Looking at Li Xiaopeng's indecisive appearance, Gao Yuan's heart suddenly shook, just now he has been emphasizing that the heart of Chinese players is fragile and easy to drop the chain in key games, but why not domestic coaches!

from the proud Su Yongshun to the calm and low-key Zeng Xuelin; From Gao Fengwen, who was only one step away from Rome, to Qi Wusheng, who was defeated in Jinzhou, as well as Zhu Guanghu, Shen Xiangfu, Cheng Yaodong, and Gao Hongbo····· Generations of domestic coaches have fallen, and although their abilities are uneven, they are all the top elites in the Chinese football circle. The reasons for their failure are very different, but in the final analysis, they all fail in a heart that is not strong enough.

Guided by Li, "Plan and move, act and persevere" This is the eight-character proverb you once gave me, but when it comes to the end, why did you sway yourself first and mess up?

After a long time, Li Xiaopeng raised his head, looking very tired, he seemed to be much older in an instant, and his voice was even a little hoarse: "Train first, I'll think about it later, and then decide!"

If the basic strategy and tactics cannot be determined, the training will not be targeted.

In the week between the two fights, every minute and every second was precious, but now it is just for physical recovery and regular training, which is a waste of time.

Gao Yuan is very anxious, Fabio is also very anxious, everyone may have different opinions, but the starting point is for the good of the team, they both know that every minute of delay will weaken the hope of victory by one point.

Even scarier than doing something wrong is doing nothing!

Li Xiaopeng is not in a hurry, he is the head coach, and he is more anxious than anyone else. These days, he has been suffering from insomnia all night long, and he is extremely tired physically and psychologically.

He didn't know what to choose, Takato and Fabio had a point, a man who has repeatedly performed miracles since joining the team, and it has been proven that most of his views are right; On the other side is an experienced and more famous gold medal foreign coach, who should he trust? What's more, it's not just about the championship, it's about his personal career future. As a Chinese footballer, he aspires to become the coach of the national team, and hopes that one day, he can relive the glory of 2002 and lead the team to the World Cup.

However, the more you eager, the more worried you are, and the more difficult it is to choose. He feared that one of his wrong choices would undo a year of hard work by everyone at the club; I am even more worried that I will ruin my hopes and dreams of becoming the coach of the national team.

Between gains and losses, time flies. When it came time to embark on an away trip, he had to make a choice.

His heart is inclined to lofty opinions. The tactical concepts of the two may be expressed in different forms, but in the final analysis, they are both based on reality and practicality. Just as Gao Yuan said about the relationship between "1" and "0", there is no "1" that wins the championship, and no matter how many "0" represents honor in the back, it is impossible to talk about it.

But a phone call at a critical moment made him change his original intention.

This is a call he received from the Football Association just after getting off the high-speed train.

The name displayed on the phone made Li Xiaopeng's heart beat violently.

"Hello, Chairman Chen"

"Xiaopeng, have you led the team to the magic capital? How's the preparation for tomorrow's game? ”

"Just got off the train, thank you for your concern, everything is normal in training these days."

"Well, that's good. There is one thing I want to inform you in advance, tomorrow I will personally lead the team to the scene to watch the game, except for those of us bureaucrats who do not understand technology, the national team selection team will also be present. Xiaopeng, do you know what that means?

Hehe! As you know, there are still some objections to the selection of the national team coach, some people say that you are too conservative in your use of troops and lack the courage of young people. I never took these words to heart, and you should not take them to heart. However, Xiaopeng, tomorrow's game, I still hope you can win beautifully! I'm not putting pressure on you, haha! Do you understand what I mean? ”

"Chairman, don't worry, I understand!"

The moment he hung up the phone, Li Xiaopeng had no choice.

At the tactical preparation meeting before the field training, Li Xiaopeng set the tone.

"This ball, we not only want to win, but also win beautifully! Win wonderful! Hit the spirit of the Tarzan team! ”

As soon as these words came out, Fabio smiled, and Gao Yuan frowned.

This is not a discussion with the coaching staff, but a deployment in front of all the players. is the final decision.

Gao Yuan didn't understand that in such an important game, Li Xiaopeng chose a path that was obviously inconsistent with his tactical philosophy.

But he can't bring it up at this moment, because it's his final decision. Gao Yuan remembered that Li Xiaopeng had told himself more than once, "Only one person in a team can have the final say, and that is the head coach"

The head coach makes the final decision and bears all the costs of the decision.

Of course, Gao Yuan can give Li Xiaopeng advice, but not now, not in front of everyone, but in private to find the right time.

After the tactical preparation meeting, the players had a pre-match training session.

Li Xiaopeng attended the press conference.

A reporter asked: "How is your team's mentality adjusted?" ”

Li Xiaopeng replied: "My team members are all experienced in a hundred battles, only my mentality is not peaceful enough. ”

The media reporters interviewed were amused by Li Xiaopeng's humor, but everyone didn't expect that this was just Li Xiaopeng's truth.

"And how are you going to deal with tomorrow's game?" Another reporter asked.

"We're going to do our best to win beautiful!"

Match day.

The Taishan team took a bus to the venue of the game - Hongkou Football Stadium.

As soon as you get off the bus, you can feel the hot atmosphere of this "devil's home".

Hongkou Football Stadium is the first professional football stadium in China, and it is also one of the few professional football stadiums currently in use in China. The total construction area is 72,900 square meters, and the audience seats are 35,000. Because there is no runway barrier, the spectator seats are connected to the stadium, and the reasonable architectural structure and flexible space treatment ensure a good line of sight and sound effect of the spectator seats. Therefore, the more than 30,000 seats can create a far more momentum than the traditional 50,000 or 60,000 people.

Today, the Hongkou Stadium is full, and as far as the eye can see, the entire stadium is a sea of blue. More than 30,000 fans wore blue cheering uniforms of the Shenhua team, held up blue fan scarves, and chanted cheering slogans of "no madness, no Shenhua" and "Shenhua is the champion".

I have to say that the magic city is worthy of being an international metropolis, and the organization level and cheering methods of the fans of the magic city are also taking an international route. Shenhua's fan culture is the earliest in the domestic football culture to form a system and scale, and fan organizations such as the Blue Devils and Blue Bloods are deeply influenced and influenced by the city's culture, and the level of creating momentum is far ahead of the domestic fan organizations.

The Shenhua team has always been the home dragon, which is inseparable from the organized and rhythmic shouting and cheering of the home fans.

Takato was deeply shocked by the fiery atmosphere he saw. That's what professional football is called! That's called Ultras! Professional football is not only a tournament for excellent coaches and players, but also inseparable from fanatical fans and a fiery atmosphere! The fans themselves constitute one of the most beautiful scenery on the professional football field!

The devil's home stadium in Hongkou makes every away player who comes here to play frightened. But if the domestic arena is full of such hot devil home stadiums, then why worry that people will not buy tickets to step into the stands, why worry that Chinese football cannot be revitalized, why worry that children will not fall in love with football?!
