In fact, it is not easy to determine this game strategy, and intellectually speaking, the Chinese team is the fourth team in this group recognized by FIFA after all.No matter how you dominate in Asia, FIFA is a body that doesn't recognize it.Although after the first big win over Sweden, bookmakers in various European countries quickly adjusted the odds related to the Chinese team.However, to say that the overall strength is better than the England team, that is a fantasy.Even if there is such an unpredictable factor as Wang Ai.Although the Chinese team made a major breakthrough in the last World Cup, it still failed to qualify from the group and reach a higher level, so this time, we should safely seek to qualify from the group rather than blindly pursue the first place in the group, and then try to draw a good draw in the knockout stage.The Chinese don't have that much appetite and don't dare to really make plans like that.Therefore, giving up the game with the England team should become a rational choice for the Chinese team at present.This renunciation can be overt or covertly.For example, giving up openly is equivalent to replacing the main lineup, and it is clear that you will not play with you; Secretly giving up is tantamount to asking the players not to work too hard, so as to give an explanation to the fans.Usually the strong team will use the latter when they want to give up any game.But the situation of the Chinese team is a bit peculiar.One is that Chinese football has been weak for many years, and Chinese fans have been dissatisfied with the football world for many years.
Second, there are a lot of Chinese fans, and it is difficult to reconcile them, and because the Chinese media is a high-voltage line in some fields, all the wildness is concentrated in the field of culture and sports, among which football, as the largest sport, suffers even more.The last World Cup was in South Korea, and China went to more than 1,200 reporters in one go, and this time it was a little farther away, and the issue of travel expenses was a big deal, but even then more than 500 reporters came.Usually, no matter what the Chinese team's game looks like, don't expect everyone to say it is good.Even if you beat your opponent by a big beat, there are still people who worry about whether they will drive the opponent crazy, or simply drag it to the academy.Therefore, no matter what decision is made, it must bear a lot of responsibility, at least the pressure of public opinion; The third is that the decision-making level of the current Chinese team itself is divided, Ali Hahn and his assistant De Jong are on the side, Wang Ai is pulling the main system of the national football team on the other side, and the four members of the Chinese coaching staff are faintly standing on Wang Ai's side, but it is not obvious, in addition to Nan Yong, who came with the team, Zhu Heyuan, the leader of the national team, and Yan Shiduo, who is sitting in the rear in Beijing.For example, in the process of determining the final list, Alihahn negotiated with the Chinese coaching staff and got Wang Ai's acquiescence and deliberately reported to the Football Association after Wang Ai returned to China.During the whole process, the Football Association did not speak, Yan Shiduo, a layman, did a good job, and resolutely did not interfere if he didn't understand.Due to the above complex factors, after the end of the game with the Swedish team, in the face of the next opponent's game strategy, the national team coaching staff once seemed to be at both ends, hoping to preserve the combat power, strive for the greatest chance to defeat the last opponent Paraguay, and qualify steadily, which is a historic breakthrough; At the same time, he hopes to beat England, win the first place in the group, and let the Chinese team go further.This is a choice between a low return but a high success rate and a high return but a high risk choice.No one dares to guarantee the outcome of the selection, and the football game itself is difficult to predict.Either way, if you fail, you have to bear a lot of responsibility, such as giving it your all to beat England, or giving up the game and losing to Paraguay.Therefore, the original idea of the national team coaching staff was to "learn from the strengths of others", in fact, when the time comes, all the main forces, but tell them not to get injured, and have a wait-and-see attitude towards the game: if it goes well, they will be as brave as a tiger and win England, and if the progress is not good, they will shrink down and deal with the errand.Doing so can fool the fans, society and superiors, and if you lose, you can say "we did our best", and if you win, it will be even better.In fact, many things in the Chinese cultural circle are decided in this way, which is called "moderation".After the coaching staff came up with this idea, they found Wang Ai to discuss, but they were afraid that the idea would not succeed Wang Ai jumped back, after all, there was already a crack.Today's Wang Ai is not four years ago, and Ali Haan does not have Milu's affection for Wang Ai, so Wang Ai does not have to take care of his face.Unexpectedly, after listening to the plan, Wang Ai pondered for a moment and put forward diametrically opposed opinions: "I think that before the competition, our tactical determination should be clear.Either go all out and win, or give up altogether.If we hesitate and waver from side to side, our morale cannot be guaranteed.As you said, go to the main team and wait and see, then I am sure that our main players will not have a strong will to fight, and it is likely that the game situation is very unfavorable and they will lose the game in the end.At the same time, our main players are not given the opportunity to rest, and their physical fatigue increases the chance of injury, which in turn reduces the chances of winning the third game.If we don't make up our minds, the result we want for anything may be exactly what we fear the most, and we get nothing, neither winning against England nor losing to Paraguay.So, I don't support this idea. ”Chen Jingang, Wu Jingui, Tang Yaodong, and Gao Hongbo all sighed secretly and turned their heads to look at Ali Hahn.After listening to the translator and saying what Wang Ai meant, Ali Hahn looked at Wang Ai with a serious face and pondered for a long time.This determination is not easy for him to make, although he is a foreigner, but he now has extensive business interests in China.This business interest is related not only to his achievements in leading the team, but also to the media's evaluation of him.If the strength is about the same, you can fight head-on, such as putting a bus in front of the goal, and resolutely hold on to the draw before pursuing victory.But obviously, it's hard not to let England score, so a draw is not guaranteed."
What's your idea?""
Give up England!"
Wang Ai said slowly but firmly."
But in this way, I am afraid it is difficult to explain to the Football Association, society and fans."
De Jong spoke in front of Ali Hahn.Wang Ai looked at him, then at Ali, and saw that old Ali opened his mouth and fell silent again.Wang Ai smiled and looked at the four Chinese coaches again, Chen Jingang and Wu Jingui all lowered their heads, Tang Yaodong's eyes were flustered for a second, and he decisively met Wang Ai's gaze, and finally Gao Hongbo's face was cold, he didn't dodge or dodge, and even chased his gaze over."
I'm going to report to Vice Chairman Nan."
Wang Ai flicked off the table gently, and it was clear that the shoulders of Lao Ali and the others relaxed, but there was a sense of loss in their eyes.()
