Chapter 2160 The hemp rope always breaks at the smallest point
"...The first half of the game is over. This first half...I believe that it is unsatisfactory for any Chinese fan. Facing Burkina Faso, which is obviously weaker than us, the Chinese team was late.
It’s too late to open up the situation..."
In the broadcast screen, there are players from both sides exiting the field.
After some wandering, the close-up camera focused on Zhang Qinghuan, the No. 10 player of the Chinese team.
At the same time, Shen Lang, the commentator of Tengfei Video, continued: "... Qin Lin started Zhang Qinghuan in this game in the hope of increasing the quality of the Chinese team's offense. But obviously, facing Burkina Faso,
On the bus, Zhang Qinghuan, who was in poor condition, could not open up the situation. He could neither break through with the ball nor find the space in Burkina Faso's defense..."
In the close-up shot, Zhang Qinghuan lowers his head and walks towards the players' tunnel.
But even though he lowered his head, his expression was still clearly shown in the camera.
He frowned slightly, with a hint of sadness and unwillingness in his brows.
Such a "melancholy" look will definitely make countless female fans heartbroken and overflowing with maternal love.

"Fuck, what are you looking at, Brother Huan?"
While Zhang Qinghuan was watching the video with headphones on, Chen Xingyi, who caught a glimpse of the screen of his mobile phone from a distance, lowered his voice and spoke to his friends around him.
Others put their feet up, raised their necks, and peeked from behind.
What I saw was a close-up shot of Zhang Qinghuan walking off the court with her head down.
The screen of the mobile phone is not big, but because it is a close-up shot, Brother Huan's melancholic prince-like profile is very eye-catching and clear.
Although there was only one close-up shot, Xia Xiaoyu still guessed the answer: "This...is our game against Burkina Faso, right?"
"That's right." Wang Guangwei affirmed, "Brother Huan didn't look like this after the game against England."
"Isn't that the game where Brother Huan was... criticized? Why is he watching this?" Xia Xiaoyu asked everyone. "Isn't he still coming out of that game?"
Xia Xiaoyu is still kind-hearted and speaks tactfully.
In fact, there is no criticism at all. I was scolded very miserably!
Ever since the Chinese team eliminated England 6-0, the world seems to have become extremely kind and friendly to the Chinese team. All the voices on the Internet are praising them, and there is no criticism at all.
All the players of the Chinese team seemed to be soaked in honey water.
But everyone knows who is the most depressed person on such a beautiful day.
Playing Burkina Faso in the quarter-finals, facing the weakest team in the top 16, the Chinese team struggled very much.
The main reason is that Brother Huan performed poorly after starting.
After Coach Qin decisively replaced Brother Huan during the halftime break, the Chinese team's offense immediately improved and picked up.
Doesn’t this highlight Brother Huan’s failure?
What's even more terrible is that in the quarter-finals, the Chinese team beat England with six goals without Huan Ge, which seemed to further prove that the Chinese team played better without Huan Ge.
Winning is certainly a good thing, but reaching the semifinals is even more of a joy.
But in the face of such an achievement that is celebrated by everyone, who is missing is embarrassed...
Chen Xingyi poked Hu Lai with his elbow: "How about you go and play tricks on Brother Huan in front of him, distract him and let him get out of that mood?"
Hu Lai snorted coldly: "Little Xingxing, you are pretty good at playing tricks. Why don't you go?"
Chen Xingyi smiled playfully: "No, no, I'm still far behind. You are at the level of a great master."
Even Xia Xiaoyu looked at Hu Lai. Although he didn't say anything, there was something in his eyes.
Hu Lai shook his head: "Don't worry so blindly. Let me tell you, Brother Huan is doing very well now."
"What's the good thing? You've become a masochist..." Chen Xingyi complained.
Unexpectedly, Hu Lai agreed with him: "You are right, little Xingxing. Brother Huan is looking for abuse."
"Looking for abuse? Brother Huan has water in his head?" Chen Xingyi's eyes widened.
Hu Lai snorted: "Brother Huan is trying his luck in cyberspace."
"What the hell?" This time not only Chen Xingyi, but also no one else understood.
Hu Lai explained: "You have to lie down on the firewood and taste the courage."
Chen Xingyi smiled: "Hu Lai, don't beat around the bush here, let me tell you, you are the king of Yue, and our brother Huan is not that mean!"
Xia Xiaoyu covered his face - he hadn't even reacted yet, Brother Xing's mind was spinning so fast! Lying down on the fuel and tasting gall was an allusion to King Gou Jian of Yue. Brother Hu said that Brother Huan was lying on the fuel and tasted gall. Isn't that a disguised way of saying that Brother Huan was "cheap enough"?
He thought Hu Lai was making fun of Brother Huan again, but Wang Guangwei suddenly stood up and supported Hu Lai: "Hu Lai is right, what Brother Huan did was really like trying to take advantage of others. I don't know what was said in that video.
But there shouldn’t be anything nice to say. Shen Lang of Tengfei Video is nicknamed ‘Big Mouth’. Maybe Brother Huan wants to stimulate himself by watching this video, right?”
"Stimulate yourself? The criticism of Brother Huan on the Internet hasn't stimulated him enough?"
"Hey, don't talk about it yet. If there is really an activity of 'I read Heizi's comments', Brother Huan might actually sign up." Hu Lai curled his lips and teased.
"Brother Huan, what are you trying to do?" Chen Xingyi still couldn't figure it out.
"I told you, I'm trying to be brave! What's the story about?" Hu Lai asked him, "How is Brother Huan's training attitude during this period?"
"Then you don't have to choose." Chen Xingyi replied.
"So, Brother Huan is holding back a lot of energy in his heart..." Before Hu Lai could finish his words, he saw Zhang Qinghuan taking off his headphones, and his words stopped abruptly.
※※※
"For most of the first half, Zhang Qinghuan just kept catching and passing the ball. It looked very busy, but in fact it was of no use. I don't know if it was because he didn't play well in Sarria this season, so Zhang Qinghuan's condition
He still hasn't recovered... It feels like his physical functions are not as good as before. This should be due to both injury and insufficient training.
"I think Qin Lin should replace Zhang Qinghuan as soon as possible. Judging from his performance in the first half of this game, he is the weakest link of the Chinese team. I understand the feelings of many fans towards Zhang Qinghuan, but as the team's head coach,
You must not be emotional at this time..."
Amid the merciless criticism from Shen Lang, the commentator of the Ascendas video, Zhang Qinghuan walked into the player tunnel with his head lowered, and his entire figure blended into the shadows until the camera cut away.
The video ends here.
Zhang Qinghuan exited the playback interface, took off the wireless Starlight headphones, seemed to feel something in his heart, and turned to look.
Then he saw a few familiar faces not far behind him, with familiar but different smiles.
Seeing him looking over, he said to him: "Brother Huan, let's go and eat!"
※※※
"The day after tomorrow is our semi-final against Brazil. We still have two days to prepare before that. I think we need to have a small meeting together before the start of training today."
Qin Lin said to the coaching staff and medical team colleagues in the room.
"We have officially entered the 'no man's land' of Chinese football. Our best result in the World Cup before was to reach the quarter-finals, and then nothing happened. We lack experience for the next games.
.In the past, you could cross the river by feeling the stones, but now you don’t even have to touch the stones. Do you have any opinions on how to arrange the next training?"
The coaches looked at each other, and then Fabio Pegriffi, the team's physical coach, said in Chinese with a heavy accent and not very proficient: "Pay attention to your physical fitness, the schedule is intensive."
Pegriffi used to be Jorge Dillon's physical fitness coach, and he and Dillon have worked together for many years, from Europe to China, and they have a tacit understanding. Later, he joined the Chinese national team with Dillon.
After Dillon's contract with the Chinese team expired and he left, Pegriffey chose to stay with the Chinese team and continue to serve as the team's physical coach.
The 57-year-old Italian is a very high-level and experienced physical trainer.
Qin Lin must take his opinions seriously.
Yuan Bo, the team's medical leader, also said: "I'm worried about the injuries in the team. We are lucky and there are no serious injuries yet, but in fact many people have some injuries. The World Cup is like this.
With the intensive schedule, players have already played five games, and the chances of injuries occurring and getting worse are also greatly increased."
So far, the Chinese team's World Cup journey has been generally smooth.
No one was suspended due to red or yellow cards, and no one withdrew from the World Cup due to injury.
But that doesn't mean things are good.
In fact, many players in the Chinese team train and compete with injuries.
For example, right back Yuan Da felt some muscle soreness after the game against England and has been a frequent visitor to the physiotherapy room for the past two days.
Luo Kai also has muscle problems. He was replaced early in the game against England. It was not only a tactical adjustment, but more importantly, let him have a good rest.
Xia Xiaoyu had some discomfort in his waist before the game against England. However, it did not affect the game, so he still started in the game against England. His performance in the game was also very good, but the discomfort in his waist is still a hidden danger.
It's very concerning and may affect his physical confrontation in the game.
Center Tan Yunlong injured his shoulder during training after the group stage. His left shoulder is still bandaged during training.
As for the small bumps and bruises, there are more.
After Hu Lai finished playing a game, both of his legs were covered with bruises caused by collisions. Fortunately, they were all serious injuries, and no joints, ligaments or muscles were injured.
What the outside world saw was that the Chinese team was in full swing, winning the group stage and qualifying first, and sweeping England 6-0 in the quarter-finals. It was all a glorious side.
But behind the scenes, the coaches on the Chinese team's coaching staff know very well that this team also has many problems.
Physical problems, injury problems.
If we don't take it seriously, who knows if it will all explode in the next semi-final.
The game against Brazil is definitely a tough battle. The defending champion is completely different from England.
After listening to the opinions of the physical coach and team medical team leader, Qin Lin nodded and agreed: "We still practice twice a day, but we need to increase the content of physical recovery training. In addition, after the training, each player must receive recovery massage.
This cannot be omitted. In addition, players’ physical data must be recorded in detail during training and their physical changes must be monitored. If there are potential injuries, prevention must be carried out early...”
Neither Yuan Bo nor Pegriffey had any objections to this arrangement.
Then Qin Lin said to assistant coach Ding Gaoyi: "We need to make a few more plans for the game against Brazil. Different tactics will be used in different situations. Zhang Qinghuan can enrich our tactical options... The team must be very proficient in 442 and 442.
Switching back and forth between these two formations of 352 is what we have to do in training."
Ding Gaoyi nodded and agreed.
※※※
Before tactical training begins, the players must first be divided into groups.
There are a total of twenty-six people in the national team, and not all of them have to practice the same content.
For example, offensive players and defensive players have different training content.
Ding Gaoyi began to call the names of the groups. After calling the names of Ou Yangjin and Xia Xiaoyu, he called again: "Zhang Qinghuan."
Zhang Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then walked out of the crowd and took the blue training vest from the coach.
After the grouping was completed, Ding Gaoyi called Xia Xiaoyu, Ou Yangjin and Zhang Qinghuan individually for face-to-face interviews:
"... After passing the ball, Qing Huan, you have to actively push forward into the penalty area to increase our contact points in the penalty area... In this case, Xiaoyu, you have to put your position premise on top of the previous Qing Huan
Huan Zai’s position. Ouyang should pay attention to protecting Xiaoyu’s back..."
The other Chinese team players waiting nearby couldn't help but discuss in a low voice when they saw this scene:
"Does Coach Qin plan to let Brother Huan start in the next game?"
"Are we going to play 352 next game?"
"That's not right, Lao Cai didn't train with the defensive team..."
"Brazil's offensive firepower is very strong, and we really need to strengthen the midfield..."
"Hey, you said that Director Qin has never refuted the rumors outside, is it just to trick Brazil in the semi-finals? I bet Brazil doesn't know that Brother Huan will play in the next game..."
"Don't tell me, it's really possible!"
"My hard work pays off! Brother Huan finally got his chance!"
"Brother Huan is awesome!"
Contrary to what the outside world thinks, there are actually not so many conspiracy theories within the national team regarding the treatment of Zhang Qinghuan.
All the players of the national team sincerely hope that Brother Huan can find his form as soon as possible.
As the oldest and most senior player in the national team, Brother Huan doesn't have the airs of "big brother" and can get along well with everyone. The story of his prodigal son's return is also inspiring enough.
Who doesn’t like this kind of Huan Ge?
Before the training started, someone shouted to Zhang Qinghuan: "Come on, brother Huan!"
Zhang Qinghuan smiled back at them.
Then take a deep breath and look serious.
He also doesn't know whether the coaching staff's arrangement means that he will get more playing opportunities in the game against Brazil.
He doesn't want to guess the intentions of the coaching staff. Anyway, if he trains hard and seriously, Brother Lin will naturally take note of his performance.
He believes that he is still useful to this team.
All you have to do is wait, wait patiently, and prepare carefully.
※※※
Zhang Qinghuan receives the ball with his back to the attacking direction.
After receiving the ball, he quickly passed the football horizontally to Chen Xingyi on the wing, then turned around and ran forward. Following the coach's instructions, he resolutely ran into the penalty area and made a response gesture at the same time.
Chen Xingyi passed the football from the wing.
Center back Cai Shuyi saw Zhang Qinghuan about to catch the ball and immediately rushed to defend.
Facing Cai Shuyi, Zhang Qinghuan stepped forward and faced the football. At the same time, he supported his body with his right leg and raised his left foot!
He wants to shoot directly!
Cai Shuyi quickly dropped his weight and fell to the ground, intending to use his body to block Brother Huan's shot.
But Zhang Qinghuan swung his left leg, but there was no follow-up action. He just let the football pass in front of him and roll towards the center.
Behind him, Hu Lai suddenly burst out and easily pushed the ball towards the ball.
The football flew into the goal guarded by Song Kun.
"Oh! Beautiful!"
"Brother Huan is awesome!"
"Brother Huan leaks beautifully!"
Everyone cheered and applauded Zhang Qinghuan's clever move.
Even the head coach Qin Lin on the sidelines showed a slight smile and was happy with Zhang Qinghuan's handling.
This leak allowed him to see Zhang Qinghuan's aura, and this was exactly what he hoped Zhang Qinghuan could find back.
In the game against Burkina Faso, Zhang Qinghuan lost this aura. In the first half, he played like a passing and receiving machine, just catching and passing the ball rigidly, as if he could only play in one rhythm.
Metronome.
He doesn't need Zhang Qinghuan to control the rhythm by passing and receiving. He puts Zhang Qinghuan on the court in the hope of using his aura to create opportunities and tear open the opponent's defense.
The ball just now made him see the Zhang Qinghuan from before.
If Zhang Qinghuan can maintain this kind of performance, then he might really be a surprise player against Brazil in the next game.
Hu Lai, who scored the goal, was going to give Brother Huan a high-five. Although it was training, there was still a sense of ritual.
But just as he ran to Zhang Qinghuan, he saw Brother Huan holding his right knee and slowly sitting down.
Qin Lin, who had been looking at the stadium in trance, also saw this scene, his eyes quickly focused, and when he saw clearly, his eyes widened.

[Breaking news: Zhang Qinghuan ended training early and is suspected of being injured!]
