An Rong gave the whole team a day off and did not have any training content. The players played 120 minutes of the game and were very tired, and An Rong also hoped that everyone could take a good rest and meet the semi-finals in the best condition.

Zhang Shujie woke up and found that Li Mu had long disappeared, and he didn't know where he had gone. He looked at the time, and it was almost half past nine, the latest he had ever gotten up since he arrived in Russia.

There are several messages on the mobile phone, one of which is Wang Shihan's: "Are you training today?" Zhang Shujie quickly replied: "Don't train, take a day off today." ”

Thinking of the two-hour phone call with Wang Shihan last night, Zhang Shujie felt Wang Shihan's excitement on the phone. Since An Rong did not allow the players' families to visit during the World Cup, Zhang Shujie and Wang Shihan could only rely on mobile phones to contact their feelings. If it were in the past, Zhang Shujie would definitely not be able to stand such a long period of abstinence, but now that there are so many games, all his energy has been released into the game.

Zhang Shujie got up from the bed, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and changed his clothes. After taking care of it, I picked up my phone and looked at it, Wang Shihan's message came: "Then you have a good rest, I'll go out with Zhou Ying and them to buy something." ”

Zhang Shujie smiled knowingly: "Go ahead, pay attention to safety." ”

Wang Shihan: "Don't worry, we will." ”

Zhang Shuzhuo went out of the room, and when he passed by the gym, he found that there were still a few people inside, and he went in to see that the people who were exercising inside were all substitute players, and the main players were not there. Liao Dongyuan, Li Yongxuan, Yuan Chengye and others were all sweating profusely.

Unlike the main players, they didn't get too many opportunities to play, and their physical reserves were relatively sufficient. Therefore, when An Rong was resting the whole team today, these substitute players seized the time to train more, just to get more opportunities to play in the future.

Zhang Shujie won't join in, not because he's lazy, but because he really needs to rest and conserve his physical strength. He walked to the cafeteria, where there were not many people, and he estimated that the players were either going to play billiards or video games. He saw Liang Xiran sitting alone in the corner, so he walked over, pulled out the chair next to him and sat down.

"What are you doing?" said Zhang Shujie with a smile. By the way, I asked for something to eat.

Liang Xiran said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's boring to sit here." ”

Zhang Shujiewen asked, "You seem to have something on your mind?"

"Nope. Liang Xiran smiled and shook his head.

"There must be. Zhang Shujie said: "Are you feeling depressed about not being able to play in the semifinals?"

When Liang Xiran heard this, he glanced at Zhang Shujie, didn't speak, just sighed.

Zhang Shujie knew that he had guessed correctly, and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely win with all our strength and let you appear in the finals." Speaking of this, Zhang Shujie smiled.

Liang Xiran said: "Of course I believe in you, but I can't play, I always feel ...... I don't feel very comfortable. After a pause, he added, "Red card...... In fact, as defenders, we will inevitably get a few red cards in our career, I have been sent off twice in the Premier League for four years, once in the league and once in the Champions League, two yellows and one red. However, I have never been so disappointed. ”

Liang Xiran's mood Zhang Shujie understands, although he has never received a red card, but this feeling can be guessed without experiencing it personally.

At this time, Zhang Shujie's order came up, and he comforted Liang Xiran while eating: "Don't think too much, just treat it as a rotation to recuperate." ”

Liang Xiran nodded and sighed again.

Yan Tao came out of nowhere and walked to the table of the two and sat down. Zhang Shujie asked him, "Where did you go?"

"I just came back from outside and met a lot of journalists, and everyone was asking me who my semi-final partner would be. How do I know this? That's what Ann arranged. ”

Zhang Shujie nodded lightly, and Liang Xiran suddenly asked: "By the way, how will An Zhi adjust the back line? Li Yongxuan? Or move Tang Ling to the middle?"

Zhang Shujie shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know very well, I think, maybe I can see some clues when I train tomorrow." ”

An Rong's room, he was discussing this issue with Song Weifeng. In the semi-final game, who stood in the position of central defender with Yan Tao. This is not a trivial matter, the defensive task of the central defender is the largest, and it is also the least tolerant of errors, and it must be stable and not sloppy.

"If Tang Ling is placed in the middle and Yuan Chengye is on the right side, then the attack on the right side of the Chinese team will inevitably be greatly reduced; if Tang Ling does not move on the right side, and Li Yongxuan partners Yan Tao, then there will be hidden dangers in the defense line in the middle of the Chinese team. Song Weifeng was analyzing the pros and cons of these two plans to An Rong.

An Rong said: "The original main lineup of our team is a very rigorous and complete structure, and without any of them, the team's attack and defense will be affected, so no matter which method I use now, there will always be some imperfections." It's either offensive, it's defensive. Saying that, An Rong looked at Song Weifeng and said, "We have to make a trade-off here." ”

Song Weifeng said: "Otherwise, let's stabilize our defense, you must know that we are facing Argentina with Messi." We have also watched the video of Argentina's game, Messi plays in the middle most of the time, which means that we have to discharge the strongest central defender partner when Liang Xiran can't play. ”

An Rong nodded and said, "You think the same as me." At present, this Argentina team is strong and powerful because of Messi, we have to find a way to stop him, maybe 'Yan Tao + Tang Ling' is a good choice. As for the right side, leave it to Yuan Chengye. ”

"So, that's it?"

"For the time being, I will customize two sets of defensive plans in the past two days, 'Huang Yu, Yan Tao, Tang Ling, Yuan Chengye' is the first set, and 'Huang Yu, Yan Tao, Li Yongxuan, Tang Ling' is the second set. No matter which set of sets, there will always be some flaws, and it will give the opponent something to use, but we have these personnel, and the whole world knows that there is a big gap between our substitutes and the main team. ”

"Definitely. We do have a bit of bench depth and that's the most obvious difference between us and the other three teams. Hey, eight or nine years ago, there was a blowout of Chinese football talents, and a large number of outstanding players emerged, but in recent years, only one Xu Zhixin has emerged. The range is a little bigger, probably Lin Li is also one. ”

An Rong didn't answer, he also wondered why a lot of talents appeared in Chinese football in the first decade or so, but in recent years, talents have begun to break down, and the new force is obviously insufficient. Take a look at the members of the national team, there are almost no changes compared to the last session, especially the main lineup, only Xiao Feng has been replaced by Xu Zhixin, and the others are completely unchanged.

But An Rong doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing, what he wants most is to lead the team through the semi-finals first.
