After time travel, I can only beat up the national football team

Chapter 222 This golden light makes you panic and so do I!

Before the official competition, the Macau team's daily training intensity was set relatively low.

Naturally, there is no need to sharpen your skills before the battle at this time. Instead, you can do moderate training combined with physical therapy. The most important thing is to get a good rest at night, ensure a scientific and reasonable diet, and maintain your physical condition to the greatest extent possible. These operations will be more effective in improving combat effectiveness.

In addition, the Macau team also attaches great importance to studying its opponents, its own psychological construction, and tactical drills.

This is also one of the advantages of the Macau team. They have a complete intelligence and analysis department. The increasingly professional coaching staff will formulate targeted tactics based on this intelligence, and then explain and arrange them to the players.

Before this trip, they also specially formed a team of psychologists to help the players psychologically reduce stress.

This is very important. In a meaningful competition like the World Cup, many players will be directly overwhelmed by the huge pressure after taking the field, or they will be too nervous and excited to the point of weakness.

The Macau team happens to be the team with the lowest average age in this World Cup. If you don't pay attention to the psychological aspect, it's really hard to say how much strength it can display in the game.

At this time, CS competitions were already very popular all over the world. The so-called talented teenagers were all very lively during the online competition, but when they went offline, many of them would have shaking hands and completely lose their former spirituality due to nervousness.

This kind of thing is no different on the football field. If the opposing players are verbally provocative during the game, say some heart-wrenching trash talk to mess with your mentality, or even use small actions to mess with you...

The people who were still unaffected at that time can only be said to be rare.

Chinese fans are naturally dismissive of this. In recent years, the Japanese team has been ridiculed by the Macau team, but they actually have the nerve to say something that represents East Asian football?
However, the strength of the two teams was evenly matched. Even though the final score was 3:1, the Japanese team was even in the lead. However, they did not expect that within 9 minutes of the second half, Australia scored three consecutive goals to reverse the game.

Zhang Desheng is responsible for repeatedly explaining and summarizing to his teammates. These are the keys to victory that they must achieve!

"In the frontcourt, the center must actively retreat to respond, and the ball must be released as quickly as possible without sticking to the ball! The forward must actively move, not take the ball, and use running positions to compress Tunisia's vertical defensive space, while also expanding it as much as possible. Their lateral defensive space.”

Therefore, even the tactics class of the Macau team is completely different from other teams. The guys can really sit down and actively discuss and improve.

"Backcourt, I feel reassured by your defense, but this time I need you to be more active on the offensive end. You must dare to take the ball and organize in the backcourt. You must not be timid. You must boldly respond and pass the ball forward. , play more confidently!”

These are the tactics for the first game formulated by the coaching staff after research. They are responsible for designing supporting tactics for these key points, and then identifying problems in execution through extensive discussions and drills.

But the problem is that these Western media are not taking the opportunity to mock Japan and South Korea, but are trapping the entire Asian football in it.

Iran was the first Asian team to appear. They lost to Mexico 11:1 in their first game on the afternoon of the 3th.

After the World Cup, this group of people really shit their pants every time, and they can compete with the first team 50-50.

"In the first game, we must play with confidence, don't be afraid of conceding the ball, don't be afraid of taking responsibility, take risks when it's time to take risks, make decisions when it's time to make decisions, and when you really have no idea, just throw the ball towards me. Kick on the head, kick on Li Xiaobo's head, kick in front of Liu, we must kick with momentum!"

This game made West Asian football very disappointed, but not because of the result, but because the gap in the process was obvious. The Iranian team basically had no chance and was always beaten!
The quasi-Asian civil war between Japan and Australia took place on the night of the 12th.

"The two full-backs also have a heavy task. You need to actively participate in the attack and make bold moves, but remember that you can only rush forward one at a time!"

Zhang Desheng, the leader, is like a class monitor in school. From time to time, he will cooperate with the coaches to ask his teammates some key questions and help his coaches to further improve the details of tactical execution.

Such days are actually quite fulfilling, so time flies by.

Take Spain for example. Their intelligence gathering, especially the coaching staff's tactical formulation, is definitely better than the Macau team.

In addition, the various factions within the Spanish team have always been on the same side, with all kinds of intrigues and even holding each other back. There have always been endless incidents.

But in terms of the assessment of system combat power, Saudi Arabia is actually not that good.

But there is something embarrassing for the Chinese media, especially Chinese fans.

"..."

Mr. Zhang is not surprised by this. Once there is no whistle in Saudi football, it is easy to pull the crotch even in Asia.

The factional composition within the Spanish team is even more complicated, because there are many political elements in it. This is probably one of the reasons why they have not even played in the World Cup finals.

This is also a collective problem for many European and South American teams. The factional struggles within many of their teams are more complicated and fierce than those of the national football team!
This also leads to many times, they obviously have a bunch of coveted stars, but these people just can't perform well in the game.

This is obviously another problem caused by the lack of calcium in the forward line. The Japanese team has always had an advantage in the midfield competition, and there is no big problem in defense most of the time.

During this period of waiting, they did not pay attention to teams from other regions. At most, they took a few glances at Asian teams during their busy schedule.

"In the midfield, we should try to reduce the time of personal possession of the ball and speed up the rhythm of the ball, but at the same time we should increase the time of the team's possession of the ball!"

So at the end of the discussion, the Japanese naturally looked at Mr. Zhang with great admiration, even to the point of licking their knees!
The third Asian team, Saudi Arabia, played its first game on the 13th. They faced the West African team Togo, which was a strong opponent in the World Cup qualifiers.

They spend two hours every day in tactical discussion classes, and Mr. Zhang takes the lead and listens carefully with a notebook.

As for factions and internal strife, this is out of the question. Besides, the real Macau aborigines have long since left the list. Now they are all Chinese from all over the world, and they all revolve around the leader Mr. Zhang.

Then, Saudi Arabia continued its consistent performance in the World Cup. Not only did it fail to defeat Togo like a stick in its original position, but it was directly overwhelmed by Porto center Adebayor.

"Bah, are you the only one worthy of being the representative of East Asian football?"

But the question is, will those uncles listen carefully?
Raul is an example. He broke up with head coach Aragones as soon as he came on, and the locker room went straight to the mentality of newcomers in the same position.

what is this?
Should Asia shoulder the responsibility for the scandals committed by Japan and South Korea?
This kind of practice of Japan and South Korea taking the lead in good things and shouldering the bad things together has naturally aroused great dissatisfaction from the Asian media except them!

But looking back at the Macau players, Mr. Zhang is their backbone from top to bottom!

The Japanese themselves could find the reason for the loss. The only goal they scored in the game was Shunsuke Nakamura's free kick.

But the artillery shells they sent forward were wasted by their own Sima forwards, and eventually even the rear line of defense was detonated.

So they are really similar to the Chinese first team, they are typical competition soft-footed shrimps!
After Saudi Arabia suffered a disastrous defeat to Togo, all Asian teams except Macau showed up, and the result was a very embarrassing three-game losing streak!
This made many Western media take the opportunity to get angry. Naturally, they used the results of the Japanese and Korean teams in the last World Cup to make an argument.

So a genius who can handle real big scenes without stage fright is a real genius!
The detailed pre-game preparations made by the Macau team are as good as those of strong teams in developed regions, but in terms of execution, no team can match Macau.

"The task of our two full-backs is to break through the two ribs desperately. Once the full-backs are inserted into the side, they must immediately cut in or open up depending on the situation, so as to expand the offensive space as much as possible. ”

But the result also made Japanese fans wail, because this contest, which was promoted by the Japanese media as "East Asian football and Oceania football", ended with Australia winning 3:1.

The final disparity of 4:1 made Saudi Arabia once again the shame of Asia in the World Cup!
“Saudi, it’s worthy of you!”

That is, despite the fact that all three teams lost, even the Saudi team, which suffered a disastrous defeat, scored a goal!
Therefore, many dissatisfied Asian media turned to target Chinese football for some unknown reason.

Then, he mocked Rabbit for finally going to the World Cup, but the result was almost like he didn't go.

This...it's really hard for Chinese fans to talk back!
Even if they want to retaliate with Macau, but regardless of the fact that Macau has not yet officially debuted, at this time, you can imagine that these Asian media will deliberately downplay or even separate the word "China" in front of the Macau team.

Naturally, the thoughts of the "Macau China Team" have already been focused on their opponents two days later.

Although Tunisia is an African team, the country's skin color is not all black, especially the proportion of pure Nicos in the team is not high.

Most of the starting players of this African champion play in the European leagues, and there are even a few main players who play for top teams.

Although Tunisia does not have a wealthy core like Zhang Gongzi in the team, nor does it have a truly top star, but if his strongest point is eliminated, it will still have some advantages in the quantity and quality of players in Europe.

The most important thing is that Tunisian players are not like Macau players who have only been in Europe for one or two years. Most of them have played in Europe for many years. They are richer in experience, more mature in technology, and definitely better in psychological quality. They have also seen more big scenes than they have.

This means that the Macau team will have a chance of encountering the same problem as Saudi Arabia. Their theoretical starting strength is actually slightly better than Tunisia.

But the question is, can their level of performance be fully demonstrated in games?
Mr. Zhang also knows that this problem is impossible. There are only a handful of people with real big hearts.

It would be good for the Macau players not to lose their strength due to the huge pressure and excessive tension in this game.

Then there is the coaching duel. Although Liao Qimin is the most suitable coach for Macau, Tunisia's French coach Le Maire is a famous coach who has won the European Cup.

After Le Maire led France to win the European Cup in 00 and two consecutive Confederations Cups, he turned around and led Tunisia to win the African Cup of Nations in 04.

This French coach can be said to be the veritable number one coach in the national team field from the millennium to this year. Milu is not worthy enough to even lift someone's shoes in terms of honor.

Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, Tunisian football is at its best at this time. It is led by the world's number one coach in the national team and a group of victorious teams who have experienced hundreds of battles.

The average age of the Macau team is just over 21. How big of a splash can it make even with Mr. Zhang leading it?
This question will soon be answered on the court.

On June 6, the first match of Group H, where the Macau team is located, finally officially started.

But it is not the Macau team that is playing today, but Spain, which has been suffering from bad luck, and Ukraine, led by Shevchenko.

Ukraine's team is also not favored by the outside world. Most Western media believe that Ukraine's strength is inferior to Tunisia and not even better than the Macau team.

Whether they can qualify depends on how many points they can score in front of Spain and Tunisia, and whether they can defeat the weakest Macau to get the crucial three points.

But it’s not just about looking down on the Ukrainians. The outside world is not very optimistic about the teams in this group, including the nominal first-tier team Spain. This is because Spain has not been able to solve the problem of the team's poor offensive power. They entered the World Cup in a bumpy way, and finally passed the play-offs.

Now the two core players have been injured one after another before the game, which makes everyone even less optimistic about them and feels that they will not be able to get far even if they qualify from the group.

Therefore, the outside media believe that the qualifying situation of Group H mainly depends on how many points the top three teams can get from each other, and who can get all three points from the Macau team, especially the three points from the Macau team. The competition between the three companies is very crucial!
In other words, if anyone fails to score all three points against the Macau team, then they are basically GG.

As for the Macau team itself, the Western media don’t know if they really think they are weak and have no chance of qualifying, or if they simply want them to be unable to qualify?

Anyway, Zhang Desheng is very dismissive of the Western media's unanimous opinion of underestimating the Macau team!
After all, when these bastards reported on the wars in their original plane, they just kept their eyes open and talked nonsense.

So when they reported on the qualifying situation of Group H, even if the Macau team was capable, they would be deliberately ignored!
This is not because they lack professional standards, but because the Macau team was eliminated in the group stage, or the Macau team is very weak. This is the sincere wish of the entire Western media.

Just like the collapse of the rabbit, the West knows that it is unreliable, but it has to use it to blow itself to sleep in order to survive!
"Everyone, be careful. The penalties we face in the World Cup may not be fair, so be mentally prepared for this!"

After Zhang Desheng and the team saw Spain's 4-0 victory over Ukraine, he promptly gave the team another shot of vaccination.

"Boss, our Chinese football team has always been targeted outside, and we know this well!"

Shen Yi actually wanted to remind everyone about this, but he didn't expect to be preempted.

"Made, it's one thing to know something, but the question is to what extent will they target us? I'm so damn afraid that I can't help it!"

Li Xiaobo felt unhappy when he thought about this, but if his ancestors of nearly two hundred years failed to live up to expectations, then future generations would have to bear the price.

"I'm also thinking about tomorrow's defensive standards. If we are really targeted, how should we control the standards of our movements at that time?"

Tu Guangtai was also a little worried about this. He was worried that if he defended too tightly, he would get cards, but if he defended too cowardly, the opponent's skills and speed would not be restricted.

"Old Niu, you can't start this game, don't complain!"

Zhang Desheng did not answer immediately, but said something to Niu Zhanshan.

"Boss, I'm not someone who doesn't understand the overall situation. Tunisia's frontcourt is all over 1.7 meters tall. It's really difficult for me to deal with them!"

Niu Zhanshan was naturally a little disappointed. It was decided a week ago that he would be chosen as the starter for the first game.

But he really doesn't have any negative emotions, because Tunisia's forward group is basically small men with fast speed and quite delicate skills. Although he is not clumsy among high defenders, he is still too slow against such forwards.

"Their midfielder's impact is not strong, but those forwards are really difficult to deal with. We still give priority to controlling the scale and not taking any cards. Tomorrow our strategic goal is not to limit their goals, but to ensure that we ourselves must Score more goals.”

Zhang Desheng has never felt that their current defense will make it difficult for teams in the World Cup to score goals, so even though they will still focus on defensive counterattacks in the future, the purpose is how to complete the counterattack.

This can be regarded as an answer to everyone's struggles with defensive actions - they will not pay too much for fouls in a game, even if it makes it easier for the opponent to score.

This is because the Macau team's bench depth is far inferior to that of the first and second tier teams, including most of the third tier teams, which are also stronger than them in terms of bench depth.

Therefore, they must prioritize ensuring that the main lineup cannot be suspended on a large scale. Even if they pay some strength on defense, they must make this choice.

# # # # # #
The next day, the Macau team took the bus in the afternoon and collectively attended the pre-match press conference.

Today their game against Tunisia is scheduled to be played in the evening, at five o'clock in the afternoon local time to be precise!
So at 2:30 in the afternoon, the Macau team arrived at the pre-match press conference at the right time.

But at this time, there was some not-so-good news. Yesterday, many players suffered from insomnia because they were too excited or nervous.

So the game hasn't even started yet, and the combat effectiveness of some players has already dropped by one or two points.

But this kind of thing is inevitable. Their starting lineup is too young, and they are about to participate in the World Cup, which is extremely important to Chinese football.

There are too many elements here that will make everyone feel nervous and stressed.

At this time, reporters from Asia, and even many European and American reporters, had already packed the press conference.

This kind of scene has not been seen in the Asian teams that have appeared before. Even at the Japanese team's pre-match press conference, 80% of them were Japanese media. There were not even many Asian counterparts, let alone European and American news media.

However, the attention and influence of the Macau team are obviously much higher. Who let them have Mr. Zhang who has already broken through the circle.

"This is our first time participating in the World Cup. We all have little experience, but we will try our best to perform better!"

Mr. Zhang was very low-key in his speech before the game. Even though many of the media's questions had some weird elements, he pretended not to hear them and did not respond!

This was in order not to put additional pressure on his teammates, so he tried his best to dress up in his first World Cup appearance without any smell of gunpowder!

Besides, he is not in the mood to pretend to be a quarrel in front of the media right now. If he has this intention, he should save it for a fierce fight with Tunisia!

An hour later, in the locker room of the Macau team...

"Rhythm! We must control the rhythm on the court! You can actively hold the ball, but don't shoot easily; you can take the initiative to attack, but don't shoot easily; you can pass the ball quickly and boldly, but don't make long passes easily; no Wrong, if we want to control the rhythm, we must first control the ball, so the goal is to compete for more than 60% of the ball possession rate, and then use continuous offense, continuous passing, and continuous breakthroughs to constantly wear down their patience. , constantly stimulating their rationality, making them unable to find a comfortable attacking rhythm! "

Before the game, Liao Qimin once again emphasized the key points of tonight's tactics.

Their playing style is actually very confident, but also very risky!
These are the African champions. Can they really control the rhythm and control the ball?

But no matter how difficult it is, no matter how high the challenge is, they must try, otherwise there will be no need to set up any more tasks for the group to qualify.

Zhang Desheng didn't give any more pre-war speeches today, because he had already said what needed to be said in the past half month, and all he had to do next was to do it!
"Macau, China, it's time to play. Please go to the player tunnel within ten minutes!"

At 4:10 pm, Liao Qimin had finished his last instructions before the war, and the players of the Macau team were already sorting out their equipment and preparing to wait for the admission notice.

At this time, there was a notification sound that made many people's heartbeats suddenly accelerate. To their ears, it was like a "clang" exploding from outside the door.

For a moment, many of the starting players of the Macau team even had the illusion of walking into the examination room before the "high school entrance examination (don't ask why it is the high school entrance examination)", preparing stationery and waiting nervously, when they suddenly heard the bell ringing that the exam was about to begin.

In short, their hearts suddenly became pounding, and for a while they could only hear the sound of their own heartbeats, and their faces turned red instantly.

"Brothers, African football has risen ahead of Asia, and Japan and South Korea have also taken the limelight in the World Cup ahead of us... But as the saying goes, it's never too late to eat well! The whole world will soon see that Chinese football is also going to We are on the world stage, and we are the orthodox representatives of Chinese football going out into the world... Don't think about it anymore, let us use our first goal, our first victory to declare to the world - Chinese football, we Damn it’s coming!”

"rush!"

"on!"

"Rise up!"

"Kill them!"

"..."

When Mr. Zhang saw the virtue of his teammates, of course he couldn't really say nothing.

So when he heard the staff announcing the entrance, he called all the Macau players to form a circle. After the brief pre-war encouragement was over, everyone let out a few venting shouts.

Afterwards, a group of people, led by Mr. Zhang who was striding forward, filed out of the locker room with their heads held high, ready to truly amaze the world.

#####
At 4:30 in the afternoon, the two sides who were about to fight in half an hour appeared on time in the barrier-free player channel of the Allianz Arena.

The most excited people at this moment were not the players of the two teams who could hear the other team talking, but CCTV, the only Chinese TV station that had the right to follow the team.

They were following the Macau team, recording the familiar yet unfamiliar scene in front of them throughout the process.

Macau's TV stations naturally criticized this, but they couldn't protest!

In this World Cup, in addition to the host country having the right to send a camera team to follow the participating teams, each team's national television station can also send a two-person team to follow their team in each game.

Logically speaking, the Macau team should be tracked and filmed by Macau TV, but the Macau Football Association was very sensible and took the decision without authorization and directly gave this right to CCTV.

Therefore, domestic fans in front of the TV at this moment can watch the live broadcast from such a close first-person perspective. They can even hear the exchanges between Macau players, see the micro-expressions on the players' faces, and even acne. This is comparable to the previous one. The sense of presence in the World Cup was so strong.

At this time, the Macau players in the player tunnel were very curious about the Tunisian players, but the Tunisian players were not curious about them.

So when the two sides looked at each other, they not only gave each other friendly looks, but several Tunisian players also took the initiative to say hello to them using the simplest Chinese word "伱好".

Naturally, the Macau players also greeted each other in English they could understand, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while!

Soon, the players from both sides were notified and finally officially entered this famous five-star home court!
After Zhang Desheng led the caddy into the Allianz Arena as the last one, he raised his head and looked at the east, north and south stands. At this time, these three stands had already been filled with tens of thousands of Chinese fans and turned into a golden sea. .

But in the eyes of these Chinese fans, the golden team off the field, which is stepping into the World Cup with their heads held high, seems to exude a proud light.

The golden jerseys on their bodies are like a brilliant golden light in the darkness reaching the other side. It not only symbolizes the rebirth and hope of Chinese football, but also represents that a new football era is about to begin!
