Chapter 304: The Thai People's Greatest Enemy!
"We're going to overwhelm our opponents in momentum!"
Wan Sheng looked at everyone seriously and said seriously, "Football is not only about tactics and ability, but also about momentum and fighting spirit!" ”
"I believe that any of you have a fighting spirit, you all want the team to do well in the Asian Cup, and everyone wants to perform well, that's the fighting spirit! But it's not enough to have fighting spirit, we need to play with momentum. ”
"What is momentum? It was a spirit, a feeling. Specifically, we are not afraid of our opponents in the game, but let them be afraid of us! ”
This explanation is novel.
Everyone listened attentively, even Ronaldo and David Beckham, who were 'on the sidelines'.
Wan Sheng continued, "I've already told you about the Thai style of play. They play a rough style, which is something that teams in Southeast Asia have, and we have to admit that we have that as well. ”
Wan Sheng already knows a thing or two about the Thai team.
As the image representative of Southeast Asian teams, Thai players also have the bad habits of Southeast Asian football - the style of football is dirty and rude, they have a lot of small actions on the field, and they are experienced in this area, often taking advantage of the uncalm of the opposing players to cause the opponent to attrition.
In particular, they are good at looking at the face of the referee on duty and taking advantage of the referee's loopholes.
Despite the lack of a strong Thai team, some tricks such as exaggerated injuries and clever delays often leave young opponents with little experience in the game feeling overwhelmed.
In comparison, football in Hong Kong is cleaner, but it's not much better.
For example, in the current group of players, when they play normally, there are a lot of small actions, and the more experienced players are also very good at making small actions in the game, if they are violated. There will also be exaggerated performances.
Sometimes when they do this, it still feels very funny, but I have to say that it can confuse the referee on duty, and the effect is still very significant.
In fact, this is due to the strength of the team, in various teams around the world, the poor team generally has similar problems, in order to play a subtle match, if you want to win, you have to play tougher.
Wansheng does not advocate 'unclean' football, but if the opponent does. He doesn't mind his players doing the same.
But Wan Sheng didn't talk about this, he continued to explain, "To play momentum, you don't just rely on small actions, or praise performances, I don't advocate this, those are just small means, if you want to play momentum, just rely on small means." Sometimes it's counterproductive. ”
"We need to rely on a tough style of play."
"I've been tough a lot, maybe some of you don't understand, so I'll talk specifically about what to do in the game."
"Three o'clock!"
Wan Sheng said and held out a finger, "First point." We have to be more resolute, no matter what choice we make in the game, don't hesitate to pass the ball when we need to. Shoot when you need to shoot, and be decisive in everything you do, which will make the coordination more fluid. It also appears to be more targeted. ”
"The second point."
Wan Sheng stretched out two fingers and said, "About the shot." If you have a chance in front, shoot directly, don't hesitate, don't think about the chance, kick hard, even if you can't score, let the opponent know that it's great! ”
"If the opposing player blocks with his body and kicks hard, don't be afraid of anything, come a few times to see if they are afraid!"
Hearing this, many players felt chills in their hearts.
The same is true for Beckham and the two next to him, imagine that the Hong Kong team really does this in the game, and the Thai players really have to be careful.
Wan Sheng doesn't matter what the players think, the game is to play with momentum, how to play is just a means, the process, "The third point, I want to say is to fight, to play tougher, more manly!" Got it? Don't be afraid to ask for the other party, don't be afraid of fouls, as long as you pay attention to doing some actions that may eat cards, you will rush up and fight hard with the other party. ”
"I believe that our strength is not weaker than the other side, as long as we can do the above three points, play with momentum, and make the other party afraid of us, then we will win half of the victory."
Wan Sheng said and looked at everyone.
After everyone digested it for a while, he continued, "You must remember what I said, I don't want to see any of you play like a in tomorrow's game, and I will definitely replace you when the time comes!" ”
"Don't think about winning or losing, just play seriously according to tactics, I believe we will win!"
"Tomorrow night, I hope we can celebrate the early qualification. Until then, you don't have to think about anything, and I don't want to hear anyone interviewed by the media say anything, understand? ”
The team members all nodded.
Wan Sheng looked at the high-spirited spirit of the whole team, and then nodded with satisfaction and announced the disbandment.
――――
Wan Sheng commented on the tactics of the game and did not avoid Ronaldo and Beckham, who had been listening.
Beckham plays under Wansheng and has a lot of trust in Wansheng's ability, and he doesn't think so, Ronaldo is different.
The 'aliens' have some complaints about Wan Sheng.
The training plan that Wan Sheng formulated for him was only carried out for one day, but there was too much training content on it, and the amount of training in one day almost reached his limit, and he barely completed sixty percent of the training volume, and he couldn't do it anymore.
Ronaldo didn't think this would have any effect, and naturally questioned Wansheng's other abilities.
It's like the tactics just explained by Wan Sheng, in Ronaldo's view, this is too simple, and after saying it for a long time, it sums it up, "the game should be played tough......
And then, there was no more.
As for how to do it in the game, except for some suggestions, it all depends on the player's performance, and no matter how you think about it, it feels very unreliable.
If that's all the coach has to say, he's perfectly capable of coaching.
So Ronaldo is not optimistic about tomorrow's match between Hong Kong and Thailand, and after returning to the hotel, he also said to Beckham, "David, I think the team with 10,000 wins tomorrow will definitely lose." ”
"Why do you say that?" Beckham was a little confused.
"If you look at the tactics he laid out today, he has always emphasized toughness, toughness, and it all depends on the player's performance, what effect can that have? As far as I know, the strength of the Hong Kong team is not at all comparable to Thailand's, how many chances can there be if you go head-on? In my opinion, he is far worse than Bosque......" Ronaldo said his thoughts.
Beckham only smiled. "We're just new to the team, we don't know the situation, Luiz, you shouldn't be so decisive. I played for Manchester City from January to May, I know him very well, and unlike you, I think Hong Kong is very promising. ”
"Oh? Why? Ronaldo asked confusedly.
"Because he's Wansheng."
"Huh? What the? ”
"He's Wansheng." Beckham said with a look of trust, "He's Wansheng." He's very capable, I believe in him, I even think he's better than Mr. Ferguson......"
"Ferguson? David, you're crazy! ”
"I'm serious." Beckham said: "As much as I respect Mr Alex Ferguson, I do think he is better and that's what I've learned the most in my five months at Manchester City. In his team, everyone trusts him. He's going to help the players get fit and they've been doing better in games lately. Moreover, he has a lot of tactical ability, in the Premier League. Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, Mr. Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, plus Liverpool, Arsenal and other teams, were all defeated by him one by one. It's rare to have the upper hand against him, you get the idea? Louis? ”
Ronaldo shook his head, "I don't understand. The only thing I know is. David, you have been deceived by him. But I don't care if they win, I'm here to lose weight, but the weight loss plan he gave is so tiring that I don't know if it works. ”
"Luis, you have to have more faith. It's only been a day, isn't it? Beckham persuaded, "I believe Wansheng, since he said that it will be effective in a short time, it will definitely be effective, you can train for a few days and then see." ”
"Okay."
Ronaldo sighed, although he still didn't believe it, but for the sake of his friend's face, let's stay for a few more days.
――――
On July 12, in the final stage of the Asian Cup, Group A ushered in the second round of matches.
There are two matches on this day, in addition to the matches between Thailand and Hong Kong, China, and one is Vietnam against Qatar in Group B.
Normally, there would be little to watch in either game, as Thailand, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Qatar are not the highlights of the Asian Cup, but Wan Sheng's coaching of Hong Kong has changed all that, and Hong Kong, China's victory over Australia, has attracted more attention and the match between Hong Kong and Thailand has attracted a lot of attention.
Before the game, Thailand coach Chavit and Hong Kong coach Wan Sheng both gave interviews to the media.
For Thailand, the game is very important.
The match against Hong Kong, China is not only about Thailand's qualification from Group A, but also about an embarrassing football history in Thailand.
Looking at the history of the Thai team in the finals of the Asian Cup, it is not difficult to find that the team has reached the final five times, in 1972, 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004.
Thailand were the host in 1972, and they finished third in the history of the Asian Cup.
In addition, in 1976, the Thai team made it out of the qualifiers, but withdrew from the final stage.
In the last four editions of the tournament, Thailand has become a regular in the last four editions of the tournament with the expansion of the number of teams participating in the final stage of the Asian Cup, with only two draws in 1992 and 2000 and all eight group stage defeats.
Even in 1972, the Thai team with the advantage of the host country won the third place, and the Thais did not win a single game in 90 minutes, which is the most embarrassing part of the Thai team - it is hard to imagine that the Thai team has reached the Asian Cup finals many times, but did not win in 90 minutes.
In this Asian Cup, the tone set by the Thai team is, "At least achieve a breakthrough in winning the Asian Cup!" ”
In the last match against Iraq, the Thai team only drew in the end, and the next game against Australia, the strongest team in the group, the Thai people will not have much confidence.
Then this match with the Hong Kong team is the most promising, the Thai team hopes to beat the Hong Kong team, then they can get 4 points, complete the 'historic breakthrough' at the same time, but also be able to gain an advantage in the group points, which is conducive to successfully qualifying in the group stage and entering the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup as the host.
Thailand coach Savit in an interview. He also touched on the topic, "We want to win and end the embarrassing record in Thai football history. ”
"This game is the most promising. The opponents are not weak, they just won against Australia, but the team is full of fighting spirit, and it will be good for us to play on home soil, and I am sure we can get the final victory! ”
The confidence expressed by Thailand coach Savit has delighted the Thai media and fans, who are expecting the team to achieve the set goals.
But as an opponent, Wansheng is not interested in this.
When a reporter talked about what Sawit said. Wan Sheng's expression became very serious, and then he said seriously, "Each of us should have enough respect for the achievements of Thai football, participating in five Asian Cups, and none of them won in 90 minutes, this kind of record is not easy to achieve, and it is difficult for other teams to break it." ”
"It's a great achievement! I really hope that the Thai team can continue to do so so next time in the Asian Cup. Let's just say how amazing the Thai team is, they have played in six Asian Cups without a single win. That's very respectable......"
After Wan Sheng finished speaking solemnly, he ignored the stunned reporter and walked away directly.
He had barely stepped out the door when he heard a burst of laughter erupting from behind. The laughter was mixed with the gnashing of teeth and angry scolding from Thai media reporters.
Wan Sheng shrugged indifferently and walked straight to the away team's locker room on the pitch.
The team's warm-up is almost over, and he has to return to the dressing room to make the final arrangements for the team.
――――
Rajamangala Stadium.
The first match of the second leg of the Asian Group A. The match between the host Thailand and Hong Kong, China has begun.
As soon as the game began, both teams let go of their hands and feet to start a fierce scramble, and the continuous conversion of possession also made the game particularly intense.
Watching the game on the field, the Thai media and fans are gritting their teeth.
Before the game, Wan Sheng's words had already reached the ears of Thai fans, and it was obvious that Wan Sheng was satirizing Thai football with Thailand's embarrassing record of 'entering the Asian Cup 5 times and failing to win 5 times'.
Thai fans have a good impression of Wansheng, one is that Wansheng is very famous, he is a world-class coach, among the sixteen coaches of the Asian Cup, he is definitely the most famous, and the other is that Manchester City has become a club controlled by a Thai consortium.
So the Thais were very kind to Wan Sheng and included him in the scope of 'their own people'.
But now, Wan Sheng has become the biggest enemy of the Thai people!
This Chinese actually dares to use the most embarrassing record of Thai football as a means to refute the statement of Thai coach Chavit, which is simply intolerable!
"Isn't it just luck to win Australia, what's the big deal!" The Thai media gritted their teeth and thought that some of the reporters who attended the pre-match press conference remembered the sneering looks of their counterparts from other countries after Wan Sheng's departure.
Unforgettable!
"Gotta win! When we win the game, we'll see what this damn guy is going to do! The Thai media are thinking.
At the same time, Thai fans echoed it.
On the playing field, whenever the Hong Kong players got the ball, the Thai fans wantonly let out 'boo' sounds, and they wanted to influence the performance of the Hong Kong players.
But the Thais were disappointed.
Even the Thai media had to admit that at least in the first ten minutes of the game, Hong Kong, China did not have a disadvantage on the field, they and the Thai team fought fiercely, the two sides scramble, ball control, shooting, etc., the data are similar, with the current performance of Hong Kong, China, it is completely impossible to see where they are weaker than the Thai team.
――――
Watching the game on the field, Thailand coach Savit was surprised.
Before the game, the Thai team also did a lot of preparation for the game, and Chavit also studied the match between Hong Kong and Australia, Hong Kong showed tenacity, they almost put all their energy into defence, and relied on the late time, striker Zhuo Zhuo scored a goal to win the match against Australia.
In terms of the Hong Kong team's style of play, there is nothing surprising in fact, it is just a defensive counterattack, and there is some luck in winning the game.
In addition, Chavit also carefully studied the strength of various players in Hong Kong.
Overall, this is a semi-amateur team, and it has not reached a very professional level, especially some of the young players in the team, some of whom have an annual salary similar to that of ordinary workers, and there is nothing surprising in terms of strength.
No matter how you compare, the Thai team is much better than the Hong Kong team.
It is with this research that Chatvet believes that Hong Kong will continue to stick to the counter-attacking tactics as long as they have the best chance of picking up points.
But now the game is the opposite!
Hong Kong, China has no intention of defending and counterattacking at all, and they come up to compete with Thailand for control of the midfield, and it seems that they want to fight with Thailand.
The opponent's style of play is really unexpected.
But Chavit felt that the opponent's brainless fight was the most beneficial to the Thai team, and the opponent's strength was not as good as the Thai team, because scoring goals and even winning in this way would not be a problem.
As for the equal play between the other party and the Thai team, there is no disadvantage, Chavit doesn't care, in his opinion, the other party is just relying on a momentum, the momentum cannot last a whole game, and as soon as the momentum disappears, the rest of the time will be Thai.
Chavit made a judgment and sat in the coach's seat with peace of mind.
He felt like the game was under control.
