Chapter 78 Will You Play Football?
The one-on-one challenge between Lu Feng and Lin Hai has become a scenic spot on the national youth team every evening. Lu Feng and Lin Hai are both top-notch players in the national youth team, and the showdown between them naturally attracted countless teammates to watch. However, what made Lu Feng very upset was that he basically lost in the showdown with Lin Hai.
There is no way to do this. Lu Feng can pass Lin Hai seven times out of ten times, while Lin Hai can pass Lu Feng nine times out of ten times. Lu Feng's defensive ability is really poor.
Three days after the training camp, the national youth team ushered in its first game, warm-up match against the UAE.
The training and competitions of this training camp are all for the training of the Asian Youth Championship in the second half of the year. Although Lu Feng was not selected for the National Youth Team in the qualifiers of the Asian Youth Championship, the National Youth Team still easily entered the finals.
The Asian Youth Championship is not only an honor that is so simple, but also represents the quota for the World Youth Championship final next year, which is naturally worthy of attention.
Since some people left and some joined, the strength of this national youth team was still in the running-in stage. Therefore, the opponents in the warm-up match did not arrange strong opponents.
There are three games in total, namely the UAE, Vietnam and the Czech Republic.
The UAE has seen a significant decline in football in recent years and is no longer an Asian dark horse. And Vietnam, let alone, has always been a bottom team. The Czech team's strength has been falling since the last century. Although there are occasional stars, it is an indisputable fact that the overall football level has declined.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, the National Youth Team will still win all three games.
The first match against the UAE was held at the CD Olympic Center. Because it was a national competition, the enthusiasm of the audience was still very high, and there were no few empty seats in the venue with more than 70,000 people.
After several days of training and observation, the main members of the National Youth Team have become quite obvious. The starting players are 11, including Lu Feng and Lin Hai without exception. Four members of the original Shuntian Youth Team have entered the starting list, which shows how strong the Shuntian Youth Team was at the beginning.
In today's game, Su Linqi and Du Man also sat in the audience. This undoubtedly greatly inspired Lu Feng and Lin Hai. Who wouldn't want to show themselves to the greatest extent in front of their beloved?
In addition, this is Lu Feng’s first time playing for the national team, and Lu Feng cannot let himself lose this game.
..
The UAE's national team's record in the past two years is poor, and domestic football talents have not been met. The strength of this UAE youth team is indeed much worse than that of the Chinese national youth team.
At the beginning of the game, the UAE team took advantage of the slow start of the Chinese team and launched several threatening attacks.
However, while land winds are improving, peers will not stop.
After winning the Evergrande Cup, the former member of the Shuntian youth team naturally attracted the attention of many teams at home and abroad. Many players left Shuntian and joined other teams. There were few people who stayed in Shuntian for the best youth training results.
There are even several players who have joined foreign clubs and have made good progress.
Xu Yang, the main goalkeeper of the Shuntian Youth Team, is also one of them. After leaving the Shuntian Youth Team, he is now firmly in a team in the China League One. At the beginning of this game, the UAE team had several threatening attacks, but did not threaten the goal he guarded.
Lu Feng couldn't help but look at Xu Yang with admiration. Unexpectedly, after a few months, Xu Yang became more mature, and his door-line technology had improved as he could see.
After the Chinese team entered the game, the UAE launched a defensive counterattack. Although the UAE youth team is currently not as strong as China, their head coach Sigra also has ambitions.
This Chinese national youth team is praised by the Chinese as the "Diamond Generation", and there are players like Land Feng. It would be great for him to defeat this Chinese national youth team.
He has always wanted to lead the UAE national team, not a youth team. Although this is just a warm-up match, as long as he defeats this Chinese team, it will definitely be of great help and extra points for him to become the head coach of the UAE national team.
When the head coach demands victory, the mentality of the UAE players is imagined, and they also want to win this game. Even if their strength is worse than that of Chinese players, things on the football field cannot be won by being strong, otherwise, how could there be so many upsets?
Therefore, although it was a warm-up match, the UAE players also treated it as a formal international competition, and they were all very serious.
On the other hand, the opponent's strength is not as strong as himself, and it is an irrelevant warm-up game. In terms of mentality, Chinese players lose.
However, this does not include Lu Feng. This is Lu Feng's debut in the national team. Lu Feng naturally hopes to have a good start. It is best to score goals. If you can't score goals, you must at least help the team win.
However, things went against my wishes, Lu Feng played very awkwardly on the court.
The reason why Lu Feng played awkwardly was not because his teammates had any grudges with him and were unwilling to cooperate with him, but because Lu Feng and his teammates were difficult to play together.
The rhythm of the Chinese Super League is completely different from that of Brazil. The difference in the rhythm of the game has led to different thinking methods of the players. What's more, there are many new players in this national youth team who are new to this national youth team and are already lacking in tacit cooperation.
Therefore, this scene often occurs on the court. Lu Feng raises his hand to ask for the ball, but it takes a while before the ball can be passed to Lu Feng's feet. Or, Lu Feng suddenly penetrates forward, but the football does not come. When the football comes, Lu Feng is offside.
After several times this happened, Lu Feng was so angry that he couldn't blame his teammates. After all, it was not that his teammates did not cooperate with him, but that he couldn't cooperate.
Moreover, after several such mistakes, my teammates were not willing to pass the ball to Lu Feng. Anyway, you, Lu Feng, are not the only striker on the court. Since you will make mistakes in passing the ball with you, I might as well pass it to others.
Lu Feng could only watch it depressedly. Zheng Tao, who was also a striker, got the ball more and performed individually again and again. Moreover, Zheng Tao always resented Lu Feng in his heart. He usually endured the attack and did not have so many concerns during the game. He just didn't pass the ball to Lu Feng.
It is difficult to pass it to Lu Feng once, basically when Zheng Tao is prevented by the opponent. Moreover, when passing the ball, Zheng Tao did not forget Yin Lu Feng. The ball passed was either weaker or larger. It was either high or made Lu Feng uncomfortable. It was all kinds of troubles that Lu Feng could not catch the ball well.
After another Zheng Tao was blocked and passed an outrageous ball to Lu Feng. After Lu Feng tried his best but failed to receive it, Lu Feng finally couldn't help it and rushed directly to Zheng Tao.
