Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 366: Four-goal victory over Syria, on the eve of the match (Chinese National Football Team)

Post-match press conference.

"Yes, it's not shameful to lose to the Chinese team. They have the best players in the world right now, bar none."

"Look at the high-tech moves he made in this game, maybe more than some players in their entire careers."

"I started my coaching career in Spain and I know too well what kind of qualitative change this kind of player can bring to a team."

"I think any head coach of a team in the world would hope to have a player like Chu Feng in the team, but unfortunately there is only one Chu Feng in the world."

"Of course, before the game everyone was saying that we could just target Chu Feng, but so many clubs in European football have targeted him and failed to achieve very good results. It's not that they or we are too weak, but Chu Feng's personal ability is too strong. He can always break through the opponent's limitations."

"We must continue to work hard and strive to qualify as the second in the group."

Sanchez did not act tough before the game.

Nonsense, he is not Ten Hag, and he wants to equalize after the game.

Is Chu Feng strong?
Strong.

Then just put all the blame for the loss on Chu Feng. It has nothing to do with your own tactics or the performance of the players anyway.

Reporters in the audience took notes.

As Chu Feng won the Golden Globe Award, many "Chu fans" appeared in the world, and it seems that one more was added today.

In another meeting room.

After Fu Bo was asked two questions, he was left aside by the reporters, while Chu Feng was surrounded by microphones.

The press officer took great pains to restore order at the scene and signaled the CCTV reporters to come first.

"Hello, first of all, congratulations to the Chinese team for their good start, and congratulations on your hat trick in this game. What are your subsequent goals?"

The CCTV reporter asked.

"Because only the top three can get direct tickets to the Olympics, and the fourth place will have to play in a play-off with a CAF team, so our goal is to be in the top three, and of course the higher the result, the better."

Chu Feng’s goal is definitely to win the championship, but sometimes he has to be more reserved and it’s not too late to wait until he enters the finals.

"I hope to see you at the Tokyo Olympics this year. I have another question. People have been saying that Group B is the group of death. We will play against Syria U23 in three days. What do you think of this game?"

The CCTV reporter asked again.

"I remember someone asked me a similar question in the Asian qualifiers. My answer was that I didn't need to know who they were. It was enough for them to know who I was. The final group of death should be for them."

Chu Feng smiled warmly.

"Okay, last question. In the League Cup semi-final that ended yesterday, Manchester United lost 1:2 to Manchester City. Does this have any impact on you?"

The CCTV reporter seemed a little hesitant when asking questions, mainly because he was worried that the club would put pressure on him.

"Of course there is an impact, but it's not a big one. I have discussed it with the club and coach before I came here. I will stay in Thailand until the end of the U23 Asian Cup."

Chu Feng said softly.

In fact, with Manchester United's lineup this season, the departure of Pogba and others, and the joining of Havertz and others, the tactical system needs to be readapted and is not suitable for multi-line operations.

According to Mourinho, the team will give up domestic cup competitions such as the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, and strive for three consecutive titles in the Champions League and the league.

As for recreating the glory of the seven-time champion, we can only wait until the system is completed.

Therefore, Chu Feng's departure during this period did not have much impact on Manchester United.

Of course, if other players were replaced, the club would definitely not agree.

Just imagine, Mbappe wants to participate in the Olympics, and the club is determined not to let him go.

But Chu Feng’s status in Manchester United is too high, so high that ordinary people can’t imagine it.

Half an hour later, Chu Feng, who had finished the news interview, followed his teammates back to the hotel where they were staying. While relaxing during the physical therapy, he watched videos of Syria and Japan.

"Japan has an incomplete squad, which consists mostly of domestic league players, so the overall strength is not strong, not even as good as Qatar."

Chu Feng muttered to himself.

He feels that with the level of the Chinese team, it is very certain that they will qualify from the group stage, and the important thing is the knockout stage.

not far away.

"See? The media reported before that before every game, Brother Chu would study his opponents, and after every game, Brother Chu would review the game. Football nowadays is not like before. You can't just rely on your body, you also have to use your brain!"

Zhu Chenjie said in a low voice.

The other team members also nodded and decided to go back and stop playing games and watching TV, and also review their own shortcomings and strengths in the game.

Sometimes, the role of a leader is not only reflected on the court, but also off the court.

Every young person has a goal to pursue. Although the distance between them is far, this makes people motivated.

late at night.

All major Chinese social media platforms were flooded with reports of China U23's victory over Qatar U23, and Chinese fans also commented with joy.

《3:0! A three-goal victory over Qatar, the third place in the last U23 Asian Cup. Chinese player Chu Feng scored a hat trick in a single game and topped the scorer list of the tournament! 》

"Super-powerful mid-air headers, leisurely escapes, lightning counterattacks at extreme speeds, this game has become a show for the Ballon d'Or winner!"

"Analysis of China U23's qualifying situation: Qatar is the strongest in the group, Japan is second but has an incomplete lineup, and Syria, a fourth-tier team, poses little threat!"

"Syria U23 2:1 Japan U23, after the game Japanese fans held up a homemade banner: Moriyasu Kazuo, incompetent, get out!"

"South Korea U23 2:0 Iran U23, Cho Kyu-sung and Lee Kang-in scored, head coach Kim Hak-beom said that the South Korean team is aiming for the championship!"

"."
-
[I watched the Korean players' game first and thought they played really well, especially Li Gangren who played for Valencia. But when I compared them with Xiao Chu, they seemed too rough.]
-
[Chu Feng's continuous breakthroughs at the front of the penalty area did not advance five meters in total, but he passed two defensive players. It really shows what coolness means! ]
-
[Is Xiao Ri's life going to be completely defeated? 】
-
[Mori Yasuichi said that since we already have tickets for the Olympics, there is no need to go all out. We are here just to train.]
-
[Then we have to work harder and try to compete with them! ]

【.】

The schedule of the Asian Cup U23 is very tight, with a group match every three days, leaving almost no extra time for training and adjustment.

The Chinese team has not conducted high-intensity training in the past few days, but has been conducting tactical drills around Chu Feng, trying to make everyone more coordinated.

Time flies and it is January 1th.

Thammasat University Stadium.

This is the home ground of Bangkok United, located in Pathum Thani, just outside Bangkok.

There were already 25,000 fans at the venue.

The camera turned to the LED scoreboard beside the court, which showed a score of 2:1, with the Chinese U23 team temporarily taking the lead.

"Although the Chinese team's defense made a mistake at the beginning of the game and Syrian striker Bakarat seized the opportunity to score a goal, the boys of the Olympic team did not get anxious, but continued to implement the established tactics."

"In the 23rd minute of the first half, Duan Liuyu received the ball in the middle and passed it directly to Chu Feng at the front of the penalty area. Chu Feng turned around and kicked a powerful shot despite the defensive players. The Syrian goalkeeper Ghanem touched the ball, but the ball still flew into the goal!" "Then, the players of the National Olympic Team played more and more confidently. In the 41st minute of the first half, Chen Binbin broke through the wing and made a cross. Chu Feng, despite the interference of two defensive players, jumped high and smashed the ball into the goal, helping the Chinese team to reverse the score!"

"In the world of football, accidents and surprises will happen, but we have to learn to adjust our mentality. The National Olympic team did a good job in this regard. Of course, Chu Feng, as the captain, gave his teammates enough encouragement."

"Okay, the second half of the game has begun, and the Chinese team continues to attack!"

He Wei took advantage of the half-time break to express his feelings.

The camera returns to the Thammasat University Stadium

As China defeated Syria in the Asian Cup qualifiers, the Syrian U23 players are eager to defeat the Chinese U23 to prove themselves.

But they soon gave up the idea, because Chu Feng, whom they tried their best to restrict, retreated to the hinterland to receive the pass, and then he made the simplest change of direction by lowering his shoulders, passed the defender, pretended to shoot, but actually sent a straight pass.

The football was like a scalpel that cut through the Syrian defense and was caught by Hu Jinghang who was making a forward run.

Facing the goalkeeper, he did not shoot, but passed the ball to Chen Binbin.

"Shoot into the empty goal!"

"3:1!!!"

"The Chinese team scored another goal. Syria assigned too many players to defend Chu Feng, and even the back line was moved forward, resulting in a larger space behind the defense line, which was penetrated by Chu Feng's pass!"

"A beautiful goal! Through this goal we can also see that the Chinese team's tactics are not rigid, but will change according to the situation, and the one who leads this change is Chu Feng."

"His ability to read the game, which is praised by world-class coaches Mourinho and Guardiola, allows him to command the team's offense with ease!"

"."

Syria is already a fourth-tier team. Without Chu Feng, its overall strength is not as good as that of the Chinese team, let alone now that Chu Feng has joined.

In the 74th minute of the game, Fu Bo replaced Chu Feng with Zhang Yuning, but did not give up the attack and switch to defense.

Because Syrian players have strong heading ability, and mindless defense will only lead to high-altitude bombing, it is better to use offense to curb the opponent's offensive.

As soon as Chu Feng returned to the bench, he saw a water cup, a banana, and a towel in front of him.
Today's coaching team has become a nanny team.

no way.

They had never fought such a prosperous war before, and they were under great pressure for Chu Feng to participate in the U23 Asian Cup.

What pressure?
If Chu Feng gets hurt or suffers an illness, they will become sinners of Chinese football and will be spurned by the majority of fans.

Chu Feng was not polite either.

After all, his treatment at Manchester United is much better than that in the National Olympic Team.

The Chinese team won a corner kick at the end of regular time. Zhang Yuning headed the ball in the penalty area, but the Syrian goalkeeper blocked it with both hands. However, Zhu Chenjie made a timely shot and scored.

最终，中国U23 4:1叙利亚U23，积6分排名小组第一。

In another group match that ended at the same time, Japan and Qatar drew 1:1. Japan currently has the same point as Qatar, but ranks fourth due to a smaller goal difference.

Then the problem is coming.

What conditions are needed for the Japanese team to qualify?
The answer is that they must defeat the Chinese team, and Syria must lose to Qatar, and there are strict requirements on the number of goals Qatar must score.

In response to reporters' questions, Moriyasu said: "We will do our best to prepare and give 100% of our ability in the game to fight for the last glimmer of hope of qualifying."

Although Japanese fans are still not buying it and are frantically criticizing the team for being "incompetent" and having "shortcomings of the entire team", they still can't help but have some expectations.

If Moriyasu Kazuo can lead the Japanese team to defeat the Chinese team with Chu Feng, then he is a capable coach.

When answering reporters' questions, Fu Bo said that the Chinese team had already qualified and Chu Feng would not be allowed to play frequently to avoid injuries due to fatigue.

In fact, he thought a lot.

Apart from the fact that Chu Feng has an injury immunity module, he has not used his full strength in the last two games. At least compared with the match against Manchester City, he is in a completely different state.

Taking advantage of the rest time on the second day, Chu Feng talked to Fu Bo for a while. He still wanted to play in this game, and his purpose was of course to make the most of his life.

After all, after the Asian qualifiers for the top 40 are over, according to the draw rules, the Chinese team will inevitably meet Japan or South Korea. It would be better to strike a blow against their young troops in advance to warm up for the next game.

Now that Chu Feng has spoken, what else can Fu Bo say?

He just repeatedly reminded me to tell him if I felt unwell and not to force myself.

2020 1 Month 15 Day.

Buriram Stadium, the best professional stadium in Thailand, was built based on the model of Stamford Bridge.

Chu Feng felt a sense of familiarity as soon as he came in. He thought he was playing in the Premier League against Chelsea and almost awakened his muscle memory of beating up Chelsea.

Immediately.

He looked at his teammates and said in a deep voice: "Although we have already qualified, we still have to go all out today. As for the reason, I don't need to explain it in detail. Everyone should know that there is no precedent of holding back when facing the Japanese team in international competitions!"

The members of the National Olympic Team nodded vigorously, with seriousness and solemnity written all over their faces.

Damn it, standing on this green field, since I have encountered a bad day, I must fight hard.

Qatar and Syria drew one and won one against Japan, so they will win more thoroughly.

Not to mention that Japan sent out an incomplete lineup, it's not like they pointed a gun at Moriyasu Kazuo and asked him not to recall the Japanese players studying abroad.

"Come on! Fans from all over the country are watching us now, let's show them a great performance!"

Chu Feng said one last sentence and pushed open the door of the locker room.

moment.

All the Japanese players in the player tunnel turned to look at Chu Feng, unable to conceal the heat in their eyes.

As we all know, there is no tactics in Moriyasu Hajime's little notebook, it is just chicken soup.

He instilled in the Japanese players the ideas of patriotism, historical honor, and a bright future, making this group of people extremely excited.

Ballon d'Or winner?
We have to fight to know who is stronger!
Soon, the Japanese national anthem resounded throughout the Buriram Stadium.

"Kimi ga Yo" is adapted from Japanese court music.

This kind of elegant music originated from the Tang Dynasty in China and has similarities in melody with China's funeral music.

The Chinese fans in the stands felt extremely regretful. If they had known earlier, they would have brought their suona and played funeral music to bid farewell to the old man.

Then, the Chinese national anthem sounded.

Amid the passionate cheers of tens of thousands of fans, the inspiring melody diluted the sadness of the Buriram Stadium!
