host must win

After the match against Bolton, the Manchester United team was temporarily disbanded, because the next two weeks are international match days, and the international players from various countries in the team will go to the national team to serve as kings.

Yin Jun also flew directly to China in his own Gulfstream G550 private jet.Ye Lanqiu also returned to China. She spent the past few months with Yin Jun in Manchester, and she didn't even return to China during the Chinese New Year.This is the first time she has returned to China since entering 2007.

While Yin Jun was playing with the national team, Ye Lanqiu would deal with some personal affairs, including some commercial endorsements.

After the Gulfstream G550 landed at Nanyuan Airport, the two kissed goodbye. Yin Jun drove to the national team training base, while Ye Lanqiu was picked up by her manager.

The Chinese team has two warm-up matches on this international match day. Their opponents are Australia, a powerful team that joined the AFC from Oceania Football Confederation in 2005, and Uzbekistan, a powerful Central Asian team.

Obviously, the Chinese team is preparing for the Asian Cup in the summer.

This is also the second time Yin Jun has played for the national team since the Asian Cup qualifier against Singapore in September last year.During the national team games, Ali Han did not recruit Yin Jun.

Both games will be played in the south, the game against Australia will be in Jiaozhou, while the game against Uzbekistan will be in Haojing.

It is understandable that the match against Uzbekistan is arranged in Haojing, but the match against Australia is arranged in the hot Jiaozhou. Yin Jun is a little confused. Wouldn’t it be better to arrange it in the cold northeast or the ancient capital?Even the capital where the national team is training is fine.

But it is arranged in Jiaozhou, thousands of miles away, is this to take care of Australians?The Football Association is really hospitable.

………………

Because according to the latest regulations of FIFA, the result of each international A-level warm-up match will affect the national team's points trend in the leaderboard.

After the World Cup, the Chinese team ranked in the top ten. After more than half a year, the ranking has dropped out of the top ten, and it is even about to drop out of the top twenty.Therefore, Alihan attached great importance to this game and recalled all the overseas teams headed by Yin Jun.

The warm-up match with the Chinese team was the first time Australia played against an Asian team after joining the AFC. The Australian Football Association also attached great importance to this game and sent the strongest lineup except for injured players.The Australian kangaroos also expect to use a victory to increase their FIFA points in order to surpass the Chinese team and ascend to the throne of the "boss" in Asia.

Flying a long distance of [-] kilometers from the slightly cold capital to Jiaozhou, most of the players of the national team seemed a little uncomfortable.After the opening, it seemed a bit slow. On the contrary, the visiting team Australia seemed to be more adaptable to the hot climate in Jiaozhou.

Facing the powerful offensive of the Australian team, the Chinese team rarely has the opportunity to attack the opponent's hinterland.

In the 6th minute, the Australian team counterattacked with a long pass from the backcourt. Bresciano used his speed to pass the ball on the left, breaking through Xu Yunlong's defense and forming a single goal. Facing Li Leilei's cross pass in front of the goal, the unguarded Holman easily Pushing the ball into the empty goal, Li Leilei struggled to save but was beyond his reach, and the score became 0:1.

………………

After conceding the ball so early, Alihan on the sidelines looked a bit ugly, and Yin Jun, who was wearing the captain's armband on the field, was also very unhappy.

Subsequently, Yin Jun led the Chinese team to step up their offense, but Australia simply retreated and used defensive counterattack tactics to deal with the Chinese team.

Breaking through dense defense is a worldwide problem, and a giant team like Manchester United will have a headache, let alone a Chinese team with average strength.

The Australian team's oppressive defense in the midfield made the Chinese team very uncomfortable.When the Chinese team attacked the frontcourt, except for Yin Jun, it was difficult for anyone else to hold the ball.

On the contrary, Australia's quick counterattack threatened the Chinese team's goal again and again.

Under such circumstances, when the game progressed to the 26th minute, the Chinese team's goal was declared lost again.After the Australian team sent a sideline ball from the left, they organized an attack and passed the ball into the penalty area. Du Wei stopped the ball and made a mistake. Bresciano got the ball and got a chance to face Li Leilei. , the ball rolled into the net from the left side of Li Leilei, and the score became 0:2.

When the Australians celebrated their goals wildly, the [-] home fans at Tianhe Stadium looked very confused, giving people a feeling of being completely silent.

On the court, Yin Jun called the whole team over.At this time, as the captain, he must stand up.

However, Yin Jun did not ask his teammates to launch a counterattack immediately, but asked everyone to base themselves on defense and not to lose the ball in the remaining 20 minutes of the first half.

Yin Jun knew very well that if the Chinese team continued to lose goals in the first half, it would really be crushed.

As for offense, it depends.

With Yin Jundu retreating to help defend, and Australia reducing its attack power after leading by two goals, the Chinese team finally stabilized their position and did not concede a goal in the next 20 minutes.

………………

There was a dead silence in the locker room, no one spoke.The players sat quietly, but occasionally someone would raise their head and look at Yin Jun.

Just now, Alihan raged fiercely in the locker room, scolding all the starting players, even Yin Jun couldn't avoid it.

Although Yin Jun made changes on the court after losing two goals in a row to avoid a defeat for the Chinese team, Alihan felt that Yin Jun should have discovered the team's problems earlier.

After Alihan made the adjustments for the second half, he left the locker room with a dark face.

At this time, everyone peeked at Yin Jun's reaction, but to their disappointment, Yin Jun sat in front of the closet, leaned against the closet with his head raised, and closed his eyes, so that people couldn't see his expression at this moment. mentality.

pressure?

That's for sure, and it's pretty big.

Professional football games are inherently high-pressure operations. Playing football under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of fans, those with a slightly weaker ability to withstand pressure may not even be able to stand firmly, let alone display their usual strength.

For a leading star like Yin Jun, every game is highly anticipated, and pressure has long become commonplace.

But tonight's game is obviously different from the past. Under the nightmarish performance of the Chinese team in the first half, Yin Jun, the captain of the national team, is the focus of attention.

Although they can't empathize, the players of the Chinese team can imagine that the pressure on Yin Jun at this moment will definitely be ten times, or even a hundred times, a thousand times heavier than his usual.

Can he bear it?

This is a question that no one can give an answer to. Only Yin Jun can answer it through the second half of the game.
