Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 207 The Weakness of the Iranian Team
The Chinese team won two games in a row in the case of a back-to-back fight, and they just took back a foot that had already stepped off the cliff. However, these two games did not come without a price. He was kicked and injured by a Kuwaiti defender before, and he is destined to miss a round. The three absolute main players, Xie Feng, Fan General and Li Min, collectively accumulated two yellow cards and suspended him for a round. Next, they will challenge the Iranian team, which is currently number one in the standings, in an away game. The situation of the four absolute main Chinese teams is not optimistic.

The first cycle is over, and the current ranking situation of the group is as follows: Iran ranks first in four games, two wins, two draws, with eight points and five goal difference, China has two wins in four games, one draw, one loss, seven points and two goal wins The ball ranks second, the Saudi team also has two wins, one draw and one loss with seven points, one goal difference ranks third, Kuwait has one win, one draw and two losses with four points and Qatar is at the bottom of the group with one point and one draw and three losses .

However, even the last Qatar is not without a chance to qualify. They only need to win all the remaining games to have the possibility of No.1 qualifying (this is true in history). In another group, The South Korean team won all the first rounds and has almost certainly won the World Cup admission ticket. The United Arab Emirates, which has seven points, can only compete for No.2 with Japan, which has five points.Compared with the clear situation of Group B, the confusing and confusing Group A deserves the title of "Group of Death".

Although the first round is over, the Chinese team has no time to rest. Seven days later, the second round will start. The Chinese team will challenge the Iranian team away.

Since it was two consecutive away games, the Chinese team did not return home, but flew directly to Tehran, the capital of the Iranian team, to prepare for the away game against the Iranian team.

For this opponent who once defeated him in Dalian Jinzhou with a big score of [-] to [-], the whole Chinese team is a little afraid, especially in the absence of the four absolute main players, so after arriving in Tehran, A pessimistic atmosphere was flowing in the national team's residence.

************************************
"Two wins, two draws and unbeaten, ranked first in the group, and once beat us four to two at home... It seems that the Iranian team is really strong, but if we think about it, it will be like this A question: Is the Iranian team really that strong?"

For the pessimism of the international players, Pei Wei had expected it. It was like this in history. At that time, it was difficult to win two consecutive victories. After arriving in Tehran, the shadow of the previous home defeat was not eliminated. The absence of the main team also prevented the national team from fighting. The first timidity, coupled with the fanatical atmosphere of the opponent's "hell home" Azadi Stadium, made many players weak.
Pei Wei is also complaining that he forgot why he lost so badly at that time. The absence of the four main players did have a very big impact, but he forgot to remind the players of this. In the end, Xie Feng, General Fan and Li Min still had their own food Received a yellow card and was forced to suspend.

There is no way to make up for this matter, but other things can still be made up, so after arriving in Tehran, Pei Wei immediately held a team meeting to relieve the pressure on these international players.

"In the first round of four games, they won us and Qatar, but drew with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait - both of whom we lost, and Saudi Arabia could bring home a point from Iran, As a result, we lost [-]-[-] at home, Kuwait can also draw with Iran at home, and we also beat Kuwait away - why do we have to lose to Iran?"

"In the first game, there were many reasons for our loss, not just a matter of strength. As for General Hao Dongfan and the others not being able to play, that's not a problem—are you not members of the national team? Are you a member of the Chinese national team? Are the four of them the only ones on the team who can do it?"

"Don't forget, you are also a member of the national team! Being able to enter the national team has already proved that you are the best group of players in the country! In Asia, you are no worse than anyone! Seeing us play at home Was it a banner displayed by the fans in Saudi Arabia? 'Chinese people are not afraid of death, are they afraid of difficulties?' I believe that there is no coward in the national team! You are all famous men! Why should we lose forever just because of one defeat? lose to them?"

"Don't think about anything else these days, recover well, train well, and wait until the day of NO.17, we will give the Iranians a good look! Let them know that even if they win a game against us, it does not prove that they can win this game us!"

"The Iranian team is not invincible, nor is it impeccable. Benitez's coach has seen the weakness of the Iranian team. On the day of NO.17, we will teach the Iranian team a good lesson!"

************************************
Although we talked about it, the international players seemed not to be so listless in training, but Pei Wei could still see that the shadow of the defeat in the first round and the absence of Hao Dong and the others had not been eliminated.

This is also inevitable. After all, the Chinese team lost so badly in the Dalian Jinzhou game. They conceded four goals in a row in 10 minutes. The painful experience of being helpless is not so easy to eliminate. Among the four, Hao Dong, Li Min and General Fan are the absolute main force no matter in the era of Marshal Qi or in the current era of Benitez. Their abilities are recognized. Although Xie Feng became The main player, but he performed exceptionally well in these two games and has been recognized by everyone. It is not impossible to change to a new player, but can the new player get the approval of others?This means that the players will trust each other unconditionally.

But this is not something that can be rushed, but the current situation is the time to test Benitez's commanding ability and judgment. In the top ten matches in history, the Chinese team faced Saudi Arabia and Kuwait with excellent skills. The team's performance is quite good, with three wins and one draw in four games and a score of ten points. However, when facing teams with excellent physical conditions such as Iran and Qatar, their performance was terrible, with three losses and one tie. They conceded twelve goals and only scored six. Ball, this can be regarded as a chronic problem of the Chinese team, otherwise it would not always be under the pressure of the South Korean team.

"To deal with the Iranian team, the tactics used in the first two games cannot be used." During the discussion, Benitez said to Pei Wei and Chi Shangbing and other members of the coaching staff: "It is important to use body and speed against Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Because we have an advantage in this aspect, and the weather also helped us a lot when we played against Saudi Arabia. The Iranian team is different. This is their strength. Don’t forget, Qatar, which is as physical as us, was easily defeated by the Iranian team. Just rushed, lost three goals in a row, and the South Korean team in the 96 Asian Cup was able to fight back and forth with the Iranian team in the first half, but was abruptly dragged down by the Iranian team in the second half. Knife—even the South Korean team, which is known for its strong willpower and abundant physical fitness, was beaten into such a bird by the Iranian team, what other teams in Asia can compete with Iran in physical strength?"

Although Benitez said this, it was translated by Pei Wei into the above appearance, otherwise Benitez would not know what a "bird-like" is.

Chi Shangbing and others did not speak. In fact, the "brain trust" of their coaching staff is just a decoration. They are all people with their own positions in various clubs. They were temporarily transferred to the national team. It’s the head coach’s credit, and the head coach who can’t play well is also the first to be blamed. They have no reason to express too many opinions. If they are really allowed to participate in decision-making, then there will be that ironic scene in history. Black comedy: It takes half an hour to discuss with each other, and when the result of the discussion comes out, the day lily will be cold.

So Pei Wei treated them as decorations arbitrarily - this is also a strange phenomenon in the national team. Although Pei Wei is only an interpreter and not an official staff member of the national team, he is now a national The most powerful person in the team - he is responsible for communicating with Benitez, and he is also the one who handed over Benitez's tactics to the coaches for them to train. The coaching staff has only one task, and that is to follow his The arranged training plan is for the players to complete, and Benitez has only one task, to discuss the playing personnel and tactical arrangements with Pei Wei, and Pei Wei will complete the other things.

In fact, this matter is not worth mentioning to put it bluntly, it is very simple-others are unwilling to bear the responsibility of failing to qualify in the future, even if the coaches work in the club, they are still living under the Football Association and cannot qualify They can't bear the responsibility, but Pei Wei is different. If he fails to qualify, he will pat his ass and leave. No matter how strange you are, Pei Wei is not afraid.

Pei Wei also saw through this, so he assumed the responsibility—you all dare not make a decision, do you?I'm coming!When the time comes, let's see who can do what to me!I will not rely on being a coach to make a living in the future!

The national team's orders for training and games are all decided by an interpreter, which can be regarded as a strange story in the world.

Benitez's words continued: "Even so, the Iranian team is not impeccable. Their consecutive draws with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, as well as being eliminated by Saudi Arabia in the Asian Cup, all illustrate a problem. What they are afraid of is not You confront him face-to-face, but you are afraid that you will use technology to entangle them, control the midfield, and wear down their spirit. From this perspective, the absence of General Fan and the others is a good thing. We can form a brand new center Field, use technology to deal with them!"

"So, I always think that the current Chinese national team is definitely a first-class team in Asia, because we have all types of players! It is based on this that we can make targeted arrangements according to the actual situation of the Iranian team. "
