In fact, in the past two years, the national team has also found that there is such a problem with the coach, but in the national team, even Lin Guobin, who is the most kind to the players, has actually stayed in the position of the superior for a long time, and sometimes this kind of communication is difficult to achieve.

Previously, several of their coaches had noticed that Chu Rui's state was not quite right, but now that it was close to the game, it was difficult for them to find a way to calm down without affecting the mentality of the players.

As a result, a few of them were worried, and Su Liang, who was supposed to be in the eye of the storm in today's game, actually helped solve this problem.

The coach next to Pei Jing looked at the natural communication between Su Liang and Chu Rui, and whispered to Pei Jing with emotion: "Old Pei, you disciple is really amazing!" ”

Pei Jing nodded when he heard this, isn't it? In the case of becoming the target of public criticism, he not only calmed down, but also sensed the state of his teammates around him, and at the same time found a suitable way to comfort his teammates.

Just the comparison between Su Liang and Chu Rui in such a thing......

Those who don't know still think that Su Liang is the captain of the short track speed skating team of the Huaguo team, and Chu Rui is the newcomer in the team who participated in the World Championships for the first time!

After Chu Rui relaxed in his state, he thanked Su Liang and breathed a sigh of relief.

But after seeing Su Liang so relaxed, he couldn't help but feel a little worried about Su Liang: "Xiao Liang, you should be careful in the game for a while." ”

Coming first, how many people are paying attention to the Chinese national team, Chu Rui is also looking at it, and those who pay too much attention to the Chinese national team are also the reason why his state involuntarily feels nervous.

Su Liang heard the concern in Chu Rui's voice, but he still looked quite calm and determined.

"Don't worry, Brother Chu."

Su Liang glanced at the MMS message sent by his father on his mobile phone - his father used his mobile phone camera with about 300,000 pixels to take a picture of Xiao Budian holding 'Jiajia' and 'Just', and looked at Xiao Budian holding Jiajia and Gang hard, obviously shouting 'Come on, brother'.

Sure enough, after the MMS message was delivered, his father sent a new text message: [Nuan Nuan and I cheer you on in front of the TV! 】

Looking at the vague but cute little dot on the phone, as well as his father's serious text message, the corners of Su Liang's mouth also showed a shallow smile.

After putting away his phone, Su Liang looked at Chu Rui in front of him, who was very concerned about him, and other teammates and staff around him who were more or less paying attention to his state.

Looking at everyone, Su Liang smiled: "No matter what the strategy is, they are destined to not be my opponents." ”

All:!!!

This resounding sentence completely exposed Su Liang's self-confidence - this 17-year-old boy rarely showed the edge of his heart in front of everyone.

On the side, Mu Yuansheng looked at Su Liang's confident eyebrows and eyes silently, and the corners of his mouth also showed a gentle smile.

Pei Jing, who was standing next to the door, and the other coaches, as well as Shang Fei, You Jian and Ling Junyong, were completely stunned by Su Liang's confident posture.

But after calming down, they couldn't help but think - yes, their teammate Su Liang, this is the guy who won the men's 1500m championship in 4 consecutive stops at the World Cup!

The rules, difficulty and pressure of the World Championships are indeed higher than those of the World Cup, but can the athletes who have won the 1500m gold medal at the World Championships in the past be able to win the 1500m gold medal in 4 consecutive stops at the World Cup? !

No, they can't.

But Su Liang can.

Chapter 290

Domestically, at 5:10 p.m. on March 19, the live broadcast of the Swedish Short Track Speed Skating World Championships on the sports channel has officially begun.

The two commentators who have long been familiar to everyone are still commentators for this live broadcast, the style of the two is the same, friendly and friendly with rich professional knowledge, and they can be quoted when commenting for ice fans, clearly introducing the wonderful performance of a certain player in a certain game in the past.

Such skilled and professional commentators are not in vain, and the two of them are evaluated by domestic ice fans as the king of short track speed skating commentary in China.

At the beginning of the live broadcast, there was no meaningful picture in the live broadcast footage on TV for the time being, the on-site staff checked the ice surface and the black logo block on the ice at the end, and the referees and referees of the referee team were also checking and confirming the relevant work on the spot, and there were also staff members with the list of positions in the backcourt and the different groups of players who were about to play for the corresponding check-in confirmation.

There are these prep shots on the spot, and of course there are some shots from the live audience.

Sweden is a winter sports powerhouse, so the local audience also has a high appreciation and interest in the top winter sports events such as the World Short Track Speed Skating Championships, so you can see that the audience is almost full.

There were some fans of some of the players in the audience, and you could still see some spectators holding small banners and waving small flags representing different countries in the audience, all eagerly looking forward to the upcoming match.

Before the start of the World Championships in the past, Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei would not introduce much to the picture of this kind of camera sweeping the audience, but today is different.

"Huh? We can see that in the footage that has just been swept over, there are some foreign viewers holding our Huaguo small flag in their hands, and it can be seen that this should be the ice fan of our Huaguo team! ”

Speaking of which, even the ice fans in front of the TV can hear the smile in Lin Fangzheng's voice.

After all, before this World Championships, did the Chinese team have any famous players? There must be this, for example, among the retired athletes of the last generation, there are several very strong players, who have stronger dominance in the 500m event than Chu Rui today.

But perhaps because most of the Chinese players are relatively low-key and introverted, or for some other reason, these Chinese celebrities have very few fans overseas, which is completely disproportionate to their level of strength.

But today is different!

Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei still remember that after Su Liang and they arrived in Sweden a few days ago, the news sent back by Liu Yaowu's team - as soon as an overseas ice fan flew to Gothenburg, Sweden for Su Liang, just to watch Su Liang's game on the spot, and at the same time cheer for him on the spot.

As members of the short track speed skating section of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei certainly know that there are more than one ice fans in their forum who also flew to Gothenburg to cheer for Su Liang at the World Championships.

At this time, traveling abroad is not as simple and free as it was later, let alone going all the way to Gothenburg, Sweden just to watch the three-day game, but according to the 'hate list' counted by someone in the forum, there are already three or five people who rushed to Gothenburg from China alone, and there are seven or eight people who were originally studying abroad and flew to Gothenburg this time.

Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei guessed that these ice fans who flew to Sweden together should have already converged, so in the picture that the live camera swept just now, there are a handful of ice fans holding the small flag of the Huaguo team, and some people are holding a banner with Su Liang's name in their hands, there is no doubt that this is Su Liang's die-hard fans!

"From the audience at the scene, we can see that there are short track speed skating enthusiasts from all over the world, including fans of our Huaguo team Su Liang - as far as I know, the popularity of our Su Liang players overseas is not low!"

The two commentators introduced the players and fans in the audience with a rare smile, and the ice fans in front of the TV couldn't help but be envious when they looked at the crowd who could watch the game on the spot.

In China, in the conference room of the short track speed skating team of the winter training center, Lin Guobin sat in the conference room with the coaching staff, and he was also watching the upcoming competition.

After hearing Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei's explanations, Lin Guobin couldn't help laughing: "Xiaoliang, this kid, has a lot of fans overseas!" ”

—Li Yunlong, who was next to him, laughed when he heard this: "Isn't it? You didn't notice it just now, did you? I just glanced over and saw that the coach of the Swedish national youth team and several main players were also there, and they were also holding the small flag of our Chinese national team, and eighty percent of them were also going to cheer for Xiaoliang. ”

"Just the previous World Youth Championships, after those overseas World Youth Championships players watched Xiao Liang's commentary video, they all cried and shouted that Xiao Liang was their idol, and they opened and closed their mouths to say, 'Su Liang is so cool', these foreign audiences prefer players with distinct personalities, I heard that many players brought back copies of Xiao Liang's commentary, and it is estimated that there are also ice fans overseas who like Xiao Liang because of this."

Hearing Li Yunlong's explanation, Lin Guobin couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, that's good."

No matter what reason these ice fans like Su Liang, this is the first time that Chinese athletes have an international influence.

In the coach's dormitory building of the national team, because the player in charge died and participated in the championships, Jiang Bo's workload has been reduced a lot recently, and he went home early today, brought back the little one from the kindergarten, and watched the live broadcast of the event on TV with the little guy.

Other viewers were more or less excited and interesting for Su Liang's fans, while Jiang Yibo was staring at the live TV broadcast with his brows furrowed.

He also knew that the current players from other countries' teams wanted to fight a physical attrition war against Su Liang, so even if the game hadn't started yet, Jiang Yibo's brows were tightly wrinkled, while accompanying the little ones at home, while worrying about the boss who was far away at the Gothenburg competition site.

***

In everyone's nervous or apprehensive anticipation, the first event of the short track speed skating World Championships in Sweden finally kicked off after the warm-up session of the athletes.

As with the usual regular schedule, the first race on the first day was started by the women's 1500m heats.

A total of 40 players from 20 countries participated in the World Championships.

Because the number of women and men is different, the grouping and promotion rules for the women's and men's divisions are also different.

The women's 1500m preliminaries are divided into 8 preliminaries with 5 competitors in each group, and the top two players in each group will advance directly, and finally the top two players in the remaining non-qualifiers will advance to the semi-finals, with no quarter-finals in between.

The three Liu Yuqing, Lin Meng and Jiang Yufei sent by the women's short track speed skating team of the Chinese national team belong to the three groups of the preliminaries, group 3, group 6 and group 8 respectively.

On the live broadcast commentary seat, Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei introduced the grouping of the women's group and the promotion rules, and the two sighed: "Some viewers may think that there are only 40 players in the women's group, and the number of players is 12 fewer than that of the men's group, and the promotion in the preliminaries is also simpler - but as long as you look at the different promotion rules of the women's group and the men's group, you can know that if you only talk about the difficulty of the preliminaries to advance, in fact, the women's group is more difficult here." ”

"Yes." Liao Yuwei nodded and agreed: "In the preliminary stage of the men's group, there are basically 5 players in each group, and in the case of the same number of players, the top three in each group of the men's group will directly advance to the quarterfinals, with fewer eliminations and a smoother pace of the game." ”

"The preliminaries of the women's team are actually equivalent to the quarterfinals of the men's group, and it is more difficult to advance, and the players have less than one round buffer, so if you want to advance to the semifinals, you must move your form faster in the preliminaries."

"Of course, this is not completely without benefits, one less round, the physical consumption of the players will also be reduced, which has its own advantages and disadvantages - it is precisely because of the various differences in domestic and foreign competitions, so it is also ......very important for our players to adapt to different competition systems and quickly adjust their rhythm and state in different events."

Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei introduced the 1500-meter race system of the women's group while discussing the significance of more athletes participating in the competition, interspersed with the discussion and introduction of the two, the first event of the women's group 1500 meters finally opened, and this game also officially started the first battle of the World Championships!

As Lin Fangzheng and Liao Yuwei introduced, the women's competition, from the preliminaries stage, there has been a faint smell of gunsmoke, and the performance of the players in the preliminaries can be said to be fierce.

Liu Yuqing of the Huaguo team is on the field in such an atmosphere, as one of the most talented young women in the Huaguo team, Liu Yuqing is now being cultivated as the core of the new generation of women's team, and this little girl who has just turned 20 years old this year is a little later than others, but her talent and aura for the short track speed skating project are enough to surprise people.

Just like in the preliminaries just now, Liu Yuqing relied on her keen insight into the opportunities on the field, seized an opportunity to surpass from the inner lane in the middle of the game, and successfully surpassed the top two in one fell swoop, and after surpassing, she firmly guarded her inner lane, leaving no chance for the opponents behind!

Although this was only a preliminary round, the little girl skated very beautifully, and after successfully qualifying, she hugged the coach of the women's team who was guarding the field.

Lin Meng after Liu Yuqing and Jiang Yufei, who substituted for Yao Yao, also appeared later on, and both showed a stable state in the game, among which Jiang Yufei may have appeared as Yao Yao's substitute and wanted to show his strength, so he played very well in the preliminaries, and finally advanced to the semifinals with the first place in the eighth group of the preliminaries.

After the eight preliminaries of the women's group, the audience of the Huaguo team also applauded heartily in front of the TV - these girls of the Huaguo team are all good, and all of them have successfully advanced to the semi-finals!

The preliminaries of the women's group are finally over, and the scene has gone through a round of ice clearing and replenishing ice, and then the players of the men's group began to warm up in groups, and the preliminaries belonging to the men's group will also officially begin!

***

In the audience, Kelway excitedly waved the small flag in his hand and said to his friend Lelvin next to him: "Oh, it's finally going to start!" Men's 1500m men's event! ”

As Lin Fangzheng guessed, Kelway and their 'cool' fans who came to Gothenburg from various countries to watch Su Liang's game really succeeded in catching up, mainly because Kelway and Levin were two good friends with active brains, and specially distributed their business cards at the front desk of the hotel in Gothenburg that was closer to the World Championships, paid a little fee, and asked the front desk of each hotel to ask 'whether they are Su Liang's fans' when checking in for guests.

In this way, they gathered more than a dozen Su Liang fans from all over the world, and even watched the cassette of Su Liang's commentary together a few days before the start of the World Championships.

It's going to be a feast! ’

They all firmly believe that Su Liang will definitely win the first World Championship gold medal of his career at this World Championships!

However, Su Liang's fans also have some well-informed friends, such as Nils Thornberg, a player of the Swedish national youth team.

"Although I also like Sue very much, I want to say that this time, I am afraid that he will not be too easy."

Nils didn't know much about the specific arrangements of the Swedish team, and he spread his hands: "Of course, maybe it will be difficult for Tully and Simon to cause real obstacles to Sue, but I vaguely heard that the players who want to drag Su down are not only from the Swedish team. ”

The two men he men, Tully and Simon, are the two men who will compete in the Swedish national team at the World Championships.

The other Su Liang fans around Nils were not surprised when they heard this.

"Aha, you can know this just by looking at the interview before the player enters the arena, right?"

Before the official start of the game, the electronic large screen at the game site also followed the live broadcast of the local TV station in Gothenburg, Sweden, and interviewed a number of players in the backfield.

However, unlike the apprehensive mentality of domestic ice fans, these foreign fans of Su Liang have an overwhelming trust index for Su Liang!

"Don't worry, Su Ke won't be dragged down by those guys!"

Huang Wei, who was also sitting with Kelway, and several ice fans from China, who were also a little nervous during the pre-game interview, but after getting together with Kelway and their optimistic ice fans, they also became confident about the upcoming event!

"Come on! I'm sure Su Liang won't have any problems! ”

Tully Allison is a member of the Swedish short track speed skating team and a regular candidate for the World Championships in Sweden.

After the preliminary group list of this competition came out and it was confirmed that he would compete in the same group as Su Liang, who won the men's 1500m gold medal in the World Cup for 4 consecutive stops, his coach had already told him how to deal with Su from the Chinese team - this young player who is not even 18 years old is naturally weaker than their adult players in terms of physical fitness and strength!

According to his coach, after the World Championships start, not only their Swedish team, but as long as it is a team in the same group as Su Liang, they will definitely try their best to suppress Su Liang.

Of course, Tully also believes in his coach's judgment, after all, no one wants to see a guy who can win four consecutive World Cup titles become their opponent in the final.
