Chapter 153 The Top Ten Tournament Begins

Chapter 152 The Top Ten Tournament Begins

In fact, Vicente's strength is average. He started to imitate Mourinho's tactics and was able to resist for a while, but now he was disturbed by Luo Yi, and immediately showed his paper tiger face.

After 10 minutes, Sporting Lisbon won a corner kick.

The two Vicente defenders defended Mario Jardel one by one, and the other Sporting Lisbon players were followed by a defensive player, and Luo Yi was no exception.

As soon as Pedro Barbosa took the corner kick, Luo Yi, who was standing at the front of the big penalty area, had already thrown off the defender and pierced into Vicente's small penalty area like a sharp arrow.

Luo Yi used his sense of smell in front of the goal to capture the trajectory of the football, and immediately rushed to the front point.

"High-altitude bombing!"

Luo Yi jumped up high, twisted his neck as hard as he could, and pushed the football hard into the corner of the goal.

Mario Jardel in the center jumped up with two defensive players, attracting the attention of Vicente's goalkeeper. By the time he realized that he had made a mistake in his judgment, the football had already entered the goal.

Mario Jardel pointed at Luo Yi, and said with a smile, "Rolo, you cut it halfway, or I can drive this ball in together."

Luo Yi also smiled and said, "Mario, thank you for helping me attract firepower, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get it easily."

Mario Jardel said: "Now you assist me with a goal, I will help you attract the goalkeeper once, and we are even."

Other players also ran over to celebrate with Luo Yi.

Boloni's tense nerves finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face: "It seems that the formation of troops will change in the future."

At the post-match press conference, when the reporter asked about Luo Yi, Boloni smiled and said: "I underestimated Ronaldo's ability and role in the past, and I will give Ronaldo more playing time in the future."

Boloni did what he said, and Luo Yi put on the main training vest in the next training session.

For the first time, Marius Nikulei was on the bench.

Originally Marius Nikule and Boloni were both Romanians. They were disciples who defected to Boloni. Romania’s star of hope. Marius Nikule went to the Portuguese league but misfiring.

If the team's performance is good, Boloni doesn't mind giving Marius Nikule some more time to find his status, but he only accumulated 4 points in the first four games, forcing Boloni to the edge of the cliff, and he will be dismissed from get out of class. There is also leisurely care about the life and death of the apprentice.

A dead friend is not dead, and a foreigner is not immune to interests.

Under the premise of not affecting his own interests, Boloni doesn't mind Ramarius Nikulei, but now Boloni's first priority is the team's performance. Whoever can help him win is the uncle!

The reason why Boloni rejected the head coach of the Romanian national team to serve as the head coach of Sporting Lisbon is because he has greater ambitions. Boloni wants to become the head coach of the Portuguese League champion. In the future, he will bring Sporting Lisbon to the European arena and achieve good results so that he can enter Europe The ranks of first-class marshals.

Boloni, who has calmed down, still has a level.

The most suitable lineup for Sporting Lisbon is still 4-4-3, and the most suitable position for Marius Nikule is to be Mario Jardel's substitute.

So Boloni adjusted the formation: center Mario Jardel, wingers Sa Pinto and Joao Pinto, and Luo Yi as the midfield playmaker.

However, Boloni was caught off guard by a convening order from the Chinese Football Association.

The top ten matches in the Asian region of the World Cup kicked off, and Luo Yi was recruited to participate in the top ten matches.

Boloni has mixed feelings in his heart, like a harsh old woman who finally agrees that her son can marry the poor girl next door, but the girl is going to go to university for further study.

The 2002 World Cup was jointly hosted by Japan and South Korea. As one of the hosts, Japan entered the finals directly with the last World Cup champion France. The other host, South Korea, occupied a place in the Asian finals.

The original 3.5 quotas have become 2.5 quotas, and the 0.5 quotas are basically invalid.

The ten teams are divided into two groups, five teams in each group, and a home and away double round-robin system will be implemented. The top two teams will directly enter the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. The 15th place in the regional qualifiers played a play-off to compete for another place to enter the World Cup.

According to the obvious difference in football standards between Europe and Asia, unless you win the top spot in the group, there is basically no hope of advancing.

The Huaxia team was drawn into the top ten groupings this time, and was tied with the Iranian team for the second tier team.

According to the principle that the same team is not in the same group, the Huaxia team successfully avoided the most troublesome Iranian team.

If it is said that the Korean team and the Japanese team lose more than they win, then the Iranian team, which requires physical fitness and speed, will lose.

And another difficult West Asian team, the Saudi team, was also drawn to the Iran group, which made the leaders of the Football Association smile happily.

Grouping of the Top Ten: The teams in Group A are Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Iraq, Thailand, and Iran, and the teams in Group B are the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Qatar, Oman, and China.

Although in the Shanghai Four Nations Championship in August, the disorganized Huaxia team drew with the North Korean team 2-2 in regular time, and then lost to the North Korean team on penalties.

At the press conference after the game, Milu said that this loss will not affect the confidence of the national football team, and he will not be troubled by it. Finally focus.

In the competition for the third and fourth places, the national football team defeated the Trinidad and Tobago national team 3-0 cleanly and won No.3 in the four-nation championship.

At the post-match press conference, Milu praised Du Wei, who represented the national football team for the first time in the A-level game, for his excellent performance. In the second half, the goalkeeper An Qi and the chasing youth forward Qu Bo, the two main players of the U20 national youth team, also performed well. Performance, especially Qu Bo's speed will be a sharp knife for the national football forward line, and through this game, the problem of the players' lack of concentration in the previous game has also been significantly improved. I hope to bring joy to the fans in the top ten world preliminaries .

After the four-nation championship, Shen Xiangfu led the team to fly directly to Fengtian City, while Milu and Jin Zhiyang went to West Asia and Central Asia to spy on their opponents.

Then Milu announced the 23-man roster for the top ten.

Head Coach: Bola Milutinovic
Assistant coaches: Shen Xiangfu, Jin Zhiyang, Chi Shangbin, Xu Tao

Consultant: Ma Kejian
Goalkeepers: Jiang Jin, Ou Chuliang, An Qi, Fu Bin

Defenders: Fan Zhiyi, Wu Chengying, Sun Jihai, Li Weifeng, Li Tie, Zhang Enhua, Yang Pu, Du Wei, Wei Xin, Chen Gang,
Vanguard: Ma Mingyu, Li Xiaopeng, Qi Hong, Yu Genwei, Shen Si, Li Ming, Shao Jiayi,

Forwards: Luo Yi, Yang Chen, Qu Bo, Zhang Yuning, Xie Hui, Su Maozhen.

Because Luo Yi performed very well in the world preliminaries, Milu gave Luo Yi the striker's No. [-] jersey.

Since Milu has been coaching, the national football team's performance in Wulihe Stadium in Fengtian City has been very good, so Milu and the football team negotiated and decided that the home of the top ten matches will be placed in Wulihe Stadium.

The first match between the national football team and the United Arab Emirates was at the Wulihe Stadium in Fengtian City.

Overseas players Sun Jihai, Fan Zhiyi, Xie Hui, Yang Chen have returned one after another,
Luo Yi's last report was that he returned to Fengtian City and went directly to the training base instead of going home. All the players of the national football team were in place.
