Section 18 The Matador of Helsinki (2)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The pleasant temperature in Helsinki is also the reason why the national juniors performed well in this game. Although it is Northern Europe, in this August, the average temperature is between 10 and 19 degrees, and the athletes' bodies feel very comfortable.

It won’t be too cold if you don’t run, and it won’t be too hot after running.

On the sidelines of the game, reporters from several domestic media continued to interview Liu Chunming.

"It's not a difference in real strength, so why is the score like this?"

"It should be the reason why we performed better." Having said this, Liu Chunming couldn't help but turn his head and look at the disciples who were thanking the Finnish fans on the sidelines of the game.

Even if Wang Ai only scored one goal, and the other goals were completed by other teammates, the players still consciously gathered around Wang Ai. Because the teammates all knew that the "boss" did not try his best. From the moment he scored the first goal

After winning the ball, the boss didn't even have much time to get the ball. In the limited few times he got the ball, he mainly played tricks on the American players.

For example, after receiving a pass, I found that there was no good opportunity, so I dribbled the ball and "bullfighted" with the American players. I didn't rush to pass it out. I just took the ball and dribbled it hard. On several occasions, I was still able to face the interceptions of three or four players.

Break out of the siege.

The American team members were a bit stubborn. The right back who was opposite Wang Ai was teased by Wang Ai many times and still made frequent moves, even though everyone could see that Wang Ai was deliberately playing tricks. His supporting role

He still acted very hard.

Unfortunately, the gap between absolute differences in personal skills cannot be bridged by hard work.

Wang Ai, who has been playing with adult teams for a long time, suddenly faced opponents of the same age and immediately became like a tiger among sheep. Even if his subsequent performance was average, as soon as he got the ball, the local fans would cheer.

Even ordinary fans can see how relaxed Wang Ai was in this game. Throughout the first half, Wang Ai almost played with his mouth open and happily played.

In the second half, the American players, who had made adjustments in the midfield, simply did not dare to attack Wang Ai when he was in possession of the ball.

"In front of Europe's golden boy, the fierce American players were like bulls under a matador. After the entire first half of futile resistance, only blood covering their bodies and confused eyes were left."

The "Helsinki News" published the next day commented on the game like this.

The domestic media's evaluation was unexpectedly not particularly enthusiastic. For example, "Sports Weekly" only put a news story of about 200 words in a small corner: "China's junior national team defeated the American junior national team", but did not

What kind of phrases like "Yang Wei Helsinki" can easily arouse national pride?

Even many small and medium-sized sports newspapers did not report on this game at all. In addition to the fact that the national junior game did not attract much attention, it was also because a big score victory was already a normal thing for this national junior team.

The biggest label of the last 1984 national youth team was "surprise". When no one was optimistic about it, they also experienced team reconstruction, a new coach, and a bad year in football. Then they won the Asian Cup with almost no one paying attention.

Junior champion. Then he reached the finals in Trinidad and Tobago without many people paying attention. By the time the Chinese people finally noticed, the 84 junior nationals had already won the title through an epic battle.

On top of the world.

86 Guo Shao started out under such a situation. Liu Chunming's pressure was comparable to Sun Houhou who was trapped under Wuzhi Mountain. Fortunately, Gao Hongbo left him Wang Ai, Gao Lin, Wang Yongpo and other "legacies" to inherit.

And as the outside world hoped, this year's national juniors have passed the Asian Junior Championships all the way.

But in terms of characteristics and temperament, the 86 National Youth League has a completely different style from the previous National Youth League. The previous National Youth League was under tremendous pressure, growing silently like wild grass and fighting tenaciously. But this National Youth League is

Born with a golden key in his mouth, he grew up under the spotlight.

What is very different from the "Amazing 84 National Youth" is the "Crazy 86 National Youth".

After defeating the Korean National Junior Team 10:0 in the Asian Junior Championship final, this label has been firmly placed on the head of the 86 Junior National Team.

Liu Chunming shook his head and pulled out his hair, but he couldn't take it off.

It is said that there was an internal meeting of the Football Association, and someone severely criticized Liu Chunming's guidance for this score. It's not that it's wrong for you to win or win by a big score, but it's too much. How can you get back after winning by five or six? You have to pull down two.

Are the digits embarrassing?

In this regard, Director Liu also has difficulties to say. Can he tell his superiors: I can't control Wang Ai? Can he tell his superiors that Xiao Wang's defeat of the South Korean team's self-confidence does he also think it has strategic value? Can he tell his superiors?

Can you tell your superiors: I am also secretly happy with this score?

Even if his superiors knew the truth, he couldn't tell it.

Therefore, the Chinese Football Association had no clue what this young national team could do after being released and fell to the ground. Therefore, Yan Shiduo did not even explain anything to Wang Ai before coming here.

"Xiao Wang, you are already the golden boy of Europe. I can't control you anymore. You can just have fun!"

In fact, what Yan Shiduo wants to say is: "This is the only time you can have fun. Now that you are old enough, the next 88 National Juniors will have nothing to do with you."

Yes, the Chinese Football Association has now begun to form the 88 National Youth League. The results of the first two sessions were too good, and the pressure of this session is too great. For this reason, the Football Association asked Gao Hongbo and Liu Chunming successively, hoping that they would continue to lead the team, but the former

He has officially taken office at Tübingen Youth. The latter is taking the 86 national youth with him, but on the other hand, his club Tianjin TEDA does not want to let him go.

Therefore, Zhang Ning, the acting head coach, is sitting on a big frying pan at the moment. Of course I hope that this national junior team can achieve good results, but I am afraid that the results will be too good and I will not be able to survive this time. For this reason

He was determined to let Wang Ai change his age and come again.

It's a pity that this can only be thought of. The birth date of the world-famous golden boy has long been exposed.

The 1988 National Youth League is a big year for Chinese football talents, so Zhang Ning, the coach, is not too worried about dominating Asia, but he has no confidence in international competitions. So Zhang Ning, who is forming a team in Beijing, learned that

After the 86-year-old boy won another big victory over the United States, he immediately applied to the leaders.

“I’m going to Helsinki to learn more!”

Therefore, when the Chinese national junior team was preparing for the final game against Spain on August 16, a group of people from the 88 national junior team also came to the training ground to observe and learn.

During the schedule, the training matches between the main and substitute lineups of China's national junior team are in full swing.

The good results in the last game also brought Chinese expats in Helsinki and even Finland out of their diving state.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Ning scratched the barbed wire fence outside the training ground and asked doubtfully.

"I don't understand!" His assistant was also confused.

I saw that on the field, there was almost no steady passing between the teams on both sides, and the offensive and defensive rhythms were frighteningly fast. The last kick from the backcourt to the frontcourt was often completed in less than half a minute.

Wang Ai and Hao Junmin led one side, and they were very involved in the game, attacking almost like crazy, as if the game was about to end.

"This is crazy!" Zhang Ning muttered to himself.
