This Portuguese national team is the most powerful team in history, and it is also the only World Cup where the two stars Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo have joined forces. Figo is now 34 years old, and the sun is setting, but he cannot persevere.
Too long. Although Cristiano Ronaldo is far from mature, he has already shown the potential of a superstar. Although this era does not belong to him, a 21-year-old youngster.
Most of the other players come from powerful teams in the five major leagues. If you look at the data purely on paper, they can be called luxurious.
This is why the Chinese team rushed to Europe during the warm-up match between the two sides. At the end of last year, FIFA announced the latest rankings of the world's national teams. The Chinese team ranked 32nd, which happened to be the last place in the World Cup quota. Yes.
It was a legitimate success, and Portugal ranked 7th.
If world football is a stage play, then the Portuguese team is already a minor character with many lines, while the Chinese team has just moved from the stage to the stage and is now responsible for playing the role of corpses, but this is what we hope for.
For many years. Otherwise, the Chinese fans are great. Instead of the national football team being the protagonist, just go up and act like a corpse felled by a single shot.
The Football Association is already satisfied, but Wang Ai and the others are thinking about how to cheat. Compared with the last year, there were only three or four overseas players. This time, more than half of the overseas players are overseas, so their results should be better.
The accompanying reporters also asked this question, but the team members were cautious. The two captains, Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi, simply avoided the question. When asked urgently, they all blamed Wang Ai. They knew that Wang Ai
They have rich experience in dealing with reporters. They have never gone out of line in their major speeches. In the past, due to their status, these two had to speak without speaking. Now that Wang Ai came up, they simply passed the responsibility to Wang Ai.
Faced with the reporter's eager eyes, Wang Ai directly poured cold water on him: "Don't think too much, it's not a big deal if there are many overseas players. They are all overseas players. Don't think about eating a fat man in one bite. I have never dared in my entire career.
If you want to win the Hercules Cup, you'd better lower your hopes to be happy."
This reporter, who was still in his thirties and seemed to be dumbfounded, was hit hard, but he still refused to give in. He muttered in a low voice: "Can't you have some ambition?"
Wang Ai rolled his eyes: "You can do it. We are not the X-Men and have no superpowers. Besides, what's wrong with you being so passionate? On the stage of the World Cup, it happens once every four years. Who wouldn't risk their lives?"
Wang Ai felt that this matter should not be taken lightly. Seeing that the national football team has performed well in recent years, the fans' tastes have also improved, and the media also thinks that we are not doing so well. This is not a good thing. The goals should be lenient and the execution should be strict.
, this is the correct way to open up. If the goal is set too high, and in the end it is not achieved, or it is achieved very awkwardly, the external perception will not be good.
The national football team has finally overcome the criticism and cannot let the outside world get too excited. But if you look at the domestic sports newspapers recently, almost all those who are looking forward to the World Cup are talking about reaching the top 16, as if qualifying from the group is easy.
.But they also don’t think about it. Without Wang Ai in the last World Cup, the Chinese team would have scored two goals at most, and might not have scored a goal, losing all three games. With such a poor foundation, they immediately want to marry Bai Fumei. This is not clear-headed.
?
Thanks to the fact that the head of the Football Association is still Yan Shiduo, it is still stable. At least the Football Association has never said that it wants to enter the top 16. The goal is even lower than the previous one: just win one game. Otherwise, the Football Association will have a head.
After giving orders, the atmosphere became even more frenzied.
After dealing with the reporters, Wang Ai thought for a moment and then went to Wu Jingui and Chen Jingang, and asked Zhao Xuri to call the two captains Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi, as well as the two veterans Lao Hao and Li Ming. Wang Ai analyzed it with everyone.
Potential dangers in the public opinion environment: Among other things, our neighbors, North Korea has entered the quarter-finals, and South Korea has entered the semi-finals. Can't they compare with Europeans, and can't they compare with their Asian neighbors? This is the potential psychological height of our domestic fans.
.Now we didn’t make it out of the last group, so we were called the top 16. If we are lucky enough to qualify from the group in Germany in June, they will immediately call us the top 8, top 4, and even enter the finals.
"It's natural that China should be stronger than the two countries on the peninsula, right? China, the world's most populous country, deserves to win the Hercules Cup, right?"
These are all very simple psychological rules, but if we really set the fans' hopes so high, they will be disappointed 100% of the time. If they are disappointed, they will scold us, and then our good relationship with the media and the fans will be destroyed.
.In this way, the next time the national team is formed, it will face many unpredictable risks. For example, if there is too much criticism from the outside world, our leaders, our coaches, and our players will not have strong self-confidence. If there is too much criticism, our
High wages will make people jealous. If there are too many scoldings, each of us will have fewer advertising endorsement opportunities. In short, we cannot let this problem go unchecked.
The two coaches, two captains, and two veterans frowned and listened to Wang Ai's words without saying a word. When it came to the emerging science of communication, they didn't understand it either. They could only analyze it from an instinctive perspective, but for a moment
For a moment I didn't know what to do.
"Let's lose the warm-up match against Portugal." Wang Ai thought for a long time and came up with an idea.
Wu Jingui and Chen Jingang looked at each other and said hesitantly: "It doesn't matter if you lose or win in the warm-up match. Winning is mainly to improve your confidence. You overseas players, especially you and the forwards like Xiaobai and Lao Hao
, you are not afraid of losing a game. But you still have to make it clear to everyone, don’t be so unconfident.”
Wang Ai nodded: "I will tell everyone, of course I am not saying that we are going to lose, but that we have to focus on practicing tactics. I will be a substitute in the game. Brother Zhi, Brother Li, you should also be careful."
The two nodded.
"We are not playing match-fixing, but more purely using actual combat to practice tactics. In the past warm-up matches, we practiced tactics while strengthening our confidence. This time we don't need to strengthen our confidence and just practice tactics." Wang Ai added: "We
We must strive to pass a few warm-up games to hone our tactical coordination. Ali has led the team for more than three years and has been 442. We do not seek to change the formation, but we must use this formation more skillfully and let different opponents pass.
The game will help us find faults. At the same time, in terms of technology, pay attention to the practice of our overall fluid play, especially in the offensive aspect. As for the score...it is best to lose all the warm-up games!"
Wu Jingui chewed his teeth: "You have to talk to the head coach when it comes to tactics, technology, and winning or losing games, right?"
