Chapter 301 Beckham and Ronaldo?

The match between Hong Kong, China and Australia is the second match of the Asian Cup.

Before that, there were only the games between the hosts Thailand and Iraq in the opening game, and then it was the first game of Group B. The hosts Vietnam played against the United Arab Emirates. As the second game of the second match day, it was considered to be the strongest Australian team in Asia. , there are still a lot of people paying attention, but due to the huge gap in strength between Australia and Hong Kong, almost everyone thinks that the game is not suspenseful, so many people pay attention to the upcoming game, Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates.

Even fans who follow the Australian game, halfway through the game, don't think there will be any suspense in the game.

The Hong Kong team has done a good job in defense, and it's just defense. Australia only needs to score one goal to decide the outcome of the game.

Almost everyone is not optimistic about Hong Kong, China.

Therefore, those fans who were not at the scene or who did not watch the live broadcast of the game, after hearing that Hong Kong, China defeated Australia, their first reaction was that they couldn't believe it. Then they confirmed the news and turned on the TV or website as soon as possible. Find coverage of the game.

"Hong Kong, China won? What are you kidding!"

"It's not a dream! How can Hong Kong, China win against Australia! Even if Wansheng leads the team!"

"Today is not April Fool's Day!"

"It's not funny at all!"

"..."

Many people were discussing it. The first reaction was disbelief. After confirming the news, they immediately went to check the information in surprise to find out how Hong Kong scored goals, as well as the comments of various media and commentators on the game.

It turned out that it was true that Hong Kong, China really won Australia!

China Hong Kong wins Australia, it's amazing!

Few could have imagined that Australia would lose and were a little stunned by the result, after digesting the news. The first time to discuss the game with people you know.

"Did you know? Hong Kong won the game!"

"Hong Kong team? Who won?"

"Australia!"

"impossible!"

"It's true. If you don't believe me, go to the Internet and watch it. It's also being reported on TV. The live broadcast hasn't ended yet!"

"What's the score?"

"1:0, Hong Kong striker Zhuo Zhuo scored the only goal!"

"..."

in mutual discussions. The results of the game are transmitted among the fans with great speed. Even those who don't pay attention to the Asian Cup, or even football, know that Hong Kong won Australia.

————

Compared with ordinary fans, the media will always be more concerned about the game, especially this kind of unpopularity, and there is a lot of content to report.

As a small country in Southeast Asia, Singapore is also one of the economic centers of Southeast Asia. Also very concerned about the Asian Cup football match. 'New Media' mediacorp sent a photography team to interview the Asian Cup.

The leader of the "New Media" mediacorp special team is Hua Yaosheng. He has only been in mediacorp for two years, but due to his long-term sports event interviewing experience, he has become the head of mediacorp's sports interviewing department.

Hua Yaosheng brought a photography team to interview the Asian Cup. There was only one match on the first match day. The hosts, Thailand and Iraq, had nothing to say. Today, there are two matches - Hong Kong and Australia. Contest. It was at 6.30pm, another Vietnam-UAE game. It starts at half past eight in the evening.

Before the game between Hong Kong, China and Australia, Hua Yaosheng took the camera team into the Rajamangala National Stadium for an interview, and participated in the pre-match press conference. He also did some filming during the game.

However, due to the need to cover two games and the fact that Bangkok is far from Vietnam, Hua Yaosheng left with the photography team in the middle of the game, preparing to go to Vietnam’s Miyen National Sports to interview the games between Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates. .

In Hua Yaosheng's view, there is no suspense in the competition between Hong Kong, China and Australia, and it is enough to leave a photographer for the interview.

But halfway through the journey, Hua Yaosheng regretted it, because he heard a shocking news-Hong Kong, China defeated Australia!

It's kind of amazing!

Hua Yaosheng never thought that Hong Kong, China could win the game. After hearing the news, his first reaction was that it was impossible. Immediately, he realized that it was impossible for his reporters to make such a joke on him, so he immediately looked up some reports, The accuracy of the message was determined.

Then Hua Yaosheng decided to turn around almost immediately.

"Go back! Go back! Go and interview Hong Kong, China and their head coach Wan Sheng! This is the big news!"

Someone immediately asked, "What about the match between Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates?"

Hua Yaosheng stared, "What's there to report on that kind of game? Going to a photographer to take a few pictures is enough! No one in Singapore cares which team wins!"

Hua Yaosheng is very experienced, and he knows what is really big news worth reporting.

The unpopular result of Hong Kong's victory over Australia is enough to attract the attention of all fans. In contrast, Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates, no matter which team wins, who cares? Singapore fans really 'eat too much' to like Vietnam or the UAE.

The media covering the Asian Cup matches come from all over Asia and all over the world. Not every media has the ability to send several special teams to conduct comprehensive interviews on the Asian Cup. They can only 'select' to interview and report. Therefore, there are many media reporters who have encountered Hua Yaosheng's situation.

After learning that Hong Kong China won Australia, many media reporters gave up their coverage of the Vietnam-UAE game and returned to the Rajamangala National Stadium to interview the unpopular Hong Kong team.

————

Rajamangala Stadium, Thailand.

After the games in Hong Kong, China and Australia, the players returned to the locker rooms, and the head coach attended the post-match press conference.

It was obvious to notice that the press conference was much busier before the game.

There were at least dozens more reporters on the scene than before. Some of them came after the game, and almost everyone was discussing the victory of Hong Kong, China.

Australian coach Arnold was the first to enter the venue. When he walked in, the venue was suddenly much quieter. All the reporters were looking at Arnold, the loser of today's game.

No one thought Australia would lose, including Australian fans.

At the end of the game, the Australian fans who came to cheer with the team chanted "Arnold out of class", which put a lot of pressure on Arnold. lost to Hong Kong, China. It is really difficult for Australian fans to accept.

Arnold's mood was extremely low. When he walked into the venue, his first sentence was to admit that the game was disappointing.

"We didn't expect the opponent to be so tenacious," Arnold said. "Their defense is very good. We underestimated them before the game, and we made a careless mistake."

"The players are looking for some 'too hot' or 'wet or something' reason to lose, but it's all nonsense. I know there are only two reasons for losing. One is that we don't pay attention to the game, and two The performance of the opponent was unexpected!"

"I will reflect on the game with the players, this defeat may be good news, reminding us that we need to do our best against each opponent!"

After that, Arnold said nothing more.

He played very strong before the game and Australia lost the game and he knows it's pointless to say anything now.

After that, Wan Sheng appeared at the press conference.

When Wan Sheng walked into the venue. A change can be felt, when reporters interviewed him before. They were all directed at his name. The questions raised had basically nothing to do with the Hong Kong team, but now the reporters want him to say something about the Hong Kong team.

That's the big difference.

Wan Sheng is very happy with this change. With the victory over Australia, more media reporters are starting to pay attention to the Hong Kong team itself rather than him. This is good news, at least it proves that his efforts in the Hong Kong team have been recognized.

Wan Sheng showed a winner's smile on his face and said to everyone in the audience, "How is it? Did you see it? I said before that the Hong Kong team is the most promising team in Group A, and now we have become the first. !"

In the first match between Thailand and Iraq, the two teams scored one point each. That is to say, in Group A, only the Hong Kong team has three points. Thailand and Iraq are tied for second place with one point. Australia loses the game and has no points.

What Wansheng said made the Hong Kong media feel proud!

Wansheng also said the same before the game, but almost no one believed it, not even the Hong Kong media, because in the eyes of everyone, Hong Kong, China is the last in Asia, and coming to the Asian Cup finals is also a step-by-step.

Before this game, no one was optimistic that the Hong Kong team could win.

But it is different now. Hong Kong, China defeated Australia, and the Hong Kong media felt that Wansheng really did what he said. He said that Hong Kong had the best hope of qualifying, so he led the team to defeat Australia, the strongest in the group.

The media in Hong Kong were delighted.

However, the media in Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, or West Asia felt very bad. They recognized Wansheng's coaching ability in their hearts, but they couldn't stand his arrogant face in the Asian Cup.

What you brought is Hong Kong, China, not Japan, not South Korea, or the real Chinese team, a team that is one of the worst in Asia, even if you win a game "by luck", what's the point of being arrogant! ?

So these media used the performance of Hong Kong, China as a pretext to question Wan Sheng, "Hong Kong, China only showed its defensive ability in the game. Does the Hong Kong, China you lead can only defend?"

"This is naked utilitarian football! Do you want to use defense to win the Asian Cup?"

"Why didn't Hong Kong, China attack the whole court?"

"Zhuo Zhuo's goal is his personal ability and has nothing to do with Hong Kong's style of play. This is a game won by luck. What do you think of the attack?"

"Why hasn't Hong Kong, China played gorgeous offensive football?"

"..."

Question after question came out of the reporters' mouths, most of which were about the defensive 'passive' play adopted by Hong Kong, China.

Wan Sheng just sneered at this, "I also want Hong Kong to play beautiful offensive football like Manchester City. But you also said that Hong Kong is the last in Asia and the bottom in the world!"

No extra words were said, but the meaning was already obvious.

Hong Kong, China is one of the last teams in Asia. It is already a 'miracle' to win against Australia. Do you still want to play well?

Be more straightforward, you ****. Isn't this all right?

The reporters in the audience were speechless.

Can they still ask for a bottom-notch team in Asia to beat Australia with beautiful offensive football? If Hong Kong, China can really do it, then they are not the last in Asia, but the world's best team.

Many reporters still resisted, mainly because the 'smugness' on Wan Sheng's face was obvious.

Just won a game. What an amazing thing. A victory over Australia by 'luck' does not mean that we can appear in the group. There are still two games to come, and it is always 'luck' that we cannot win.

"Wait for the next Hong Kong loss, let's see what you say!" Many reporters thought to themselves.

Wansheng doesn't care so much.

In the past few years, he has experienced a lot, and he doesn't care about the hostility of several media. Instead, it proved its success.

If China Hong Kong loses the game smoothly. Media reporters don't care at all, so naturally there is no hostility to speak of, but they won.

On the way to success for a person or a team, there will always be various opponents and various hostility from bystanders.

This is inevitable.

All he has to do is kick the nasty guys out of the way and create a clear path for himself or the team, and that's the road to success.

at the end of the press conference. Wan Sheng has not forgotten Arnold.

Before the game, this guy boasted that there was no suspense in the game, and directly talked about Australia's goal of winning the championship. At a glance, you can see that you don't care about your own Hong Kong, China.

So after leaving, Wan Sheng did not forget to say the last sentence, "I have said long ago that Australia should consider the issue of qualifying for the group, and it does not make any sense for them to think too far. Now my statement has been fulfilled, if they If you lose the next game, you probably won't have a chance to qualify."

The gloating tone made Arnold grit his teeth with hatred.

After saying that, Wan Sheng got up and prepared to leave.

He had to go back to the locker room to celebrate the victory with the players, but he didn't have time to waste time with these reporters, so when a reporter wanted to ask questions again, he saw that Wan Sheng had already got up and left the venue.

————

This victory in Hong Kong, China, not only caused a storm in the media and fans, but was also crucial to the entire Hong Kong team.

Just like what Wansheng considered, most of the players in the team did not recognize the strength of the team. They all felt that the team was only the 'last in Asia'. Among the 16 teams participating in the Asian Cup, the strength of Hong Kong, China is bottom.

This idea is very dangerous.

When the team encounters a difficult game, the players think this way will make the team more passive, they are likely to give up in the middle of the game, so in the adversity game, the team will not have many chances at all.

So I went back to the locker room and celebrated the victory with the players. Wansheng reminded everyone, "I told you all, we are a strong team! Everyone did a good job, and we proved this with the game!"

"Playing with Australia, we won!"

"So you have to remember at all times, we are a strong team, we are the top team in Asia! Next, we will prove it with victories one by one, so I ask you, are you confident to do it? "

Wansheng shouted.

Everyone responded with high spirits, "Yes!"

"very good!"

Wan Sheng said, "This is the first game and the first victory. Next, we need to prepare for the second game. If we win the second game, we will be able to enter the quarterfinals. This is our goal in the near future. I hope Each of you recognizes the strength of the team. At the same time, I also hope that you will pay attention to every game. Even if we win the next game, it is not certain that we will qualify. The energy to play, no matter what team we face, we can win and win..."

————

That night, the media was flooded with coverage of the match, and discussions about the match began throughout Asia, and even the world.

Hong Kong, China is the "brother team" of the Chinese team. It can also be said that it is a team of the Chinese team. Chinese fans are very happy to see Hong Kong, China beat Australia. At the same time, they can't help but think of the results of the Chinese team.

The Chinese team is much better than Hong Kong, China. They reached the Asian Cup finals by virtue of their strength, but for Chinese football, this is not a big deal, because the Chinese team is a strong team in Asia.

But the Chinese team has never been good at creating miracles...

Victory against a strong team or something is very rare in Chinese football history, let alone a world-leading team. Even with South Korea, Japan, Iran and other teams, the Chinese team has rarely performed well in recent years.

If the Chinese team meets Australia, the result of the game is almost imaginable.

Unexpectedly, Hong Kong, China has created a miracle and won the Australian team. This makes many Chinese fans begin to care about the game in Hong Kong, China.

at the same time. Many people also thought of the rumors in April that Wan Sheng had hoped to coach the Chinese team. Unfortunately, the Chinese Football Association finally decided to let Zhu Guanghu continue to lead the team. As a result, Wan Sheng went to coach the Hong Kong team.

Wansheng and the Hong Kong team can create a miracle to defeat Australia. What if they lead China?

Many people have already begun to imagine.

It is a pity that this Asian Cup is definitely hopeless. Fans can only expect Zhu Guanghu's "Zhu Jiajun" to play a good result.

Other national media coverage of the game. It's all surprises, fans from other countries will not support Hong Kong, they are just surprised that Hong Kong can create a miracle to beat Australia.

In this game, the only bright spot in Hong Kong, China is striker Zhuo Zhuo.

In the process of scoring, Zhuo Zhuo almost completely got rid of Bresciano, showing unparalleled speed.

So many media also carried out a lot of reports on Zhuo Zhuo, but unfortunately this black striker really has nothing to hype, he is nearly 30 years old. Potential and strength are on the bright side, even with occasional outstanding performances. No club would look to such a player.

It is worth mentioning that there have also been a lot of reports about the Asian Cup in the UK. The important point is that Wansheng.

Proud British people don't care about football competitions outside Europe, because that kind of competition is too far from European competitions, but Wansheng is different. In a few years, Wansheng has become the hottest head coach in the UK, so Wansheng is temporary. There are still many British media who will report on coaching in Hong Kong, China.

The British media did not mention it before. Many media actually went to cover the Asian Cup, but when Hong Kong won Australia, it attracted widespread attention in the world football world, and the British media were also interested in making some reports.

In these reports, Wansheng is very kind, because in the eyes of British fans, Wansheng has a constant relationship with English football. "He went to the Asian Cup and led Hong Kong to create miracles!"

"Finally, those Asians can see what the world's top coaches are like. Facing the Hong Kong team led by Wan Sheng, even the Australian team with stars such as Cahill and Viduka can only face the result of failure. …”

"This is actually not unpopular. Arnold doesn't know Wansheng at all. If he is British, he will definitely know that Wansheng always does what he says!"

"He's just that good."

"As long as it is a team led by Wan Sheng, even if it is Hong Kong, China, it must pay enough attention. This is the ability of world famous coaches. Australia has paid the price for their carelessness!"

"..."

————

During these reports, Hong Kong, China, returned to normal training.

There was a three-day break before the second game against Thailand. The team could make good use of these three days for recovery and preparation. Wansheng also arranged some new training content for the team.

Some of the training content is recovery training, which is generally to return the players to normal physical condition for the next game against Thailand. At the same time, some offensive training is also added.

In the game against Australia, Wansheng realized a problem, that is, the team's offensive means are too lacking.

In addition to relying on counterattacks to score goals, the team has almost no other means of scoring goals. When attacking normally, the previous cooperation of the players is barely enough, but the players in front of the goal will appear "don't know how to play". In this regard, Wansheng has added some content to tactical training, such as high passing, short passing to the middle and direct coordination of set balls, etc. These trainings can let players know what to do in front of goal.

There is no need to think about how to do it.

In the team, the strength of the players is like this. No one can ask them to improve their abilities in some areas in a short period of time. It is unrealistic. It is enough to let them know how to do it. When it comes to the game, it depends on how the team performs. After all, those are just auxiliary means of scoring goals.

At the same time, Wansheng also gave a few players in the frontcourt, especially explained the problem of cooperation in the frontcourt.

This aspect has nothing to do with the football training master system. It is entirely based on Wansheng's coaching experience over the past few years. The cooperation methods of top teams are also very different from those of the bottom teams. In terms of cooperation near the penalty area, the methods of the top teams are better. Many, Wan Sheng explained the cooperation of some small routines. Most Hong Kong players have never been exposed to these contents at all. When they heard Wan Sheng’s explanation, they all felt that it was very novel, and they could try it in training and competition. Do.

Time is also in this kind of training, and the day slowly passed.

There was good news the next day. Both Diamares and Bergkamp came. Diamares and Bergkamp met for a vacation with their family. The two were always together, and they came together after the vacation was over. Thailand.

The fact that Wansheng led Hong Kong, China, has nothing to do with them, but as the coaching staff, they still came to Thailand to see if there was anything that could help.

The arrival of the two is really timely!

In terms of actually leading the team in training, Wansheng doesn't actually have much experience. When he was coaching Derby County, he led the team to train with Diamares. When he arrived at Manchester City, it was still Diamares. Pierce, now has Bergkamp again, and now leading Hong Kong, he can only rely on Fan Zhiyi.

Fan Zhiyi was a professional player before, and his coaching experience is very limited. Needless to say, he has the ability to lead a team in training. Compared with the 'professional' Diamares, he still has a big gap, but neither of them can help. Busy, after all, their Chinese is not good, Fan Zhiyi's English is not bad, he can just be the translator for the two to communicate with the players.

Diamares is better. After the introduction, Hong Kong players know that he is Wansheng's assistant coach at Manchester City, but he is only an assistant coach. He is not very famous.

Bergkamp is different.

"Ice Prince" has a great reputation around the world. In China, I don't know how many are his fans. Many of the Hong Kong team are Bergkamp fans. They all watched Bergkamp when they were young. Camp's game grew up.

Now, they are very excited to have Bergkamp guide the training, so every player trains earnestly, and the whole team strives to make progress. Camp came.

It wasn't just Bergkamp and Diamares who came to this day. In the afternoon, another staff member found Wansheng.

The staff member was very excited when he came to Wansheng. He couldn't speak clearly, "Wansheng...Mr. Wansheng..."

"What's wrong?"

Wan Sheng was sitting on the grass, watching the training on the field, and immediately frowned when he heard the sound.

"Someone is looking for it!"

"Who? It's working time, didn't watch the team train?"

"Yes Yes……"

"What's the matter? You speak slowly."

"Beckham! It's Beckham! I can't believe it, it's really Beckham!" The staff explained excitedly.

Wan Sheng understood, "You mean David? David Beckham?"

"Yeah! And... there's another fat man, Ronaldo, I'm sure it's him, they're outside, saying they want to see you!"

"what?"

Wan Sheng was stunned.

Beckham and Ronaldo? They came to Thailand, just outside the training ground, and said they wanted to see themselves... that's a bit too much! (To be continued ~^~)
