Chapter 57: Up the Mountain
PS: The charm of competition lies in its unknownness, and with so many factors influencing a match, the final outcome is really difficult to predict. But in the arena, even luck favors the strong. I wish all book lovers a stronger and stronger soul, and so does the body!
Cameroon, the lion of Africa, is known as the most successful football team in Africa. At present, he has reached the World Cup finals three times, and the most glorious moment is the unprecedented quarterfinals of the 90 World Cup.
In fact, purely in terms of athletic talent, the guys in Africa have to throw two notches off Asia. However, the environmental impact outside of football has created a peculiar African football culture: more than enough creativity, but not enough discipline.
The most intuitive table on the field is that there are too many dribbles, too few passes, fine feet, and poor tactical awareness and discipline.
This is true for the senior team, let alone the junior team.
This is also the reason why the level of the senior team is so different, but the junior team can fight. After all, the current age group is not that far behind, and a high level of tactical awareness and teamwork can suppress the opponent's individual performance to the greatest extent.
As a result, a more targeted strategy of steady defense and counterattack was set by Zhu Guanghu before the game, but considering the unstable physical condition of Shang Yi, who had just started training after recovering from the injury, the team's formation was still 442.
Single back waist means responsibility, running, covering, steady foot, accurate, ruthless, mentally tough, iron-blooded, and unreasonable.
The previous Li Tie met most of the above requirements.
And today?
There must be a question mark.
This is the meaning of not writing a book without coincidence, the more the state is affected, the more responsibility must be assumed!
There are more than ten minutes left before the start of the game. Players from both sides are doing their final warm-ups.
There is such a thing as the state of the game, although there are traces to follow. But it's not set in stone. In particular, psychological influence is a factor that seems to be nothing, but actually has a very big impact. Anger, frustration, nervousness, confusion, and all kinds of bad states can be minimized if they are properly adjusted, and individual feelings can also be added to the game state as condiments to achieve unexpected results.
"There is an old man in the family, and there is a treasure." In fact, this is what is said, the ability of experienced veterans to adjust their psychological state is very strong. Individual psychologically stronger ones can also see the situation of their teammates and put forward targeted suggestions.
But this is a junior team, and the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys with the most emotional fluctuations have no competition experience, at this time, it is very good to be able to take care of themselves, how can they take care of others?
However, there are always exceptions, and although the biggest outlier in the national junior team is also under great pressure, out of a kind of trust in the teenagers, they always feel that he should do something or say something. Or even make eye contact.
But the people who have been carefully observing, at this time, are a little disappointed.
Although there is no tension on his face, he also has no previous calm style. On the contrary, it was as if he had been fascinated by yesterday's fierce praise, with an exaggerated smile and scattered eyes.
Teenagers with a sense of foreboding in their hearts. looked at each other, but only gained confusion and loss.
Even the self-conscious faith is already firm. Zhang Xiaorui, who was not affected much, felt that the noon sun was too dazzling. I let myself look at everything a little shaky.
It turns out that the concept of spiritual pillars is like this!
――――
In the national live broadcast competition, the happiest is of course Jiang Xiaolan. Li Juan doesn't have a leisurely holiday, no matter how envious she is, she can only watch the highlights or record after the game.
It's okay to report safety by phone, and the extravagant act of cooking porridge on the phone is not Miss Jiang's style, and being able to see that guy's lively appearance on TV is really something that you have to wake up with a smile in your dreams.
Jiang Xiaolan, who was in front of the TV an hour in advance, finally heard the long-awaited voice five minutes before the game started.
Sun Zhenping's machine-gun-like speech was all the rage at the time, and even Miss Jiang, who occasionally paid attention to sports competitions, tried to learn for a while.
But at this time, it sounds like it's full of intimacy.
"Audience friends, audience friends, the game that will be broadcast for you below represents the highest stage of domestic football participation at present. The fifth edition of the World Junior Football Championship was held in the island nation of Hiroshima two days ago, and the first match of our national junior team will start in five minutes against Cameroon, known as the "Lions of Africa". Viewers who are familiar with football may have heard of this title, and their strength and past record do deserve this title."
"Today we are fortunate to invite the commentary consultant, who is very familiar to everyone, who has served as the head coach of the national men's football team four times, and has just stepped down from the president of the Football Association for four years!"
The TV screen shifted to the teenagers who were holding their heads high in the sound of the national anthem, and swept them one by one.
Jiang Xiaolan took a long breath, and the small tension in her heart was finally dispelled by that familiar face.
However, the attentive girl's family still noticed a hint of strange feelings.
This guy, what happened to him, laughing so exaggeratedly?!
――――
In the stands of 30,000 people, the audience is not full, and there are probably less than 20,000 people, and most of them are minors.
But in the corner of the east stand, several national flags of different sizes were hung out, and there were about forty or fifty men and women, shouting very hard, and the strong dialect of Chinese accurately revealed their identities.
Yes, there is no shortage of Chinese people everywhere, and the characteristic is that there are many people and they are all over the world.
There is a specially divided area in front of the rostrum, which is used by the bigwigs of the Football Association to watch the game, and the atmosphere is quite warm at this time.
The 88-year trip to the Seoul Olympics ended miserably, and the national Olympic team, which did not score a single point or a goal, won the glorious title of "the most disappointing team".
The fact that a movement with such a large mass base is unheard of in the world is a great test of the patience and tolerance of the Chinese people. Time. Continued attention from top to bottom, constant discussion.
Upper managers who have learned from the pain. Finally, I took a long-term view, and patiently made a series of moves. It's kind of a lie and a taste of courage.
At present, this team has condensed everyone's hard work and hope, and is ready to break through the wilderness in one fell swoop in the Olympic Games, which is most valued by the Chinese people, and reap beautiful fruits.
The previous two games against South Korea were a reassurance to these bigwigs.
No matter how good it is, it's better to go for a walk!
The opponent in front of him is not very strong, and even if the tactics are played properly, it is very likely to win directly, and this beautiful pre-game expectation has been conveyed to the bigwigs one by one by the two guys who understand it.
The purpose does not need to be explained in detail.
If you win, everyone is happy. Lost. The black pot is back.
Crazy, you have to have crazy capital.
Be proud, have the strength to be proud.
Looking at your smug smile, you probably didn't plan how to explain if you lost!
――――
The long-awaited opening whistle finally sounded.
The curtain on the stage was quickly pulled up, the director, the screenwriter had receded behind the scenes, and the actors, or ready. Or if you're not ready, you don't have time to adjust your mood, even if you can't walk on the tense road, you have to go up and roll a few times and then come down!
The guy who quickly put away the smile. He was in a lazy state, but he still didn't say anything. It's just that after the opening whistle sounded, he picked up the ball that Li Jingyu touched. was a big kick, startling the opponent's goalkeeper in a cold sweat.
Category 3 winds. Under the combined effect of the midday sun, this kick seemed to shoot inadvertently. It almost rewrote the score!
The head coach of the Cameroon team, who jumped up from the coach's seat, shouted a long list of birds very dissatisfied, so that these black elves on the field raised their heads and looked at this opponent deeply.
Sun Zhenping's super-fast reaction and speed of speech came in handy at this time: "Only five seconds into the game, we almost rewrote the score!" The spectators who have been following this national junior team may have an impression of the player who shot the goal, yes, his name is You Mo, in the final of the national selection tournament that ended not long ago, in the last minute of the game, he pulled the team out of the abyss of defeat with a shocking ultra-long-distance hanging door"
Jiang Xiaolan, who was holding a glass of water and slowly calming down her excitement, saw the familiar situation, her hand shook, and she threw the water and the cup on the ground together, but her eyes did not move.
It wasn't until he confirmed that the ball was firmly held in the goalkeeper's arms that he pouted and lowered his head to clean up.
What's the matter, this doesn't go in, and it doesn't make people feel at ease!
――――
Li Jingyu really can't find the feeling of the previous game.
In this situation, I must have laughed at this guy before.
Dare to expose our old scars, it is worth forgiving if you enter, if you don't enter, wait for the full malice!
But now, for some reason, I just can't lift my energy, and I don't bother to speak.
What about Li Tie?
It seems to be slightly better. After yelling "good" in a rough voice, this guy continued to shout: "It's all about the spirit of the pen and the fun pavilion www.biquge.info and you can't be as careless as your opponent!" ”
Zhang Xiaorui and Shang Yi were both sitting on the bench, and they exchanged glances at this time, and their hearts were a little more steady.
Perhaps, that guy knows what to do. Those exaggerated smiles can't come from the bottom of my heart.
couldn't help but complain a few words, of course, only Lu Wei was the only one.
"Your uncle, old cow, do you want to win the lottery again and again when you buy a lottery ticket?"
You Mo was very dissatisfied with the incomprehensible style of this goods, "Your ancestor Mr. Lu, didn't look at my kick and beat their head coach up from his seat?" ”
Lu Wei didn't give up, "Well, it makes sense, wake up and let your baby go to fill the pit!" ”
You Mo scratched his head as if he had just realized: "It makes sense, it seems that you should hide it first." I don't know what's going on, I always feel like I can't keep a low profile today. ”
"I've been pretending to be X for too long, do you suddenly feel that life is boring, and Niu B will die more happily?" Lu Wei said a lot of unusually things today, and he kept talking under his feet, and he was also talking about it.
You Mo looked at him from afar, listening to the words of these others who sounded out of tune, and a sadness surged in his heart. Slowly diffuse, slightly blurring the vision.
In the air, there is a slight fishy smell brought by the tide, the salty smell of sweat, and the sour smell of tears, which poured into my heart together, making people have mixed tastes.
"Suddenly time flies a little fast, don't you think?"
"Yes, who said it wasn't, the door has been opened, if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid you won't be able to go up a few hills." (To be continued......)
