1144 Fight Japan first, then Korea!
The Chinese team defeated the host Japan team with a score of 4:2 at the Saitama World Cup Stadium.
This result is somewhat unexpected to the Japanese media.
Before the game, people would look forward to the changes of the Chinese team, but they didn’t expect that the new Chinese team would have such amazing strength!
Even though the Chinese team is passive in the situation and always plays the opponent's backhand, it is precisely this low posture that suits the current positioning of the Chinese team.
Accurate positioning, appropriate tactics, extraordinary performance!
The Chinese team may not be described as a strong rise, but it still allows the outside world to see the thriving and vigorous development side of the team, which is enough to expect them to perform better in the future!
Regardless of whether Japanese media and fans accept it or not, the Chinese team will be a force that cannot be underestimated in the future Asian football world.
When Situ Yunbing attended the post-match press conference, the Japanese media did not get angry and asked some questions that made him difficult. Instead, the first question showed a humble attitude.
"How do you think the Japanese team performs today? Is there a situation of underestimating the enemy? Or is the Japanese team already showing close to all their strength, but still suffered a loss at home!"
Of course, the Japanese media hoped to get objective evaluation of Situ Yunbing. The warm-up match was about training. Since the Japanese team, which was believed to be at least guaranteed to be unbeaten, must have some problems with the Japanese team.
Situ Yunbing thought for a moment and said, "I think both are there, but it is absolutely incorrect to say that the Japanese team has obviously relaxed their vigilance. It can only be said that the friendly match made the team's thinking not be more vigilant from the second before the game. When the game showed a tendency to make them feel out of control, the Japanese team's response seemed a little lagging behind in my opinion, and at the same time a little panicked.
At the same time, when we were lagging behind, the situation became difficult for the Japanese team. I can see that they worked very hard, but they have not yet been running-in. Just like the Chinese team, it is not a team that has been running-in perfectly, but we are playing conservative tactics and in terms of difficulty, we have to attack lower than the Japanese team.
Overall, this is a good game, and the score and results are secondly. The important thing is that we are all discovering our own problems in the fights and working hard to improve and improve these problems, so the gains of this warm-up match will not be small."
Situ Yunbing's words made Japanese media reporters nod their heads frequently.
It seemed as if Situ Yunbing said the Jinke Law.
Next, Japanese media reporters hope that Situ Yunbing would comment on the performance of some Japanese players.
Situ Yunbing shook his head and said, "I rarely make comments on the individual performance of players, because it is one-sided to make comments about the factors such as the game background, trend, and team. As I said before, the Japanese team needs to be run-in, and have been updated in many positions. Now, the Japanese team, like the Chinese team, needs time, and more time to run-in and improve their strength!"
Finally, when Chinese reporters got up to ask questions, they felt distorted.
She was asking the Chinese team what it means to Chinese football when they defeated the Japanese team away, and also asked whether the Chinese team's young players are actually more talented than those of the Japanese team who have higher attention.
Situ Yunbing looked helpless and sighed: "This is just a friendly match. A warm-up match. I don't know what a win in a friendly match can represent. If you think a victory in a friendly match can express a lot of content, please tell me what the significance of defeating the French team in the friendly match of the Chinese team back then? Then are these meanings reflected in the development of Chinese football in the subsequent development?"
The Chinese journalists at the scene were quite embarrassed!
They naturally hope to report the victory of the Chinese team positively and sensationally.
But Situ Yunbing poured them cold water.
When the sound of silence, Situ Yunbing said again: "Modern football cannot be separated from the media. The media can drive the development of modern football and will also play a positive or negative role. I am not criticizing the practitioners of Chinese football media. I just hope you can also reflect on it. If you love football enough, then please respect the laws of football development. A victory will never represent anything unless this victory can deliver the Hercules Cup to our hands.
If you don’t love football and just do your own professional work, then please consider whether you want to be a sensational journalist or a rigorous and serious professional journalist.
Professionals don’t ask questions as naive as before. It’s just like when I was coaching at Liverpool, the Times entertainment reporter came to ask me about football and made me feel like I was just being used by the other party.”
After Situ Yunbing finished speaking, he stood up and left.
The media has become an indispensable role in the football industry chain, but Situ Yunbing does not want to make an industry stronger and bigger, but what he wants is not economic benefits.
If you want economic benefits, then speaking some big talk after the victory will definitely stimulate the nerves of Chinese fans. He can even design many celebration actions to attract attention, but what is the meaning?
What he wants is the record and the Chinese team's real improvement!
This requires sufficient humility in mind and sufficient down-to-earth in action.
Chinese players also exchanged their experiences about defeating the Japanese team in the locker room.
However, when Situ Yunbing returned to the locker room, they stopped discussing. Situ Yunbing said to them: "Everyone performed well today. Let's hurry up and clean up, go back to the hotel, and take a plane to South Korea in the evening. When you arrive in Korea tomorrow, you will have a half-day holiday for you. You can move freely at that time."
Situ Yunbing's words made the Chinese generals feel much more relaxed.
They played two warm-up matches on the Fifa match day in September, playing against Japan in the first away game and South Korea in the second away game!
The Chinese team quickly recovered after the game, then cleaned the locker room and left the Saitama World Cup Stadium neatly and orderly.
They took the bus and rushed to the airport to travel to South Korea overnight.
Even though Situ Yunbing confronted Chinese reporters at the post-match press conference, the Chinese media still praised the Chinese team after the game, and words like opening up a new era were dazzling.
People who don’t know really think that the Chinese team has won such a major game!
When he came to Seoul, South Korea, he stayed in a hotel and Situ Yunbing gave the team a holiday. The players would go out together in groups, but no one dared to go to the flower world.
Korean sports media reported the visit of the Chinese team, especially the game where the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team was replayed after another time, which seemed to be warning the Korean team: the Japanese team next door lost, we said we can't lose anything!
In particular, Situ Yunbing has a very bad relationship with the Korean football circle. He has formed a feud with the Korean football circle since he was in Monaco. For ten years since then, even though he trained Son Heung-min, in the words of the Korean media, there is no connection with Situ Yunbing for Son Heung-min's achievements.
Situ Yunbing didn't care, and he didn't have a good impression of South Korea.
The South Korean team completed the change of coaches in the summer, and Portugal coach Paul Bento became the team's new coach. The contract period lasted for four years, basically leading the South Korean team to play the next World Cup. Unless there is a problem with the South Korean team's World Cup, this should not change.
Bento is also a bit of a fateful despair. He led Portugal to the semi-finals in the 2012 European Cup, but unfortunately he didn't qualify for the 2014 World Cup group stage!
The World Cup qualifiers started in the same year and were fired by the Portuguese Football Association. No one expected that Portugal would win the European Cup two years later!
Since then, Bento began his four-year wandering career and coached a club in Chinese football for one year.
This time, Bento hopes to have a good start over, so even in the warm-up match, he has recruited the main players of the Korean team!
The Chinese team has only two days to prepare for the battle in South Korea, which can be said to be just rest and adjustments. The only thing about preparing for the battle is Situ Yunbing’s tactical course.
At the Korean team's pre-match press conference, Paul Bento was asked if it would be stressful to fight against Situ Yunbing?
Bento replied: "I think there is no coach in this world who will be without pressure when competing with Situ Yunbing, even if Situ Yunbing coaches the Chinese team!"
Before the myth of Situ Yunbing was shattered, I am afraid that all colleagues' awe for him will not disappear.
On this acre of three-point land in Asian football, Sang Baoyi has already tasted the bitterness of the defeat, and Bento doesn't want to repeat the same mistake.
Regarding whether the South Korean team is confident in defeating the Chinese team at home?
Bento could only bite the bullet and say he was confident!
What else?
What else can he say!
In comparison, Situ Yunbing performed very easily in an interview before the game.
"I looked at the roster of the Korean team this training camp. They seemed to attach great importance to the warm-up match, which is very good, which means they entered the pace of preparing for the next World Cup earlier.
This will also make the warm-up match between the Chinese and South Korean teams more valuable for training.”
The reporter then asked: "What level do you think the Korean team's current strength belongs to in Asia?"
Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "Anyway, it must be the top five, or even the top three.
The Korean team is very strong, and I won't joke about this.
We will look forward to fighting a strong team so that we can see the gap with our opponents, just like in the last game, we gained a lot."
South Korean reporters suddenly looked shocked and asked: "Didn't the Chinese team beat the Japanese team? Do you still think that the Chinese team is far from the Japanese team?"
Situ Yunbing replied naturally: "Of course, when will the Chinese team be able to suppress the Japanese team in the whole game? I think that the Chinese team is stronger than the Japanese team. Do you think that if the Chinese team and the Japanese team play another game in a week, will the Chinese team still beat the Japanese team?"
The Korean reporter suddenly realized, but at the same time he felt a bone-chilling chill.
Chapter completed!
