Chapter 83, Abu Dhabi
It was the afternoon of January 2 local time when the Qujing arrived in Abu Dhabi City.
As soon as he got out of the airport, he was quite surprised that Fu Bo, the head coach of the National Olympic team, also came to pick him up.
"Welcome to the National Olympic Team", this unassuming National Olympic marshal looked very calm, and he stretched out his hand to welcome the arrival of Qu Jing.
"Coach Fu, you are too polite", Qu Jing hurriedly thanked him. Although he didn't know much about Fu Bo, he still looked up some of his information.
The head coach who played for the Liaoning team when he was a player had a very brilliant professional experience, and after retiring, he began to work as a coach, and he was very good at learning and studying.
"I have followed your game, you played very well, and it just so happens that you are also of the right age, so I recommended you to the Football Association that you can join the national Olympic team, and I hope you can join us to get the ticket to the Olympic Games", Fu Bo expressed his views straight to the point, although as long as he is stained with the title of China's national character, he will undoubtedly be pushed to the forefront of public opinion by the media and the public, but Fu Bo's eyes are still full of perseverance, which makes Qu Jing suddenly respect him.
"To be able to carry it in this position, what a big lung is this......", Qu Jing replied with a serious face while thinking: "It is my honor to join the National Olympic team, I am a newcomer, and I hope that Coach Fu and the coaches will give more guidance and help." β
Fu Bo smiled and waved his hand, and briefly briefed him on the situation of the national Olympic team: the national Olympic team played three warm-up matches against Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia and Iraq at the training base in Alzabi before January 8. Then on the 13th, he moved to Doha to face the qualifier opponent Qatar.
"The qualifiers will test our true strength and preparation level, judging from the recent qualifiers, the Japanese and South Korean Olympic teams have not shown superior strength, like our first opponent Qatar team, which just lost 0:3 at the feet of the Serbian team last week, and the other West Asian Olympic teams are similar to this situation", Fu Bo looked at the scenery outside the car window, and looked at it from the perspective of Qu Jing, the young marshal's sideburns were already a little white, but this is also normal, it is estimated that whoever sits on this crater will also have premature aging.
"The good news is that the format of the Asian Olympic qualifiers is different from the past, and it has been changed to a tournament format. The top two teams in the four groups qualify, and then cross each other, and then decide the semi-finals and the champions, runners-up and third places, and the top three get tickets to the Olympic Games", Speaking of this, Fu Bo turned his head to look at Qu Jing and continued: "One of the main characteristics of this format is that the chance is greatly enhanced, which is completely different from the previous home-and-away format that requires strength and level, although these are also needed, but obviously luck will occupy a very key factor. So, while we are in the recognized group of death, if we are more prepared and targeted, we may not be without opportunities. β
"......", Fu Bo's confident and full words made Qu Jing feel a little speechless for a moment.
What about the pre-game mobilization? Shouldn't we unite and brave the enemy's fire? Why are you so unconfident?
He unnaturally contrasts Fu Bo with Agusli.
Agusli is the kind of natural fighter who will strategically despise the enemy no matter how strong the opponent is, and even use "denigration" methods when mobilizing, such as grasping the weak performance of a certain aspect of the team, or even some characteristics of the manager, in order to reduce the psychological pressure on the players - sometimes against the big teams, the players with bad hearts are always afraid.
But when it comes to tactical preparation, Agusli is absolutely meticulous, he will study his opponent's profile over and over again to find a possible way to defeat him. Then repeatedly put the players into a certain situation during training, and once a similar situation arises in the game, the players will subconsciously get into the role, as they often do in training matches.
Facts and results have proven that Agusli's method is very effective. Therefore, in the view of Agusli's set of songs, Fu Bo's words seem to be too "low-key".
"We're sure to get the ticket," Qu Jingchong smiled at Fu Bo, who was a little stunned, then leaned back in the back seat and looked out the window, no longer speaking.
Looking out of the narrow car window, you can see the green grass and green trees, and it turns out that Abu Dhabi, a desert country, is so picturesque!
This makes Qu Jing suddenly think of football, just like Real Sociedad, a small club, can still play all the way, is it possible for Chinese football, a very "barren" project, to create its own "oasis"?
After arriving at the base and meeting the players of the national Olympic team, Qu Jing gave birth to a sense of familiarity that he had not seen for a long time. He thought of Battista and Capilla, and the teammates in front of him were almost like thatβfull of energy and fearless expressions on their faces.
However, it is rare for the head coach to pick up the airport in person like today, which makes the teammates of the National Olympic team look at Qu Jing with a kind of distinguishable difference, although Qu Jing is also the same age as them, but no matter from the mentality or experience, it is naturally very different from them.
Under Fu Bo's introduction, Qu Jing probably knew the names of these teammates who were about to fight together, in addition to Xu Xin and Zhang Ning, who were also overseas, they had also seen reports, and players like Xie Pengfei were only known by him when he temporarily checked the information.
He greeted his teammates with a smile and gave a brief introduction to himself. During the introduction, he could hear some of the players whispering underneath him, and by their eyes, it was clear that he knew something about him playing in La Liga.
After everyone got to know each other, Fu Bo waved his hand gently, and the players quickly became quiet, listening to him say: "With the addition of you excellent players, we are now the strongest squad that can be configured, I hope you can show the best competitive state in Alzabi at the right temperature, the coaching staff will carefully observe the performance of each of you in the training matches and friendly matches in these days, and then determine the final group stage lineup." β
Speaking of this, Fu Bo's gaze swept over the faces of the 23 players, including Qu Jing, one by one, and continued very seriously: "We all know that every time any echelon representing the country receives great attention from the people before the official competition. Since we have chosen to be a professional footballer, it means that we have the responsibility and obligation to represent our country. Although we have been repeatedly unfavored, and it is true that we have not come up with decent records, this time, I hope that the revival and glory of Chinese football can start from our group. β
"Come on!"
"Strive to ......"
"We're going to play our best!"
"Qualify! Outlet! Get your ticket! β
From the shouts of his teammates, Qu Jing saw excited and excited faces.
Although he had not felt anything when he had seen similar mobilizations and oaths in his previous reports, he even felt that it was a meaningless slogan that seemed ridiculous. But when he really represented the national Olympic team to fight for honor this time, he still instantly poured out a wave of enthusiasm and pride in his heart - don't say that we once had nothing, we want to be the master of the field! I don't care if Internachonel achieves it or not, but he's going to make it out of this fucking qualifier!
