The battle for Lin Yi is a complete secret war. Except for England, no one has made a public statement. Most of the time, the head coaches still maintain a positive appreciation for Lin Yi, but no one has really started to take action. Everyone must be cautious.

The national team coach is like this. There are always many things to consider, and every decision is treading on thin ice.

One reason is that there are still many excellent players in their own country who want to get on the World Cup train. Everyone is breaking their heads to enter the national team. Now if they easily recruit outsiders, they will inevitably consider the ideas and tolerance of their own players, and they must give an explanation to the domestic clubs.

Especially those traditional strong teams, there are many excellent players emerging in their leagues every year, not to mention that their players are already very strong, so there is indeed a lot of competition.

Even those head coaches themselves don’t know who to use in the end. Anyway, they have no time to make mistakes. Otherwise, once there is a problem, those forgotten players will definitely be brought up.

Reporters have long been accustomed to torturing those poor coaches with such routines. Anyway, you must bring all the excellent players. If you miss one, you may be committing a crime.

But everyone knows that the personnel of each team is limited. Even the Chinese national team sometimes misses some players and cannot participate in the game, let alone strong teams like Italy or Germany.

Originally, those domestic clubs are the major players of the national team, especially Spain. Most of the players come from Real Madrid and Barcelona. You must consider the interests of these two clubs. Otherwise, as a coach of the national team, you may face the backlash of such a big club.

This is not sensational news. It is no longer news that the national team is subject to those big clubs. Before every international match day, the national team has to compete with the club for the right to use.

People like Lampard often face the dilemma of whether to participate in the national team or club games.

This cannot be blamed on these people, it is just because everyone faces their own pressure. Those who are the head coaches of the national team have much more pressure than those club coaches. They have to bear the expectations of a country's fans. They have to think twice before making every decision.

Even Mourinho said privately that he least expected to be the head coach of the national team. Compared with the club, the national team has less room for free choice. You have to weigh a lot of unnecessary things, which are often not needed in the game. It is simply too troublesome.

Not only do you have to balance the interests of domestic clubs, but you also have to consider the attitude of the top leaders of the Football Association. It can be said that the coach of a wealthy club is not a job for humans, so the head coach of the national team is even more pressure that ordinary people can bear. Those who can persist on this are a group of non-humans.

Mourinho himself said, "I would rather find the most difficult challenge in a big team than to serve as the head coach of the national team. Now I have a lot of gray hair from worrying about the team. If I go to the national team, I may enter aging early."

Even Jacquet, who led the French team to win the World Cup in his home country, chose to retire immediately after winning the World Cup and never touch anything about the national team again. He would rather be just a TV commentator than consider coming out again to save the French team in distress.

Even if the French Football Association had discussed with him about leaving the team, Jacquet responded very straightforwardly, that is, he would never take up the national team coaching position again, because he knew very well that no matter how glorious he had been, as long as he made a mistake, he might be spurned by all French fans. It is better to wisely retreat at the most glorious time than to end up with an unfortunate fate of being cursed for all eternity. This time Pereira coaching the Brazilian team is actually a very risky move.

It is estimated that there are not a few people who share the same idea as Jacquet. This is the fate of the head coach of the national team. If they can win the trophy of the big competition, they are the omnipotent God. If they are not careful, then their fate will be irreparable. It is not as simple as being fired from the club.

Many fans of the national team need the sense of honor of the country. As long as they don't win this game, they may stand in the stands and curse. The national team's game is not like the league. They can rely on the sprint in the back to make up for the previous debt. Once they lose, it is a tragedy.

No one dared to take action against Lin Yi's problem this time, because this time the European zone of the World Cup qualifiers has simply evolved into a multi-national melee. Except for the Netherlands and Croatia, which can now guarantee that they will qualify as the group leader, the rest of the teams have been in a hard fight.

What traditional strong teams, what champions, in the European zone, no matter what team has been fighting hard recently, even an inconspicuous third-rate team here may cause you trouble. This is the European qualifiers, and anything may happen here, including capsizing in the gutter.

In particular, those traditional strong teams have been obviously collectively weak recently, and their condition is not particularly good.

The Greek team, which had just staged a dark horse legend in the 2004 European Cup, has completely faded this time. They are now ranked fourth in the group after Denmark, Ukraine and Turkey. Although they are only four points away from the first Ukraine, the situation is already precarious.

Even the always tough German coach Rehhagel said helplessly to reporters, "The players may still be immersed in the joy of winning the European Cup and have not woken up. We have one draw and two losses in the first three games. This bad start makes us now only an unlucky chaser."

"If we want to enter the World Cup in the end, maybe we can only hope for a miracle. In the remaining five games, we will try our best to get about ten points, so that we may have a chance to participate in the play-offs." Rehhagel is now making the worst plan.

It cannot be said that winning the European Cup made the Greek team dizzy, but when everyone started to pay attention to it, it was indeed difficult to gain an advantage in the game with their simple tactical arrangements. Everyone knows that the Greek team's high-altitude bombing is very dangerous, so everyone will pay attention to the cross ball.

Originally, the Greek team did not have any strong midfield organizers. They could still have some advantages in physical confrontation, but once many people began to pay attention to them, this advantage became a disadvantage. This is a congenital defect. Even Rehhagel could not save the Greeks' rough personal skills.

However, looking at Ukraine, which has recently started to start madly under Shevchenko's leadership, no matter who is in this group, there is no absolute strength that surpasses the opponent, only Ukraine has an advantage.

Maybe Rehhagel is now considering those unreasonable curses, such as the team that won the European Cup did not have any good results in the next World Cup, but his team's performance in this qualifying round was surprisingly bad, and he might not even pass the qualifying round.

If the Greek team is in an embarrassing situation, then the Italians are also having a hard time. The team led by the experienced Lippi did not get rid of the pursuers in the group stage. They are even only one point ahead of the second-placed Norwegian team, and they still have a game to play in Norway.

The descendants of the Vikings have already said that no matter who it is, as long as they dare to come to Norway, they will let the other party peel off a layer of skin. This really cannot be sloppy. With the unscrupulous bandit character of those Nordic people, Italy will definitely have trouble on this away trip.

Norway's rough playing style will definitely make the Italians experience what barbarism is.

Italy is still good, just in trouble. At least they can still keep a draw away from home. Maybe the situation will be a little ugly at that time. Anyway, Lippi's team has never paid attention to those problems. They just need to keep the lead. Italian football is hard to look good.

Compared with Italy still leading in the group, the Spanish, who have always been known as the king of the qualifiers, are embarrassed this time. At the beginning of the qualifiers, they had a very embarrassing record of three wins and three draws. This performance directly affected their possibility of competing with Serbia and Montenegro for the top spot in the group.

Perhaps the Champions League matches and the fierce competition in the league have completely exhausted the physical strength of the players of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Anyway, the defense led by Puyol and Casillas has become full of loopholes and mistakes when facing the impact of Belgium and Bosnia.

Even Aragones, the old coach who is known as a wise man, couldn't help but aim his guns at this damn schedule. "Players need to play more and more games every season, which has seriously damaged their physical fitness. When they come to the national team, they are often in a state of fatigue. I really can't ask them to do more, but in this state, there is really no way to do better when facing opponents. I understand them. This is the reality. You can't take care of too much."

Although he said he understood, everyone could hear his dissatisfaction from the Spanish coach's speech. Even if these Spanish players are talented, they have to fight against the opponent in a tired state. I am afraid that even they themselves know how difficult it is.

But this is modern football. More and more games are inevitable, especially for those big teams. They have to play more than a dozen games or even more games every season than before. The players' bodies are also gradually becoming mechanized, otherwise it is really difficult to support a season of battle.

For a team like Chelsea that fights on three fronts, if they make it all the way to the Champions League final, they may not have a chance to rest until the end of May, and the national team's games often continue during this period. Those players who have fought for a season have to continue to fight hard.

To expect a good performance under such circumstances, the players can only maintain their own state as much as possible, or have a heart to fight for the country, otherwise those unlucky coaches can only watch a group of extremely tired players running powerlessly on the field.

Italy and Spain are all due to the players' state and bad luck. Compared with them, the French fans are now targeting Domenech, who is getting more and more unpleasant. Now the French team is still behind Switzerland in points and can only rank second in the group!

This is probably a fact that no French fan can tolerate. Does the French team, as European champions and World Cup champions, still have to participate in the play-offs? And they are still being suppressed by Switzerland. No matter who it is, they can't bear it. Many people are clamoring to replace Domenech.

"That guy is a fool. He put all the meritorious players of Zidane aside and insisted on creating a new lineup. If his lineup can win, we won't say anything, but look at how bad he is now. Show it, he is going to bring the great French team to hell!”

It can be said that if Makelele and others did not run desperately in the midfield, the French team might have suffered defeats when facing Israel and Ireland. However, the embarrassing draws and ugly scenes made Domenech's lineup reform Controversial, many people ostracized him.

Domenech may have become accustomed to such criticism, because French newspapers are full of such news every day. However, in the face of the pressure of performance, this person who has always been known as a die-hard has also begun to know how to adapt. He is trying to Recall Zidane in the name of the national team.

It is estimated that this guy also knows that if it is in his own name, Zidane may not pay attention to him. Only in the name of the country and the fans can he impress the soul of the French national team. But with this choice, Domenech is undoubtedly the winner. He slapped himself hard.

Recalling the old players and denying his own tactical adjustments, although he would not admit defeat, everyone has seen that this unlucky guy has completely lost the courage to reform. Now he can only rely on those old guys to fight for the French team. Can make the final effort to overtake the Swiss team.

And England's situation is not much better than that of France. In the first six games, they were inextricably locked with the Polish team. Now Eriksson is waiting for Lin Yi's life-saving straw. Otherwise, he will not be able to win. I can guarantee that the team I lead will also go to the playoffs.

Originally, the Portuguese team was on a smooth road, but just when Scolari was hesitant to recruit Lin Yi, they hit a wall in the games with Slovakia and Estonia. In order to enter the World Cup, the Slovaks Already desperate, they managed to draw with Portugal at home.

Portugal was originally the second-ranked opponent in the group. Scolari did not have too many regrets about the draw in the away game. However, in the next road trip, facing Estonia, a third-rate team in Europe, Portugal scored 17 points in the game. All the shots missed the target, and no goals were scored.

Pauleta even missed two good opportunities in a row to face a mostly empty goal. No wonder after the game, many Estonian media said that we were able to win a draw because there were still Pauleta. The existence of a number one defender like Leta is really difficult for this guy.

"Comrade, you have worked really hard for being undercover for so many years." The Estonian player who asked Pauleta to change his jersey after the game definitely had this look on his face at that time, which made Pauleta really proud. Embarrassing, he was already depressed enough, but this time he was completely speechless.

Estonia used its tenacious defense to steal a point from the Portuguese team at home. Although this did not help whether they appeared or not, it did not prevent the Estonian players from cheering after the game as if they were celebrating a championship. This made the Portuguese team The players were very embarrassed.

Scolari also refused any interview request after the game, even if he had to pay a fine. The tough old Brazilian admitted it. He did not attend the press conference, but took the players on the bus with a black face. God knows. Will this old man suddenly break out on his return journey?

However, many Portuguese media have begun to worry about the upcoming games. Now Russia and Slovakia are only three points away from Portugal. With four rounds left on the schedule, will the originally stable qualifying situation be affected by this? The two games were draws, and the qualification for the restart was variable.

At this time, many people have begun to encourage Scolari to consider Lin Yi's issue again in newspapers and TV. After all, in these two games, the already weak striker was really weak. Pauleta's The state has always been like that, ups and downs, and not good at fighting tough battles.

Once the opponent forms a defensive position, it is almost unrealistic to use Pauleta to open the opponent's door. The only way is to rely on Figo, Deco and others to find a way in the midfield. If Lin Yi's guerrillas are added at this time, It may make Portugal's midfield more penetrating and more guaranteed to score goals.

Scolari still maintained his tough attitude. He had only one response to those reporters and critics, "My team now has enough personnel. This situation will not happen again in the qualifiers a month later. As for Lin Yi, he is within my consideration range, but I haven’t decided yet.”

However, at this moment, Lin Yi, the person involved, disappeared from the public eye, including Chelsea's training ground. Only Mendes and Mourinho knew Lin Yi's whereabouts.

In such a chaotic environment, there is no need to continue to let that kid stand in front of the public to attract firepower. Let those guys fight. Mourinho's recovery training tailored for Lin Yi has just begun. When those people While all eyes were focused on London, Lin Yi had already returned to Portugal.

While the reporters were still looking for Lin Yi's whereabouts, he was already standing on a private training ground.

This is the place Mourinho prepared for him. Mendes spent tens of thousands of euros to rent it. In the following month, this is where Lin Yi struggled.

Now, in front of Lin Yi, in addition to Faria, there are two other people. When Lin Yi saw the other party, the boy couldn't help but let a smile appear on his face. . .
