On the Chinese New Year's Eve, You Mo in the dressing room before the game received an unexpected call.

The game was the fourth round of the German Cup, the opponent was the Frankfurt team, and the call was made by Yuan Weiming himself.

Since the moment You Mo decided to go abroad to develop, the two have entered a state of strangers, and now they are calling, obviously not just ordinary year-end greetings.

Wu Shaogu, director of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, nodded in person, saying that if the other party can work hard to resolve the problem of its own image and not continue to expand the negative impact, you Mo and Lu Wei's 98 trip to France can be considered.

After a moment's thought, the call ended quickly.

Yu Mo's answer may surprise the head of the General Bureau, but it will not surprise the guy who called.

In Yuan Weiming's eyes, from the moment he refused to go abroad to play football, his impression had been set, and now that he was sending him a message, he didn't think he would have changed so amazingly in more than a year.

For him, the moral standards that the defenders value most are nothing, and the ordinary people yearn for glory for the country, become famous, and gain great profits are also nothing.

A promise is what he really values!

The attitude of the head of the General Administration is considered an official opinion, and the subtext is clear.

Originally scheduled to end the season, that is, in mid-May this year, he is going to hold a wedding in Kaiserslautern, if it can be canceled, the General Administration of Sports of China will consider the past and re-summon the two to return to the national team to participate in the landmark event in the history of the national football team in France in June.

If he agrees, the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China will come forward to help him solve the problem of negative image, and if he refuses, the Football Association's smear will intensify again!

Moreover, the more famous he becomes, the more amazing his achievements become. The more exaggerated the smeared Cheng dù!

The matter is concerned about personal interests, and the Football Association will not care about the problem of means!

It is natural that the leaders of the General Administration can be so confident, which is naturally different from the situation in the past.

The national football team broke through history for the first time and entered the World Cup, which can be regarded as a successful completion of the task from any point of view. In this case. Summoning the two to return to the national football team for the sake of a possible better performance is obviously just the icing on the cake.

Even if they are rejected and the result is lackluster, it will not erase the credit that national football has broken out of Asia!

The Football Association, which still occupies a strong voice in public opinion, is not only to convey the will of the leadership this time, but also to the final showdown.

After all, the two guys who can stir up unprecedented storms in Europe cannot be ignored by domestic attention all the time.

Willing to be in their charge, obey their leadership, that one qiē some discussed. If you don't want to, it's impossible to solve the problem through communication!

"It looks like June will only have to go to France to watch the game."

After hanging up the phone, You Mo threw the phone in his backpack and stretched.

"Oh. Regrets? Lu Wei's response was very flat, as if he had expected his words.

"A little bit. By the way, the boss has been coming to you frequently lately, what big plans are you discussing? You Mo buried himself in tying his shoelaces, and he had no intention of observing the other party's reaction at all.

"I think you didn't play well in the last game. Decided to reuse the old guys. ”

"Oh, what about this one?"

"Of course it's not the same as before."

After the starting list is out. Coleman, who had been in high spirits before, scratched his head.

Sesk, Koch, Lehi, Saget, Kuka, Bena. Booker, Sforza, facing not a strong opponent, just 16 into 8 in the 4th round of the German Cup, Rehhagel actually sent 8 rotation players!

This seems normal. In fact, what does it mean to have a completely different employment strategy from what I had planned before?

The manager still feels that the players are not in good form enough and uses the FA Cup as a training ground?

Or is it to abandon the previous plans that were not taken seriously and make cup results an important goal for the season?

Or is it a way to decompress the team and let the guys on the cusp breathe?

"Well, Eintracht Frankfurt may have been as surprised as I was. They were passive in the first 20 minutes of the game, and conceding goals seemed logical. ”

Suggett received a pass from Sforza on the left, broke through and handed it to the receiving centre-forward Bena, who turned and fired a low shot that was saved by the goalkeeper. Booker stopped the ball on the periphery and had a beautiful one-two cooperation with Kuka, who had been active on the table, and finally scored! ”

"This goal was Booker's first goal since joining the team, and coming in such a way in the quarter-finals of the German Cup was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for all followers!"

"The team's performance in the first 20 minutes basically continued their form in the last minute of the last round of the Bundesliga game, even if there were a few important players missing in the attack, the team's active running, fierce pressing, and skillful coordination made the opponent very uncomfortable. Prior to the goal, they had already had two good scoring chances, but in the end they were unable to find the back of the net thanks to the heroic save of the opposing goalkeeper. ”

"The topic is back to square one."

"Rehhagel suddenly paid attention to the intention of this game, did he also want to catch the opponent off guard?"

"Eintracht Frankfurt have always been more tactical, and this time at the Franz Walter Stadium was obviously a bit unexpected. They sent six main players into the battle, and according to the past situation, they should not have been so passive. ”

"Now, with things going well, will the manager change his strategy and make the German Cup an important goal for the season?"

As the executor of the manager's tactical strategy, the players in the heat of the game don't think about it that much.

For them as rotation players, as long as they have the opportunity to play, then take a good look!

It doesn't matter what the strategy is, the goal of the season, the ultimate goal.

To be able to get the opportunity to play is that my efforts have been recognized by the manager. No matter how strong or weak the opponent is, how he plays, and how lucky he is, if he can get a chance to be at the top of the list, that is a direct reflection of his own bullish strength!

With this mentality, their mental condition is exactly the same as that of Hamburg in the last game.

It's just that the opponent in the last game was proud to beat the top team, and this time they are proud to compete with the top team in their own table!

And. In addition to their positive appearance, their calm appearance is still remarkable in the face of opponents who began to stabilize their positions after 20 minutes.

Seske made a big mistake in the last game, and he was still able to gain the trust of the manager in this game, which made him feel guilty and strengthen his faith.

It's not scary for young people to make mistakes. Not being able to face it with a positive attitude after making a mistake is the beginning of danger!

As a centre-back, the most common mistake is a reckless tackle. He did not receive criticism from Rehhagel after the game, but the old-timer Bremer took the initiative to find him, sat down with him, and analyzed and talked for a long time.

This kind of heart-warming help from his teammates made him, who has always been a teenager and an old man, also feel a little emotional.

The team has achieved such an amazing achievement. Everyone's role is not small!

In addition to him, Booker was also deeply touched during this time.

Although he was also transferred as a rookie before the season, he was not the same as Ballack. At the age of 23 and 3 years of experience in the Bundesliga, his style tends to take shape, and he has also accumulated a lot of experience on and off the field.

However, he never met a team in his first career with Wolfsburg and later on loan at Cologne. I can be as positive as the team in front of me. Upward, energetic, tolerant, bold and fearless!

To be able to get the opportunity to improve in such a team, he really doesn't care about the low opinion of him in the world. Even if he opened the scoring for the team with his first goal today. He still kept his head up.

There's no way, compared to those demons who scored the killer goal in the battle for the top of the leaderboard and can still look indifferent, he simply feels that he lacks the motivation to celebrate!

With these two pressing one after the other, the whole Kaiserslautern team was facing the opponent's counterattack. With the help of veterans Leahy, Koch, and Sforza, the core of the field, he patiently maneuvered with his opponent and gradually suppressed the opponent's strong rebound that could change the direction of the game.

At the end of the first half, the score remained unchanged at 1:0

The specific reason why I can't go to France, You Mo still has to tell me. So, at halftime, the two guys who were juggling the ball in the middle of the field listened to the cheers and shouts that kept ringing in their ears and continued the previous topic.

"That's it, what the Director of the General Administration means."

"Oh, that sounds, there's a final showdown?"

"It's almost, they have capital now, and it's normal for people to have more confidence."

"Don't want the country for women, your current image is more suitable for developing in the direction of male enemies."

"Male god?"

"The appearance is a little worse."

"By the way, it is said that the skincare products you endorse are selling well."

"yes, actually, I want to endorse the game."

"Now?"

"StarCraft is coming out in March."

"Uh, you're not interested in Pro Evolution Soccer 3?"

"Is there a comparison?"

"Well, not really."

Continuing in the second half of the game, both teams invariably increased the pace of attack and defense.

Eintracht Frankfurt is not satisfied, Kaiserslautern is not satisfied.

Yumo didn't go to the locker room at halftime, but even if he wasn't there, he could make up for Rehhagel's every move.

Such a game was obviously picked up by the head coach as a good step for young people to continue to rise. What needs to be instilled in the players at half-time is only a sense of long-term vision.

A team is like this, some people don't need to be reminded, some people can understand it a little, and some people need to be reminded repeatedly before they can form a deep impression and imprint it in their bones.

Every successful professional manager is an excellent psychological master, and there may be a difference in level, but when faced with an uncomplicated situation, he will remain calm and remind his disciples with the eyes of outsiders, so that they can grow in the game.

This growth is most impressive.

First, it is the high level of attention that the game itself has received, giving them plenty of time to reminisce and deepen their impression repeatedly.

Second, winning or losing in competition is much more than just a score. Win your opponents, grow, and gain strong confidence that will carry over to the next game or even many games.

This game, if you say something important, it can't be compared with those previous big battles, if it doesn't matter, after all, it is the quarterfinals of the German Cup, if you can use a pure substitute lineup to win the opponent who has drawn in the league, the morale boost will be very obvious.

In this situation, maintaining a high level of concentration, maintaining everyone's honor and victory, and letting the guys on and off the field grow together in the game has become something that Rehhagel attaches great importance to.

Even so, such a game looks somewhat unremarkable. (To be continued......)
