Fame with a ball

Chapter 182 The next warm-up match with Argentina

During the intermission, Camacho announced as soon as he walked into the locker room: "In the second half, Tang Miao replaced Sun Xiang, Feng Renliang replaced Zheng Zhi, and Zhang Yuan replaced Gao Lin."

The locker room suddenly erupted: "Why should I be replaced?"

"This is not fair!"

"Without me on the field, the Chinese team will be even worse in the second half! If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

In the 21-man roster of the Chinese team for the World Cup in Brazil, 7 people are from Guangzhou Evergrande, including the current national team captain Zheng Zhi. There are five Evergrande players in the starting lineup in the first half, and now Camacho He wanted to replace three people in one breath, Zheng Zhi first protested, and he expressed his dissatisfaction.The few remaining Evergrande players immediately expressed their support for Zheng Zhi, while the rest of the players, some chose to stay silent while protecting themselves, while others sneered disdainfully.

Camacho's expression has not changed from the beginning to the end. He will not reprimand these players for falling out with them, because he is still nostalgic for his 610 million euros, the ninth highest annual salary of a world football coach, so he chooses to deal with this matter coldly and violently. Thing - Zheng Zhi and the others will definitely be replaced, anyway, he is the coach of the team, isn't he?You want to protest?Okay, let's make a noise, it's better to swear a few more words, so that when your football team investigates the whole thing in the future, I will be the most innocent one.

Zheng Zhi's protest did not get Camacho's response, so they turned to sneering at those who were about to replace them, saying that Tang Miao was too young, Feng Renliang was inexperienced, and Zhang Yuan's immature appearance would only cause bad things... Usually relying on their power, Zheng Zhi and the others can say whatever they want in the locker room, but today I don't know what happened, everyone is very angry, Zhang Yuan and three others who were provoked by their words The young player retorted back very unconvinced, and there were people fanning the flames, and the locker room was suddenly bustling like a vegetable market.

It's just like a farce.

"Enough." Lin Zhigao said with a cold expression: "It seems that everyone is very happy that Argentina only penetrated our goal four times in the first half."

The locker room fell silent suddenly, and the others looked at each other, not knowing what Lin Zhigao was talking about.

"But this is a shame that I have never had before."

After saying this, Lin Zhigao stood up and slammed the door out.

His expression was cold, and his words were also cold, but he didn't swear, and he didn't yell at these guys, although he really wanted to do that.

However, the other people staying in the locker room also felt the deep anger suppressed by Lin Zhigao's words. Thinking about it carefully, since Lin Zhigao became a professional player, it seems, it seems... really there is no one. Conceded four goals at halftime in one game?

God, no!

It is common for the Chinese team players to be pierced by their opponents, conceding three, four, five or six goals, and occasionally seven or eight or nine goals. A record in history, and this record... is disgraceful.

Lin Zhigao is not a ball bully, but no one dares to ignore his status in the locker room of the Chinese team.

Lin Zhigao is not the captain either, but every captain dare not have a bad relationship with him.

Lin Zhigao did not have any friendship with the officials of the Football Association or the General Administration, but even the most backed players in the national team did not dare to offend him easily.

Because everyone knows that Lin Zhigao is the guarantee of the performance of the Chinese team today. If he makes an accident and loses the pick, everyone will follow along to finish the game together.

In China, none of the players who can be recruited by the national team has a low EQ, especially when faced with such a critical decision... There was silence in the locker room, and everyone was spinning their brain cells desperately. Suddenly realized that they were wrong, very wrong!

They were too short-sighted in the first half, almost causing internal strife just for the temporary honor, and not only did no one benefit, but also let the Argentine team blast the Chinese team's goals time and time again.Just imagine, if they can be smarter and feed Lin Zhigao the ball in the first half, then according to Lin Zhigao's character, he will definitely feed back in the second half! ——It’s all because the world famous coaches in the stands are very tempting, making them fascinated for a while. In fact, if you think about it carefully, even if they score a goal in this game, would those famous coaches be so tempted because of this? A ball to buy them to Europe?Will not.On the contrary, Lin Zhigao seems to have a good relationship with these head coaches...if he passes him...wouldn't he be able to follow Huang Bowen's old path? !

Camacho knew the reason for the sudden flashes of light in the eyes of those veterans from the national team, but he didn't point it out, and just said along the way: "About our arrangements for the second half..."

……

When most of the players of the two teams were still in the locker room, Lin Zhigao appeared in the warm-up area of ​​the stadium, which attracted the attention of many people in the stands.

Seeing Lin Zhigao's expression, Mourinho smiled: "This kid is very patient."

Capello just couldn't understand the Real Madrid coach, he pouted: "That's a sign that he is about to explode."

Sir Alex Ferguson started a calculator in his mind, and prepared to offer a price for Lin Zhigao who was "dragged by his teammates in the second half" and Lin Zhigao who "staged a big explosion in the second half". Of course, the latter one must be more valuable than the former one.

Lippi, who has been away from the mainstream of world football for several years and is currently the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande, is also suffering from a headache at the moment. The half-time match he just watched made him have a lot of opinions on some players, but those people's buying Or sell, it is not something he can decide.

Messi also appeared at the end of the player tunnel in advance. When he saw a figure in a red jersey in the warm-up area, he was slightly taken aback, but then walked over.

"Forest."

Lin Zhigao raised his head and smiled, "Leo."

"You, uh, are a little unhappy." Messi said cautiously.

Lin Zhigao shrugged his shoulders: "Then are you happy to torture us?"

Messi let out a very awkward, short laugh.

"Don't think I'm angry with you, Leo." Lin Zhigao changed his expression, he approached Messi and patted him on the shoulder: "There's nothing to complain about the fact that I'm not as good as someone, let alone if I want to Being angry is not angry with you."

"Knowing that the Chinese team has been shortlisted for the finals, I thought you would have been united as one." Messi weighed his words and said, "Some things I saw in the first half of the game surprised me."

Lin Zhigao didn't know what to say. The Chinese team has always had problems, but the problems were not too serious because of the weak opponents they encountered before. Now that they have come to Brazil, they have encountered so many strong football teams. Especially in a world-class like Argentina, the contradictions that could have been suppressed for a while also exploded early.But these are too complicated to explain to Messi in just a few words, let alone what is the use of telling the other party?So Lin Zhigao simply covered up the matter: "We have always been like this, so after the World Cup starts, things will not get better, but they won't get worse either."

Before returning to Argentina's warm-up zone, Messi said to Lin Zhigao: "If you are not used to it or happy, then change it and make yourself happy." What he didn't say was that he was in the Argentine national team. That's what it does.

but……

Lin Zhigao raised his eyebrows, changing the Chinese national team?He thought he didn't have that much energy yet.

……

At the start of the second half, the football of the Argentine team was still efficient, fast and beautiful, but the Chinese team also changed a little bit-the rhythm was faster, the useless passes were reduced, and the players finally behaved like they were a national team. that's it.

In the 50th minute of the game, Zhao Peng started from the backcourt, and the Chinese team played a simple and quick counterattack.

Zhao Peng started from the defense of the Chinese team. After a long run-up, he suddenly knocked the ball across the middle.

Lin Zhigao was standing in the middle, and Argentine midfielder Mascherano was beside Lin Zhigao.

Mascherano suddenly bullied him and grabbed the ball. Lin Zhigao reacted a little faster than him, and controlled the ball a second earlier than him.

This was obviously a pleasing pass, because Huang Bowen was in a better position than Lin Zhigao at this time, but Zhao Peng still passed the ball to him.

Lin Zhigao's shoulders suddenly tilted to the right, Mascherano threw himself to the right reflexively, Lin Zhigao pulled his body back sharply in an instant, and broke through from the left.

Mascherano cursed secretly, "Damn it!" He immediately turned and chased after him.

Lin Zhigao swayed from left to right in the Argentine half, advancing from the center for a while, and suddenly dribbling into the right. Behind his buttocks were a large number of Argentine central defenders, and there were still a few people in front of him. All the firepower was concentrated on him.

In the stands, Capello pursed into a faint smile. Watching Lin Zhigao train every day, no one knew better than him what this kid was going to do next.

Just when Lin Zhigao was more than ten meters away from the penalty area, he suddenly dribbled the ball to an emergency stop, and kicked again and again with his left foot, sending out a high-quality cross!

"Ah!" It was Mourinho who exclaimed. Even he didn't expect that Lin Zhigao didn't even have a trace of nostalgia, and he passed the ball as soon as he said it.

At the front of the penalty area, a young Chinese player in a red jersey raised his right foot high!

But it was Huang Bowen who sneaked into the Argentine penalty area at some point!

Argentine goalkeeper Romero's forehead broke out in cold sweat. He could see that what Huang Bowen did was a shot!

Sure enough, Huang Bowen aimed at the flying football and swung his right foot directly!

"Bang" loud noise!

It was the football that hit the angle between the column and the beam!

The ball didn't go in!

All members of Argentina collectively let out a sigh of relief.

The Chinese reporters in the press area finally dared to shout "beautiful!" They also watched the first half of the game very aggrieved, so it didn't look like the Chinese team that eliminated the South Korean team and broke into the World Cup, it was a mess Mess!

And some people who understand foreign languages ​​hurriedly explained to their foreign counterparts: "In the first half of the game, the Chinese players did not play Chinese football, but now it is. When you write news, you must point this out. Ours The strength is actually not weak..."

Although Huang Bowen's goal was missed, the shot was still meaningful, because it was an offensive cooperation by all the players of the Chinese team in the true sense of the game.

The morale that had disappeared from the Chinese team finally came back a little bit.

And many Chinese players have further realized how badly they made mistakes in the first half.

Time passed slowly, and the Argentine team launched two more attacks. Of course, the core was Messi, but unexpectedly, these two attacks were defended by the Chinese team-although the formation of the Chinese team has become more and more in the later stage. It's close to 9-0-1.

In the 67th minute, Lin Zhigao, who suppressed most of the game, finally ushered in his own explosion!

Zhao Xuri made an ordinary pass in the middle. Lin Zhigao's position was not good. In front of him stood Banega and Di Maria who were forming an angle to him.

But at the moment when he took the ball, Lin Zhigao suddenly exerted his strength, and abruptly dribbled the ball out from between the two of them!

After breaking through, Lin Zhigao moved forward with the ball. When he encountered Sabareta’s block, he suddenly stepped forward with his right foot, stepping over the football that was rolling on the turf at high speed. The football was still rolling, but Lin Zhigao followed the left With a swipe of the foot, he waded across the football, then his right foot, his left foot... his legs danced as if they were twisting from a distance.

Sabareta only felt a pair of legs spinning around in front of his eyes, and when he shook his head to throw these out of his mind, in the blink of an eye, the ball was gone, and the person was gone!

A high-speed pedal bike!

"Wonderful!" Mourinho couldn't help shouting.

Capello rolled his eyes sharply.

Ferguson jumped up the numbers in his mind.

One changed direction and accelerated, and another passed 5 meters in front of the penalty area!

The goal of the Argentine team was right in front of him. Lin Zhigao glanced around and suddenly swung his right foot!

A big bang!

The shot was so sudden that even Heinze, who was defending Lin Zhigao, didn't see his movement clearly!

Argentine goalkeeper Romero's pupils shrank even more. Seeing the black and white sphere getting bigger and bigger in his sight, he had no choice but to choose a direction in a panic and rushed over!

There is only strength and speed, but no skill to blast the door vigorously!

So simple, yet full of violent beauty!

If Buffon were here, he would surely smile and say, "I could have saved Lin's ball with my eyes closed!"

But it is Romero who guards the gate of Argentina!

That Romero who has never confronted Lin Zhigao!

Not only did the Argentine goalkeeper jump in the wrong direction, he even miscalculated the speed of Lin Zhigao's shot!

When he was moving from the middle to the left, before his body jumped up, the football had already entered the goal along the gap on the right!

The ball went in! ! !

The Morumby Stadium, which was almost semi-enclosed, with only a few thousand spectators, burst into violent applause!

This is for Lin Zhigao!

Football is an 11-person sport, but Lin Zhigao's behavior at the moment has told the world-how much power can be exerted by one person on the field!

……

The final score was fixed at 5:1.

For Argentina, it was a motivating victory before the official start of the World Cup.

For the Chinese team, it was like a basin of downright cold water being poured head-on, extinguishing the luck of countless people.

The changes brought by failure to Chinese players are not small-if it is said that just 90 minutes can change a person's temperament, then most people will probably not believe it, but the reality is like this.

Before the game, most of the Chinese team players exuded an aura of "I am the best in the world and no one is a dick". When they saw Camacho, they just nodded arrogantly and didn't take the opponent seriously at all. Now , they became as obedient as kittens, and all the domineering expressions on their faces disappeared. When Camacho criticized them fiercely because of the result of the match, no one dared to raise any objections.

At the end of the warm-up match, many media from various countries gathered in Brazil laughed at the Chinese team's overreaching. The media that originally planned to focus on them also turned their lips to report on the Japanese team or New Zealand, but for the current Chinese team Generally speaking, it is far better to be underestimated than to be looked up to.
