Chapter 328
The traditional East Asian Cup matches are played in WH.The national football team regards this event as the final training before the World Cup qualifiers and attaches great importance to it. All international players who play in Europe are recruited.

On August 8, in the first match of the East Asian Cup, Shi Hao and Jun Yingzhi fed each other a ball. After falling behind 2:0, they fought hard to catch up and drew with South Korea 2:2.

After the game, the Chinese media were not satisfied with what the Chinese team showed in this game.

Because the visiting Japanese and Korean teams are mainly youth teams, overseas players are basically not recruited.

In the face of South Korea's second team, the Chinese team once behaved extremely flustered, with a loose formation, and was easily defeated by the South Korean team twice.Zhang Yong appeared in the position of central defender, but did not play the midfielder he played in Serie A and Serie B in the past few years. He showed that his turning speed was too slow and his position was too forward.

The offensive end did not launch any good-looking offenses, basically relying on long passes to break into the opponent's penalty area.

Even if the score is equalized in the end, it is only a manifestation of the personal skills of Shi Hao and Jun Yingzhi. Generally speaking, the Chinese team's offense is not impressive.

And throughout the night, Chelsea lost 0-1 to Arsenal in the Community Shield.After the game, Costa called Shi Hao to complain, saying, "The team's combat effectiveness dropped a lot all of a sudden."

Shi Hao comforted him and said: "Hiddink has just arrived, and everyone is not familiar with his style of play. It will be fine after a while."

"You don't know," Costa said, "Some teammates feel that they have won the honor, and now they want to make money. Someone told me yesterday that a Chinese Super League team contacted him and offered him an annual salary of 4000 million euros. Acting very emotionally. He is so young..."

Shi Hao felt very surprised: "Who is it?"

"I can't tell you about this," Costa said, not a teller, "I hope you come back soon."

"It's a pity that I shouldn't be able to participate in the opening game." Chelsea's first Premier League game was played on the evening of August 8, while the last game of the East Asian Cup Chinese team was played on August 8.

On August 8, the head coach Pei Lan carried out a big rotation of the lineup, Shi Hao and Jun Yingzhi did not start the game.In this game, the Chinese team defeated the North Korean team, which has been gradually eliminated by modern football, 5:2.

However, the media still criticized Pei Jiajun a lot. They believed that the defense of this Chinese team was unreliable, and the offense would only rely on Shi Hao and Jun Yingzhi. In this game, Shi Hao and Jun Yingzhi were not on the field, and the goal was dependent on Meng.

If it is in this state to play in the world preliminaries, even if the Chinese team can rely on the flashes of Shi Hao and Jun Yingzhi to reach the top 12, they will not be able to stand out and enter the finals.

On the night of August 8th, Shi Hao got up secretly in the middle of the night and watched the live broadcast of Chelsea's game on his mobile phone in his room.

In the first league game of the new season, Chelsea played against Swansea at Stamford Bridge. In the first half, they first relied on Oscar's free kick to break the deadlock, and soon Ayew equalized the score for Swansea.Before the end of the first half, Swansea's own goal gave Chelsea a 2:1 lead at home.

But shortly after the start of the second half, Courtois tripped Gomis in the penalty area and was sent off. Gomis scored a penalty kick.

In the following games, Chelsea fought with 10 players and did not concede a goal, but they were unable to rewrite the score, and finally shook hands with Swansea 2:2.

After watching the game, it was already past 2 o'clock in the morning, Shi Hao had no time to express his emotions, so he quickly turned off the lights and went to sleep.

In the match between the Chinese team and the Japanese team the next day, Shi Hao first opened the scoring with a free kick.But the Japanese team played very smoothly, blasting the Chinese team's midfielder and creating dangerous situations one after another. Usami Takashi hit the crossbar and almost equalized the score.

However, under the continuous pressure of the Japanese midfielder, the Chinese team still made frequent mistakes and could only rely on physical strength and hard work to make up the gap.

In this game, Shi Hao was once again placed in the midfield position. However, even with him in charge, the Chinese team's midfielder still could not hold up. not out.

Although Shi Hao has the ability to organize offenses, he is more used to organizing in the frontcourt. When he is placed in the midfield, his weakness in defense is completely exposed, and the Japanese team uses him as a breakthrough one after another.

In the 30th minute, the Japanese team once again organized a smooth attack, Yuki Muto received a pass from Tsuneki Yonekura and scored an equalizer goal.

The Japanese team was not reconciled to ending the cup with only a draw. They launched an attack wave after wave in the second half.

And this also gave the Chinese team a chance to fight back.In the 67th minute, Shi Hao grabbed the ball in the backcourt, turned around and made a long pass to the empty space. Jun Yingzhi took the lead in the fight, dribbling the ball straight in at high speed, and the goalkeeper of the Japanese team who was attacking from outside the penalty area blasted in. Net, once again took the lead for the Chinese team.

Although the Chinese team's defense line has been beaten to pieces, the Japanese team also suffered from physical problems and failed to grasp the advantage. In the end, they lost to the Chinese team 1:2 when the scene was dominant.

In the end, the Chinese team won the East Asian Cup with 7 points.

After this game, Shi Hao didn't stay long and returned to the club soon.During the Chinese team's games, Shi Hao always felt aggrieved.

When he was in the club, Sun Xingmin and Shinji Okazaki were all beaten by him.But at the national team level, even as a substitute for these people, he played so hard.

The ball he passes can accurately find his teammates, but his teammates can't stop steadily; he can run to a reasonable position, but his teammates can't always see him.Only when he cooperates with Jun Yingzhi can he find some sense.

Just like this... Want to reach the top 8 of the World Cup?Shi Hao felt very pessimistic.

But he still can't help but care about the media's evaluation of the national team.

Perrin believes that the Chinese team in the East Asian Cup was not outstanding, but it achieved the goal of training.

However, most media believe that Perrin's coaching ideas are not suitable for the Chinese team, and he failed to integrate the Chinese team.

In most of the game time, the Chinese team was a group of stragglers on the field, with a lack of organization in offense and a lack of complementing each other in defense.

In the first game, although the Chinese team barely drew with the South Korean team, judging from the game data, they ran 11 kilometers less than their opponents.It means that each player on the field runs 1 km less on average... In modern football, which is increasingly focused on running, this data is very telling.There is no mature style of play, no effective combination, no skillful coordination...

Although North Korea won the second game, the number of shots taken by the national football team was only one-third of that of North Korea.

In the last game against the Japanese team, although they won in the end, judging from the use of skills and tactics on the field and the threatening shots created, the national football team is far behind this team that has no overseas players, all selected from the local area, and the average age is different. To the 23-year-old Japanese second team.

There is a long way to go!
