Chapter 328 Wansheng's Language Art

According to the plan, the next day, the whole Hong Kong team flew to Jakarta, Indonesia.

After checking in at the hotel arranged by the AFC and everything was sorted out, in the afternoon, all the team members went to the preparation grounds for adaptive training.

Now the team has taken the last step, and taking another step forward is the championship. Stopping here is not what Wan Sheng wants. Although outsiders say that it is already a miracle that Hong Kong can reach the final, the championship is the ultimate goal. Wan Sheng will never allow the team to stop here. For him, winning the runner-up is equivalent to failure, and the championship is what he wants.

Wan Sheng told all the players that they must continue to prepare for training with a serious attitude, "The more critical the moment comes, the less they cannot relax!"

This is an experience derived from repeated experiences.

Often, the more critical the team reaches the semi-finals and the finals, some players will relax their mentality. They will think that the result is already quite good, and even if they lose in the final, it is nothing. Especially for Hong Kong, China, the result of entering the final is a miracle. After another game, they will reach the moment of "harvest", so their mentality will be relaxed, and they will not do serious work in preparation for training.

Some players will become very nervous, and the closer the game will be.

Most of these people who feel nervous are the main players. Because they have to participate in the finals that many fans pay attention to, they will inevitably play, but they have no corresponding experience, so they become very nervous.

Whether relaxed or nervous, it is a very bad mental state. Wansheng must do some work and adjust the players' mentality so that the team can welcome the finals in the best state.

But at this time, there was news that was unfavorable to preparations for Hong Kong, China. Diamares, the assistant coach who was mainly responsible for leading the team training, left.

Diamaresde is very important in preparation training in Hong Kong, China, but Diamares must leave. Because coaching Hong Kong, China is not Wan Sheng’s main job, and the head coach of Manchester City Club is Wan Sheng’s main identity.

At the end of July, Manchester City Club also began training together. As the head coach of Hong Kong, Wan Sheng must coach the last final. Diamares, as the assistant coach, must return to Manchester City Club to help prepare for the pre-season.

Wan Sheng is not very worried about Manchester City's collection training.

In two seasons, the whole Manchester City team has become a stalwart. Except for the new players in a few summers, other players have adapted to the team's tactics. The beginning stage of preparing for training is basically to do some physical recovery and state recovery training. Wan Sheng only needs to arrange some personal training work.

However, Pierce alone has to shoulder all the preparation and training work, so he is too busy. So Wan Sheng can only let Diamares go so that he doesn't have to worry about his early preparations for Manchester City club.

Diamares' departure still had a certain impact on China's preparations for the finals. Many of the previous work needed to be shared by Borgkamp and Fan Zhiyi.

In terms of professional team-leading training, Borgkamp and Fan Zhiyi can only be regarded as new players. They are retired stars, but in terms of team-leading training, they still have too little experience, they are not professional, and there are still many things to learn. It is difficult for both of them to do the work left by Diamares, so Wan Sheng still has to personally guide the team's training, and his work has become much heavier.

There is nothing to say about the training that afternoon, it is nothing more than to let the team adapt to the venue, adjust their mentality and state, and prepare to start preparing for the final final.

When the training was over and the disbanded, Wan Sheng received news from the staff, and many media reporters wanted to interview the preparation training in Hong Kong, China.

This news is nothing special. Media reporters have always hoped to interview the preparation training in Hong Kong, China, but Wan Sheng never agreed. There were many reporters coming this time, as well as major influential domestic and international media. Wan Sheng had to pay attention to it.

If he considers the team's finals alone, there is naturally nothing to say. He will definitely refuse any interview requests, but what he needs to consider is the Hong Kong Football Association, or the development of Hong Kong Football, which seems to have nothing to do with him. However, while leading the team to achieve good results, it will give Hong Kong Football more attention and make Hong Kong Football better development. It doesn't matter if he can do some things easily. So Wan Sheng announced that the training will be open to the public the next day.

This news made the media reporters who came to interview very happy, especially the Central TV column team. They just wanted to do a "Hong Kong Miracle" program and shoot some photos of training in Hong Kong in China. It is a must-do. Wan Sheng can agree to the interview.

Wan Sheng is still very considerate of domestic and Hong Kong media. After all, they are all Chinese, and the Chinese Hong Kong team is also supported by domestic and Hong Kong media.

Therefore, Wansheng has specially opened a privilege for several domestic and Hong Kong media with great influence. They can enter the training ground to shoot at will in the next few days. Of course, the premise is that they cannot interfere with the team's normal preparation and training.

Media in other countries do not have this treatment.

This distinctive leadership has aroused dissatisfaction among many foreign media. They have raised various doubts, but Wan Sheng ignored this at all. No matter what the media said, it has no impact on his decision.

When a reporter questioned, "Why should we treat it differently?"

Wan Sheng only said one sentence, "I have the right to decide which media to enter the training ground to shoot interviews, and also have the right to prohibit which media to enter. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the AFC to complain to me."

He doesn't care at all.

This attitude angered many media reporters. Unfortunately, Wan Sheng didn't even look at what they reported. As for complaining to the AFC, let alone the result, Wan Sheng will definitely not continue to coach Hong Kong, China, and the AFC will not be able to control it at all!

Media reporters gritted their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.

Wan Sheng didn't care about that, so he carefully guided the team to prepare for the game.

After the day of training, Wan Sheng asked the whole team to gather and look at the players in front of him. He talked about the team's current results, "The day before yesterday, we defeated South Korea and advanced to the Asian Cup final. In that game, all of you performed very well."

This was the first time Wan Sheng publicly praised the player after that semi-final.

Some players were very happy, but they wondered why the coach would talk about this two days later. Then, Wan Sheng's voice turned around and said seriously, "But we have not yet reached the moment of success! Do you remember what I said when the team first gathered? My goal is not to qualify in the group, but to focus on the championship! Many people at that time thought that we regarded winning the championship as a goal, just a joke, because we are just the last-rate team in Asia, but now? We have reached the finals!"

"But it is not the goal to reach the final, winning the final is the key!"

"You all know what the outside world is saying. It's already a miracle that he can make it to the finals, but now, I tell you. No."

"We are at least second in the finals, but until now, we are still just dark horses! Do you know what a dark horse is? Don't treat this word as a praise. In the 1998 World Cup, Croatia was the dark horse, and they won the 'good' result of third place; in the 2002 World Cup, Turkey was the dark horse, and they also won the 'good' result of third place. There are many major competitions in history, and some dark horse teams have appeared. Their final results are amazing, but they are just dark horses, why?"

Many players are stuck in thinking.

Wan Sheng didn't make them think for long. Continuing, "In the 2004 European Cup, Greece performed very well. They defeated the championship to the end and won the championship with strong strength. So is Greece a dark horse?"

"No! They are called 'miracle'!"

"The reason why dark horses are called dark horses is because they only scored surprising results but did not win the final championship. Only the championship can be called a miracle."

"Do you all understand?"

Wan Sheng concluded, "If we stop here and eventually fall into the final, the outside world will think that we have achieved good results and we will be the biggest dark horse in this Asian Cup, but if we win the final and defeat Saudi Arabia to win the championship, then we will no longer be the dark horse, but the miracle of Hong Kong!"

"Hong Kong miracle, what a wonderful word. Do you want to be a dark horse in the Asian Cup or create miracles? Tell me the answer!"

There is no doubt that almost all players shouted the word "miracle".

No one wants to fall in the finals, no one wants to become a dark horse, miracles are what everyone wants to chase.

After Wan Sheng's detailed explanation, the players hope to defeat Saudi Arabia and win the Asian Cup. Just as Wan Sheng said, after winning the championship, many people will describe this Asian Cup as the "Hong Kong Miracle", and as the creators of miracles, they will also feel a huge sense of honor.

They all have a lot of desire for the championship.

That night, Central TV and Phoenix TV both made detailed reports on Hong Kong preparations for war with the title "Dark Horse and Miracle".

In the report, they all praised Wan Sheng's words and affirmed the spirit of Hong Kong, China, to create miracles.

"In the interview, we can see that from top to bottom, Hong Kong, China is full of fighting spirit of progress and progress. Every member of the team has devoted 100% of his energy to training. No one has talked about past games, and no one has talked about the upcoming matches with Saudi Arabia. Everyone is training as required."

"Before, we knew that Hong Kong, China, was just a last-rate team in Asia, but after really in-depth interviews, we realized that there are still many things to learn from in this team."

While the host reported, there were also training videos from Hong Kong, China, as well as some pictures of Wan Sheng, Borgkamp and Fan Zhiyi guiding the team in Hong Kong training.

These are the first reports from media reporters.

There was no media before, and the preparations for Hong Kong were able to close up, so that the preparations for Hong Kong in China have always been a mystery. Now fans are enjoying it.

After the report, the finals in Hong Kong, China also received more public support.

However, in public opinion, Saudi Arabia is not to be outdone. When news of "swearing to win the championship" broke out in Hong Kong, China, Saudi head coach Anjos soon accepted an interview.

In the media's opinion, this final will be a contest between the team with the most goals and the team with the fewest goals conceded in this Asian Cup.

Saudi Arabia scored a total of 12 goals in the previous five games, making it the team with the strongest attack power; China Hong Kong only lost two goals in the game against Iraq, while the other four games were not lost in one goal, making it the team with the least goals conceded.

So Saudi head coach Anjos said, "I will let the team continue to use its usual offensive football to deal with the 'steel line' of Hong Kong's China."

"The Saudi team will never be conservative. The Saudi team is a team that likes attacking. We will use offensive football to deal with Hong Kong, China, just like the Japanese team. This will be a very exciting technical game."

Anjos promised generously.

Many West Asian media believe that Hong Kong will not pose too much threat to Saudi Arabia. The only thing to pay attention to is not to let Hong Kong in "sneak attack". In the semi-finals against Australia and South Korea, both teams lost because of a goal being "sneak attack" by Hong Kong in China.

As long as you are not "sneak-attacked" and ensure that the goal does not concede inexplicably, Saudi Arabia can win the game. Because there is indeed a gap between China and Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia.

Anjos said cautiously. "This is the final, and the final is often very difficult. The final is a life and death, and the accidental factors are very large. Some people say it makes sense, but there are too many uncontrollable factors for football games. I hope the team can win, but we still need to be cautious."

Anjos hopes that Saudi Arabia can have more championships, so that Saudi Arabia will become the first team to win four championships in Asian Cup history, and he will also be recorded in the history of Saudi football.

Soon Wansheng also stood up.

This time it was not an interview with the media, but he took the initiative to stand up. Facing the match against Saudi Arabia, the chance of winning head-on is not as great as expected, so he needs to do something to make the team more hopeful to win.

Judging from Wan Sheng’s experience, the game is not only a game, but also a competition between the inside and outside the court is also very important. For example, the media’s public opinion may affect the players’ hearts and their performance will be affected.

This time, Wansheng explained to the media what the language art of top famous coaches is.

Amid the media reporters, Wan Sheng praised Saudi Arabia's performance with a smile, and praised their offensive ability, especially the ability of forward Kakhtani.

Yashir Kahtani is the best player on the Saudi forward line. He showed his talent on the football field very early.

In 2000, 17-year-old Kakhtani joined the Saudi Caticia Football Club. However, in the five years of Caticia, he had not had a good life. He only played 38 games and scored 19 goals, but his talent has been appreciated by everyone.

In 2002, Kakhtani became a Saudi international before he was less than 20 years old.

In 2003, he represented Saudi Arabia in the Gulf Cup, and Yashir Kakhtani helped the team win the championship with continuous goals. The success of the national team made him gradually popular. After two seasons of bargaining. In 2005, the Saudi giant Hilar team introduced Kakhtani for US$5.3 million, setting a transfer record in the Saudi league. This record has not been broken so far. Kakhtani is currently the most valuable player in Saudi Arabia.

The deal by boss Hilar is done appropriately. From 2005 to the present, Kakhtani has scored 48 goals in 95 games of the club, making him the team's number one scorer. With his continuous growth in the league, Kakhtani's position in Saudi Arabia has become increasingly strong. In the 2006 World Cup, he broke through the national football team.

So far in this Asian Cup, Kakhtani has helped Saudi Arabia score four goals, ranking first in the scorer list.

For Saudi opponents, Kakhtani must pay attention to it.

Wan Sheng talked about Kakhtani, "I admire him very much. I think he is the best scorer in this Asian Cup."

This sentence immediately made the Saudi media happy. They declared with great excitement that "Wan Sheng is likely to have a fancy to Yashir. In the summer, Riashir is likely to transfer to Manchester City and successfully enter the European League." Considering Manchester City's identity as the defending champion of the Premier League and his ability to directly participate in the European Champions League, if Yashir can perform well, he is likely to become a world-renowned big star.

After praising Saudi Arabia's offense and opponent's forward players, Wan Sheng talked about Saudi Arabia's weaknesses, "Their defense is a problem. There is a saying in football that says 'Defense wins'. I think the key point for us to defeat Saudi Arabia is the opponent's defense."

Then Wan Sheng talked about the game, "In this game, I will let the team play beautiful offensive football, which is my old job. Recently, I have been making the team adapt to a new offensive method, which will make the team look new. I think with the team's offensive ability, it is not a problem to break through Saudi Arabia's goalkeeper. The key point of the game lies in the extent to which Saudi Arabia's defense can achieve, and what we need to consider is offense."

Wan Sheng’s words were very confusing, making people wonder what they said after hearing them.

However, the media quickly analyzed each word one by one and believed that what Wan Sheng said was very reasonable. Saudi Arabia's advantage lies in offense, so what they need to pay attention to is defense, and China and Hong Kong's advantage lies in defense, so they need to pay attention to offense.

Considering Wan Sheng's always-leading style and Manchester City's gorgeous offensive football, many media believe that "this game is likely to become a technical football confrontation!"

"In terms of real confrontation, Saudi Arabia has an advantage in strength, but Wansheng has always been good at creating miracles, and Saudi Arabia is not 100% sure to win."

“Now we can look forward to the game.”

After analyzing Wan Sheng's remarks, many media reported Wan Sheng's evaluation of Saudi striker Yahl, and believed that Yahl would likely transfer to Manchester City and officially land in Europe.
