Chapter 67: Sparring Opponents
Football is beautiful because of its culture, sexy because of its purity, and emotional because of its unpredictability. Success is hard to replicate, but there will always be some traces left. Thank you for your continued companionship, and let's take a closer look for the shells left on the beach!
The result of the game was not the same as the outcome of the war, and England, who had always played mediocre in the tournament, lost 1:2 to Argentina.
The score didn't look amazing, but the strong smell of gunpowder was clearly audible in the stands. The tragic results of nine yellow cards, three red cards and three injuries made the game intermittent, and at the same time, it also made the teenagers in the stands vaguely aware that the game seemed to be more than just a game.
To be honest, the quality of this kind of game is not really good for the eyes of the insider. Too much interference from something outside of the game makes the tactical value of the game lackluster. The outcome of the game is only determined by the occasional flash of light and luck of the stars.
However, Zhu Guanghu's purpose is obviously not just to let the teenagers enjoy the game.
On the bus back to the hotel, he sat among the players and asked with a smile: "How did you feel about this game just now?" ”
The guys who were obviously full of emotion were very enthusiastic, and Li Jingyu had the loudest voice: "I felt strange at the beginning, but after seeing it, I realized that these two countries have a grudge?" Or maybe it's a feud between the two teams! ”
The guys in the army have more say in this regard, and Li Jian answered: "Yes, after Argentina and Britain fought a war in 82, the two countries became feuds. ”
Sui Dongliang added: "Argentina lost in the end, and the teams of the two countries also became mortal enemies. ”
You Mo suddenly felt that the cultural class of the army team was more reliable, and it was rare to take a closer look at the brothers, and sure enough, they were dignified, and there was a heroic spirit between their eyebrows.
"How do you feel about the quality of the game?" Zhu Guanghu began to introduce the main topic.
"It's not pretty!" This time the sound is more uniform.
Zhu Guanghu was not satisfied with this answer. began to roll call: "Zhang Xiaorui will tell me your opinion." ”
This time he was named, but the discussion did not sound, but the eyes of the little fat man were more complicated, "Judging from the game process, both sides did not play a decent cooperation." It's clear that none of them played to their true level! ”
There is no need for Zhu Guanghu to continue to guide. Zhang Xiaorui paused for a moment and continued: "As with the situation we encountered before, they must have been disturbed by too many off-court factors before the game. So much so that the game itself basically did not come out, and those who lost were fired, and those who won also paid a heavy price. It doesn't matter if you only have one game, just get angry. But they certainly didn't think about it for the future, so much so that they buried a big hidden danger! ”
There was a lot of discussion in the carriage, and Da Yu's voice was very unconvinced: "I actually thought of this meaning, but I didn't say it so clearly!" ”
Li Tie patted Da Yu's head with an appreciative face: "If you can make it clear, you are not Da Yu!" ”
Li Jian glanced at Zhu Guanghu's expression. I gained some confidence from that smiling face, and my voice was full of anger: "This is the result of bringing too much anger to the court, the game is not like a game, it is like a group fight!" ”
Sui Dongliang casually continued: "Didn't you always say that football is a war in peacetime?" ”
"To win a war, can you expect a bunch of guys who are carried away by anger?" Zhang Xiaorui is really much bolder now, raising his chin and asking rhetorically, but there is no excitement in his voice.
Sui Dongliang took a moment, squinted his eyes and carefully looked at this little fat man who had not been in his eyes before. Didn't speak.
Zhu Guanghu clapped his hands and took away the attraction of everyone. His eyes swept around, "I read the report in the morning, and watched the game in the afternoon, you should all understand the meaning you want to express." In competitive competition, it is not difficult to provoke the opponent, but the real difficulty is not to be provoked by the opponent. Or be able to control your emotions in anger and turn your attention to the game instead of your opponent! ”
"Understood!" This time the sound was loud and tidy.
"These things are very difficult for you now, but if you don't have this mind. The upward space will be much narrower. The more easily provoked the opponent, the more people will try to provoke him, and no matter how high his talent is, he will be ruined by uncontrolled love! ”
It's not a long distance, but when they get off the bus, the teenagers suddenly feel as if they have walked a long way and seen a lot of scenery, their bodies are tired, but their hearts are bright!
――――
It actually makes sense for Zhu Guanghu to be so thoughtful.
Teenagers may have had the experience of playing at night, but not much.
If there is one word to describe its characteristics, it can only be "excited". Compared with the drowsiness in the morning, the normal play in the afternoon and the game in the evening are very likely to be extraordinary. This is especially true for outdoor competitions, which are truly in the spotlight on a big stage.
This general situation is supported by scientific research and countless examples, and the important matches are scheduled in the evening, not only for televised broadcasts, but also for the excitement of the games.
In a state of excitement, under the stimulation of extraordinary performance, and adding some pre-game condiments, the emotion is out of control, and it becomes a great hidden danger.
The island newspapers may have been unintentional, but the idea of reading the joke was on the page. The teenagers may not pay much attention to these bird words, but the always meticulous Director Zhu still feels that it is necessary to guard against the malicious guys!
It is impossible to keep the news covered, and it is impossible for the teenagers living in the ivory tower to be simple all the time, face the reality as soon as possible, take precautions, and learn to regulate their emotions as much as possible is the right way.
Now, it's time to accept the results!
It was past seven o'clock in the evening, more than ten minutes before the start of the game.
The girls of the women's football team gathered in Zhang Mei and Li Juan's room, chattering and discussing.
Zhang Mei didn't make a sound, feeling a little funny. These guys, after training every day, used to hate the most thing to come down and discuss something about football. Shopping, clothes, parents are their favorites, and even discussing needlework and cooking skills are much better than football.
As for the broadcast of the game, except for the mandatory requirements, no one cares about the others at all!
When did it start to change?
It seems that from the first time I watched their live game, until I saw the championship later, the atmosphere of the team began to quietly change.
It's like guys who have been confused in the dark all the time, and suddenly their eyes are attracted by the lighthouse in the distance. One by one, they saw the road under their feet, gradually gathered, held hands, and continued to walk forward with great interest.
Successful examples used to feel too far away, and only when they happened in front of their eyes did they really touch that kind of heartbeat. The feeling of being fascinated.
You Mo's photo of holding the championship trophy high in the cheers of thousands of people is now neatly framed by Li Juan, put it in a photo frame, and placed on the bedside table without fear of jealousy. But all kinds of photos of her and the guy in the photo were carefully treasured in the drawer, and they were not taken out for others to see.
The team members who have been paying attention to the relationship between the two have more or less listened to some rumors, although no one asked directly, but looking at her eyes is a little complicated.
But the older ones didn't think it was a big deal. Young people, the road is still long, and it is normal to have some emotional entanglements. Several veteran team members also said hello to Zhang Mei about this matter, and came down to talk to the other team members, which limited the rumors to their eyes.
Zhang Mei thought it was strange at first, this kind of thing had happened in the team before, and the rumors spread one version a day, until the person concerned couldn't bear it. In the end, there was a big fuss before it was called a day. That's it, the ending is still unfinished. It didn't take long for the people to leave.
Because of this incident, I was criticized at the time, and I was really wronged.
With such a small environment, such an eye-catching thing that makes people use their imagination, how could a group of gossip-loving girls stop the rumors because of a few words of persuasion from themselves?
The strange situation in front of me is really incomprehensible. Before I could act, someone took the initiative to say hello!
But strange is strange, with Zhang Mei's temperament, she won't take the initiative to ask.
It wasn't until today, when the TV screen shifted to the faces of the two familiar guys, that the screams that suddenly rang out in the room made her suddenly understand: these guys. Think of them as idols!
It's not right, idols, their girlfriends are the target of vomiting! It's good if you don't fall into the ground, how can it be used as an object of protection.
So what is it?
Zhang Mei, who didn't graduate from junior high school, couldn't think of the right words.
Well, this guy who used to train with him and often joked about it big or small, probably many people regard him as a good friend.
From the bottom of my heart, I hope that he will continue to make his heart beat faster and dizzy on a higher stage!
――――
Sunday night's prime-time live broadcast, with the world's top teams like France playing against them, has no doubt.
Before the start of the game, all kinds of media campaigns are also wave after wave, and the editors who have exhausted their imagination are eager to dig out the ancestral generations of each player and render it.
Of course, when it came to those two goods, they were decisively stuck.
This is also something that Liu Nan, the team reporter of "Sports", has been thinking about, and now all the people who pay attention to the game are stumped. The discussion also increased, and the interview was already on the way, just waiting for the game to end.
If you are still in the mood at that time.
The media, opponents, and inconsequential guys are all desperately fanning the flames, but Zhu Guanghu has been doing one thing in the past few days.
Cast a damp over!
It's still easy to wake up when you're scared, and it's not easy to calm down if your mind is overheated, especially for a teenager. The tactical arrangement before the game can be summed up in one word - "stable".
The combination of Li Tie and Shang Yi is a must, Li Jingyu retreated into a shadow striker, Lu Wei on the left, Sui Dongliang on the right, and the only single arrow You Mo, these people formed the midfield lineup.
According to the French team's not too tall stature and high frequency of ground attack density, the choice of central defenders did not continue the combination of Liu Lin and Zhang Yonghai, who continued the previous game, and was replaced by Zhang Ran, who is not tall but faster and more flexible.
The left and right wingbacks and goalkeepers are still Yang Xiaoping, Sun Zhi, and Li Jian from the previous game.
"The characteristic of the French team is 'fast', you can't experience this kind of speed off the field, and it's not obvious in the game video, except for the slow-motion replay, you can't see where the speed is." Today's last speech before the game was uncharacteristically carried out by Sun Benliang.
Old man Sun's voice was deep and deep, and at this time, there was a bit of subwoofer shock in the slightly empty player tunnel, "What you have to do in defense is to find these 'fast' points, interfere with them, and make them malfunction or slow down." The specific things are well experienced by yourself, the opponent who is excited enough is a rare sparring opponent, I hope that after this game, your defensive awareness will be on a higher level! ”
Such a powerful French team was actually called a "sparring opponent", everyone was a little stunned, and they all turned their heads and looked at the old man Sun who had always been happy.
The old man didn't care about the focused gaze of the teenagers, his eyes fixed on the distance, and the light at the exit of the players' tunnel after turning the corner.
In his eyes, there is some obsession and persistence.
Or, maybe there's some yearning. (To be continued......)
