Chapter 324 How to Fight the Defending Champion
At the press conference after the game, Lippi commented on the game: "Thank you to the players for not giving up on the field. The situation was quite difficult when the goalkeeper was sent off, but every player's fighting spirit on the field is commendable. Although it was only a draw, after experiencing such a game, the team's confidence will be greatly improved."
However, the real focus of Chinese and foreign media is the next match with the German team.
Now the situation of the Chinese team qualifying is very optimistic. One foot has stepped into the threshold of the top [-], and even losing the game may qualify. Facing the defending champion, what is the attitude of the Chinese team?Everyone is very concerned about this issue.
Lippi replied: "This is a good experience for us. Of course, the German team is one of the best teams in the World Cup, no matter in the past or now. The gap between us and our opponents is significant. Against such a team, we may lose 99 times a hundred times. But!"
Lippi deliberately emphasized his tone, paused, and continued: "Maybe the only victory will be in the next game! You know, football is round."
These words were very useful to the Chinese journalists, at least they sounded very encouraging, but many of them laughed indifferently. A bearded German reporter raised his hand and stood up and asked: "Mr. Lippi, do you really think so? But in this group, the German team is really locked in to qualify!"
This German reporter has a great sense of superiority and really looks down on the Chinese team.The Chinese reporters looked at him, frowning, with hostility in their eyes.
With the strength of the German team, it is normal to not pay attention to the group stage, but it is very uncomfortable to play tricks and beat the opponent for fun.
After listening to the translation, Lippi's face darkened, and he was about to answer.Wen Zhihao quietly shouted from the side, and then made eye contact, which meant that I would answer this question.
Wen Zhihao approached the microphone, looked at the bearded German reporter, and said, "Mr. reporter, let me answer your question. I have just played against most of the German players in the Champions League final. I think I still have a certain right to speak."
As soon as the Champions League final was mentioned, the expressions of all the reporters on the scene immediately became quite exciting.Bayern is defeated, Wen Zhihao has made it clear which pot is not opened and which pot is to be lifted, it will make people unhappy!
The bearded man's heart tightened, he didn't expect Wen Zhihao to dig a hole with the question he raised, but he couldn't stop it, otherwise it would be a complete joke in the eyes of hundreds of reporters in the audience.
Wen Zhihao's face was still calm, he scanned the audience, and said: "The German team is very strong. Many players played for Bayern, but Bayern is also very strong. Before the Champions League final, there were more teams that were optimistic about them, and Atletico Madrid won in the end. I admit that our reputation and value are far inferior to Germany, but football has never been such a superficial sport."
The reporters immediately whispered. Next to the bearded reporter, another young German reporter asked, "Wen, I admit that you are very strong. We have no objection to what you say, but this match is a confrontation between two national teams. Is this also the collective attitude of the Chinese team?"
Wen Zhihao raised his head, stared at the reporter, and said slowly: "I have no intention of arguing with everyone. You are all journalists, and you only rely on your pen and words to make a living. I am not an opponent in this regard, but only actions can determine everything. I guess many of the reporters here are also thinking? It doesn't matter. This shows that the surprises brought by the Chinese team are not enough encouragement. Thank you for your encouragement. We will continue to work hard."
Coming out of the press conference hall, Lippi casually asked Wen Zhihao: "Zhihao, are you really so confident that we won't lose to the German team? The Champions League final is your confidence?"
Of course, Wen Zhihao told Lippi his true thoughts: "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, but self-confidence has strength. As long as we dare to fight against our opponents, there is no chance. The German players will not take us too seriously, because he thinks that we are rookies in the World Cup. No matter how high the outside world praises them, we are not equal to them. As long as they underestimate the enemy, we have a chance. As for tactics, it depends on whether the old man can make a surprise move."
Lippi looked at Wen Zhihao calmly: "Go on, if you were me, what can you do?"
Wen Zhihao pondered for a moment and replied: "The players with two points in the two group matches will definitely be given special attention. It is also difficult to restrain Germany tactically, because this team has no special weaknesses, so we can only figure out a way by ourselves. Let some players who have not played much in the previous two games play, and use the opponent's ignorance of them to try to create some bright spots. Anyway, the chances are very small, and there may be surprises if you fight."
When Lippi heard Wen Zhihao's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
……
After the second round of the group match, the Chinese team immediately set off to Kaliningrad to prepare for the last group match against the German team.
While the Chinese team is preparing for the battle, all eight groups have completed two rounds of competition. Only Group D and Group E, which are relatively balanced in strength, have a relatively complicated situation. In Group D, Argentina ranks first with six points, while Croatia and Iceland share three points. In the final round, Argentina will face Nigeria, which is at the bottom of the group. It has a great hope of winning the top spot in the group. Croatia and Iceland collide head-on, staged a life-and-death battle.
Group E is the most complicated group. Brazil stands out with one win and one draw with four points, Switzerland and Costa Rica with two points, and Serbia with one point.In the final round, Brazil played against Serbia, and Switzerland played against Costa Rica. All four teams have hopes of qualifying.The qualifying situation of Group E is also highly concerned by the Chinese media, because it is related to the potential opponents of the Chinese team in the top [-].From the heart, everyone does not want the Chinese team to meet Brazil, the first place in Group E, but if there is no accident, this will become a reality.Unless Brazil gives up the top spot with an upset loss, or...the Chinese team makes a shocking upset against Germany.
Except for Group D and Group E, there are no major surprises in the other groups.Popular teams such as Spain, Portugal, England, Belgium, and Colombia have all taken the initiative to qualify.
In addition, in addition to the Chinese team, another dark horse team is Poland led by Lewandowski. In the first two rounds, they defeated Senegal 1:0, Colombia 1:1, and faced Japan in the last round. It should not be a big problem to win.
From the perspective of the situation of Asian teams, Japan, Iran, Australia and Saudi Arabia, which are placed high hopes by Asian mainstream media, are not reliable.Although individual countries do not want to admit it, they also secretly set their sights on the Chinese team.
