 "Boss, Spain only averaged one per game in the first few games."

At the preparatory meeting before the final, Zhao Xuri raised this question on behalf of everyone. Wang Ai solemnly asked the defensive players to pay attention to Torres. The players all expressed their confusion. They are all professional players. Of course they know about Torres. Many people

I have also watched his game. He is very good, but he is not going to ask Wang Ai to specifically mention it, right? Wang Ai has long said that he does not know how to defend, so let the defensive players take responsibility for themselves.

Sitting around the round table in the hotel's large conference room were Mai Chao's coaching staff, the National Youth Team members, and Vice Chairman Zhang Jilong, who came specially to help out.

"On technical matters, you listen to the coach's instructions. But I am in La Liga, and I will tell you about this person's characteristics from the perspective of a La Liga player." Wang Ai said calmly: "Speaking of which, everyone here also

They are all the main players of domestic A-level clubs, and they are all professional players, so let me ask, which of you is the captain of A-A?"

All the teammates looked at each other. In China, they were still substitutes. Last year, only the four money-worshiping players were promoted to Class A. Although after winning the Asian Youth Championship, three more players were promoted to the first team, but there was still no guarantee.

The best playing time is between the main player and the substitute, long before the captain.

"Torres is the 19-year-old captain of Atletico Madrid, which shows that technically he has conquered the older players in the team and is definitely the best among his age group. I don't need to tell you about the gap between La Liga and A.

We all understand. Don’t look at the fact that he scored two goals in the first few games. All the football powers in the group stage didn’t pay much attention to it, but in the finals, they will definitely devote themselves to it.” When Wang Ai said this, he turned to look at Zhang Jilong and said:

"Our country attaches great importance to players' level of investment in games, so we always hold various meetings to encourage people. But in fact, you and I both know that players' level of investment in different games is completely different. Some games run from beginning to end.

, but in fact it is not exciting, and the input level is only about 60%. Some games are very exciting, and the input level may reach 100%, or even exceed the level."

Zhang Jilong said nothing and nodded.

Speaking of which, many fans have not noticed this problem. They have the impression that in every game of the national team, all the players are 100% committed. National honor! Competition! In fact, this is not the case at all. Our football level

Low, long-term non-professional experience has left such an impression on many coaches: as long as the players run hard on the court, they are committed. If they don’t run and walk, it is a sign of lack of fighting spirit. That’s why we always conduct physical tests, in addition to calling South Korea

In addition to the factors of dissatisfaction, it is also our unclear understanding of the laws of football.

What is state? Basically, it is the level of physical and mental investment in the game. If the investment is high, the performance will be good, and the state will be good, and vice versa. There are many factors that affect investment, including physical discomfort, psychological discomfort, etc.

"Torres has been able to gain a foothold in La Liga because he has been tested by world-class and even top defenders in other La Liga teams. Everyone, I don't understand defense, but how does your defensive level compare with La Liga defensive players?" Wang Aiyouyou's

asked.

Zhao Xuri licked his face: "Boss, it's hard to say this. Hehe, you haven't compared it, right?"

Wang Ai squinted and smiled: "Anyway, you know it in your heart. The level will not improve immediately, so I will work hard to score goals and assists in the frontcourt in this game, and you must also give full play to your strength. I

I don’t expect you to keep a clean sheet in this game, oh, not just this one, but also in all the games after entering the World Youth Championship. This will only be considered after you go to play abroad and undergo training. I just hope you can

Let less people score a few goals, leaving a chance for me and the attacking players to win."

Zhao Xuri and other defensive players had ugly faces, but they couldn't say anything. In fact, they all knew that Wang Ai was the main contributor to the Chinese team's success. Without him, the defense would not be strengthened, but the offensive power would be weak.

, then the opponent can continue to increase their offensive. The Chinese team can always win by a large score because the strength gap between the offensive lineup led by Wang Ai and the opponent's defensive lineup is greater than the strength of the opponent's offensive lineup and the Chinese team's defensive lineup

gap.

In other words, every match played by the Chinese team is actually a process of hurting each other with their opponents! A process of comparing attack power.

"Then boss, should we..."

"No!" Wang Ai didn't wait for his teammates to finish his sentence before shaking his head: "We can make bigger moves to scare the opponent, make the physical confrontation more intense, and increase the wear on the opponent, but we can't really change the purpose. Now we are not playing football for ourselves.

, it is not playing wild football, nor is it a life-and-death war. We are playing football on behalf of the country. Every move we make represents the image of the country, at least the national sports image. If it doesn't work, we can lose the game, and people will only say that we are not strong enough.

But it can’t be dirty, it will embarrass the country and discredit the country. Even winning a championship cannot buy back the loss of the country’s overall image.”

Speaking of this, Wang Ai felt that he should make it clearer and added: "You all know that I stayed in Tübingen for three years. The reason why so many Chinese people can gain a foothold in Germany is that they can live in the conservative and xenophobic southern Germany.

The reason is that we have been taking action to maintain the country's image. In the eyes of local fans, we are China, and China is us. We actively participate in fan activities, charity activities, and we actively participate in municipal construction. Our team members have never had any scandals or scandals.

Even the red and yellow cards on the field are the fewest in the German second division. Because we care about the country's image, the 'China' label on us will change the German people's understanding of China, and then feed back to us. In short, for those of us who represent the country

For the team members who play, the country is us, and we are the country. To maintain the image of the country is to maintain our image, and to love the country is to love ourselves. In the final analysis, the more positive the country's image is, the less resistance you will have to playing abroad in the future."

Zhang Jilong, who had been listening in, did not speak, but he cast an appreciative look. As a senior leader of the Football Association, he has transcended the entanglement of winning or losing a single game. He has been working in the AFC all year round and has great influence on the national image and the team.

We have a clearer understanding of the relationship between strength. If the Chinese team always plays tricks in international competitions, not to mention that it will not be able to carry out its work in the AFC, even if it wants to play a role, it will not be able to do anything.

The Chinese Football Association does not lack vision, but lacks ability. In the past, they also tried to set up a Chinese team in foreign leagues, such as the Singapore Xinlin team, but unfortunately it was not successful and ended hastily. Tubingen youth, for China

The Football Association is definitely an unexpected surprise. It has obtained a free training base for the five major leagues for Chinese football. There are too many experiences and lessons to be summarized. After Xu Genbao returned to China, he has been invited by the Football Association to Beijing for several meetings to summarize.

The problem of Chinese football going global.

Today, Wang Ai's narration, although it is only a side topic and only a side factor of the success of Tübingen youth, is enough to cause these young players to think deeply and help them open a new door.
