After the game, Wang Ai, Ozil, Mertesacker and others chatted for half a night before parting ways. This time they parted and they didn’t know how long it would take to see them again. The German team lost, and the amateur players were unwilling to do so.
They had no choice but to accept it, while the stars relaxedly prepared to pack up and return home.
The Chinese team is very happy here. Most people don’t know the reality of the German youth team, but they have defeated the representative team of the football powerhouse, right? The top eight, right? Thanks to Wang Ai who watched the whole process again, he led the game
When I called Mai Chao to praise him, his attitude was much more sincere.
But Mai Chao was very calm. He knew that the key to victory in this game was off-field factors. The Chinese team and the German team played a tactic of cheating. He sent a Xiao Wang on his side and wiped out five professional players of the opponent. The remaining
They are all amateur players, but here are a handful of professional players.
Winning without force! Mai Chao is still a little ashamed. It's a pity that you can't confess this to the leader. The leader actually doesn't care how you win, as long as you win.
Now that Mai Chao has basically determined his whereabouts, he will no longer return to the Guangdong Football Association to wait for arrangements after the game. Instead, he will choose Wang Ai's proposal, but he is first planning to spend a few months inspecting both Tübingen and Deportivo La Coruna.
Go in a circle and then decide where to go.
Wang Ai knew in his heart that this was Lao Mai’s dream after having been a first-team coach for decades. Wang Ai also planned to see how long Lao Mai could persist in this aspect. Going to Tübingen would probably require some personnel changes.
To adjust, he has to go through the language barrier to go to Deportivo. But as long as he can establish himself in the coaching staff of these two clubs, he will basically have enough qualifications to lead a professional team when he returns to China. If he can't lead A, he can't lead A, but he can't lead A B.
.
The five major leagues have strong football, so everything is popular.
After the match with the German team, the next opponent of the Chinese team came out, the Canadian team.
This is a very favorable grouping. Canada is ranked third in the group and has only won one game, defeating Burkina Faso in the knockout round. The style of play is similar to that of the United States, relying on physical fitness, but the technique is rough and the tactical awareness is not strong.
Four days later, on the same court, the China-Canada match was held, and Wang Ai did not play as usual.
His body has almost recovered. Although there is still some inconvenience, it no longer affects the game. He just wants to see how far these teammates can go without him playing. It has been a year since he intervened in this national youth team.
If it was more, it would still be considered a lot of hard work, helping them fight for welfare benefits, training conditions, taking tactical classes, improving technical and tactical play, etc. He and Mai Chao had a clear division of labor, Mai Chao was in charge of the internal affairs, and Wang Ai focused on the external world.
Wang Ai wants to see how much effect his variable arrival can have on this team. In last year's Asian Games, Wang Ai also did not participate in a game, but Lao Shen's 81 National Olympics won the title of Chinese football
The first gold medal in the Asian Games gave Wang Ai a great encouragement.
Although this kind of encouragement is not clear to others and they cannot feel the excitement of Wang Ai. However, Wang Ai can be very happy with the gradual implementation of his goals.
If this national youth team can make it to the end, Wang Ai would rather not play a game. Anyway, he will return to La Liga and will have to participate in Ali Hann's Asian Cup and Shen Xiangfu's Athens Olympics in the next year. There is no shortage of opportunities for competitions.
Although Wang Ai was recruited, the rules of commercial football still apply to him. Strictly speaking, he and these teammates are no longer the same in the football circle.
There were some twists and turns in the China-Canada war. Maybe it was because we were complacent after defeating the "powerful" German team in the last game. Therefore, the tactical discipline in the first half of the game was very poor and the team was also very disorganized. It improved the confidence of the frontcourt. Wang Yun, a little unaware of his own tactical role, frequently made hurried kicks in the frontcourt, but in the end, the Canadian team succeeded in a sneak attack in stoppage time.
During the halftime break, both Mai Chao and Wang Ai had serious expressions. After Mai Chao reiterated the discipline, Wang Ai said to his brothers: "15 minutes. If you can't reverse the game within 15 minutes of the second half, then I will You have to go on stage. You must understand that the next competition will become more and more intense, and the opponents will become stronger and stronger. I won’t be able to get back down if I go up. This is a rare training opportunity for you."
The two heads, who were always laughing and joking, changed their faces at the same time. The teammates immediately woke up. This is a knockout match. If you lose, you will go home!
As a result, back in the second half, the Chinese National Youth Team's offensive was like a storm. Wang Yun was like a ball in the frontcourt, organized in an orderly manner. In the third minute, Zhou Yi succeeded in a long shot, and then in the 15th minute, captain Yang Hao took a shot from the side. succeed.
However, Wang Ai, who frequently looked at his watch, stood up and did not sit down. He always stood next to Mai Chao, ready to come on the court at any time. The team members suppressed them and did not dare to relax at all. The Canadian team later could not even get past the midfield. In the end, in When the game was about to end, substitute forward Zhang Shuo cleverly succeeded in making a supplementary shot after Han Peng's header was blocked by the goalkeeper.
At this time, the team members dared to turn around and look at the expressions of the two bosses. Thinking in their hearts that this game was enjoyable? Everyone was highly engaged and concentrated, and the result of the game was beyond doubt. They really played this game. The highest level of the team.
As a result, when we returned to the hotel to summarize the game, Coach Mai still criticized two things. One was the looseness of the first half, which lacked the competitive spirit of a professional player. The other was the impatience in the second half hour, the lack of methods in the frontcourt, and the forced rush. He fought hard and suffered too much loss. He also specifically named Wang Yun, asking him to keep a cool head no matter where and when, and to boldly use unconventional techniques to seek a breakthrough.
Mai Chao's scolding calmed down the National Youth Team, which was once again in a state of triumph. The better the results, the greater the authority of the head coach. Results are qualifications and the confidence to speak. Moreover, Mai Chao requires them to be calm-minded. He has the absolute right to speak. The team members didn't know it before, but Wang Ai told them that Coach Mai has one skill that is best in Chinese football: he never misses a penalty kick.
Besides, there is a big devil who scored five goals in a single game who didn't say a word. He really can't stand up in front of Wang Ai.
After regaining their composure, the National Youth Team faced their semi-final opponent, Brazil, a few days later.
The Brazilian team eliminated the Japanese team 5:1 a few days ago and is in good shape. Facing the Brazilians, no one is confident, and the Chinese team is even less confident, and Wang Ai is also ready to appear.
Although his condition is not the best, he can still cope with a game.
With the National Youth League's unprecedented record of reaching the semi-finals in the United Arab Emirates, and the news of Wang Ai's return from injury spreading back to China, this game has begun to attract the attention of many people, including football professionals.
