"At 17:45 this afternoon, at the Beijing Olympic Sports Center, the Chinese men's national team ended an international football friendly match. With the outstanding performance of all the players, the Chinese team defeated Vietnam 8-0..."

At 18:00 p.m. on October 11, CCTV5's sports news column officially reported this inspiring news.

Major online media have announced the results of this game almost at the same time.

"Crazy! The third national football team beat Vietnam's second team in eight goals!"

"Sigh! The three generations of old, middle-aged and young people gathered together, and the national football team is so prosperous!"

"Good! Many young players born in the 1990s have shown their strength, and the future of the national football team is promising!"

"The weakest in history? The starting 11-man national team averaged less than 8 games!"

"Fuck! The Chinese team with Long Shute's start will always be the strongest team in history!"

An hour later, the news program, the world's largest audience, also reported the information about the game at the end.

Don't be too suspicious. Even if the national team plays like a dog, it will never lack media attention, let alone a refreshing massacre...

However, since this game was not an official competition, the news broadcast only gave a wonderful scene of one and a half minutes - there was no way, it would take more than one minute to play all 8 goals!

Among the eight goals, Long Shute contracted 4 goals alone, and in addition, he also gave Gao Lin an assist.

He could have scored his goals to a higher level, but he didn't do that.

Because he still remembers what his main task was to go back to China to participate in the competition...

After the second half, Long Shute, as the captain, began to drive the whole team to cooperate more, and through actual experience, he examined whether these new teammates were adapted to the tactical requirements of this national team.

After Gao Lin scored a goal, Xu Liang and Shao Jiayi expanded the score with free kicks one after another. Wu Lei, who came on the bench, scored the last anti-offside single shot that was icing on the cake, fixing the score at 8-0.

"Ten four thousand runs in a single game?"

When those players who played with Long Shute for the first time saw the data given by the post-match data company, they were unable to accept it for a while.

The famous health ball expert Wang Xinxin thought about his average running distance of less than 8,000 meters in the Chinese Super League, and was a little crying:

"Are we really playing in the midfield positions? What should I do when I meet such a big shot who can run like this? Lao Wang!"

-

The Chinese team is not equipped with professional tactical analysts, or the person in charge of this work is not professional enough, so Long Shute simply took on this task himself. Anyway, he has a system, and almost no one can be his teacher in data analysis and tactical play...

"We don't need too many tactical changes, because on the World Cup stage, we must be the weaker side, so from now on, we must pay more attention to defensive counterattack..."

Coach Long talked about the tactical board:

“There are still two major parts: defense and offense.

Defence is of course the top priority, because it requires everyone to actively participate.

This is not to let the forward retreat back to the depths of the penalty area. In fact, I do not advocate this too extreme defense method, but hope that when the opponent attacks, the forward, front midfielder, and the forwards will interfere with them as soon as possible and delay their advancement speed as much as possible, just like this..."

He turned on the computer's remote control and played the system-organized clip of Barcelona's front-field counter-robbery.

"This is a Barcelona game. Judging from the body and size, Messi, Iniesta, and Xavi are not very strong defensive players. Their defensive ability is probably not as good as Yu Hanchao. Don't laugh. What I said is true. If you have time, we can play against Spain or Argentina. Gao Lin, as long as you stick your butt, they can only fall... But they never give up on defense because of their position or identity...

I here guarantee that defense is a matter of 11 people, and I will not be an exception. If the team needs it, I can retreat to the goal line all the time, but it is far from enough to rely on me alone. If there are no teammates, let alone Spain and Argentina, the second team in Vietnam can make me a mess!”

The players all laughed, and the atmosphere in the room became more relaxed and lively.

Long Shute turned off the computer:

"This is how defense is. You must keep the entire defense line intact at any time and don't lose your position easily. As for the offense, we need further drills..."

-

Long Shute did not arrange any complicated offensive routines, but instead allowed the players to play freely.

After all, these more than 30 people are not the final fixed lineup, and most of them may be crossed out in a week. In addition, this training time is too short, so there is too many tactics here... In fact, it is useless, and it will disrupt the players' training.

Anyway, the opponent in the second game...is just Thailand.

Does the Chinese team, ranked 24th in the world, need any advanced tactics when facing the Thai team ranked 143?

-

After three days of training, Long Shute led the team to the Tianjin Olympic Sports Center dozens of kilometers away.

Unlike the first game, Long Shute used another lineup in this game. Except for himself, all the eleven starting players were replaced!

He originally summoned so many people to inspect the players, and of course he had to make everyone play as much as possible.

In the two warm-up matches, except for him, there were 20 starts and 6 substitutes, and there were still 5 people who couldn't play!

-

Perhaps because they learned from the Vietnamese team's crushing defeat, the Thai team did not "underestimate the enemy" this time. They sent the strongest lineup they could choose and came to the Bohai Bay with great momentum.

90 minutes later, amid the ridicule of 60,000 Tianjin fans, they left in shame...

The score of this game is 13-0...

The Thai team, which is played in the main force, loses even worse than the Vietnamese team second!

You know... the FIFA ranking of Vietnam is only 151! It is 8 places lower than Thailand!

More importantly, their opponents are generally 30-year-old men!

-

In this game, almost all the Chinese teams used old-school internationals from 1985 years ago, Zheng Zhi, Zhao Junzhe, Sun Jihai, Cao Yang, Dewey, Li Weifeng, Qu Bo, Yang Hao, Yang Zhi, Wang Yun, Sun Xiang and many other veterans all entered the 18-man roster. Among the 11 starting players, only Long Shute is under the age of 28.

Not to mention, the lineup of these people, just looking at those names makes people feel very powerful...

So they have to be powerful.

Long Shute completed a hat trick in just 20 minutes in the first half, established a lead early, and then began to use the same trick again and lead these old guys to experiment with tactics.

Zhao Junzhe, Qu Bo, and Zheng Zhi scored goals one after another, and even defender Sun Jihai assisted another defender, Li Weifeng, to score a header. This game was a goal performance by the Chinese team bullying people from the beginning.

We often say that one-sided game will make fans lose fun, but this definitely does not include the teams they support.

If the Chinese national team can also score 13-0 in front of powerful men such as Brazil, Spain, France, England, Germany, Argentina, etc., Chinese fans will never complain that such a game is too boring.

However, this wish may never be realized...

After the 60th minute, Long Shute directly replaced three veterans at the same time. Wang Xinxin, who had been in two games, was also called on the court by him.

To be honest, this veteran of Tianjin TEDA was a little surprised because Coach Long obviously didn't like players who lacked active running like him, not to mention that his position and Coach Long also overlapped. The Chinese team, which has the world's number one midfielder, does not need a typical midfielder who only knows how to pass the ball...

Maybe it's because... I am a TEDA player?

This is the only reason he could think of.

After all, it is a game in Tianjin, and more than 90% of the fans are TEDA supporters. It is understandable that they send a TEDA legend?

But as soon as he ran to the field, he received Long Shute's tactical instructions.

"You come and play the front midfielder, I'll play the forward in front," Long Shute patted his thin midfielder, "I'll wait for your pass."

Uncle Wang was immediately excited: Although his body is not strong enough and his physical fitness is also a weakness, he is still a man from Northeast China. He bullied the Southeast Asian bottom Thai team who was not physically strong and mentally collapsed... is it more than enough?

Uncle Wang, who was full of confidence, suddenly transformed into Chinese Xavi, picking the ball, passing straight, passing diagonally, and passing through the crotch... He almost used the techniques he had learned throughout his life to guide the dragon to transport shells.

He doesn't even need to run with the ball, the only thing he needs to consider is to send the football to coach Long in the frontcourt.

As for the defense... Zheng Zhi, Zhao Xuri, Yang Hao and other peers can all share his worries and problems. He doesn't have to worry about his pass being hit by the opponent to counterattack.

Seeing the veteran working so hard, the Tianjin fans did not hesitate to applause at all. As long as Wang Xinxin gave a good pass, a burst of joyful applause sounded from the stands.

It turns out that as long as there is a midfielder who can pass the ball and a forward who can shoot, the Chinese team can still score goals:

Wang Xinxin played 30 minutes ago and completed his first assist hat trick in his national team career and even his entire career!

After Coach Long put on a hat in the first half, he went further in the second half and directly staged a big five-yuan bill!

Long Batian scored eight goals in a single game!

-

Looking at the series of his own names on the big screen, Long Shute licked his lips with some desire.

Sure enough, although his opponent is a weak man and his sense of accomplishment in scoring goals is greatly reduced, the refreshing feeling still makes him addicted.

Long Shute felt his cheerful heartbeat and couldn't help but sigh.

If possible, he really wants to be a pure striker in the national team, focusing on destroying the city and storing the village.

But such a thing is almost impossible.

That's why he has such a headache.

Long Shute, who ended the competition, thought for a long time and finally wrote a comment on the first training camp for 32-year-old Wang Xinxin:

"Continue to investigate and position: substitute front midfielder."

There are several players who wrote this comment by him, but more of them have been crossed out by him.

Not everyone can defeat time for those once famous veterans, not to mention that Chinese players have always had a tradition of changing their age. It is hard for you to speculate whether this 35-year-old veteran was 25 or 20 years ago...

This may be Long Shute's most tiring national team training camp. He took over the role of the head coach for the first time and played a full 180-minute game.

But it was not time for him to relax, because there were three more training sessions like this, and he had to work so hard every time.

Also because...his club is about to face another major battle.
Chapter completed!
