Chapter 42: A New Era Begins with Us
Two weeks is not a short time, but it is not a long time. During this period, each player found that his skill level had improved qualitatively, and when he played on the field, he felt clearer than when he was on his own team. When a player asked the teenager why, Lee Bourne quipped: "What? Do you think that your IQ is about to increase to 250? It's nonsense, let you watch the game clip every day, even if you exercise your ability to read the game on the field. After so many days of no effect, how piggy you must be."
Interestingly, the whole base, down to the janitor, up to the chef, physiotherapist, etc., all knew that this group of young people would continue to practice after the training, but the coaching staff seemed to know nothing about it. It is to punch in on time every day, and get off work at the point.On October 14th, the national youth team that ended the two-week training camp held an intra-team meeting before going to South Korea.All the players, coaching staff and logistics staff all sat on the field, and the teenager looked at the leaders on the stage, in addition to the head coach Tang Pengju, the old Wang Junsheng of the Football Association also came, and then looked down, huh? Isn't this a janitor? How did he sit on it? After Wang Junsheng finished speaking, the janitor took the microphone, blinked mischievously before speaking, and looked at Li Boen in the crowd. At this moment, the boy knew that his old friend was the founder of the national team or modern Chinese football, Coach Nian Weisi, and the owner of the No. 20 jersey. The young man who listened to the oath meeting in a daze was finally shed alone, and the old man looked at his little friend and laughed: "What? If you change your identity, you won't know each other? During this time, I asked your Sun God head coach Xie Zhiguang, basically the club's coaching work is mainly based on you. I've also watched the training you've arranged for these guys in the past two weeks, and it's very good. From physical fitness to technique and tactics, and even recovery physiotherapy after training was very interesting, I discussed it with Xiao Tang. This expedition will give you young people a look, just like you in the Guangzhou team, nominally Coach Tang is still in charge, in fact, your opinion is the main thing. What do you think? Are you confident that you will come back with a championship?"
Speaking of which, the boy naturally took over the task very simply, and promised that he would not disappoint fans across the country.
In the afternoon of the same day, the national youth team arrived in Busan, South Korea. There are five days left until the first game of the group stage against arch-rivals Japan. The teenager divided the team into two groups, attacking and defending, and watched the defensive highlights of the Japanese team's backline and the attacking highlights of the midfield. The video clips are detailed to the habits of each player of the opponent in handling the ball, the off-ball running of the striker during the attack and the pulling of the defensive space by other players without the ball, and the main landing points of the bottom cross, etc. The players who watched these sorted out video materials were dumbfounded, where had they seen this situation when they were in the club, before playing the game, it was equivalent to taking off the opponent to a fine light, and first put it in front of everyone to see all the advantages and disadvantages of the opponent clearly, this game is really difficult to lose. However, the teenager especially instructed a few players who played in the back waist, and the opponent's front No. 10 Nakata Hidetoshi needs to be paid attention to, especially when the two sides are deadlocked or the defensive space on the field is greatly compressed by the opponent, at this time the only player who does not fully follow the video analysis to defend. According to the current starter, it is Jia Wenpeng who is responsible for defending Zhongtian, and for Xiao Jia, who is usually opposite Gullitt in training, he still has a lot of experience in how to defend this kind of star player. After all, no matter how demonic he is, he can't compare to the old leader who has eaten everything and seen it. Partnering with Jia Wenpeng in the midfield position is the last legend of the future national team, Zheng Zhi, who has been in the foreign country in the previous life, and his experience in studying abroad in the previous life has indeed proved his strength. But since the late Charlton period, the operation of the agent really needs to be complained, so this young man hopes to fully develop Zheng Zhi's various abilities to help him achieve higher achievements in his career. The teenager told Zheng Zhi to compare Nakata when watching the clip, and think about the difference between himself and the opponent's handling of the ball in the same situation. Look for the good in each other, but don't be presumptuous, and have confidence in yourself and your teammates when you go on the field.
In addition to the interpretation of Japan's style of play at the tactical level, the teenager did not arrange special training in terms of technique and tactics in the past few days, but divided all the players into two seven-man teams for half-court offensive and defensive exercises after watching the opponent's video analysis every day. Interestingly, the Japanese media who came to inquire found that the Chinese national youth team in training is responsible for attacking midfielders on both sides, while those responsible for defense are serious midfielders. For this situation, they really have the spirit of breaking the casserole and asking to the end, and they don't mind the obvious rejection in the other party's eyes, and even ran to ask the coaching staff of the Chinese team. All the Chinese personnel who were asked had a thought in their heads: "This is how these little Japanese spies work? Unabashedly?"
In fact, the teenager's training arrangement is not to hide people's eyes and ears, to secretly engage in some secret tricks. If you really want to talk about the trick, several players from Rice Sports, including the FIYTA players who suffered losses in the game, know that a small book in Li Bourne's hand with a cover written "free kick cooperation that must score" is a big killer. Anyway, I heard the players from Rice say that the things in Boss Li's book are nuclear weapons in football games, if any coach learns it, it sounds exaggerated, you go to coach a team in the middle and upper reaches of the league, this book can ensure that you win all the championships for two seasons. Scary, isn't it? That means that there are two in a game, and in terms of the schedule of A, there are at least 180 free kicks that you don't expect. And Li Boen said publicly, the things in this book, as long as the Chinese team plays a foreign team, whether it is a national brand or a club level, he can provide free kicks in it, of course, you can give you up to two in a game. If you want to count on this win, then this team can also be disbanded. So this training method only helps the offensive and defensive players to better understand what the opponent thinks during the game. Faced with the same situation, how would you handle the ball if you were the opponent. To put it bluntly, it's about learning to think on the field. Like basketball, this kind of team competition is not a production line in a factory, it requires players to have the ability to think, the ability to read the game. Some coaches will find assembly line type players easy to use, that is because this type of player can better implement the coach's arrangement on the field, but this kind of player will not make any big mistakes, but you don't expect to bring you some surprises. If the competitive events are all such players, then we don't need to watch football games, buy a live football, 1P and 2P choose a team, and just hand it over to the computer control. Look at that and you will understand what an assembly line player is.
This time, the grouping of the Chinese team in the Asian Youth Championship was not bad, and the group stage avoided the host South Korean team. The other four opponents in the same group are Japan, Qatar, Syria and India.
On October 20th, the Chinese national youth team won the first opponent in the group, and it is also the most difficult bone in this group. Several of the more prominent players in the Japanese national youth team participated in the men's football competition at this year's Atlanta Olympics. Even their 1-0 victory over the Brazilian Olympic team with alien Ronaldo, Hidetoshi Nakata is at the heart of this team. It can be said that although there have been many outstanding representatives of Asian midfielders, but in the next 20 years, no midfielder can surpass Nakata's individual strength. If you insist on putting on a 4-5-1 strongest lineup in Asia, Zheng Zhi and Nakata are no problem to partner in a double back, needless to say on the left midfield, it is naturally Park Ji-sung, and on the right is Keisuke Honda, and the front midfielder is Shinji Kagawa who shines in Dortmund. There should be no controversy about the striker, although he is half an era away from these predecessors, it does not prevent Son Heung-min of the South Korean team from occupying this position without any opponent. What? You say Wu Lei? Hehe, hold the ball into Barcelona and blow it for the rest of your life. The central defenders and goalkeepers in the back line are really difficult to arrange, there are too many excellent players, you ask Lao Fan he dares to say that he occupies a seat No, it is estimated that Lao Fan himself does not dare to say that he is the best central defender in Asia in 20 years, one of course is okay. However, there is still a person in the national football team who can say that he is the strongest in Asia in this position, that is, Jihai. Sun Jihai squatted on the pit of the right back, and I believe that no one came over without long eyes and said, "Hey, you move your position, I think I can." Even Atsushi Uchida has to step aside when he comes. The left-back is indeed a little Japan again, Inter Mi's Yuto Nagatomo.
Some people will say that there are so many good players in Australia, they are not counted, what Bresciano, Cahill or something. I'm sorry, I've always felt that Australia came to the AFC to join in the fun, pure nonsense, do your team have a good growth environment and we have a hairy relationship with Asia. Really talking about the distance, it takes you 11 hours to fly to Beijing, and 5 hours to Santiago in Chile. It's not like it's easier to grab a ticket in Asia. I know that persimmons pick up soft pinching, and seriously say that although the idea of pinning the hope of qualifying on others is not very good, it is true that if there is no Australia, the Chinese team is the biggest beneficiary team in Asia. Can't catch up with you Japan and South Korea who drive cars, Iran and Qatar drive motorcycles, and the magical electric cars of my Chinese land can still soar, which means that in addition to Japan and South Korea, at least we still have two places left to compete, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Qatar will be counted as Syria, and it is also a one-sixth probability. Good guys, seeing that the motorcycle rider in front of us was about to be overtaken, the Australians drove their country's famous Holden car and threw us straight in the face, and then there was no more. The six of you are going to play for that spot. When you get your hands on it, you can participate in the subsequent World Cup final play-offs with this ticket. Nima, isn't this a kid?
On the one hand, the AFC's acceptance of Australia is indeed a bad move. But in the final analysis, we didn't seize the best opportunity to take the national football team to the next level. Imagine that after the 02 World Cup, the popularity of football in the country has reached its peak, and the Football Association will not be down to the situation mentioned before 20 years later. The biggest embarrassment is that there is no successor! Fan Zhiyi's words back then must be remembered by everyone: "What level is he Zhao Peng, can he play as a central defender? He can't play, you Zhao Peng is playing central defender or something, is the national team okay?"
So since Li Boen can have a chance to do it again, he can't say anything and won't let the national football team fall into such a quagmire again. Tomorrow is the match against the Japanese team, and the teenager said at the pre-match mobilization meeting: "The national team is afraid of South Korea, afraid of Japan, afraid of everything? Starting from this Asian Youth Championships, we will make these things history, and their Korean and Japanese languages are waiting to add new words! Episophobia across Asia starts this October! Guys, play well, after this Cup, you will all be firmly remembered by the history of Chinese football!"
Who said that our Chinese players are not wolves, take a look at the following group of boys!
"Kill Japan and South Korea! Dominate Asia! Kill Japan and South Korea! Dominate Asia!"
This morale, if there is a live broadcast, domestic fans are afraid that they will have a collective orgasm. Let's just sit back and wait for the first round of the Asian Youth Championship between China and Japan tomorrow!
