The green devil

Chapter 256 The First Argument

After training, the Hua Guo team returned to the hotel to rest.

Just as Zhao Yang returned to his room, the team leader Li Yu and Li Gang came in.

Zhao Yang asked the two team leaders to sit down and pour water for them.

Li Gang stopped Zhao Yang, went to pour water by himself, and said: "It's been a hard day, don't be polite, you can take a break. I'll come."

Li Gang poured three glasses of water, sat down on the sofa with Li Yu, and spoke first: "Xiao Zhao, I'm going to fight Qatar tomorrow, how do you feel? Are you nervous?"

Li Yu said: "This is a life-and-death battle, it's normal to be nervous."

Zhao Yang said: "A little bit, it's not too big, it's more about excitement."

Li Gang sighed: "That's good, our players are most afraid of such games. Many times the opponent's strength is not as good as ours, but we lose the game in a daze."

Li Yu said: "It is said that the psychological quality is poor, but in fact it is not strong enough."

Zhao Yang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourds of the two team leaders, so he could only follow along: "Yes, people with high skills are bold, and bold and skilled are even higher."

Li Gang said: "This sentence is well said, and this is the reason."

Li Yu said: "Xiao Zhao, who is stronger, we or Qatar?"

Zhao Yang pondered for a moment, "It should be between brothers."

Li Yu said: "Then you said this game, what is our winning percentage?"

Zhao Yang said: "If we play normally, we have the home court advantage, and the opponent has no desires, so our hope of winning should be even greater."

Li Gang said solemnly: "We not only need greater hope of winning, we need to win. Neither Huaguo football nor the fans can bear the result of being out of the top 40."

Zhao Yang didn't speak, waiting for Li Gang to continue.

After pondering for a moment, Li Gang said: "You have also seen the tactical drills during this period. Coach Pei Lan's starter is not our strongest player. People like Feng Xiaoting, Hao Jun, Huang Bo and Zhang Zhe are all on the bench. "

The issue Li Gang mentioned involved the power struggle between the Chinese coaching staff and foreign teachers. Originally, Zhao Yang didn't want to get involved in these matters, but it was related to the overall situation of the Chinese team's qualifying, so Zhao Yang couldn't help but stay out of it.

Zhao Yang said: "Maybe Coach Perrin has his own ideas."

Li Gang said: "Every coach has his own ideas, but we can't pin all our hopes on foreign teachers."

Li Yu said: "Yes, we have hired a lot of foreign teachers. We only got out of the World Cup once. If you hadn't returned in time last time, we might not even have the chance to fight this life-and-death battle."

Li Gang said: "No matter what formation is played, players are still required to implement it. If we don't select the best players, how can we play the best game. Like Hao Jun, who has even played in the Bundesliga, he is the best in our team. Oh, besides you, can't you play the Asian qualifiers?"

Zhao Yang probably understood the meaning of the two team leaders. They didn't want to seize or divide power, but they hoped to win the game more steadily.

Zhao Yang didn't want to go around in circles with the two team leaders, so he said, "You two team leaders, tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Li Gang said: "At the team meeting later, we are going to suggest that Peilan reuse Hao Jun and Feng Xiaoting. I hope you can support us."

Zhao Yang thought for a while, after training and competing for this period of time, he recognized Hao Jun's strength. Although he didn't want to influence Peilan's tactical deployment, Peilan's command was indeed not impeccable. It's because the opponent is too weak to see the problem. This life-and-death battle really requires Perrin to think more comprehensively.

Zhao Yang said: "If necessary, I can advise Pei Lan."

After Li Gang and Li Yu left, Zhao Yang still felt uneasy, so he called his manager Xu Bing to ask him how to deal with this matter.

After Xu Bing heard this, he told Zhao Yang that he could not act with Huaguo's coaching staff on this matter, so as not to arouse Peilan's suspicion. If he thought what Huaguo's coaching staff said was reasonable, he could communicate with Peilan in private.

Xu Bing also told Zhao Yang not to mention anything about coach Huaguo, but to express his own opinion.

In the end, Xu Bing told Zhao Yang not to discuss tactics with Peilan. Foreigners have strong self-esteem, which may make Peilan think that Zhao Yang questioned his coaching ability.

Qatar doesn't have to win, the Huaguo team must win. Xu Bing suggested that Zhao Yang start from the perspective of the mentality of both sides in the game and let Peilan use Hao Jun.

Xu Bing is worthy of being an old Jianghu, Zhao Yang admires his suggestion very much.

After dinner, the team held a pre-war team meeting in the hotel conference room.

The theme of the meeting was the final showdown against Qatar the next day.

The tactical play has been practiced many times, and the key is to determine the starters.

Before Zhao Yang returned, Pei Lan experienced a serious crisis of trust.

During that period, the Chinese National Football Association once had the idea of ​​changing the coach, and began to intervene in the team's personnel arrangements. It was at that time that Zhao Yang was really included in the national team.

After Zhao Yang's return, the national team's record improved, and it was only after Pei Lan passed the crisis of confidence that he regained control of the team.

Although the Hua Guo team has won three games in a row, they are still in a dangerous situation. As long as they lose, they may lose the opportunity to enter the top twelve in the Asian region.

At this time, Huaguo's coaching staff did not dare to take risks. In the team affairs meeting, they hoped that Pei Lan could reuse his marginalized defender Feng Xiaoting, midfielders Hao Jun, Huang Bo and Zhang Zhe.

Previously, in the three important games against Qatar and the Hong Kong team, these four players did not get much playing time. In this key game against Qatar, the Huaguo coaching staff hopes that they will have more opportunities.

Especially Hao Jun, who has played in the Bundesliga and can organize and break through, can start. If he can start, he can help Zhao Yang find shooting opportunities.

Hao Jun is very capable and has experience playing in the top European leagues, but his problems are also obvious, that is, his physical fitness is too poor and his confrontation is too poor.

The head coach Perrin's coaching style is somewhat conservative. He believes that Qatar has good physical fitness and strong confrontation, and Hao Jun is not suitable to start in such a game.

Huaguo's coaching staff and Pei Lan had a heated debate on this at the meeting, but they remained at loggerheads, and neither could convince the other.

On this occasion, Huaguo's coaching staff wanted Zhao Yang to stand up and suggested to Pei Lan that Li Gang had winked at Zhao Yang several times, but Zhao Yang pretended not to see it.

After the meeting, Zhao Yang came to Pei Lan's room. He didn't mention Huaguo's suggestion, but only expressed his views on tomorrow's game.

Zhao Yang believes that Qatar has already qualified for the group stage and has secured the victory. He has little interest in defeating the Huaguo team. Therefore, the Huaguo team's defense line should not be under too much pressure, so the Huaguo team should focus on offense.

This is an angle other than tactics. Pei Lan felt that it made sense, so he asked Zhao Yang to go back, saying that he would think about it carefully.
