid!
Zheng Long nodded. "Thanks!"
……
On January 1, Zheng Long went directly to the United Arab Emirates and joined the Olympic team who had come here a few days earlier to adapt to the climate in West Asia.
In order to better prepare for this competition, the Olympic team will conduct two warm-up matches in the UAE.
In the first warm-up match, Zheng Long started.The Olympic team drew with Iraq 0:0.
In the second warm-up match 3 days later, Zheng Long did not start, and the Olympic team lost to the United Arab Emirates 0:2.
Five days before the start of the first group match, the Olympic team left the UAE and took a special plane to Doha, Qatar.
In the hotel where they stayed, we saw quite a few press corps.
This surprised the members of the Olympic team.
They did not expect that there would be so many reporters.
Among these journalists, Chinese journalists are of course the majority, but there are many foreign journalists among them.
I heard that Zheng Long is still called up to participate in this U23 Asian Cup.
With Zheng Long here, everyone has confidence in the team's performance.Many fans immediately had more expectations and enthusiasm for this Olympic team.
The enthusiasm of the fans came, and the natural sports TV station paid attention.
This time, many TV stations and websites temporarily dispatched reporting teams to report on the U23 Asian Cup.
As a player who has already made a name for himself in La Liga.
Zheng Long is the star player of this U23 Asian Cup. CTV5 also made an appointment with Zheng Long to do an exclusive interview in his spare time.
Seeing these reporters, many players exclaimed.
"That's a lot..."
"There are so many reporters...the competition has never happened before!"
"There are still many foreign reporters!"
Wang Nan, a reporter from CTV5, turned her back to the bus and faced the camera. She spoke with a microphone.
"In the past five years, Qatar has played the role of the "Luofengpo" of Chinese football. The national football team has encountered many setbacks here. However, in the top 5 match last year, the national football team led by Lippi defeated Qatar 40-2 in Doha. ... ended Qatar's unbeaten home run."
"Just a few months later, the Olympic team once again challenged the Qatar Olympic team in Doha. Can the Olympic team beat the Qatar Olympic team this time?"
"The interceptor Zheng Long, who helped the national football team defeat Qatar last time, can he help the national Olympic team defeat Qatar again this time."
"let us wait and see!"
When everyone got out of the car, they all looked at these huge numbers of reporters curiously.
Zheng Long was also a little surprised.
Thought he saw a lot of familiar faces.
As soon as Zheng Long got out of the car, he was surrounded by reporters, not only Chinese reporters, but also foreign reporters. They all came for Zheng Long.
CTV5 reporter Wang Nan hurried over.
When a national TV station wants to interview, Huaxia reporters have to save face and give up the channel.
Wang Nan interviewed Zheng Long with a microphone.
"Zheng Long. I heard that you have become the vice-captain of the team. Is it true?"
Zheng Long is now the most famous player in the team, and the head coach Bobo also wants to establish his prestige so that he can command his teammates to participate in the defense, so he followed Popovich's example and appointed Zheng Long as the vice-captain.
"Well, indeed! Coach Bobo hopes that I can set an example. I feel very honored to be the vice captain. Of course, I feel that the burden on me is even heavier!"
Wang Nan continued to ask. "I believe you will do a good job as the captain. What do you think about this Asian Cup? Do you think the team can get tickets for the 16 Olympic Games?"
"Of course! We came here just to participate in the 16 Olympic Games!"
"Thank you for the interview. I hope you can achieve your goals and successfully qualify for the 16 Olympic Games!"
……
The game will start on January 1th.Coach Bo Bo let the players rest for half a day.The team's adaptation training began the next day.
The first group match of the Olympic team on January 1 will start in the early morning of BJ time tomorrow. The Chinese Olympic team, which is preparing for the U12 Asian Cup in Doha, Qatar, holds a press conference.
Bobo sat at the press conference and said: "The opponent is very strong, but we have also made full preparations and hope that the two teams can play a wonderful game."
As soon as he finished speaking, a Chinese reporter stood up and asked.
"Before there were speculations from the outside world that Zhang Yuning, who was injured, and Liu Binbin, who had a cold, might not be able to make an appearance in the first game. Will Zhang Yuning and Liu Binbin play tomorrow? Will the team play with a full lineup?"
Fu Bo replied: "The 23 players we have come here are all main players. No matter which player plays, the field is our main lineup."
He also emphasized: "In the cup, the first game is very important, and at the same time there will be some difficulties and pressure. We want to minimize these pressures as much as possible, and hope to turn them into motivation."
Another reporter stood up and asked. "The Olympic team's opponent in the first game is Qatar. The prospect of this year's Olympic team is not optimistic. May I ask the head coach of Bobo, is he confident in defeating the host and winning the first round?"
Head coach Fu Bo replied. "I told the team members that in fact, every team participating in the competition, these 16 teams came with ideals and dreams. I didn't say that I came so I came here. We are the same, and we will go all out , everyone is working hard, I think that if we work together, we may create a miracle!"
"Each team has its own characteristics. Qatar is very strong, but do they dare to say that it is easy to play against the Chinese team? I think as long as we play our own well, the Olympic team is still very strong!"
As the host, the Qatar team also attaches great importance to the first group match, the team coach Sanchez also said at the press conference. "When facing the Chinese team, I hope to play the best level, win the first game, and lay a good foundation for the next game!"
On January 1, BJ time, Qatar played at home against the Chinese Olympic team.
Doha is an international sports capital, and there are many high-quality football fields in the area. It also gathers several of the best professional clubs in Qatar.This U23 Asian Cup has a total of 4 stadiums to host all 32 games. These stadiums are all venues for the 2022 World Cup.Among them, the three group matches of the Olympic team were held at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium, the home stadium of the Lehvia Club.
Before the game, CTV commentator Zhang Lu was doing pre-match analysis.
He said: "Most of the Qatar national team that played in the top 40 is composed of naturalized players, and the Qatar Olympic team also has many naturalized players, but they have grown up in the Asbel Elite Academy in Doha since they were young. This academy was established. The first batch of players built later is for Qatar to play in the 2022 World Cup in its home country.”
"There are 12 members of the Qatar Olympic team from European clubs, all of which are three teams affiliated with the Qatar Asbel Foundation: Urban in Belgium, LASK Linz in Austria and Leonesa in Spain."
"In addition, the team also has 5 international players including Ghanaian naturalized forward Muntari, defender Hassan and Yasir, midfielder Asadala and forward Afef. The strength is the strongest in this group. of."
“23人中有超过10人参加了去年的西亚U23锦标赛，也有多人参加过2014年亚青赛以及2015年新西兰世青赛，去年代表国家队在40强赛中对阵中国国足的4名队员也悉数入选。”
Zhan Jun analyzed the Chinese Olympic team.
"Many people commented that this Olympic team is the weakest Olympic team. But I don't think so. Xu Xin was trained at Atletico Madrid in Spain. What's more important is that this Olympic team has interceptor Zheng Long. A good goalkeeper can be worth half a team! Zheng Long alone can be worth half a team!"
"A few months ago, he just helped the national football team beat Qatar 2-0. Now he is the starting goalkeeper of the Olympic team. I hope he can still keep the goal and keep the opponent clean!"
"The Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium is the home stadium of the Qatari football giant Lehvia. In 2013, Guangzhou Evergrande played an away game in the AFC Champions League here. At that time, Evergrande won 4-1, breaking the record. In the past, it was difficult for the Chinese team to defeat the curse of the host team in West Asia games. From this perspective, this may also be regarded as a "blessed land" for Chinese football!"
Under the explanation of the commentator, the game is about to begin.
The starting lineup of the Chinese Olympic team is:
Goalkeeper No. 1 Zheng Long;
Defenders from left to right: No. 3 Mi Haolun, No. 5 Shi Ke, No. 6 Wang Tong, and No. 12 Zhang Xiaobin;
中场：11号吴兴涵、7号徐新、10号廖力生、20号李源号、17号谢鹏飞；
Forward: No. 9 Zhang Yuning
It seems that in the away game, facing the host, Bobo still chose the conservative 451 lineup.
Qatar Olympic team starting lineup:
Goalkeeper No. 22 Naeem;
Defenders from left to right: No. 3 Hassan, No. 2 Hader, No. 6 Yasser, No. 16 Mohamed;
Midfielders: No. 4 Muhen, No. 18 Madibo, No. 23 Fahd Ali;
Forwards: No. 11 Muntari, No. 10 Afef, No. 19 Moaz Ali.
At home, the host Qatar chose the main attacking 433 lineup.
With the referee's whistle sounded.
In the first match of the 2016 U23 Asian Cup and Rio Olympics qualifiers, the match between Qatar and the Olympic team officially started!
