Wang Ai has been a warm-up opponent with Portugal twice in the national football team, once for the 02 World Cup and once for this World Cup, I dare not say that the two sides are very familiar, but at least they are not strangers.Wang Ai himself had fought with Figo, Rui Costa and others many times when he was in Laco, and he and Figo were friends who didn't often contact him.Portugal's golden generation is coming to an end, with Rui Costa quitting the national team two years ago, and 33-year-old Pauletta and 34-year-old Figo not holding out for long.Deco, Carvalho, and Wang Ai of the Mesozoic Era are also familiar, the former is an opponent, and the latter is a teammate, but the former has two yellow cards so he is absent in this game, and Carvalho often goes off the line in games, and he doesn't know what deep problems he is thinking about.Cristiano Ronaldo is a problem, but the cyclist is still quite obsessed with personal performance in the second grade, and he is far from mature.Of course, this does not mean that the Chinese team is stronger than the Portuguese team, in fact, it is really put out, and it is far behind.More than half of the members of the Portuguese national team are in the five major leagues, a small part are in the Portuguese domestic league, and half of the Chinese members are in the five major leagues, but the middle and lower leagues are specifically Tübingen in the German Second Division, and the rest are in the Chinese Super League.If the five major leagues are the first in the world, the Portuguese league is the second, and the German second is the second, then the Chinese Super League can only be regarded as the third-rate league, of course, you can't calculate the salary, it is no less than the German second, but the level of competition is another matter.In addition, Portugal only has Deco and Costinha two main players unable to play, and the lineup is slightly weakened, while the Chinese side has Bai Guanghai, Shao Jiayi, Li Weifeng, Qu Bo and other four absolute main players or due to injury, or accumulated yellow cards and are absent.Hidden behind these data, it is easy to be noticed, the slogan shouted by the Portuguese team to participate in this World Cup is to win the championship, and the actual goal of the Chinese team is to qualify, and if you can't get out, you can fool the past as long as you win a group stage, which means that the physical reserves, the goal and rhythm of the state adjustment of the two sides are not consistent.So far, it can only be said that Portugal's basic goal has been achieved, but it has far exceeded the expectations of the Chinese team, so that Portugal's troop arrangement, physical condition, etc. still have room to spare, and the Chinese team is close to exhaustion.Figuratively speaking, playing the group stage, Portugal is almost half-hearted, and the Chinese team is desperate every game, both sides are desperate in the first knockout game, Portugal fights out a Deco, and the Chinese team fights out a Bai Guanghai, a Shao Jiayi, a Qu Bo, and even Wang Ai is seriously consumed in the fierce scramble in Ecuador.Due to the adjustment of physical condition, the strength of the Portuguese team is now about 80% of the perfect state, while the Chinese team is only 50%.Although football is round, although superstars have the ability to change the day, they are a minority after all, so they are remembered and boasted about.The gap in absolute strength has reached the current distance, and the Chinese delegation understands from top to bottom that the journey of this World Cup has come to an end.A few days later, Schalke 04's home stadium was the last game of the Chinese team.From the delegation to the coaching staff to the team to the domestic football people and fans, they all understand the difficulty of this battle, even if there is still a bit of luck in their hearts, but there is room for it.Except for a few media outlets that have played the slogan of "entering the semi-finals" in order to attract attention, most of the speakers have taken the love of the national team as the starting point and expressed caution.Even before the last defeat to Ecuador, CCTV had left room for it.Closer to the game, the main focus of the domestic media has been on Wang Ai personally, with Xinhua News Agency commenting on the headline "Enjoy the Joy of Football", encouraging fans to seize the time to enjoy the quadrennial football fun, and introducing other exciting events in the article.The Chinese Football Association has also approved a series of activities for the delegation to return to China, and it is said that even the return ticket has been booked, just the day after the end of the game.This time I went back to China and I was different from when I came, when I came, I was in economy class all the way, and I secretly changed it to first class when I went back.The three group games brought in $2.7 million for the Football Association, including $1 million for the World Cup finals.Of course, the big head is the one-eighth final of the group qualification, without waiting to kick, 6 million was divided from the broadcast fee and sponsorship fee, and when he finished beating Ecuador, Lao Bai earned 14 million for the Football Association at the cost of wearing an eye patch!
A few years ago, in order to build a building, the Football Association asked FIFA for $400,000 and was happy, but now there has not been a subprime mortgage crisis, and the dollar is not so watery.The previous spending budget made by the Football Association was based on 2.7 million US dollars, and the occasional shy calculation was 8.7 million, and this time 14 million was smashed down, what is it to change to a first-class cabin?
Yan Shiduo's phone was turned off, knowing that he was going to be ruthlessly picked up by his superiors, so he had to cover it for a few days, and the Football Association's account was never so wide!
Besides, it's good to save a few more days for some interest, two thousand dollars a day!
Fortunately, the leader of the front, Nan Yong, was quite calm, and did not let the good news smash the delegation, but strengthened the discipline control of the team, except for Wang Ai, the power of other players to read the newspaper was stopped, for fear that this joyful wind would disturb the morale of the army and demoralize.If the big guys start to imagine how much money the Football Association will give, then the game will not be playable.Besides, what if Portugal wins?
That's another windfall!
Big windfall!
It's not a big hope, but what if, isn't it?
Therefore, the preparation of the national team has been smooth in the past few days, and driven by the old players, everyone has suppressed the ecstasy in their hearts and the imagination of their future life, among which the mechanism of tactical discussions has played a great role.Everyone studied this powerful opponent together, and gradually squeezed out selfish distractions, all of them were vigorous and energetic, and they were all competitive and competitive.With Alihaan as the center, the national team coaching staff is also fully operational, and Leoni's CY Sports has helped a lot, and even found a lot of news from Scolari.Among them, Leonie's subordinates lurked on the high-rise buildings around the Portuguese team's training ground to provide a not-so-wonderful news: the Portuguese team did not take the enemy lightly, judging from the Portuguese team's action in the past few days, after defeating the Dutch team, there was no half-day holiday after the group stage, and the players went out to hang out and even wandered in the red light district, but every day in addition to the hotel is the training ground, the training time is also very long, and the training attitude is also very good.This shows that the Portuguese team also regards the Chinese team as an opponent that must be taken seriously.A serious Portuguese team, even if the golden generation is dying and about to end, has also made the Chinese team lose the last trace of luck.()
