Chapter 1,164 Fu Bo’s Purpose of Coming
The next day, the Chinese national team conducted adaptive training at the Royal Stadium in Amman, the capital of Jordan.
This was Gao Xiaodong's second training session after returning to the team. Camacho's original intention was to practice something real without allowing reporters and fans to watch, but the Jordanians deliberately stumbled and deliberately let fans and reporters in. The Chinese team The protest was ineffective, and Camacho had no choice but to do basic technical and tactical training.
After the training, Camacho took Gao Xiaodong to hold a pre-match press conference as scheduled.
At the press conference, Camacho answered the questions that fans are most concerned about, including Gao Xiaodong's usage, the Chinese team's style of play, and the goal of the game against Jordan.
Camacho said that Gao Xiaodong is very comprehensive and can play any position. However, the Chinese team currently lacks offensive players, so Gao Xiaodong's position is in the frontcourt.
In the game against Singapore, the Chinese team's playing style was not distinctive. Camacho believed that this was normal. The team still needs more time to understand his tactical concepts and form a tactical system.
Camacho was very cautious about the goal of playing against Jordan. He believed that although the Chinese team had a hearty victory against Singapore, Singapore's strength could not be compared with Jordan. In the away game, the Chinese team scored one point. It is also a good result. There are 6 games in the group stage. It is more realistic to score one point in the away game and return to the home court to solve the problem.
However, Gao Xiaodong has a different view than Camacho. Gao Xiaodong believes that Jordan's upset victory over Iraq in an away game will increase Jordan's appetite. The strength of Jordan and the Chinese team is about the same. If the Jordan team is proud and underestimates the enemy, it will increase Jordan's appetite. If they win, the Chinese team will have great hopes of defeating the Jordan team in an away game.
A reporter asked Gao Xiaodong what was the difference between playing in the club and playing in the club. Gao Xiaodong said that the club cooperates more tacitly and the level of teammates is higher, but the overall level of Asian teams is average, and the personal abilities of national team teammates are no better than other Asian teams. Poor player.
Then the reporter asked Gao Xiaodong, if this is the case, why the Chinese team has never been able to reach the World Cup finals except for the World Cup in Japan and South Korea.
Gao Xiaodong replied that he actually had a chance to qualify a few times, but his mental quality and luck were poor, which led to the final failure.
Finally, Gao Xiaodong told reporters that he may not be able to help the Chinese team win all the games, but the Chinese team will never give up under any circumstances. The Chinese team can lose, but it will never lose.
After the press conference, Gao Xiaodong had just returned to his room when assistant coach Fu Bo came.
"Guide Fu, sit down." Gao Xiaodong stood up in surprise and asked Fu Bo to sit on the sofa.
"You are welcome.
Fu Bo sat down and asked gently: "Xiaodong, how are you preparing for the competition? Can you adapt?" "
Gao Xiaodong didn't know whether Fu Bo came to him for business or just to check it out, so he said: "It's not bad, but the training together was too short and it was difficult to cooperate."
Fu Bo sighed: "Yes, the new coach took office too late. He has to play such an important game in less than a week. He is treating a game watched by hundreds of millions of people as child's play."
Gao Xiaodong was surprised to hear Fu Bo directly criticize the Football Association's coaching work. He and Fu Bo didn't have much of a relationship, and Fu Bo's words were a little too superficial.
Gao Xiaodong didn't know what kind of medicine Fu Bo was selling in his gourd, so he said casually: "Fortunately, the first game is against Singapore. If it were against Jordan and Iraq, it would be very difficult to win."
Fu Bo said: "It's good luck, but the biggest luck is that you are back. Otherwise it would be difficult to win, and a big victory would be impossible."
Gao Xiaodong said modestly: "I can't win the game alone."
Fu Bo said: "Yes, heroes cannot achieve great things alone, but heroes can help others become better."
Gao Xiaodong couldn't accept Fu Bo's praise, so he had to laugh awkwardly and said: "Director Fu, you deserve the award. Beating Singapore is not a hero."
Fu Bo said: "Yes, if we perform normally, we can beat Singapore without you. Our biggest challenge is this game against Jordan."
Gao Xiaodong said: "Yes, our biggest opponent in qualifying for the group is Jordan."
Fu Bo said: "Yes, although Iraq is strong, there are only two qualifying places. We can qualify as long as we win against the weaker Jordan, so I think we should also strive for victory in the away game against Jordan, rather than stability. In terms of real strength, we are no worse than Jordan, and with you, we can definitely win even in away games."
Fu Bo had the same idea as Gao Xiaodong on this point. Gao Xiaodong said: "Yes, as long as we beat Jordan at home and away, even if we lose to Iraq, qualifying will be guaranteed."
Fu Bo said: "Yes, that's what I mean, Xiaodong, coach Camacho has laid out the tactics for you, right? Is he really going to keep the tie as he said in the press conference?"
Gao Xiaodong asked back: "This is what we have arranged, to maintain peace and win, don't you know?"
Fu Bo sighed: "Camacho didn't trust us. When we were studying tactics, Director Ou and I were excluded."
Gao Xiaodong had already heard about this, but he pretended to be surprised and said: "How could this happen? Camacho has just arrived. How much does Camacho know about Chinese football? Why should I exclude you? Isn't this causing trouble for myself? "
Fu Bo said: "Who says no? We can't understand the thoughts of foreigners. It doesn't matter if Camacho excludes us, as long as we can win, but I'm worried. We have failed to qualify for the World Cup twice. This It’s been ten years, and this time the Football Association has made up its mind. It hired Camacho with a high salary, and also invited you back. If something goes wrong again, how should we explain it to the fans across the country.”
Gao Xiaodong said: "Director Fu, you should actively communicate with Coach Camacho. This is a national event. You can't just stop participating in the tactical discussion just because he doesn't let you."
Fu Bo shook his head and said: "I tried to find Camacho, but it was useless. He didn't want to listen to my advice, so I hope you can play an active role in the team and make up for Camacho's shortcomings in understanding our players and opponents." ."
Gao Xiaodong said: "Guide Fu, I am similar to Camacho, and I don't know much about our domestic players."
Fu Bo said: "It doesn't matter. I understand. I'm very familiar with these people in our team, including you. I can tell you each player's technical characteristics, strengths and weaknesses, and personality with my eyes closed. I Let me tell you carefully, and if you have a chance, talk to Coach Camacho, I believe he will still listen to what you say."
Gao Xiaodong still doesn't understand what kind of medicine Fu Bo is selling in his gourd, but it is good for the team, and Gao Xiaodong has no reason not to accept it.
Fu Bo then introduced Gao Xiaodong in detail about the 17 members of the national team going to Jordan, and also ranked the 11 main players in his mind. He told Gao Xiaodong to find an opportunity to talk to Camacho, but not to mention it. His name, lest Camacho become suspicious.
After Fu Bo left, Gao Xiaodong kept thinking about the purpose of Fu Bo's visit today, but he couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it, so he could only assume that Fu Bo was a person who did not care about personal grudges for the benefit of the country.
