Sitting on the flight to Johannesburg, Wang Ai flipped through the major European sports newspapers published today.
Madrid's football commentators described the Chinese team's defensive system yesterday as "sticky". Milan's commentators noticed that the Chinese team's players were relatively close together and the overall formation was very compact, which was very similar to what AC Milan admired. They speculated that "The Emperor of China"
"Perhaps this football concept was taken away from the city of Milan and helped the Chinese team improve its defensive efficiency.
But the focus of yesterday's game was not this one, but the collision between Spain and Brazil. Although the Portuguese team and the Chinese team each have two superstars in the professional arena, they are only two of them, and their overall strength and attention are far less than those of the other teams.
Spain, which is a star, is not as good as Brazil, which is always a candidate for the championship.
Therefore, there are not many reports about the Chinese team, and even fewer are in-depth, and no one can notice the Chinese team’s tactics. In this regard, Europeans and even South Americans are very proud. They do not think that football is a desert.
What new tactical system can the Far Eastern countries develop?
Naturally, the Chinese team will not go around shouting. If they can get to the end, it doesn't matter whether they talk or not. If they can't get to the end, then talking about it will only make people laugh.
Different from the slightly dull outside world, the domestic response was quite enthusiastic.
Fans watching the game in the middle of the night posted on the Internet to celebrate. This is another time that the Chinese team has entered the quarterfinals of the World Cup. There are only three games left before the goal shouted by Wang Ai. Some fans even directly suggested that the national team should not let Wang Ai
Don't restrain yourself when playing midfield. Let Wang Ai play center. He only needs to play hard for three games.
Of course, the official media began to report intensively early the next morning. This time, the top three East Asian teams joined forces to enter the World Cup finals. As a result, today, the Chinese team is the only one left. People in the system cannot laugh at Japan and South Korea, but they are secretly happy.
definitely.
As for the undercurrent within the football world, the meeting at the Olympic Sports Center is still going on. Although there are meeting disciplines, these old men can't say anything to the outside world or to their disciples, but those who are most concerned about and familiar with Gao Jiajun are the domestic ones.
These people in the football world can tell just by looking at it that Gao Jiajun’s reforms have been successful. Of course there are many things that need to be summarized and understood.
Who among ordinary people would dare to use Wang Ai as a midfielder?
Since it is used, it must be useful.
Even if it doesn't make sense, as long as the Chinese team wins another game, it will make sense.
So far, the Chinese team's competition record, Gao Hongbo has gone from the national junior to the National Olympics, and even the national team has tied with foreign coach Ali Hahn. People's expectations are that the Chinese team will most likely be able to take another step forward. Because Ali Hahn last time
Being able to lead the team to a breakthrough is related to the strong support provided by Gao Jiajun. Wang Ai was discovered by Gao Hongbo, and Bai Guanghai and the others were "trained" by Wang Ai. Now that Gao Hongbo is on the field in person, the national team will only be more united.
, more combat effectiveness.
As long as he goes one step further, Lao Gao will dare to understand what "freedom of speech" means when he returns to China! He is just talking nonsense, and everyone who listens has to nod in agreement. If Wang Ai has improved the confidence of Chinese football in local players, then Lao Gao
High is that it has improved the confidence of Chinese football in local coaches, even tactical confidence, and system confidence!
These are all far-reaching.
After arriving in Johannesburg, they boarded the bus sent by the organizing committee. Everyone relaxed and chatted while admiring the scenery of the city. After arriving at the hotel and being picked up by Ma Dong and assigned to their respective rooms, everyone was ready to rest in the hotel for a day and start preparing for the game tomorrow.
.
Wang Ai, who was chatting with Chen Tao in the room, heard a knock on the door. Yan Zhu came in and said that the team leader wanted to invite him. Wang Ai got up and put on his slippers and went to Yan Shiduo's room. He found that Lao Gao and several coaches were also there, so he said hello and sat down.
next to.
Not long after the meeting, Zhang Jilong, who was answering the phone in the next room, came back and nodded to Yan Shiduo, and the meeting began.
"The superiors are very satisfied in all aspects." Yan Shiduo said with a smile: "I received a call last night, praising the skills, tactics and spirit of the national team so far. I hope we will continue to work hard."
Now Yan Shiduo is the deputy director of the General Administration of Sports. He is no longer qualified to represent a high-level superior like before. As soon as he finished speaking, applause rang out in the small conference room.
"Originally, I shouldn't interfere in your competition. I've said this before, professional people do professional things. I'm not a professional, so I won't say anything." Yan Shiduo looked at Gao Hongbo: "So I just started.
Let’s talk about other aspects, there are some things that you might not notice if I don’t mention them.”
Gao Hongbo's face was expressionless, Wang Ai's face was curious, and Yan Shiduo said slowly: "First, the results are now the same as the previous year. Both leaders and fans in the country are very satisfied. You have laid the groundwork in this regard in advance.
It worked. Everyone's morale was not so high, which gave us a lot of space. But from our own point of view, to achieve the best results in history, of course it is better to break through, right? From the top eight to the top four, everyone will be more optimistic.
satisfy."
Everyone nodded. The tolerance of superiors and fans only changed everyone's situation and made everyone less stressed. But from the perspective of competition itself, breakthroughs are of course more valuable.
"Second..." Yan Shiduo paused at this point: "Second, I only represent myself, not the General Administration of Sports, nor my superiors. I just want to remind you personally that Paraguay has no diplomatic relations with us.
"
"Huh?" Everyone raised their heads.
Wang Ai's mind turned: "Taiwan?"
Seeing Yan Shiduo smiling and nodding, Wang Ai slapped him in the face: "It turns out he is a friend of the Chiang bandits! They are an enemy country that interferes in our internal affairs, supports separatist forces, and refuses to repent!"
Zhang Jilong smiled and shook his head: "I passed, you can't say that."
Wang Ai curled his lips: "I can think so in my heart."
Yan Shiduo chuckled and said: "The organization doesn't care what you think in your heart, but you are not allowed to say it or make any political statements! Of course, how the competition is played is still your professional business, and the organization doesn't care."
"Hehe." Wang Ai's teeth flashed: "Hehe."
Coming out of the team leader's room, Fan Zhiyi put his arm around Wang Ai's shoulders: "What's wrong? Is your fighting spirit burning?"
Li Bing looked at Wang Ai who was deliberately clenching his fists and breathing heavily and felt funny: "First of all, we should consider the breakthrough. To reach the semi-finals is to be the first in Chinese history. I have explained all aspects. It is enough."
.”
Ou Chuliang, who is not very familiar with Wang Ai, also advised: "Just don't be distracted, just talk about football."
"Actually..." Lao Gao, who had been thinking about it, suddenly stopped: "On the contrary, I think that Xiao Wang'er can be allowed to play forward for once."
