Section 75 Morale

86_86638 "Are we really going to play with these guys?" Why do the more I look at it, the more I feel less confident? ”

Sitting in the multi-purpose hall and watching the celebration after Gamba Osaka won the AFC Champions League on the screen in front of him, Yusuke Higa stretched lazily and spoke. After watching the 90-minute game, he couldn't help but open his mouth, and as soon as he finished speaking, there was already a chorus of echo around him.

The whole team was sitting in the house, and this game, they were watching it. Even if it is to understand the opponent, it can be regarded as watching the game, before the arrival of the Emperor's Cup game, they specially enjoyed the game between Gamba Osaka and Adelaide United, and in addition to appreciating these two games, it also made Liuda feel more and more desperate. At this moment, the whole room was complaining about the strength of the opponent.

Before watching the finals, although Liujingda also admired Gamba Osaka, there was still some luck after all: although Gamba Osaka played very smoothly in this year's games, it was because the opponents they met were not very strong. In the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League, they actually took a big advantage: after playing 1-1 in the first leg, in the second leg, their opponents Urawa Ruby's three main players, Hosobei Moe, Takato Soma and Tsutsuki Ryuta, were all banned, plus Tanaka Doukasa was injured, Urawa was a semi-crippled lineup. Even so, Gamba managed to win with a 3-2 comeback, two of which were scored from set-pieces, so it is widely believed that they are slightly inferior to Urawa Ruby, but their luck is amazing, so the players who have passed through it hope that they will not be particularly strong.

But after watching the game, they were a little desperate.

In the first game of the two legs of the AFC Champions League final, Gamba Osaka, who was sitting at home, attacked aggressively as soon as they came up, first Lucas counterattacked and scored, then Endo Hohito scored from a distance, and finally Yasuda PolyU took advantage of the set-piece opportunity to score a goal, and they completely defeated Adelaide United with a three-goal score.

After the second game was on the road, Gamba Osaka gave up possession. But after giving up possession, they played even more ferociously. In the opening 15 minutes, Gamba Osaka scored two goals by Lucas, directly locking the score of the two legs to 5-0.

This game, after the first 15 minutes, basically lost its meaning. The rest of the time, the players played listlessly, and the watchers watched listlessly.

In the first home game, Gamba Osaka mainly controlled the ball, suppressed the opponent with no chance in the whole game, and played a counterattack in the back away game, won cleanly, and locked the victory in 15 minutes. No matter what the tactics, at the feet of these players with excellent skills, they seem to play well, and there are no flaws.

Gamba Osaka is indeed a strong team - just in the semi-finals, Adelaide United had just beaten Ben Yudeko, who even had a three-goal win over Ben Yudeko's team, which also included former Ballon d'Or winner Rivaldo. But when they turned their heads, they were defeated by Gamba Osaka like this, which is really unimaginable.

Such a team deserves to be the top in Asia. And watching their game, thinking that their team is going to be against them, is really desperate.

"Maybe what Kawabuchi said is true, such Osaka Gamba can really compete for the Club World Cup." After watching the game, Yusuke Higa lost his fighting spirit a little.

What he said was said by Saburo Kawabuchi, president of the Japan Football Association, in an interview after the game, saying that he hoped Gamba Osaka could win the Club World Cup.

In this case, naturally no one will take it seriously, even if Gamba Osaka is really strong, but it is not at the same level as Manchester United after all. But for the flow through the University, the sad thing is that they and Osaka Gamba are not on the same level. The level gap is there, and it is too difficult to challenge the level.

Inside the room, the teammates were all sighing. In the noisy voice, there was a heavy sadness. Listening to the exclamation of his teammates, Kazuya Yamamura, as the vice captain, couldn't help but speak at this time to persuade him. He doesn't want to see his team-mates lose their morale before the game, and it's his job to boost morale.

"Don't be too pessimistic, although we don't have many opportunities, it's not nothing. There are only three days left between the AFC Champions League and the Emperor's Cup, they just played an away game to Australia, and they have to participate in the celebration when they come back, and the physical consumption is definitely not small, and we have the physical advantage......"

"Gamba scored two goals in 15 minutes, and with this kind of efficiency, does it really work if we have a physical advantage?" Yusuke immediately asked rhetorically.

"That's because they have good foreign aid, but aren't they the only ones who can use it? We're just going to kill him. ”

"But we can't stop this one."

Yusuke's questioning made Kazuya Yamamura speechless, it is true that the other party's players are a little outrageously strong, and players worth tens of millions of dollars are extraordinary after all.

"Lucas is indeed a master of counter-attacking, but he has played the whole game in two games, he is already very tired, we are more steady, they may not be able to move suddenly......"

Kazuya Yamamura was still looking for a reason, but Yusuke interrupted him again, "Then we will be dominated by Endo Hohito." If we can't stand Lucas, can we stand up to Endo Hohito? ”

His problem once again made Kazuya Yamamura stuck, and the opponent's local players were also very strong, at least compared to the big players, the gap was huge.

Kazuya Yamamura didn't know how to defend against him, he always felt that he shouldn't just admit defeat, but he really couldn't find a theoretical possibility to defeat such an enemy.

He cast a accusatory look at Yusuke, he didn't want to listen to these words before the game, he always felt that the more he thought about these things, the more chilling he felt. However, he also knew that what Yusuke Higa did couldn't be wrong. How could these things not be wanted? Even if you don't want to do it here, won't people think about it when they go back? Being able to control other people's mouths and always not control other people's minds, instead of thinking in private, it is better to speak out loud and find a way together - better than Ka Yusuke, at least he is not frightened, and he can think rationally.

Just, is there really a way? Kazuya feels that the more he discusses it now, the more desperate he becomes. In his heart, he remembered what the coach had said many times about the lack of mental strength of Japanese players, and he suddenly felt that what the coach said might be right.

He was indeed able to feel his powerlessness at this point.

Both fell silent and said no more. And in the entire screening room, no one dared to speak. They were all silent, not knowing what to do.

Gao Shunyao sat in the back row of the room, quietly watching this qiē. He is the tallest and likes to sit in the back row when watching the game video. Taking advantage of the light on the screen, he carefully observed the demeanor of his teammates in the room, this debate, he listened to it all, he never spoke, he just watched this qiē, until everyone stopped talking, he stood up.

"Gao Jun, what are you doing?" His actions attracted people's attention, and Kazuya Yamamura stopped him.

"I've had enough of your, and now I don't want to hear it anymore. I'm going to record the game, go back and watch it again for myself, and find a way to see how I win. Gao Shunyao ignored him and just walked straight to the front.

"Is there a way for us to win?" Yusuke Higa asked rhetorically.

"Is there a way for us to throw in the towel?" Gao Shunyao replied to Yusuke Higa very simply, "It's impossible for us to withdraw from the Emperor's Cup, so we have to play this game." Since you can't admit defeat, you don't want to think about how to win, what else do you think? ”

This time, it was Higa's turn to be speechless: indeed, the game was imminent, and there was no way they could escape it. Gao Shunyao didn't make any sense, but his simple approach made Higa Yusuke have nothing to say: what's the use of saying so much, he has to go to the competition.

Gao Shunyao walked to the front and asked for the video. And the people standing in the hall suddenly felt that their arguments were a little boring: they argued for a long time, but in the end they still had to go to the game, so what was the point of these arguments?

Maybe it's really like Gao Shunyao said, they are talking too much.

Looking at Gao Shunyao's actions, He Ye suddenly felt a little ashamed: he didn't expect that in the team, Gao Shunyao turned out to be the strongest psychological defense line. Until now, he was still thinking about how to deal with the enemy.

It dawned on him that the coach might be right: the lack of mental strength was really due to the Japanese hierarchy. Gao Shunyao, a person who has no rank in his heart, is even bolder.

Looking back, seeing that his teammates were silent, Gao Shunyao also knew that he might need to say something. He walked over to Kazuya's side and spoke again.

"I may not be right about this, but I still want to say: since you have to play no matter what, it doesn't make sense for you to talk about how strong your opponents are. We can't avoid them anyway, no matter how strong they are, we have to kick. In the face of a strong enemy, what is the nonsense to talk about? Prepare early and play well is the right thing to do. ”

Gao Shunyao looked at his teammates, thinking about the oppressive atmosphere just now, and couldn't help but open his mouth to accuse.

After playing football for so long, he doesn't know that the opponent is very strong, and in this game, he can also see how strong these players are. He knew very well that Endo's possession of the ball was enough for him to slip back and forth when he met him and couldn't get the ball, and he also knew very well that more than half of the movements that Lucas could do were absolutely impossible for him to do. These guys are strong, very strong, and he knows all these things. His own team can lose ninety-nine of them in a hundred games against such an opponent, and Gao Shunyao has no doubt about this.

But strangely, he was not afraid. On the contrary, watching this opponent's game, he was slightly excited.

Ninety-nine games may be lost in 100 games, but who knows what will happen in the last one? Football is round, and a qiē is possible.

There are still three days left before the game officially starts, and if you want to admit defeat, it's not too late to wait another three days.

"Before the game, it's not necessary to think about winning or losing, because we can't predict the future! All we need to think about is to do it with all our might. What if you lose? It doesn't matter, what is really scary is not losing, but not even the courage to fight. All you need to ask yourself now is: Do we have the guts to play? ”。
