Chapter 304 The Biggest Enemy of the Thai People!
"We have to overwhelm our opponents with momentum!"
Wan Sheng looked at everyone seriously and said seriously, "Football is not only about tactics, ability, but also momentum and fighting spirit!"
"I believe that any of you have fighting spirit. You all hope that the team can achieve good results in the Asian Cup. Everyone also hopes to perform well. This is fighting spirit! But fighting spirit alone is not enough, we need to show momentum. ."
"What is momentum? It's a kind of spirit, a feeling. Specifically, it's not to be afraid of the opponent in the game, but to let the opponent be afraid of us!"
This explanation is novel.
Everyone listened carefully, even Ronaldo and Beckham, who were 'auditing', were no exception.
Wan Sheng continued, "I have already told you about the way the Thais play. Their style of play is very rough. Teams in Southeast Asia have this characteristic. I have to admit that we also have this characteristic."
Wan Sheng already knew something about the Thai team.
As the image representative of the Southeast Asian team, the Thai players also have the bad habits of Southeast Asian football -- dirty and rude.
In particular, they are good at looking at the face of the referee on duty and taking advantage of the referee.
Although the strength of the Thai team is not strong, some tricks such as exaggerated injury actions and clever delaying of the game time often make young opponents with little experience in the game feel at a loss.
In comparison, football in Hong Kong is cleaner, but it's not much better.
For example, these players now have a lot of small moves during normal games, and the more experienced players are also very good at making small moves in the game. If violated, there will be exaggerated performances.
Sometimes when they do, it still feels hilarious, but I have to say, it can confuse the referee on duty. The effect is still significant.
This is actually due to strength. In various teams around the world, teams with poor strength generally have similar problems. In order to not be able to play delicately, they must play harder if they want to win.
Wan Sheng doesn't advocate 'unclean' football, but if an opponent does, he doesn't mind his own players doing the same.
But that's not what Wansheng talks about, he continued to explain. "You have to show momentum. You don't just rely on petty moves or complimented performances. I don't advocate doing so. Those are just petty tricks. If you want to show momentum, relying on petty tricks can sometimes be counterproductive."
"We need to rely on a tough style of play."
"I've emphasized toughness again and again, and maybe some of you don't understand it. Then I'll be specific about what to do in the game."
"Three o'clock!"
Wan Sheng said and stretched out a finger, "The first point. We have to play more resolutely, no matter what choice we make in the game, don't hesitate, pass the ball when you need to, shoot when you need to, and do whatever you want. You have to be decisive, which will make the cooperation smoother and more targeted.”
"Second point."
Wan Sheng stretched out two fingers and said, "About shooting. If there is a chance in front of you, shoot directly. Don't hesitate, and don't think about the chance. If you strike hard, even if you can't score, you will still have to shoot. Let your opponent know how great it is!"
"If the opponent's players block with their bodies and kick hard, don't be afraid, come here a few times to see if they are afraid!"
Hearing this, many players felt chills in their hearts.
The same goes for the two Beckhams next to them. Imagine that the Hong Kong team really did this in the game. Thai players really have to be careful.
Wansheng doesn't care what the players think, the game is all about showing momentum, and how to play is just a means and a process, "The third point, what I want to say is fighting, playing harder and more manly! Do you understand? Don't be afraid. If you want the opponent, don’t be afraid of fouling, just pay attention to some actions that may take cards, and then rush to fight the opponent recklessly.”
"I believe that our strength is not weaker than the opponent's. As long as we can achieve the above three points, kick out the momentum and make the opponent fear us, then we will win half."
Wan Sheng said and looked at everyone.
After everyone digested it for a while, he continued, "You must remember what I said, I don't want to see any of you playing like a bitch in tomorrow's game, I will definitely replace you at that time!"
"Don't think about winning or losing, just follow the tactics and play seriously, I believe we will win!"
"Tomorrow night, I hope we can celebrate the early qualifying. Until then, don't think about anything, and I don't want to hear what anyone said in an interview with the media. Do you understand?"
The players all nodded.
Wan Sheng looked at the high spirits of the whole team, and then nodded with satisfaction and announced the disbandment.

Wansheng explained the tactics of the game, and did not avoid Ronaldo and Beckham. The two have been listening in.
Beckham played under Wan Sheng and had great confidence in Wan Sheng's ability. He didn't think so, but Ronaldo was different.
The 'Alien' has some complaints about Wansheng.
The training plan that Wan Sheng gave him only lasted for one day, but the above training content was too much, the training volume in one day almost reached his limit, he barely completed 60% of the training volume, and he could not do it again down.
Ronaldo didn't think this would have any effect, and naturally he also questioned Wansheng's other abilities.
Just like the tactic explained by Wansheng just now, from Ronaldo's point of view, this is too simple. After a long time, the summary is, "The game has to be played tough..."
Then, no more.
Specific to how to do in the game, except for some suggestions, the rest depends entirely on the player's performance, no matter how you think about it, it feels very unreliable.
If the coach had only to say that, he would be able to coach too.
So Ronaldo is not optimistic about tomorrow's game between Hong Kong, China and Thailand. After returning to the hotel, he also said to Beckham, "David, I think the Wansheng team will definitely lose tomorrow."
"Why do you say that?" Beckham was a little puzzled.
"Look at the tactics he arranged today, he has always emphasized toughness and toughness, and it depends entirely on the players' performance. What effect can this have? As far as I know, the strength of the Hong Kong team is completely inferior to that of Thailand. How many chances? In my opinion. He is far worse than Bosque..." Ronaldo said his thoughts.
Instead, Beckham just smiled and said, "We're just new to the team and don't know the situation, Luis. You shouldn't jump to conclusions like this. From January to May. I've been playing at Manchester City, I'm right He understands it very well, and unlike you, I think the Hong Kong team is very promising."
"Oh? Why?" Ronaldo asked suspiciously.
"Because he is Wansheng."
"Huh? What?"
"He is Wansheng." Beckham said with a look of trust. "He is Wansheng. He is very capable. I believe in him. I even think. He is better than Mr. Ferguson..."
"Ferguson? David, are you crazy!"
"I'm serious." Beckham said, "Although I respect Mr. Ferguson, I do think he is better. This is the most profound experience I have experienced in my five months at Manchester City. In his team, every I personally trust him, he will help players adjust their physical condition and perform better in the game. Also. His tactical ability is very strong, in the Premier League. Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, Coupled with Liverpool, Arsenal and other teams, they were all defeated by him one by one, and they rarely have the upper hand against him, do you understand? Luis?"
Ronaldo shook his head, "I don't understand. The only thing I know is, David, you've been fooled by him. But I don't care if they win or not. I'm here to lose weight, but the weight loss plan he gave is too much. It's exhausting, and I don't know if that's going to work."
"Louis, you have to be more confident. It's only one day, isn't it?" Beckham advised, "I believe in Wansheng, since he said that it will work in a short time, it will definitely work. You can train for a few days with peace of mind. Look again."
"All right."
Ronaldo sighed, although he still didn't believe it, but for the sake of his friends, he should stay for a few more days.

On July 12, in the Asian Cup finals, Group A ushered in the second round.
There are two games on this day, in addition to the games between Thailand and Hong Kong, there is also a Group B Vietnam vs. Qatar.
Normally, both games are nothing to watch, because Thailand, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Qatar are not the teams to watch in the Asian Cup, but because Wan Sheng coached Hong Kong, China changed all that. Hong Kong is in the Asian Cup. After the victory over Australia, it attracted more attention, and the competition between Hong Kong, China and Thailand also attracted countless attention.
Before the game, both Thailand coach Chaveit and Hong Kong coach Wan Sheng were interviewed by the media.
For the Thai team, the game is very important.
The match against the Chinese Hong Kong team is not only related to Thailand's qualifying issue in Group A, but also to an embarrassing football history in Thailand.
Looking at the history of Thailand's Asian Cup finals, it is not difficult to find that this team has reached the finals five times, in 1972, 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004.
Among them, Thailand was the host in 1972, and they achieved the best record in the history of the Asian Cup - third place.
In addition, in 1976, although the Thai team broke through from the qualifiers, but withdrew from the finals.
In the last 4 games, with the expansion of the participating teams in the Asian Cup finals, the Thai team has become a regular visitor. The Thai team only achieved 2 draws each in 1992 and 2000, and lost all the other 8 group matches.
Even in 1972, the Thai team with the host advantage won the third runner-up, and the Thais did not win any victory in 90 minutes in that game. This is the most embarrassing place for the Thai team - entering the Asian Cup finals many times. laps, but did not win within 90 minutes, such a 'crazy' record is really unimaginable.
This Asian Cup, the keynote set by the Thai team is, "At least we must achieve a breakthrough in winning the Asian Cup!"
In the last game against Iraq, the Thai team ended up with a draw, and in the next game against Australia, the strongest in the group, the Thais will not have much confidence.
Then this match against the Hong Kong team is the most promising. The Thai team hopes to beat the Hong Kong team, then they can get 4 points. While completing the 'historic breakthrough', they can also be in the group points. Gain an advantage in order to successfully qualify for the group stage. As the host, he achieved good results in entering the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup.
Thailand coach Chaveit also talked about this topic in an interview, "We hope to win and end the embarrassing record in the history of Thai football."
"This game is the most promising. The opponents are not weak, they just won Australia. But the players of the whole team are fighting. The game at home is very good for us and I believe we can get the final victory!"
The confidence expressed by the Thai coach Chavit made the Thai media and fans very happy, and they expected the team to achieve the set goals.
But as an opponent, Wansheng didn't care about it.
When a reporter talked about what Chavett said, Wan Sheng's expression became serious, and then he said seriously. "Each of us. We should have enough respect for the achievements of Thai football, to participate in five Asian Cups and not win a game in 90 minutes, this kind of record is not easy to come by, other teams want to break It's also difficult."
"It's a great achievement! I really hope that the Thai team can keep it up, then next time we will be able to say, look at how amazing the Thai team is. They have played in the Asian Cup 6 times and they haven't won. A victory. That's really respectable..."
After Wan Sheng finished speaking seriously, he ignored the dumbfounded reporter and walked away.
As soon as he walked out the door, he heard a burst of lively laughter from behind, and the laughter was also mixed with the gritted scolding of the Thai media reporters.
Wan Sheng shrugged indifferently and walked directly to the visiting team's locker room.
The team's warm-up is almost over, and he will return to the locker room to make final arrangements for the team.

Rajamangala Stadium.
In the first game of the second round of the Asian Group A, the host Thailand faces Hong Kong, China has begun.
The game just started, and both teams let go of their hands and feet and started a fierce fight. The constant change of possession made the game even more intense.
Watching the game on the field, the Thai media and fans were gnashing their teeth.
Before the game, what Wansheng said had already been passed on to the ears of Thai fans. Obviously, Wansheng was taking Thailand's embarrassing record of 'entering the Asian Cup 5 times, but failing to win 5 times' to conduct an evaluation of Thai football. irony.
Thai fans have a good impression of Wansheng. One is that Wansheng is very famous. He is a world-class coach. Among the sixteen teams in the Asian Cup, he is definitely the most famous. For clubs controlled by a Thai consortium, they can convert it to believe that Wan Sheng is coaching a Thai team.
Therefore, the Thai people are very kind to Wansheng, and they also classify him as a "person of their own".
But now, Wansheng has become the biggest enemy of the Thai people!
This Chinese person dares to use the most embarrassing record of Thai football as a means to refute the statement of the Thai coach Chaveit, which is simply intolerable!
"Isn't it just a matter of luck to win Australia, what's so great!" The Thai media gnashed their teeth and thought. Some of the reporters attended the pre-match press conference. They still remembered those colleagues from other countries after Wansheng left. mocking eyes.
Unforgettable!
"We must win! When we win the game, let's see what this **** guy will do!" The Thai media all thought.
At the same time, Thai fans also responded.
On the field of play, whenever a Hong Kong player holds the ball, the Thai fans will make a 'boo' sound, they want to influence the performance of the Hong Kong player.
But the Thais were disappointed.
Even the Thai media have to admit that at least ten minutes into the game, Hong Kong, China did not have a disadvantage on the scene. They competed fiercely with the Thai team. The data of the two sides in terms of fighting, ball control, shooting, etc. are similar. The current performance of Hong Kong, China, it is completely impossible to see where they are weaker than the Thai team.
————
Watching the game on the field, Thailand coach Chaveit was surprised.
Before the game, the Thai team also did a lot of preparation for the game. Chaveit also studied the game between Hong Kong, China and Australia. Hong Kong, China was very tenacious. They almost devoted all their energy to defense, and relying on the last time, the striker Zhuo Zhuo's personal performance scored a goal and won the game against Australia.
As far as the Hong Kong team's style of play is concerned, there is actually nothing surprising. It is just a defensive counterattack. There is also some luck in winning the game. In the last goal, Zhuo Zhuo's performance was so good that he almost single-handedly helped him. Hong Kong team scored.
In addition, Chavett also carefully studied the strength of each player in Hong Kong.
In general, this is a semi-amateur team, and it has not reached a very professional level, especially some young players in the team, some of whom have an annual salary similar to that of ordinary workers, and their strength is not surprising at all.
No matter how you compare, the Thai team is much stronger than the Chinese Hong Kong team.
It is with this research that Chaveit believes that Hong Kong, China will continue to adhere to the tactics of defensive counterattacks, only in this way will they have the best chance of scoring points.
But now the game is quite the opposite!
Hong Kong, China has no intention of defending and counterattacking at all. When they came up, they competed with the Thai team for control of the midfield. It seemed that they wanted to fight against the Thai team.
The opponent's way of playing is really unexpected.
But Chaveit felt that it was in the best interest of the Thai team to fight like this without the opponent's mind. The opponent's strength was not as good as the Thai team. Because of this goal, it would not be a problem to even win.
As for the tie between the opponent and the Thai team, there was no disadvantage. Chaveit didn't care. In his opinion, the opponent was just relying on a momentum, and the momentum could not last for the whole game. The time is all in Thailand.
Chavett made a judgment and sat on the coach's seat with peace of mind.
He felt the game was under control.
