Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 389 Forget it, let's keep a low profile.

After arriving in Amman, the capital of Jordan, and resting for one night, the Chinese team began their preparations for the competition.

However, Gao Hongbo's passing strategy for his team was very simple: try every means to get the ball to Shan Yongzhuo's feet.

After the last match against Singapore, Gao Hongbo clearly realized that Shan Yongzhuo was the key to achieving good results.

The most important thing is how to pass the ball to Shan Yongzhuo, because Shan Yongzhuo will definitely face tight defense when he arrives in Asia.

When the opponent focuses a lot of their defensive efforts on Shan Yongzhuo, it becomes very important to get the ball to his feet.

The same philosophy that Shan Yongzhuo instilled in his teammates.

Send it to me if you have the chance!

"Free kicks, penalty kicks, corner kicks, you do whatever I say."

Simple, direct, and brutal.

Every teammate nodded in agreement. Regardless of their own thoughts, they certainly wouldn't openly question Shan Yongzhuo. Besides, they had already tasted the benefits of achieving good results with Shan Yongzhuo.

Within the Chinese national team, Shan Yongzhuo is actually one of the least experienced players, but he undoubtedly has more say than Gao Hongbo; his influence is simply too great.

This is the national team's nuclear weapon. As long as he's on the field, he's a huge deterrent to the opponent, greatly disrupting their defensive strategy and causing them to relax their marking on other players, thinking that they can win the game by simply holding off him.

It's not just the Chinese national team; it's the same even with Manchester City. Opponents in the Premier League and Champions League all do this; they all make detailed plans to counter him.

of course.

Most of the time, this has proven to be ineffective.

Shan Yongzhuo didn't seem to think of himself as a nuclear weapon. When he returned to the national team, he didn't act superior. Instead, he got along well with his teammates. Regardless of how things were on the field, at least off the field, he was easygoing and easy-going.

Most of the national team players get along well with him, especially the younger players. They feel that Shan Yongzhuo is not as temperamental as the older players, he is approachable, can take a joke, and can even give them a lot of pertinent advice.

For example, Huang Bowen really wants to play overseas, especially since Shan Yongzhuo is doing very well overseas and Deng Zhuoxiang is also a key player in a German second division team. This is quite a stimulus for young domestic players.

Shan Yongzhuo thought this idea was good. Only by going overseas could he have the opportunity to truly improve himself. Of course, the premise was to choose a suitable league and team so that he could actually play football.

Regarding Huang Bowen, Shan Yongzhuo also made a promise: "I will contact Kroos and have him contact you to see which teams are interested in you, or contact some clubs to let you have a trial."

This matter is quite simple for Shan Yongzhuo. In fact, if he has the ability, recruiting him into Granada would be a good idea.

Of course, whether they succeed or not ultimately depends on themselves.

Some older players also like to chat with Shan Yongzhuo. They are actually very confused about the future. What can they do after retiring?

Li Weifeng is now facing this problem. He is 34 years old, had a brief stint with Everton, and had also helped the team reach the World Cup finals. For him, his football career is basically coming to an end.

In fact, Gao Hongbo faced considerable pressure to bring Li Weifeng back to the national team as team captain during this World Cup qualifier.

Basically, Li Weifeng will retire after this qualifying tournament.

Li Weifeng is thinking about his life after retirement, but he is still quite confused.

"Xiao Dan, if it were you, what would you choose to do after retiring?" Li Weifeng asked with great interest.

After thinking for a moment, Shan Yongzhuo said, "Of course, I want to enjoy life. I'm definitely not a good coach, and I'm probably not very good at being a businessman either. So, after I've resolved some issues, I'll retire and enjoy life with the beauties, and then I can still make a living by relying on my fame. That's my goal."

"Hahahaha..." "That's my goal too!"

"Me too."

The teammates all agreed.

What Shan Yongzhuo said was true. His endurance is almost halfway there, with only half a gap left. All the goals from now on can be put into endurance. I believe that in a few seasons, he will be able to regain his manly spirit.

Should I just retire then?

After two days of relaxed training, the Chinese national football team will face Jordan at the Amman International Stadium.

Gao Hongbo still opted for his favorite 4-2-3-1 formation, with Shan Yongzhuo still leading the attack. In defense, Feng Xiaoting got a starting opportunity, after all, he signed with Granada and is now considered a player for a La Liga team.

In the three midfielders, Hao Junmin and Zheng Zhi also started. Hao Junmin performed well in the last game, scoring a goal and winning the favor of Gao Hongbo.

For the Chinese team, all they need to do is have Shan Yongzhuo at the front, while the other players focus on solid defense. As long as they can maintain a solid defense and then pass the ball to Shan Yongzhuo, that's the simplest way for the Chinese team to play.

Soon, the competition began.

As evening fell and night descended on Amman, the Chinese national football team arrived at the Amman International Stadium to prepare for their match against Jordan.

International Stadium, that's a pretty impressive name.

However, in reality, it is just a very small stadium, with a capacity of only 1.3 people, and the condition of the venue is also quite poor.

However, many Chinese fans still came to the scene, and their momentum was very strong, no less than that of the Jordanian fans.

As the national football team's performance has improved, these once-enthusiastic fans have transformed from the most loyal critics into the most loyal supporters.

Soon after the pre-match ceremony was completed, the Chinese national team kicked off the game.

"Xiao Dan, do you want a full-service package?" Zheng Zhi asked Shan Yongzhuo with a smile.

"Ahem." Shan Yongzhuo gave a wry smile. "Forget it, let's keep a low profile."

With the referee's whistle, Zheng Zhi kicked the ball to Shan Yongzhuo, who then passed it back to Huang Bowen before leisurely running up the field.

The match began uneventfully.

However, after only three minutes, the Amman International Sports Centre was in an uproar.

The Chinese commentator excitedly shouted, "Goal! Just three minutes into the game, Shan Yongzhuo has given China the lead!"

"In the third minute, Yu Hai's breakthrough and cross were cleared out of bounds by a Jordanian player."

"Shan Yongzhuo stood at the corner kick spot and once again displayed his signature move, shooting directly from the corner kick!"

"No wonder he's the world's number one soccer player!"

"The Jordanian goalkeeper had no chance against Shan Yongzhuo's near corner kick. Shan Yongzhuo scored with just three minutes and his second touch of the ball throughout the match!"

"This start is extremely favorable for the Chinese team!"
