[PS: High energy warning! ] This chapter has a lot of personal opinions to share with you, and you can skip it if you don't like it. 】

At the end of the interview, the topic shifted from the national team to Atletico Madrid, and Wen Zhihao expressed his desire for the Champions League title when faced with his season goals: "If you can play the World Cup next year with the honor of Champions League champions, it will be the best result. We have that quality, Atletico are just a little bit away from winning every time, and failure is also a valuable experience. It's not a three-year-old season, it's harvest season. ”

Wen Zhihao is still relatively conservative, thinking about the triple crown, but only shouting the Champions League champion. The league title and the Copa del Rey still have a long process, and Atletico Madrid only showed their championship appearance in the Champions League, and Wen Zhihao does not want to lose his character in advance.

The next day, Wen Zhihao's interview was published on the full page of "Football Weekly", as one of the top professional football newspapers in China, "Football Weekly" has a strong point of view, especially for the in-depth analysis of football hotspots, unique in the domestic sports media, with a large number of readers. In addition to Wen Zhihao's interview, "Football Weekly" specially attached a highly opinionated and persuasive opinion article, which made the reverse of this interview even stronger.

The title of this commentary is "What is more terrible than a strong enemy is a lack of self-confidence", and the full text excerpts Wen Zhihao's views, and the wonderful discussion is deafening.

"The draw for the World Cup in Russia has just ended, and the Chinese team is in a group with clear strengths and weaknesses, and compared to Germany, Mexico and Sweden, we automatically took our seats and put ourselves in the weakest position. It is indeed in line with reality and very self-aware, but for the national team that is about to go to the World Cup, is it really good to have a pessimistic and sighing public opinion environment? ”

"The World Cup is the highest level of football, and the Chinese team can return to the stage of top football events after 16 years, which is the best indication of its strength.

"Many people think that the Chinese team will be the score-giving boy in Group F at that time, but why does Wen Zhihao think that the Chinese team can fight for a victory against Sweden, which has relatively rough skills? When it comes to the club's goals for the season, why can he be so confident to call out the Champions League winner? From Wen Zhihao's point of view, we can see what is most lacking in the temperament of Chinese players at present. Assertive! ”

"Because of the cliff-like decline of Chinese football in the past 20 years, our entire football community, from officials and coaches, to the media and fans, lacks basic confidence. Without the courage to recognize oneself, one of the most common words is learning. In the Jianlibao era, we shouted to learn from Brazil, Spain in the last ten years, learn from Germany, and in the end, after 02 years, we failed to hit the World Cup three times in a row, what did we leave behind? Nothing was learned! Instead, we lose our own characteristics. In the 90s, we could also rely on wide crosses and header bombardment, which was called the Chinese head team. Now let's take a look, can the national team still find an air tyrant like Su Maozhen, as well as a fast horse on the wing like Ma Mingyu and Yao Xia? If it weren't for Wen Zhihao's emergence and the Chinese team gradually established the basic style of ground conduction, we would still be a three-nil team now. ”

"Correctly understanding oneself is also a prerequisite for everyone to regain confidence, and the contrast between the front and back of the Chinese team's journey in the top 12 can explain many problems. Gao Hongbo defined the Chinese team as the weakest of the twelve teams from the beginning. Imagine that once such thoughts form cognitive inertia in the hearts of the players, how can they have the confidence to compete with the strong team? But what kind of conviction did Lippi instill in everyone after he took office? We are not afraid of any opponent in Asia, first of all, we broke the thinking that we are inferior in the hearts of the players, and Wen Zhihao ran tirelessly on the field, driving every player's hunger for victory, and not talking about the result, the fighting style of the national team in the late stage of the round of 12 is what every fan wants to see the most. ”

"If there is a lesson from the past, why do you want to be so overwhelmingly pessimistic about the World Cup prospects of the national team? In addition to destroying one's own morale and increasing the prestige of others, what other role does it have? In this sense, Wen Zhihao's voice at this time came just right. I'm afraid no one knows the national team better than him, since he is not pessimistic, why can't we be confident once? The national team has never lacked people who pour cold water and spit, but lack encouragement and positive energy voices who do not accept it. Even if you really can't get your wish, it's not too late to save the scolding after the World Cup! ”

……

In the midst of the declining voice, the comment of "Football Weekly" was like thunder on the ground, many media peers and Internet influencers have forwarded it, and "Football Weekly" has also published an electronic version on their official Weibo and WeChat public account, with greater circulation. Especially in the current mainstream of public opinion, "Football Weekly" uses Wen Zhihao's strong voice, with obvious intentions, that is, to guide public opinion from an optimistic position.

However, because Chinese football has rarely given everyone confidence over the years, everyone has become a little numb, and this article not only did not have the expected effect, but also attracted a lot of trolls to Wen Zhihao.

Some netizens commented on the official Weibo: "The media is really a creature that likes to sensationalize, is it meaningful to be so non-mainstream?" The Chinese team is the weakest in the group, even if you say that it is a big day, is this not a fact? ”

"I also served the media, such a serious nonsense, the editor is really level."

"Wen Zhihao is still too young, and his speech is still not steady enough. Want to win against Sweden? Others have eliminated Italy. If you can't win or lose miserably, what will you say when the time comes? I'm a fan of him, but I don't think it's a good idea. ”

Wen Zhihao continued to devote himself to daily training after the interview, and when he returned to his apartment in the evening, he unexpectedly found that there were a lot of comments on his QQ space and Weibo. Wen Zhihao looked confused, but fortunately, at this time, the editor-in-chief of "Football Weekly", that is, Liang Xin's father Liang Yuechu, made a phone call across the ocean, and Wen Zhihao slowly understood the whole ins and outs.

"Zhihao, I'm sorry, it seems to be too big this time, and I've pulled you in, do you need us to help you clarify?" Liang Yuechu asked.

Wen Zhihao smiled: "Uncle Liang, let them say, your point of view is very good, and I don't think it's wrong." Don't think about evasion, the right point of view should be carried forward. ”

On the other end of the phone, Liang Yuechu was shocked: "Now that there is a lot of scolding, do you still want to add fuel to the fire?" ”

Wen Zhihao responded humorously: "A lie is the truth a thousand times, not to mention that it is the truth itself." In fact, this is because our fans have no confidence, as long as you stand firm. Maybe then you will be the few who have the truth. ”

Liang Yuechu listened to it on the other end of the phone, and even he wondered if Wen Zhihao was overconfident sometimes.
