Chapter 1131: I Refuse
Before the match between the Chinese team and Uzbekistan, the Chinese domestic media began to dig over old accounts and tell everyone about the historical grievances between the two teams of China and Uzbekistan.
In this way, I would like to tell you that this game is actually very important, and it is not the kind of game that is played casually with a relaxed mentality.
Before this game, the Chinese team had played against Uzbekistan eight times, and the Chinese team had two wins, one draw and five losses, completely at a disadvantage. The Chinese team has lost all three major tournaments, including losing to Uzbekistan 2:4 in the final of the 1994 Hiroshima Asian Games, losing the Asian Games gold medal, which is perhaps the most painful.
It was a great opportunity for the Chinese team to break through the gold medal in the Asian Games, but lost to Uzbekistan in the final.
Then in the 1996 Asian Cup group stage, the Chinese team lost 0:2, and in the 2007 Asian Cup group stage life and death match, the Chinese team lost 0:3.
In the Asian Cup, the two sides played each other twice, and the Chinese team conceded five goals but did not score a single goal, which is really obvious enough.
Uzbekistan is a Central Asian team with a tough style and excellent physique, and physically, the Chinese team has no advantage over Uzbekistan at all.
In terms of tactical discipline, Uzbekistan is also stronger than the Chinese team.
It can be said that the Chinese team was completely made by Uzbek tanks.
The previous two defeats were not wronged.
And this time, the Chinese team before Rongguang joined was not the strongest Chinese team in history.
But with the glory, this may be the strongest Chinese team in history, and everyone is optimistic that they will reverse their embarrassing record against Uzbekistan in the Asian Cup.
Especially after the last game against Qatar, Chinese fans and media have a lot of expectations for the Chinese team.
However, in Gao Hongbo's eyes, this does not mean that the Chinese team is outstanding.
At this time, Gao Hongbo was discussing the tactics of the next game with his assistant coach Fu Bo in his hotel room.
Looking at the TV playing the four goals of Rongguang in the game over and over again, Gao Hongbo sighed softly: "I have to admit, Lao Fu, some people are born to break the balance. ”
Of course, Fu Bo knew what Gao Hongbo was talking about, in fact, he came to Gao Hongbo to ask him why he said those words at halftime.
But Gao Hongbo told it first.
"We were always thinking about whether or not to stick to our tactical style of play because it was the result of more than a year of hard work and our hard work, and we really didn't want to give up just like that. But now it seems that if we stick to our original idea, everyone will have a hard time playing......"
Gao Hongbo continued.
Fu Bo didn't say anything, he was listening quietly.
"It was clear from the last game that when we had setbacks in the game, the overall table of the team was a mess. When the opponent presses us high, our tactical play doesn't play at all...... At this time, all we can count on is glorious personal ability. Although we are a little unwilling, we must also admit that if we want to achieve results, we must rely on Rongguang's personal ability......"
"From now on our opponents will only get stronger and stronger, and with the overall quality of this team, it will not be enough to deal with those strong opponents. So I think we may have to rely on Rongguang to give full play to Rongguang's personal abilities, and the whole team will serve him alone. ”
After Gao Hongbo finished speaking, he looked at Fu Bo.
"Uh...... I'm okay, as long as I can win. Fu Bo said. Actually, I really like the feeling of winning now. We've been winning all this time, and I'm going to wake up laughing every day when I go to bed! How long has it been since we've experienced this feeling? ”
Hearing Fu Bo say this, Gao Hongbo smiled: "In the past, Chinese football was too lacking in such victories. ”
Fu Bo nodded vigorously: "Yes, so, it doesn't matter how you win, as long as you can win." Chinese football needs to use victory to restore self-confidence. I think the players of the Chinese team have a bad psychological quality, which has something to do with always losing and being scolded. If we can win more goals, it's good for the lads to boost their confidence. If you want to make it to the World Cup in Brazil, you have to give them that confidence. ”
"In the next game, let Rongguang play as you like......" Gao Hongbo paused here, and then said to Bo with a serious expression: "But Lao Fu, don't let other players know this, or even let other coaches know." ”
Fu Bo also nodded strictly: "I know." ”
He knew why Gao Hongbo reminded himself like this.
Because to be honest, the two of them discussed the main idea in the final analysis, which is not to believe in the ability of the other players in the current team to meet their requirements.
Although this is true, the truth often offends people.
If this is known to other players, I am afraid that Gao Hongbo, the head coach, will have no prestige in this team. A manager who doubts the ability of his players is like a general who does not believe in his soldiers, he will not be supported, and if he loses the hearts and minds of the people, he will lose control of the team.
Then he is not far from the end of class.
So on this issue, both of them are very strict and not a little joking.
※※※
After Gao Hongbo and Fu Bo agreed, he planned to go to Rongguang and sue Rongguang for this tactical adjustment.
Rongguang was chatting with Sun Hai in the room at the time.
When Fu Bo saw Sun Hai, the expression on his face was a little unnatural, but he quickly turned his gaze to Rongguang: "Gao Zhi asked you to go to his room, Rongguang." ”
Rong Guang answered, then said goodbye to Sun Hai and followed Fu Bo out of the door.
On the way from Rongguang's room to Gao Hongbo's room, Fu Bo was always worried that Rongguang asked Gao Hongbo what he was looking for him to do, and in this kind of public space, he couldn't answer Rongguang.
But along the way, Rong Guang didn't ask Fu Bo what he was looking for him, so he just followed Fu Bo silently.
After entering Gao Hongbo's room, Fu Bo closed the door, Gao Hongbo and Rongguang said a few polite words, and went straight to the point, but to his surprise, his arrangement was rejected by Rongguang.
"I don't accept it, High Finger." Rongguang said with a calm expression.
"Huh?" Gao Hongbo didn't expect Rongguang to refuse his kindness.
He had always suppressed Rongguang's performance before, and he originally thought that Rongguang would be very unhappy about it, but now that he is allowed to let go and play casually, he should be very happy.
I didn't expect Glory to accept it.
"Are we a team, High Finger?" Rongguang asked Gao Hongbo rhetorically.
Gao Hongbo was stunned for a moment when asked, and then nodded: "Of course it's a team ......."
"Then I can't just take care of myself. That's why I don't accept this arrangement from you. ”
Gao Hongbo frowned, Rongguang didn't accept it, this matter ...... It's not easy to do.
He can't say in front of Glory that other players are a burden to Glory, right?
It was his player after all, and even if he had admitted it in his heart, he didn't want to say it.
Before leaving, Rongguang said to Gao Hongbo: "Don't worry, I didn't come to the national team to be in the limelight." ”
Then Rongguang left Gao Hongbo's room.
"This ......" Fu Bo looked at the glory of leaving, and then looked at Gao Hongbo, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Gao Hongbo, on the other hand, sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.
Since Rong Guang came to the national team, he is different from others, not that he will be chased by reporters and fans wherever he goes, this difference is not the difference in the external form.
Gao Hongbo always felt that Rongguang was different from others in the national team.
Gao Lin is also a player who has stayed abroad, he has joined Barcelona, but he is actually a traditional Chinese player in his bones.
But Glory is not.
Many of his practices and thinking are different from those of the Chinese team, not only the international players of the national team, but also the local players that Gao Hongbo has contacted in the domestic league.
Many players have a sense of superiority and superiority for the manager, and the head coach is their superior, and they will consciously lower their posture in the face of the head coach.
But Glory didn't, and he spoke to himself in the same way that he spoke to other people. At first, it may seem that he lacks respect for the manager, but in fact, after a long period of contact, you will find that he does not treat everyone equally.
This may have something to do with the fact that he left China at the age of 16 and has been growing up in a foreign environment ever since. He was surrounded by Brazilians, Germans, and Britons who spoke simply and directly...... This is a typical Chinese influenced by Western culture.
Gao Hongbo has also been in contact with many Westerners, and there are some foreign coaches who have a similar style to Rongguang, just because this can't be mixed up in China, because he doesn't understand China's national conditions. Why did Milutinovic do it in the first place
For this request made by yourself, if you change to other players, even if you don't want to accept it, your mouth will sound a lot better, thank the coach for his care and love, but because of one reason or another, you can't accept it, or you will say something nice and loyal, show loyalty, and make it beautiful, so that people can listen to it comfortably.
Glory didn't do that.
He stubbornly refused, and only revealed a little of his thoughts when he left.
Gao Hongbo actually knew the meaning of Rongguang's last sentence, that is, he would not give up on his teammates.
It's a good idea, but Rongguang doesn't say it beautifully enough, and if you don't understand him, I'm afraid that I'll be angry and think he's too proud.
Fortunately, Gao Hongbo is not the kind of head coach with a big temper, otherwise he would definitely turn his face with glory.
Now he's just worried, it's good for Rong Rong to do this, but can he afford the entire national team alone?
If you really get exhausted and lose the game because of this, you will definitely have to carry this pot yourself. It can't be said that Rongguang is obstinate and wants to fight with the team, so the director lost the game, right?
Gao Hongbo scratched his head, meeting such a competitive and responsible player, he felt more than a happy thing for the first time......
