Golden Greenery

Chapter 663 The kangaroos come with bad intentions

Displaying the trophy before the game was very grand, and his brief words aroused a wave of fanaticism, but after the game started, Zhuo Yang could only be a dead substitute.

Rijkaard regretted that he was too impulsive when he took over the Chinese national team coach. He even doubted that he was not destined to be the head coach. Maybe his bad luck affected Zhuoyang, and Zhuoyang was the unthinkable disaster. Otherwise, it is completely unexplainable why Zhuoyang was fine before he became the head coach of the Chinese team, but he suffered from a "sudden muscle spasm" not long after he took over.

Zhuoyang did not hide it from Jieshuai. AC Milan club had already informed him of the specific situation. Jieshuai even took the time to go to Milanello. Milan asked Jie Shuai to use Zhuoyang with caution, and suggested that he only play half-time. Rijkaard is an insider and knows the power of it. Of course, he will not use Zhuoyang in a harmful way for the sake of his own handsomeness.

Zhuo Yang's football future is in doubt. No one knows whether he will deteriorate in the future or whether he will miraculously recover. Even if he maintains his current symptoms, he will no longer be the Zhuo Yang he was before. It is impossible to have a The World Footballer who can only play half a game.

Rijkaard came to China because of Zhuo Yang, otherwise he would not have any interest in football here. The Chinese team with Zhuoyang and without Zhuoyang are completely different. A healthy Zhuoyang is completely different from a Zhuoyang who can only play half of the game. In this situation, holding Jie Shuai on the beam of the house made him feel so cold.

To be honest, Jieshuai is a little absent-minded now. If the Chinese team does not have Zhuoyang, this job will become a shackles for him and there will be no fun at all. Zhuoyang's strange illness shook Jieshuai's determination to compete in Asian football, and he retreated.

Everything will wait until the end of this game when Zhuo Yang goes to the United States for a checkup and the results are clear. If the results are disappointing, Rijkaard will give up his job even if he suffers infamy and will never be a head coach again. The two previous resignations from the Dutch national team and Barcelona were all because Rijkaard did not want to wrong himself.

Zhuoyang's strange illness is now only known to the AC Milan senior management, Jieshuai, Raiola, and himself. Neither the Chinese Football Association nor Zhuoyang's family has told them yet. There is no use telling the Football Association. It will only add trouble and discussion. Just inform them when the results are available. As for the family, Zhuo Yang didn't want his parents and sisters to worry, so he kept it a secret for now.

Among his own coaching staff, Jieshuai only secretly told the chief assistant coach Tenkat, and no one else knew about it. Only the attentive Sforza saw some clues and saw Jieshuai's abnormal low-spiritedness, but he was not a talkative person and did not reveal the doubts in his heart.

AC Milan explained that Zhuoyang only played half-time during this period because of "physical fatigue caused by continuous battles." Rijkaard could only give the same explanation, otherwise in such an important top ten game, he How dare you not let Zhuo Yang start.

The day after tomorrow will be 2. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the Chinese team’s opponent in the top ten Asian games is Australia, its old rival in the top 20 group stage.

The ten teams in the Asian top ten are divided into two groups. Each group has ten rounds of home and away games, and one team has a bye in each round. In Group A, China, Australia, Japan, and Uzbekistan, before the game, Chinese and foreign media agreed that China, Japan, and Australia would be the top three teams. These three teams are competing for the top three spots. Bahrain and Uzbekistan are the spoilers. The media can tie China with Japan and Australia only because the Chinese team has Zhuoyang, otherwise it will become a crowd in Group A.

In the first three rounds of Group A, the top three of China, Japan and Australia each had a bye and only played two games. The Japanese team currently has two wins and ranks first. The Chinese team has one win and one draw and is currently following with Bahrain, who has played three games, with 4 points. Afterwards, Australia, which lost to Japan in the last round away game, accumulated 3 points, and Uzbekistan sadly lost all three games.

It was understandable that Australia lost to Japan in Yokohama in the last round. Many of their generals, including Kewell, Bresciano, Guerrera and Valeri, were absent due to injuries, while Japan's five European players were fully loaded. . But even so, Australia still occupies a certain advantage on the scene.

The Japanese team was only in the 8th place in the game when full-back Makoto Hasebe of Wolfsburg, who was ranked eighth in the game, fired a shot from 5 meters away from the goal. The football hit the leg of teammate Keiji Tamada and refracted into the net. Fortunately, he defeated his opponent.

The Australian team that came to Xi'an today not only had all four of the above-mentioned generals return from injury, but Cahill, who had been sidelined for half a year due to injury, also made a timely comeback. Compared with the top 20 match in Sydney last September, Australia Ten people have changed in the starting lineup, but only Kewell's appearance remains the same.

In that game, Australia was just going through the motions without any desire, but today it was a battle of brave men who met each other on a narrow road and could step on each one one by one. The kangaroo army is coming with bad intentions.

Australian head coach and Dutchman Pim Welbeck is 53 years old this year. He is Rijkaard's predecessor both as a player and as a coach. However, he used to be only a very famous assistant coach in the Dutch football world, and his starting point was not as high as Jieshuai. Welbeck has assisted Hiddink and Advocaat, and has long served as the chief assistant coach in the coaching staff of the Korean national team. He is very familiar with Asian football. After Advocaat stepped down, Welbeck finally moved from behind the scenes to the front desk and took over as Australia's point coach.

Welbeck almost stubbornly customized a 4-2-3-1 defensive counterattack style for Australia. Don't think that because he is a Dutch coach, he will forget about offense. However, Jie Shuai always regards offense as his belief.

Of course, Jieshuai is not that frivolous. His vision is much broader than Welbeck. It is a last resort for the Chinese team to adopt an active offensive posture of stationing troops in the midfield, because with the current defensive level and ability of Chinese football, it is definitely impossible to defend. living. Facing the Asian powers, Shou may be able to secure one or two decent victories, but he will definitely not be able to secure a World Cup qualification spot.

Welbeck pays great attention to details. He has a thorough understanding of the Chinese team before the game. In his opinion, although the strength of the Chinese team without Zhuo Yang in the starting lineup has dropped a lot, it is by no means a friendly one, especially in At home, the strength of the Chinese team cannot be ignored.

Because Jieshuai was disturbed by Zhuoyang's problem, he did not do his homework well before the game. He underestimated Australia's resolute defensive counterattack style in Xi'an. As a result, the first half fell completely into Australia's rhythm.

The game had reached the 30th minute, and Rijkaard stood on the sidelines tightly wrapped in an Armani coat, yelling something towards the court from time to time. He yelled once, and the translator next to him imitated his movements and tone and yelled again, which looked quite funny. But no one in the crowd of 60,000 fans thought it was funny. They were anxiously chanting Zhuoyang's name.

Zhuo Yang was nestled on the bench, frowning. Suddenly, without consulting anyone, he took off his team coat, walked out of the bench and started to warm up. At this time, the huge LCD screen in the St. Zhuque South Stand showed the score - China 0:2 Australia.
