Chapter 1115 An indispensable figure in the Chinese team

"Xia Xiaoyu's forward penetration was really beautiful and timely! It was his forward penetration that broke the balance on the field and created a murderous opportunity for the Chinese team!" Yan Kang analyzed the Chinese team's goal just now for the audience.

In his opinion, Xia Xiaoyu's sudden forward movement after passing the ball is the key to this offense.

In the TV broadcast, taking advantage of the opportunity of a football going out of bounds, the Chinese team's goal just now was being replayed.

This time it was not the last shot, but the play started from Xia Xiaoyu passing the football to Wang Guangwei and then moving forward. It was almost the entire process of the goal.

"Xia Xiaoyu's sudden advance caught the South African team by surprise, so when he shot from the front of the penalty area, there was no South African defensive player around him. Of course, his last shot was also of high quality! In fact, before the Chinese team During training, a reporter observed the part where Xia Xiaoyu was arranged to go forward... So I think this is not Xia Xiaoyu's own decision, but more of a special arrangement from the head coach..."

Yan Kang is worthy of being a former international player. Just from this scoring process and some details in training, he can guess the arrangement of head coach Dillon.

"Although this game only started for six minutes, we can get a glimpse of Dillon's tactics from these minutes. Obviously, Dillon's Chinese team is different from the Chinese team during the Shi Wuyin and Dong Jianhai periods. Dillon's Chinese team emphasizes control more. , especially in the midfield and frontcourt...the overall speed is not as fast as before, but the players will control the football more and pass the ball in the frontcourt to look for opportunities. In addition, the two wings are wide apart. In order to create space in the middle, this ball is like this..."

Following Yan Kang's analysis, the TV broadcast showed a scene from the Chinese team's coaching bench just after Xia Xiaoyu scored.

Jorge Dillon and his coaching staff high-fived one by one, looking very happy.

Yan Kang could see some tactical clues, while Dillon could see more.

This goal almost perfectly reflected his requirements for the team - widening the wings, pressing in the middle, pushing the opponent's defense in, creating space for Xia Xiaoyu to penetrate from behind. There is also Zhou Zijing's fulcrum role in the frontcourt, and Hu Lai's movement to pull away the opponent's defender...

So Dillon seemed so happy, not because the Chinese team took the lead at the beginning, but because this ball fully reflected the results of training.

In places not captured by the camera, team leader Hong Renjie was also very happy.

He paid close attention to the team's training and knew exactly what Dillon wanted to transform the national team into.

Before, he was worried that too much intensity in training would cause the team to perform poorly in games.

Although the Football Association has said that it will not set a target, it is the "China Cup" after all. As the host, if the Chinese team finishes last, it will not be justified in public opinion...

This will also be a blow to the emerging "China Cup".

So Hong Renjie still hopes that the Chinese team can achieve good results in the China Cup - not to mention winning the championship, but also reaching the finals, right?

Now that he saw the Chinese team taking the lead in the first six minutes, his heart dropped a little.

Finally a good start...

※※※

After Xia Xiaoyu opened the scoring for the Chinese team, the burden on all the Chinese team players seemed to disappear, making them feel suddenly relieved.

The most important thing is that they saw from this goal that coach Dillon's approach is effective.

So in the following games, the Chinese team became more confident as they played.

They kept running on the field, passing the ball back and forth, tearing apart the South African team's defense, making them lose sight of one thing.

Although the Chinese team has just started training, after being exposed to Dillon's tactical concepts, the results are not very good, and sometimes problems can be seen.

But in the face of the general trend, South Africa did not seize the opportunity to counterattack.

Amid the deafening shouts at the Provincial Sports Center, the Chinese team launched waves of attacks towards the South African goal.

Zhou Zijing is active here.

It's rare that he can start in the Chinese team's game. He seems to want to release all the power he has accumulated in his body.

Although Dillon hopes that he will not continue to gain weight, it has to be said that Zhou Zijing is indeed the physical ceiling of domestic centers.

He was also able to keep up with the South African players in physical confrontations.

At the same time, he also has certain skills with his feet and is not a stupid big guy who can only use his body to kick the ball.

With him in the frontcourt, the Chinese team's offense advanced particularly smoothly.

In the 33rd minute, after Chen Xingyi received Zhang Qinghuan's pass from the wing, he pretended to cut in, took a feint shot, widened the angle, and immediately made a pass.

The football made an arc and flew straight to the center.

Zhou Zijing jumped up on the spot and hit the football before the opponent's central defender Sanele Visul!

Although Visul bumped into him and interfered with his header to a certain extent.

But Zhou Zijing's header from the penalty area still flew into the goal!

South African goalkeeper Seri Sangre made a save this time. He rose into the air but failed to touch the ball...

"Zhou Zijing!! Beautiful——!! The Chinese team is leading by two goals! Zhou Zijing's header is very beautiful!!"

Amidst the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, Zhou Zijing excitedly leaped over the billboard behind the goal after scoring the goal, rushed to the runway area behind, and waved his fist to celebrate the Chinese team fans in the stands.

This is not his first goal for the national team, but it is a goal of great significance to him.

Head coach Dillon told him that he would be an important member of the Chinese team.

So the goal at this time seems to be his response to the trust of the head coach - I will prove that I am worthy of your trust and attention!

I, Zhou Zijing!

Will become an indispensable figure for the Chinese team!

※※※

Zhou Shenghai waved his fist vigorously in the stands, echoing his son.

The new coach scored a goal in his first game after taking office.

Is his son's international career finally on the fast track? !

The famous marshal deserves to be a famous marshal. Sure enough, only a famous marshal understands the benefits of my son!

"Congratulations, Jorge. The two people you value have performed well in this game!" Translator Yu Jintao said to head coach Jorge Dillon when celebrating the goal.

Dillon laughed loudly: "They are all excellent young people! But the most important thing is that through these two goals, it proves that this Chinese team still has great potential that can be tapped. We have to make the best use of everyone! What's next? There’s still a lot of work to do!”

"Oh! Even Zhou Zijing scored a goal, why doesn't our son score a goal?"

Xie Lan just cheered for the Chinese team's two-goal lead when Zhou Zijing scored at the beginning. Then he quickly calmed down and focused on the goal scorer.

When the live broadcast shouted the name of the goal scorer Zhou Zijing, she just shouted along symbolically, which was very perfunctory.

"Tsk, when people see you like this, they think you have some dissatisfaction with Zhou Zijing..." Hu Lixin reminded her.

"Just think about it, I'm not Zhou Zijing's mother, why should I care so much!" Xie Lan said very straightforwardly. "Now the juniors have all scored goals. If our son doesn't score, it might really make people think that the national team is going to change! There's a new coach, new tactics, and even a new center forward, tsk tsk! ”

Hu Lixin rolled his eyes fiercely, unable to explain to this woman...

Xie Lan was too lazy to pay attention to her husband and whispered: "Come on, son!"

Hu Lixin returned to his young players, but he also heard them complaining: "Why didn't Hu Lai score?"

"That's right, Zhou Zijing stole the limelight!"

"Damn it, did the head coach ask Hu Lai to play support?"

Hu Lixin frowned when he heard these discussions.

He can't get along with his wife, but he must have a good time with these children.

"Don't understand football matches so simply!"

He said in a very serious voice to the few lucky people who could come to watch the game.

"As a forward, Hulay has a strong scoring ability. But this does not mean that he only needs to score goals in the game. As long as his presence can help the team, then his performance is very good. What do you think? Hu Lai hasn’t scored a goal so far, so he’s not great? But on the contrary, I think being able to help the whole team in the offense shows that he is even better than before!”

The young players did not dare to take a breath in front of the serious Hu Lixin.

"You must always remember that football is a team sport, not a game of individual limelight! If you have the ability to help your teammates improve their performance, then you have to do it! If you help your teammates, your teammates will in turn help you! Only In this way, you can really enjoy football instead of crying and complaining that you were held back by ten idiots!”

Some of the young players lowered their heads, and others quickly said: "Coach, we have realized our mistake!"

"Okay, continue watching the ball!" Hu Lixin nodded and said no more.

※※※

Although Hu Lai has not scored yet, it cannot be said that his performance is not good.

In fact, Xia Xiaoyu and Zhou Zijing's goals were all attributed to him.

Xia Xiaoyu's ball and Hu Lai's sudden advance not only took away a central defender, further opening up space at the front of the penalty area, but also attracted the attention of others. Xia Xiaoyu's shooting ability caught the South African team by surprise.

Before Zhou Zijing headed the ball, Hu Lai actively ran to the back point and took away a South African defender, which greatly reduced the defensive pressure faced by Zhou Zijing.

As the number one star of the Chinese team, Hu Lai will naturally become the focus of everyone's attention as long as he is on the court. So in fact, even if he can't even touch the ball, he can still play a vital role in the Chinese team's offense.

Therefore, no one would think that since both Zhou Zijing and Xia Xiaoyu scored, the Chinese team does not need Hu Lai in attack.

On the contrary, Hu Lai is very important to the Chinese team at any time.

Dillon did not talk to Hu Lai alone before the training camp, and it was not because he thought Hu Lai was unimportant. It's just that he has nothing to explain to Hu Lai. He has always done a good job in what he is supposed to do. What else does he need to explain?

Hu Lai is a player who can make Dillon feel at ease. Although he is young, in terms of court experience, he can be regarded as the "big brother" in China.

He knows what to do. (End of chapter)
