The Ball at Your Feet

: 614 Preparation before the Competition

Before the World Cup, the Chinese team played two friendly matches as a warm-up.

These two games are not important games, the purpose of the game is to run the team and prepare for the big game.

In these two games, in the first game against Belgium, the Chinese team also defended well with a good defense. They only conceded one goal and lost 0-1. In the second game against Germany, it went straight. It slumped and lost 0-4.

The failure of this game caused a great uproar in the media of the Chinese team. Prior to this, the Chinese team has always been used to playing well in friendly matches. The loss of this game is still very surprising to the media. Before this, the extremely loud slogans chanted by the media had suddenly become sluggish.

The bragging of the Chinese media is also a loss to anyone at all, because with Zhao Yaning's existence, before the game, many media shouted the minimum requirement for qualifying in the group. Moreover, some people are still helping the Chinese team to analyze, saying that if the Chinese team is second in the group, the most likely to encounter is Spain. Spain is not strong in the big game, the Chinese team may beat them, and maybe they can challenge the quarter-finals. , And even some media have calculated for China how to play to get to the semi-finals, but after the warm-up match, everyone was a little surprised.

This result seems a bit too miserable.

Before the game, the Chinese team’s spirits were still very high. The current Chinese team, when it comes to playing in the five major leagues, is not less, Zhao Yaning, Qu Bo, Shao Jiayi, Zheng Zhi, Sun Xiang, Sun Jihe, Coupled with Zhou Haibo, who may go abroad, but has not yet decided, the strength of this team is still good.

In the past two years, the situation of Asian football has been relatively sluggish. In 2000, Japan played Nakata Hidetoshi. At that time, Japan can be said to have swept the strength of Asia. But after entering, they have declined. Although South Korea has always regarded itself as a world-class team, it is an indisputable fact that their strength has declined compared to 2002. In Asia, the Chinese team has become stronger, and the Chinese media feel that China can compete in the world, but only after the game is played, the strength is still far behind.

After Zhao Yaning became famous, the Football Association has also let go of players to play abroad. Now the Chinese team can be considered in terms of strength. It's just that the biggest problem with the current Chinese team is that if you play midfield pass, you must not be able to play a strong team, and play a defensive counterattack, but there is a lack of good enough guards and forwards. When you meet a weak team, you can still play with a weak midfielder and wing, but when you meet a strong team, you can't get up and down, and you can't play in a mess.

Compared to 2004, the strength of the Chinese team has actually been declining. At that time, Zheng Zhi could be placed on the back line, and the midfield line could be supported by Zhao Junzhe and Xiao Zhanbo. Now, Zheng Zhi must return to the midfield line to play as a midfielder to maintain the midfield. Online, you can only use Du Wei, which is naturally not as strong as before.

In this game, Zhao Yaning did not play very well. Zhao Yaning hadn't practiced with the national team for a long time. At this time, he played with the national team again, and he was always observing the national team's playing style. . Obviously, the current mentality of the Chinese national team is still very low. Although there is Zhao Yaning, the head coach Ali Han more often only uses Zhao Yaning as a counterattack tool, rather than swelling enough to want to play against the opponent. This is quite good news for the Chinese team.

After all, Zhao Yaning still doesn't believe that the Chinese team can compete with the strong team. Facts have proved that they really can't fight it. They can still hold on when they meet Belgium, but when they meet the serious German team, the Chinese team is defeated by people.

But this is also good, at least, let the media recognize the strength of the team. After these two games were played, although the Chinese team did not win, they at least allowed the defensive line to run in. Moreover, after losing the two games, everyone's minds were corrected a lot. It was a simple defensive counterattack. , It's good to be able to play well.

"I promise every game I will try my best to play football, but as far as I can go, it is resigned." When interviewed by the domestic media, Zhao Yaning said his views, "What about winning the championship, the semi-finals, then I’m talking nonsense. It’s definitely not credible. If I say it low, you are not happy. So, I can only say that-let my fate. It’s not easy to be able to stand on this stage. I’m here. I would also like to express my gratitude to the fans who have always supported me. We will give you a satisfactory answer at the World Cup to repay your support."

After talking to them and returning to the team, Zhao Yaning also changed his attitude.

"Let’s just admit it honestly, our level, striving to qualify for the group is the most remarkable thing. If it’s superfluous, let’s not even think about it. Playing with a strong team is enough to increase your knowledge. Don’t be true. I think we just have to get some honor.” In private, in the locker room, Zhao Yaning rarely said soft words to his teammates, “Don’t listen to the media boasting, the semi-finals and eight-finals are unrealistic. Let’s I can get the team to qualify, and even if the task is completed, I, as the captain, must thank you."

His attitude has made a group of teammates flattered, and they have not been scolded less in the past two years, making them quite scared of Zhao Yaning. Now Zhao Yaning's attitude has suddenly improved, which surprised them. However, Zhao Yaning himself is very clear about his own thoughts: in the past two years, it is difficult for them to make progress without whipping them. But now, the time has come, and they can't go any further. What they have to do is to help them adjust their mentality. I am the captain, and what the captain should do is to help the team play its best strength?

In fact, Zhao Yaning still hopes to get better results. At least, he is ready to take a good fight at the World Cup. However, these words, he is not prepared to say to his teammates. There is no need to add psychological pressure to them for no reason. If it is too high, they must be afraid that they will not be able to complete the task. In the end, it is not good to play the ball. In fact, it is easier to talk about the team qualifying? In the history of the World Cup, if you do not count the ‘amazing’ performances of South Korea and Japan as the hosts in 2002, the Asian teams have only qualified twice, Saudi Arabia once and North Korea once. Among them, North Korea still had to go back to the World Cup in England, when only 16 teams participated. The overall backwardness of Asian football is an indisputable fact, which even Superman cannot change.

Zhao Yaning himself knows very well that not to mention victory in the knockout rounds, even qualifying is difficult, and basically, it is difficult to go further after qualifying. If the group qualify, the first opponent the Chinese team will encounter is likely to be the Spanish team. Although the Spanish team has always been ridiculed as the king of the group stage and the qualifiers, Zhao Yaning knows enough members of the Spanish national team. He is very clear about the strength of the Spanish national team. If it is against the Spanish national team, the Chinese team will be ten. If you have a **, you are sure to lose—even this ten ** is his optimistic estimate.

The Chinese team is still too weak after all. Although Zhao Yaning's limelight is now in full swing, Zhao Yaning knows that no matter how strong a person's limelight is, it will be difficult to lead a team against the sky. It is said that Argentina relied on Maradona to win the championship alone, but even without Maradona, at least Argentina is not worried about the problem of qualifying in the group, and can even challenge the semi-finals. The foundation of the Chinese team is too thin, and want to rise is not a matter of overnight.

However, as long as you work hard, you can gain something. Zhao Yaning is now able to make a lot of contributions to Chinese football by relying on his reputation. It is much easier for players to go abroad, and the domestic football market is becoming more and more popular every year. Football has the soil for survival and naturally it can develop.

Zhao Yaning believes that one day, Chinese football will be strong. Weak teams, more often, need encouragement or criticism, not flattery or ridicule. With the right attitude, football can always develop——

"Sometimes, looking at my own attributes, I really feel that the system helps me become smaller day by day. Of course, it doesn’t mean it’s useless. This time it can improve the burst, speed, bounce, and header. I'm still relying on the ability of the cards to come up. It's just that I haven't practiced very much in my header ~www.ltnovel.com~ and I have to continue to practice in the future."

"That's because you get stronger every day."

"Yes, and this time, I still have such an excellent card. Before entering the final with all attributes 3, I can play better than anyone else." Zhao Yaning smiled bitterly, "But why am I still not emboldened? "

"Because this is a national team game, your teammates are too weak, and you naturally have no confidence. Football matches cannot be completed by one person. No matter how strong a person is, he may be blocked by his opponents. Therefore, you will feel unsure. Emboldened."

Zhao Yaning didn't speak, but listened to Raul in the system and they said to themselves.

"Anyway, give it a try."

"Actually, no matter how you try, the result will be the same... Among the 2006 World Cup teams, the gap between strong teams and weak teams is really..."

"Don't tell me, okay?" Zhao Yaning shook his head, "I don't want to know. I just want to try. I know that the championship has nothing to do with me, but, at least, let me see, I can do it. Which step."
