In the memory of the previous life, the 2006 World Cup final in Germany was also between the French team and the Italian team, and because of this, Wan Sheng said that he was optimistic about France and Italy.

However, Wan Sheng didn't have much impression of that game, he only knew that Italy won the game in the end, and there was a head-to-head incident with Zidane in the middle, and the rest was completely unimpressed, whether Italy defeated France in 90 minutes, or won by penalty shootouts, Wan Sheng didn't know at all.

But now he is a professional football coach and has his own opinions on both teams.

Lippi came to ask him, and naturally he had to consider how to deal with France from the perspective of Italy.

France is a strong team, there is no doubt about it.

Before the end of the last century, France had produced super-first-class players such as Fontaine, Platini and Papin, and although they won the European Championship in 1986, French football was still not at the top level in the world. This situation was not brought to an end until the 1998 World Cup in France: Zidane and Djokaeff were unstoppable in their playing years, and a number of veterans such as Deschamps, Desailly, and Blanco stabilized the morale of the army, and Henry and Trezeguet gradually emerged. It was with this outstanding performance that France won the World Cup in history, and won the European Championship again two years later.

However, with the withdrawal of a number of veterans from the national team, the strength of the French team has plummeted, and the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup group stage was eliminated eye-popping, and the World Cup qualifiers once ranked fourth in the group.

From Fontaine to Thierry Henry, from Platini to Zinedine Zidane, French football has no shortage of souls in the midfield, and its smooth penetration of short passes has also caused a deep headache for the powers.

As long as the French take the game seriously enough, no team in the world can easily beat them.

It can be seen from the development process of the French team. The core of France's soul is still Zidane, and the main core players are still those veterans, who are all close to retirement age, but their old and strong performance is still shining in the World Cup.

Especially Zinedine Zidane!

The world superstar has announced that he will retire after the World Cup, but his performances at this World Cup are so good that even without this final, he could well be the best player of the World Cup.

Therefore, if you want to beat the French team, you must do everything you can to defend Zidane's point.

In addition, it is worth noting the penetration play of the French team. It's not easy to keep the back of the net just by relying on Italy's defensive strategy, especially in the face of the occasional genius in France's midfield and wings, Italy's defense is still a problem.

"The left and the middle are the ones that need to be taken care of the most." Wan Sheng said seriously to Lippi, "I know Frank, he is very talented, especially his speed and dribbling, and now his passing has improved a lot, if you can't guard him. It will be very dangerous in front of the door. His long balls are accurate. ”

"Don't expect to be able to completely defend against him, but someone must follow him all the time, don't let him break through easily, and compress his space to play."

Wan Sheng gave Lippi instructions on how to defend Ribery. In addition, he talked about Zidane again, "And Zidane, it's not too much to use two defenders to limit his play!" No Zidane. France will be a different team. ”

Then Wan Sheng made a suggestion to prepare for the game, "It is very important to train more penalties. Preparation is about making penalties the most important of the priorities. Be prepared to take penalties against France. ”

Wan Sheng talked with Lippi for more than an hour, and he gave his opinions and opinions on the French team and the preparation in detail.

The conversation between the two was still very pleasant.

After that, the two also had some exchanges in preparing for the competition, Lippi as a very successful coach, is still very experienced in this regard, and many of his words have a reminder effect on Wansheng, especially on the issue of winning the Champions League and the league on both fronts, some of Lippi's guidance makes Wansheng feel a sense of openness.

After putting down the phone, Wan Sheng suddenly felt that he should make more friends like Lippi, because their guidance was really helpful to him.

Even if he has a football training master system, he is also very successful in leading the team, but after all, his experience is still too little, especially next season Manchester City will participate in the Champions League, this is the first time he has led the team, when the league, Champions League and domestic cups, the team can not be 100% attitude to deal with every game, then coaching experience will play a role.

The experienced veteran knows exactly what to do, and he ...... Maybe it's not doing well, and it's likely to lead to a series of problems, because there are so many players in the team, and his energy is limited, and he can't do everything well.

After a few words of guidance from Lippi, Wan Sheng had a general direction, and he decided that after the World Cup, he must have a meal with Lippi, get to know him, and learn from the old coach by the way.

No matter how successful he is, he is still a newcomer to the football coaching industry!

Confucius once said that when three people walk together, one of them must be a teacher, that is to say, one of them must be stronger than himself in some aspects, he can learn from him, put it on Wansheng's body, he has only coached for a few seasons, and he has just embarked on the road of football coaching, this road is still very long, he also needs the guidance of others, learn from the successful experience of others, and listen to other people's coaching methods and means, which will be very helpful to him in the future.

……

The next day, Wan Sheng and Anita went shopping together to continue enjoying their vacation.

But in front of the hotel, the two were stopped by several reporters.

Wan Sheng did not walk away directly, but looked at several reporters with a smile, he was in a good mood and was happy to be interviewed by reporters.

A reporter immediately asked about the paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine, and under the expectant eyes of many reporters, Wansheng said with certainty, "That's my research." I'm a graduate of exercise science and I've been working on sports recovery, and that's some of my recent research, and I think it should be shared with the world, which might be helpful for some people who do the same. ”

Wan Sheng's words were quite atmospheric, which caused several reporters to applaud.

Later, a reporter asked Wan Sheng whether doing scientific research while coaching the team would affect the results of the coaching team, Wan Sheng shook his head and said, "A lot of my research is related to the team, I will let the players do normal training, and then record some specific data by the way." He joked, "I think my players are willing to contribute to scientific research while training......

Quite a few reporters laughed.

In fact, this does involve the rights and interests of some players, but even the laws of Europe are not clear to the extent that public data cannot be used, players may be able to use legal weapons to protect their own interests, so that Wansheng cannot use the data obtained on them, but obviously no player is stupid enough to do this, which in itself does not cause any harm to them, and it will not get anything by doing so, but it will offend Wansheng and the club as the head coach, which must be very much worth the loss.

Next, another reporter mentioned the World Cup final, wanting Wansheng to predict the champion.

This question is quite crucial, especially in the first two days of the decisive battle, many people pay attention to Wansheng's 'prediction', and the German "Kicker" even has a special column for this purpose, to publish Wansheng's latest prediction, and their record will be word-for-word about what has been said in this regard.

Wan Sheng was prepared, he only smiled, "Yesterday Marcello [Lippi] called me, we discussed some coaching experience together, and then he mentioned the final. ”

"I told him some of my opinions, like the preparation, the way of playing against France, etc. Marcello is a respectable senior and I am happy to discuss this with him. ”

"So now if you ask me which team I like, my answer is, of course, Italy, and I hope Marcello can lead the team to the championship."

"Why?"

"I have a good personal relationship with Marcello. Domenech? Sorry, I don't know him! ”

Wan Sheng's words made the media reporters roll their eyes, they were very happy to hear Wan Sheng say that he was optimistic about Italy, because this is equivalent to a result, but he is willing to have a good relationship with Lippi?

What kind of logic is this!

You have a good relationship with Lippi, so Italy wins. If you don't have a good relationship with Domenech, France will have to lose?

The earth doesn't revolve around you......

Soon Wansheng's idealistic arguments spread throughout Germany, England, Europe, and even the world, and many fans knew the news, and naturally the comments were mixed.

Some people support Wan Sheng, thinking that his statement is reasonable.

It's like the German fans will support Germany, and the French fans will support France. Wan Sheng and Lippi have a good relationship and will certainly hope that Italy will win the championship.

There is support and there is opposition, they think that Wan Sheng should not publicly show this attitude, he does not say anything, it is better than saying the real reason, then his words will be regarded as 'prediction', but now, is it still a prediction?

No one knows.

The news was reported on the Internet, newspapers, television, and various media outlets, and the comments were varied.

This even affected the morale of both teams.

Wansheng's god prediction and 'mouth escape' still have a great impact, because since Euro 2004, his prediction has not been wrong, so no matter what causes him to be optimistic about the Italian team, it is undeniable that the Italian team will be full of fighting spirit.

On the other hand, the French team was told to lose by a person who never made a mistake in 'prediction', even though coach Domenech repeatedly stressed 'ignore the grandstanding Chinese', but what the players thought in their hearts, he could not control.

This will certainly be a big blow to the morale of the French team.

So it's not surprising that "Italy has taken the lead in the pre-match public opinion war". (To be continued.) )
