52. Another Toulon Cup (2)

After the game, Fu Bo naturally took credit for this victory. Who calls him the head coach?

The commentator also praised the Chinese Olympic team: "Although the Chinese Olympic team played very passively in the first half, they did not give up when the score fell behind. In the second half, they actively made adjustments and overtook

The score was high and we got a precious three points for the Olympic team."

The players also had a tacit understanding and did not reveal a word about what happened during the halftime break. Anyway, everyone is happy with the ending.

On the night before the game ended, Fu Bo specially pulled Zhu Xuhe over, had a chat with him, and praised his performance on the court, which was regarded as acknowledgment of his "disobedience" in the game.

Before the second game, Fu Bo completely acquiesced to the tactics of the Longteng players and allowed them to play according to their own ideas. The players in the backcourt also understood it.

In the second game, due to the victory of the Olympic team, the commentators changed from the previous CCTV newcomers to the classic pairing of He Wei and Xu Yang. The Olympic team will face the Mexican Olympic team.

This Mexican Olympic team is not the team from the last Toulon Cup. The team that played inextricably with the Chinese Olympic team is the real Olympic team. Although the current team has formed

It took about a year. In fact, they are not the strongest at this age. There are also a lot of newcomers among the 20 players participating in this competition, and they only gathered temporarily for 2 weeks.

Even Mexico coach Gutierrez made it clear before the game: "We are mainly training for the Pan American Games. This team is not preparing for the Rio Olympics, but I think some players may have a chance to enter there."

A team.”

During the game, the Olympic team was obviously a head above the opponent, and the frontcourt players composed of Longteng team players put great pressure on the opponent.

He Wei also said: "The offensive style of the Olympic team is exactly the same as that of the Longteng team."

Xu Yang also said with a smile: "The players in the frontcourt are completely Longteng players. Of course they will play the tactics they are familiar with together. In the second half of the last game, they relied on such tactics to defeat the opponent."

Xu Yang had just finished praising the Chinese Olympic team's frontcourt offense, but something went wrong in the backcourt of the Chinese Olympic team.

In the 12th minute of the first half, the quality of the throw-in thrown by the Olympic team in the backcourt was extremely low. The teammate who came to respond rushed the header directly to the Mexican player, which was equivalent to a perfect shot.

of making balls.

The Mexican team immediately counterattacked. Forward Solorio's shot was deflected to the right by Fang Jingqi, who replaced the injured Yeergiti. Cisneros, a small left midfielder, picked up the cake and successfully shot it into the upper corner. The ball hit the crossbar.

The goal was in the net and Mexico took a 1-0 lead.

The mistake of the Olympic team this time came from Fang Jingqi's backcourt pass. He passed the ball to the full-back on the left, and then forced the opponent to take a foul ball, which dug a hole for his teammates.

After losing the ball, the Chinese Olympic team stepped up its attack and finally equalized the score in the last minute and 40th minute of the first half.

This time, Yan Xiaoyu sent a second pass in the frontcourt. Huang He, who had been very active in assisting, made a false shot and passed the ball to Zhu Xuhe. Then he ran horizontally to help Zhu Xuhe draw the opponent's defensive attention.

Zhu Xuhe easily took a shot in front of the penalty area. This shot left Mexico goalkeeper La Jude completely helpless. The Olympic team also turned the score into 1:1.

After the start of the second half, Xiong Jian, who currently has the highest ability value on the team, showed off his abilities. He continuously ran in and out of the midfield, coordinated with short passes from the midfielder position, and drove the attack into the Mexican team's penalty area.

forward.

In the end, Xiong Jian was helplessly knocked down by the opponent, and the Olympic team got an excellent free kick in the frontcourt.

He Wei saw Xiong Jian's series of passes and asked Xu Yang: "Do you think the characteristics of this player Xiong Jian are very similar to Lin Feng?"

Xu Yang also nodded in agreement: "That's true. His running ability is really strong. He also has strong running and passing abilities without the ball. He can go up and down. He is really a replica of Lin Feng. The Longteng team really has a lot of players in reserve.

First hand, he can switch seamlessly with Lin Feng."

In the commentary of the two of them, the Olympic team began to arrange free kick tactics. The only person standing in front of the ball was Yan Xiaoyu. Obviously, the players of the Olympic team recognized that his set-piece ability was the first.

.

He Wei also said: "Yan Xiaoyu is a new star trained by the Longteng team. He is now playing for the Tianshan Snow Leopards in the Chinese League One. He is the absolute core of the team's frontcourt and has scored three goals. At the same time,

He sent out nine assists, which is definitely top-notch performance in the Chinese League One, and all three of his goals came from long-range shots and free kicks. It seems that he is also the number one free kick taker in the Olympic team."

After Yan Xiaoyu observed the opponent's wall, he made a powerful volley to hit the curve ball, but in the end it was a low ball. The Mexican team's wall took off and he missed the path of the ball.

There was space, and the opponent's goalkeeper went to the ground late because he was blocked from view by the wall.

The ball flew close to the ground quickly and into the net, and the Chinese Olympic team finally took the lead.

He Wei shouted happily: "Yan Xiaoyu's free kick was a direct shot. It was beautiful. A ground ball, ah! The ball went in. It was so smart."

"He made a time difference, and the opponent didn't expect it at all." Xu Yang also praised, "Yan Xiaoyu was very calm this time. Even though he is less than 1.7 meters tall, he really has the air of a general on the court.

."

The stadium stands for this match were very small, but the Chinese in France still gave enough support. They filled the stands on both sides of the stadium.

Yan Xiaoyu's offense made them burst with great enthusiasm, and they happily cheered for the Olympic team that overtook the score.

He Wei also smiled and said: "Now that the country's economy is developing well, the Chinese in Europe are becoming more and more active. The audience in the stands today are basically us Chinese."

"The players of the Olympic team lived up to their enthusiasm." Xu Yang also praised the players.

After taking the lead, the Olympic team played more confidently. As the connector between the team's frontcourt and backcourt, Xiong Jian played at a very high level. His style of play as a B2B player made He Wei and Xu Yang keep playing.

gave him his praise.

In the 23rd minute of the second half, Xiong Jian went to the frontcourt again. This time, the defensive midfielder who was responsible for defending him received a yellow card for a foul on the court. He did not dare to reach out anymore, allowing Xiong Jian to pass the ball to the left and enter the penalty area.

Ni Kai.

Ni Kai was tackled by the opponent's center back in the penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick.

As the team's main center, Tang Jin lived up to everyone's expectations. He scored a penalty kick with a powerful volley, and the Chinese Olympic team expanded the score to 3:1.

Mexico's head coach Gutierrez immediately made substitutions.

His substitution quickly bore fruit. The pass of Escamilla, who was newly introduced, was tipped over by the central defender of the Olympic team. Cisneros, who was ambushing at the back point, successfully picked up the ball again and stopped the ball with his chest.

, a beautiful flying volley, tied the score to 2:3.

He Wei said regretfully: "The mistake of this ball was too low. The central defender had his head in the penalty area. I really don't dare to think about it."

After the goal, the Mexican team went on the offensive and continuously besieged the Chinese Olympic team. At the last moment, even frontcourt players like Zhu Xuhe were forced to return to the penalty area to block the opponent's shot.

When it came to overtime, Fu Bo also used continuous substitutions to interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm, thus preserving the victory of the game.

After this game, the Chinese Olympic team, which has won two consecutive victories, has received great attention from the outside world. These players on the field have not only attracted the attention of European clubs, but also domestic clubs are thinking about whether they can poach players from the Longteng team.

Next piece of meat goes.

The Olympic team is picturesque in the frontcourt, but its performance in the backcourt is so rotten that people both love and hate it. Everyone was extremely worried about the third game, because the very next day, they faced Cote d'Ivoire in the third round.

The game is about to start, and many players from the previous round will be rotated.

The frontcourt could be beautiful before, but now it may even become ugly. No one is optimistic about this game.

And the game process was just as everyone thought. The Olympic team, which didn't even have a single player from the Longteng team, was completely beaten.

Fu Bo was also ruthless and directly set up a 5-4-1 formation. Except for Chen Hao in the frontcourt, all the players were in their own half.

He Wei, who was in charge of the commentary, also said: "Is this a posture where you are ready to defend to the very beginning?"

In the first half, the Olympic team struggled to hold on without conceding a goal.

After the second half, Cote d'Ivoire began to make continuous substitutions. It was not until the fourth player was replaced in the 30th minute of the second half (the Toulon Cup allows a maximum of four players to be substituted in a game) that Cote d'Ivoire took advantage of a set-piece opportunity.

It was Ultra who knocked on the door of the Olympic team.

In the end, the Olympic team lost the game 0:1.

After this game, the Chinese Olympic team, which has six points, will face the most critical game - the final round against England.

This year's England team is the domestic U20 team, which is the substitute team of the official U21 national team, so the team is basically composed of players who are not very famous.

The only one who is somewhat famous is Watmore, who just finished the 2014-2015 season, but judging from the previous games, this player is a typical English blue-collar mad dog midfielder, with high fighting spirit and strong body, but his foot skills are really poor.

To be honest, it is common for the ball to be intercepted and the ball to be passed incorrectly.

In fact, this is also a true portrayal of this England U20 team. Their coordination is poor and their skills are rough. They basically rely on long passes, impact and physical confrontation.

Therefore, in this team, the more threatening ones are Swift, who is responsible for long passes, Baker, who is good at set-piece free throws, and Akpon, the extremely fast counterattack forward.

For such a team, the boys of the Chinese Olympic team chose the safest way of playing, which is to slowly control the ball at their feet, and immediately counterattack when the ball is lost, preventing them from passing good long passes.

Sure enough, under this style of play, the England team played extremely awkwardly. Swift, who was responsible for organizing the midfield, did not have many opportunities to get the ball. The Olympic team controlled the ball in the midfield for far longer than them.

As players from the English league, which has been successful in commercialization in the world, they also receive the highest attention. Therefore, compared to the previous games of the Chinese Olympic team, there were a large number of English scouts on the sidelines. The main purpose of their trip

Or look at the players in the England team.

But slowly, they were taken seriously by the performance of the Chinese Olympic team.

In the 12th minute of the first half, Yan Xiaoyu used his good foot skills to tease the opponent's midfielder Jamie Hansen. The 1.92 meter strong man was completely beaten by Yan Xiaoyu's continuous circles.

He was stunned. When Yan Xiaoyu started, he didn't even finish turning around. Although Yan Xiaoyu's long-range shot missed slightly in the end, the fans on the sidelines still gave him warm applause.

He Wei also laughed and said: "For a player who is 1.68 meters tall, compared to a player who is 1.92 meters tall, the turning radius is half less."

Soon the England team also realized that Yan Xiaoyu was the frontcourt organizer of the Chinese Olympic team. As the team's offensive and defensive metronome, Lewis Baker stepped up the pressure on Yan Xiaoyu.

Baker's ability is much better than Jamie Hansen. As Chelsea's rising star, he helped Chelsea's youth team win the U-21 Premier League championship in the 2013-2014 season. His defense made Yan Xiaoyu very

He was so uncomfortable that he could no longer easily deliver good balls to his teammates in the midfield.

Seeing Yan Xiaoyu's situation, Xiong Jian took the initiative to assume the role of midfielder. He began to run forward more, taking advantage of being slightly away from the opponent's defensive area to start playing ball for his teammates.

However, Jamie Hansen quickly found him, because Xiong Jian's extraordinary ability was really average, and he seemed to be at a disadvantage facing Jamie Hansen's defense. After all, in terms of physical confrontation, the two were far behind.

As the Chinese Olympic team's offense was blocked, England's offense became sharper.

After Baker finished guarding Yan Xiaoyu, he was able to take more time to link up the front and backcourt.

In the 20th minute of the first half, after cutting off Yan Xiaoyu's attack, he faced Yan Xiaoyu's counterattack and handed the ball to Swift, who found Aaron on the right with a through pass.

Si, but the latter's shot went slightly over the crossbar.

The Olympic team seemed passive.

Faced with this situation, Qu Wenming, another midfielder of the Olympic team, showed his value.

After his two offensive organization teammates were seen dead, he began to try to take over the organization's work. Xiong Jian also began to consciously hand the ball to him, and then moved him to create gaps.

In the 30th minute of the first half, Qu Wenming took the ball and accurately handed it to Ni Kai on the left. The latter inserted into the gap between England's right back Odubayor and right center back Stephens and took advantage of it.

The two defenses were out of sync and broke into the penalty area.

Fortunately, Baker did a good job and came over to cover the position successfully, which made Ni Kai's shooting angle become very small. Ni Kai's forced shot finally missed the goal.
