Chapter 328 Wansheng's Language Art

As planned, the entire Hong Kong team flew to Jakarta, Indonesia the next day.

After checking in at the hotel arranged by the AFC, after everything was sorted out, in the afternoon, all the team members went to the preparation site for adaptive training.

Now the team has taken the last step, and one more step forward is the championship. Stopping here is not what Wansheng wants. Although the outside world says that it is a miracle that Hong Kong, China can reach the finals, the championship is the final The goal, Wansheng will never allow the team to stop here. For him, winning the runner-up is tantamount to failure, and the championship is what he wants.

Wan Sheng told all the team members that they must continue to prepare for the battle with a serious attitude, "The more critical the moment, the more you can't relax!"

This is an experience that comes from experience time and time again.

Often when the critical moment is reached, when the team reaches the semi-finals and finals, some players relax their mentality. They will think that this result is quite good, even if they lose in the finals, it does not matter, especially for Hong Kong, China, who entered the finals. The results are already a miracle. After one more game, they will reach the moment of 'harvest', so their mentality is relaxed, and their preparations and training are not serious.

There are also some players who get very nervous, the closer the game gets, the more nervous they get.

Most of those who are nervous are the main players. Because they have to participate in the finals that many fans are concerned about, they will inevitably appear, but they have no corresponding experience, so they become very nervous.

Whether it is relaxed or nervous, it is a very bad mental state. Wansheng must do some work to adjust the mentality of the players so that the team can meet the final in the best state.

But at this time, there was bad news for Hong Kong, China's preparations, and the assistant coach Diamares, who was mainly responsible for leading the team's training, left.

In the preparation and training of Hong Kong, China, Diamaresde is very important, but Diamares has to leave, because coaching Hong Kong, China is not the main job of Wansheng, the head coach of Manchester City Club is Wansheng win the most important identity.

At the end of July, the Manchester City Club also began to gather for training. Wan Sheng, as the coach of Hong Kong, China, must also coach the final final. As an assistant coach, Diamares must return to the Manchester City Club to help the season. Ready for battle.

Wan Sheng is not too worried about Manchester City's collective training.

In two seasons, the entire Manchester City team has become a tie. Except for the newcomers in a few summers, other players have already adapted to the team's tactics. At the beginning of the preparation and training, it is basically to do some physical recovery and state. For training such as recovery, Wansheng only needs to arrange some personal training work.

However, it is still too busy for Pierce to shoulder all the preparation and training work alone, so Wansheng can only let Diamares go back, so that he does not have to worry about the early preparations for Manchester City Club.

The departure of Diamares still has a certain impact on Hong Kong, China's preparations for the final. A lot of the previous work needs to be shared by Bergkamp and Fan Zhiyi.

In terms of professional team leadership training, Bergkamp and Fan Zhiyi can only be regarded as newcomers, they are retired stars, but in terms of team leadership training, they still have too little experience, they are not professional, they need to learn There are many more. It is difficult for the two of them to do the work that Diamares left behind, so Wansheng still has to personally guide the team's training, and his work has become a lot more arduous.

This afternoon's training, there is nothing to say, nothing more than let the team adapt to the venue, adjust their mentality and state, and prepare to start preparing for the finals.

When the training was over, Wan Sheng received news from the staff that many media reporters wanted to interview the preparations for the war in Hong Kong, China.

There is nothing special about this news. Media reporters have always hoped to cover the preparations for the war in Hong Kong, China, but Wansheng never agreed. This time, many reporters came here, as well as domestic and international influential big media. , Wansheng had to take it seriously.

If he unilaterally considers the team's finals, there is nothing to say. It must be refusing any interview requests, but he also needs to consider the Hong Kong Football Association, or the development of Hong Kong football, which seems to have nothing to do with him, but While leading the team to achieve good results, let Hong Kong football get more attention, and let Hong Kong football have a better development, it is nothing to do something smoothly, so Wansheng announced that the training will be open to the public the next day.

This news made the media reporters who came to interview very happy, especially the Central TV column group. They just wanted to do a 'Hong Kong Miracle' program and take some photos of the training in Hong Kong, China, which was a must. Wansheng was able to agree to the interview The best news.

Wansheng still takes care of the domestic and Hong Kong media. After all, they are all Chinese, and the domestic and Hong Kong media support the Hong Kong team.

Therefore, Wansheng has specially set up special privileges for several influential domestic and Hong Kong media. They can enter the training ground to shoot at will in the next few days, of course, the premise is not to interfere with the normal preparation and training of the team.

The media in other countries do not have this treatment.

This kind of differentiated leadership has aroused the dissatisfaction of many foreign media. They made various voices of doubt, but Wansheng simply ignored it. No matter what the media said, it had no impact on his decision.

When a reporter questioned, "Why should they be treated differently?"

Wan Sheng only said one sentence, "I have the right to decide which media to let into the training ground to shoot interviews, and also the right to ban which media to enter. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the AFC to complain to me."

He doesn't care at all.

This attitude has angered many media reporters, but it’s a pity that Wansheng doesn’t read what they report. As for the complaint to the AFC… Don’t say what the result is, Wansheng will definitely not continue to coach Hong Kong, China. The Football Federation can't handle it at all!

The media reporters gritted their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.

Wansheng didn't care about that, he carefully guided the team to prepare for the game.

After a day of training, Wansheng asked the whole team to gather, looking at the players in front of him, he talked about the team's achievements so far, "The day before yesterday, we defeated South Korea and advanced to the Asian Cup final. , all of you are doing very well."

This is the first time Wansheng has publicly praised a player since that semi-final.

Some players felt very happy, but they wondered why the coach would talk about this two days later. Then, Wan Sheng's voice changed and he said seriously, "However, we have not yet reached the moment of success! Remember the ball When the team first assembled, did I say anything? My goal is not to qualify for the group, but to focus on the championship! At that time, many people thought that it was a joke that we regarded winning the championship as our goal, because we were only the bottom team in Asia. But now? We're in the final!"

"But reaching the final is not the goal, winning the final is the key!"

"You all know what the outside world is saying, they say it's a miracle that we got to the final, but now, I tell you, it's not."

"In the finals, we were at least second, but up to now, we are still just dark horses! Do you know what a dark horse is? Don't take this word as a compliment. In the 1998 World Cup, Croatia was a dark horse, and they won the third place. In the 2002 World Cup, Turkey was a dark horse, and they also won a 'good' result in third place. There are still many competitions in history, and some dark horse teams have appeared, and their final results are surprising. But they are just dark horses, why?"

A lot of players got caught up in thinking.

Wansheng didn't let them think about it for long, and continued, "Greece performed quite well in the 2004 European Cup. They went black to the end and won the championship strongly. So is Greece a dark horse?"

"No! They are called 'miracles'!"

"Dark horses, the reason why they are called dark horses, is because they just played amazing results, but they did not win the final championship. Only the championship can be called a miracle."

"Do you all understand?"

Wan Sheng concluded, "If we stop here and end up in the final, the outside world will think that we have achieved good results, and we will be the biggest dark horse in this Asian Cup, but if we win the final, defeat Saudi Arabia to win. If we win the championship, then we are no longer a dark horse, but a miracle - the Hong Kong miracle!"

"Hong Kong miracle, what a wonderful word, do you want to be the dark horse in the Asian Cup, or do you want to create a miracle? Tell me the answer!"

There is no doubt that almost all players shouted the word "miracle".

No one wants to fall in the finals, no one wants to be a dark horse, miracles are what everyone wants to chase.

After Wansheng's detailed explanation, the players hoped to beat Saudi Arabia and win the Asian Cup. Described as the 'Hong Kong Miracle', as miracle creators, they will also feel a great sense of honor.

They are all hungry for championships.

————

That night, both Central TV and Phoenix TV made detailed reports on Hong Kong's war preparations under the title of "Dark Horse and Miracle".

In the report, they all praised Wan Sheng's remarks and affirmed Hong Kong's spirit of creating miracles.

"In the interview, we can see that from top to bottom, Hong Kong, China is full of a kind of fighting spirit to forge ahead. Every member of the team has devoted 100% of their energy to training, and no one has talked about past games. , no one talks about the upcoming match against Saudi Arabia, everyone is training as required."

"Before, what we knew about Hong Kong, China was only a bottom-notch team in Asia, but after we really conducted an in-depth interview, we realized that this team still has a lot to learn from..."

At the same time as the host reports, there are also training videos from Hong Kong, China, as well as some pictures of Wansheng, Bergkamp, ​​and Fan Zhiyi guiding the team's training in Hong Kong.

These are the first reports from media reporters.

There was no media before, and the preparations for Hong Kong, China were photographed at close range, so that the preparations for Hong Kong, China have always been a mystery, and now fans are watching with great interest.

After the report, the final in Hong Kong, China also gained more public opinion support.

However, in terms of public opinion, Saudi Arabia is not to be outdone. When the news of "swearing to win the championship" broke out in Hong Kong, China, the head coach of the Saudi team, Anjos, was interviewed soon.

In the eyes of the media, this final will be a contest between the team with the most goals and the team with the fewest goals in this Asian Cup.

Saudi Arabia has scored a total of 12 goals in the previous five games, and is the team with the strongest attack; Hong Kong, China only conceded two goals in the game against Iraq, and the other four games were not one goal. conceded, is the team that conceded the fewest goals.

So the head coach of the Saudi team, Anjos, said, "I will let the team continue to use the consistent offensive football to deal with the'steel defense line' of Hong Kong, China."

"The Saudi team will never be conservative. The Saudi team is a team that likes to attack. We will use offensive football to deal with Hong Kong, China, like the Japanese team. This will be a very exciting technical game."

Anjos promised boldly.

Many West Asian media believe that Hong Kong, China will not pose too much threat to Saudi Arabia. The only thing to pay attention to is not to allow Hong Kong, China to 'sneak attack'. In the semi-finals with Australia and South Korea, both teams were due to being attacked. Hong Kong, China's 'sneak attack' led to a loss.

As long as they are not 'sneak attacked' and ensure that the goal is not inexplicably conceded, then Saudi Arabia can win the game, because the strength of Hong Kong, China, is indeed different from that of Saudi Arabia.

In this regard, Anyos said cautiously, "This is the final, and the final is often very difficult. The final is a decision of life and death, and there are many accidental factors. Some people say it is reasonable, but there are too many uncontrollable factors in football games. Hopefully the team can win, but we still need to be cautious."

Anyos hopes that Saudi Arabia can win more championships, then Saudi Arabia will become the first team in the history of the Asian Cup to win four championships, and he will also be recorded in the history of Saudi football.

Soon Wansheng also stood up.

This time, the media did not interview, but he took the initiative to stand up. Facing the match with Saudi Arabia, the chance of winning the game head-on is not as big as imagined, so he needs to do something to make the team more hopeful to win .

Judging from Wansheng's experience, the game is not only a game, but also the contest on and off the court. For example, the media's public opinion may affect the players' hearts and affect their performance.

This time, Wansheng explained to the media what is called the language art of top coaches.

Surrounded by a group of media reporters, Wan Sheng praised Saudi Arabia's performance with a smile, and praised their offensive ability, especially the ability of striker Qahtani.

Yasser al-Qahtani, the best player on the Saudi front, showed his talent on the football pitch early on.

In 2000, the 17-year-old Qahtani joined the Saudi Qadisiya Football Club. However, in the five years of Cadizia, he did not live well. He only played 38 games before and after and scored 19 goals, but his talent has been appreciated by everyone.

In 2002, Qahtani became a Saudi international before he was 20 years old.

In 2003, he represented the Saudi team in the Gulf Cup, and Yasser Qahtani helped the team win the championship with constant goals. The success of the national team made him gradually hot. After two seasons of bargaining, in 2005, the Saudi giant Hilal introduced Qahtani for $5.3 million, setting a transfer record in the Saudi league. This record has never been broken. Qahtani is Currently the most expensive player in Saudi Arabia.

Boss Hillard's deal is well done. Since 2005, Kahtani has scored 48 goals in 95 games for the club and is the team's leading scorer. With the continuous growth in the league, Qahtani's position in the Saudi team has become more and more solid. In the 2006 World Cup, he broke the door of the national football team.

So far this Asian Cup, Qahtani has helped Saudi Arabia score four goals, ranking first in the scorer list.

For Saudi opponents, Qahtani must be on the lookout.

Wansheng talked about Kahtani, "I admire him very much. I think he is the best scorer in this Asian Cup."

This sentence immediately made the Saudi media happy. They declared with great excitement, "Wansheng is likely to take a fancy to Yasher, and Yasir is likely to transfer to Manchester City in the summer and successfully land in the Europa League", and then consider Manchester City as the Premier League. The status of the defending champion, and the ability to directly participate in the Champions League, if Yasher can perform well, he is likely to become a world-renowned star.

After praising Saudi Arabia's offense and opposing strikers, Wan Sheng talked about Saudi Arabia's weaknesses, "Their defense is a problem, there is a saying in football that 'defense wins', I think, we want to beat Saudi Arabia's key point , it's all about the opponent's defense."

Then Wansheng talked about the game, "In this game, I will make the team play beautiful offensive football, which is my old job. Recently, I have made the team adapt to a new attack. I think it is not a problem to break the Saudi goalkeeper with the team's offensive ability. The key point of the game is how much Saudi Arabia's defense can do, and we need to consider It's an attack."

Wan Sheng's remarks are very confusing, and people don't know what to say.

However, the media quickly parsed each word one by one, and believed that what Wansheng said was very reasonable. Saudi Arabia's advantage lies in offense, so they need to pay attention to defense. Hong Kong's advantage lies in defense, so they need to pay attention to offense.

Taking into account Wansheng's leading style and the gorgeous offensive football of Manchester City, many media believe that "this game is likely to become a battle of technical football!"

"In terms of real confrontation, Saudi Arabia has an advantage in strength, but Wansheng has always been good at creating miracles, and Saudi Arabia is not 100% sure of winning."

"Now we can look forward to the game."

After analyzing Wansheng's remarks, many media reported Wansheng's evaluation of Saudi striker Yasser, and believed that Yasir was likely to move to Manchester City and officially land in Europe.
