The senior management of the Football Association personally did the ideological work, and reached an agreement with Alihan, and the selection of Lu Hai was very smooth, and the players who were not selected also expressed their understanding and support.

Lu Hai brought all the players to the conference room, and when the players sat down, Lu Hai began tactical analysis based on the video: "The Japanese have been trained to be disciplined, obedient, and obedient to the team since childhood, but people who are too disciplined, obedient, and obedient will lose their creativity and independent thinking. The Japanese players have very good fundamentals and delicate skills, and they are probably better than everyone in this room. However, due to the lack of creativity and independent thinking, Japanese players are very dependent on teams, and of course, the strength of the Japanese team that makes up the team is deservedly the best in Asia. Therefore, the Japanese team places special emphasis on stability and does not change players easily, because changing players means being unfamiliar, which means that the team is not tacit enough, which means that there are more mistakes. It can be seen that before the semi-finals of this Asian Cup, the Japanese team only used one lineup, with 11 players to beat the world. But now they have to change players, Endo Hohito and Sandu are suspended, so their midfield cooperation will not be so tacit.

So, how do we take advantage of this? We're here to amplify their teamwork problems. All of you here are in the best physical and physical condition in the national team, and I ask you to do everything you can to mark and defend from the start, separating the Japanese team and not letting them cooperate. Let's use a little bit more to make the little devil's skills half useless. ”

Lu Hai turned his head and asked Yan Shiduo, who was listening next to him: "Chairman Yan, before the No. 7 game, can the lawn of the Gongti be watered a little more, turn it into a vegetable field and muddy ground, and let the players wear spikes in the first half." ”

The players below burst into laughter, and Yan Shiduo also nodded with a smile on his face.

Lu Hai looked at Zhang Yaokun and said: "Brother Zhang, in the first half, your task was to entangle Shunsuke Nakamura, and if you don't have the ball, you will also entangle him, he has injuries in both ankles and knee joints in his right leg." You have to squeeze him from the right side from beginning to end, force him to catch the ball with his left foot, support him with his right foot, don't use brute force when squeezing, have a rhythm change, and help him move his right leg knee and ankle joint. ”

Nodding, Lu Hai thought for a while, "You only have half time, you use all your physical strength in the first half, and we have to make substitutions at halftime." As long as Shunsuke Nakamura is taken off and you haven't been sent off yet, you will be the first to play this game. As long as Shunsuke Nakamura is gone, Japan's ability to organize an offensive will be completely emasculated. ”

Lu Hai turned his head to Zhao Junzhe and said, "Brother Zhao, as long as Shunsuke Nakamura takes the ball, you can also go up to help, don't break the ball, let the ball stop at his feet more, and give Brother Zhang more time." ”

Lu Hai explained clearly what each starter was going to do when defending in the first half, explained every detail to the players, and saw that the players understood, and then explained to the next player.

"That's the way the defense was in the first half, the attack in the first half and how to play in the second half, I ask the head coach Alihan to talk about it."

Alihan came to power, "In this game, you forget about my full offense and defense, we follow the British play, we have Zhang Yi, and we have the capital of long passing......"

After Alihan finished speaking, Lu Hai walked up again, "What are we going to do in this game, why are we doing this, do you understand?" ”

Lu Hai saw that the team members all nodded, "Okay, I'm going to ask questions one by one." Zhang Yi, tell me what Jinyu's mission is? Why was he given this task? ”

Zhang Yi stopped as soon as he said half a sentence: "My mission is... Wait, how is it Li Jinyu's mission? ”

"Nonsense, that's your partner, you don't know what he's going to do, how do you work with him? Not only do you have to know Li Jinyu's task and why he was given this task, but you also have to know the tasks of several people in the midfield, and the reasons for giving them such a task. This is just the beginning, we have to discuss it in every game in the future, even the defender, the goalkeeper. ”

Lu Hai looked at the time on his phone, "Give you half an hour, and come up one by one to talk about your tasks, so that everyone can remember them." Zhang Yi, you come first. ”

After the players who were about to play finished their tasks, Lu Hai walked up again, "Do you understand?" ”

"Got it!"

"Remember?"

"Remember!"

"Okay, just remember, now everyone thinks about what is unreasonable about the task that Alihan and I gave me just now, no matter whose task it is, if there is anything unreasonable, just say it. Coach Alihan has been in Europe before, and he may not know about the situation of our Asian football and Chinese football, I have never played football, let alone understand it, it is normal to have something unreasonable, you have to point it out, let's discuss it together. ”

Lu Hai looked at the players who were a little blindfolded below and continued: "No matter how rich Alihan's experience is, no matter how high my IQ is, there must be something that I can't consider, it is you who want to play on the field, and you know best what you actually feel on the court, so your suggestions are very important." What do you say, we are all for the Chinese national team, don't worry that I will retaliate, I have always been right about things and not people. ”

Lu Hai paused, "Every player has to say, Zhang Yi, or you say it first." ”

"Lu Hai, you little rabbit cub, you are not soft at all when you are cooked, isn't it just because I am familiar with you!" Zhang Yi complained in his heart, and walked up again, "Haizi, play the video of the guard called Miyamoto or something for me again." ”

From noon to 9 p.m., the whole team participated in the discussion, and dinner was brought from the cafeteria to the conference room. At first, everyone was not very comfortable with this kind of preparation meeting, but later on, the atmosphere became enthusiastic, everyone said their understanding of the game, and with the participation of everyone, the tactics were fine-tuned. The characteristics of each player in the Japanese team and how to deal with them have also been repeatedly discussed. If the players have disputes, they will discuss them with Alihan and Lu Hai.

When the meeting ended, the whole team was full of confidence, they had never felt like this before, they had a clear picture of what would happen in the next game, and they knew exactly how to deal with it.

At the end of the meeting, Lu Hai walked to the front again, "Is everyone clear now?" ”

"Clear!"

"Okay, I have a little more question. If you have any trouble outside the stadium, or something that makes you feel uncomfortable, you can let everyone know, now come up and talk about it, and everyone will help you think of a way; If you feel embarrassed to let everyone know, you can talk to me after the meeting, and I promise not to spread it. ”

It was another two hours, and after two hours, everyone's faces were no longer solemn, and everyone seemed relaxed. Moreover, pouring out their mental garbage to each other and giving each other ideas, the players became closer than ever.

Alihan grabbed Lu Hai, "Lu, I still have to say, you are a genius, if you want to be the head coach, you must be the best." Oh, my God! If the Netherlands had your help, we would have won the World Cup. I've never seen a team that knows the opponent so well, I've never seen a team that is so united and has such a good atmosphere, and with your help, I think we can all try it out in the last 8 of the World Cup. ”

Yan Shiduo also smiled and patted Lu Hai's shoulder, "Xiao Lu is good, *** ideological learning is good, democratic centralization is really good, and your ideological work is very high." This method of yours will have to be promoted in the national football team in the future. ”

In fact, for Lu Hai, it is not so difficult to clean up the current Japanese team, but Lu Hai thought of the darkest decade of Chinese football in the future, and Lu Hai couldn't help but be angry with this Japanese team.

Moreover, the current Chinese team is not professional enough, and the habits of pre-game preparation are not very good and very rough. In fact, including the work of players in developed European football countries, Lu Hai feels that there is a problem. In the games of the five major leagues, there are often some players playing brainless football, and any coach will not arrange brainless football, either the player coach has contradictions, or the players do not really understand the coach's intentions, which is the player's work before the game is not in place. The reason for this situation is actually the head coach, many managers are afraid that not being able to answer the players' questions will damage their prestige, and the coaches who are confident to answer all the questions of the players are very conceited people, all of whom think that "I am the best, I am the most authoritative, you just listen to me." "You can do whatever I say, why do you ask so much?"

In the club, the players and coaches are professional, how the whole team plays, what tactics to use is the coach's business, except for the players who are preparing to retire to coaching and the absolute core of the team, the rest of the players ask such things is offensive to the coach's field.

In Europe, good club teams play more than 60 games a year, good players also have national team games, and such discussions delay training and rest, and if any coach wants to do this, there must be many players who oppose it.

Lu Hai wants the national team to establish such a habit of pre-match discussion. Lu Hai knows that China's football foundation is not good, the selection of players is narrow, and the technical and tactical level is not high, but we can learn from the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army, fully discuss before each war, and after the war, the whole army participates in summing up the gains and losses, concentrates everyone's wisdom, and unifies thinking; the Communist Party of China has only spent more than 20 years casting a semi-feudal army into the strongest light infantry in the history of the world - the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. We make a little progress every game, and develop such a habit, that is, there is no land and sea, and when the foundation of Chinese football is solid, and the league pays more attention, we can quickly achieve dazzling results.

Lu Hai knew that for the last part of the discussion, ideological work, in the current environment, it was difficult for anyone but himself to do it. Because for a player, this position requires someone who has qualifications, understands football, is fair and strict, has no moral flaws, and can understand the player and the player are together. Such a person will make the players respect him, trust him, and be willing to communicate with him. It's hard to find someone for a coach who doesn't get in the way of his job and helps him coordinate the relationship between players and managers. Lu Hai also got along with the players for more than a month, relying on his excellent medical skills, attitude and understanding of the players who treat them equally, and tolerance to gradually gain the trust of the players, so that today's ideological work results have such good results.
