On May 19, the national football team played a warm-up match with the visiting PSV Eindhoven team at the Shanghai Stadium, and ended up losing 0:1. Wang Ai came on as a substitute in the second half, and as usual, he made no mistakes and was quite satisfactory. But
The National Football Team had 13 shots in the game, but none of them hit the goal frame. The National Football Team's forwards, who usually score a lot of goals in the league, were in a sluggish state.
If we look at it for a longer period of time, an extremely frightening fact will appear in front of everyone: from 2002 to the present, the national football team has played five warm-up matches, failed to win any of them, and only scored one goal in total!
Hong Kong United, Slovenia National Team, South Korea National Team, Uruguay National Team, PSV Eindhoven, the opponents selected by the Football Association are all slightly stronger than the national football team, but how come they only scored one goal? One or two players are in good condition.
A slump is not scary, but what is scary is that the whole team is in a slump without any warning. If Hao Haidong doesn't come in, replace him with Su Maozhen. If Su Maozhen doesn't come in, replace him with Yang Chen. If Yang Chen doesn't come in, replace him with Zhang Yuning... It doesn't matter who he is.
It doesn't work, even Qu Bo, the young man chasing the wind, is inexplicably in poor condition.
The leaders were at a loss what to do and were running around anxiously. Originally, Qu Bo was the star of hope, but it turned out to be difficult. Thirteen years ago, the second national team led by Gao Fengwen participated in the Seoul Olympics, but failed to score a single goal in three games and was ridiculed by the outside world.
Being called the "least enterprising team" is a great shame. If I had known this, I might as well have not gone! But now this national team, seven years after becoming professional, has high hopes from the whole country and has created everything.
The conditions were everything that could be given, so why is this like this? It’s enough to lose face once, so why is this happening again? Even if we lost the game, we still scored two goals.
The tradition of New China's sports industry is that if you lose the game, you must not lose the talent. It doesn't matter if we lose the game. We are not as strong as we are, but we don't have the mental state to dare to fight!
In fact, after the third warm-up match with South Korea, the Football Association discovered this dangerous sign. Even Yuan Weimin, the very busy CEO of China's sports industry, held a meeting at the Football Association to study this issue:
What's going on? What went wrong? Why can't we score? Is it because we don't have enough fighting spirit? No, players are frequently injured in warm-up matches. It can't be said that they don't work hard enough. Is it because they are too tired? No,
The league has canceled promotion and relegation, what else can we do? What kind of salary is not enough? That's not the case. Not only do these national football teams receive a salary in the club, they also receive a salary in the national football team, and the national football team's salary is also very special.
It was turned up many times, then...then what the hell is going on?
After qualifying for the World Cup last year, the Football Association held a special meeting and asked that this time it will not be ridiculed as the "least promising team" like last time. It was too embarrassing. But... the officials of the Football Association were scratching their hair.
I just can’t figure it out. People in the invited circle and even people outside the circle are confused when I listen to their opinions. They are all talking about it and they can’t understand it in the first place.
In desperation, the Football Association had to invite the Thai Olympic team to participate in the warm-up match. The national football team finally lived up to expectations and beat the opponent 3:1... Look, not even the Thai national team dared to invite them! Otherwise, the Hongta Youth Team would have nothing to lose.
Okay, Hongta Team Three brought it over and let the national football team beat it 7 or 8-0 or something. At least it gave the national football team a sense of shooting.
Unexpectedly, the next games against Uruguay and Eindhoven would be like this again. The full-time vice chairman Yan Shiduo was full of words and Nan Yong was scratching his head anxiously. It is obviously useless to hold a meeting to encourage everyone at this time, let alone this
I don’t know how many meetings have been held in the past two years, and how many efforts have been made, but everyone still understands the principle of "three drums and exhaustion". Even if it is held, even if the old Red Army is invited to talk about the history of the revolution, the team members are all
Trying your best will not solve the problem. At least in the warm-up match with Uruguay, the national football team was not ugly and fought hard enough. Even Fan Zhiyi was injured. How dare you blow the charge horn?
The problem now is that hard work cannot solve the problem of not scoring goals!
At this time, the discipline of the team, the spirit of fighting, and so on are all ignored. If you don't score goals, it's all nonsense. Even if you educate the whole team into martyrs who dare to block the eye-catching, it's useless.
Not a war!
If the sky full of gods and Buddhas works, the Football Association will definitely dare to grab the first incense at this time. In fact, it is useless. When Liaozu was in a sluggish state last year, Zhang Yin led Liaozu to go to the incense, and the result would be whatever it was!
If Buddha statues could talk, they would probably say at this time: I don’t usually burn incense and come here to hold the Buddha’s feet, it’s really cool!
This is why Nan Yong did not insist on his opinion in the end and agreed to Milut's recruitment of Wang Ai into the team. This is also why after the conflict between Wang Ai and Zhu Heyuan, Team Leader Zhu took the lead in reflecting. Many leaders of the Football Association are Gu
Wang Ai is not pleasing to the eye, but at this time, he is so angry that he still cares whether he is disgusting or not? Just like Liaozu treated Wang Hongli in the past. As soon as he heard your name was Lao Wang, he knew that you were not a good person, but at the critical moment, he still had skin.
Please don't laugh at me.
Before the match against Eindhoven, Nan Yong went to Wang Ai's room to talk to him, asking him to score a goal in the game! As a result, Wang Ai smiled, shrugged and shook his head, looking at the face of this football strongman.
It turns red within seconds.
"Captain, I joined the national team too late. Now I am familiar with the national team's system and habits through games. You have to give me some time. Isn't this also the purpose of the warm-up match?"
Wang Ai said seriously and sincerely that he did not want to cause Nan Yong to have a myocardial infarction. Apart from the economic crime problem, this man usually worked diligently and responsibly. Guilty should be attributed to guilt, and merit should be attributed to merit.
Nan Yong breathed out slowly. He didn't think much about Wang Ai's words. At this time, he had one thought in his mind: Gao Hongbo is amazing! How did he not get mad to death? This is the first time I talked to this bastard.
I almost didn’t take the quick effect!
"Can you guarantee to score a goal in the World Cup?" Nan Yong's face returned to normal, but he still had a tigerish face. He was afraid that Wang Ai would kick his nose in the face, and his heart was beating "dong dong dong" like a drum.
I really don’t know if I can hold on if Wang Ai does this again.
"Captain, I think the goal requirement is too low." Wang Ai was still smiling, but the firmness in his tone greatly pleased Nan Yong: "Captain, not only do you want to score goals, but you also want to win! I think
, we can seriously consider the prospect of qualifying for the group stage! Isn’t this what the Football Association requires of us?”
Nan Yong shook his head and smiled: "That is to say, although I am not a football player, I have been involved in football for so many years, and my strength can always be seen. We are the weakest in the World Cup group, but we can't just say that to the media.
I have to give everyone a hope.”
After saying that, Nan Yong simply stood up and left, walked to the door, and couldn't help but turn around and said: "Xiao Wang, although I have watched your training video more than once, after all, you have only scored one goal in the national team so far.
Didn't score, can you really score in the World Cup? They usually score a lot of goals, but the result is still like this?"
"Whether I can score a goal in the World Cup, you have to let me know. It's useless if I promise now, right?" Wang Ai said with a smile.
Nan Yong let out an angry sigh.
"Captain, what you are watching is my training video from two years ago. In the past two years, I am still practicing. I promise you, I am more accurate and faster than then. Besides." Wang Ai spread his hands: "
My body can't handle being specially taken care of. I'm going to score a goal in the warm-up match, and my opponent will definitely be targeting me. So if I don't score now, there is a hidden intention."
Nan Yong carefully looked up and down at Wang Ai, who was standing up and down. Not only did he not have any thoughts of criticizing him, but he suddenly felt that this kid might really be the hope of scoring goals for the national football team. If nothing else, at least until now
, there was no negative emotions such as worry or nervousness all over his body. Even if it was foolish and bold, rather than true confidence in absolute strength, it was also a sign of excellent competitive status. Nan Yong, who was born as an athlete, knew very well that the most important thing before a competition
What is important is relaxation, not the kind of relaxation where you are laughing and joking on the surface and chattering on the inside, but really relaxing from the inside out.
"Maybe..." Standing in the corridor, looking at the sea covered with dark clouds, the hot sunshine is trying to penetrate the clouds and shine down several golden lights: "This kid is different from us from beginning to end. Maybe, he can really do it
