When it comes to feelings, everyone and Lao Gao have long been indistinguishable from each other. Wang Ai and Lao Gao are closer and more casual, but the others are not bad either. As the head of this team, Lao Gao needs to be concerned about
There are too many things. Several team members whose native families were unhappy encountered a lot of troubles and even obstacles after becoming famous. They all relied on Lao Gao to find a way or even directly intervene to help solve the problem. This way, the original team's integrity was preserved as much as possible.
It is complete and retains the most precious tacit understanding of the national team.
Wang Ai can help his teammates with their career prospects, but he is helpless when it comes to problems with his family of origin, because he is of the same age. When discussing future matters together, the brothers can talk freely, but when it comes to their own families, it is always difficult to talk about it.
Lao Gao is much more convenient.
To most people, Lao Gao is both a father and a mother. He has accompanied these children from being unknown to being famous all over the world, from being a naughty boy on the training ground to being a husband and a father. These 16 years have been the journey of this group of children.
The best age for team members is also the best age for Lao Gao.
The salary of the national team coach has risen to 10 million, but for Lao Gao, he could have earned 20 million or 30 million in a professional team, but he still chose the national team. He said he was reluctant to leave this team and wanted to lead the team.
It makes sense to create more brilliant achievements and even be compensated financially through advertising endorsements, but there is also a factor of being reluctant to let go of these children. Many people have become accustomed to him and are used to being willful under his command.
In the days when you can say whatever you want, you will inevitably suffer and be wronged if you really bring trouble to others. In the end, there is also a strong meaning of repaying the country, but if he doesn't say it, others won't say it either.
Before yesterday, everyone had not clearly realized this problem. Everyone was still looking up at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, and everyone was still lowering their heads and calculating how to deal with the powerful enemy of the Dutch team.
The fog cleared and we were back in front of the Hercules Cup. Especially when we saw that the media from all over the world described the next game as "the last battle", it was as if we had collectively come to our senses and realized that we were in front of the World Cup.
The difference is right in front of you.
The silence in the cabin was in sharp contrast to the low-pitched technical and tactical discussions in a corner of the cabin. This weird atmosphere lasted until the plane landed, the coaching team's discussion ended, and it didn't end when Old Tang and the others called everyone to pack their luggage and prepare to get off the plane.
Once it was stable, Lao Gao slowly came up from behind.
The emotions of the team members were about to blurt out, but Lao Gao just glanced back at the cabin indifferently, said: "Let's go", and then left first.
Everyone had no choice but to take a deep breath, suppress the melancholy in their hearts, stand up one by one, get off the plane one by one, and force themselves to focus on the game again.
There is no "loving mother" in the national team, only a "strict father". Only a "strict father" can hone men with a will as strong as steel.
When the bus arrived, everyone discovered that the familiar "seaside villa" appeared again, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how good the hotel is, there will inevitably be people coming and going, and the environment will inevitably be cramped and depressing. This seaside villa with clear sky is better
.No matter how high the sky is, how big the sea is, how relaxed your actions will be, and how free your mind will be.
The leader of the last World Cup was Vidi, but in fact it was Leonie who made the final decision in daily affairs, so she received a treatment that no previous national team had ever received. The cost was another factor, and the key was that social criticism and perception were not very good.
When most Chinese people were still "living in snail's nest", when you went abroad to compete and lived in villas, were you doing it to bring glory to the country or to enjoy it?
Such questions frequently appeared on social media after the last World Cup, so Guo Bingyan, who led the team for this World Cup, made adjustments. However, it was not blocked at Leonie's suggestion. Leonie told him about the accommodation conditions.
The difference will affect the mental state of the players and the team. Relatively speaking, a spacious villa can cultivate a more relaxed state, while a hotel can maintain a more tense state.
Therefore, there are multiple options for where the national team will live, and decisions will be made based on the recommendations of the coaching staff.
Staying in a villa during the finals period was exactly what the coaching staff suggested. The reason was that everyone was very tired. Not to mention how difficult the two games in Argentina and the Netherlands were, the pace of a World Cup game every three or four days was not easy either. It was equivalent to three and a half days.
A doubleheader of the week.
In order to relieve fatigue, conserve energy, and give the main players a chance to breathe, this slightly small but very peaceful seaside villa appeared.
After putting away their luggage and assigning rooms, everyone went to the restaurant on the first floor to eat. After accompanying everyone for 20 days, the Chinese chef from afar had figured out the nutritional meal requirements of the coaching staff and the individual taste preferences of the team members.
The lunch was hearty and delicious, which relieved everyone's mood.
After an hour's lunch break, the coaching staff convened a game summary meeting. From the coaching staff's tactical design to the players' in-game execution, from technical application to organizational cooperation, from offensive and defensive transitions to the dismantling of the opponent's tactics, from offense to defense, from
Collectively and individually, we should be praised when we should be praised and scolded when we should be scolded.
The terms and conditions are detailed and clear. There is no exception in the tactical summary meeting. The coach must admit when he is wrong, and the players must be scolded when they are wrong. The coach must improve in the summary, and the players must also improve in the summary. There is no super giant here, no
The best in 50 years, some are just members of the group.
The summary meeting lasted until the evening. After dinner and a short rest, everyone headed to the training ground to start restorative training, and at the same time incorporated some targeted training based on the coaches' preliminary assessment of the next opponent.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the tired team members were standing or sitting in the training ground. This was a good time for everyone to summarize the day's training experience. Old Tang also sat among everyone, listening to everyone's discussion, interjecting from time to time, and of course from time to time.
was refuted by the team members.
Lao Gao, on the other hand, was sitting alone on a gloomy bench on the sidelines, with only the occasional sparks showing that there was someone there.
Wang Ai, who had just gone to the toilet, strolled back, stood in front of Lao Gao and glared at him. After a while, Wang Ai said, "I thought you didn't feel anything."
Lao Gao laughed and shook his head, moved his buttocks: "Sit down."
Wang Ai was sitting in the spotlight. Lao Gao took two long puffs and put out the cigarette butt. He stood up and threw it into the trash can. He came back and sat down again, looking at the brightly lit place in the middle of the lively training ground where sometimes the team members were fighting with each other.
.
Thousands of words, thousands of words, all turned into silence at this time, side by side under the shade of the trees and in the night.
The two men, as silent as a mountain, just quietly enjoyed the countdown of their time together.
The road ahead is still bright, and this time is infinitely beautiful.
