Shortly after defeating Sweden in the first game, after deciding to abandon the game with England, the first team of the national team began special training for Paraguay. Paraguay is a frequent guest of the World Cup and has made four appearances from the group, but this is also the upper limit of Paraguay.

Speaking better than the Chinese team, but there is no rise in the Chinese team in recent years. From a country perspective, this South American inland agricultural country has a simple and fragile economic structure and is extremely vulnerable to the financial crisis. It is a typical developing country. Although it was richer than China in the early days, it has gradually been overtaken by China in 2006. The other is that Paraguay has not yet established diplomatic relations with China ...

In other words, this country is still openly on the side of the Republic of China and is a supporter of our country's separatist forces ...

This has given the national team passion for preparation. Of course, neither front-line leader Nan Yong nor rear leader Yan Shiduo would say anything about sports. It has nothing to do with politics, just as the Iranian team met the American team. However, since Wang Ai mentioned this problem during pre-match training, he saw that the international enthusiasm for preparing for the war has risen.

Paraguay currently loses both battles in the group and is bound to return home. The rest of England won in two games, Sweden and China were one win and one defeat. If the last game of England lost to Sweden, the three teams will have a goal difference. China is currently 3, England is currently 2 and Sweden is -3. If China won the last match, it would be at least 4 goal difference, which means that Sweden must qualify, not only to beat England, but also at least A 3: 0 defeat is needed to squeeze England out of the goal difference to reach the top 16.

Therefore, in general, the situation of this group's qualifying situation is fairly clear. As the Chinese team swept 4 goal difference in Sweden in the first game, as long as they win Paraguay, the Chinese team will definitely qualify. Because no matter how much competition there is between England and Sweden, only one team can exceed China's goal difference. Of course, if China has a chance of losing to Paraguay, then China, Sweden and Paraguay will have three match-win goals, but even so, China still has a great advantage because of Paraguay's goal difference It is currently -2. Assuming Sweden loses to England 0: 1, the goal difference is -4, and it is determined to go out, and Paraguay wants to beat China 3: 0.

When the above detailed analysis was displayed in Chinese newspapers and magazines, many fans were still worried. Our national team, losing three goals to others, seems ... uncommon.

But within the national team, no one has ever considered losing to Paraguay, because Paraguay's FIFA ranking is lower than the Chinese team, and the main force of the Chinese team has been preparing for another ten days. Of course, despising opponents does not exist. On June 16, the national team therefore held a tactical discussion forum to formulate match tactics, study opponents, and implement plans for battle preparation.

After Wang Ai, Zhao Xuri, Chen Yang, Hao Haidong and other players who participated in the war with England returned, at the suggestion of Wang Ai, the discussion originally held by the coaching team became an expanded meeting. Wang Ai has never liked several coaches to formulate tactics alone, and players are only responsible for the implementation method. This is not called tactical democracy. And from a practical point of view, the effect is often not good. Not to mention that the execution of tactics without the understanding and support of players is easy to discount. Once the tactics arranged by the coach did not work in the game, players with nothing in their minds will be at a loss and do not know what to do. Practice has proved that it is difficult to guess the opponent's tactical layout and the adventurous changes on the pitch.

Since the decision to abandon England was finally determined by Wang Ai, the national team has remained calm, but all players have felt the shift of power of the national team. For example, during the training, Wang Ai was significantly increased by the number of times the coach was asked to speak, and the training methods and training rhythm of the Tubingen system became more intense. Until the announcement of the tactical seminar, when all international players were called to attend the conference room, this feeling reached its peak.

Although no one said anything, the change was hidden.

Wang Ai certainly felt this change, but in addition to feeling heavier responsibility, he did not have time to think about the subsequent impact of this change in detail, whether it is favorable or not. In China's sports industry, players such as Wang Ai have never appeared in all walks of life, especially in collective events. In the women's volleyball team of Lang Ping at that time, there were a lot of strong men such as Sun Jinfang. Lang Ping was just one of the best, but still an ordinary player. If you must compare, Wang Ai is a bit like Yao Ming in the men's basketball team today, but Yao Ming is just an ordinary player with a lot of ability, but his identity has not changed. Unlike Wang Ai, who was too strong and pulled up a bunch of brothers.

Therefore, Wang Ai does not know if this is good or bad, but he knows that playing Paraguay, the national team and him have no retreat and must win. Therefore, he also attached great importance to this tactical seminar.

In the meeting room on the top of the Tubingen Youth Club building, there was a big projector in front of him. After everyone was in place, Gao Hongbo, who chaired the meeting, stood sternly on the stage. You can watch the video carefully and allow for a quiet discussion, but it is best to take notes separately. This meeting allows everyone to participate, the purpose is to work together, and everyone thinks about our common opponents. After watching the video, our coach will also You discuss it together, and you have one goal, to defeat Paraguay and get out of the World Cup group! "

Many international players are participating in pre-war tactical discussions for the first time, so there is obviously a hint of excitement in their expressions. Lao Gao saw everyone's enthusiasm, so he didn't say much, turned around and turned on the device with the remote control. Constance, who attended the meeting as a staff member of the delegation, also stood up and closed the window curtains. The projector is somewhat dim, and pulling the curtains works much better.

The colorful brilliance shone on the faces of the international players, and the fierce and noisy voice echoed in the conference room. One game in 90 minutes, it takes 3 hours to watch the two games. It usually looks at the highlights of the game, cut the time of the sideline, red and yellow cards, but this time it is not, the full version is put in order to give the international players time to think when the game is slow.

They are all playing the old ball, but they have never watched the ball so carefully and devotedly. People who go to the toilet are running around in small steps, bending over to enter, for fear of disturbing others' sight. Dozens of small notebooks often write down a lot of typos, and even records of pinyin and homemade icons.
