Chapter 1001 The group stage is full of stupid ideas

"You're really bold in your use of young people," Maldini said.

"We have won two games in a row, what are we afraid of?" Zhuo Yang said: "Qualifying early will eliminate the need for young people to liven things up. Are we bringing them here just to show off on the bench?"

Maldini arrived in Al Ain on the day of the match between the Chinese team and Kyrgyzstan. After arriving, he did not disturb Zhuoyang. He just sent a text message and made an appointment to visit the next day after the game.

The dust of the Group C match has settled. The Chinese team, which has won three consecutive victories, won the first place in the group. There is no need to move. The 1/8th match of C1 will still be held in Al Ain, but it will just change the stadium.

In the same match, Saudi Arabia defeated the Philippines 2:0 with goals from Al-Mowalad and veteran midfielder Almogarwi, finishing second in the group and advancing to the top 16 as scheduled.

The ambitious Philippines lost all three games and finished last, conceding 12 goals and scoring 1 goal. This ended the famous coach Eriksson's employment in Asia.

Kyrgyzstan, with one win and two losses and 3 points, finished third in the group, and their junior third place is quite magical.

Originally, they scored 5 goals from 3 points and conceded 8 goals, with a net win of -3, which was a bit sad. Unexpectedly, the group stage ended two days later, and all the junior players were not very energetic this time.

Bahrain is relatively the strongest in Group A, accumulating 4 points and taking the lead among the six junior teams. Palestine had two draws and one loss, with a total of 2 points and six small threes.

The remaining four third places, Kyrgyzstan, Vietnam, Lebanon, and Oman, all have 3 points. The three "better third places in the group" must be determined in the order of "goal difference - number of goals - fair play".

As a result, Oman was the first to laugh with a net win of 0, and Vietnam also laughed with a net win of -1. Sadly, Lebanon also had a net win of -3, but only scored 4 goals, which was exactly one less than Kyrgyzstan.

Not to mention the game process, who would have thought that Kyrgyzstan could lose only one goal and score two goals against the extremely powerful Chinese team.

Kyrgyzstan finished first in the group stage, and the Chinese team's strategy of practicing Chun Lei in the last round did not screw up the Chinese team itself, but poor Lebanon.

Four of the six seeded teams ranked first in the group. South Korea and Australia were knocked down to second place. It was Qatar and Jordan who stole their limelight.

Of the three teams that qualified with all wins - China, Japan and Qatar, the Chinese team scored the most goals but was not the most impressive. Qatar scored 10 goals without conceding a single one, including a 2-0 victory over South Korea.

Zhuoyang, who only scored 3 goals, failed to rank first in Group C. Exon also scored 3 goals, and Kyrgyzstan Lux scored 4 goals.

23-year-old Moez Ali, a naturalized Qatari forward from Sudan, scored 7 of Qatar's 10 goals in the group stage, leaving Zhuo Yang and others behind.

In contrast to Qatar, Yemen, which once tore apart the Chinese team, lost 10 goals and failed to score a single goal in all three games. But they are not the worst. North Korea has lost 14 points and only scored one goal in three games, ranking last among all 24 teams.

Comrades in Caoxian County, what's wrong with you?

Syria is also miserable. This team that has emerged from the war finished last in Group B with one draw and two losses. It became the only team that participated in the Asian top 12 of the World Cup preliminaries and failed to reach the top 16 of the Asian Cup. Team.

At the end of the Asian Cup group stage, five head coaches have been dismissed, Eriksson said. The amazing British coach Stephen Constantine, who led India to the Asian Cup for the first time and won its first victory over Thailand 4:1 in the Asian Cup, announced his resignation after losing to Bahrain 0:1 in the final round and being eliminated. .

Constantine is quite legendary. In one trial, the opponent was the Chelsea youth team. In the game, he scored three goals as a midfielder, but he was still rejected later.

Two years later, he went to Millwall for a trial training as a goalkeeper, but failed again, so he had to go to Cyprus to look for opportunities. His father is an immigrant from Cyprus.

The most glorious moment of his career, Constantine was called up by the Cyprus U23 national youth team, but he did not answer. 2 injured the cruciate ligament in his right knee and retired.

Because of his true love for football, Constantine became a coach, but his initial experience was almost the same as when he was playing football.

According to Constantine himself, he submitted his resume to all professional clubs in England, but more than 200 of them ignored him at all, and Constantine has kept more than 100 other rejection letters.

Constantine's dream is to coach in the Premier League, so while he earns a monthly salary of 250 pounds in the fourth tier of Cyprus, he makes his dream come true on "Football Manager".

It was easy to get the certificate in the early years, but Constantine obtained the FIFA lecturer qualification through some unknown means, and finally started his days as a "football Marco Polo".

With his reputation as an international lecturer, starting in Nepal, Constantine has coached many national teams over the past two decades, including Nepal, Sudan, Malawi, Rwanda, and twice coached India.

His best job is to improve the teams ranked around 200 in FIFA to less than 100. Just looking at the range, he is a golden finger player.

Every time he succeeds in poverty alleviation, Constantine will return to England with this qualification and confidence to pursue his dream of coaching the Premier League. However, he coached Brighton and Millwall in the English League twice and was fired quickly due to poor results. He was fired faster than he was eaten. The total of the two times was less than ten games.

The biggest advantage of Stephen Constantine's coaching is that he does not care about money. He only gets an annual salary of 200,000 euros in India. I don’t know if he will return to England after class this time. He is still a teenager at the age of 54 with his dream alive.

Three coaches resigned before the group stage ended, and their successors were in different situations.

Thailand lost miserably to India 1:4 in the first round, and head coach Miloan Rajvac was fired. Interim coach Sirisha Jojatai, who had worked as a cook, then led the team to a 1:0 victory over Bahrain and won 1-1 in the final round. :1 tied with the host United Arab Emirates, ranking second in the group with 4 points and heading into the biggest dark horse of 1.

After losing to China 0:3, Gaishyan temporarily replaced Juan Pizzi. The 2:0 victory over the Philippines in the last round didn't mean much.

Another interim coach, Syria's Fail Ibrahim, led the team and failed to create a miracle. In the last round, they lost to Australia 2:3 and were last. After the game, the team disbanded on the spot, and Ibrahim also ended his mission. I heard that the Syrian Football Association did not even buy air tickets for the players and coaches to return home.

This was the case for the 24 participating teams. The group stage was vigorous and bloody, but only 8 teams were eliminated.

.

"You kids are all very skilled and your approach is right," the horse team said.

"Selected from millions of children, they are all just like Zhang Xian. Their skills cannot be less than solid." Zhang Xian is now known as the 'Oriental Rivera' at the Milan Youth Training Camp in Vismara.

Gianni Rivera was the legendary Milan midfielder in the 1960s and 1970s. In the selection officially organized by Milan two years ago, he beat Kaká, Rijkaard, Pirlo, Gullit and Albertini. , Boban and others, were named 'the best midfielder in AC Milan history'.

Due to non-EU quota restrictions in the first team, 18-year-old Zhang Xian can only participate in the Milan U21 Youth League and the Italian Cup this season. He will definitely be promoted to the first team next season.

While eating and chatting, Zhuoyang added red wine to Maldini's glass, and the horseman gently held the cup holder with his hand to express his gratitude.

Zhuo Yang was a little surprised. The horse team had never been so close to him before, and he was never particular about pouring wine. Apparently, the Cavaliers came here not just to watch football or the Chinese Youth Army, but because they had something to do.
