Chapter 322: World Cup (1)
"That is, he obviously sacrificed the results of the national team for his political purposes, this kind of person is simply hateful to him!" The other assistant coaches were also indignant, and they all saw through Jean-Marie. Le Pen's ugly face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Aimee, leave it to me, I'm an immigrant, I think I'm more convincing than you." Fan Shang took the initiative to take over the job.
"Can you?" Jacques asked.
Fan Shang nodded, "Do you think there is a better candidate than me?" Fan Shang smiled, "I'm going to complete the task now." After saying that, Fan Shang walked out of the office and walked towards the training ground.
At this time, the training had not yet begun, but some of the players had already entered the pitch one after another, started passing the ball to each other, and reversed the ball.
But at this time Vincent could see that Jean-Marie. After Le Pen's remarks, the team is now divided into two or three small groups, consciously or unconsciously.
A bunch of French natives led by Deschamps and Blanco, a bunch of African immigrants led by Desailly and Vieira, and the last handful of people Vincent observed turned out to be Bordeaux, led by Papin and Zidane.
"Well, I haven't put out the fire of the race yet, but I've got a handful in my backyard." Fan Shang thought in his heart. Then he walked to the edge of the training ground, greeted the six people above, and walked into a conference room.
After ten minutes, several team members walked out of the conference room discussing with each other, they were obviously much more excited than when they first entered the door, and then after returning to their respective small groups, they also had a brief exchange with the other teammates.
In the subsequent training, Jacques clearly felt that the players were really more motivated. Jacques was a little surprised at how it was possible for Vincent to change the player's mind in such a short period of time.
"Fan Shang, how did you do it?" Jacques said with some admiration that he has been a head coach for so many years, and he believes that the emotions of players are subtle, impossible to change in a few words, and it takes a long time to influence.
"Coercion and temptation" Fan Shang said in a deep voice, and without explaining to Yakai after speaking, he ran into the training ground to help other coaches train.
Fan Shang actually didn't say anything, it was really coercion and temptation, coercion was the players under his own hands, and it was other players who were tempted.
In fact, as soon as he entered the conference room, Fan Shang directly scolded Papin and Zidane. The veteran Papin is definitely the oldest player in the national team now, and when he was in the prime of Marseille, the current French captain was just a young player who had just moved to Marseille from a small club.
When he saw Fan Shang pointing at Papan's nose and counting him, Deschamps was in his heart, he had to call Papan his senior, this Fan Shang was really powerful before he was old.
Desailly and Vieira actually had the same idea as Deschamps, and they were both suppressed by Vincent's momentum.
Fan Shang saw that everyone else was dumbfounded, and felt that the effect was almost the same, so he began to draw cakes, saying that the benefits of winning the World Cup were out of the blue, and then slowly transitioned to the unity within the team, and finally said that unity is the premise of winning the World Cup.
Under Fan Shang's continuous brainwashing, the French team has obtained a short-term balance, so that at least there will be no major problems before the end of the World Cup journey, and the goal of the whole team is the World Cup. Of course, national honor is also part of it, haha.
This kind of concentrated training days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the opening of the World Cup. During this period, Bordeaux only made two deals, namely the sale of Duckett to Leeds United for $8 million, and the other deal was the transfer of a man named Stephen from relegated Charuto. Dalma's midfielder, who cost Bordeaux $4 million in a transfer fee.
This price is obviously a bit high, which is also the result of discussions between Theo and Vincent, they hope that Chaluto can get the money and find a few quality players in Ligue 2, and then rush back to the first division next year, which will be more beneficial to Bordeaux.
On the World Cup side, the opening ceremony actually didn't make sense for the French team, as France were placed in Group C in the group.
Their first match kicked off on the third day after the opening at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille, and on the day of the opening, the entire French squad flew to Marseille for their debut two days later.
In the opening match, last year's champions Brazil won 2-1 against Scotland, while Norway and Morocco drew 2-2 in the other match in Group A.
The second day of Group B was a warm affair, with Italy and Chile and Cameroon and Austria all drawn. And in today's game, Fan Shang's disciple appeared in the World Cup for the first time, and Song appeared in the game as Cameroon's main central defender.
With his memory, Fan Shang seems to vaguely remember that Song was sent off with a red card in the World Cup, but he doesn't remember which one. So before the game, Fan Shang deliberately called Song and asked him to pay attention to his defensive actions and try to avoid eating cards.
Song really didn't expect the club's head coach to relate to his performance in the World Cup, after hanging up the phone, Song said to his teammates, others didn't believe it, "The club coach may look at your performance in the national team, but he will never guide you!" These are the exact words of his Cameroonian team-mates.
Song was originally grateful to Fan Shang, and now he feels that Fan Shang is really the head coach who is worth his hard work.
Fan Shangke didn't know about Willy on the phone, he really just cared about his players.
On the third day, the French team finally ushered in their first game, although the opponent against South Africa was not strong, but because it was the first game, the whole team paid special attention to it.
From the confirmation of the formation to the selection of the main lineup, Jacques and the coaching staff were cautious, and Fan Shang certainly provided some suggestions.
In the end, France confirmed that the back line is dominated by Desailly and Blanco, and the attacking organization is a duo of Zidane and Djokaef, Zidane is relatively more organized, while Djokaf is similar to a nine-and-a-half position.
The match against South Africa was actually a warm-up match for France, and in the end France won 3-0 against South Africa, scoring goals by Papin, Issa (own long) and Henry.
When the match was over, Jacques breathed a sigh of relief, and it was true that he was under a lot of pressure before the World Cup. France, as the host, has not reached the finals in the previous World Cups, and this time it was expected a lot.
