155. Debut day of the national team

November 17 finally arrived.

This is a cool and cool late autumn evening, with Chinese people full of wine and meals, bored changing TV channels.

Almost all channels are broadcasting a news program. Listening to those profound speeches and policies that are completely unknown, some people can't help but yawn.

The channel jumped again, and a slightly empty red and white court appeared in the TV screen.

A calm but faintly excited voice rang out.

"CCTV, CCTV, audience friends, you are watching an international friendly match between the Chinese team and the Netherlands team. I am the commentator Liu Jianhong..."

-

This game did not carry out much fanfare in the sports channel, but relying on the increasingly developed online media, the gimmick of "Longshen's First National Team Battle" is enough to attract millions of viewers to sit in front of the TV for CCTV5.

Liu Jian, a freshman at a university in the imperial capital, also turned on his laptop at this time.

The door of the dormitory was pushed open, and his roommate Cao Dong held the basketball in one hand and poked his head out: "What are you doing? Go out to play basketball!"

Liu Jian covered his screen in a panic: "You guys go and play, I'll play games."

"Playing games? You never mute your game!" Another roommate, Li Gang, laughed out loud from outside the door, "I honestly tell you, there are good resources to share!"

"I didn't watch h-movies!" Liu Jian turned on his speaker in anger.

"Get up, people who don't want to be slaves..."

A melodious national anthem echoed in the corridor of the dormitory.

"Damn it, let me sleep!" The fourth roommate Lang Guangjun suddenly sat up from the bed, "I'm going to watch the German game today, please speak softly!"

Cao Dong looked at the computer screen and said in disbelief: "Are you watching Chinese football?"

"You are so leisurely..." Li Gang curled his lips, "It's better to watch h-movies!

Liu Jian rolled his eyes: "I am willing!"

"You must bet on the Chinese team's defeat, right? Help me with one hundred!" Lang Guangjun turned over and made a squeaking sound on the bed, "It's still my De game worth watching..."

-

Although this is a Class A warm-up match recognized by FIFA, due to the tight time and the lack of attention to the Chinese team, the Dutch team did not recruit all the main players, but instead temporarily formed a second-tier team based on players who played in various Eredivisie clubs.

Head coach Van Marvik has lined up a 343 lineup that is obviously biased towards offense:

The goalkeeper is No. 1 national goalkeeper, with defenders such as Anita, Van der Weer and Oyer, Blind, Dezeu, Sim Dejong, plus Feyenoord's Wijnaldum and Udrecht's Stroman, and forwards are Emmanuelson, Twente's Luke Dejong, and Liverpool's Babel. Babel, who lost his position in the Reds, is also the only player to play outside of the 11 starting players.

If the bench is included, the total number of players is 23, and the Dutch national team has 17 players, all of which are Ajax players...

This is almost the match between Ajax and China...

Van Marvik didn't even make any preparations for this game. He only told his young men in the locker room:

“There are a lot of people who are selected for the national team for the first time, and it’s a game that is almost unnoticed, but…you know what this game means to you.”

What does it mean?

If you can’t even solve the problem with the Chinese team, then don’t fantasize about the 2012 European Cup!

Then it will be the world of Van Persie, Sneider, and Robben!

Captain Steglenberg on the field encouraged his teammates without hesitation: "Kill Long Shute!"

“Think about the humiliation we have suffered at the club!

Who is training crazy every day, being established as a model by the coach, and then forcing us to increase the amount of training?

It's him!

We want to tear his national team to pieces!

Let his national team debut become an indelible shadow in his heart!

Let him lower his proud head in the Amsterdam Arena!”

-

Long Shute, sitting on the bench, didn't know what a crazy "swearing ceremony" his old teammate had, but he could see that these bastards were all gathering up their energy after they came on the court...

"The players of the Dutch team were very excited. Their offensive was very strong. At the same time, seven or eight people launched an attack on the Chinese team's defense line..."

Liu Jianhong slowly explained the situation on the court, then broadcast the starting list of both sides, and then expressed his feelings about worrying about the country and the people:

"Wynardum, Blind and other young players born in the 1990s have been selected into the Dutch national team's roster many times. We may be able to understand why the Netherlands can occupy an unignorable position in the world football world in a mere tiny place. Their football philosophy is very advanced and scientific, and their youth training philosophy is worth learning from. Yes, only when the whole people actively participate and increase our football population can Chinese football truly usher in hope..."

——Although he said so, Dutch football is now facing a dilemma of being incompetent. No one among the young players can be compared with the golden generation such as Van Persie, Robben, Sneider, Van der Fate.

Although the Dutch team is only the second team, more than half of the players have experienced the baptism of the 2010 World Cup, not to mention that the Chinese team, which lacks Zheng Zhi, Li Weifeng, Zhao Junzhe, Shao Jiayi and other bigwigs, is not the strongest lineup, so the game was unsurprisingly turned into a half-court offensive drill for the Dutch team from the beginning.

Under the repeated attacks of Babel, Luke Dejong and Emmanuelson, the Chinese team's defense line only lasted for 30 minutes and was declared lost, and then lost two goals in 15 minutes. When the game entered the halftime break, the Chinese team was already behind 0-3.

"Gao Hongbo must find a way to make some adjustments. Although we are trying our best to defend, the defense line still seems very messy. Dewey's mistake just now was a bit amateur."

Liu Jianhong shook his head repeatedly.

Guest Xu Yang said: "We should stabilize the defense first, and then seize the opportunity to attack twice. We cannot let the Netherlands siege so unscrupulously. Our shots in the whole first half were zero, so it would definitely not work if we continue like this. You must know that offense is the best defense..."

Don’t Gao Hongbo know this truth yet?

Does he just like defense? He doesn't want to attack?

Don't he want to suppress the Dutch team and bombard him with his own might?

His confidant disciple Deng Zhuoxiang could not control the ball in front of Sim Dejong and Wijnaldum. Gao Lin, who was at the forefront, could not receive passes from the two sides at all. This could not be blamed, because there were very few crosses from the two sides at all. The occasional passes were outrageous. No matter how powerful he was, Gao Feilin could not rush to the corner flag area to receive the passes from his teammates.

Hao Junmin, who has been training in the Bundesliga for nearly a year, can still pose a little threat to the Netherlands, but he has not played a formal game in Schalke 04 for half a year. What can such a wing forward with a cold foot feel... what can he do?

Gao Hongbo suddenly looked at the somewhat silent new player with some embarrassment.

He didn't expect that the Dutch second-team players would play against the Chinese team so unreservedly. Based on past experience, these European and American teams would involuntarily collect three-pointers when playing against East Asian teams, but today is obviously different.

"The situation today is not very good," Team Leader Cao whispered to Long Shute, "Otherwise... you don't want to appear?"

He is kind-hearted and is already behind three goals. This situation is indeed not a good opportunity to make his debut.

Long Shute shook his head: "Can you tell Coach Gao, can you change me in the second half?"

He had been waiting for a full 45 minutes, and now he didn't want to delay for a second.

What he hates the most is not failure, but that he can only be a spectator for failure!

Even if his appearance cannot turn the situation around or even bring any changes to the game, it is much better than sitting on the bench!

He is going to play!
