Lao Gao and the others distributed Uruguay's technical information that they had prepared long ago to everyone and asked everyone to read it first. They will hold a tactical meeting in the morning after tomorrow's morning training. After a good night's sleep, Wang Ai went to the Tao training ground early in the morning with everyone.
After running laps, I returned to the hotel with my body full of heat to have breakfast. After everything was ready, I came to the conference room.
This is an old tradition of this national team. Before every game, a tactical discussion meeting involving everyone must be held. The coaching staff is responsible for formulating the meeting process and formulating the discussion content. The players express their opinions and argue endlessly. Even judging from the speeches, the players
It takes significantly longer than the coach. The rhythm of the meeting is controlled by Wang Ai or other captains, so that the team members can fully speak and their ideas collide and integrate, while also ensuring that they do not deviate from the basic direction set by the coach.
Of course, if the players' speeches are particularly valuable, the coach's planning ideas will also change. This is the reason why Lao Gao agreed to the establishment of this mechanism. Another arrogant coach may not necessarily agree. I can only say that Wang Ai gave Lao Gao
It’s a good foundation, although it’s a bit strange to say that.
After discussion, everyone's views on this game gradually became clear. The Uruguay team is a typical South American team, with outstanding personal skills and strong attack, but its defense is average. There are two methods to deal with such opponents: one is
Defensive counterattack is based on strangling the opponent's attack and penetrating the counterattack; the other is total attack and total defense, especially the method of controlling the ball, which completely reduces the opponent's efficiency on both offense and defense, thereby ultimately winning
.
Because another victory against Spain in the last game really improved the Chinese team's self-confidence, everyone suggested that Lao Gao should not use defensive counterattacks and use normal combat methods to face the opponent.
Lao Gao, Lao Fan and others studied it and finally made the decision: just listen to everyone!
That's not all. During the discussion, someone suggested that captain Wang Ai should take a truce? One is that his condition is not very good, and he needs to rest and recuperate. The other is to see if the Tai Chi Bagua array can be turned around after leaving him.
, can I still walk without his crutch?
Wang Ai himself was not very good at talking about this, so he could only look at others. Chen Tao was habitually invisible, and being the captain or not was a symbol of seniority to him, so Wang Ai could only look at Zhao Xuri.
Zhao Xuri suddenly felt the pressure, but he would eventually come up with a unified opinion on behalf of the players to confront the coach, so he nodded with difficulty: "I also think that facing an opponent like Uruguay, we can give it a try."
Lao Gao, Lao Fan and others discussed it again and still agreed: Let’s do it!
So, at 3 o'clock in the morning on the 24th, BJ time, Superstar's third group match, Wang Ai decisively sat on the bench... Lao Gao, Lao Fan, Zhao Xuri and the others were not arrogant enough to let Wang Ai stand in the stands.
.
With Wang Ai sitting on the sidelines, and out of a variety of show-off mentality of "giving the boss a good look", the team members were in particularly good condition in this game. If it weren't for the silence of the boss, they would have wanted to fly up and show Wang Ai.
The game was a bit thrilling. All the tactics originally planned around Wang Ai failed because of Wang Ai's sudden failure. This gave the Chinese team a clear tactical advantage. First, Zhao Xuri succeeded with a long shot shortly after the opening, and then another shot from a long distance.
Chen Tao scored a beautiful lob. Although the Uruguay team responded shortly afterwards, the Chinese team scored another one from Dong Fangzhuo. This was only the first half.
In the second half, the venue was changed, and the Uruguay team changed two more people, but it had no obvious effect. Instead, they received a red card. This also made the second half and even the entire game lose suspense early. The Chinese team no longer vigorously pursued offense, but
Patiently and meticulously organized defense, firmly controlling the game and score.
When the sun set and the final whistle sounded, the Uruguayans bid farewell to this Confederations Cup with a long sigh. The Chinese team celebrated their victory. At the dinner that included family members in the evening, a bunch of assholes ran up to Wang Ai and yelled.
.
After being suppressed by Wang Ai for more than ten years, he finally managed to get a small revenge on him, and his teammates did not hesitate to take action.
"Aren't you angry?" After the teammates finished arguing and the dinner was finished, Xu Qinglian accompanied Wang Ai for a walk in the hotel garden.
"Why are you angry? At worst, I'll just score a few more goals. You don't know your man's shooting ability yet?"
Xu Qinglian pretended to be innocent, pinched Wang Ai secretly with her hand and said, "I heard it." But she said something else: "If you don't win this game, those people will have to say that you and Director Gao are not good.
"
"Go ahead." Wang Ai laughed: "Don't you care about anything else?"
"I care." Xu Qinglian hugged Wang Ai's arm and smiled: "The most talked about is the next game."
"Semifinals." Wang Ai pulled Xu Qinglian down the corridor, tried the swing in the garden, and pulled Xu Qinglian to sit down side by side.
Xu Qinglian held the rope with her hands and pushed the ground with her feet. She and Wang Ai started shaking together and then said: "No, it's Brazil! The discussion is all about Brazil."
"What's wrong with Brazil? The host?" Wang Ai turned his head strangely: "Brazil, oh..."
"You figured it out? That's Brazil."
"Yes, Brazil." Wang Ai also nodded with emotion: "Actually, Brazil is not as strong as before. After Ronaldo and Ronaldo die, there is obviously a talent gap."
"But in the minds of the public, especially ordinary fans, their understanding of the reality of football is often a few years or more behind. Even some professional fans will make errors in their judgments of football strength due to their own emotions and memory.
"
"So, do you think we will lose more?" Wang Ai asked curiously.
"Obviously there are not that many losers, but the majority are cautious and fearful, hehe." Xu Qinglian laughed: "How about it, can I be useful?"
"Yeah." Wang Ai responded, using his feet to block the swing even more.
Amid Xu Qinglian's giggles, Wang Ai spoke in a leisurely and unhurried tone: "Speaking of which, the last time we officially played against the Brazilian team was in the 2002 World Cup group stage. That Brazilian team was at its peak. Hey, it's been many years."
"It's a coincidence that we haven't met each other in these years, not even in the warm-up matches." Xu Qinglian pressed her skirt in the wind blowing from the swing, stretched her calves, and said happily: "I heard that many Brazilian stars can do this.
Come to the scene.”
"Hmm... report on the performance? Mine? Oh, speaking of Lao Fan, Lao Su, Lao Li were still my teammates at the time, and now I'm the only one left."
"It's just a rehearsal at most, and the official performance will be next year." Xu Qinglian turned to look at Wang Ai with a smile: "How about my super giant man, do you want to give everyone a surprise?"
Wang Ai sniffed through his nose, let out a sigh, and said eagerly: "Let them see what a super giant is first...I'll let you see what a super giant is when I get home!"
"Oh, I'll wait!"
