China played against Laos in the first round of the qualifying round of the World Cup Asian Qualifiers.
This is the first qualifier for the Chinese team to hit the 2014 Brazil World Cup. It can be described as a good start, just in late July. So although the opponent is not strong, Queros has still recalled all the internationals.
In this game, the Chinese team still offered a four-three-three formation. The goalkeeper was Wang Dalei, Sun Xiang, Feng Xiaoting, Zheng Zhi and Zhang Linpeng on the back line. The midfield was dragged by Zhou Haibin. Yang Yang, Gao Lin and Wu Lei.
After joining Dortmund, Chen Tao ’s position was not solid. In order to compete for more playing opportunities, he had to retreat his position. Now he looks more like a midfielder because of Klopp. I feel that he lacks speed and impact on the wing.
Quiros obviously thinks so too, especially after Wu Lei's outstanding performance in Ajax, he made a decisive adjustment, pulled Chen Tao back to the midfield, partnered with Hao Junmin, pushed Wu Lei out, and reorganized the trident .
And let Zhou Haibin play a single midfielder, which also proves Queiroz's determination in this game, that is to attack with all his strength.
The first shot of the game came from Laos, but failed to create a threat.
The away team's opening attack is obviously also hoping to disrupt the rhythm of the Chinese team, but the risk is also great, especially when the gap between the strong and weak is obvious.

Dribbling inwards, the right-footed pass to the goal, Gao Lin followed the header and scored the goal, two to zero.
In the stoppage time near the end of the first half, Zhang Linpeng crossed from the right, and Gao Lin shook his head and scored again. The Chinese team basically won the game.
After changing sides in the second half and fighting again, in the 51st minute, the Chinese team played a beautiful offensive cooperation and passed the ball to the foot of Gao Lin in the penalty area. Gao Lin knocked back and Chen Tao followed to calmly shoot and hit. Than zero.
Two minutes later, the Chinese team once again played a beautiful match on the right. Hao Junmin sent a wonderful pass. Chen Tao got rid of the defensive player and hit the bottom line. Wu Lei quickly rushed back to the bottom line. Gao Lin easily followed up and hit 5-5.
Gao Lin staged a hat trick!

A minute later, Hao Junmin made a volley on the left rib and once again broke the Lao goal, nine to zero.
In the end, with the outstanding performance of the offensive players in the frontcourt, the Chinese team defeated Laos with nine goals.
But after the game, including Yang Yang, many internationals and head coach Queiroz have repeatedly stated that their opponents are not strong, and this big victory cannot prove anything.
...
On the evening of the 28th, the second round of the competition was held in Vientiane, Laos.
Queiroz made adjustments to the team's lineup this time. After basically winning the first round, he began to arrange a large number of substitute players to play.
The goalkeeper Yan Junling, who just transferred to Ajax in the Netherlands this season, won. Wu Xi, Cui Peng, Zhang Chengdong, Zhang Xizhe, Zhao Xuri and other players all appeared in the lineup.
After several years of development, the Chinese team ’s foreign military team has become larger. Although there are precedents for Sun Xiang ’s return to China, the Chinese player Liu Yang has formed a trend. Even many players prefer to play low-level leagues abroad He is not willing to return home easily.
For example, this time, Mei Fang, who was recruited by Queros for the first time in the national team, also played with Du Wei in this game.
Mei Fang was a Strasbourg in the French Ligue 2 in 2008, and then went to the Bruges youth team for a trial training. They were all recognized, when he was only 18 years old.
Affected by Chen Tao ’s outstanding performance in Anderlecht, Bruges also received a lot of Chinese players, so Mei Fang was given the opportunity to stay in Bruges, and this central defender began his own European Study abroad.
Excellent sense of position, strong defensive ability, calm mind, fast speed, good ability to watch the game in the overall situation, and a certain long-pass ability, these are the advantages of Mei Fang.
But Bruges is a famous strong team in Belgium and a frequent visitor to the European War in Belgium. The competition in the team is extraordinary. Mei Fang is not well-known in the country. It is not easy to play well in a team like Bruges. He From 2008 to 2010, all played for the youth team.
Until the second half of last season, Bruges' first team had a defensive crisis, Mei Fang seized the opportunity, rushed into the first team in one fell swoop, and began to gain opportunities, gradually gaining a foothold, but the new season also Still facing brutal competition.
Yang Yang recognized Mei Fang when he joined the team. Although he was not familiar with Mei Fang before, he played in Europe. He naturally heard about Mei Fang and asked about his situation with concern. At that time, Mei Fang had a sentence that made him very touched.
"I still have a big gap with Bruges' first team players, but I won't give up easily. Even if there is no way to gain a foothold in Bruges, I will still continue to fight for staying in Europe to practice. "
Yang Yang affirmed Mei Fang's idea and promised to give him the help he could, and also encouraged him.
Bruges is a frequent visitor to the European War, and its overall strength is also outstanding in Belgium. Looking at European football is also a very strong team. If you can't play in such a team, it does not mean that you have no other team. opportunity.
"Competitive sports is about striving for victory. A team no matter how powerful its opponent is, it must dare to die with its opponent, and no matter how difficult the environment is, a player must be self-improving, as long as they continue to challenge and break through. Self, in the end will be able to succeed. "
Yang Yang's words encouraging Mei Fang were also unanimously recognized by the national teammates, but all the players who have stayed abroad know that Chinese players want to succeed in the European League, it can be said to be very very difficult, everyone All must make hard work that ordinary people can't imagine.
In the whole process, as long as there is a slight slack, it will be immediately thrown off.
Subsequently, the Chinese team defeated Laos 7-0 in Vientiane. Deng Zhuoxiang and Yu Hanchao both staged a double score. Mei Fang also used a corner kick to score the first national team goal in his career. .
…………
…………
The Chinese team defeated Laos with a total score of 16 to 0 in two rounds and successfully scored in the top 20. Queros ’s team showed a strong offensive firepower, especially in the second round. This is still in the absence of Yang Yang, Gao Lin, What Chen Tao and Wu Lei obtained in the case of studying abroad is a testament to Queiroz's training ability in this respect.
Domestic media also unanimously praised it, firmly believing that this time the national team will still be able to rush into the Brazil World Cup, and even have the opportunity to go further in the Brazil World Cup and show better performance.
In the subsequent draw of the top 20, the Chinese team was also lucky, drawing to Iraq, Jordan and Singapore.
The domestic public opinion was in an uproar again, the media and fans celebrated this draw, thinking that the Chinese team has basically entered the top ten in advance, and with the world's top stars like Yang Yang, it will not be a problem for the Chinese team to rush into the World Cup again Public opinion began to become overly optimistic, even arrogant.
After playing Laos, the other international players have left the national team and returned to the club to report that a warm-up match against Jamaica on August 10 will basically consist of domestic players. Only Yang Yang remains in the country and is waiting to meet Real Madrid.
After the lottery results came out, Yang Yang repeatedly told everyone not to repeat the same mistakes in an interview with domestic authoritative media.
"I think that at this stage we should not be overly optimistic. Of course, we should be confident that we have the strength to enter the World Cup, but we should not overestimate each of our opponents. We need to pay attention to every game, every opponent, Only in this way will we have the chance to enter the top ten and enter the World Cup in Brazil. "
Yang Yang also mentioned Quiros, he said that Quiros was not short in coaching time, and the transformation of the national team was also very successful. This time he played Laos, he clearly felt the changes in the national team. He firmly believed that coaching in Queros Next, the overall strength of the Chinese team can be further improved.
In addition, Yang Yang also affirmed Queros's achievements in promoting young players, because a lot of young players have emerged in this national team, and Queros also boldly reused them.
Just like Wu Lei, he is still young, but in the Brazil World Cup three years later, he should be able to enter the teams in the four major leagues and be able to provide great help to the team.
The national team coach Queros also affirmed Yang Yang's remarks, saying that everyone must have a clear understanding, and he also firmly believes that he can lead the Chinese team to the Brazil World Cup.
...
When Yang Yang played for the national team, Real Madrid returned to Europe from the United States, played a warm-up match with the Bundesliga team Hertha Berlin in Berlin, Germany, with Ibrahimovic ’s second score, 3 to 1 Reversed Hertha Berlin.
Then Real Madrid challenged the Leicester City team with the British crown. Ibrahimović made one pass and one shot to help the team beat Leicester City 2-1.
Since then, Real Madrid have played a total of five warm-up games to maintain the victory record. Ancelotti's coaching has been very smooth. Especially the scenes presented in these five warm-up games have made people see Ancelotti. The transformation of this Real Madrid.
After playing Leicester City, Real Madrid immediately opened and took a special plane to China.
