Chapter 316: Racers and Gasoline

On the second day of the match against Iraq, the Asian Cup and other games were suspended for a day, but Hong Kong, China did not rest and continued to train and prepare normally.

As Wan Sheng said, it is not yet time to celebrate the group qualification, and they still have to continue to work hard and strive to go further.

There are no rest days, and no players will complain, for Hong Kong players, every step is now creating a miracle of Hong Kong football, the whole of Hong Kong, even including many domestic fans, are watching them, supporting them, can perform more in the Asian Cup, no matter how much effort is worth it, not to mention, training in the past few days, every player is full of spirit into the preparation.

Due to yesterday's game, the whole team consumed a lot of energy, and this day was mainly for recovery training.

Wansheng has prepared a training plan for each player in advance, which includes all the training for the next three days, some of which are for physical recovery, some players have to do individual training, and a large part of them are for continuing to carry out tactical coordination training.

After nearly a month of training and competition, most of the players in Hong Kong, China have not been able to effectively improve their physical abilities, and only a limited number of players can still improve a little bit in the confrontation, and others can only improve quickly in terms of technical attributes.

In this regard, Wansheng does not intend to let the players come into contact.

One of the important reasons is that the effect of improving the technical ability attribute is not very obvious, for example, a player, after a few days of training, shooting ability, or dribbling ability to improve "1", but this is reflected in the game, it can be said that it is meaningless, unless the whole team as a whole greatly improves, otherwise it is not effective at all.

Therefore, the individual training of the players in the whole team is actually based on physical attributes and abilities.

The physical attribute ability has almost improved, and the important point has become the tactical coordination ability.

Under the 'Collaboration' skill effect. The whole team is already familiar with the chain defense system, and with the foundation of defense, the most effective means of improvement is to let the team adapt to some offensive routines.

This aspect of training, Hong Kong players still feel very novel.

Almost all of the players in the team are at the bottom of professional football, and when they play in clubs, most of the training they are exposed to is very simple, and they rarely adapt to the training that matches the routine.

To this end, Wansheng formulated a few simple matching routines, so that Diamares and Fan Zhiyi led the team to familiarize themselves.

He hopes to be in the quarterfinals before. If the players in the team are familiar with these routines, then when it comes to playing against Vietnam, the team will be able to play better offensively and score more goals.

After arranging the training plan and explaining the training content in detail, Wan Sheng completely handed over the training to others, and he himself sat leisurely and watched.

That's how the coaching staff work together.

Wan Sheng is like the 'director' of the coaching staff, he is the boss and the No.1. He has a lot of work to do, to develop a training plan, to lead the team to play, to boost the morale of the team. He also had to do everything else, but after doing that, he didn't care about it at all, and the team was completely carried out by a few assistant coaches.

After a day of training. The whole team has recovered, and the next day the training for tactical coordination officially began.

At this point, Wansheng is more inclined.

This was also the 'good luck' of the whole team of Hong Kong, China, because Hong Kong, China won Group A in the Thailand division. The venue of their quarter-finals match with Vietnam is still the Rajamangala National Stadium, and they will not change the training venue, as if they were the home team, just waiting for Vietnam to come.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wan Sheng left Thailand by plane and went to Malaysia.

Group C, the last group stage match between the Chinese team and Uzbekistan is about to begin, Wansheng was invited by Central TV5 to explain the game as a special guest and the host.

After getting off the plane, the staff of Central TV came to pick up the plane, and when we arrived at the studio area specially arranged for Central TV in the stadium, the game was about to start in half an hour.

CCTV has already started broadcasting the matches live.

Wan Sheng packed up, came to the studio area to sit down, and was about to ask something when the camera suddenly switched.

Wan Sheng was a little caught off guard, and the commentator Liu Jianhong immediately smiled, "Let's see who is coming?" As he spoke, the camera pointed straight ahead.

Wan Sheng wiped his hair with his hand instead, and said with a smile, "I'm really shocked, please forgive me for my bad image, I just came from the airport." ”

"It's okay, I think the fans in front of the TV will forgive you." Liu Jianhong said to the camera, "Maybe in front of the TV, there are still some fans and friends who don't know much, so I'll introduce, on my right, the guest invited to today's game is the head coach of the Premier League Manchester City club, Wan Sheng, at the end of the season in May, Wan Sheng was invited to temporarily take over Hong Kong, China, and has led Hong Kong, China to appear as the first in Group A, and they will face Vietnam in the quarterfinals......"

"Today, Wansheng was invited to be a guest on CCTV to explain China's match against Uzbekistan."

After Liu Jianhong finished the introduction, he said to Wansheng, "According to the reaction of many media and fans, you don't have many interviews, and at the request of many fans, I want to conduct an on-site interview with you, is it okay?" ”

"Of course, I'm here for an interview, and if I'm still shy at this time, I should wear a hat to cover my face." Wan Sheng joked.

"You're so humorous, I think the fans will like it. So, Wansheng, can you talk about the experience of leading the team? As we all know, Hong Kong is not a strong team, it is one of the last teams in Asia, so how did you lead Hong Kong to defeat Australia, Thailand and Iraq in Group A? In my opinion, these achievements can really be described as 'miracles'. ”

Wan Sheng thought for a moment and said, "I think the secret is firmness. On the first day of training, I told the players that you must be firm, have firm beliefs, and have a tenacious spirit. ”

"We've been training hard, we've only had one day off since we started preparing for the game, and that's after we played Thailand and decided to qualify, and during that time, our main training content was confrontation and fitness, which is what the team lacks. On the other hand, the technical aspect is not really important. ”

"Everybody persevered and kept going for the whole game, that's the most important thing, and I've always believed that there is no such thing as an opponent who can't be beaten, just work hard!"

Wan Sheng said in general terms, but he understood the general meaning.

Liu Jianhong nodded and said, "Now the results of Hong Kong, China prove that your work is very successful." ”

"Thank you."

"So now. Let's go back to the topic of this game, Wan Sheng, a lot of media are rumoring, you are very good at predicting the game, so now can you predict the score of this game. ”

Wan Sheng immediately shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Why?" Liu Jianhong was puzzled.

"The games I predict tend to be seen and analysed from an objective point of view. For example, the European Championship, the World Cup. I didn't have much to do with those games and I didn't have a team to support, so I was able to be very objective in my predictions. ”

"But it's not going to work, just like the fans and friends in front of the TV. In life, I am also a pure Chinese fan, and I support the Chinese team, from a personal point of view. I naturally want the Chinese team to win, so I can't look at the game from a neutral point of view. ”

Liu Jianhong immediately applauded, "So that's the case." ”

"So the next question. As a world-famous head coach, can you give some advice to the Chinese team? ”

Wan Sheng said, "I've already said this. The biggest problem of the Chinese team is that their physical fitness is not good, and the gap between the two halves of the game is too large. ”

"This is a very serious problem, every game of the Chinese team, the first half will be very good, but in the second half, the physical fitness can not keep up, resulting in a big difference in performance, often the opponent will seize the opportunity."

"The team is like a sports car, every player is a part of the sports car, there are key and non-critical, but every player is very important and can completely affect the performance of the sports car, and the manager is like a racing car, and the football game is the same as the car. The best sports car is the fastest to run, but it doesn't necessarily win the car, which also has a lot to do with the quality of the driver. In addition, it is very important to note that even the best sports car needs power, and what is the power? Everyone knows, gasoline. The physical fitness of the team is gasoline, no matter how good the performance of the sports car, if the gasoline is not enough, it will not be able to run halfway, at this time, no matter how good the performance of the sports car, no matter how high the level of the racer is, it is useless, so my advice to the Chinese team is that before every competition, we must fill up the 'oil', so that each team member can have sufficient physical fitness. Those players who don't have enough physical fitness, no matter how strong their ability is, it is meaningless to be famous. ”

The metaphor of Wansheng's image made Liu Jianhong can't help but applaud, and the staff next to him applauded.

"Wansheng, it's really good that you say it." Liu Jianhong couldn't help but say, "In our live broadcast report, I almost don't praise the guests, but my current mood can really only be described as 'amazed', I think your words will soon spread all over China." ”

"Thank you." Wansheng responded politely.

Liu Jianhong quickly recovered and continued to ask, "Okay, so do you have any other suggestions for the Chinese team?" ”

Wan Sheng thought for a while and said, "As far as the game is concerned, I think the Chinese team's defense should not be too conservative, it should be confident, try to let the ball move in the opponent's half, and then organize the attack when the opponent makes mistakes." If it is played like this, it will be at least a draw. Everyone should unify their thoughts on the field. ”

Liu Jianhong nodded, and the media interviewed many internationally renowned football figures before, and they all pointed out the conservative problem of the Chinese team, which is also a clichΓ©.

He continued to ask, "Wan Sheng, you don't want to predict the score of this game, so can you predict the future trend of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup?" ”

"Also, which team are you most optimistic about in this World Cup? Is it the host? Japan, South Korea? Or a West Asian team? ”

Wan Sheng nodded and said, "As long as the Chinese team passes the Uzbek hurdle and breaks the so-called 'curse' in the media, I believe they will go far and reach the finals." ”

"I don't have a team that I am particularly optimistic about, if I really want to say it, I am only optimistic about Hong Kong, China, and that is the team I lead."

After that, Wan Sheng said indifferently, "We don't need to care about the hosts, they will be out of the game then!" ”

This sentence immediately made Liu Jianhong smile.

Some fans in front of the TV also reacted with a turn in their brains, and the only one who can qualify for the host team is Vietnam, and Vietnam will meet Hong Kong, China in the quarterfinals, that is to say, Wansheng is to express that Hong Kong, China will definitely beat Vietnam to reach the semi-finals!
