The game against the German team on the night of June 11th was very dangerous. Wang Ai almost watched the whole game standing. But even if he couldn't bear it several times, Lao Gao still did not select Wang Ai to play, but instead used him as a substitute for this game.
Wang Yun, Guo Liang, Zhao Xuri and others were sent up.
The most dangerous thing was in the stoppage time of the first half. The score between the two sides was exactly 1:1. In just two minutes, the German team almost broke through twice. Fortunately, Feng Xiaoting was very calm and assisted Yang Cheng and barely solved the problem.
Crisis. It was still evenly matched after the second half, but around the 70th minute of the game, Wang Ai suddenly discovered that the German team seemed to be unable to continue?
This discovery was very strange, and of course it also attracted the attention of Gao Hongbo and the players on the field. After immediately increasing the offensive pressure, the German team's resistance was relatively weak, and eventually Chen Tao scored the winning goal in front of the goal.
After the game, Wang Ai was puzzled and stopped thinking about it.
But in the coaches' room, Lao Gao and Lao Liu discussed this issue.
"When they saw our lineup, we didn't have Xiao Wang in the starting lineup, so they fought very hard at first, and we could only resist. But in the second half, they lost strength. If Xiao Wang didn't play, they couldn't beat us. Relatively speaking, they couldn't beat us.
, our players are more confident." Lao Gao said, holding a cigarette in his mouth.
Old Liu Yi grinned: "How can I put it this way, he is also the biggest player in this World Youth Championship, the European Champions Cup Golden Boot, these second-rate players from Germany, it is impossible to say that there is no psychological pressure. By the way, during today's game,
He is still confused."
"Yeah." Lao Gao nodded: "Don't tell him, we'll talk about it when we get back to Beijing."
"Don't you, master and disciple, talk about everything?" Lao Liu said with a smile.
"Well, that's what I'm saying, but it's only a matter of time. Some time ago, he has been analyzing the team's tactics with us, using his brain a lot. The next games are getting more and more difficult. We have to find a way to distract him from this direction and focus on
Concentrate on the game. Don’t do anything else. When the game is over, it’s not too late for us to talk to him.”
"He can't blame you?"
Lao Gao nodded: "He still knows the rules. Otherwise, he would have done it. What would we do? Players can also serve as head coaches at certain times, but who can do this all year round? The professional division of labor determines the existence of each position.
It’s all necessary.”
Lao Liu nodded, thought for a while and said: "It seems that our tactical integration is still short of him, and we need to include him in the next training. What he meant before was that he would not be able to do it, and he could watch his teammates improve and train with peace of mind.
But in fact, what can he do if he doesn’t play? When we encounter strong opponents, he also needs to come on and receive training, especially with him here, our frontcourt attack will be more diverse, and he will be a complete team."
"Next is Brazil." Lao Gao muttered, and the two of them said nothing more. For people of their age, Brazil is a towering peak, and just mentioning its name brings a lot of pressure.
The match on June 25th attracted the attention of many domestic media. Ever since the Chinese team successfully qualified in the "Night of the Tiger", the football fever has not abated. No matter where the national team goes recently, it will attract people.
The crowd responded to the tsunami, but Wang Ai never showed up. Therefore, the enthusiasm of the fans was attracted to the World Youth Championship. Even the national team leader and current captain Zheng Zhi also stated that he would watch this game at home.
Bai Guanghai even said with a smile: "He wants to see whether the new national team captain has improved through TV."
It makes people smile.
At 17:00 in the afternoon in Tilburg, the Netherlands, the quarter-finals of the youth teams of China and Brazil took the lead. In addition to local fans and fans of the two countries, there were three other games in the stands, mainly assistants from Argentina and Spain in the other half.
The coach came to observe.
As usual, King Ai was a substitute in this game, and the starting list had already been announced. Many domestic reporters raised questions: In such a major game, with such a strong opponent, why is Wang Ai still not the starter? The captain of the national team cannot play in the youth team.
Isn't it nonsense to start? If you can't play at all, then why do you participate in activities in China?
Some fans also used their brains, for example, are Lao Gao and Xiao Wang in trouble? Is there a factional fight in the Football Association?
The outside world has been disturbing, and the pressure within the National Youth League is not small. In particular, Chen Tao, Wang Yongpo, Gao Lin, Zhu Ting and other players who were speculated by some media to have seized Wang Ai's starting opportunity because of Lao Gao were on the verge of tears.
The boss doesn’t want to get involved, so what does it have to do with us? We can stop him.
This kind of pressure has also become a kind of motivation. They all know that Wang Ai may take away their starting opportunity at any time, and the further they play, the fewer opportunities they have.
As for Lao Gao, who is at the center of the storm? Haha! How awesome is Lao Gao? Behind him is the strong support of Yan Shiduo and other Football Association leaders. He simply takes the reporters’ accusations as nothing! Even Liu Jianhong, who has always been talkative, called and said,
He responded with two words: training!
Yes, just two words. After saying that, he hung up the phone. Liu Jianhong scratched his face, searched hard, and even called Xu Genbao for advice before he compiled a similar manuscript. Not to mention, with Lao Gao and Wang Ai
They have been friends for many years, and their professionalism in football has indeed improved a lot. The reason he gave on behalf of CCTV 5 is: Wang Ai has grown too fast, and his teammates need this training opportunity even more. The battlefield of the World Youth Championship
, ranked second in grades and ranked first in military training.
The game against the Brazilian team was also very difficult. The skills of the Brazilian players were as good as ever, but the physical fitness of the Brazilian players this time was generally poor. In contrast, the 85 National Youth Team, which was formed by the 84 National Youth Team and the 86 National Youth Team, was
Driven by Ai as a child, his physical fitness is generally very good. Therefore, he played a close match with the Brazilian team, and the score increased alternately. With 15 minutes left in the game, the score reached 3:3.
In this case, Lao Gao made a move and sent Wang Ai on.
Wang Ai understood that the only purpose of his playing at this time was to score goals! Let’s put aside the training for now. If we lose this game, how can we practice next? Therefore, Wang Ai, who just came on the field, showed the momentum of the captain of the national team.
, pushed forward Renato and rushed to the Brazilian team's goal. After receiving a wonderful pass from Chen Tao, in the penalty area of Hunying Tongtong, a very concealed shot from the calf changed the score.
The score of 4:3 was maintained until the end. After the game, the Chinese and Dutch sports media unanimously called Wang Ai's performance in this game a "little test". Dutch football star Cruyff even claimed: In this game, Wang Ai only
The combat effectiveness was less than 40%. Because the physical fitness of Brazilian players is average, and Wang Ai will get more opportunities if he fights resolutely.
In this regard, Wang Ai said nothing and did not accept interviews. He wanted to do something big.
Because the opponent in the next game is Argentina. The most powerful opponent for the 85 National Youth Championship is not only the World Youth Championship, but also the Beijing Olympics three years later.
