vs 49 Rays of hope

"On the evening of the race, on the way back to Genoa, Mr. Gasperini and I talked all the way." Chen Zhuo said: "Frankly speaking, a team has the first captain, the second captain and sometimes the fifth captain, I didn't know what it meant before, but yesterday the coach told me, I have a deeper experience." β
Assistant coach Zeng Weizhong listened to Chen Zhuo while interpreting in English to Baggio, because the players and staff of the Hong Kong team are all proficient in Chinese and English, and Baggio is also able to master Italian, English, Portuguese and other languages, so Baggio did not require a special language interpreter.
"You should have noticed from the beginning when you were in the stands, Milan's style of play is different from what we expected, Ronaldo is not on the field, Pirlo is no longer the hub of Milan's entire attack, compared to the video analysis we saw when we did the deployment last week, Milan has more runs in this game, and the control of the ball is also very emphasized......" Chen Zhuo will use the remote control to press pause or backward from time to time to replay, and then explain the details of various runs to the players.
On Monday, Baggio did not arrange a warm-up match, it was all tactical theory explanation and discussion time, and the players, coaching staff and Chen Zhuo reviewed yesterday's game against Milan in Genoa, and made a detailed analysis of the tactics of the two sides and the running position of each attack and defense.
This kind of theory-oriented training has rarely or almost never been attended by the players of the Hong Kong team before, and the training of previous coaches has been more on the court, but Baggio's training is the most unique.
When receiving this kind of theoretical explanation. The players are still very serious, but no one has discussed it with Chen Zhuo yet, and occasionally one or two players will raise their hands for Chen Zhuo to repeat it, and there are some things that they have not been able to fully understand.
From Baggio's point of view, it is obviously a luxury to let the players of the Hong Kong team have a high tactical literacy now, and it is very good that Chen Zhuo's review can really remember 20%!
However, Baggio sees this type of training as a kind of "edification", gradually cultivating an interest in tactics, and then making post-match tactical theory analysis a habit, day after day, year after year. Reinvent your mind!
Players who have developed this habit in the Hong Kong team. Gradually, this habit will be passed on and spread, and gradually those young players who want to be selected for the Hong Kong team will begin to work hard in this aspect, and over time, the tactical literacy of the entire Hong Kong football circle will be improved.

"It's so late, I'm just done!" When I received a call from Heidi. It was already half past eleven in the evening. Chen Zhuo had just returned to his residence to finish washing.
"You don't either. I guess I've just been back for a while! Heidi was slightly tired in tone.
"yes!" Chen Zhuo lay on the bed, stretched comfortably, and said to Heidi with tiredness: "It was originally a rest day. Interviews in the morning, indoor training in the afternoon, and tactical discussions in the evening, it's really busy! What about you, watch your text messages in Greece, Athens? β
"It was morning, huh." Heidi smiled wryly and said, "It's in Skopje now." β
"Si ......" Chen Zhuo didn't hear clearly.
"Skopje, Macedonia, and the branch are also about the branch, isn't it the economic downturn recently, and the affordable supermarkets that we, the civilians, have been hit hard, alas...... Every economic crisis is a redistribution of wealth, a ......shearing of the poor by the rich on the poor," Heidi chatted with emotion and chattered with Chen Zhuo.
Chen Zhuo also listened to Heidi's voice with his eyes closed, it was still so good, although Chen Zhuo didn't particularly understand what Heidi said about wealth redistribution and sheep shearing now, but he could roughly understand the meaning.
βPattonοΌ Asleep? Heidi asked.
Chen Zhuo said: "No, listen to you, I can't particularly pick it up, so I can only listen like this." β
"Hehe, I just have to take care of my own nagging, I haven't asked you yet, how are you doing, it's quite haode." Heidi asked.
"It's good, did you watch yesterday's game?" Chen Zhuo asked.
"Look, was your Zuihou kick intentional or unintentional?" Heidi asked with a smile.
Chen Zhuo laughed: "That kick, in fact, I made Garson ......"
Just chatting so ramblingly, Zuihou Heidi thought of the "news" that Chen Zhuo said, and asked Chen Zhuo which news it was, there are too many news about Chen Zhuo, and there is also a lot of news about Heidi and their company, Heidi really doesn't know which one Chen Zhuo is talking about.
"Oh? Is there such a statement? Heidi was also stunned, it was obvious that she didn't know about it, but Heidi did not rule out that there were family members involved in the planning of this matter.
After chatting for more than an hour, the call was not interrupted until Heidi's mobile phone battery ran out of two, this time the two seemed to be much more natural, and Heidi did not deliberately avoid it as when they first separated, but both of them avoided asking about the current family and relationship matters of both parties, although both parties knew that the other party actually wanted to understand.

"Team A, goalkeeper Liang Xingjie, Team B, Ye Honghui!"
In the intra-team competition that Chen Zhuo participated in on Tuesday morning, Baggio asked Chen Zhuo to announce the group list, and by the way, let him get more familiar with his teammates.
Both goalkeepers were the starting goalkeepers in the Hong Kong Professional League, with Leung Hing Kit playing for Wanderers and Yip Hung Fai playing for Hong Kong's local giants South China.
Liang Xingjie was born in 1989 and Ye Honghui was born in 1990, and both players are 1.80 meters tall.
The height of 1.80 meters is indeed too short for a goalkeeper, but among the players of the right age, the goal line Jishu and the timing of the attack are outstanding, and he is very similar to Ou Chuliang of the previous Chinese football team.
Ye Honghui is good at saving penalty kicks, in the 2009 East Asian Games, the Hong Kong team eliminated North Korea on penalties in the semi-finals, Ye Honghui saved a penalty kick from the opponent, and in the penalty shootout in the final, Ye Honghui saved the penalty of the Japanese team. helped the Hong Kong team win the Gold Cup in history, and after this campaign, Ye Honghui was also called "Hero Hui" by his teammates.
"Team A defenders, Chen Zhuo, Xie Jiaqiang, Garson ......"
Baggio is still arranging the 3-5-1-1 formation introduced by Chen Zhuo when he was in Hong Kong, and now he has also adopted Chen Zhuo's suggestion, arranging two sweeping marking central defenders between the sweepers and the double midfielders, trying to create this defensive system to strengthen the Hong Kong team's back.
The purpose of arranging Chen Zhuo to play as a lagging central defender is to allow Chen Zhuo to demonstrate to the Hong Kong players that they can watch Chen Zhuo's running, filling in and integrating the command line through calls when playing as a lagging central defender.
Let Garson start at centre-back. It was also Baggio who allowed the Hong Kong players to observe and learn from it up close. In a truly stereotyped lineup, Garson is not actually in this position.
Among the two marking centre-backs, the other is Manchester City's reserve team player Xie Jiaqiang, who has half British ancestry, and is obviously much more athletic than Asian players. 1.85 meters tall and 77 kg in weight. and training camps at Manchester City. Xie Jiaqiang is also a very good choice in Baggio's "three central defenders" tactic.
Although Xie Jiaqiang played as a marking central defender in Manchester City, he was still asked by Baggio to focus on observing and learning from Chen Zhuo, and now Baggio also wants to observe to see if Xie Jiaqiang is qualified as a scavenger.
There are only two European players participating in the Hong Kong team's joint training this week, except for Chen Zhuo and Garson. Hamburg's Lin Zhijian, Manchester City's reserve Xie Jiaqiang, Heerenveen's Rong Aping in the Eredivisie and Bobbiby Wood at Munich 1860 in the Bundesliga have not been granted leave this week and will not be able to participate in joint training until next week, when it is a European national team break.
After all, Lin Zhijian and Xie Jiaqiang are only reserve team players, and there is still a gap between them and first-team players in terms of ball skills and tactical understanding, and their level is not particularly different from Hong Kong local players, but in terms of physical fitness, Lin Zhijian and Xie Jiaqiang are indeed a lot better than Hong Kong players.

Team B's Baggio is also a back three, also two sweeping marking centre-backs and a drag-back centre-back.
I'm afraid that the lagging central defender who started in the B team is called Su Weiquan, the player of Tianshuiwei Pegasus and Xie Jiaqiang, will pick out a lagging central defender who will eventually serve as the starting center back of the Hong Kong team, and Baggio did not want to put Chen Zhuo in this position.
Of course, the best candidate in Baggio's mind is Heerenveen's Rong Aping, but Rong Aping still has the possibility of being selected for the Dutch senior team, if the Dutch team recruits Rong Aping into the team in the European qualifiers next week, then Yung Aping will also give up the opportunity to participate in the Hong Kong team, which is understandable for a footballer.
Su Weiquan, who was born in 1988, is 1.82 meters tall, as tall as Chen Zhuo, but he is much thinner in terms of weight, only 67 kilograms, and at present, at the request of Baggio, Su Weiquan is strengthening his muscles, according to Baggio's requirements, Su Weiquan should gradually increase his weight to about 75 kilograms according to Jihua, such a body shape will make Su Weiquan more powerful in the position of scavenger.
One of the marking central defenders of the B team is Zhai Tingfeng, who is only 1.75 meters tall, and Zhai Tingfeng did not even participate in the 2009 East Asian Games, which was a "discovery" of Baggio in training.
Zhai Junfeng is a player of the Four Seas Wanderers, who can play two fullbacks on the left and right in the team, active and fierce in defense, and the side assist is also very powerful, belonging to the Hong Kong team's slight physical haode "can't run to death", the reason why he did not participate in the 2009 East Asian Games was because he was injured in the league.
Although the height is slightly insufficient, when making a tactical attempt at "sweeping" marking central defenders, Baggio still left one of the two starting marking central defenders to Zhai Tingfeng, here let Garson and Xie Jiaqiang be in team A, and let Zhai Tingfeng go to team B, just so that he can watch and figure out more about Garson and Xie Jiaqiang's proposals.
Another marking central defender Xia Zhiming is Zhai Tingfeng's teammate in the four seas, although Xia Zhiming, who is 1.81 meters tall, is better than Zhai Tingfeng in terms of height and weight, but the ferocity still needs to be strengthened, and he is also one of the players who Baggio has done special targeted training.
In addition to the starters of the two teams, Zeng Jintao, who was 1.75 meters on the bench, and Bai Rongze, who was 1.68 meters, both belonged to the type of jishu who was delicate but had poor physical fitness and was not good at confrontation, and they were all arranged by Chen Zhuo to strengthen their foundations.
The reason why I want to bring the players of the Hong Kong team to Europe for a month is because in Hong Kong, these players still have to participate in club competitions, and they do not have the time and energy to do a lot of targeted basic training arranged by Baggio, although Baggio has formulated a "28-day rapid" physical training jihua, but it must also have at least 28 days of systematic scientific training, so there is this European training.
This kind of training also did joint training with the players of the European League, and also took care of the time of Chen Zhuo and Garson, killing multiple birds with one stone.

The A team is a double back is Lin Zhijian of the Hamburg reserve team, and Xu Deshuai, who is 23 years old and 1.79 meters tall and plays for Hong Kong South China.
Xu Deshuai is also an immigrant player, Xu Deshuai was born in the Dalian Shide academy in 2004 and 2005 as a substitute midfielder for Dalian Shide, and later moved to the Hong Kong Professional League, in the 2009 East Asian Games 4-1 victory over South Korea, one of the goals was scored by Xu Deshuai.
The front waist is also arranged by an immigrant player from the Dalian Shide Youth Academy, Ju Yingzhi.
The two wingbacks on the left and right of Team A, namely Guo Jianbang (1.69 meters) and Ouyang Yaochong (1.73 meters), two players who went to Tottenham Hotspur for trial but were not selected due to their thin bodies, are currently under the request of Baggio to strengthen their physical fitness and muscle training through systematic training and nutritional improvement.
The two forwards of Team A are both overage players, the center Chen Zhaoqi is the most popular candidate for this year's Footballer of the Year, and the shadow striker William Lee is the 2009 Hong Kong Footballer of the Year.
According to Baggio's Jihua, if the Netherlands' Rong Ah Ping can be finalized, plus Lin Zhijian and Xie Jiaqiang, who have confirmed their return and started to enter the operation and registration process, together with Chen Zhuo and Garson, with the addition of these five players, the Hong Kong team's tactical puzzle in the Asian Games and Asian Cup basically has quasi-first-class strength!
Among the strong teams in Asia, Japan and South Korea do not attach importance to the Asian Games, and the Asian Cup also depends on the host city, basically in Asia, and the Asian Cup is held in East Asian countries or West Asian countries, which basically determines the general direction of the championship.
For the four teams representing the "first group" in Asia, Japan and South Korea in East Asia and Iran and Saudi Arabia in West Asia, the comprehensive strength of the Hong Kong team is not enough to compete with them for the time being, but if the tactics are used properly, it cannot be said that there is no hope at all to win the semi-finals of the Asian Games and even the Asian Cup!
In Baggio's view, the current Hong Kong football is at a very low level, whether it is the league or the regional team, although wearing a professional coat, but the technical and tactical level is amateur, Hong Kong First Division and Italy or Germany C League level is about the same.
However, it is precisely because of the low level that the room for improvement is large enough, and the progress is fast enough! Although this is unbelievable, just like the Japanese women's volleyball team and the Chinese women's volleyball team have dominated the shijie volleyball world, who believes it before they do it?
