Fox in the Penalty Area

The players of the Chinese team returned to their locker room, most of them were downcast, so the locker room also became quiet.

Conceding a goal towards the end of the first half hit them too hard.

Even if the head coach doesn't scold them, everyone is ashamed.

Because the ball was lost... It's really embarrassing!

It turned out to be caused by their active mistakes!

The head coach Dillon who entered the locker room saw the performance of the players and did not angrily reprimand them for conceding the ball at the end of the half. right?"

Everyone lowered their heads, the goal was indeed caused by their inattention.

Although it was Gao Ruimin who made the direct mistake, from Gao Ruimin receiving the ball to passing the ball wrong, no other player reminded him, which meant that other people's attention was not on the game either.

It may be one person or a small number of people who make mistakes, but what is reflected is indeed the problem of the whole team.

"That's why it's easiest to score goals after the start and five minutes before the end of the game. Because the players tend to lose concentration at this time. When you face a weak team, it doesn't matter if you lose concentration, because Opponents can't threaten you. So many problems are covered up. But now, when you face a strong team like Japan, if you lose your mind a little bit, you lose the ball."

Dillon said in a calm tone.

"You should be thankful that we have won the right to qualify for the World Cup ahead of time, so even if we concede a goal, it will not affect anything. But you have to know that the Japanese team is at the top level in Asia, and it is only an average level in the World Cup. The opponents you meet in the World Cup, any team, are at this level. So if you are distracted for a minute or two in the World Cup, you may concede a goal. And by that time..."

Having said that, Dillon paused, he wanted the players to listen to his words and think for themselves. So don't speak too fast and don't get too excited.

"At that point, it won't be like it is now, where it has no effect on the result. In the World Cup, every goal counts, whether it's a goal or a goal conceded. A goal can be a turning point in a game at any time. Maybe we performed very well in the first half, but because of this conceded goal at the last moment, we fell into a passive position and eventually lost the game."

After Jin Tao translated all his words, Dillon continued:

"So don't treat this game as a top-12 match or a warm-up match. From now on, you should demand yourself with the mentality of participating in the World Cup. Just treat the game in front of you as a World Cup game. How will you play? Three There are only 270 minutes in a group match, and if you lose your mind for three minutes on the court, your World Cup journey may be fixed on these 270 minutes.

"I know you did well in the group stage at the last World Cup and drew with Brazil. But do you want to keep going in the group stage? It's okay if you are not good, but in my opinion, you They are capable of reaching the knockout rounds, so are you going to be content with only playing three group games and going home?"

After Yu Jintao finished translating the words, Dillon put his hands on his hips and looked at his team members. He turned his body freely,

Let your eyes be fixed on every Chinese team player.

Under his gaze, Wang Guangwei couldn't resist standing up from his seat: "I'm not reconciled, coach. In the last World Cup, I didn't fight hard at the last moment to get out of the group, so I regretted it! And not only I am not reconciled, and I believe that everyone is also not reconciled!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at his teammates, looking for like-minded "comrades" in there.

Soon many people stood up, all of them participated in the World Cup three years ago, including the old captain Yao Huasheng.

He said: "I don't know if I can still go to Spain, but I agree with Guangwei. We can't just be satisfied with participating in the World Cup. If our team can't reach the knockout round...it would be a pity!"

Reading at midnight

Yu Jintao translated all the players' statements to Dillon, who made Dillon nod repeatedly.

"Very good, lads. It seems that we have reached a consensus. So you have to stay focused all the time during the game and don't make such low-level mistakes. Don't even think about it!"

At the end, Dillon's tone finally increased.

"You guys are doing well and doing well!"

In the locker room of the Japanese team, the translator is also translating the words of the Brazilian coach Carlisle to the Japanese players.

The old Brazilian man kept waving his arms, with vivid expressions and even more vivid body language.

"But definitely don't just be satisfied with a one-goal lead. In the second half, take advantage of the chance that they have not recovered from the blow and score another goal! Against the Chinese team, a two-goal lead is safer!"

Carlisle held up two fingers.

For him, overtaking the score at the end of the first half is actually not what he wants to see the most.

Because it would give Jorge Dillon the chance to adjust at half-time.

If he could choose, he would prefer the team to score after the kick-off in the second half.

This will not only catch the Chinese team by surprise, but also make it difficult for Dillon to make quick adjustments.

Of course, scoring a goal and overtaking the score is also a good thing.

So he still praised all the players during the halftime break and encouraged them to make persistent efforts.

"In the final analysis, there is still no nonsense! This first half is very similar to our away game against Japan a year ago! We also scored first, and then Japan equalized...but it was completely different after that! When Japan wanted to score again, We were crushed to death... Why is there such a difference? Of course, it was because we still had nonsense at that time, but not today!"

In the stands, Chinese fans chatted while waiting for the second half to start.

Conceding a goal at the end of the first half really pissed them off.

Throughout the intermission, every corner of the stands of this stadium was filled with such angry denunciations.

"All the problems are because there is no nonsense! Last time we played against Japan, the reason why we were able to withstand Japan's offense and regain the lead was not because our defense was good, but our offense was sharp enough. Our defense We don’t need to hold on for too long, and we can score goals quickly and interrupt the Japanese team’s offensive. And now there is no nonsense, we can’t interrupt them, we can only be beaten by them... It’s strange not to lose the ball!”

"I know that Dillon wants to test how the team can perform without nonsense. Well, now that the results have come out, it turns out that it really can't work without nonsense. So next time, don't play around? Well this time we have already qualified ahead of schedule, otherwise we wouldn’t have been played to death?”

"I think Dillon's military training is equivalent to reminding our opponents-look, the Chinese team without Hu Lai is a tiger without teeth! From then on, they only need to freeze Hu Lai, and they can easily beat us..."

"I don't agree with this. How can Hu Lai be frozen so easily? It's not the first day that our opponents know how powerful Hu Lai is, so we need to be reminded? But have they really prevented Hu Lai? So don't worry. Instead Worrying about Hu Lai being frozen is better than worrying about Hu Lai getting hurt..."

"Using the little Japanese to train soldiers... It really is a foreign commander. That is to say, the foreign commander does not understand the grievances between us and Japan. If this is replaced by a native commander, if he dares to do this, he will just leave get out of class and get out!"

"I also wanted to see that little Japan couldn't even participate in the World Cup finals... But I didn't expect that the Chinese team would let the water go in this game! Sigh!"

"Come on, let's practice first." Li Qingqing clasped five fingers and put them in front of Hu Lai's mouth, "If the Chinese team loses the game, a reporter will ask you what you think of the result after the game, how would you answer?"

Hu Lai refused to answer this question: "We'll wait until we really lose."

"What if a reporter makes an issue of you not being in the national team?"

"I'm definitely on the side of the team and the coach. When Dillon told me the reasons for not recruiting me, I agreed as soon as I heard it. I didn't have any opinions at all. If there are rumors on the Internet, Those who provoke dissension, I will definitely come out and clarify as soon as possible."

Seeing what Hu Lai said, Li Qingqing laughed: "I will forward it for you when the time comes."

Hu Lai waved his hand: "No need, no need, the shit about our men's football..."

"Your business is mine." Li Qingqing shook her head and said firmly.

Hu Lai still wanted to persuade him, he really didn't want Li Qingqing to be scolded along with him.

But when he thought about how he supported his father before, he couldn't say the words of refusal.

In the end he said: "But I don't think I need to say anything in the end. We may not lose to the Japanese team. I still believe in Brother Huan and the others."
