The score is clear, the Hercules Cup was only withdrawn by FIFA this spring, and they still have the most efficient goalkeeper, but Shen Xiangfu and Liu Lifu, who are in BJ, still sighed during the halftime break.
Is it already so easy to beat a strong team like Russia?
The score is on the one hand, the scene is more important. In the entire first half, the Russian team did not get a single threatening opportunity, while the Chinese team created at least 8 times. The lead was not only the score but also all-round. When China When the team walked off the court, Lao Shen keenly noticed from a camera on the sidelines that Wang Ai didn't even sweat much.
When he sweats a lot, it will be all over his face, and it will even flow down from the top of his head like a stream! This shows that the first half of the game may have been too easy for him.
The same feeling also appeared in the coaching staff. During the halftime review, Lao Tang just asked everyone not to be careless and did not make any more arrangements. When Lao Tang asked Lao Gao to say a few words, Lao Gao only said: "Almost Let Wang Ai come down."
Because he was about to go down, Wang Ai worked hard to find opportunities at the beginning of the second half. He unexpectedly stole one in the frontcourt, and then took advantage of the momentary chaos in the transition between offense and defense at the back of the Russian team to successfully penetrate into the goal and knock down the goalkeeper with a fake move. Then he succeeded with an easy push shot.
Different from the explosive stadium, Lao Gaoyi, who was hugging his shoulders on the sidelines, frowned and whispered a few words to Lao Tang. Lao Tang understood, and after a while, the substitution card was raised high, Wang Ai came down, and Yu Dabao came up.
Wang Ai was a little surprised. According to his habit, he should have played for another ten minutes. But it didn't matter. He walked to the sidelines and looked at the nervous Yu Dabao and laughed: "I'm afraid, go ahead!"
Yu Dabao has actually only played five games on behalf of the national team, and they were all warm-up matches. Hearing Wang Ai's informal encouragement, he reluctantly smiled and ran onto the field. Wang Ai turned around and glanced at the kid's back, then raised his hands and rushed forward with a smile. He waved to the fans shouting his name in the stands before walking to the sidelines.
"Exercising so early?" Wang Ai unscrewed a bottle of water and stood in front of Old Tang, blocking Old Tang's sight: "Is it appropriate for this occasion?"
Old Tang rolled his eyes and pulled Wang Ai: "It's a competition!"
Lao Gaoxu, who had his legs crossed at the side, kicked Wang Ai: "Go away!"
Wang Ai walked up to the two of them with a smile. He did not sit on the bench, but leaned on the back of the high seat, his posture was extremely relaxed.
"The goal you scored just now is very beautiful, but it has no tactical significance, understand?" Lao Gao looked ahead and muttered.
"I'm not thinking about it, but I'll get one if I get a chance."
"Well, that's why I asked you to come down early."
"What about punishing me?"
"It doesn't matter. If you are so far ahead, you can train others early." Lao Gao glanced at Wang Ai: "It's not just the newcomers."
Wang Airuo realized something: "You haven't adapted to it in the past year?"
"Just force it." Lao Gao shook his head: "It hasn't been tested in the competition."
Wang Ai shook his head and thought, thinking that he wanted to talk to Lao Gao, but there was no place to sit nearby, so he naturally squatted down next to Lao Gao. Although Lao Gao felt a little surprised, it was not much. I think, because for so many years, the national team coaching staff has been like a revolving door of assistant coaches, his most stable tactical adviser is actually Wang Ai. The master and apprentice have long been used to discussing team tactics. Anyway, now the score is leading, and the old man Tang is in charge of the command, and the two of them happened to be talking about this, so let's continue talking.
"Your legs are too thick. People are used to hugging you and are reluctant to let go, but you will always get injured. Everyone can play well without you, and you can be safer, especially in this kind of competition. Let's
You come down to expose the problem and let everyone calm down. But it’s not good for you to endure it all the time, so come down early and take a look at everyone, and you take a look too.”
Wang Ai nodded and continued to squat and drink water. He occasionally chatted with Lao Gao. He didn't notice that fans from all over the world were crazy with curiosity: What on earth are you talking to your coach? Why are you still squatting and talking?
?
After a while, Wu Lei replaced Dong Fangzhuo again. Lao Gao held on to a spot until the game's stoppage time and asked Zhu Ting to replace Zhou Haibin.
This World Cup has brought three newcomers, one starter and two substitutes, which is interesting enough.
After Wang Ai left the field, the Russian team cheered up for a while. Unfortunately, the Chinese team defended very tightly and failed many times. As the game time became less and less, the performance became more and more sluggish. Of course, the Chinese team also failed to do so.
To further increase the score, everyone played very seriously, and the two newcomers even more seriously sought to score goals. The support from teammates was not lacking, but it was always a little bit behind.
Seeing the last minute of stoppage time, Wang Ai stood up and moved around: "You can't do it without me."
Lao Gao rolled his eyes: "Well, I don't have enough confidence anymore."
"What should we do?"
Lao Gao simply ignored Wang Ai, which made Wang Ai want to laugh but was embarrassed. All those years of hard work were in vain? It’s not that easy to let go after you’re used to hugging him.
The game was finally over, and the stadium was full of jubilation. The Russian fans left the field sadly, but the Chinese fans were so happy that they couldn't leave. Wang Ai could only walk back to the stadium and thank everyone again before disappearing from everyone's reluctant eyes.
In the player tunnel.
After another half an hour, the bus carrying the Chinese team left the stadium. It will rush to Porto Alegre, the city for the second game tomorrow, and will stay at the country villa in Cuiaba tonight. The delegation has already
Everything is ready and we are waiting for everyone to go back and hold a barbecue party.
"I thought you were the loser, but looking like that, you are not impressive at all!"
At the lively barbecue party, dozens of players and their families gathered on the grass in the middle of the yard. Lao Gao was sitting next to a flower stand on the outside, with a tray in front of him and several large pieces of Brazilian barbecue.
, holding a bottle of beer in his hand, sometimes looking at the starry night sky of South America, sometimes glancing at the lively crowd, unaware of the noise of the chief disciple next to him.
Wang Ai was holding a tray with many prawns in one hand and holding a bottle of mineral water in the other and was still chattering: "I would say that your generation is a generation that worships foreigners and favors foreigners. How come you are half shorter when you see foreigners? Look at it.
You saw Capello like that at the post-match press conference? Why did you reach out first and then bend down? Shouldn't he be doing this to you?"
"A winner must have the demeanor of a winner." Lao Gao calmly took a sip of wine.
"Demeanor?" Wang Ai looked at Lao Gao suspiciously, thought for a while and shook his head: "No, you are smiling so hard that you can't even see your eyes. This is not a matter of demeanor, you are just half as short as others, you are..."
"
"He is my idol!" Lao Gao interrupted Wang Ai.
"Idol? He is a defender and you are a midfielder. How can he be your idol? You just see people..."
"He is twenty years older than me, and his qualifications are much higher than mine. I respect my elders, right? Do you think I am like you, neither older nor younger?" Lao Gao yelled.
