Football’s First Defender

After a slightly difficult victory over Crystal Palace at home, the Liverpool players, who were already suffering from physical problems caused by a week of double matches, will also usher in the international match day. Most of the Liverpool players will return to their respective national teams. From all over the world, the World Cup qualifiers are being played.

On this national team match day, Yang Feng discussed with the management of the Football Association during the previous national team match day gathering. When making the plan, he had taken into account that the multi-line battles of the club games would cause fatigue, so this On a national team match day, after reporting to the country early, Yang Feng did not go back to "abuse food".

At the level of the Football Association and the national team, there is no opinion on Yang Feng's non-return this time.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, playing against Bhutan and Hong Kong, China, these two games are pure abuse.

Playing against Japanese, Korean and West Asian teams, the Chinese team may have all kinds of problems. Playing against such a low-level team is not easy.

For the leadership, it is the same as the perception of many fans, that is, the last home draw by Hong Kong, China, was just an accident. The reason why accidents are accidents is that they cannot be continuously created.

But in fact, when discussing the opponents of the national team match day this time, Yang Feng knew that these two games were not all "bad food". Bhutan seems to have no problems in memory. It is true that they will be abused by the national football team.

But the second opponent, in the away game against Hong Kong, China, Yang Feng knew how hard the national football team would play in history. Things are confusing.

In fact, Yang Feng consciously talked about this opponent with many teammates of the national team during the last match day of the national team. He also reminded several teammates to pay attention to the opponent of Hong Kong. , to ensure the initiative of the group first.

I just don't know, under the relaxed atmosphere of the national team, whether someone can show a game performance that is different from the history, and can change the history without Yang Feng participating.

In the first game, China played against Bhutan at home. Yang Feng, who has forgotten what kind of history it is, watched the live broadcast of the game with peace of mind, and confirmed early on that there was no problem in the game.

Bhutan's opponents at this level, even against the national football team, are really powerless.

12 to 0, Yang Feng watched the national team teammates crazily abusing food, brushing up his scoring statistics in the national team.

When it was 3-0, Yang Feng had already turned off the live broadcast and went to practice by himself. After all, it was a pure abuse game, so it didn't make much sense.

And the second game, the away game against Hong Kong, China, is the top priority of this national team match day.

In the previous home game, the national football team was "accidentally" tied 0-0 by Hong Kong. Even though it was an away game, it was a battle of proof that the national football team could not lose.

After all, in the match between the national team and the city team, it is really unreasonable to fail to win two consecutive games.

But the trajectory of history is so the same. Without Yang Feng, a historical spoiler, the national football players alone can't change history.

Even though Yang Feng had already consciously reminded his teammates to be careful of Hong Kong's defense before the game, he also suggested to the coach to try to choose some tactics of crossing from the side.

It's just that everyone is optimistic, but in the end they can only be incompetent and furious during the game.

Another 0-0, "The Chinese team don't even want face now!"

In the two qualifiers for the top 40 in Asia, the national football team organized by the whole country nominally represents the best football-playing group of the mainland's 1.3 billion population, but they couldn't even win their own country's city team. Ping, it can be said, also made many fans who were delighted by the victory over Qatar and Bhutan by a big score before fall into hesitation again.

"Sure enough, without Yang Feng, this group of people is nothing."

"The game was too sloppy. I didn't seize the time to attack in the early stage. In the last period, I was defended by others and my momentum was up. It was too late to attack wildly. I beat the Hong Kong team for two consecutive draws. This is not to underestimate the enemy. ,ridiculous!"

"It was not easy to defeat Qatar, the strongest opponent in the group. It turned out to be a good thing. The Hong Kong team lost 4 points in 2 consecutive games. The "National Pigs" should really disband immediately."

After the game, the Chinese national team was once again on the cusp.

The strength level of these players has also been further questioned.

You say that Japan and South Korea are strong and can’t win. That’s understandable. The West Asian team has good physical fitness and can’t press. That’s okay. But if you play Hong Kong, China, which has no characteristics at all, you can’t win. It is still two games, and it will naturally be angered by the fans.

The results of foreign wars and the record of the national team in recent years are not very good. Not only can they not beat the strong teams in the first echelon of Asia, but they are obviously suppressed when facing the teams in the second echelon of Asia. the point.

But now, even Hong Kong, China, a third-rate team in Asia, can't win. At this time, to apply Mr. Fan's phrase "Chinese football doesn't even want face", it is especially appropriate.

This draw against Hong Kong caused the domestic media to change their previous appreciation attitude after the national football team defeated Qatar. In order to cater to the anger of the fans, many media began to report the poor performance of the national football team in recent years in various age groups. Put forward "fried cold rice" again.

Constantly criticizing the national football system and some ills of domestic players.

Although what was said was true, there were even some media criticizing Yang Feng for his unpatriotic performance. It was because he did not come back that the national football team was not in the best state of strength and did not win the game.

However, after Yang Feng read some comments, he just laughed it off. The media is a thing, just look at it. If you expect them to do the right thing, then don't they want to be just right?

If you believe in the media, then you will really lose your mind...

In this way, the national football team ended the national team match day this time under the situation of verbal criticism.

For Yang Feng, it was also very helpless. Originally, if the other games did not come out, the national football team had won the away game against Qatar for the first time before. They only needed to draw with Qatar at home, and they could easily guarantee the first place in the group. Qualified, without having to do math problems.

But from the current point of view, unless Qatar also makes a major mistake in the next game against the three underdogs in the group stage, the Chinese team must beat Qatar at home if they want to qualify first in the group.

Of course, national team games usually drag on for a long time, and the time span of the game is huge. The next time for the national team qualifiers will be in March next year. During this period, Yang Feng does not need to fly back to China to participate in some friendly matches, and can concentrate on the league. race.

So even though I feel tired about the results of the national team match day this time, the next key match will have to wait until next year. For Yang Feng, he doesn't have to worry about those bad things during this period.
