The fifth hundred and forty-fourth chapter: the east wind blows, the war drums beat (4)
"Frankly speaking, even if we were not sick, we would have sought medical treatment." Gao Hongbo recalled the past and shook his head: "If there had been no failure in the Confederations Cup, there would not have been Xiao Wang's dissatisfaction. Without Xiao Wang's dissatisfaction,
We don’t dare to think like this. But even if we think like this, we still can’t do anything, no one can do it, we don’t know what to do, not even our technical advisor, Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho, can do nothing. We are like
He was as restless as a beast trapped in a cage, and finally begged at the door of the National Defense University."
The leaders listened quietly, and Gao Hongbo pondered for a moment: "We took classes at the National Defense University, military classes, history classes, tactics classes, especially military thought classes. But Professor Zhang and others don't understand football, and we don't understand military.
It’s very difficult to achieve results. If we didn’t both have a strong willingness to cooperate, if we didn’t have no choice but to go this way, and we don’t know what the outcome will be, if this way is a way out, we wouldn’t be able to stick to it.”
"Everyone has participated in the work with high intensity, but the main focus in this regard is the players. The coaches have to run around to collect information about opponents, analyze information, and study opponents. The players are the direct executors of the game and the specific practitioners of tactics.
So this year, everyone has been groping forward without stopping." Gao Hongbo looked at several leaders with slightly moved expressions: "But even so, this tactical system has not been fully formed until recently."
Speaking of this, Gao Hongbo looked at Li Bing: "Director Li, please continue."
Li Bing nodded: "To create a new tactical system, we need to borrow a new set of ideas from military thinking. This is a groundbreaking topic for us. I have grown up in the football system since I was a child, and my brain has become rigid.
.It’s still like Director Gao said, if Xiao Wang’er and the others hadn’t forced us to do so with dissatisfaction and annoyance, we really wouldn’t have taken the initiative to cut our brains open.”
Hearing Li Bing's "fierce" words, Wang Junsheng chuckled. He was the chairman of the Football Association at Li Bing's time and was very familiar with him.
Li Bing also felt that his words were a bit too harsh, but he felt that it would be difficult to express clearly otherwise, so he continued: "Although we know that we need to emancipate our minds, our footing, starting point, direction, and trajectory are still based on our past.
It comes from our thinking. For example, our understanding of the People's War on the football field is partly the pressing attack of coach Xu Genbao and the overall one is the total offense and total defense of Germany and the Netherlands, so our thinking..."
Seeing Li Bing's difficulty in using words, Wang Junsheng interrupted: "There is no real breakthrough!"
"Yes, yes!" Li Bing nodded repeatedly: "Xiao Fan and I studied privately and were very doubtful about going to the National Defense University to learn lessons. It was because there was no other way, so we just kept silent. Although we learned
Although he has studied military history, the methods he came up with are still circulating in our system. So I especially want to thank Professor Zhang. He is very stubborn...well, very persistent. We argued several times, but no matter how much we argued, he persisted.
My view is that I can at most adjust it slightly after learning more about football through the quarrel.”
Zhang Zhaozhong laughed again on the sidelines. He had quarreled with the national team several times.
"Professor Zhang's persistence pried open our granite heads, slowly helped us understand the football game from another perspective, and helped us gradually get rid of traditional thinking. Although we did not form new combat effectiveness for a while, at least we could
You have broken out of your own limitations." When Li Bing said this, he suddenly looked at Zhao Xuri who was standing between Ou Chuliang and Chen Yang: "Xiao Zhao'er, go on and tell me what you have been thinking about this year."
Zhao Xuri was a little confused when his name was suddenly called. It was usually not his turn to speak on this occasion. Among the team members, there was leader Wang Ai and eldest brother Sun Jihai. He usually played the role of a laughing fool, but this time...
"Then let me talk about myself." After all, Zhao Xuri was used by Wang Ai as the real captain for a year and was trained by Gao Hongbo. He was not panicked when he was suddenly called on: "I returned to Germany after the military training last year.
, The more I think about it, the more I feel old, old... Captain Wang has a point. So I just thought about it when I had nothing to do. I studied Professor You’s calculation formula and applied it to various teams in the World Cup, European Cup, and European Champions Cup in the past twenty years.
On top of that, the accuracy can reach 70%.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Xuri suddenly felt that the words were a bit big, so he added: "It is not to accurately predict the final champion, but to list the winning odds of each team. This is a bit like the odds of those European bookmakers. Anyway, what?
After all, we are now the top eight, and we are stronger than the top four."
Seeing that the leaders understood, Zhao Xuri continued: "But the month of military training last year helped me a lot, especially when Professor Zhang proposed for the first time that the captain should play in the midfield to enhance the control of the whole field.
We have reached a threshold. Theoretically speaking, an all-around player like him should stay in the midfield where the confrontation is fiercest and the core of offense and defense can best play his role. But in the past, we were given, given, given by his offensive power.
We were scared, we didn’t dare to move him, we were afraid of being laughed at. But Professor Zhang was not afraid, he said you can say I don’t understand football, but if you ask me, this is my answer. I think they are definitely not talking nonsense.
But since we professional football players have no choice, why can’t we give it a try according to other people’s ideas? Don’t worry about whether it’s right or not, anyway, I am a team member. The captain gave me ten years of national conditions lessons, and the coach also taught me
After ten years of tactical classes, I still have a little bit of tactical thinking. I followed Professor Zhang’s direction and pondered it for a long time.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Xuri rubbed his head and giggled: "Later, I gradually felt that it made sense, but I didn't think it through. The time was too short. I thought about it for a year but it was still close. It happened that the captain came back from the Champions League to express his thoughts to us,
Just one step ahead of me, I figured it out right away."
Director Wei Di looked at Wang Ai: "Tell me, what are your thoughts? What is your conclusion?"
Wang Ai smiled: "I felt from the time Robben was knocked down shortly after the start, and then stopped being sharp, and Bayern was suppressed tactically, that this is a new field, a field that can accommodate military thoughts and football thoughts.
After I came back, I talked to Director Gao and Director Li, and everyone talked about it in gibberish, and the more they talked, the clearer they became. Probably this year, everyone has been thinking and researching hard, and everyone is struggling to find the direction.
Well, this strength has been accumulated, and finally on the eve of the World Cup, with the help of this accident, I broke the shackles of my thoughts and entered a new world!"
