After the group stage, the Chinese team had almost a week of rest.
This period of time was neither long nor short, and was a bit awkward.
Let's go back, it's a bit too much tossing and turning;
I couldn't just do physical training if I didn't go back. Later, I contacted a school and was able to borrow their playground, so I decided not to go back.
Of course, these have nothing to do with the team members. What does have to do with them is that on the first day of the Lunar New Year... there is no need to train at all!
On this day, they can sleep, eat, play games as they please, as long as they don't leave the hotel.
When the girls got the news, they cheered at first, but then they were dumbfounded when the day came.
The coach has no more arrangements, so I can move freely. What should I do?
Wang Yajing and Zhang Sheng still went to practice, and Wu Xinxin also got up with her head held high - Xu Aidi didn't get up. The poor girl had never touched alcohol, and that little bit of fruit wine made her feel dazed. She was very excited the night before and made a fuss until midnight, and then she couldn't get up this morning.
They were practicing when Zheng Weifeng and Coach Ni came. Wu Xinxin felt her scalp tingling when she saw Zheng Weifeng, and Zheng Weifeng was also surprised when he saw her: "What a rare guest."
Wu Xinxin's face froze and she laughed.
Zheng Weifeng ignored her and looked at Zhang Sheng and Wang Yijing: "You two are not listening at this time."
The two were stunned. Zheng Weifeng didn't say anything else. He just waved his hand and walked away.
Wang Yijing and Zhang Sheng looked at each other in bewilderment. Wang Yijing said, "Captain, what does Coach Zheng mean?"
Zhang Sheng thought about it and shook his head.
Over there, Coach Ni was also asking Zheng Weifeng, who raised his eyes and said, “You don’t know?”
Coach Ni thought for a moment and said, "Your words are too vague. The kids... haven't thought much about it yet."
"Aren't you still here?"
Coach Ni was speechless, thinking that you could clearly explain it, so why did you ask me to come over? However, she did not ask any more questions, because she knew that Zheng Weifeng would have other words waiting for her if she asked.
Zhang Sheng and Wang Yijing actually came to ask. They were always a little timid when facing Zheng Weifeng, but they were very comfortable in front of Coach Ni. Wu Xinxin was very jealous of this earlier: "You guys come to the national team and you can follow the head coach!"
Wang Yijing laughed very arrogantly: "Our Lao Ni is capable!"
"Our old..." Wu Xinxin wanted to say that her head coach was also very capable, but then she thought about it and didn't say it out loud.
Coach Ni is mainly responsible for physical fitness, which may seem nothing special, but her training levels are very methodical. What to practice today, which exercise to practice, and what effect you hope to achieve, all are clearly stated. Their coach is really lacking.
After the two finished their training that day, they went to Coach Ni's room. When he saw them coming, Coach Ni smiled. Wang Yijing leaned over and said, "Old Ni..."
Coach Ni pushed her head aside and said, "Your coach Zheng had already guessed that you two would come."
"Huh? Huh!" Wang Yijing's eyes flickered.
Coach Ni didn't look at her, and said to Zhang Sheng, "What were you thinking when you scored that goal against the Myanmar team?"
Zhang Sheng was stunned: "There was no chance to pass the ball at that time."
"Why not?"
"Fan Xin's position is not good, Wang Yijing..." Zhang Sheng stopped here.
"Have you figured it out?"
Zhang Sheng nodded slowly.
Wang Yijing looked left and right: "What? What?"
Coach Ni patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay if you don't know."
Wang Yajing looked at her sadly, but Coach Ni said nothing more.
On the way back, Wang Yijing kept asking Zhang Sheng. Zhang Sheng didn't want to say anything, but the little princess Wang was always good at acting like a spoiled child. Zhang Sheng couldn't get enough of her, so he asked, "Do you still remember that elimination?"
"Uh-huh."
"Do you remember the selection criteria that Coach Zheng mentioned earlier?"
Wang Yijing thought for a moment: "I remember saying that we should know how to highlight ourselves while cooperating with the team?"
"Well, what else?"
Wang Yijing frowned, and there are... there are many more! Zheng Weifeng talks a lot to them every day, and he talked a lot to them that day too... Oh, no, they were connected...
"Win the game?" she asked tentatively. Zhang Sheng nodded, "You know it, right?"
Wang Yijing was originally happy that she guessed correctly, but now she felt sad. She pulled Zhang Sheng's hand and said, "Captain——"
Zhang Sheng almost laughed out loud: "Think about what Coach Zheng asked of us this time..."
"Captain, please don't be like this, otherwise I'll always feel like there's something wrong with my IQ. Just tell me directly."
Zhang Sheng flicked her head and said, "Think about it. It will be good for you."
Wang Yijing touched the place where she was hit and started thinking. This time, Zheng Weifeng's requirements for them were very restrictive and a bit risky. Although the Burmese team was really not good enough, they couldn't do this or that...
Wang Yijing suddenly thought of something, and then her eyes widened. She looked at Zhang Sheng, somewhat unbelieving, but the latter nodded to her.
Wang Yijing patted her head, thinking that this was not right. Shouldn't she just follow whatever the coach said?
Wang Yijing has always been a good child.
To use a familiar joke, although she is spoiled, weak, incompetent and without goals, she is well-behaved.
Of course, that’s in the past. Since her rebirth, she has gradually found her goal. Even if the system is removed, it cannot be said that she has no ability. However, the word "obedient" has been with her for more than 20 years, so she has never thought of being unobedient. Especially when it comes to football, she doesn't know enough about it and doesn't understand much, so of course she just does whatever the coach says.
Moreover, soccer is not like basketball. The basketball coach can stop the game at any time and give detailed instructions. In soccer, the coach can only give general guidelines most of the time.
So the requirements are not too much, and then, how can you not listen?
This is something that Princess Wang would never have thought of in the past, but when she thinks about it now, the answer is yes.
Yes, you don’t have to listen. If you can win the game by not listening, then you don’t have to listen.
"Then why didn't Coach Zheng just say it directly?"
Zhang Sheng glanced at her and suddenly smiled mischievously: "Well, actually, I think you'd better pretend that Coach Zheng didn't say this to us."
Wang Yijing didn't understand at first, but then she realized what was going on and shouted, "Coach Zheng said it! Coach Zheng said it to both of us! This means that when necessary, I can also disobey her!"
Zhang Sheng laughed out loud.
The two of them had a quarrel and never mentioned it again. They already knew that some things cannot be explained. Most of the time, the head coach's arrangements must be carried out to the end. What if the head coach is wrong? Then you can definitely prove that you are right, right? As for why Zheng Weifeng would find them and give them some pointers...it was probably because they had the ability to change the game.
Even so, Coach Ni only talked about the last ball and did not mention anything else.
It's a bit crazy to hone the team in international competitions, but it will be beneficial in the long run. They still have two games ahead of them. Although the first one may be easy, the final will definitely be difficult! Another trial like this will be more beneficial for the following games.
Well, at this time, the Chinese team all thought that their next opponent would be either Thailand or North Korea.
North Korea is also considered a strong team. Although it cannot be said to be particularly strong, it is also among the top teams.
Thailand is a bit weak and can only be considered a strong team in Southeast Asia, but they are at home!
Therefore, it is very likely that they will defeat North Korea and qualify as the second in the group.
As for South Korea...is there any need to say more? That must be the first one!
Although anything can happen in football, the South Korean team is strong. It's like asking them to play against North Korea and Thailand. Can they beat them?
Are you kidding!
That’s what they thought, but in the end, they were all shocked - the South Korean team ranked second in the group!
When playing against North Korea, the South Korean team only got a draw!
Then, the North Korean team took first place in the group thanks to the goal difference!
"Are we going to play against South Korea?"
"It seems so."
“A football is really round.”
…
This result was beyond everyone's expectations, but that's football.
They didn't know that in the imperial capital thousands of miles away, two girls were cheering for them.
After so many years, there is still no current affairs update on the website of the Football Association. Now... there is just a webpage, and when you click on it, there is almost no content.
Some Chinese Super League clubs do have their own websites, but they usually only publish news related to themselves. So although Gao Lele and Chai Xiaoxiao paid close attention, they were unable to find any information about Wang Yijing and her team's latest matches online. The two girls could only console each other: "Japan and Australia have both won, so Myanmar can't bring any more!"
Their roommate Hu Xiaoqing was amused when she saw this: "You two didn't bring back many local specialties from your trip to Thailand, but you did gain a new hobby."
“Football is so cool!”
“Especially women’s soccer!”
Hu Xiaoqing shrugged her shoulders and said nothing more. One day, she went to meet her blind date and when she came back, she suddenly saw a report in the newspaper and brought it back to the two of them.
That was the magazine where Jiang Hua worked. The cover showed Zhang Sheng’s kick into the goal, and the title was, Chinese women’s football U19 team ranked first in the group!
When Hu Xiaoqing put this in front of Gao Chai and the other person, they were stunned at first, and then they all cheered.
“I knew they could do it!”
"That's a must!"
The two of them jumped and danced hand in hand. Hu Xiaoqing watched from the side, then lowered her head to look at the cover. The girl on the cover pursed her lips slightly and had a firm look in her eyes. She couldn't help but smile.
That’s great, she thought.
She couldn't explain exactly why it was good, but she just felt that it was really good.
As time went by, the Chinese women's football team qualified as the first in the group, and this gradually became known to some people.
Some people don’t feel anything after knowing it, some people will be a little surprised after knowing it, and of course, there are also some people who will be excited and cheer happily after knowing it. No matter what it is, the most critical thing for the Chinese team at this time is the next opponent.
"This game is not easy." Outside the field, Brother Wei was smoking and talking to Jiang Hua, who nodded.
Looking only at the rankings, the South Korean team is slightly worse than the Japanese team, but not by much.
The reason why the Chinese team won last time was that they caught the Japanese team by surprise. They could all imagine what the Japanese team was thinking when facing Wang Yajing's goal - the first one was a lucky shot! It turned out to be a lucky ball! Second, the Chinese team was really lucky this time! The third one...isn't it luck? !
If the Japanese team had known Wang Yijing from the beginning, their deployment would have been different.
And the South Korean team definitely knows it!
"It would be better if Wang Yijing's dribbling ability was better." Brother Wei said.
"That's no problem." Although Jiang Hua admitted that Brother Wei was right, he had more confidence in Wang Yijing.
Brother Wei didn't say anything. Of course, he hoped that there would be no problem, but this battle would definitely be a tough one!
tough battle!
At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team was aware of this, but when they really started playing, they realized that this game was tougher than they thought.
From the beginning of the game, the South Korean team showed their determination to not give up an inch of ground.
In this competition, Zheng Weifeng will certainly not make any restrictions. Not only will he put all the main players on the field, but he will also require them to get points at the beginning if possible.
Everyone nodded.
When is the most likely time to lose the ball during a match? start? at last? Midfield? Apart from the precise time, the most accurate thing is the time of carelessness. From this perspective, the very beginning is also the time when one is most likely to be careless. Sometimes it is not only the awareness but also the body that has not yet entered the game state. The South Korean team is not easy to play against, so the safest way is to score points at the start.
Zheng Weifeng guessed the wrong side, and the Chinese team got the right to kick off.
Yang Mo passed the ball to Zhang Sheng, who walked forward with the ball, observing as she walked. But before she had taken a few steps, she was surrounded!
The encirclement was not tight, but when she tried to go further inside, the South Korean team surrounded her. She passed the ball to Yang Mo with the side of her body, and almost immediately, Yang Mo was also trapped in this situation!
Midfield!
The South Korean team started fighting from midfield!
Zheng Weifeng touched his chin and said, "It seems that the South Korean team played very badly in the last game."
They thought that the South Korean team would do something against Wang Yijing, but playing in the midfield was not a cost-effective way. After all, the game lasted more than 90 minutes.
She thought about it and said again: "We have to be more careful."
Coach Li nodded, came to the sidelines and shouted: "Be careful——"
Even for the national team, even if they have a relatively solid bench, there is still a difference between substitutes and starters in terms of ability, experience and even tactics. The South Korean team would fight for the midfield right away. Obviously, in addition to emotional factors, it is probably more about wanting to score points first.
