Chapter 63 Botswana
If he hadn't been recruited into the National Olympic Team to participate in this training camp and the Four Nations Invitational Tournament, Han Sen might not have known what kind of country Botswana is, and even couldn't tell which continent it belongs to, let alone that in a series of warm-up invitational matches that the National Olympic team participated in some time ago, Botswana could even defeat the National Olympic Team with a score of 4-0. Botswana, officially the Republic of Botswana (English: Republic of Botswana) is a landlocked country located in southern Africa, bordered by South Africa to the south, Namibia to the west, Zimbabwe to the northeast, and Zambia to the north. The Botswana national football team, managed by the Botswana Football Association, is currently a member of the FIFA and the African Football Federation. It is worth mentioning that Botswana has not participated in the final week of any international tournament so far, and has never qualified for the qualifying stages of the Shijie Cup and Africa Cup of Nations.
The previous Duyi's offensive training was full of content, just to shame the score of 4-0 in the first game against Botswana. After a day of training before the game, Du Yi arranged a lot of games at the beginning of the training stage, and as the game approached, he also hoped to make the players as relaxed as possible. After the game, Du Yi took Chen Tao, Han Sen, Zhu Ting, Zhou Haibin, Zhao Xuri, Mao Jianqing and others to carefully practice free kicks.
After about half an hour of shooting practice, Doi adjusted the content to the tennis soccer that Milou used to use, and the players' expressions were very relaxed, and there were bursts of laughter on the field. The temperature in Shenyang reached 32 degrees Celsius today, and the morning training for the National Olympics lasted only an hour.
After training, Dui also took the lead in announcing the starting lineup for the first game against Botswana, goalkeeper No. 18 Liu Zhenli, defenders No. 14 Yuan Weiwei, No. 15 Dai Lin, and No. 5 Wan Houliang; midfielder No. 20 Mao Jianqing, No. 8 Zhou Haibin, No. 7 Zhao Xuri, No. 10 Chen Tao, No. 17 Shen Longyuan; The forwards are No. 9 Jiang Ning and No. 11 Zhu Ting.
Han Sen happened to be standing beside Wang Yiming, and when he heard Du Yi reading the list, he secretly said to Wang Yiming: "Director Wang, discuss something, can I change the number, I want the 13th." ”
Wang Yiming looked back at him: "Does it have a special meaning for you?" ”
Han Sen nodded in embarrassment.
Wang Yiming flipped through the paper in his hand: "No. 13 was given to Cai Xi, who came in for Dong Fangzhuo, you can just talk to him, I have no opinion." ”
No. 13 and No. 22 are both numbers with more leftovers, and when Cai Xi heard Han Sen say this, it was rare to be an adult, so he agreed, and Han Sen happily went to report to Wang Yiming about changing the number.
Han Sen and Cai Xi, the two little people of the National Olympic team, naturally did not attract anyone's attention, but the 352 formation of the National Olympic team attracted the attention of the media. This is the second time that China has played Botswana after the eight-nation tournament in South Africa at the end of June. A month ago, the Chinese Olympic Games not only lost 0-4 to the opponent's feet, but Jiang Chen was also expelled from the game with a red card for kicking people. In this meeting, the Chinese Olympic team is eager to take revenge at home. In this game, Dui made a revolutionary change to the starting line-up, changing from the usual 4-4-2 to 3-5-2, which was also the first time that Dui has used a back three since taking charge of the Olympic team in October last year. It is said that a total of 43,000 fans came to the scene to cheer for the national Olympic team.
When Han Sen was in the hotel, he and Cai Xi changed all the clothes that could change the number, and made a special call to Xu Yun for this matter, Xu Yun was naturally very happy, after all, Han Sen is now a national player, Xu Yun also specially asked if the game would be broadcast live, Han Sen replied that she had already asked, this game will be recorded and broadcast in real time, and it will not be broadcast in real time, and the game against North Korea will be broadcast live in the future, thinking that his parents will watch the game on the spot today, Han Sen comforted Xu Yun and said that he might not be able to play anyway.
Leaving the hotel by bus, Han Sen found that the short drive from Sheraton to Wulihe was packed with fans wearing red Chinese team uniforms one after another, this kind of grand occasion he had never seen before, after all, it was more than 40,000 people, what kind of concept is this, and the audience of less than 1,000 people in Shanghai East Asia already made him feel very shocked.
When he got off the bus, Han Sen received a treatment that was not comparable to when he first came, the security police on both sides of the bus held hands to form a human wall, blocking the crazy fans from getting close to the stars in their minds, so as to avoid danger, and every star can attract a lot of cheers when he walks off the bus, which shows how much hope and enthusiasm countless fans have placed on the Beijing Olympics next year.
It was no surprise that after Han Sen got out of the car, the shouts of "Chen Tao", "Zhao Xuri", "Mao Jianqing" and other shouts in front of him turned into speechless laughter, and all that came from his ears were questions like "Who is this" and "Where did this come from", but maybe it really responded to this sentence, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds, Han Sen clearly heard a sentence from a corner: "This is Shanghai East Asia, Xu Genbao's apprentice." ”
It's not that Han Sen is about to walk into the inner passage of the stadium, Han Sen really wants to look back and see who this master who can recognize him is.
In the locker room, the starting players have changed into their jerseys and are ready to play, while substitutes like Hansen wear their jerseys under their training clothes and enter the field with the coaching staff.
Wulihe Stadium is really the blessed land of Chinese football, more than 40,000 fans crowded the National Olympic team such a simple warm-up venue, of course, there are countless flying five-star red flags in the stands, large or small, with the deafening cheers in the stadium, suddenly Han Sen was shocked by this scene, he had watched such a grand game as a fan, but he had never participated in such a game as a player, for a moment, he even had an idea to let him play in such a game, He could even give up never playing football again and live with the memories of the game.
But as soon as this thought flashed, he himself laughed dumbly, he is already a professional player, not to mention his future career, just for the National Olympic team's Four Nations Invitational Tournament, there have been three such appearances. The pride of serving his country surged back in his heart, and he couldn't help but look back to find the place of his parents in the group of relatives and friends.
It turns out that becoming a professional player is really a beautiful thing.
