If Wang Ai is asked to choose whether to defeat Argentina or finally win the championship, Wang Ai must choose the former.Although Wang Ai has never won the key to the World Youth Championships, and the Chinese team has certainly never won it, its importance is still far lower than that of the Beijing Olympics.Whether they can beat Messi's Argentina at the World Youth Championships will also be crucial for the Beijing Olympics in three years' time.Most of the team-mates in the youth team have played in China, and some have only seen Messi's power on TV.And Messi is currently only a substitute at Barcelona, so many teammates are not familiar with him at all.Therefore, after the game, Wang Ai put down everything, including the tactical research work of the coaching staff, and devoted himself to leading his teammates in training, among which in the training interval, Wang Ai spent a lot of time explaining Messi's technical characteristics to everyone, especially against defenders such as Feng Xiaoting, Zhou Haibin, Zhao Xuri and other midfielders.Wang Ai doesn't know how to defend, but he knows how to attack, and he demonstrates in person while comparing the few Messi game videos.Messi's footwork is outstanding and comprehensive, his power is subtle and his pace is excellent, especially his sense of rhythm is different.In today's football, the average height of a player is around 180 cm, and the corresponding pace size is about the same, however, Messi's pace is smaller than others, so if others take a step, he may have to take 1.5 steps, so with the same preparation distance, he has more opportunities to adjust.What's more, the defenders have adapted to the pace and rhythm of 180 cm tall, and often can't adjust when they encounter a player with a special rhythm.So a lot of Messi's shots make the fans look as if the defenders are cooperating, obviously very close, why not block?
In fact, the defender's center of gravity is adjusted according to the usual rhythm, and before he can move back, he shoots, how awkward.Insist on keeping up with his rhythm, even if you barely keep up, you are not as skilled as him, and you can't play him.The disease of dwarfism, although Messi suffered a lot, also gave him a special talent.And he is not the same as the average short player, such as Maradona, such as Carlos, these short people are very muscular, and the pace and rhythm are actually similar to the big ones.Figuratively speaking, Messi is like an antelope with the physique of a lion playing chase and running with a lion.Wang Ai played against the senior team when he was a child, and he often took advantage of him because of his pace.In other words, high-frequency running, Wang Ai's unique technology, is actually similar to Messi.After years of hard practice, this technique has almost become Wang Ai's instinct.It's just that these profound truths have not been noticed by ordinary people.Even football professionals pay attention to Wang Ai's free-kick skills when evaluating him.When Wang Ai used high-frequency running to show in front of Feng Xiaoting, Zhou Haibin, Zhao Xuri, Guo Liang, Tan Wangsong and other teammates, the teammates were taken aback.Not only because it is very strange to play with Wang Ai's current height to run at high frequency, but also because his teammates know for the first time that the boss is not the only one with this talent.And Wang Ai said that this kind of pace is mainly used by people for him, and the Messi of Argentina is the pace of passing people and shooting, and the shooting technology under this pace is not as good as Messi.The last goal against Brazil was a Messi-style goal, but it was far less good than Messi.Although what Wang Ai said was a bit exaggerated, his teammates had developed a habit for many years and were very convinced of him, so they were easily deceived, and they practiced with Wang Ai one after another, discussed, and exchanged ideas on how to defend.Wang Ai didn't interject either, and concentrated on being a sparring partner for his defensive teammates.He knows in his heart that Messi in the Argentine team is the same as himself in the Chinese team, and his technical level is a big step ahead of his teammates, and the victory or defeat of Argentina in this game depends largely on how much his teammates can limit Messi.Completely blocked?
Wang Ai had never counted on this.The only one who can lock Messi up is himself, and when he is not in good shape, he can give the other party a chance.Just like Wang Ai doesn't think there are any defensive players in football today who can completely lock himself up.Wang Ai's extraordinary performance also attracted the attention of Lao Gao, after an afternoon of listening and watching, decisively adjusted the defensive focus, and took the defense of Messi as the focus of the Chinese team's defense in the next game.From Wang Ai, Lao Gao has never seen such a respected person, compared with only the last World Cup, he did everything possible to calculate Ronaldo.So Lao Gao doesn't need to go to Messi's video to know that this little guy of the same age as Wang Ai is definitely not ordinary.In the next two days of training, Wang Ai took one hour a day to play Messi as usual, galloping across the Chinese team's backline, making his teammates miserable.Because in fact, Wang Ai's physical fitness is better than Messi's, so defensive means such as collisions are also ineffective.However, whether it is his teammates or Lao Gao, they can feel the improvement of Feng Xiaoting and others' defensive strength.With three consecutive European Golden Boy Award winners as sparring partners, what could be better than that?
On a planet-wide scale?
So from the next day, Feng Xiaoting told everyone in private that he must cherish this opportunity.Usually the boss accompanies Chen Tao to practice the attack in front, and rarely comes to pay attention to us, and he doesn't know when the next time will be.In fact, what Feng Xiaoting didn't say was: next time the National Olympics and the national team, there will be no one or no, but it may not be a matter of time.Therefore, everyone has also been stimulated with fighting spirit and resilience, even if the two days are too short, the probability of being able to successfully intercept is still very low, but at least they have been able to preliminarily judge the main threat and ball route of players with technical characteristics such as Wang Ai or Messi.Even the goalkeeper Yang Cheng and the bystander Zeng Cheng benefited a lot.The two days passed quickly, and the day of the game arrived.While waiting for the start of the game in the dressing room of Hagéwald Stadium in Utrecht, Lao Gao made a special statement: "Everyone has a good attitude in preparing for the game in the past two days, and my confidence in this game has strengthened a lot.Although the opponent is strong, we are not weak either.Let's not forget, we're in the last four now, and we've beaten Germany and Brazil. ”Seeing that the tension of the players was relaxed, Lao Gao regained his face and said: "However, we can't underestimate the opponent, except for Messi, the other Argentine players are not bad."
Argentina have won the World Junior Championship four times, and we haven't won a single one. ”As the two sides appeared, the fans inside and outside the TV camera exclaimed: Wang Ai, the starter.()
