Chapter 261 Two warm-up matches

Chapter 261 Three warm-up matches

Chapter 1 Three warm-up matches

After three days of training, the Chinese team ushered in their first opponent in this series of "World Cup Warm-up Matches" - Macedonia in Shenyang.

"World Cup warm-up match" is the name given by the Chinese media. Of course, this does not mean "a warm-up match to prepare for the World Cup", but because it is now during the World Cup. The Chinese team that failed to participate in the World Cup is playing a warm-up match during this period. , which was dubbed the "World Cup Warm-up Match" by the media, which was more or less ridiculed and self-deprecating.

Where is Macedonia?

Well, welcome to the program "The National Football Team Takes Me to Learn World Geography".

Macedonia is located in the Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe. It became independent from Yugoslavia in 1993. It has a population of only 200 million people. It is an Eastern European country that believes in the Orthodox Church and is adjacent to Greece, Bulgaria, and Albania.

Such a small and not rich country located in the so-called "Balkan powder keg" region, of course, it is difficult to expect to participate in the World Cup.So they can only come to China to play a warm-up match with the Chinese team during the World Cup.

so pathetic

Of course, the captain of the national football team feels how pitiful it is for him to travel thousands of miles to play a game in China.When Li Qingshan put on the captain's armband and stood in front of the referee, to be honest, he was not very familiar with these procedures.

Fortunately, I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs running, and the side selection ceremony before the game was successfully completed.

Lippi sent all the main players in this game. This was Li Qingshan's first national team game, and it felt different from the club game.

So, when he headed the ball in from a corner in the second minute, he ran to the corner flag and jumped, doing a lean-to-glide celebration.

"Hahaha, Li Qingshan, who scored the first goal of his national team, looked quite excited. He scored a header from the Macedonian defender in the second minute of the game, and the opponent couldn't pose much threat to him at all. "The narrator also sounded quite relaxed.

This is indeed the case. Compared with the defensive pressure Li Qingshan received in La Liga and the Champions League, the current defensive pressure is too easy for Li Qingshan.

The Macedonian team is not a strong team, they seem to be much weaker than the Chinese team.

Li Qingshan, who didn't feel much pressure, came soon with his second goal. In the No.12 minute, he turned and volleyed after receiving a pass from his teammate in the arc of the penalty area, and the football hit the net, [-]-[-]!

Only 2 minutes after this goal, Li Qingshan scored a goal. After receiving a cross from the wing in the middle, he volleyed and blasted the ball into the opponent's goal.

Less than 15 minutes into the game, Li Qingshan performed a hat-trick.This feature of his is simply a bug. When the opponent does not have a corresponding point that can pose a threat to Li Qingshan on the high-altitude ball, it will be very difficult to defend.Of course, when the opponent has a way to limit Li Qingshan's header, Li Qingshan doesn't have many ways.

After three to zero, Li Qingshan began to seek more cooperation and passing with his teammates. He also hoped to establish a tacit understanding with his teammates of the national team as soon as possible.

Towards the end of the first half, the Chinese team scored again. Li Qingshan nodded the ball from behind and ferried it to the middle, and the forward midfielder Huang Bowen scored the goal.

Four to zero!

At the beginning of the second half, Lippi made a large-scale substitution. This kind of warm-up friendly match does not limit the number of substitutions, so Lippi directly made up to nine substitutions, except for goalkeeper Zeng Cheng and Li Qingshan. Besides, all other players are replaced!

The pace of the game slowed down slightly in the second half, but the Chinese team still scored two goals. First, in the No. 60 minute, the Chinese team passed a free kick from the left side of the front court, and Li Qingshan scored with a head shake. Then in the No.708 minute, the Chinese team played a quick counterattack. Zeng Cheng threw the ball directly to launch a fast break. Li Qingshan sent the header to Wu Lei, a young player who advanced at high speed, and Wu Lei scored a single-handed goal.

At the end of the game, the score was fixed at six to zero.

It was a good friendly match, and after this game, the friendship is probably over.

Although Macedonia is weak, the Chinese team managed to win a hearty victory. The fans still feel very happy, especially after Li Qingshan joined, he won a senior in his first game on behalf of the Chinese team Congratulations, the debut of the national team is quite perfect, and the problem of the Chinese team's lack of goal scoring that has been criticized for many years seems to have been resolved.All this gave the fans countless hopes.

Isn't that what fans do?Disappointed again and again, even desperate, but I can always find some hope to comfort myself

Four days later, the opponent of the Chinese team's second warm-up match was still Macedonia, but the venue was changed to Jinan.

This time the Chinese team once again defeated Macedonia with a score of [-]-[-], and Li Qingshan scored twice.

After the game, Lippi shook his head and complained to his assistant coach Madaloni.

"The quality of such a warm-up match is too low."

Madaloni also nodded and agreed: "The opponent is too weak, and the warm-up effect is not very good. Fortunately, Li integrated into the team very quickly."

The opponents of this series of warm-up matches were selected by Lippi before he took office, so Lippi can't do anything about it.

It seems that in the future, even choosing an opponent for the warm-up match will need to be done by myself.

Lippi got a headache, the incompetence of a certain association did not dare to trust them too much

A few days later, the Chinese team flew to Shenzhen again. Their warm-up match opponent in Shenzhen was the Mali team.

Mali is a landlocked country located in West Africa. Judging from the international rankings, Mali's strength is much higher than that of the Chinese team—of course, without Li Qingshan.

It's just that Lippi did not send Li Qingshan to start this game. He mainly wanted to see the defense of the Chinese team.

The Mali team is a typical West African team with a very strong desire to attack and a very unrestrained style of play.

Sure enough, in the absence of Li Qingshan, a big center in the frontcourt, the Chinese team quickly fell into a disadvantage.In the first half No. 203 minutes and 38 minutes the Mali team scored a goal respectively. At the end of the first half, the Chinese team fell behind [-]-[-].

Lippi frowned on the sidelines, the team's defensive problems are still quite prominent.

At the beginning of the second half, the Mali team scored another goal, leading the Chinese team [-]-[-].

At this time, the mentality of the Chinese players on the court began to be turbulent. This is also an old problem of the Chinese team. When the situation is unfavorable, the players' ability to withstand pressure is too poor.

Lippi shook his head. It seems that there is a long way to go to improve the defense of the Chinese team.

He quickly made a substitution. Li Qingshan and eight other players came on the field, almost replacing all the starting players. This also showed that Lippi was very dissatisfied with the team's performance.

After Li Qingshan came on the field, his suppression of the Mali defender quickly took effect, and he scored a goal in just 3 minutes.

Then the Chinese team also began to attack aggressively.The defense is not good, but the Chinese team with Li Qingshan played quite well in offense.

In the end, Li Qingshan scored another goal and assisted his teammates to score a goal to equalize the score.

In this series of warm-up matches, the Chinese team won two and drew one. The record is reasonable, at least it did not cause large-scale abuse.
