Chapter 155: Idealism

In the memory of the last life, the 2006 World Cup final in Germany was also played between the French team and the Italian team. Because of this, Wansheng said that he was optimistic about France and Italy.

However, Wansheng didn't have much impression of that game. He only knew that Italy won the game in the end, and in the middle of it, there was an incident of Zidane's overhead man. Or rely on a penalty shootout to win, Wansheng doesn't know at all.

But now he's a professional football coach and has his own opinion on both teams.

Lippi came to ask him, and naturally he had to consider how to deal with France from the perspective of Italy.

France is a strong team, no doubt about it.

Before the end of the last century, super-class players such as Fontaine, Platini, and Papin emerged in France. Although they won the European Championship in 1986, French football is still not at the top level in the world. This status quo did not come to an end until the 1998 World Cup in France: Zidane and Djorkaf were unstoppable when they were playing, and veterans such as Deschamps, Desailly, and Blanco stabilized their military hearts. Henry and Trezeguet also gradually emerged. It is by virtue of the outstanding performance of this capable general that the French team won the historic World Cup championship and succeeded again in the European Championships two years later.

However, with the withdrawal of many veterans from the national team, the strength of the French team plummeted. The 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan was eliminated in the group stage. , Makelele, Thuram three veterans came back, Tanmen successfully helped the Gallic Rooster to directly qualify for the World Cup in Germany as the first in the group.

From Fontaine to Henry, from Platini to Zidane, French football has no shortage of souls in the midfield and frontcourt, and its short passing penetration has also caused a headache to the powers.

As long as the French can take the game seriously enough. No team in the world can beat it so easily.

It can be seen from the development process of the French team that the core of France is still Zidane, and the main core players are still the veterans. They are all close to the age of retirement, but they still shine in the World Cup.

Especially Zidane!

The world superstar has announced that he will retire after the World Cup. But his performance in this World Cup is really good. Even without this final, he is likely to be the best player in the World Cup.

Therefore, if you want to beat the French team, it is necessary to do everything possible to keep Zidane's point.

In addition, it is worth noting that the French team's infiltration style of play, relying only on Italy's defensive strategy, it is not easy to defend the goal. Especially in the face of the occasional genius play in the midfield and the flanks of the French team. Italy's defense is still a problem.

"The left and middle are the most important things to pay attention to." Wan Sheng said seriously to Lippi, "I know Frank, he is very talented, especially his speed and dribbling. Now his passing has also improved a lot, if he can't Guard him, it's going to be very dangerous in front of goal. His long balls are accurate."

"Don't expect to completely guard him, but someone must follow him all the time. Don't let him break through easily and compress his space."

Wan Sheng gave Lippi pointers on how to defend Ribery. In addition, he talked about Zidane again, "And Zidane, it is not an exaggeration to limit his performance with two defensive players! Without Zidane, the French team will be another team. "

Then Wan Sheng put forward a suggestion for preparations, "It is very important to train more on penalty kicks. In preparation for the game, we must focus on penalty kicks. We must be prepared to play penalty kicks with the French team."

Wan Sheng and Lippi talked for more than an hour, and he put forward his opinions and views on the French team and preparations in detail.

The conversation between the two was very pleasant.

After that, the two also had some exchanges in preparation for the competition. As a very successful coach, Lippi is still very experienced in this regard. Many of his words have reminded Wansheng, especially about the Champions League and the league. On the issue of winning the two-line battle, some of Lippi's pointers gave Wansheng a sense of relief.

After putting down the phone, Wan Sheng suddenly felt that he should make more friends like Lippi, because their advice was really helpful to him.

Even if he has a football training master system, he is very successful in leading the team, but after all, he still has too little experience, especially Manchester City will participate in the Champions League next season. This is the first time he has led the team. League, UEFA Champions League and domestic cup competitions, it is impossible for the team to deal with every game with a 100% attitude. At this time, the coaching experience will play a role.

An experienced coach can clearly know what to do, and he...maybe not doing it well, which is likely to lead to a series of problems. After all, there are so many players in the team and his energy is limited. It is impossible to do all the work well.

After a few pointers from Lippi, Wansheng had a general direction. He decided that after the World Cup, he must have a meal with Lippi, get to know him well, and learn from the old coach by the way.

No matter how successful he is, he is still a rookie in the football coaching industry after all!

Confucius once said that when three people walk together, one of them must be a teacher. That is to say, one of them must be stronger than himself in some aspects, and he can learn from him. On Wansheng, he only teaches. After a few seasons, he has just embarked on the road of football coaching. The road is still very long. He also needs the guidance of others, absorbs the successful experience of others, and listens to other people's coaching methods and methods. These will be very useful to him in the future. helpful.

...

The next day, Wan Sheng and Anita went shopping together and continued to enjoy their vacation.

But in front of the hotel, the two were stopped by several reporters.

Wan Sheng did not walk away directly, but looked at several reporters with a smile. He was in a good mood and was happy to be interviewed by reporters.

A reporter immediately asked about the paper published in the "New England Journal of Medicine". Under the expectations of many reporters, Wan Sheng said with certainty, "That is my research. I graduated from sports science and have been working on it. The research on sports recovery, those are some of my recent research results, and I think the results should be shared with the world, which may be helpful to some people who are doing the same research."

Wan Sheng's remarks were quite atmospheric, and several reporters applauded.

Later, a reporter asked if Wan Sheng's doing scientific research while coaching the team would affect the team's performance, Wan Sheng shook his head and said, "A lot of my research is related to the team, I will let the players Do normal training, and then record some specific data by the way." He joked, "I think my players are willing to contribute to scientific research while training..."

Many reporters laughed.

In fact, this does involve the rights and interests of some players, but even European laws have not made it clear to the extent that public data cannot be used. Players may use legal weapons to protect their own interests and prevent Wansheng from using them. However, obviously no player is stupid enough to do this, which in itself does no harm to them, and they won't get anything by doing that. Instead, they will offend Wansheng and the club as head coaches, which is definitely not worth the loss.

Next, another reporter mentioned the World Cup final and wanted Wansheng to predict the winner of the championship.

This question is quite critical, especially in the first two days of the decisive battle, many people are paying attention to Wansheng's 'prediction', and the German "Kicker" even opened a special column to publish Wansheng's latest prediction, and about this What they say, their record will be word for word.

Wan Sheng was already prepared, he only smiled, "Marcello (Lippi) called me yesterday, we discussed some coaching experience together, and then he mentioned the final."

"I told him some of my opinions, such as the preparation, the way of playing with the French team, etc. Marcello is a respectable senior and I am very happy to discuss this with him."

"So now you ask me, which team is optimistic about, and my answer is of course Italy. I hope Marcello can lead the team to win the championship."

"reason?"

"I have a better personal relationship with Marcello. Domenech? Sorry, I don't know him!"

Wan Sheng's words made the media reporters roll their eyes. They were very happy when they heard that Wan Sheng said that he was optimistic about Italy, because it means that there is a result, but are they willing to have a good relationship with Lippi?

What is the logic!

You have a good relationship with Lippi, so Italy can win. If the relationship with Domenech is not good, France has to lose?

The earth doesn't revolve around you...

Soon Wansheng's idealist rhetoric spread throughout Germany, England, Europe, and even the world. Many fans knew the news, and naturally the comments were varied.

Some people support Wansheng and think his statement is reasonable.

Just like German fans will definitely support Germany, French fans will definitely support France. Wansheng and Lippi have a good relationship, and of course they want Italy to win the championship.

If there is support, there will be opposition. They believe that Wan Sheng should not show this attitude publicly. It is better for him to say nothing than to say the real reason. Then his words will be regarded as a 'prediction', but now, is it still a prediction?

Nobody knows.

The Internet, newspapers, TV, and various media have reported this news, and the comments are varied.

It even affected the morale of both teams.

Wansheng's predictions and 'mouth escape' have a great impact, because since the 2004 European Cup, his predictions have not made mistakes, so no matter what the reason is for him to be optimistic about the Italian team, it is undeniable that the Italian team will. So full of fighting spirit.

On the other hand, the French team was told to lose by a person whose 'prediction' never made a mistake. Even though the head coach Domenech repeatedly emphasized 'don't pay attention to that grandstanding Chinese', he couldn't control what the players thought.

This will certainly take a toll on the morale of the French team.

So it's no surprise that "Italy took the lead in the pre-match public opinion war". (To be continued ~^~)
