Due to the good performance of the Chinese team in the World Cup, the Chinese people have also placed more hopes on the prospects of the National Olympics, which has high hopes. Although Wang Ai wrote to the Football Association soon after the World Cup, which played a role in pouring cold water. However, in society and in the media, there are endless voices calling for the "Super Platinum Generation" to achieve better results.
The only good thing is that Lao Shen is under the control of the Football Association and not the media. The Chinese football community has never had a good relationship with the media, so the atmosphere within the Olympic team is relatively relaxed. Even the delegation to this Asian Games Team leader Yuan Weimin told Shen Xiangfu: Don't be anxious, results are important, and training the team is equally important.
Therefore, Lao Shen did not have any extra pressure to put pressure on the players. The National Olympics still gathered the desire to win out of the desire for good results. This kind of pure willpower is relatively healthy, so Wang, who has been watching with a cold eye, Ai didn't ask Lao Shen to make any request.
Before the game, Dr. Schubert, who had won the trust of Lao Shen and the entire team, carefully checked the physical condition of the players for the last time. In addition to still issuing some warnings to Wang Ai, he "approved" Shen Xiangfu's deployment. Array.
Old Shen breathed a sigh of relief. Not only Yan Shiduo knew about Schubert, but also Yuan Weimin, who even paid close attention to the effectiveness of the external team doctor. Otherwise, how could a young German man be qualified to point fingers at the Chinese Olympics?
At 18:00 on October 8th, at the Mashan Comprehensive Stadium, the China-Japan quarterfinals are about to begin.
Wang Ai, who was sitting on the bench, looked calm and sat with Zhao Xuri, who was also a substitute, waiting for the game to start.
A few minutes later, the men's football quarterfinals of the Busan Asian Games began.
Also taking place at the same time as this game are the battles between Iran and Kuwait in Yangsan, the battle between South Korea and Bahrain in Ulsan, and the battle between Thailand and North Korea in Busan.
"Oh, our offensive is very fierce." Zhao Xuri admired.
Zhao Xuri was selected for the National Olympics at just 17 years old. Zhao Xuri is also a leader among the younger generation of players, and he is also a national youth player. Of course, there is nothing he can do about it because he is young, and Wang Ai is a substitute, so he has no emotions.
"Hey boss, how many do you think we can win in this game?"
Seeing that Wang Ai remained silent, Zhao Xuri bumped Wang Ai's shoulder.
"Who knows." Wang Ai said coldly: "We must have an overall advantage in body, speed, strength, and technology. But it's hard to say in terms of brains."
"What?"
"Brain!" Wang Ai pointed to his temple: "Our team has been in the youth team for several years now, and our tactics are very mature, so we basically know how to play without any supervision from the coaching staff. But in this way Come on, our tactics are clear to others. There are few changes, and opponents can make targeted arrangements. Although the Japanese team's IQ is not very high, they have a very cunning head coach."
Zhao Xuri went to the Japanese team and took a look: "Zico?"
"Nonsense, who else could it be?" Wang Ai rolled his eyes and said: "Don't look at his hairy head, this guy is a ghost. Back then, there was a man nicknamed 'Bai Bailey', who had a big position on the field. He can play in all positions in the frontcourt, and is especially good at seizing opportunities near the goal area. In short, he is a person with a high football intelligence. When he was a coach, he inevitably instilled this into Japanese players. The Japanese people's obedience to discipline characteristics determines They often lack a commander with a bright mind and a big-picture perspective. Once they have such a person, their rigid system will be mobilized."
"I don't know what to say to you." Zhao Xuri muttered.
"That's right! Do you think Japan is one of our opponents in the group stage? In order to develop football, they even naturalize players. Although the effect is not very good, the determination is strong enough."
"I can't do it without you."
"I have to calculate it differently."
Zhao Xuri curled his lips, but surprisingly did not refute. He had never won an argument with his boss, but he was keen on making noises.
"Look!" Wang Ai pointed to the court: "Look at this time, look at Sun Xiang's pass from behind. The timing of the kick, the speed of the pass, and the angle were all very good, but it was intercepted.
Have you noticed?"
Zhao Xuri squinted his eyes and looked at the field, thinking quickly in his mind: "Yeah, I also noticed that the captain's pass just now seemed to be like this."
"Yes." Wang Ai sighed: "It's really obvious. Our team members are in good health, so if the Japanese team fights against us and runs against us, we can kill them and make them diarrhea, but if they don't run away, we can rely on them."
Tactical coordination and positioning limit our two magic weapons: side breakthroughs and direct passes from behind. Now it depends on whether we can rush through or they can stop us."
"Is it dangerous to stop us?"
"No. I just told you that Zico is so weird. When he was playing football, he was very good at seizing opportunities in the small penalty area. He has led the Japanese Olympic Games for more than two years. He must have also trained or can find someone with similar skills to him.
players. So even though our defense is very good, the danger is still quite big."
The discussion between the two did not stop the people around them. Wang Ai has always been like this. Zhao Xuri also spoke boldly under the leadership of his boss. Since Wang Ai arrived, the atmosphere within the National Olympics has become distorted. In addition to resolutely executing tactics on the court
Apart from the arrangement, there was a lot of freedom and democracy off the court. It wasn't that Lao Shen didn't want to rectify it, but if Wang Ai couldn't be rectified, the effect would definitely not be good. Later, I found that there was nothing wrong with it, so I simply let it go.
The discussion between the two attracted the attention of assistant coach Tang Pengju, who specifically moved to Wang Ai's side: "Xiao Wang, do you think this game is difficult?"
"Anyway, if I don't go, it's hard to say. Let's give it a 50-50 shot."
"Looking at this situation, we are in the lead across the board."
"Yes, this is because our players' physical fitness and tactical play are very mature, but if the opponent can resist it and then sneaks another attack, they will lose. One is our lack of changes, and the other is our players' ability to seize opportunities.
My ability is not good, and thirdly, I am a little anxious."
Tang Pengju said nothing, holding his chin and thinking.
The situation on the field was indeed as described by Tang Pengju. The Chinese team had an overall advantage and dominated the Japanese team throughout the first half. It was not that the Japanese team meant this, it was really impossible to win. In the competition between players in various positions,
They were slowly forced back. The Chinese team also shot as many as 10 times.
It's a pity that none of them scored. Of course, the Japanese team had no chance. They could barely stand still under the stormy attack of the Chinese team.
At the same time, Wang Ai also discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, people on the bench of the Japanese team frequently looked at him secretly. Whenever he turned around to look for eyes, he could not see them. He could only see a group of people on the bench of the Japanese team.
The players were sitting at attention. After a closer look, there was not a single Japanese player that they met in the Asian youth finals two years ago, such as Keisuke Honda, who is still in the Japanese national youth team.
