There is a dream called football

Chapter 367 Milu is Coming
The plane landed in Munich. A dusty old man walked out of the airport and was immediately surrounded by reporters. He was the amazing coach and Milutinovic who led the national football team to the World Cup last time.

The reason why he is called the magic coach is because he has led different teams to the World Cup five times in a row.

1986年的墨西哥，1990年的哥斯达黎加、1994年的美国、1998年的尼日利亚和2002年的中国。

This is also an unprecedented record in the world.

At this time, Milu is the head coach of Jamaica. Of course, he came to Germany to pay attention to the World Cup.

"This should be the first time you have participated in the World Cup as an outsider, right?"

"Haha." Milu smiled heartily, "There's nothing wrong with it, it feels good to watch the World Cup as a fan, and there's no pressure on me."

"Can you comment on the performance of the Chinese team?"

"They did a great job, at least they got points this time."

"Will you visit your old friends from the Chinese team?"

"of course."

"Predict the match between the Chinese team and England?"

"That's the job of a football commentator, not mine, so I refuse to predict the outcome of the game."

Milu understands that the result of a football game is unpredictable, and if Da Zui predicts the result of the game, he will be like Pele, and he will bear the notoriety of the crow's mouth, which is not good.

After the training, Zhu Guanghu did not let the players go back immediately, but said that he would introduce an old friend to everyone.

Everyone really didn't know that this person was Milu, because they seldom read news from foreign media, and there were no smartphones at that time, so it was not so easy to read the news.

But when Milu appeared, everyone was happy. This may be the most familiar foreigner in the Chinese team.

"Milu."

"Hello everyone, we meet again."

Li Weifeng in the team was Milu's subordinate back then, and most of the others did not participate in the last World Cup, so it can only be said that they knew this face, but they were not familiar with it.

"Let me introduce myself, because I saw a lot of newcomers."

"Haha."

After Milu's introduction, he began to tease Zhu Guanghu.

"You have better luck than me. If I had these people under my command four years ago, I think I would have made it to the knockout round."

"Haha."

The reason why the Chinese never forget Milu is because he is the one who realized the Chinese team's decades-long World Cup dream.

In the past, Chinese football always shouted to go out of Asia and go to the world, but the problem was that every time it was a little bit short and did not go to the world, and Milu was a person who achieved a leap forward. At least the Chinese team is also one of the few Asian teams that have participated in the World Cup.

Director Zhu said emotionally: "We should thank Milu, he is the one who realized our dreams, without him planting the seeds of dreams, we might not be in Germany today, nor would we get the first World Cup points."

"I am honored to see this. This is why I love football. This sport can change a country. I have been to so many countries. There is no one who does not love football, so try to make your country proud."

Everyone's blood boiled with enthusiasm from these words. This is the feeling of soldiers going to war in peacetime. It is not easy to represent the country's highest honor, but it is really honorable.

"In fact, I also want to thank you and the Chinese team. This may be the last time I lead the team to participate in the World Cup. After that, I will do some behind-the-scenes work, which is requested by my family."

Li Qiao remembered that in his previous life, the Chinese team was indeed the last time Milu led a team to participate in the World Cup. Since then, he has become a football consultant for various countries, like Qatar and China's youth training consultant.

Milu bowed to everyone, and the players of the Chinese team also bowed to Milu.

"Good luck against England."

*****
When the bus entered Nuremberg, police cars escorted it all the way, but we still saw many Chinese fans along the way.

Wherever there are people, there are Chinese. This sentence is a real team, and the national football team is also very moved, but the vigilance is very strict, and those fans can't get close.

When you come to the hotel, the security level is even higher. It is basically impossible to let reporters in. The Germans are very strict about this.

Every player of the national football team has been issued a pass so that they can move freely around the hotel. Today's training is physical training. The European physiotherapist of the national football team arranged strength training in the swimming pool.

Training in water is a relatively popular strength training method in the world, and its purpose is to prevent injuries.

As we all know, the so-called injury is caused by uneven local force. For example, a sprained ankle is caused by sudden excessive force on the ankle, but there is no such situation in water. The force on the whole body is basically balanced, and injury is impossible.

In this way, a little more exercise is completely safe.

So the team members understand that once it is training in water, the intensity must be very high.

Two hours of training can be exhausting, but it is very helpful for hard battles. The endurance in the game is trained a little bit like this.

As for tactical training, Zhu Guanghu's guiding ideology is almost the same as the previous game, that is, to pass quickly to counter the opponent's physical advantage. The Chinese team and the opponent's physical strength have no advantage at all, and the only advantage of the Chinese team is flexibility and speed.

For this game, the starting lineup of the Chinese team will also be changed. Hao Junmin will start and the formation will become 433.
"Pass quickly from the midfield, don't stick to the ball, if you really can't find the point of exit, then pass the ball to the two sides."

"If it doesn't work, just kick it out of the sideline. Anyway, don't stick to the ball, especially in the backcourt, because if the ball is intercepted at this time, the defense line will be easily blown."

"In addition, be mentally prepared. In this kind of game, it is entirely possible for us to concede the ball first, or even concede two goals first, so we must be prepared in our hearts, and don't collapse as soon as we concede the ball."

This is not easy, but it is always good to be prepared first. Zhu Guanghu is afraid of being beaten by a big score like Saudi Arabia.

In the last World Cup, the reason why Saudi Arabia was beaten by the Germans 8 times was not because of the huge gap in strength, but because of the collapse of mentality.

In a game like the World Cup, Asian teams are often timid when they encounter European teams, which is terrible.

"Boys, my bottom line is that this ball can be lost, but this ball can't be lost so ugly, you know?"

The big guys nodded.

At the same time, England has already announced the starting lineup in advance, and all the main players will play. Eriksson attaches great importance to the Chinese team. They don't want to relax a little bit. Eriksson hopes to lock in the group qualifying spot in the second round.

Because if you score 6 points, you will basically qualify for the group stage ahead of schedule.
