Fox in the Penalty Area

"Xia Xiaoyu's forward drive is really beautiful and timely! It was his forward drive that broke the balance on the field and created a murderous opportunity for the Chinese team!" Yan Kang analyzed the Chinese team's goal just now for the audience.

In his opinion, Xia Xiaoyu's sudden advance after passing the ball is the key point in this attack.

In the TV broadcast, taking advantage of a football going out of bounds, the Chinese team's goal just now is being replayed.

This time it wasn't the last shot, but it started playing after Xia Xiaoyu passed the football to Wang Guangwei, and it was almost the whole process of the goal.

"Xia Xiaoyu's sudden advance made the South African team unexpected, so when he shot from the front of the penalty area, there was no South African defender around him. Of course, the quality of his last shot was also very high! In fact, before the Chinese team During the training, some reporters observed that Xia Xiaoyu was arranged to go forward... So I think this should not be Xia Xiaoyu's own decision, but more from the deliberate arrangement of the head coach..."

Yan Kang is worthy of being a former international footballer. Only from the scoring process and some details in the training, he guessed the arrangement of the head coach Dillon.

"Although the game only started for six minutes, we can get a glimpse of Dillon's tactics in these few minutes. Obviously, unlike the Chinese team in the era of Shi Wuyin and Dong Jianhai, Dillon's Chinese team put more emphasis on control , especially in the midfield... The overall speed is not as fast as before, but the players will control the football more and pass it in the frontcourt to find opportunities. In addition, the two wings are wide open, which is also In order to create space in the middle, the ball is like this..."

Following Yan Kang's analysis, the TV broadcast gave a shot of the Chinese team's coaching bench after Xia Xiaoyu scored just now.

Jorge Dillon and his colleagues on the coaching staff high-fived each other, looking very happy.

Yan Kang can see some tactical clues, while Dillon can see more things.

This goal almost perfectly reflected his requirements for the team - widen the flanks, press up the center, press the opponent's defense line in, and create space for Xia Xiaoyu's post. There is also Zhou Zijing's fulcrum role in the frontcourt, and Hu Lai's running position to tear apart the opponent's defender...

So Dillon looked so happy, not because the Chinese team took the lead at the beginning, but because the ball fully reflected the training results.

Where the camera missed, the team leader Hong Renjie was also very happy.

He paid close attention to the team training all the way, and knew what Dillon wanted to transform the national team into.

Before, he was worried that too much training intensity would make the team perform poorly in the game.

Although the Football Association said that there is no goal, it is the "China Cup" after all. As the host, if the Chinese team ends up at the bottom, it will not be justified by public opinion...

This will also be a blow to the emerging "China Cup".

So Hong Renjie still hopes that the Chinese team can achieve good results in the China Cup—not to mention winning the championship, they must reach the finals, right?

Now seeing the Chinese team take the lead in the opening six minutes, the stone in his heart fell slightly.

Finally got off to a good start...

※※※

After Xia Xiaoyu opened the scoring for the Chinese team, the burden on all the Chinese team players seemed to disappear, making them feel suddenly lightened.

The most important thing is that they saw from this goal that the coach Dillon's set is effective.

So in the next game, the Chinese team played more confidently.

They kept running on the field, passing back and forth, tearing down the South African defense, making them care about one thing and lose another.

Although the Chinese team has just started training, they haven't done a good job with Dillon's tactical concept, and sometimes problems can be seen.

But in the face of the general situation, South Africa did not seize the opportunity to counterattack.

Amidst the deafening shouts from the Provincial Sports Center, the Chinese team launched a wave after wave of offensives towards the South African goal.

Zhou Zijing was active in it.

It is rare that he can serve as the starter in the Chinese team's game,

He seemed to want to release all the power that had been accumulated in his body before.

Although Dillon hopes that he will not continue to gain weight, it has to be said that Zhou Zijing is indeed the physical ceiling of domestic centers.

He can also not lose the wind when he is in a physical confrontation with South African players.

At the same time, he also has certain foot skills, not a stupid big man who can only play football with his body.

With him in the frontcourt, the Chinese team's offensive advancement was exceptionally smooth.

In the 33rd minute, after receiving Zhang Qinghuan's split from the side, Chen Xingyi pretended to cut in, feinted a shot, opened the angle and immediately kicked a cross.

The football made an arc and flew straight into the middle.

Zhou Zijing jumped up on the spot and hit the football before the opponent's central defender Sanel Vesour!

Although Vesul bumped into him, it caused a certain degree of interference to his header.

But Zhou Zijing's header from the penalty area line still flew into the goal!

South African goalkeeper Seri Sangre made the save this time, he went into the air but couldn't touch the ball...

"Zhou Zijing!! Beautiful——!! The Chinese team took the lead by two goals! Zhou Zijing's header is quite beautiful!!"

In the tsunami of mountains and tsunami, after scoring a goal, Zhou Zijing leaped excitedly from the billboard behind the goal, rushed to the runway area behind, and threw his fist at the fans of the Chinese team in the stands to celebrate.

This is not his first goal in the national team, but it is a goal of great significance to him.

Coach Dillon told him that he would be an important member of the Chinese team.

So the goal at this time seems to be his response to the coach's trust-I will prove that I am worthy of your trust and attention!

I, Zhou Zijing!

Will become an indispensable figure in the Chinese team!

※※※

Zhou Shenghai waved his fist vigorously in the stands, echoing his son from a distance.

The new coach started the first game after taking office and scored a goal.

Is his son's international career finally on the fast track? !

A famous coach deserves to be a famous coach, as expected, only a famous coach understands the benefits of my son!

"Congratulations, Jorge. The two people you value have played well in this game!" Translator Yu Jintao said to coach Jorge Dillon as he celebrated his goal.

Dillon laughed loudly: "They are all excellent young people! But the most important thing is to pass these two goals to prove that this Chinese team still has a lot of potential to tap, and we need to make the best use of them! Next There is still a lot of work to do!"

"Oh! Even Zhou Zijing scored, why doesn't our son score?"

Xie Lan just cheered for the Chinese team leading by two goals when Zhou Zijing scored at the very beginning. Then he calmed down quickly and focused on the goal scorer.

When the live broadcast chanted the name of the goal scorer Zhou Zijing, she just followed up with a symbolic yell, very perfunctory.

"Tsk, people see you like this and think you are dissatisfied with Zhou Zijing..." Hu Lixin reminded her.

"If you think so, just think so. I'm not Zhou Zijing's mother, so why should I care so much!" Xie Lan said very straightforwardly. "Now that the juniors have scored goals, if our son doesn't score goals, it might really make people think that the national team is about to change! New coach, new tactics, and even a new center forward, tsk tsk! "

Hu Lixin rolled his eyes violently, he couldn't make sense with this woman...

Xie Lan didn't bother to talk to her husband, and muttered in a low voice, "Come on, son!"

When Hu Lixin returned to his young players, he also heard them complaining: "Why didn't Hu Lai score a goal?"

"That's right, Zhou Zijing stole the limelight!"

"Damn it, did the head coach ask Hu Lai to play as a support?"

Hu Lixin frowned when he heard these discussions.

He can't be as knowledgeable as his wife, but he has to have a good chat with these children.

"Don't understand football games so simply!"

He said in a very serious voice to the few lucky ones who could come to watch the game.

"As a striker, Hu Lai's scoring ability is very strong. But this does not mean that he only needs to score goals in the game. As long as his presence can help the team, then his performance is very good. Do you think Hu Lai has not scored so far, so he is not good? But on the contrary, I think he can help the whole team in the team's offense, which shows that he is better than before!"

The young players didn't dare to take a breath in front of the serious Hu Lixin.

"You must always remember that football is a team sport, not a game of personal limelight! If you have the ability to help your teammates improve, then you should do it! You help your teammates, and your teammates will help you in turn! Only This way, you can really enjoy football! Instead of crying and complaining about being dragged down by ten fools after losing!"

Some of the young players lowered their heads, and others quickly said, "Coach, we realized our mistake!"

"Okay, continue watching the game!" Hu Lixin nodded and said no more.

※※※

Although Hu Lai has not scored a goal so far, it really cannot be said that he has performed poorly.

In fact, Xia Xiaoyu and Zhou Zijing's goals are all due to him.

For Xia Xiaoyu's ball, Hu Lai's sudden forward not only took away a central defender and opened up space at the front of the penalty area, but also attracted the attention of others. Xia Xiaoyu's shooting ability caught the South African team by surprise.

Before Zhou Zijing headed the ball, Hu Lai actively ran back and took away a South African defender, which relieved Zhou Zijing's defensive pressure a lot.

As the number one star of the Chinese team, as long as Hu Lai is on the court, he will naturally become the focus of everyone's attention. So in fact, even if he can't even touch the ball, he can still play a vital role in the Chinese team's offense.

So no one would think that Zhou Zijing and Xia Xiaoyu both scored goals, and the Chinese team didn't need Hu Lai to attack.

On the contrary, no matter when, Hu Lai is very important to the Chinese team.

Dillon didn't talk to Hu Lai alone before the training camp, and it wasn't that he thought Hu Lai was unimportant. It's just that there is nothing to explain to Hu Lai. He has always done well in what he should do, so what else needs to be explained?

Hu Lai is a player who can make Dillon feel at ease. Although he is young, in terms of court experience, he can be regarded as the "big brother" in China.

He knows what to do.
