Before the official competition, the training intensity of the Macao team was set relatively low every day.

At this time, there is no need to grind the gun in battle, but moderate training with physiotherapy, the most important thing is to rest well at night, ensure scientific and reasonable diet, and maintain your physical condition to the greatest extent, these operations are more effective for improving combat effectiveness.

In addition, the Macau team also attaches great importance to the study of opponents, their own psychological construction, and tactical drills.

This is one of the strengths of the Macau team, they have a complete intelligence and analysis department, and the increasingly professional coaching staff will use this information to formulate specific tactics, and then explain and deploy them to the players.

Before this trip, they also set up a team of psychologists to help the players decompress psychologically.

This is very important, because in a big tournament like the World Cup, many players will be directly crushed by the huge pressure when they come on the pitch, or they will be so excited that their feet will go limp because they are too nervous.

The Macau team is the team with the lowest average age in this World Cup, and if the psychological aspect is not paid attention to, it is really impossible to say how much strength can be played in the game.

At this time, the CS game has become very popular all over the world, and those so-called talented teenagers are all alive and well when they compete online, but when they get offline, many of them will tremble and completely lose their former spirituality because of nervousness.

This kind of thing is no different on the football field, if the opposing player is a few provocative words during the game, saying some trash talk to make you mentality, or even using small actions to make you ......

At that time, the people who were still not affected can only be said to be one in ten thousand.

So a genius who can not have stage fright on a really big scene is a real genius!

The pre-match work prepared by the Macao team in detail will not be bad for the strong teams in the basically developed areas, but no team can compare with Macau in terms of execution.

Take Spain as an example, they are certainly better than the Macau team in terms of gathering intelligence, especially the tactical formulation of the coaching staff.

But the question is, will those uncles listen carefully?

Raul is an example, as soon as people came up, they fell out with the head coach Aragonés, and the locker room went straight to the mentality of the newcomer in the same position.

In addition, the various factions in the Spanish team have always been on the same page, with all kinds of intrigues and even pulling each other's backs, which have always emerged in endlessly.

This is also a collective problem for many European and South American teams, many of whom have more complex and fierce factional struggles than the national football team!

This also leads to a lot of times, they obviously have a bunch of coveted stars, but these people just can't play in the game.

The factional component of the Spanish team is even more complicated, because there is still a lot of politics in it, which is probably one of the reasons why they have not even played in the World Cup final.

But on the other hand, the Macau players, they are the backbone of Zhang Gongzi from top to bottom!

They would devote two hours a day to tactical discussion classes, and Zhang Gongzi would take the lead in listening carefully with a notebook.

Zhang Desheng, the leading brother, is like the squad leader when he was in school, and from time to time he will cooperate with the coaches to ask some points to his teammates, helping his coach to improve the details of tactical implementation in more depth.

As for factions and infighting, it will be even more impossible to talk about, and the real aborigines of Macau have long since left the list, and now their gang are all Chinese from all over the world, all revolving around the leader Zhang Gongzi.

Therefore, the Macau team is completely different from other teams in terms of tactics, and the big guys can really sit down and actively discuss and improve.

"In midfield, try to minimise the amount of time you spend in possession and speed up the pace of the ball, but at the same time increase the amount of time the team has to keep the ball!"

"In the front court, the center should actively retreat and respond, and the ball must be as fast as the ball, and the ball must not stick to the ball! Forwards should run aggressively, not take the ball, and use their movement to compress Tunisia's vertical defensive space, while also maximizing their lateral defensive space. ”

"In the backfield, I am very relieved that you are defensively, but this time I need you to be more active on the offensive end, dare to take the ball in the backcourt and organize, absolutely not cowardly, you must be bold to respond, and pass the ball forward, play a little more confident!"

"The two full-backs also have a lot of work to do, you need to be aggressive and bold in attack, but remember that you can only rush up one at a time!"

"Our two full-backs, the task is to play with their lives to break through in the two ribs, pay attention to once the full-backs are inserted, they must immediately cut in according to the situation, or pull away, and the attacking space is as large as possible."

"In the first game, we must play confidently, don't be afraid of losing the ball, don't be afraid of taking responsibility, we must take risks when we should take risks, we must make decisions when we should make decisions, and when we really have no ideas, we will kick the ball on my head, on Li Xiaobo's head, in front of Da Liu, we must kick out of momentum!"

“……”

These are the first game tactics that the coaching staff has developed after research, and they are responsible for designing the matching tactics for these key points, and then through a lot of discussions and drills to find out the problems in execution.

Zhang Desheng is responsible for repeatedly explaining and summarizing to his teammates, which are the keys to victory that they must do!

Such days are actually quite fulfilling, so time flies.

During this waiting time, they did not pay attention to the teams in other regions, and at most they took a few glances at Asian teams in their busy time.

Iran were the first Asian team to play, losing 1-3 to Mexico in their opening game on the afternoon of the 11th.

This game made West Asian football very disappointed, but not because of the result, but because the gap in the process was obvious, the Iranian team basically had no chances, and it was pressed and beaten all the time!

The quasi-Asian civil war between Japan and Australia was fought on the night of the 12th.

But the result also made Japanese fans wail, because the contest between East Asian football and Oceania football, which was promoted by the Japanese media, ended in a 3:1 victory for Australia.

"Phew, you are also worthy of being the representative of East Asian football?"

Chinese fans are naturally dismissive of this, the Japanese team has been riding on the head and by the Macau team in recent years, and they actually have the face to say such things as representing East Asian football?

But the strength of these two teams is equal, don't look at the final score is 3:1, the Japanese team was even in the lead, but I didn't expect that in the second half of the 9 minutes, Australia scored three goals in a row to reverse the game.

The Japanese themselves could find the reason for their defeat, and the only goal they scored in the game was a free-kick from Shunsuke Nakamura.

This is obviously another problem caused by the lack of calcium in the forward line, and the Japanese team has always dominated the battle for midfield, and there are no major problems in defense most of the time.

But the shells they sent forward were all wasted by their own Sima strikers, and in the end, even the back line was detonated.

So the Japanese discussed it to the end, and naturally they worshiped it incomparably, and even turned into a kneeling gaze, and they all looked at Zhang Gongzi!

The third Asian team, Saudi Arabia, played their first match on the 13th, and they faced West African powerhouse Togo who had been beaten in World Cup qualifying.

Then, Saudi Arabia continued its consistent hip pull in the World Cup, not only failed to beat Togo like the original baton, but was directly crushed by Porto center Adebayo.

In the end, a disparity of 4:1 made Saudi Arabia once again a shame in Asia in the World Cup!

"Saudi, worthy of you!"

Zhang Gongzi is not surprised by this, once Saudi football has no whistle, it is easy to pull the hip even in Asia.

And after arriving at the World Cup, these people will really pull their pants every time, and they can completely open with a team of five or five.

But in terms of the evaluation of the combat power of the system, Saudi Arabia actually does not have such a dish.

So they are really very similar to the Chinese first team, which is a typical competition soft-footed shrimp!

After Saudi Arabia's heavy defeat to Togo, all Asian teams except Macau have appeared, and the result is a very embarrassing three consecutive defeats!

This made many Western media take the opportunity to become angry, and they naturally took out the results of the last World Cup and the results of the Japanese and South Korean teams.

But the problem is that these Western media are not taking the opportunity to ridicule Japan and South Korea, but to trap the whole of Asian football in it.

What is this?

The ugly things done by Japan and South Korea should be borne by Asia?

This kind of practice of good things being led by Japan and South Korea, and carrying bad things together, naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the Asian media except them!

But there is an incident here that is very embarrassing for the Chinese media, especially Chinese fans.

That is, don't look at all three teams lost, but even the Saudi Arabian team, which lost miserably, also scored!

Therefore, many dissatisfied Asian media turned to the goal of yin and yang, and somehow turned it to Chinese football.

Then, after a fierce mockery, the rabbit finally went to the World Cup, and the result was almost as if he didn't go.

This one...... Chinese fans are indeed not good at repaying their mouths!

Even if they want to use the angry Macau to retaliate, but regardless of whether Macau has not officially debuted, at this time, they can think with their butts that these Asian media will definitely deliberately downplay and even divide the word "China" in front of the Macao team.

And the thoughts of the "Macau, China Team" will naturally be placed on the opponent two days later.

Although Tunisia is an African team, the country's skin color is not all black, and the proportion of pure Nigo in the team is not high.

Most of the starters of this African champion team have played in European leagues, and even a few of them play for top teams.

Although there is no giant core like Zhang Gongzi in the Tunisian team, and there is no real top star, if you exclude his strongest point, it still has some advantages in the number and quality of players in Europe.

The most important thing is that most of the Tunisian players have only been trained in Europe for one or two years, most of them have been playing in Europe for many years, and they are more experienced, more technically mature, and definitely better in terms of psychological quality, and they have seen more big scenes than them.

This means that Macau will likely face the same problems as Saudi Arabia, and their starting theory is actually slightly better than Tunisia.

But the question is, can they really play perfectly in the game at this level?

Zhang Gongzi also knows that this problem is impossible, and the real big heart is only a very few.

In this game, the Macau players should not be greatly weakened by huge pressure and excessive tension, which is already good.

Then there is the duel of coaches, although Liao Qimin is the most suitable coach for Macau, but Tunisia's French coach Le Maire is a famous coach with experience in winning the European Cup.

After leading France to the European Championship in '00 and two consecutive Confederations Cups, Le Maire turned around and led Tunisia to the Africa Cup of Nations in '04.

The French coach in the field of the national team, it can be said that from the millennium to this year, the veritable first coach, Milou is not even worthy of lifting shoes in terms of honor.

Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, Tunisian football at this time is in the best time, led by the world's No. 1 coach in the field of the national team, and a group of experienced and winning divisions.

The average age of the Macau team is just over 21 years old, even if Zhang Gongzi leads how big a wave can it make?

This question will soon be seen on the court.

On June 14, the first match of Group H where the Macau team is located finally officially started.

But it was not the Macau team that played today, but the doomed Spain and Shevchenko's Ukraine.

This Ukraine team is also not favored by the outside world, and most Western media believe that Ukraine's strength is inferior to Tunisia, and even not much stronger than the Macau team.

Whether they qualify will depend on how many points they can pick up against Spain and Tunisia, and whether they can beat the weakest of Macau to get that crucial three points.

But it's not just Ukraine that looks down on them, the outside world is not very optimistic about the teams in this group, including Spain, the nominal first pot team.

That's because Spain have not been able to solve the team's lack of attacking power, and they have had a rough start to the World Cup, and finally got through the play-offs.

Now the two cores have been injured before the game one after another, which makes everyone even more optimistic about them, thinking that they will not go far even if they qualify from the group.

Therefore, the qualifying situation of Group H, the outside media believes that it mainly depends on the top three teams, how many points they can get from each other, and who can score all three points on the Macau team, especially the three points of the Macau team, which is very crucial to the competition of the other three!

In other words, if anyone fails to score all three points on the belly of the Macau team, it will basically be GG.

As for the Macau team itself, the Western media don't know whether they really think that they are weak and have no chance of qualifying, or whether they simply want them to fail to qualify?

Anyway, Zhang Desheng is very dismissive of the Western media's unanimous underestimation of the Macau team!

After all, when these bastards reported on those battles in the original plane, they all properly talked nonsense with their eyes open.

So when they reported on the situation of qualifying for Group H, the Macau team would be deliberately ignored even if it had the strength!

It's not that they don't have professional standards, but that the Macau team was eliminated in the group stage, or that the strength of the Macau team is very weak, which is the wish of the entire Western media.

Just like the collapse of a rabbit, the West knows that it is unreliable, but it has to be used to blow sleep on its own to get by!

"Everyone be careful, the blowing penalty we face in the World Cup is probably not fair, so be mentally prepared in this regard!"

After Zhang Desheng and the whole team saw Spain's 4-0 victory over Ukraine, he gave the team another shot in a timely manner.

"Boss, our Chinese football has always been targeted outside, we know this!"

Shen Yi actually wanted to remind everyone of this, but he didn't expect to be preempted.

"Made, it's one thing to have a number in mind, but the question is how far will they target us? I'm so afraid I can't help it! ”

Li Xiaobo was unhappy at the thought of this, but who let the ancestors of the past two hundred years not be angry, then they would have to let future generations bear the price.

"I'm also thinking about tomorrow's defensive scale, if we are really targeted, how to control the scale of action at that time?"

Tu Guangtai was also a little distressed about this, he was worried that he would be able to eat cards if he was too cowardly, but if he was too cowardly, the opponent's technique and speed could not be limited.

"Old Niu, you can't start this game, don't complain!"

Zhang Desheng did not answer immediately, but said a word to Niu Zhanshan.

"Boss, I'm not a person who doesn't know the overall situation, Tunisia's frontcourt is all in the early sevens of one meter, it's really hard for me to deal with it!"

Niu Zhanshan was naturally a little disappointed in his heart, and the matter of his first game being taken as the starter had been decided a week ago.

But he really doesn't have any negative emotions, because Tunisia's forward group is basically a small man who is fast and technically delicate, and although he is not clumsy in a tall defender, he is still too slow to play against such a striker.

"The impact of their midfield is not strong, but those strikers are really difficult to deal with, everyone is still the priority in terms of scale, and tomorrow our strategic goal is not to limit them to score, but to ensure that we must score more goals ourselves."

Zhang Desheng has never felt that their current defense can make it difficult for the team in the World Cup to score, so even if the follow-up is still mainly to play defensive counterattacks, the purpose is how to complete the counterattack.

He also solves the problem of defensive action - they don't pay too much for a foul in a game, even if it makes it easier for the opposition to score.

This is because the bench depth of the Macau team is far inferior to that of the teams in Pot 1 and Pot 2, including most teams in Pot 3 are also stronger than them in bench depth.

Therefore, they must make it a priority to ensure that the main squad is not suspended on a large scale, even if it costs some intensity defensively, they must make this choice.

######

The next day, the Macao team took a bus in the afternoon and participated in the pre-match press conference.

Today's match against Tunisia is scheduled for the evening, five o'clock local time to be exact!

So at 2:30 p.m., the Macau team came to the pre-match press conference in time.

But there is not good news at this time, many players yesterday were too excited, or nervous, resulting in some insomnia.

So before the game even started, some players' combat power had already dropped by one or two points.

But this kind of thing can't be avoided, who made them too young to start, and they are about to participate in the World Cup, which is extremely important for Chinese football.

There are so many things that make people nervous and stressed.

At this time, reporters from Asia, and even many European and American reporters, had already crowded the press conference.

Such a scene can not be seen in the Asian teams that have appeared before, even at the pre-match press conference of the Japanese team, eighty percent of them are Japan's own media, not even many Asian counterparts, let alone European and American news media.

But the attention and influence of the Macau team are significantly higher, who let them have a Zhang Gongzi who has already broken the circle.

'It's our first World Cup and we don't have a lot of experience, but we'll try to do a little bit better!'

Zhang Gongzi was very low-key in his speech before the game, even if many media questions had elements of yin and yang, he didn't hear them at all, let alone fight back!

This is in order not to add extra pressure to his teammates, so he tried to make his first appearance in the World Cup, dressed up without any gunpowder smell!

Besides, he will not be in the mood to pretend to fight in front of the media, so if he has this mind, he should keep it and fight with Tunisia!

An hour later, the dressing room of the Macau team ......

"Rhythm! We have to keep the rhythm in check! You can hold the ball aggressively, but don't shoot easily; You can take the initiative to attack, but don't shoot easily; You can pass the ball quickly, you can make bold cuts, but don't make long passes lightly; That's right, if we want to get the rhythm in the game, we have to get the ball in possession, so the goal is to get over 60 per cent possession. Then, use the constant attack, the constant passing, the constant breakthrough, the constant wear down their patience, and the constant stimulation of their sanity, so that they can't find a comfortable offensive rhythm! ”

Liao Qimin also emphasized the tactical focus of tonight again before the game.

They're actually very confident in their way of playing, but they're also very risky!

This is the African champions, can they really control the tempo and control the ball?

But no matter how difficult and challenging it is, they must also try, otherwise they will not set up any more tasks to qualify.

Zhang Desheng didn't make any more pre-war speeches today, because what should be said has been said in the past half a month, and then he just needs to do it!

"Macau, China, it's time to play, please go to the players' tunnel within ten minutes!"

At 4:10 p.m., Liao Qimin had finished his final instructions before the war, and the players of the Macau team were already sorting out their equipment and preparing to wait for the admission notice.

At this time, a notification sound that made many people's hearts beat suddenly accelerated, and it seemed to explode from outside the door with a "clang" in their ears.

In an instant, many starters of the Macau team even had the illusion of walking into the examination room before the "high school entrance examination (don't ask why it is the high school entrance examination)", preparing stationery and nervously waiting, and suddenly heard the bell that the exam was about to start.

In short, their hearts suddenly became abrupt, and they could only hear the sound of their own heartbeat for a while, and their faces turned red in an instant.

"Brothers, African football has risen one step ahead of Asia, and Japan and South Korea have also taken the lead in the World Cup...... But as the saying goes, a good meal is not afraid of being late! The world will soon see that Chinese football is about to enter the world stage, and we are the orthodox representatives of Chinese football going out of the world...... Now don't think about it anymore, let's use the first goal and the first victory to announce to the world - Chinese football, we TMD is here! ”

"Rush!"

"Up!"

"Rise up!"

"Kill them!"

“……”

Zhang Gongzi saw the virtue of his teammates, of course, he couldn't really say nothing.

So when he heard the sound of the staff announcing the entrance, he summoned all the Macau players to form a circle, and when this short pre-war incentive was over, everyone shouted a few times together.

Then, a group of people, led by Zhang Gongzi, who was striding forward, rushed out of the locker room with their heads held high, ready to truly amaze the world.

#####

At 4:30 p.m., the two sides who were about to fight half an hour later appeared on time in the unobstructed tunnel of the "Allianz Arena".

At this time, the most excited thing was not the players of the two teams who could hear the voices of the opposite side, but the only CCTV in China that got the right to follow the film.

They were following behind the Macau team, recording the familiar, but unfamiliar scene in front of them.

Naturally, Macau's TV stations complained about this, but they couldn't protest!

In this World Cup, in addition to the host country having the right to send a camera team to follow the participating teams, the national television stations of each team can also send teams of two people to follow their own teams in each game.

It stands to reason that the Macau team should be tracked and filmed by Macau TV, but the Macau Football Association is very sensible and makes decisions without authorization, and directly sends this right to CCTV.

That's why the domestic fans who are in front of the TV at the moment can watch the live broadcast from such a close-up first-person perspective, and they can even hear the Macau players communicating with each other, see the micro-expressions on the players' faces, and even the pimples, which is much stronger than the presence of the last World Cup.

At this time, the Macau players in the players' tunnel are curious about the Tunisian players, but the Tunisian players are not curious about them.

Therefore, when the two sides looked at each other, they not only cast friendly eyes at each other, but several Tunisian players also took the initiative to greet them with the simplest "伱好" in Chinese.

Naturally, the Macau players also greeted each other in English that the other party could understand, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while!

Soon, the players of both sides were notified and finally officially entered this famous five-star home stadium!

After Zhang Desheng led the caddie to the Allianz Arena for the last time, he looked up at the eastern, northern, and southern stands, which had already been dyed into a sea of gold by tens of thousands of Chinese fans.

But in the eyes of these Chinese fans, the golden team that is stepping onto the World Cup with its head held high is more like exuding a proud light.

The golden jerseys on their bodies, like a brilliant golden light in the darkness, go straight to the other side, not only symbolizing the rebirth and hope of Chinese football, but also representing a new football era is about to begin!
