Lao Gao and the others distributed the Uruguay technical materials that had been prepared for a long time to everyone, asking everyone to read it first, and hold a tactical meeting in the morning after the morning practice tomorrow. After a good night's sleep, Wang Ai and everyone went to the training ground early in the morning to run laps, and then returned to the hotel warmly for breakfast. After everything was ready, they came to the conference room.

This is the old tradition of this national team. Before every game, there must be a tactical discussion meeting with everyone involved. The coaching staff is responsible for formulating the meeting process and the content of the discussion. The players express their opinions and argue endlessly. It takes significantly longer than the coach. The rhythm of the meeting is controlled by Wang Ai or other captains, so that the team members can fully speak, and their ideas collide and integrate, but also do not deviate from the basic direction set by the coach.

Of course, if the players' speech is particularly valuable, the coach's predetermined thinking will also be changed. This is the reason why Lao Gao agreed to the establishment of this mechanism. I don't necessarily agree to change to a arrogant and arrogant coach. I can only say that Wang Ai has given Lao Gao a good foundation, although it is a bit strange to say that.

After discussion, everyone's views on this game gradually became clear. Uruguay is a typical South American team with outstanding personal skills and strong offensiveness, but the defense is average. There are two sets of methods to deal with such an opponent: one is defensive counterattack, which is based on strangling the opponent's attack and penetration of counterattack; the other is full attack and full defense, especially the way of controlling the ball. Completely let the opponent reduce the efficiency on both ends of offense and defense, and finally win.

Because the victory against Spain in the last game has really improved the confidence of the Chinese team, everyone suggested that Lao Gao should not use defensive counterattacks and use normal combat methods to face the opponent.

Lao Gao and Lao Fan did some research and finally made a decision: Just listen to everyone!

That's not all. During the discussion, someone suggested that Captain Wang Ai should have a truce? One is that his condition is not very good, and he needs to rest for a while, and the other is to see if the Tai Chi Bagua Array can turn around after leaving him, and whether he can walk without this crutch.

Wang Ai himself is not very easy to say about this, so he can only look at others. Chen Tao is habitually invisible, and being the captain or not is a symbol of seniority for him, so Wang Ai can only look at Zhao Xuri.

Zhao Xuri felt the pressure, but after all, he had to come up with a unified opinion on behalf of the players to meet with the coach, so he nodded with difficulty: "I also think that against an opponent like Uruguay, we can give it a try."

Lao Gao, Lao Fan and the others discussed it again, and they still agreed: Just do it!

So, in the third group match of Superstar at 3:00 a.m. on the 24th of bj time, Wang Ai resolutely sat on the bench... Lao Gao, Lao Fan, and Zhao Xuri, but they were not arrogant enough to let Wang Ai take the stand.

With Wang Ai sitting on the sidelines, and out of all kinds of show mentality of "give the boss a good look", the players in this game were in exceptionally good condition.

The game was a bit thrilling. The various tactics originally formulated around Wang Ai suddenly failed because Wang Ai suddenly failed, which gave the Chinese team a clear tactical advantage. First, Zhao Xuri scored a long-range shot shortly after the opening, and then Chen Tao scored a beautiful lob. Although the Uruguay team responded soon after, the Chinese team scored another by Dong Fangzhuo. This is only the first half. .

In the second half, the Uruguay team exchanged venues, and the Uruguay team changed two more players, but it did not have obvious effect. Instead, they carried a red card, which also made the second half and the whole game lose the suspense early. The Chinese team did not seek to attack vigorously, but instead Patiently and meticulously organized defense, and firmly controlled the game and the score under his feet.

When the sunset slanted and the final whistle sounded, the Uruguayan bid farewell to the Confederations Cup with a long sigh. The Chinese team celebrated their victory. At a dinner party that night, including family members, a group of **** ran up to Wang Ai and shouted.

After being suppressed by Wang Ai for more than ten years, he was finally able to take revenge on him, and his teammates did not hesitate to start.

"Aren't you angry?" The teammates finished chatting and the dinner was over. Xu Qinglian accompanied Wang Ai for a walk in the hotel garden.

"Why are you angry? The big deal is that I'll score a few more shots. You still don't know your man's shooting ability?"

Xu Qinglian pretended to be naive, pinched Wang Ai secretly in her hand and said, "I heard it", but said something else: "You didn't play in this game, and those people have to say that you and Gao are not good. "

"Go ahead." Wang Aiha said, "You don't care about anything else?"

"I'm concerned." Xu Qinglian put her arms around Wang Ai's arm and grinned: "The most talked about is the next game."

"Haha in the semi-finals." Wang Ai pulled Xu Qinglian down the road, tried the swing in the garden, and pulled Xu Qinglian to sit side by side.

Xu Qinglian held the rope with her hands and kicked the ground with her feet. She and Wang Ai shook together and said, "No, it's Brazil! It's all about Brazil."

"What happened to Brazil? The host?" Wang Ai turned his head strangely: "Brazil, oh..."

"Got it? That's Brazil."

"Yeah, Brazil." Wang Ai also nodded with emotion: "Actually, Brazil is not as strong as it used to be. After Ronaldo and Ronaldo died, it was obvious that talents were cut off."

"But in the minds of the public, especially the general fans, their understanding of the reality of football is often a few years or more behind. Even some professional fans will make errors in their judgment of football strength due to their own feelings and memories. "

"So, do you think we will lose more?" Wang Ai asked curiously.

"Obviously there aren't that many losers, but the majority are cautious and afraid, hee hee." Xu Qinglian laughed: "How about it, am I useful?"

"Yeah." Wang Ai responded, pressing his feet hard, the swing was blocked even more.

In Xu Qinglian's giggling, Wang Ai's tone was leisurely and unhurried: "Speaking of the last time we played against Brazil in the group stage of the 2002 World Cup, the top team in Brazil, hey, it has been many years."

"It's a coincidence that I haven't met each other in all these years, and I haven't met in the warm-up match." Xu Qinglian pressed the corner of her skirt in the wind from the swing, stretched her calf, and said happily, "I heard that many Brazilian players will to the scene."

"Um...reporting the performance? Mine? Oh, Lao Fan, Lao Su, and Lao Li were still my teammates at the time, and now I'm the only one left."

"It's a rehearsal at most, and the official performance will be next year." Xu Qinglian turned her head and looked at Wang Ai with a smile: "How about it, my super-giant man, do you want to surprise everyone?"

Wang Ai gasped with his nose, and with a squeak, he said eagerly, "Let them see what a super giant is first... Let's go home and let you see what a super giant is!"

"Oh, I'm waiting!"
