When the draw results came out in December last year, people immediately said that the Chinese team was hacked. As the last champion, although they participated in few international events such as warm-up matches and were ranked second in the international rankings, it was too much to be in the same group as the first point.
It's too much. In this regard, the Chinese Football Association, the national team coaching staff and team leader Wang Ai have not expressed their stance. The Chinese Football Association is scratching their heads in confusion, Lao Gao is pretending to have a language barrier, and Wang Ai is... indifferent!
What's wrong with Belgium? For Wang Ai, who has long been determined to win the championship, no matter who he is in the group with, he is the target to beat. If he can't beat Belgium, which is ranked first, how can he win the championship?
Of course, Belgium is also feeling aggrieved. It ranks first because it played a lot of warm-up matches and performed well. If it is put together with the Chinese team, which has performed very well in major competitions in recent years, it is also being blackmailed.
But if the Chinese team and the Belgian team feel aggrieved, then Algeria will have nothing to say, and Russia will be too angry to speak.
Russia is the host country for the next World Cup. As a result, this World Cup ranks first and second together. Although Algeria is a chicken, there are only two places in the group qualifying. Is there any difference? If it weren't for the draw, it was three years earlier than the Crimean crisis.
Month, this is a complete conspiracy against Russia.
On June 11, all members of Team H finally arrived, but only Russia was in Cuiabá. The matches between Belgium and Algeria were in another city. The Chinese team and the Russian team were divided into morning and afternoon to adapt to the venue.
Didn't meet.
In the evening one day later, with the sunset outside the window and the fruit on the table, all members of the national team watched the opening game of this World Cup: the host country Brazil versus Croatia in the large conference room of the country villa.
Except for Wang Ai, no one knows that this Brazilian team, which is still shining with stars, is essentially a parallel import. Anyway, it can’t be seen from the game at all. The 4 goals scored in the whole game were all scored by Brazil. It’s just that Marcelo, a second-rate importer, scored.
After scoring an own goal, Neymar, who is known as the leader of Brazil's new generation of stars, performed well. Everyone expressed their appreciation for him. His speed, footwork, vision, awareness and even jumping are all worth mentioning, but no one noticed that Neymar was too
light.
He is now regarded as the only player who can challenge the three super giants, so Wang Ai can't say anything. It's still unclear whether he can meet the Brazilian team. The coaching staff doesn't take it too seriously. After watching the opening game, it's a long shot.
After attending the opening ceremony and fulfilling their obligations, everyone began to watch the Russian team's game videos in recent years.
With the analysis, the coach watched and pondered by himself, and then interacted with each other. After a few days, he had almost figured out Capello's tactical thinking of the Russian team. In the process, the Chinese team's targeted play style was also perfected, and the core
The tactical system remains unchanged and needs to be targeted to a certain extent. There is no need to adjust it entirely according to the characteristics of the opponent.
The world champion is a defender, not a challenger, and should be based on me.
In the busy day after day, several newcomers are increasingly adapting to the training rhythm and learning atmosphere of the national team, and Lao Gao is gradually giving up power to Lao Tang, and in fact begins to assume the role of "head coach". Unless problems are discovered, otherwise
Old Tang is responsible for everything.
Of course, Lao Fan and the others have also gotten more opportunities to practice their own football concepts, but after many years of cooperation, they are generally not much different from Lao Gao. The national team only needs to be repaired, and does not need to be turned upside down.
On June 18th, the match day of Group H has finally arrived. The performance of the world's No. 1 team and the No. 2 team will be revealed on this day.
At one o'clock that afternoon, the Belgian team defeated Algeria 2:1 at the Mineirao Arena in Belo Horizonte. It was slightly regrettable that they did not show the strength of the world's number one. The press could only focus on it.
The battle between China and Russia at 7pm local time.
It seems to be a deliberate arrangement, or it may be a pure coincidence. The opening days of the three super giants in the World Cup are close to each other. The day before yesterday it was Cristiano Ronaldo, yesterday it was Messi, and today it is Wang Ai. Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal was defeated by the German team 4
:0 bloodbath, the qualifying situation is dangerous. Although Argentina defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 2:1, it benefited from an own goal. Messi scored a goal to maintain the style of the super giants. Today it is the turn of the three super giants who can score the most goals.
Wang Ai is convinced. Whether he can show off his power as a super giant and clearly tell the outside world that a super giant is a super giant depends on this game.
In the early morning of June 19th, bj time, the Russian team in dark red jerseys and the Chinese team in snow-white jerseys were already standing in the middle of the milky white Pantanal Arena lawn on TV. The stands were occupied by fans from China, Russia and Brazil.
Occupied, the Chinese national anthem is playing now...
Wang Ai, the tallest man, stood at the front of the row, with his hands tied and frowning, his expression heavy and high-spirited, and he opened his mouth to sing the national anthem. The very close camera even recorded his singing. At this time, no one laughed at him because he was out of tune because of his expression and his singing.
, is more important than whether the singing sounds good or not.
After a while, the singing ended, and the stadium was filled with cheers and applause.
Immediately, the Russian national anthem sounded, and the Russians who came from afar seemed to be affected by the Chinese people singing the national anthem in unison, and they also sang in unison.
The two choruses of the whole audience gave this game a tragic color inexplicably.
It was not until the Chinese team, led by Wang Ai, all turned around, shook hands with their opponents and smiled, that the tense and depressing atmosphere eased slightly. It was not until this moment that Liu Jianhong and the guest Yang Chen, who had just been silent, began to introduce the Chinese team.
The starting lineup, although most fans will recognize it.
"The starting forwards are Gao Lin and Dong Fangzhuo, the midfielders are Wang Ai, Chen Tao, Zhao Xuri, and Zhou Haibin, the four captains, the central defenders are Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linfan, Zhang Chengdong, and Guo Liang, and the goalkeeper is Zeng Cheng. Yang Chen, you see this lineup has
what idea?"
"Personally, I feel that the younger generation has completely taken over this national team." Yang Chen continued according to the script he had written long ago: "This is the most glorious team in the history of Chinese football, and probably in the history of Asian football. They
From the Asian Youth Championship more than ten years ago, they have won all the championships they participated in. After three World Cups, they finally fully grew into the mainstay of the national team."
Liu Jianhong heard what Yang Chen said smoothly, so he didn't rush to interrupt. Yang Chen naturally sighed: "Some of them grow faster, such as Xiao Wang'er, who has participated in four World Cups. Some of them grow slower,
For example, Xiao Zeng did not become the main goalkeeper until this World Cup. But no matter what, they have been brothers side by side for more than ten years. There must be many stories worth telling. Frankly speaking, I envy them and their achievements.
I also envy them for accompanying me all the way.”
