Chapter 316 Racers and Gasoline

On the second day of the match against Iraq, there was a one-day truce such as the Asian Cup, but Hong Kong, China, did not rest, and was still training and preparing for the war normally.

As Wan Sheng said, the time to celebrate has not yet reached the group stage, they still have to continue to work hard and strive to go further.

There is no rest day, and no players will complain. For Hong Kong players, every step is to create a miracle of Hong Kong football. The whole of Hong Kong, including many domestic fans, is watching them and supporting them. To be able to perform one more point in the Asian Cup, no matter how much effort you put in, it will be worth it. What's more, in the past few days of training, every player is full of energy to prepare for the game.

Due to yesterday's game, the entire team consumed a lot of physical energy, and this day was mainly for recovery training.

Wansheng has prepared a training plan for each team member early. This content includes all the training for the next three days, some of which are to restore physical fitness, some players still need to do personal training, and a large part is to continue Conduct tactical training.

After nearly a month of training and competition, it is not easy for most of the players in Hong Kong, China to effectively improve their physical abilities. There are only a limited number of players who can improve a little bit in confrontation. Others want to improve quickly. , only in terms of technical properties.

In this regard, Wansheng does not intend to let the players contact.

One of the important reasons is that the effect of improving technical ability attributes is not very obvious. For example, after a few days of training, a player's shooting ability or dribbling ability improves by "1", but this reflects in the game, it can be said that there is no Meaning, unless the team as a whole is greatly improved, there is no effect at all.

Therefore, the personal training of the players of the team is actually based on physical attributes and abilities.

Physical attributes have improved almost. The important point becomes the tactical coordination ability.

Under the effect of the 'collaboration' skill, the whole team is already familiar with the chain defense system. With the basis of defense, the most effective way to improve is to let the team adapt to some offensive routines.

This aspect of training. Hong Kong players still feel very novel.

The players on the team are almost all at the bottom of professional football. When they play football in the club, most of the contact training is very simple, and they rarely adapt to the training with the routine.

To this end, Wansheng formulated a few simple cooperation routines, and let Diamares and Fan Zhiyi lead the team to get acquainted.

He hopes that the players in the team will be familiar with these routines before the quarter-finals, then when it comes to the game against Vietnam. The team can also play better offensively. The chances of scoring a goal will be even greater.

After arranging the training plan and explaining the training content in detail, Wan Sheng completely handed over the training to others. Instead, he sat and watched leisurely.

This is the division of labor between the coaching staff.

Wansheng is like the 'supervisor' of the coaching staff. He is the boss and No. 1. He has a lot of work and needs to formulate training plans. To lead the team to the game, it is necessary to strengthen the team morale. He also has to do a good job in other aspects, but after doing these, he will not be concerned at all, and the work of leading the team is entirely carried out by a few assistant coaches.

After a day of training, the entire team has recovered, and the next day, the training for tactical coordination will officially begin.

By this time, Wansheng was more relaxed.

This is also the 'good luck' of the whole team of Hong Kong, China, because Hong Kong, China is the first place in Group A in the Thailand Division, and the place for their quarter-final match with Vietnam is still the Rajamangala National Stadium, and they will not change training. The venue, like the home team, just needs to wait for Vietnam to come.

In the afternoon, Wan Sheng left Thailand by plane and went to Malaysia.

In Group C, the last group match of the Chinese team and Uzbekistan is about to begin. Wansheng was invited by Central TV5 to explain the game as a special guest and the host.

After getting off the plane, the staff of Central TV came to pick up the plane. When we arrived at the studio area specially arranged for Central TV, the game would start in half an hour.

Central TV has already started to broadcast the game live.

Wan Sheng packed up and came to the studio to sit down. Just as he was about to ask something, the camera suddenly switched.

Wan Sheng was a little caught off guard, and the commentator Liu Jianhong immediately laughed, "Let's see who's here?" Following the voice, the camera shot straight at the past.

Instead, Wan Sheng wiped his hair with his hand and said with a smile, "I was really taken aback, please forgive my bad image, I just came over from the airport."

"It's okay, I think the fans and friends in front of the TV will forgive you." Liu Jianhong said to the camera, "Maybe in front of the TV, there are still some fans and friends who don't know much about it, so let me introduce you, on my right, today The guest invited to the game is Wan Sheng, the head coach of the Premier League Manchester City Club. At the end of the season in May, Wan Sheng was invited to temporarily take over Hong Kong, China. He has led Hong Kong, China to appear as the first in Group A. They will face Vietnam in the quarter-finals. team……"

"Today, Wansheng was invited to be a guest on Central TV to explain China's game against Uzbekistan."

After Liu Jianhong's introduction, he said to Wan Sheng, "According to the reactions of many media and fans, you don't give many interviews. At the request of many fans, I want to conduct an on-site interview with you, okay?"

"Of course, I came here for an interview. If I'm still shy at this time, I should wear a hat that covers my face." Wan Sheng joked.

"You are so humorous, I think fans and friends will like it. So, Wansheng, can you talk about your experience of leading the team? As we all know, Hong Kong, China is not a strong team, it is one of the worst teams in Asia, then you are How did you lead Hong Kong, China to beat Australia, Thailand and draw against Iraq in Group A? In my opinion, these results can really be described as 'miracles'."

Wan Sheng thought for a while and said, "I think the secret is to be firm. On the first day of training, I told the team members that you must be firm, have firm beliefs, and have an indomitable spirit."

"Our training was very hard. From the preparation to the present, we only took a day off. It was the match against the Thai team. After the qualifying places were confirmed, during this period, our main training content was confrontation and physical fitness. This is what the team lacks. , on the contrary, the technical aspects are not really important.”

"Everyone persevered and persevered throughout the game, which is the most important thing, I always thought. There will be no unbeatable opponents. Just work hard and work hard!"

Wan Sheng said it in a general way, but he understood the general idea.

Liu Jianhong nodded and said, "The results of Hong Kong, China now prove that your work is very successful."

"thanks."

"So now, let's return to the topic of this game, Wansheng. A lot of media are talking about it. You are very good at predicting the game, so now can you predict the score of this game."

Wan Sheng immediately shook his head and said, "No way."

"Why?" Liu Jianhong wondered.

"The games I predict are often viewed and analyzed from an objective point of view. For example, the European Cup and the World Cup, those games have nothing to do with me, and I have no team to support. So I can predict very objectively."

"But this game won't work, just like the fans and friends in front of the TV. In life, I am also a pure Chinese fan. I support the Chinese team. From a personal point of view, I naturally hope that the Chinese team can win, so I You can't look at the game in a neutral way."

Liu Jianhong immediately applauded, "So that's what happened."

"Then the next question, as a world-famous head coach, can you give the Chinese team some advice?"

Wan Sheng said, "I've said this long ago. The biggest problem with the Chinese team is the lack of physical fitness. The performance gap between the second half of the game is too large."

"This is a very serious problem. In every Chinese team's game, the first half will be very good, but in the second half, the physical fitness will not keep up, resulting in a big difference in performance, and will often be caught by the opponent. Chance."

"The team is like a sports car, each player is a part of the sports car, some of which are critical and some are not critical, but each player is very important and can completely affect the performance of the sports car, and the coach, like a For racing drivers, football matches are the same as racing cars. The sports car with the best performance runs the fastest, but it may not be able to win the racing car. This is also closely related to the level of the racing driver. No matter how good a sports car is, it also needs power. What is power? Everyone knows that gasoline. The team’s physical fitness is gasoline. No matter how good a sports car is, if there is not enough gasoline, it will not run in the middle of the road. At this time, the performance of the sports car is No matter how good the racers are, it is useless no matter how high the level of the racers is, so my suggestion to the Chinese team is to fill up the 'oil' before each race, so that each team member can have sufficient physical fitness. Those who are not sufficient Physically able players, no matter how strong their abilities are, their fame is meaningless."

The metaphor of Wansheng made Liu Jianhong unable to help but applaud, and the staff next to him applauded.

"Wan Sheng, you said it's really good." Liu Jianhong couldn't help but said, "In our live broadcast, we hardly praise the guests, but my current mood can only be described as 'amazing', I think Your words will soon spread throughout China."

"Thank you." Wan Sheng responded politely.

Liu Jianhong quickly recovered and continued to ask, "Okay, so do you have any other suggestions for the Chinese team?"

Wan Sheng thought about it and said, "As far as the game is concerned, I don't think the Chinese team's defense should be too conservative, they should be confident, try to let the ball move in the opponent's half, and organize the attack when the opponent makes mistakes. If you play like this, at least it will be a draw. Everyone must have a unified mind on the field."

Liu Jianhong nodded. The media interviewed many international famous football figures and pointed out the conservative problem of the Chinese team. This is also a commonplace.

He continued to ask, "Wan Sheng, you don't want to predict the score of this game, so can you predict the future trend of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup?"

"Also, which team are you most optimistic about in this World Cup? The host? Japan, South Korea? Or the West Asian team?"

Wan Sheng nodded and said, "As long as the Chinese team passes the Uzbek pass and breaks the so-called 'curse' in the media, I believe they will go far, and it is normal to reach the final."

"I don't have a particularly optimistic team. If I really want to say, I only like Hong Kong, China. That's the team I lead."

After that, Wan Sheng said indifferently, "We don't need to care about the hosts, they will be out of the game!"

This sentence immediately made Liu Jianhong smile.

Some fans in front of the TV turned their heads and reacted. At present, only Vietnam can qualify for the host team, and Vietnam will meet Hong Kong, China in the quarter-finals. In other words, Wansheng is expressing that China Hong Kong will definitely beat Vietnam to reach the semi-finals! (To be continued ~^~)
