141 pre-game
The interval between the Jiangxia International Youth Invitational Tournament and the Chubei Youth Championship is only half a month, and the media is still discussing the level of Chubei youth football and the significance of Chinese football.
Because people are appreciating the level of Chubei's youth competition, they generally have a question in their hearts, that is, what position can the youth team that seems to have a high level in the world? Can you carry their hopes? Will it even be a flash in the pan, and the old story of Chinese football will once again go from hope to disappointment?
The Jiangxia International Youth Championship came at the right time, inviting the youth echelon of well-known clubs in Europe and South America, which can just verify everyone's doubts.
Although there are some worries about whether another sweet dream will turn into a nightmare, attention is always indispensable.
Around the upcoming invitational tournament, many media outlets have started various interviews with the audience's eyeballs. Among them, the sports channel of Jiangxia TV station naturally has the convenience of being close to the water, and the introduction and interview of the club and the two teams that are about to participate are very detailed.
With the introduction of the Jinyuhu Training Center and 15 training camps throughout Chubei, people have a feeling of 'no wonder', this is the correct attitude to do youth training and football!
There are also introductions and videos of the Youth Games U16 and U13 competitions in Europe, maybe the people who pay attention have more confidence and feel that there is still the possibility of victory, and the expectation value is also rising step by step.
The more attention there is, the easier it is to develop a business. First of all, the ticket part, at the beginning, including Yu Tian and Lin Wenlei, these coaches felt that the fee was wishful thinking. But Schmitt insisted on receiving even if it was less, and brought in a ticketing company to back it and contracted all 32 game tickets for 2 million. But the result surprised everyone, although Lin Wenlei made a lot of restrictions on ticket sales, requiring at least half of the youth tickets to be guaranteed for each game, and the ticket price was as low as possible, 50 for adults and 15 for teenagers, but it was still difficult to find a ticket soon, and there were many scalpers.
There are also on-site advertisements and broadcast advertisements, except for Adi, which is an international brand, the others are all local brands in northern Chubei, but they are all sold, which Lin Wenlei can't understand professionally in football.
Lin Wenlei sighed twice about these things, and even the ticket income was directly donated to the Sports Committee, so that they could lay artificial turf courts for schools in poor mountainous areas, and their main energy was usually on training.
Still the same as before, Lin Wenlei did not conduct targeted training and arrangement according to the opponents of the invitational tournament, and he still practiced how he wanted.
is still half of the energy on basic skills training, but the content has been adjusted, recently focusing on personal ball skills, and Lin Wenlei's recent request to dare to take the ball and dare to pass in the backcourt.
In the past, they were required to pass the ball reasonably and safely in their training, and after the foundation was solid, they began to practice reasonable and safe passing under high confrontation. Passing and receiving the ball adds interference from physical confrontations and even fouls. This requires the passer to have a clearer mind and move faster, and also requires the receiver to be able to stop and unload some difficult balls, and then play or break through as soon as possible, and the requirements for running without the ball are also higher.
Lin Wenlei replied to the doubts of the team members like this:
"Yes, not doing things beyond your own ability, not asking your teammates to do things beyond his ability has not changed, what has changed is just asking you to improve your ability value and stop the ball that you couldn't stop before, isn't that ?...?"
The Youth Games U16 is not all without problems, the offensive core Cai Rongyu's poor confrontation ability, the problem of being easily restricted, and the poor adaptability of the organizational core Zheng Zhi are all problems that have not been solved after the core leaves the team. But this is not something that can be changed by special training, and I have to hope that they will suddenly open up that day.
On August 20, despite the fact that the opening match of the International Invitational Tournament with Shakhtar Donetsk U16 was about to be played at the youth stadium of the Jinyuhu Training Center in the afternoon, all eyes were on that side, Lin Wenlei still took the substitutes to the Xiakou Stadium.
Here is to complete the task assigned by the Sports Committee and play a friendly match with the North Korean national junior team.
Seeing some wilting substitutes on the bus can also understand that even the substitutes have dreams of being the main team, but they are going to play a game that no one pays attention to, and they are destined to not be able to appear in the crowd of the youth stadium in the afternoon.
Lin Wenlei looked at the 14 players who came over, the forwards came Chen Pu, Meng Xihe, Wei Yong, Han Guanghai, the midfielders are Feng Yang, Ning Zizheng, Feng Huakai, Sun Letian, the defenders are Xia Jixuan, Tian Youzhi, Xia, Wang Daoxin, Lin Yunyi, and the goalkeeper is Wei Haiming.
The most disappointing estimate is Wei Haiming, the two teams of the Youth Games have always followed the tradition of everyone taking turns to play, and the goalkeepers naturally rotate more, and this opportunity for the afternoon is naturally An Shidao, who sat in the back of the bus a little sullenly.
Lin Wenlei laughed a few times, imitating the plot of the ancients who first laughed for three days to attract the attention of others when they entered the door, and then said:
"You don't take the Korean national team too seriously, this team is said to be stronger than our national junior team..."
Lin Wenlei, who knew that he was not in the arena or training ground, also liked to joke, and Xia Jixuan also half-truthed and immediately went back:
"It's not that we haven't played at the level of the national youth, what is there to praise for being better than them..."
"Okay, if you have ambition, continue to be so arrogant, and then we will have to say if we lose..."
Xia Jixuan didn't relent:
"Then you have to win?"
Lin Wenlei pretended to think about it for a long time, and said as if he had made a lot of determination:
"You said that the opponent is not very good, and if you win, you will win, what else do you want... But if you want to win..."
knew that Lin Wenlei was selling Guanzi, but the team members still took the bait, and they all asked him to say it, and he didn't have the wilting appearance of being beaten by frost just now.
"If you win more than 3 goals, you will play against Gremio the day after tomorrow, and you can't beat one of you to brush your shoes for a day..."
They have this habit in the team, regardless of the main substitution, every day there are 3 people responsible for brushing the team's shoes, always reminding them that they are a whole, and no one makes a difference in collective matters.
Sometimes the penalty for making a mistake is for a person to do these things, or to be used as a condition for betting like this.
This is not an unacceptable condition for the players, it is heavier than the penalty of running ten laps, but the temptation to play is much greater, and immediately everyone shouted 'bet' with shining eyes!
Seeing that the atmosphere was mobilized like this, team member Xie Li was not surprised, but Rong Yu immediately took out a small book and remembered something...
