Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 14 Conversation with Mourinho
  The key is.

Chinese football has fallen into unprecedented darkness.

In the 12th round of Group A of the top 8 Asian World Cup preliminaries in June, the Chinese national football team visited Malacca to face the "home team" Syria.

Although Syria scored in the opening game, the Chinese team scored two goals in the second half to take the lead and maintained the advantage until the end of regular time.

But then, in the third minute of stoppage time, Hao Junmin committed a defensive foul at the front of the penalty area, giving Syria a well-positioned set kick.

Saleh takes a free kick.

When the football ball passed through the wall and went straight into the dead center of the goal, the Chinese team's efforts for the entire ninety minutes were in vain.

The audience fell into silence.

Countless fans experienced three black minutes, and their extremely loving hearts suddenly became riddled with holes.

The problem of qualifying for the national football team has been staged again.

First, the Chinese team needs to win the last two rounds and end the top 12 match with 12 points.

Second, Uzbekistan lost the last two rounds and ended the top 12 match with 12 points and a lower goal difference than China.

Third, Syria could not win in the last two rounds, or had one win and one loss, ending the top 12 match with 12 points, but the goal difference was lower than that of the Chinese team.

What is the probability that the above conditions are met simultaneously?

Only 0.02%
  Blazevic once said something.

"Football should take on the mission of bringing back national pride."

But the gorgeous fireworks that Chinese fans dreamed of were quickly extinguished before they even took off.

and so.

Chinese fans are like drowning people, hoping for a life-saving straw to retain their last hope.

In the summer window, he transferred to West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League, but due to the labor certification system, he was loaned to Zhang Yuning at Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga.

Wei Shihao was loaned to Shanghai SIPG by Portuguese Liga team Lechon Is.

Lin Liangming of Castilla, Real Madrid's second team.

And Chu Feng, who has just been promoted to the Manchester United first team.

Countless Chinese fans are looking forward to them playing, not only to prove to the outside world that Chinese people can play football well, but also to set an example for the country and attract more young blood to join.

Weibo, Hupu, Tieba.

There have been heated discussions on mainstream social platforms.

  【You want to lie to me again? 】

  [When you stop asking this question, it means that Chinese football has made progress. 】
-
  [I feel like you are not fans, you are just here to join in the fun. 】
-
  [Indeed, there are all kinds of radical fans, but it is rare that you only focus on shortcomings and completely deny yourself. 】
-
  [Competitive sports is the original sin. I have the right to like strong teams. If the national football team plays against South Korea, I will support South Korea and I will wear a South Korean jersey. How about that? 】
-
  [Look at what you said, you think this is just a controversy in the sports field. But in my opinion, when football is played between national teams, it is already a certain form of competition between two countries and nations, representing the dignity of the country and nation. 】

-
  [Chu Feng might be able to win two championships. 】

Discussions about Chinese football have been abuzz on the Internet, with different people expressing their opinions.

Although most views are pessimistic.

But there are still a handful of fans who have not given up hope.

Under the impact of countless public opinions, the news of Chu Feng's promotion to the first team was washed away and did not continue to attract much attention.

Carrington Training Base.

Head coach's office.

"Coach, I heard Mr. Faria say, are you looking for me?" Chu Feng calmed down his rapid breathing and raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Well, come on in. The new season starts tomorrow. You've also been training with the first team for a few days. Do you have any ideas?"

Mourinho nodded.

Chu Feng walked to the bench and sat down. He thought for a moment and summed up his training summary.

"Every time I break through from the front, there is a feeling of dragging. I need to improve my short-distance burst speed, especially the acceleration in the first five meters."

"There are also ball control and confrontation abilities during high-speed dribbling, and the ability to pass the ball."

After hearing Chu Feng's answer, Mourinho raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Yes, you have a very clear understanding of yourself."

Compared with a player like Pogba who sticks his tail up to the sky if he has some talent, Chu Feng, who is humble and hard-working, is more to his liking.

But he quickly regained his composure and reminded in a deep voice.

"As for too much training without the ball, I don't think it's necessary."

"Great pianists never run around the piano, let alone do push-ups next to the piano. They just keep practicing on the keys."

"In the next two training cycles, what you need to focus on is team awareness and ball control training."

"Let me tell you in detail."

"."

The most important part of Mourinho's training philosophy is periodization.

This concept originated from his mentor Vitor and is a management method for football training created by combining cybernetics, anthropology and psychology.

The specific content is very complicated.
  Chu Feng kept Mourinho's words in mind and felt that he still had unfinished business.

After all, receiving one-on-one guidance from a top coach is a luxury.

An hour passed before I knew it.

Before leaving, Mourinho reminded him earnestly: "Chu, I have no doubt about your potential. But you have to remember that for professional players, not making progress means regressing, and the only way to prevent regression is to work hard. train."

"In this process, you will face many temptations, such as food, indulgence, alcohol, laziness, etc."

"I hope you don't indulge in it, otherwise one day, when you can't achieve what you should achieve, it will be too late to regret it."

"Believe me, you must have higher demands on yourself!"

Mourinho has seen many talented players, most of whom fell early before they even rose.

According to his personality and habits, he won't talk too much to the players.

But when he saw Chu Feng's performance in training and life, he couldn't help but remind him.

But that was all he could say.
  We are all adults and need to be responsible for our own actions.

The breeze blowing from the window blew the black hair on the young man's forehead.

Chu Feng showed a bright smile, exuding the vitality unique to young people.

"Boss, don't worry, I have high standards for myself!"
