Preparing for Bulgaria U22, Horton adjusted the main lineup. In the past two days, Li Weifeng, who gave the South Korean team a penalty kick in the last game, was still in the main lineup, while Shu Chang replaced Zhang Ran and became another central defender.

This shows that Holden trusted Li Weifeng quite well, but was not satisfied with Zhang Ran.

In the midfield, the young Xu Yunlong was also replaced. It was a bit surprising that Zhao Junzhe actually became the main right vanguard, while the left vanguard was still Huang Yong. The two partners in the middle were Li Yin and Zheng Zhi.

This is another new attempt. Horton does not want to waste any of Zhao Junzhe and Li Yin...

But no matter who you are on, the core is still Zheng Zhi.

On the front line, Zhang Yuming's partner was replaced by Wang Peng because Li Jinyu went to France...

Compared with the Korean Olympic Games, Bulgaria is even more unfamiliar with almost no information to check. Horton's tactics seem to be more conservative, and Zhao Junzhe's offensive ability is actually not outstanding. He basically appears as a defensive avant-garde.

If Zheng Zhi had not emerged, Zhaojun Philosopher should have obtained a midfield position in the middle, but he can only be squeezed into the right forward now.

However, Zhao Junzhe's mood was not affected. On the morning of the competition, he also brought Zheng Zhi a surprise. When Zheng Zhi woke up, he found that there was a gift with very exquisite packaging on the head of his bed.

Zheng Zhi opened it and saw a silver watch inside, and a birthday card.

Happy birthday with four big words on the greeting card!

There is a line of small words below. Congratulations. You have become an 18-year-old man and can finally find a wife...

8.20.

If it weren't for Zhao Junzhe's gift, Zheng Zhi would have forgotten that today was his birthday.

It can be seen that Zhao Junzhe is very attentive...

Zheng Zhi smiled knowingly, his heart full of warmth. It was really a blessing to have such a brother by his side. Although everyone spent not much time together and rarely contacted each other in the days that followed, this friendship has never changed.

...

At 4 pm, there are still very few people coming to watch the game. This kind of game does not attract many fans to watch. Sometimes there may be more scouts than fans...

There were really a few foreigners coming today. They were communicating in English on the sidelines. They were just here to examine Sun Jihai's condition. Now Sun Jihai has confirmed to transfer to Crystal Palace, and he will also fly directly to London after the game.

"Sun today?"

"Yes,"

"He's right-back."

"oh……"

※※※※

"Videos, fans, welcome to watch the wonderful live broadcast brought to you by ccbv5. I am Liu Jianhong. Today, Huang Jianxiang and I will explain this game together to everyone..."

"On the Bulgarian side, all 11 people who appeared were xx husbands, xxxx husbands, xxxx husbands."

"The Slavic men have the names of the names of the men, "Sky", "Qi", and "Female" and the women are usually "children"..."

"The average height of these 'husbands' has reached 1.85m. Today, the Chinese team's high-altitude defense pressure is a bit too high."

At this time, Huang Jianxiang interrupted: "Height is only one aspect, but Bulgarian football style has never been raised and played high, but the footwork is quite delicate. Just look at their first game against Malaysia. All 8 goals, 6 were completed through ground attacks, and only two were headers."

"Today, Horton made some adjustments to the lineup. Zhao Junzhe, Wang Peng and Shu Chang all entered the game. Maybe it was because of some defensive issues, but I think it was because Bulgaria is too tall that we can take advantage of this. Because we have the best passer Zheng Zhi. The Bulgarian defender moves slowly, which will give Zheng Zhi more room to play."

Huang Jianxiang’s comments are obviously much deeper than Liu Jianhong…

Beep

The competition begins.

Huang Jianxiang was right. Although Bulgaria is tall and powerful, they just play technical skills and are disdainful to hold high and play. The continuous ground cooperation quickly pushed the ball to the backcourt of the Chinese team.

However, the Chinese team's four midfielders' parallel position still protected the penalty area well. It was not easy for Bulgaria to easily tear the defense line, but they were obviously very patient and kept transferring the ball quickly, trying to open the Chinese team's defense. In the third minute, their No. 10 tried to use a straight pass ball to break through the Chinese team's middle lane, but Li Weifeng predicted the ball, cut off the ball with a question, and handed the ball to Li Yin.

This time, Li Yin did not directly kick the ball, but distributed the ball to Zhao Junzhe on the right.

Huang Jianxiang immediately exclaimed, "This is not like Li Yin, he is too calm."

“There is progress.”

At this time, Zheng Zhi stepped forward and received Zhao Junzhe's cross ball.

Swhoosh, two Bulgaria's midfielders immediately blocked them and tried to cut off the contact between Zheng Zhi and Zhang Yuming and others, but Zheng Zhi was not in a hurry and immediately passed the ball back to Li Yin, Li Yin was distributed to Huang Yong on the left, and Zheng Zhi ran to pick him up again.

"I feel that Zheng Zhi plays very easily, he is just familiar with the style of a general. Usually, our players have one problem, that is, as soon as the opponent grabs, we get messed up and don't know how to pass the ball. But now it's different. The whole team gives me the feeling that it's quite calm and has a lot of ideas."

"Bulgaria has met its opponent."

"This may be the place where the first game is improved. Horton regards Zheng Zhi as the core of the midfield, and Zheng Zhi improves the overall strength of the team, and the effect is immediate. Seeing such a national Olympic football player, I feel much more comfortable."

The two sides were in a stalemate for more than ten minutes, and no one could do anything to each other and could not suppress their opponents.

But the National Olympic players on the court were deeply touched, and Li Yin was one of them. This seemed to be the most relaxed game he played. Although he was still running hard on the court, he was not panicked or blind, and he always felt very down-to-earth.

This was something I couldn't do when I was partnering with other teammates in the past, but now I feel very different when I stand beside Zheng Zhi...

The players on Bulgaria couldn't hold back at first, and they began to press forward in formation, trying to suppress the Chinese team within halftime.

The danger occurred at this time. In the 19th minute, Bulgaria was intercepted by Li Yin in the middle, and Li Yin handed the ball to Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi's shot speed was too fast. He didn't give Bulgaria time to set up defense, so he directly stuffed the ball to Zhang Yuming's feet. Zhang Yuming tried to speed up and asked the Bulgarian defender, but he was still knocked down in the middle of the penalty area. The Chinese team got a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

“Setting ball,”

"This position is very good. It's about 25 meters away from the goal in the middle of the penalty area. Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaorui is not there, so he is the most suitable person to take the penalty. Now it seems that it's Zheng Zhi or Zhao Junzhe, both of them are standing in front of the ball."

"Zheng Zhi doesn't know much, but Zhao Junzhe's left and right feet are very balanced."

※※※※

"I'll make a fuss, will you follow up and shoot?"

The two kids were communicating with their mouths, and Zhao Junzhe suggested.

"Okay," Zheng Zhi nodded, but his eyes kept falling in front of the goal.

Beep

Zhao Junzhe rushed up first on the right, but did not play football on his left foot, but jumped away.

Zheng Zhi followed closely, pulled his right foot on the ball, and leaned his body to the left and swayed very strongly.

Bang,

A powerful arc instantly crossed the wall and swung toward the upper left corner of the goal!

"ah!"

"What?"

In an instant, I was full of surprise.

"The ball has entered!"

"The ball has entered!"

"The ball has entered!"

"pretty!"

"pretty!"
Chapter completed!
