On the 1st, Zheng Zhi flew from Milan to Tokyo, and then traveled to Niigata, Honshu Island in Tokyo, where he joined the Chinese national team, and the overseas players finally arrived!

The goal of the Federation Cup?

Before the national team came to Honshu Island, it was decided to strive to qualify in the group and reach the semi-finals!

A very low-key goal.

The group stage is quite difficult. Not to mention Brazil, the probability of scoring points in Cameroon and Japan is still very high. The key is that the difficulty will suddenly increase after qualifying in the group. The second in the group will definitely meet the first group in Group A. The first in Group A is likely to be France. If it encounters France, the Chinese team will be in danger and it is basically impossible to reach the finals.

Although the Chinese team is already absolutely no1 in Asia, China is only at the second-rate level worldwide. This is the most accurate positioning.

Of course, this is an official self-awareness. In terms of media, they will not be so low-key.

Even the most professional "Sports Weekly" is trying to "help" the Chinese team qualify, and they speculated three possibilities.

The performance of the French team in Group A was shocking. In addition, the Koreans used despicable means to the French team were eventually eliminated. South Korea and Mexico qualified in the group. In this case, no matter which team the Chinese team meets, they have hope of advancing to the Federation Cup finals?

The French team in Group A finally won the second place in the group, and the Brazil team in Group B had the first place in the group, and the Chinese team naturally reached the final.

The Chinese team directly encountered the French team in the semi-finals, and the Chinese team eventually united and won the French team to advance to the finals.

Is this possible?

Of course there are.

Half a month ago, when all national teams participating in the Federation Cup expressed their intention to bring all the main players to Asia, the Chinese team may not have any chance. As the winner of the World Cup and European Cup, France certainly would not let such an accident happen. But now many main players have not come on the roster announced by the French team. Isn’t this just giving the Chinese team a chance?

Even Brazil hasn't come all the main players. If Ronaldo hadn't wanted the Federation Cup and contributed to his future Golden Ball Awards, he probably wouldn't have come. Of course, he might have changed his mind after the end of the Serie A.

Always, France and Brazil are not the main lineups, but the teams that have no chance to win the championship have sent out all the main players, such as Japan, South Korea, China, etc. Who has no dreams? Even the salted fish wants to make a comeback...

Judging from the current situation in Group B, the Japanese team must be the main players playing in the Federation Cup.

In order to prepare for the Federation Cup, the Japanese team has been training at Shizuoka Prefecture Shimizu Training Center. The Japanese team will face the Chinese team, Cameroon and Brazil teams in the group stage. Head coach Trussier repeatedly emphasized during the training session that no matter who the opponent is, they must play their own characteristics.

It is expected that the Japanese team will adopt the same formation in three games. In Group B, they are recognized as the weakest team. They should face the powerful Brazil, Cameroon and China with a steady counterattack.

Akitsuki Nishizawa and Hidesu Nakada have all returned to the team to prepare for the game. They have performed very well in the warm-up match recently. And one thing that cannot be ignored is that the Japanese team is playing at home in the group stage!

The Brazilian team, the strongest in the same group, recently had a warm-up match with Tokyo Berdi, which ranked last in the J League. In the first half, the two sides actually had offensive and defense, and the situation was stalemate. The Brazilian team won with two goals in the second half, which surprised the reporters watching the game.

This game also gave Japanese fans hope to defeat Brazil. Former Japanese international Ramos, who was born in Brazil, was shocked by the sluggish state of Brazil. "It can only score 40 points. Although the Brazilian players have very strong personal abilities, they cannot form the fighting power of the group. Japan should be able to defeat Brazil, which is a very good opportunity."

This illusion is too terrible!

In the Federation Cup, which is the preview of the 2002 World Cup, the focus of attention of what route the Japanese team will determine is because this is directly related to the Japanese team's policy of preparing for the World Cup.

Until last year, the Japanese team's route was quite clear, that is, to play offensive football. For this reason, Trussier boldly adopted a three-guard system to retain enough troops for the offense. As an East Asian team with relatively weak personal strength, using local advantages to take the initiative in offense is a shortcut to score and even win. The Japanese team advanced smoothly on this route and almost won the Asian Cup.

Yes, it's almost there.

Because they met the Chinese team, although they showed extremely outstanding technical and tactical standards, they still lost in front of the stronger Chinese team.

The Chinese team is the Asian Cup champion, which is also the reason why the Chinese team is qualified to stand here to play in the Federation Cup. If Japan is not the host, they will only be a small supporting role...

Since the beginning of this year, the situation of the Japanese team has changed even more. In mid-March, the Japanese team lost 0:5.

The Japanese team completely denied the previous team building route and chose to focus on stability...

And the strong Brazilian team?

They are in urgent need of Ronaldo's return now, and they need the best scorer in the world.

The Jingberdi Club, which they warmed up for before, is currently the worst team in the Japanese league, ranking last in points, but Brazil only won 2:0, which is embarrassing.

Brazil is a team that aims to win the championship, and it also has to step on the French team to win the championship. Why? Because of the failure in 1998, because of the 2002 vow to win the championship!

But Brazil has some internal and external troubles. Leo's Brazilian team looks like the second national team, with only Dida, Lucio, Vampetta and Anderson still embellishment.

Leo knew that if he lost another group stage, he would be unable to defend his coaching position. Although Football Association Chairman Teixeira would not remove him from his position, the domestic people who love football had long complained, and even Pele also bombarded the Brazilian Football Association in Milan. He pointed out: "We are already tired of their performance on the court... Young players have excellent performances at the Sydney Olympics. The Football Association did not use them at the beginning of the South American qualifiers, but now they are rushing to the front stage at a critical moment. It really lacks vision."

However, the Brazilian players are full of confidence. The three-time Ligue 1 scorer champion, Lyon striker Anderson, is full of confidence: "Although they are not well-known internationally, many Brazilian players have rich experience in major competitions. We are a young and strong team. The goal this time is of course the championship."

"I'm going to score goals in every game."

Did he think too much? When Ronaldo returns to the team, he will definitely have to sit on the bench to watch the water dispenser, and even Kaka and Adriano's chances seem to be greater than his...

As for another strong team, France?

Due to its excellent recent record, the French team has beaten the Brazilian team, which has been refining its capital in May, and has become the new leader in the FIFA rankings. If they can win again in the Federation Cup, the French team will conquer three events in the World Cup, European Cup and Federation Cup in an unprecedented way.

Lemayer's 4231 formation has been widely praised after several warm-up matches. In addition, French players' excellent understanding and adaptability, technical and tactical exercises have long been no longer a problem. Lemayer's main energy is all focused on the assessment of new players. Zidane, Touram, Candela, Trezeguet, Henry, and Butters are all on leave and resting, and their positions will be replaced by players with outstanding performance in the domestic league.

This season, French footballer, Nantes midfielder Carrier will take over Zidane's No. 10 jersey and undertake the organizational task. Both 22-year-old Lyon midfielder Bresche, Marseille, the core of Marseille defensive Kamara, and Nantes team's mature goalkeeper Rondero will attract the attention of many scouts. In order to achieve the triple championship of the national team, the French attach great importance to the Federation Cup, canceled the warm-up match with Italy and Belgium, and united to Japan and South Korea.

They are not just a so-called team, they are all dreams!

As for the Chinese team?

It has been ten days since Zheng Zhi returned to the team, and after he finally played the strongest card. The main lineup has basically been determined.

The media can even close their eyes to Horton to set up the starting lineup: defenders Sun Jihai, Fan Zhiyi, Li Weifeng, Wu Chengying; midfielder Li Yin, Zheng Zhi, Qu Bo, Shao Jiayi; forward Yang Chen, Qu Bo.

This is the case for the main players in the past ten days.

There is only one change in position, that is, the goalkeeper's position. Ou Chuliang competes with the young Anqi to take up the job. Sometimes it is Ou Chuliang, sometimes it is Anqi.

As for the third goalkeeper Fu Bin, he has always been a substitute.

Jiang Jun, who was temporarily fired from the national team before, is expected to be unable to return to the national team for some time.

The reason why the goalkeeper is controversial is mainly because of the disagreement of the domestic coaching staff members. Some people think that Ou Chuliang is too short and that the young Anqi is more suitable to be the starting lineup and cannot repeat the mistakes in 1997. It seems that in the eyes of some people, Ou Chuliang is still a scapegoat.

However, Ou Chuliang has been very frank about the main players recently and only focuses on training. He has watched the videotape and CD that Zheng Zhi gave him no less than ten times. On the training ground every day, he is the first one to come, and he is the one to leave the latest one.

However, since Zheng Zhi returned to the team, he has not been the first one and has become the second one.

"Oo Ge,"

"Come on, let me see your recent results."

When he saw Ou Chuliang early in the morning, Zheng Zhi was in a good mood. Unexpectedly, the second most diligent in the national team was Ou Chuliang. This inevitably reminded him of all kinds of Lin Lin in his previous life. He was the oldest at that time and was the first to come to the training ground.

The same age makes the feeling of getting along differently.

"I will let you feel the football shot from different angles and different ways of playing."

When he had a desire to train Ou Chuliang, he couldn't help but laugh. This seemed to be a very fun thing...

But for Ou Chuliang, it may not be fun.

Because the result was so tragic that in the face of Zheng Zhi's tricky shots again and again, his save success rate was too low, so low that he couldn't believe it himself.

In his opinion, Zheng Zhi's shooting in training state is a fairy ball. What's bad is that Zheng Zhi can often score various fairy balls in the game, which is hard power.

Therefore, he knew that it was hard to come by Zheng Zhi's special training now.

Are foreign players so perverted? Of course not, it is because Zheng Zhi is too perverted and his footwork is too awesome. He plays well with his instep, external instep and internal instep, not to mention his domineering elevator ball.

If you can grow up under Zheng Zhi's crazy special training, it would be fine to pick up 1,000 balls from the goal, it would not be considered a blow at all.

For a week, every morning and every afternoon, Zheng Zhi became Ou Chuliang's official shot.

One man shot wildly and the other man flew wildly in the goal, which became a unique scenery on the training ground. This is an inspirational story between two men.

"I thought Zheng Zhi was just a pervert, but I didn't expect that Ou Chuliang would also be perverted."

"I understand that Zheng Zhi practices like this. After all, he needs to maintain a world-class state, but what does Ou Chuliang have to do? Could he still be able to rejuvenate? There is no point in practicing like this."

"Brother, you will take away his position sooner or later. I am old and can stay at the third goalkeeper position with peace of mind. Anyway, as long as I enter the national team, my treatment in the club will not be bad." Fu Bin patted Anqi on the shoulder, and he was always on Anqi's side.

"I think he will be injured soon, right? Brother, you really have to start firmly."

...

...

Fortunately, not everyone thinks so, and captain Fan Zhiyi positively approves of this matter.

"Xiao Zheng can,"

"It's almost broken up Ou Chuliang."

"I've never seen Ou Chuliang so serious and so focused."

"I have been in the national team for so many years, and I have never seen anyone practice so hard. We also suffered a lot back then, but compared with them, I am really ashamed. If I don't go abroad, I really don't know how big the world is."

Standing beside him was Shens.

Shen Si didn't say anything. He had long since lost his fantasy and played football in China with peace of mind. It doesn't matter whether he understands or not what Fan Zhiyi said. Anyway, his career has passed two-thirds.

On the other side, Li Weifeng nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, if I hadn't gone abroad, I thought I was already the best in the world. After I went abroad, I realized that I was nothing..."

Li Weifeng said this, and a discomfortable look flashed on Shu Chang's face. Paralysis, you are not even a big deal, what am I? The fart among the farts?

Li Yin also spoke, "I heard that Ou Chuliang is going to Perugia. If he really goes, it will be a good thing for the national team. We have an excellent goalkeeper, so we will feel more at ease when we play the game. The test of him should be this Federation Cup."

"He has kept it well, and our results shouldn't be too bad."

"Get the Japanese sacrifice flag first! Haha, I like playing against the Japanese team the most."

The Chinese coaching staff Zhu Guanghu was also moved.

At a small meeting of the Chinese coaching team, he couldn't help but sigh:
To be continued...
