Body 16.I am your captain
The day after the friendly match, various sports media outlets covered the match in a separate section.
The article in "The Athletic" is to the effect that Yang Lin, the main striker of the national team, scored a hat trick in the game and was in excellent condition. It seems that the athletic newspaper commented on the whole game from the perspective of the Guangzhou team, and at the same time affirmed the equalizer of the Changchun team.
"Pioneer Sports" commented on this game: The arrival of head coach Nan Mingzhu has made obvious changes to the entire FC Changchun team, although this is just an ordinary friendly match, but from the offensive and defensive ends of the Changchun team, there are indeed some new things integrated. It is expected that coach Nam Mingzhu can also lead the team to play well in the league.
The expression of "Sports Illustrated" is relatively simple, two pictures, one is the heroic posture of Yang Lin of the Guangzhou team with the ball on the field, and the accompanying text is: The big devil Yang Lin easily scored a hat trick, Guangzhou's trump card, China's hope. Another picture is Luo Tailai running to the audience excitedly after scoring a goal, with the accompanying text: Luo Tailai, the key gentleman of the Changchun team, will definitely be better as a player.
According to the schedule, the players of the team have a day off today, while the staff go to work normally. At this time, the staff of the club were commenting on the articles published by various media with relish, and it was clear that it was only a draw, but everyone acted as if the Changchun team had won.
Nan Mingzhu didn't stay in his office because he wanted to discuss with Lao Wang and them about the training arrangements for the start of the league later, but came to the coach's collective office area.
"Director Nan, I was contacted by "Pioneer Sports" just now and wanted to give you an interview." Xiao Guo excitedly ran over and told Nan Mingzhu.
"Yes, I just took office, the friendly match was tied with the four-time champion, and the media came to interview, these are all good signs." Lao Wang said happily.
"Uncle Wang, don't be sarcastic about me, there are still many things that need to be improved in our team. The last two friendly matches I just mentioned will be implemented after the end, and we still have a long way to go. Nan Mingzhu said modestly.
"Yes, yes, listen to you, listen to you." Teaching assistant Wang is now very convinced of Nan Mingzhu.
"Xiao Guo, push away the media interview." Nan Mingzhu turned her face and said to Xiao Guo seriously.
"Huh? Push it off? What a great opportunity. Xiao Guo didn't understand what Nan Mingzhu meant, not only Xiao Guo, but everyone else in the office also looked at Nan Mingzhu with amazement.
"Well, think for yourself, but don't offend the media. We didn't achieve anything at all, we just barely drew a friendly game, so there's nothing to show off. "Nan Mingzhu was a little angry when he said this, and sometimes some praise from the media is the easiest to make the team lose itself." Go back and tell all the players in the team to get in the right position, train hard, and don't feel how good you are. ”
After listening to this, the people present also seemed to wake up a little, indeed, it was just a draw, and they were a little complacent, which is not good. So everyone straightened their attitudes and continued to work seriously.
"You guys are busy first, I'll go back to the office to watch the video, by the way, Xiao Guo, if it's inconvenient for me to deal with the media in the future, I'll have to rely on you." Nan Mingzhu walked over and patted Xiao Guo on the shoulder, then turned around and pushed the door out.
Although the first friendly was a draw, the players gained far more than those three goals. One of the most important is that their self-confidence is slowly improving. As long as a player becomes confident on the pitch, it reduces the chance of mistakes.
The next two friendly matches are two upstream teams from the First Division, which have a certain level in the First Division, but there is still a gap between the overall strength and the Changchun team.
Of course, the reason for choosing such an opponent is the same as when the Guangzhou team chose the Changchun team.
FC Changchun achieved 2:0 and 3:1 results respectively in these two friendly matches, and on the whole it was still satisfactory to Nan Mingzhu. Whether young or old, they are the valuable assets of the Changchun team and their weapons for the new season.
Throughout the winter transfer window, the Changchun team was the most shabby one, as they did not bring in a single signing. Even the two first-division teams that have just been promoted have a few reinforcements.
The players know that the team has not achieved good results year after year, and it is good to be able to do it without losing money. Only with good results in the new season can we get more sponsorship, attract more fans, and have more funds for the team to improve.
So everyone is working hard and wants to do a big job in the new season.
Some people are busy in the office, while others are consciously practicing on the training ground.
Looking at the time, it is now ten o'clock in the evening, it is already very late, Nan Mingzhu is sorting out the information of the opponent in the new season, and the new season will start in two days.
"Ahh It's finally almost done. Nan Mingzhu stretched, closed the computer, and rubbed her eyes. Then she grabbed two bottles of water, walked out of the office, and went to the training ground.
At this time, there was still a person on the training ground doing training, and I saw this person dribbling the ball from the backfield, quickly breaking through the midfield, and shooting from a distance of thirty or forty meters from the goal, and the football went into the net.
This scene is the same as the friendly match against the Guangzhou team, yes, this person is Luo Tailai, who has to train himself until late after the team's training every day. Because Nan Mingzhu lives in a club, she naturally knows about it.
"Let's take a sip of water." Nam Mingzhu walked over and threw a bottle of water at Luo Tailai.
"Haven't you rested yet?" Luo Tailai asked.
"No, three friendly matches, two wins and one draw, but there are still many problems to analyze." Nan Mingzhu said and rubbed his shoulder, which was a little sore.
"The league is about to start, I don't know what's going on, I'm feeling a little nervous." Luo Tailai took a sip of water and said slowly.
"Yes, I'm a little nervous. After all, this is my first team, my first season. Nan Mingzhu said.
"If you don't get good grades, you may have to leave class in the middle of the class." Luo Tailai said half-jokingly.
"Oh? Are you worried about me? ”
"I'm worried about the team." Luo Tailai turned around and looked at the training ground. 'These players are good players you can rely on, and with them on the pitch and around me, I feel grounded.'
"As far as I know, the Changchun team has always had a good player to rely on, a player who has led them through a difficult season, brought them together in the most difficult times, he has lifted everyone's morale and guided everyone's direction. With him, all the players on the field will feel steady! Nan Mingzhu said sentence by sentence, but these words seemed so warm in this cold night.
Hearing this, Luo Tailai's body was shocked, and he slowly turned around, only to see a white cloth ball flying towards him. Luo Tailai took it easily, and the familiar material made him a little dazed for a moment.
'Obey me on the pitch, understand exactly what I want and convey it to the players, and then feed everything back to me on the pitch. That's what I'm asking you to do. ”
"What you asked me to do......" Luo Tailai held the captain's armband of the FC Changchun team, repeating what Nan Mingzhu had just said.
"If you dare not listen to me, then I will not spare you! My Captain! Nan Mingzhu said cruel words, but the corners of his mouth rose, leaving Luo Tailai with a smile in the city.
Although the lights outside were dim, Luo Tailai saw Nan Mingzhu's face clearly, and for a moment, he was stunned. It wasn't until Nan Mingzhu had left for a long time that he reacted.
"Well, I'm your captain!" Luo Tailai clenched the captain's armband in his hand.
