Chapter 1118 I Refuse

Before the match between the Chinese team and Uzbekistan, the Chinese domestic media began to dig out old accounts and tell everyone what historical grievances there were between the two teams in China and Uzbekistan.

This is to tell everyone that this game is actually very important, and it is not the kind of game that is played casually with a relaxed mind.

Before this game, the Chinese team had played against Uzbekistan eight times. The Chinese team had two wins, one draw and five losses, completely at a disadvantage.The Chinese team lost in the three major competitions. Among them, they lost 1994:2 to Uzbekistan in the final of the Asian Games in Hiroshima in 4 and lost the gold medal in the Asian Games. Perhaps it was the most painful one.

That time was the best opportunity for the Chinese team to break through the gold medal in the Asian Games football event, but lost to Uzbekistan in the final.

随后在1996年的亚洲杯小组赛中，中国队以0：2失利, 2007年的亚洲杯小组赛生死战中中国队又以0：3完败。

In the Asian Cup, the two sides played against each other twice, and the Chinese team conceded five goals, but failed to score a single goal. This disadvantage is really obvious enough.

Uzbekistan is a Central Asian team with a tough style and excellent physical fitness. Physically, the Chinese team has no advantage over Uzbekistan.

In terms of tactical discipline, Uzbekistan is also better than the Chinese team.

It can be said that the Chinese team was completely controlled by Uzbekistan tanks.

The previous two losses were not wronged.

But this time, the Chinese team before Rongguang joined was not the strongest Chinese team in history.

But after the glory, this may be the strongest Chinese team in history. Everyone is very optimistic about them reversing their embarrassing record against Uzbekistan in the Asian Cup.

Especially after the last performance against Qatar, Chinese team fans and the media have a lot of expectations for the Chinese team.

However, in the eyes of Gao Hongbo, this does not mean that the Chinese team has performed well.

At this time, Gao Hongbo was discussing tactics for the next game with his assistant coach Fu Bo in the hotel room.

Watching the four goals of Rongguang in the game being played over and over again on the TV, Gao Hongbo sighed softly: "I have to admit, Lao Fu, some people are born to break the balance."

Of course Fu Bo knew what Gao Hongbo was talking about. In fact, he came to Gao Hongbo to ask him why he said those words during the intermission.

But Gao Hongbo told the story first.

"We have been wondering whether to stick to our tactical play, because this is the result of our hard work for more than a year, it is our hard work, and we really don't want to give up like this. But now it seems that if we stick to our original idea, everyone will feel very uncomfortable..."

Gao Hongbo continued.

Fu Bo didn't say anything, he was listening quietly.

"It was obvious in the last game. When we encountered setbacks in the game, the team's overall performance was a mess. When the opponent pressed us in a high position, our tactical play was not at all effective... At this time, all we can count on is Rongguang's personal ability. Although we are not reconciled, we must also admit that if we want to win results, we must rely on Rongguang's personal ability..."

"From now on, our opponents will only get stronger and stronger. In terms of the overall strength of this team, it is not enough to deal with those powerful enemies. So I think we may have to rely on Rongguang to maximize his personal ability, and the whole team will serve him alone."

After Gao Hongbo finished speaking, he looked at Fu Bo.

"Uh... I have no problem, as long as we can win." Fu Bo said. "Actually, Lao Gao, I really like the feeling of winning now. We have been winning all this time, and I will be woken up by laughing every day when I sleep! How long has it been since we experienced this feeling?"

Hearing what Fu Bo said, Gao Hongbo laughed: "In the past, Chinese football lacked such victories."

Fu Bo nodded vigorously: "Yes, so, don't worry about how you win, as long as you can win. Chinese football needs to use victory to restore confidence. I think the mental quality of the Chinese team players is not good, and it has something to do with always losing and being scolded. If we can win more goals, it will also be good for improving the confidence of the boys. If we want to break into the World Cup in Brazil, we must let them have this confidence."

"In the next game, let Rong Guang play as he pleases..." Gao Hongbo paused here, and then said to Bo with a serious expression: "But Lao Fu, don't let other players know this, and don't even let other coaches know."

Fu Bo also nodded seriously: "I understand."

He knew why Gao Hongbo reminded himself so.

Because to be honest, the content of the discussion between the two of them boils down to one central idea, that is, they don't believe that the abilities of other players on this team can meet their requirements.

Although this is the truth, the truth often offends people.

If other players know this, I am afraid that the head coach Gao Hongbo will have no prestige in this team.A head coach who doubts the ability of his players is like a general who does not believe in his soldiers. He will not be supported. If he loses his support, he will lose control of the team.

Then he is not far away from get out of class.

So on this issue, both of them are very serious, without any joking.

※※※

After Gao Hongbo and Fu Bo made an agreement, he planned to go to Rongguang and tell Rongguang about this tactical adjustment.

Rong Guang was chatting with Sun Hai in the room at the time.

When Fu Bo saw Sun Hai, the expression on his face was a little unnatural, but he quickly turned his attention to Rong Guang: "Gao Zhi asked you to go to his room, Rong Guang."

Rong Guang agreed, then bid farewell to Sun Hai, and followed Fu Bo out the door.

On the way from Rongguang's room to Gao Hongbo's room, Fu Bo was always worried that Rongguang would ask Gao Hongbo what he was looking for, and it was difficult for him to answer Rongguang in such a public space.

But along the way, Rong Guang didn't ask Fu Bo Gao Zhi what he wanted from him, and just followed Fu Bo silently.

After entering Gao Hongbo's room, Fu Bo closed the door. After Gao Hongbo and Rong Guang spoke politely, they went straight to the point, but to his surprise, his arrangement was rejected by Rong Guang.

"I don't accept it, Gao Zhi." Rong Guang said calmly.

"Ah?" Gao Hongbo didn't expect Rong Guang to reject his kindness.

Before, he had been suppressing Rongguang's performance. He originally thought that Rongguang would be very unhappy about it, but now that he is allowed to play casually, he should be very happy.

Unexpectedly, Rong Guang would not accept it.

"Are we a team, Gao Zhi?" Rong Guang asked Gao Hongbo back.

Gao Hongbo was taken aback by the question, then nodded: "Of course it's a team..."

"Then I can't just take care of myself. So I don't accept Gao Zhi's arrangement."

Gao Hongbo frowned, Rong Guang didn't accept it, this matter...is difficult.

He can't say in front of Rongguang that other players are Rongguang's burden, can he?

After all, he was his player. Even if he had admitted this fact in his heart, he still didn't want to say it.

Before leaving, Rong Guang said to Gao Hongbo: "Don't worry about Gao Zhi, I didn't come to the national team to show off."

Then Rong Guang left Gao Hongbo's room.

"This..." Fu Bo looked at the glory of leaving, and then at Gao Hongbo, for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Gao Hongbo sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

Since Rong Guang came to the national team, he has been different from others. It doesn't mean that he will be chased by reporters and fans wherever he goes. This difference is not the difference in the external form.

Gao Hongbo always felt that Rong Guang was different from the rest of the national team.

Gao Lin is also a player studying abroad. He has joined Barcelona, ​​but he is actually a traditional Chinese player in his bones.

But glory is not.

Many of his methods and thinking are different from those of the Chinese players, not only the national team players, but also the local players that Gao Hongbo has come into contact with in the domestic league.

Many players have a concept of superiors and subordinates to the head coach. The head coach is their superior, and they will consciously lower their posture when facing the head coach.

But Rong Guang did not. He spoke to himself in the same manner as he spoke to other people.At first, this may make people feel that he lacks respect for the head coach, but in fact, after a long time of contact, you will find that he treats them equally.

This may have something to do with the fact that he left China at the age of 16 and has been growing up in a foreign environment since then.Surrounding him are those Brazilians, Germans, and British who speak simple and direct words... This is a typical Chinese influenced by Western culture.

Gao Hongbo has also met many Westerners. Some foreign coaches have similar styles to Rongguang, because they cannot be mixed in China because they don't understand China's national conditions.Why did Milutinovic do it in the first place?

As for the request I made, if I were another player, even if I didn’t want to accept it, the words would sound much better. I thank the head coach for his care and love, but I can’t accept it for one reason or another.

Glory didn't do that.

He refused bluntly, and only revealed a little bit of his thoughts when he left.

Gao Hongbo actually knew the meaning of Rong Guang's last sentence, that is, he would not give up on his teammates.

This is a very good idea, but Rong Guang didn't say it beautifully enough. If you don't know him well, you might get angry and think he is too proud.

Fortunately, Gao Hongbo is not the kind of head coach with a bad temper, otherwise he would definitely fall out with Rong Guang.

Now he is just worrying. It is good for Rongguang to do so, but can he carry the entire national team alone?

If he was really exhausted because of this and lost the game, he would definitely have to bear the blame himself.It can't be said that Rong Guang insisted on going his own way and wanted to fight with the team, so that led to the loss of the game, right?
Gao Hongbo scratched his head, meeting such a competitive and responsible player, it was the first time he felt more than just a happy thing...
