Chapter 468 I Really Think We Have Hope (Two in One)
After entering the base, Yang Mo found that he had not escaped the eyes of the media.
Although Lippi claimed that the training was closed, and the Xianghe base did not allow any outsiders to enter, as the official media, Yang Ma still sent a recording team to follow up and shoot.
The significance of the crucial battle of getting tickets to the World Cup finals has gone far beyond football itself, and it represents the honor of the country.
Therefore, Yang Ma, as the official mouthpiece, must record this historic process.
But the camera is always facing Yang Mo, which makes him a little uncomfortable.
In the training of the national team this morning, Lippi did not arrange a training match, but only carried out some basic physical fitness and adaptive training.
After all, in the national team, Yang Mo is not the only one who is studying abroad alone, Wu Lei is in Twente, Zhang Xizhe is in Wolfsburg, and Zhang Linfan is in Lazio.
Among these people, Wu Lei is already Twente's main striker, ranking fourth in the Eredivisie scorer list this season. Zhang Xizhe and Zhang Linfan are both main rotation players who can often enter the squad. Everyone is not easy in the league. .
So after returning to China, you must first adapt, otherwise the jet lag alone will be enough to cause headaches for several people.
After the training in the morning, Yang Mo and his teammates walked towards the cafeteria while asking about the recent situation of several overseas players.
"Captain, I'm pretty good in Twente. I feel that I'm improving every day..." Wu Lei smiled innocently.
Among the people who are studying abroad in the national team, apart from Yang Mo, Wu Lei is the best at the moment.
Although this kid's talent is not the highest, but he has a pure mind and focuses on football, so he has made the fastest progress.
Now among domestic fans, Wu Lei is already the most popular player besides Yang Mo, and many TV stations choose to broadcast the Twente game.
Yang Mo learned through Mondial Sports Management Company that because of Wu Lei's performance, both Ajax and PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie are very interested in Wu Lei.
But Twente also knows Wu Lei's importance, so he doesn't want to let him go, and has recently started talking about contract renewal.
As long as Wu Lei can continue to maintain this state, it is estimated that it is not impossible to get out of the Eredivisie.
But different from Yang Mo, Wu Lei is a person who values friendship, and has always expressed his hope that he can help Twente win a championship before leaving, in order to repay his kindness.
"You are already fourth in the scorer list. If you improve even more, do you still want the captain to win the Eredivisie Golden Boot?" Zhang Xizhe, who was studying abroad in Wolfsburg, joked.
Compared with Yang Mo, who is far away in the British Peninsula, the distance between the two is not too far, and sometimes they will get together when they are free, and they have a good relationship.
"It doesn't matter if you have the Golden Boot or not. My goal now is to help the team get a place in the Europa League. But Zhang Xizhe, your new coach is called Black Gold. Doesn't he value you a lot? He has started a few games recently. Yes, tsk tsk..."
Wu Lei had an expression like you don't pretend.
Zhang Xizhe hurriedly waved his hands and said, "What starter, don't talk nonsense, brother Zhang was the first starter in Lazio recently..."
"I said, why did you two suddenly get involved in me? I'll just be a substitute, so don't talk nonsense."
The brother Zhang that Zhang Xizhe was talking about was naturally Zhang Linfan in Lazio.
However, although Zhang Linfan's mouth was modest, he couldn't hide the joy and complacency on his face.
Zhang Linfan, who didn't work hard in China, was really shocked by the level of Europe's top professional leagues after he arrived in Serie A. He changed his previous laziness and arrogance in China.
So after a lot of hard work this season, it can be regarded as relying on stable performance, which has won the trust of Lazio coach Vladimir Petkovic, and has recently had the opportunity to start.
"Okay, don't talk about the three of you, you will be embarrassed when you go out of the country..."
The three of them flattered each other, which made Zhou Haibin next to him feel sore, and couldn't help shouting.
Hearing this, the three of them, including Yang Mo, couldn't help laughing.
In fact, through Yang Mo's relationship, Mondial Sports Management Company, which is a local leader in France, also gave Zhou Haibin the opportunity to study abroad in France, the Ligue [-] team Lille.
But helplessly, due to the missed time, this season is too late, and we can only wait for the next season.
Therefore, everyone's resentment towards Zhou Haibin is also understandable.
While the other national team independent houses around listened to their words, many people who had the idea of going abroad looked envious, wondering if they should also use Yang Mo's relationship to find an opportunity to go out and practice.
Even if you can't gain a foothold in Europe, you can improve your level and gain more knowledge, and you can get a higher salary when you come back with gold plating, right?
Although Yang Mo, who has already started eating here, doesn't know what these teammates think, but even if he knows, he will raise his hands in agreement.
Just like what these people think, even if you can't get a foothold when you go out, it's okay to see what a high-level league is. It's like sitting in a bad place like the Chinese Super League all day long, thinking that you are really good.
The first day of training was uneventful, except for Yang Mo's interview with Yang Mo in the evening, the Xianghe training base, which was at the center of the public opinion storm, was not as lively as outside.
With Yang Mo's return to the team and the official start of the national team's training camp, the media's enthusiasm for the world preliminaries has become even crazier.
A well-known self-media person on Weibo, in order to obtain images of the closed training of the national team, flew a drone directly over the training ground of the Xianghe Base on the 19th, and took pictures of Yang Mo and his teammates having a training match.
Although the drone was confiscated at that time and the self-media people were punished, this news was still on the hot search of the day.
Countless "bricksmen" began to analyze the possible lineups and tactics of the national team based on the captured images.
The entire network is simply extremely lively.
It can be seen from this that before the start of the national team's World Cup qualifying battle, the public is curious about the national team.
Under such circumstances, Ti always felt that it was not an option to hold back all the time, so he gave an order to the national team to hold a proper swearing-in meeting, so that the outside world can see the appearance of the national team and convey the message of victory. Confidence?
The order from above is irresistible to the national team and the Football Association.
It's just that Yang Mo was a little baffled by this swearing-in meeting.
It's just a preliminaries, and it's not really about to go to the World Cup. It would be embarrassing to lose at that time, and it conveys the confidence of winning. Isn't this adding pressure to the players out of thin air?
Moreover, the national team doesn't have much time for training. If you waste time doing this, you can't do the training.
Speaking of the bad reputation of the national team in the past, the often unreliable practices of the leadership accounted for at least a small half.
As for the other half, they belonged to the unrealistic media that boasted wildly all day long.
So when the general manager issued the order, Yang Mo was the first to feel that it was inappropriate, and then implicitly expressed his disapproval.
But Yang Mo didn't say anything dead, he gave a suggestion, it's not that the swearing-in meeting can't be held, but it won't be too late to wait until it really wins.
At that time, the training time will not be delayed, the players will not feel burdened, and the fans will be happy.
The higher-ups seemed to realize that what Yang Mo said made sense, so they didn't force it. Finally, the national team didn't need to hold a swearing-in meeting during the precious training time.
In the tense training, the time came to the 24th, and the national team received a notice from the Bird's Nest, saying that they were asked to adapt to the stadium.
On the departure bus, Yang Mo asked the leader Li Xiaoguang strangely, "It's not like I haven't kicked the Bird's Nest before, how can I get used to it?"
Li Xiaoguang said in a low voice: "Some time ago, the Bird's Nest was rented out for several concerts. The original turf was completely destroyed, and now it is newly laid."
Yang Mo suddenly realized: "It turned out to be like this, and that's a good thing."
A stadium as big as the Bird's Nest cannot be used only as the home stadium of the national team, and it also needs to make money for maintenance, so it will be rented out for activities when there are no games.
But when Yang Mo and the national team arrived at the parking lot of the Bird's Nest, they unexpectedly discovered that the players of the Japanese team had also arrived here, but they didn't arrive, they just came out of it and were about to board the bus.
"It seems that international friends are the priority..."
This guy Zhou Haibin looked at the Japanese with a very bad look and teased him.
"Brother Zhou, be bold, we are the masters..."
Yang Mo patted Zhou Haibin on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the parking lot.
Hearing Yang Mo's words, Zhou Haibin spat at the bus carrying the Japanese players away, "Little Japan, let's see how I deal with you the day after tomorrow..."
There is no way, as a northeast man born in Liaoning, Zhou Haibin is so pissed, and has never had a good impression of the Japanese.
Adapting to the field is not about actual combat on the lawn, but getting familiar with the texture of the lawn so that you can prepare for the game the day after tomorrow.
But when Yang Mo was familiar with him, Li Xiaoguang found Yang Mo quietly, and took Yang Mo to the corner of the court with a mysterious expression on his face.
Yang Mo said a little strangely: "Leader Li, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. You thought we were doing some underground work while hiding."
"Director Yang, do you think I should ask the stadium staff to sprinkle more water, and then let our players get acquainted with it."
As soon as Li Xiaoguang said this, Yang Mo instantly understood the intention of the other party.
As we all know, if the lawn on the court is too slippery, the player's ball control stability and feeling of touching the ball will deteriorate, and it is relatively difficult to control the change of direction, waving and releasing the ball.
Moreover, the ball itself will absorb water, which makes it difficult to accurately grasp the strength of whether it is a short pass, a long pass or a straight pass. This problem is more obvious in long passes and set balls.
Therefore, the slippery field is very unfriendly to those teams with good skills and good pass control.
The Japanese team is such a technical team.
After the Japanese team has just adapted to the lawn with normal humidity, if the stadium staff suddenly increase the amount of watering on the day of the game, the Japanese team will definitely be very uncomfortable, and the on-the-spot combat effectiveness will definitely decrease.
On the contrary, the national team, which relies on Yang Mo to fight back, has rough skills, goes straight, and has low demand for ball possession and passing.
Coupled with being able to adapt in advance, you will definitely be able to perform better when the time comes.
This kind of off-the-box tricks is actually very common in Europe. Yang Mo encountered a lot when he was playing at Bayern before, and he restrained himself after arriving in the UK.
It's not that the Premier League teams are all gentlemen, they are civilized and polite, and they don't bother to play outside the game.
But in the Premier League games, you don’t need to sprinkle more water on purpose at all. God, you can turn your face faster than you can turn a book. The frequent rainy days have allowed the Premier League teams to hone their talents for rain games.
So compared to the heavy rain, more watering is nothing at all.
But everyone is doing it, should the Chinese team do it?
Yang Mo instinctively refused. As a Chinese, although he didn't like the Japanese team, he didn't bother to use this crooked way to win.
Besides, even if you win the game in this way, it will inevitably taint the victory from time to time.
The Chinese team is not the South Korean team. It is impossible to pretend that nothing happened. It is a game that is sure to win, so why use such means.
When I went to Japan to compete, the Japanese team didn't make any out-of-the-box tricks. On the contrary, the Chinese team received them very warmly.
Even if we have an enmity with Japan, it is still a competition in the arena, we win honor and lose respect.
As a man and a professional player, Yang Mo's heart and professional ethics do not allow him to do so.
"Leader Li, I don't need it anymore. I think the humidity in the stadium is pretty good now."
After making a decision, Yang Mo pretended not to understand what Li Xiaoguang meant.
Li Xiaoguang was a little anxious when he heard the words, fearing that Yang Mo didn't understand what he meant, he opened his mouth to explain, but was interrupted by Yang Mo raising his hand.
"Leader Li, your task is to help our national team solve the off-court affairs, and don't get involved in the on-court affairs."
Speaking of this, Yang Mo smiled slightly: "Don't worry, we can win this game."
Looking at the back of Yang Mo leaving, Li Xiaoguang sighed, his face full of regret.
He knew that Yang Mo understood what he said.
After adapting to the field, when the time came to the last day of training on the 25th, Lippi did not arrange too many training tasks for the national team players, but called everyone to watch the Japanese team's previous game video.
He hopes that the players of the national team can have a deeper understanding of the characteristics of the Japanese team before the start of the game, so that they can fight more targetedly in tomorrow's game.
When the study was over, Lippi announced his disbandment.
The current national team just waits for the game to start tomorrow.
But when Yang Mo was walking back to the players' dormitory, he saw Sun Jihai walking over.
"Brother Sun, what's the matter?"
For Sun Jihai, a senior, Yang Mo respected him very much.
However, although Sun Jihai is a senior, he is not a person with low EQ, relying on the old to sell the old.
He understood the gap between himself and Yang Mo, so although Yang Mo called him Brother Sun, Sun Jihai, like other teammates, collectively called Yang Mo the captain.
"Captain, we should be able to win tomorrow." Sun Jihai's tone was inexplicably unconfident.
Yang Mo said with a smile: "Brother Sun, we won away games in Japan before, and now it will be no problem to go back to China. Why is Brother Sun suddenly not confident?"
"The most regrettable thing in my life is that I got injured and got off the field in the 02 World Cup. This time, I just want to go to the World Cup to play twice."
Speaking of this with emotion, Sun Jihai looked at Yang Mo seriously.
"Captain, although those old brothers from back then are not in the national team now, but now with you, I really think we have hope..."
Thanks to Zhu Kui for the 300-point reward support, thanks to Tianjiao~Zifeng for the 500-point reward support, and thanks to o Mai Quaga for the 500-point reward support.
I'm too busy at work today, it's almost nine o'clock when I get home, and I don't have time to finish writing in a hurry.
