Chapter 323 Strength and Mentality

In the first game of the Asian Cup semi-finals, South Korea VS Hong Kong, China, the press conference held the day before was already in chaos.

On the rostrum, Wan Sheng pointed at Verbek with anger on his face, and the latter fell to the ground in a mess and panic.

The reporters in the audience were stunned, and immediately began to frantically take pictures.

Only then did Verbek react to what happened. He stood up angrily, pointed at Wan Sheng and yelled, "What have you done!"

Wan Sheng put the mineral water bottle still on the ground, stared at the past, raised the corners of his mouth, and sneered, "Didn't you say that I am afraid of you? I am here, see who is afraid of who!"

Verbek took a step back in fright, and immediately roared in shame, "You reckless brat! Barbarian!" He glanced at Wan Sheng's face, then looked at the embarrassment on his body, and hurriedly shouted, "Security guard! Security guard! Where!" He kept shouting and gesturing as he left the press conference.

He had no face to stay longer.

Wansheng watched with a sneer all the time, and stood on tiptoe as if he was enjoying a classic blockbuster. Compared with Verbek's embarrassment, his leisurely appearance was much better.

After Verbek left, the media reporters immediately pointed all kinds of equipment to Wansheng.

Wan Sheng also looked at the reporter and said with a slight smile, "That Dutchman said I was afraid of him? But you see, I'm still sitting here, he's gone, it's clear who is afraid of who!"

Many reporters nodded, including Korean media reporters. They immediately felt wrong when they reacted. They should support Verbek anyway!

Wan Sheng continued, "I hate this kind of villain who speaks ill of people behind their backs! When I stand in front of him, he doesn't dare to say anything."

"Mr. Verbeck is just joking!" Some Korean media helped to explain.

"Just kidding?" Wan Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't think he's joking, I heard it all, he said 'the Chinese team has a tradition of being afraid of the Korean team', which is an insult to the Chinese team, he said it before, 'Hong Kong, China can also be counted as a Chinese team', then I can understand that he is insulting my team."

"He also said, 'Their team is afraid of us, their players are afraid of our players, and maybe their coach, also afraid of me', which is his exact words, which is a serious challenge to me and my team. !"

Wan Sheng said seriously, "If this is a joke, then I will joke about him and the Korean team every day in the future, and in front of the public, I will say, 'The Korean team is a bunch of cowards, they are afraid of me', or go further, 'Koreans are cowards', you think it's a joke?"

The South Korean reporter was at a loss for words.

There was no public opinion on this topic, and some reporters immediately began to ask about the 'phobia of Korea' that Verbeek talked about just now, "Do you think the historical records of the Chinese team and the Korean team will affect the hearts of the players? ?"

Wan Sheng said, "You'd better ask about the future, especially tomorrow's game, not history."

"So tomorrow's game?"

Wan Sheng said with a smile, "But when we talk about the upcoming game, we must not forget the history." He put on a playful look, completely unwilling to answer the Korean reporter's question directly.

The reporter under the stage turned black.

Korean reporters stopped talking, and some Japanese reporters asked, "If Hong Kong, China reaches the finals, would you rather meet Japan or Saudi Arabia?"

Wan Sheng said, "You must want to hear that I am willing to meet Saudi Arabia, which proves that Japan is more difficult to deal with. But the Saudi journalists present must have different ideas. I can't satisfy all of you, so I can only do this. Said, 'It's a shame to ask such a question when Hong Kong, China, is fully preparing for the semi-finals.'"

Speaking with a regretful expression on his face, he felt like he was really sorry, and the Japanese reporter felt as if he had eaten a fly.

So some reporters immediately shifted the topic to the target issue in Hong Kong, China.

So far, Hong Kong, China has exceeded its goals. It is a miracle that the group appeared, and it is even more shocking for everyone to enter the semi-finals.

But Wan Sheng said, "Our mission has been completed, because the biggest goal of the Hong Kong Football Association is to qualify for the group. But I have also said earlier that my goal is to lead the team to the championship, so we still There are two important games to play and the Asian Cup is far from over for my team."

When Wan Sheng talked about this, many media felt very emotional. Back then, this young Chinese said that the goal of Hong Kong, China was to be the champion, and no one cared at all, but they have come to this point, and now the champion is no longer for them. out of reach.

So a reporter soon turned the topic to the mineral water bottle that Wansheng had just burst, because that is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

It was also until this time that many people recalled the scene that just happened, and their hearts were full of shock.

How did he do that?

Wan Sheng's mouth twitched, but he just said lightly, "It's nothing special, you'd better ask questions about football."

In fact, Wansheng still has a sense of achievement in this regard. He didn't do anything, and he was able to squeeze a mineral water bottle. That's because of his great strength.

After sharing the attributes and abilities obtained by the players' tasks, Wansheng's biggest improvement is the ability of various physical attributes.

Regardless of physical fitness, confrontation ability, or other attributes, his average value has reached a high of '95'. This attribute evaluation is of a very high level. In terms of comprehensive physical attributes, it has surpassed all professional players. In terms of strength, Maybe only weightlifters can compare with him, but weightlifters can't have such balanced strength, and in terms of grip strength alone, few can be higher than him.

Wan Sheng is getting closer and closer to the "Superman Dream".

————

After a press conference, many media reporters who interviewed Wansheng for the first time felt that this young Chinese was as difficult as his colleagues said, even more difficult than imagined.

In the same way, as my colleagues said, this Chinese is always surrounded by big news!

Almost all the media that night were reporting on the live conflict between Wansheng and Verbek.

"Wan Sheng and Verbeek almost fought each other!"

"Wansheng displayed a pinched mineral water bottle on the spot, and Verbek was shocked!"

"South Korea and Hong Kong coaches in the first round, Hong Kong wins!"

"It's just... an unimaginable scene!"

"Too chaotic! Earthquake before the semi-finals! Verbeek lost!"

"..."

In these reports, many Korean media also stood up to complain about Weibeck, and believed that Wansheng had a tendency to be violent, and asked the AFC to severely punish Wansheng, but obviously, even if the AFC intends to investigate the matter , nor can it be done in one night.

But in fact, Korean fans didn't have any intention of 'making injustice' for Verbek. Instead, they felt that Wansheng was very imposing. In the video of the press conference scene, Verbek was obviously the villain and villain in the TV series, while Wansheng was clearly the villain. It is the idol of justice who stands up to defeat the villain.

Of course, it is inevitable that some people in the media will criticize Wansheng's "violence", but more arguments are voices of support for Wansheng. The reason for this is that Verbek has always provoked this incident.

But regardless of the result, the farce at the press conference has become gossip in the media across Asia, and even many European media have reported on it.

The European media will definitely not support Verbek. They don’t have any favorable impression of South Korea. On the contrary, Wansheng coached Manchester City and succeeded in England. He is considered to be one of Europe’s ‘own’.

European media coverage can be imagined.

"Wansheng VS Weibeck, 10:0, a complete victory."

"Asian Cup, Wansheng staged 'Quan Wuxing' and won the championship without pressure!"

"Pinch the mineral water bottle, Wansheng, the first football coach!"

"..."

In these reports, what was left was Verbeck's unwilling and embarrassed face.

Verbek was of course very unwilling, so he made some trouble for Wan Sheng. After returning to the hotel that day, he immediately contacted the Kuala Lumpur police and the AFC, explaining that Wan Sheng was "premeditated to intimidate him."

This matter is not too big or not, Verbek's reason is, "It is impossible for a normal person to squeeze a mineral water bottle, he must have done something, and then premeditatedly intimidated me, hoping to use such despicable means, to influence tomorrow's game."

The news reports are so hot, the Kuala Lumpur police and the AFC are naturally aware of the situation. The AFC doesn't care at all. Their efficiency is not that high. The Kuala Lumpur police sent a police officer to understand the situation in detail.

The Kuala Lumpur police are just pretending. After all, it happened in the public eye. Even if Wansheng was 'premeditated', it has nothing to do with them. The two didn't really fight, they just pretended to investigate. , so that the public can't say anything.

This caused Wansheng a little trouble, but the process was also very interesting.

The policeman, Li Guocheng, originally admired Wansheng very much. He came to the hotel in Hong Kong, China. After finding Wansheng, he first asked Wansheng for an autograph, and also asked others to help take a group photo.

Then Li Guocheng talked about the purpose, which is to let Wansheng talk about the process symbolically.

Li Guocheng's attitude was obviously protective, but Wan Sheng didn't respond, but asked, "That guy said I planned to intimidate him?"

Li Guocheng nodded.

"His reason is that ordinary people can't squeeze a mineral water bottle?"

Li Guocheng nodded again.

Wan Sheng smiled, "That's easy to do." After speaking, he instructed the staff next to him to bring a bottle of mineral water at random, and asked Li Guocheng to shoot with his mobile phone, "You take a picture and hand it over, nothing will happen. already."

Li Guocheng complied in confusion, and then he saw that the bottle of mineral water burst open with a 'bang' as soon as Wansheng exerted force with one hand.

Li Guocheng was shocked on the spot.

Wan Sheng said, "Did you see it? Did you cheat? I was just very angry at the time, and there was no premeditated plan. Anyone would be angry when faced with provocation."

Li Guocheng nodded dumbly.

After returning to the police station and submitting the recorded video to his superiors, he found a bottle of mineral water as soon as possible, squeezed it with both hands, and grinned without moving.

"How strong is his hand!" Immediately, all that was left was his deep admiration for Wan Sheng.

————

Although Wansheng "did a great job" in the press conference, the real battlefield is in the game, and Chinese fans are all looking forward to the game.

What Verbek said of 'Korean fear' is not recognized by Wansheng. Chinese fans, especially mainland fans, do not want to recognize it, but they still hope that one day, the Chinese team can defeat South Korea and end this 'humiliating' football history.

The historical battle record is there. Although Hong Kong, China is not a Chinese team, Chinese fans always have a kind of hatred for South Korea. They hope that Hong Kong, China can defeat South Korea.

But think about it, it is indeed a bit extravagant to win in Hong Kong, China.

Hong Kong, China!

As the last Asian player in the past, it is a miracle that Hong Kong, China can enter the semi-finals. It is too difficult to win against a strong team like South Korea, even if a few Korean stars did not make it to the roster of the 'Korea Second Team' .

Although Hong Kong China defeated a strong team - Australia before, where is Australia now? Their group was eliminated.

Australia is a strong team, but in the hearts of many fans, this Australian team is not that strong. At least it did not perform well. Otherwise, even if they lost to Hong Kong, China, they should not have been eliminated in the group.

Therefore, many fans believe that Hong Kong, China's encounter with South Korea is the biggest challenge since entering the Asian Cup!

————

Wan Sheng didn't think too much about it, the game was about to start, and everything had already been said, and it was meaningless to talk about challenges.

The next day, Hong Kong, China did the final training, with a three-hour break at noon, and some small coordination exercises in the afternoon, aiming to keep the team in the best condition without consuming the players’ physical strength.

At 5:30 p.m., Hong Kong entered the Bukit Jalil Stadium. The whole team went to the locker room to change clothes, and then completed the warm-up.

At this time, Wan Sheng had already returned to the locker room. Seeing that it was almost time, he stood in the middle and looked at everyone, giving them the final instructions.

"The game is about to start, and now I need you to always remember..."

All players listen carefully.

Wan Sheng said earnestly word by word, "Our team is the bottom team in Asia! We are a weak team!"

The players looked at each other, wondering why the coach suddenly said that.

"In the first four games, we beat Australia, Thailand, Vietnam and drew with Iraq. Our results were magnificent, but what did we rely on?"

"In the game against Australia, we relied on defense; in the game against Thailand, we also relied on defense for a large part. So far, the only game we played head-on was the last game against Vietnam. Do you know why?"

"Because in my opinion, we are only better than Vietnam. Compared with other Asian teams, we are too far behind!"

The players bowed their heads and thought about it. This is really the case. In the previous games, although they had good results, most of the time they did not win head-on. They relied on tactics and hard work, not real technical strength. .

Wansheng continued, "So we are actually a weak team, and none of you can be called a star. Compared with the Korean lineup, we are far worse."

"but……"

"We are not strong, but in many football games, the weak win the strong. We have done it before. I hope we can still do it this time!"

"Are you confident!?"

"Have!"

The players yelled.

Seeing the high morale of the whole team, Wan Sheng nodded with satisfaction and became more confident in the game.

In fact, Wansheng has a reason for saying this, and it involves the team's style of play.

Compared with the South Korean team, the technical strength of the team is indeed too much. It is very irrational to play head-to-head like a game with Vietnam.

So this game is still about defense.

Since the main focus is on defense, if the players all think, "We are a strong team", or even "our strength is not weaker than our opponents", what kind of defense can they play?

Perhaps in the game, these "confident" players all flew to the opponent's half to attack.

That way the defense can't be played, and the tactics can't be played at all.

After several consecutive victories, the whole team is full of fighting spirit. What Wansheng is most worried about is the hearts of the players. These players are all at the bottom of the professional football world and have never experienced any honors. For them, everything now seems a little illusory. .

No experience means no experience. Even those veteran players may not be able to control their inner thoughts and think that the team is a strong Asian team, let alone young people.

If the strength and mentality are not equal, it is easy to have problems.

Wansheng must remind them to maintain a mentality that is equivalent to the team's strength and tactics, so as to ensure the team's performance. (To be continued ~^~.)
