Chapter 7: Seeing Hope

The sweet cake drawn in the first game became a throat-sealing poison in the second game. The domestic and foreign media, who had already prepared the bullets, began to write hard as soon as the game ended, from tactics to command, from the whole to the individual, from the system to the style, all of which were not enough.

Why did you lose to an opponent of the same grade?

Why is losing so ugly?

Why is the first game good, but the second game will not be played?

These are questions that everyone asks, but unfortunately the answer can only be preceded by an "if".

If those two guys are there, the national football team can also draw a scoop based on the gourd and use the opponent's method to win the game.

If you don't want to show something, the game won't be timid, and you won't even be able to play half of your usual level.

If it weren't for the lack of experience in the tournament, the whole team wouldn't have been blindsided after conceding the first goal.

In fact, in good conscience, the performance of the national football team is not so bad that it is useless, and the opinions of ordinary fans are not unreasonable. Strictly speaking, the main culprit of the defeat is the lack of high-level game experience and the lack of adaptability to opponents with different styles.

If you can analyze the real cause, the solution will be on paper.

Go abroad and seek further education!

"Sports" has been singing down with a firm attitude since the national football team went out, and many of the controversial views have been repeatedly cited by peers in the current context.

Liu Nan did not have the posture of a prophet pretending to be X to the end, and wrote regretfully in the latest commentary: We have tried various tactical plays. but he gave up halfway; We've tried all sorts of football styles and we've never been able to stick to them; We have tried the national system, but we still can't erase the utilitarianism engraved in our bones

Once. If, in the future, none of this can change the status quo.

On June 23, the national football team, which has been determined to have no hope of qualifying, ushered in a face-to-face battle.

Croatia has fully exposed the dark horse in the 1-1 draw with Argentina, and only needs to take one point in this game. It's already guaranteed to qualify.

In this case, no one feels that the national football team still has any psychological burden.

But what about the facts?

Yes!

The residual heat of the German veterans' visit to China has not disappeared, and the Football Association has become a negative model in this wave of national discussion. As a leader. If you want to survive the crisis of confidence, the national team record is undoubtedly the most convincing. But in the current two games, the national football team has not scored a single goal, has not scored a point, and swallowed four bullets. The Football Association has also been caught in the wave of public opinion counteroffensive.

I was counting on these guys to come up on their own. As a result, they kicked it even deeper!

In this case, if the last game does not come up with a strong rebound to prove something, how can the bigwigs have face? Where do you go from here? Where is the money?

Leadership pressure is also one of the characteristics of the national team, but this time the intensity is a little shocking even for the old internationals.

Wu Shaozu, Director of the General Administration of Sports, Yuan Weiming, Chairman of the Football Association, Wang Junsheng, Vice Chairmen, Sun Baorong

Shake hands. Encouragement, commitment. The exciting scene before the decisive battle made everyone's hearts beat faster, and they didn't know where they were or where they were.

As a result, in the whole game, the performance of the national football team can be described in only one word.

Ants!

Possession was 36 per cent to 64 per cent, shots were 6 to 15, shots were on target 2 to 7, the score was 0:3, yellow cards were 5:1 and red cards were 1:0.

The most impressive moment in the whole game was Li Tie's lonely eyes when he left the game.

Lu Wei and You Mo watched the whole game calmly, except for the lack of words, it was no different from other times. When he exited the match at the end of the match, the disguise that was successful last time was not able to pass this time.

"Saying goodbye to the World Cup in such a way is inevitable to lose. If it is not broken, it is not broken, it is not painful, I hope they can still gain something in addition to the pain. ”

"It's not difficult to expose the problem, and it's not difficult to find a solution to the problem, but the determination to persevere is not so easy, so I wish them good luck."

"I am a Chinese, and I will not consider changing my nationality or anything before the end of my career."

After answering the three questions, You Mo ignored the bloody reporters and walked away.

When he returned to the hotel, Li Juan, who was overjoyed after watching the game in the room, pounced.

"Why are you so happy?" You Mo stood up straight, hung up on her, and asked with a pained face.

"Hehe, the worse I lose, the happier I am!" The smile on Li Juan's face was not disguised at all, and she was typical of a villain's face.

"I'm actually happy to be here!" Yumo mechanically moved two steps and collapsed on the bed with her.

"Liar!"

"I'm very happy, Yao Xia didn't go on, Xiaorui didn't make the cut"

"Ah, when the two little fat men heard what you said, should they cry or laugh?"

You Mo was still thinking about the answer when there was a knock on the door.

Ten seconds later.

Lu Wei came in with a bag of snacks and beer and Zheng Eyelashes on his back.

"Damn, now you're going to have your daughter-in-law on your back?" You Mo had no sympathy when he saw this.

"The guy you brought out, except for bragging about inheriting the mantle, everything else seems to have been lost!" Lu Wei also lacks empathy, and his knife hits the red heart.

"Well, I'm speechless." You Mo reached out and took the beer, opened it, and took a sip.

"Are you alright?" Zheng Zhi had already jumped off Lu Wei's back with a look of suspicion.

"I heard that you bought a diamond ring worth 150,000 marks, tell me, what will happen to me?" You Mo was angry when he saw this guy, especially after seeing the bright thing in her hand.

"Stingy!" Zheng Li's only sympathy suddenly disappeared without a trace, his fists clenched, and he dangled in front of him.

"London housing prices are said to be very expensive" You Mo snorted weakly, if it wasn't for Li Juan choking his neck, it is estimated that he would have pretended to be an ostrich.

"How much is a flat?" The daughter of the real estate owner is quite sensitive to things like house prices, and immediately lets go when she hears it.

"There's no specific standard. Are you planning to live in an apartment building with a large family? Lu Wei asked with a strange look.

"Wear a big diamond ring and live in a small apartment building. Hey, hey, hey" Li Juan quickly exposed the true colors of the silly girl, gulped down, and giggled loudly.

"And then every day when I go out, there are countless paparazzi guarding the door" Lu Wei imagined it, and he felt that the picture was too beautiful.

"A beautiful life is just around the corner," Yu Mo continued to hum.

The knock on the door started again, Zheng Lash jumped over and opened the door, and the room suddenly became lively again.

"He secretly drank behind our backs!"

Jiang Xiaolan didn't drink a drop of wine before, but later she was exposed to this product, and she could also have a little red beer. Now that she is pregnant with a baby, she can only be greedy.

"Diamond ring, diamond ring!" Wang Dan's eyes lit up as soon as he came in, and his daughter was thrown to You Mo to find Zheng Zhi.

"If I ask the professor to borrow money. I guess I'll have to charge a lot of interest, right? You Mo decisively turned his head and asked Lu Wei for verification.

"It's very likely to be visually inspected, don't you have his phone, probe the wind first?" Lu Wei looked serious and helped come up with ideas.

"Alas. Really. You dragged your family to London to join him, and as a result, you were given such a small salary, how can you compare with Ferguson! Zheng Zhi is now half a Red Devil fan, and he secretly sighs in his heart that the role of money is really great.

"Forget it, people want to help the club pay off its debts, and it's normal for people to be stingy." Wang Dan is one of the insiders, and he hurried out to play a round at this moment.

"Aren't we talking about the national football team, how did it get to the Premier League?" Li Juan after a can of beer was swallowed. A little confused.

"The national football team? What is there to discuss, wait and see what happens! Wang Dan was going to give a speech on the situation. As a result, after seeing who is hosting the topic, immediately make a long story short.

"If Lao Yan takes class, we both have to become trapeze, how can we break it?" You Mo spread his hands, threw his daughter to Jiang Xiaolan, and told him by the way, "Don't stay up late, go to bed early." ”

"Well, I'll go to sleep in a moment." Steward Lan smiled sweetly and looked down at You Xinya, who was sleeping soundly.

"The national youth team can't go, the warm-up game can't go, and the face can't live." Lu Wei obviously had the answer in his heart, and he opened his mouth when he was asked at this moment.

"Ah, wouldn't it be too much?" You Mo didn't say anything about it, and Wang Dan became uneasy first.

"Which one?" Li Juan didn't finish the two cans, she was already drunk, and even her voice didn't seem to wake up.

"Lu Wei's expression is naturally easy to cause misunderstanding!" Zheng Yan hurriedly explained, knocking on the stupid girl's head by the way, "What kind of alcohol do you have, it's worse than me!" ”

"What about you, what are you going to say?" Wang Dan was still not very reassured, and turned his head to ask.

"If you want to make results, you have to take a long-term view, and after such a toss in the World Cup, there will be a lot more guys who are willing to come out. If people fly around all day long for friendly matches and face-saving work, then such a national team will not be included. You Mo got up, stretched, and picked up another can of beer by the way.

"Isn't it like this for any national team, and the face is not just the Football Association, you haven't been involved with the national team for so long, isn't it good to brush up some popularity?" Wang Dan shook his head, his face full of puzzlement.

"Sister, you treat the game as a commercial performance. That kind of popularity, don't want it. You Mo was rarely serious, and looked straight at each other.

"Why are you so fierce?" Jiang Xiaolan suddenly noticed a somewhat unflavored atmosphere, and reached out to pull the corner of You Mo's clothes.

"Oh, Sister Dan isn't it also for your good. has been criticized for so long, and venting evil anger helps mental health! Zheng Yan also quickly got up and started a round.

"Gas? This kind of thinking can help with mental health, but it only has a negative impact on the game, and it is a behavior that deviates from the long-term goal. Lu Wei is rarely patient, but he is aiming at You Xinya, who wakes up and doesn't make trouble.

"Why, is it because the expectations of the Chinese people are not worthy of your attention?" Wang Dan did not show weakness, and also stood up, his voice getting louder.

"Expectation? What are their expectations for this World Cup? ”

You Mo actually laughed, and his voice was not gloomy.

But the more this happened, the more Wang Dan felt tightness in his chest.

"That's what they don't expect!"

"You've watched too many hero movies, right?" Lu Wei turned his head and looked at the guy who seemed to be planning to fight in surprise.

"Who's to say it isn't?" You Mo grinned wryly and spread his hands, "If it weren't for me, you would probably join the German team in minutes, right?" ”

"It was a smart choice for me." Lu Wei nodded violently, and explained to Wang Dan by the way, "The strength of this national team is actually good, and at most one-third of the reason why it didn't play well is in the players." Do you hope that after we join, will we continue to use inconsequential games to help the Football Association and the Chinese people grow face, or will it really come to a critical moment without dropping the chain? ”

"I'm just not satisfied with your indifferent attitude, what kind of people have been scolded for!" Wang Dan breathed a sigh of relief and frowned.

"The Arsenal stall is enough for him to clean up, and you want him to be a deserter at both ends?" Lu Wei also frowned, and his voice was low.

"Long Aotian!" Yu Mo patted his chest.

"Hey, of course not!" Wang Dan suddenly woke up, and changed his face to play Dafa.

"The problems of the national team have been around for a long time, and they cannot be solved by a general election. When the general environment is still eager for quick success, we have become some people's upward pawns. ”

With that, You Mo saw that the beer on the table was exhausted, and got up to drive people away.

"Scattered, go back to Germany tomorrow, ready to get married!"

All lost, three games with three completely different results.

The first game is that although the defeat is still glorious, the loser does not lose the battle. Although the second game was extremely depressing, it did not make people lose confidence, and many people even took the initiative to find the reason and defend the national football team. The third game was lost, and the situation was suddenly messy.

Rats leave a sinking ship.

In such a game that has nothing to do with the overall situation, when it is just for face, it is completely hopeless to lose, what is the use of such a team?

The Football Association, which has fully exposed the essence of inaction, is not worthy of the ardent expectations of the Chinese people if it is not criticized at this time?

I thought that Chinese football had rushed out of Asia, but it turned out that it was not as good as not rushing out, and someone had to take responsibility for this negative impact!

Idealists with the idea of becoming benevolent if they don't succeed are eager to find the pleasure of destroying everything from the negative effects of immediate failure. They don't care how big the problem of domestic football is, how difficult it is to change, anyway, it definitely needs to be rebuilt, so first knock everything down, and it's better to step on two feet!

Under the influence of this mentality, in the last week of June, the entire domestic public opinion was occupied by the tone of the angry youth, and the pessimism was a mess.

This is often the case with Chinese people in this kind of thing.

Correcting the past is too correct, and it is too late.

Football is now a huge industry, where can a huge entanglement of interests be completely solved by a letter of appointment?

In the environment of public opinion with great indignation, how many people are really making suggestions, trying to solve problems with the purpose of doing practical things?

The Football Association is just a public institution under the Sports Bureau, so does it really have the audacity to go against the will of the leadership?

If all the leadership of this Football Association is replaced, will Chinese football be able to take off?

Witnessing this scene in front of him, Liu Nan, who was not without sympathy for the players, couldn't help but sigh.

"Simple and crude, laymen leading insiders, utilitarianism prevailing, these old problems of domestic football have once again concentrated and created the current situation."

"With such high expectations, can the players not want to play well?"

"Obviously, they did their best. Strength, method, mentality, under the combined effect of the three, let them lose face, and the whole career of losing is covered with dust. ”

"Change is imminent. However, how to change, where to start, where to go, and how to make people see hope while changing? ”

"Everyone understands such a simple and simple truth, but how many people really take Chinese football as their own responsibility and do their best to consider these issues?" (To be continued......)
