Champion’s Heart

Before going to the Asian Cup, Zhou Yi and Kagawa Shinji will join forces to play another league for Dortmund.

In the seventeenth round of the league, Dortmund challenged Frankfurt away.

But maybe it is because the half-time champion has been won in advance, or it is because this is the last game before the winter break. Everyone’s mind is not on football, but in the dream of the holiday.

So in this game, Dortmund lost to Frankfurt 0:1 away.

Ended their record of winning the away game in the new season.

After the game, Klopp did not criticize his players. Although he was disappointed to lose the game, he also knew that the players had performed well enough for this half-time championship in this half season, and there was no way to demand them. too much. At this time, the most important thing is to take a good rest during the holidays, and they are busy in the second half of the season.

Anyway, in the last round of the league, Mainz lost to Schalke 0:1 at home, and now the gap between the two sides is as much as 13 points.

However, later in Dortmund's game, Mainz's game also ended. They beat St. Pauli 4:2 away and reduced the point gap to 10 points.

Failure to maintain a 13-point lead and ending the first half of the season is a pity for Dortmund. But the very gap is scary enough.

Anyway, Dortmund players and coaches can have a good Christmas.

Zhou Yi and Kagawa Shinji did not have this blessing. The next day, they appeared together at Dusseldorf International Airport. They will be here separately, one to China and one to Japan.

At the airport, there are a large number of journalists from both countries.

After queuing through the security together, the two men waved goodbye to the telephoto lenses of the reporters, and then went to the boarding gates in two directions.

The next time they meet again, maybe they will be in the Asian Cup.

In fact, when the first half of the Bundesliga was not over, the training preparation for the Chinese national team had already begun.

After more than ten hours of the game when Dortmund lost 0:1 to Frankfurt, the Chinese team also ushered in a warm-up opponent-Estonia.

In the end, Gao Hongbo's team still beat the European team with a score of 3:0 in the absence of Zhou Yi.

Throughout 2010. For the Chinese team. It can be regarded as a glorious year, because the national team's performance in this year is very good.

Under the leadership of Gao Hongbo, this team achieved nine wins, four draws and three losses in sixteen national team games, with a winning percentage of 60%. This is definitely the best in the international competitions of previous national teams.

The highlight of the national team this year is naturally the 2010 East Asian semifinals. That is the East Asian Cup. The Chinese team first tied the Japanese national team in Japan, then beat the South Korean national team unexpectedly 3-0, and finally won the East Asian Cup.

The second highlight is the warm-up match before the World Cup. The Chinese team defeated the French national team, the World Cup champion in the world, 1-0.

However, these two highlight moments have nothing to do with Zhou Yi...

Although the national team performed well in 2010. But the Chinese still care more about the results of the official competition.

The next is the first Asian Cup of the Gao Jiajun, the team’s most important competition.

Especially this time the Chinese team has Zhou Yi. With Zhou Yi's outstanding performance in Dortmund, it is indeed easy to make people hope more for him. Then a team with such a player as the core. Should we also raise our goals in the Asian Cup?

Facing the expectations of fans and public opinion, Gao Hongbo behaved differently than everyone thought.

When he was interviewed. Throwing out the "Asian Third-rate Theory" and "Asian Cup Training" really shocked the media and Chinese fans.

It also pushed Gao Hongbo to the cusp.

For a time, media opinion and fans criticized him, and even some conspiracy theory that Gao Hongbo had made an excuse for the failure of the Asian Cup.

Facing these disputes. Gao Hongbo didn't want to say more, just said: "All I have to do as the head coach is to try my best to bring the team and work hard according to the preset goals. As for other things, I don't care, and I don't have time and energy to care. What is important for us is to do our part in a down-to-earth manner, and let others comment on it. Nothing can change the direction of progress."

Even Zhou Yi was affected by this argument. After arriving in Guangzhou, he was asked this question by reporters.

Zhou Yi is very...ordinary.

"A normal way of decompression." He waved his hands, unwilling to talk more.

He was not stupid, and it didn't make sense to know that this kind of argument was mixed in.

As to whether the Chinese team is third-rate in Asia, it should not be the focus of discussion, because this is conclusive-when the Asian Cup group stage draw was divided, the Chinese team was divided into the third-grade team , So what is not the third-rate in Asia?

He doesn't really care about what the team's strength positioning should be, it doesn't matter at all. Because that is just a statement, the outcome of the game does not depend on the strength of the team, but on the player's performance.

Third-rate teams can beat first-class teams as well, and first-class teams may lose to non-performing teams.

This is football, full of all kinds of surprises and surprises.

Zhou Yi and Hao Junmin are the only two returnees of the current national team. The others are all from the domestic league.

Although Sun Pan became famous in the German Cup of Offenbach kicker against Dortmund, he was quickly known, but Gao Hongbo did not choose to add him to the national team training list. After all, as a goalkeeper, Sun Pan It was too young, and the time since becoming famous in the first game was too hasty, and there was no way to transfer to the team for training. However, according to Gao Hongbo himself, he has indeed started to pay attention to this outstanding young goalkeeper.

And Gao Hongbo also has a consideration-Sun Pan has been the main goalkeeper of Offenbach’s kickers since he performed well in the German Cup, and he has always been able to perform. For him, the more important thing is that The club played steadily instead of returning to the national team as a substitute, and then feel the Asian Cup...

Moreover, just two days later, on December 20th, Beijing time, the Offenbach player will face Nuremberg in the quarterfinals of the German Cup.

This critical moment. There is no point in recalling Sun Pan to the national team. Purely chaotic.

In the past, many Chinese overseas players were fed up with the meaningless call of action by the national team-obviously an insignificant friendly game, they have to allow overseas players to fly thousands of kilometers to 10,000 kilometers to return to the country and then play After halftime, fly back to the club at the same distance.

This can only make players lose their position in the club. In the national team game, because of exhaustion, he could not play a better level.

Why did Magat not need Yang Chen at first, not because Yang Chen always had to return to China to participate. Are things delayed?

Therefore, it is not a very important game, Gao Hongbo is unwilling to trouble these young Chinese people who have just started in European football.

He knew that there was a young midfielder named Yang Muge in the Schalke 04 youth team. He also knew that there was a short central defender named Guo Nu in the Inter Milan youth team. Not to mention He Ying at the Lamasia Youth Training Camp, that is the main shooter of the national youth and the national youth. He is still a fellow, and he can't help but know this person.

These people are starting to pay attention.

He believes that they are the future of Chinese football.

Gao Hongbo is indeed very concerned about these small players, such as the Offenbach player and the German Cup game in Nuremberg. It was at 2:15 in the morning on the 20th of Beijing time. Gao Hongbo even got up and watched the live broadcast on the Internet...

To know. Zhou Yi didn't wake up to watch this game.

Offenbach's players used the same tactics as when they played Dortmund in the last game, shrinking across the board and then playing defensive counterattacks.

This game. Sun Pan's performance is still very good, giving full play to his height and arm length, the second reaction speed is fast, with the cooperation of teammates, zero opponents.

The Offenbach kicker relied on Sun Pan's performance and a sneak attack in the 78th minute, which was once again upset and eliminated the Bundesliga team Nuremberg!

Gao Hongbo believes that if Sun Pan can continue this state and play, and can go to a team participating in the European top league next season, then the main goalkeeper of the Chinese national team may be his sooner or later...

Sun Pan's outstanding performance in the German Cup naturally aroused heated discussion among domestic media and online fans. To a certain extent, he also reduced the pressure on the Chinese national team to be stared at.

There have been media calls for the Chinese Football Association to allow Sun Pan to enter the National Olympic Team to prepare for the Olympic Qualifiers that began in June this year.

And not only Sun Pan, if the other young foreign players perform well in their respective clubs, they should also be summoned.

Although they have 90, 91, 92 age groups, they are not the most suitable 89-year-old players for the London Olympics, but if their strength is really outstanding, it can be promoted. Because today's 89-year-old Olympic team is really nothing talented.

The only one who is a little famous is probably their goalkeeper Wang Dalei~www.wuxiaspot.com~ became famous very early. He was selected to the national team in 2006. He was also a talented goalkeeper who had been to Inter Milan for training in the past, but his career development Not very smooth. At the 2008 Olympics held at his doorstep, he was voted out of the National Olympics list. His injuries and personality influenced him. His condition also fluctuated.

If Sun Pan can really be promoted to the Olympic team, I am afraid that his position as the main goalkeeper will be lost...

He Ying was originally the closest player to this Olympic team. Although he was born at the end of 1990, he is not a particularly suitable age group player, but because of his outstanding strength, he had a chance before the 2008 Guangzhou Asian Games Selected for this National Olympic Team-also called the National Youth Team-to participate in the Asian Games. Unfortunately, when the Asian Games started one month later, He Ying suffered a serious injury. He missed the Asian Games directly. He also truce for five months, which is the most serious in He Ying's football career. A blow.

As a result, he missed the opportunity to join the Olympic team. Until now, he has not been selected for the Olympic team. Of course, since his injury, the Olympic team has few opportunities to play, and it makes no sense to be selected...

However, I believe that when the Chinese Olympic team begins to impact the London Olympics this year, He Ying will definitely be selected for the Olympic team. (To be continued.) Activate new URL
