Shortly after defeating Sweden in the first game, and after deciding to give up the game with England, the national team's first team began special training for Paraguay. Paraguay is a frequent visitor to the World Cup and has qualified from the group four times, but this
That is the upper limit of Paraguay.
It is better than the Chinese team, but it does not have the momentum of the Chinese team's rise in recent years. From a country perspective, this landlocked agricultural country in South America has a single and fragile economic structure and is extremely vulnerable to financial crises. It is a typical developing country.
.Although it was richer than China in the early days, it has gradually been overtaken by China in 2006. Another thing is that Paraguay has not established diplomatic relations with China yet...
In other words, this country still openly sides with the Republic of China and is a supporter of the separatist forces in our country...
This gave the national team even more passion to prepare for the game. Of course, neither the frontline leader Nan Yong nor the rear leader Yan Shiduo would say anything. Sports has nothing to do with politics, just like the Iranian team met the American team. But since Wang Ai
After mentioning this issue in pre-match training, I saw that the enthusiasm of the national football team to prepare for the game became high.
Currently in the group, Paraguay has lost both games and is determined to go home. England has won the remaining two games, and Sweden and China have won one and lost one. If England loses to Sweden in the last game, the three teams will have to compete against each other.
Winning goals. China currently has 3, England currently has 2, and Sweden has -3. If China wins the last game, it will be at least 4 goal difference, which means that Sweden must not only defeat England to qualify
, they still need to defeat at least 3:0 in order to squeeze out England on goal difference and advance to the top 16.
So in general, the situation of qualifying for this group is quite clear. Since the Chinese team had a 4-goal difference against Sweden in the first game, as long as it beats Paraguay, the Chinese team will definitely qualify. Because no matter what the competition between England and Sweden, there is no guarantee that the Chinese team will qualify.
Only one team can surpass China's goal difference. Of course, if China loses to Paraguay, it still has a chance to qualify. Then China, Sweden, and Paraguay will have to compete with one win and two losses on goal difference. But even so, China
There is still a big advantage, because Paraguay's goal difference is currently -2. Suppose Sweden loses to England 0:1, the goal difference is -4, and it is certain to be eliminated. If Paraguay wants to qualify, it must defeat China 3:0.
When the above detailed analysis was displayed in Chinese newspapers and periodicals, it still caused many fans to worry. It seems...not uncommon for our national team to lose three goals to others.
But within the national team, no one has ever considered losing to Paraguay, because Paraguay's FIFA ranking is lower than that of the Chinese team, and the main players of the Chinese team have gone through ten days of preparation. Of course, it is not right to underestimate the opponent.
Yes, on June 16, the national team held a tactical discussion meeting to formulate game tactics, study opponents and implement preparation plans.
After Wang Ai, Zhao Xuri, Chen Yang, Hao Haidong and other players who participated in the first battle with England returned, at Wang Ai's suggestion, the discussion originally held within the coaching staff turned into an enlarged meeting. Wang Ai has never been
I like the method of several coaches formulating tactics independently, and the players are only responsible for the execution. This is not called tactical democracy. And from a practical point of view, the effect is often not good. Not to mention that the execution of tactics without the understanding and support of the players is easy to be compromised, and the game
Once the tactics arranged by the coach do not work, the players who have nothing in their minds will be at a loss and don't know what to do. Practice has proved that it is difficult to guess the opponent's tactical arrangements and sudden changes on the court.
Since the decision to abandon England was finally made by Wang Ai, the national team has been quiet, but all the players have felt the shift in the focus of power of the national team. For example, the number of times Wang Ai was approached by the coach to talk during training increased significantly, as shown in the picture
The training methods and training rhythm that Bingen was accustomed to became more and more intense. This feeling reached its peak until the notice of this tactical seminar was issued and all the international players were called to the large conference room.
Although no one said anything, changes were taking place.
Of course Wang Ai also felt this change, but in addition to feeling that the responsibility was heavier, he did not have time to think in detail about the subsequent impact of this change, whether it would be beneficial or detrimental. In China's sports industry, in all walks of life, such as
A player as strong as Wang Ai has never appeared before, especially in group events. In Lang Ping's women's volleyball team back then, there were a lot of strong players such as Sun Jinfang. Lang Ping was just the best among them, but he was still an ordinary player. If we must
To compare, Wang Ai is a bit like Yao Ming in today's men's basketball team, but Yao Ming is just an ordinary player with much stronger abilities, but his identity has not changed. Unlike Wang Ai, who is too strong and has a lot of trouble.
Help brothers.
Therefore, Wang Ai doesn't know whether this is good or bad, but he knows that in the game against Paraguay, the national team and he have no retreat and must win. Therefore, he also attaches great importance to this tactical discussion.
In the conference room on the roof of the Tübingen Youth Club building, there was a large projector in front of him. After everyone was in place, Gao Hongbo, who was presiding over the meeting, stood on the stage with a stern face: "Now, let's play the Paraguay team's last two games.
Everyone watches the video carefully and is allowed to discuss it in a low voice, but it is best to take notes individually. Everyone is allowed to participate in this meeting. The purpose is to work together and come up with solutions to face our common opponents. After watching the video, our coach will also
You guys discuss it together and the ultimate goal is to defeat Paraguay and qualify from the World Cup group!"
It was the first time for many international players to participate in the pre-war tactical discussion, so there was obviously a hint of excitement on their expressions. Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Lao Gao didn't say much, turned around and turned on the equipment with the remote control. As a member of the delegation, he participated
During the meeting, Constance also stood up and closed the curtains on the window. The projector was somewhat dim, and the effect was much better when the curtains were closed.
Colorful brilliance shines on the faces of the national players, and fierce and noisy voices echo in the conference room. One game takes 90 minutes, and it takes a full three hours to watch two games. Usually, I also watch the game highlights and send the sideline.
The time for the ball and red and yellow cards was cut off, but not this time. The full version was played in order to give the international players time to think when the game was slow.
They are all old football players, but they have never watched football with such seriousness and devotion. People who go to and from the toilet are running around in small steps and bending over for fear of disturbing other people's view. Dozens of them.
The small notebook also frequently jots down some typos, and even pinyin and self-created icons.
