There is a dream called football

Chapter 381 Professional German Journalist

"About Asamoah or Podolski."

Klinsmann smiled.

Asamoah's impact is very strong, and it is also a manifestation of the achievements of Germany's naturalization, but Podolski may be the future of Germany.

"I think the forwards all have the chance to play, and the following games will become more and more difficult, so I don't think this is a problem. It is definitely impossible for us to rely on a starting set."

German football reporters are very professional, so their questions are also quite professional.

"Schweinsteiger's breakthrough on the wing did not have much effect. Should this position be changed?"

Schweinsteiger made his debut as a winger. He really became a world-class player when he changed to a midfielder under Van Gaal and suddenly became enlightened. However, Klinsmann did not see such potential in Schweinsteiger.

"You only see the breakthrough, but you don't see the passing ability, you don't see the ability to cooperate with your teammates."

"Schweinsteiger is very important to the German team. I advise you to take a comprehensive look at a player. For example, when I play, I score goals. But if there is no Matthaus in the midfield, I think we will be a tragedy."

Many German reporters nodded. Although Mateus is a midfield engineer, without Mateus, it would be impossible for the German team to win the 1990 World Cup in Italy.

"Regarding tactics, we know that the starting XI of the German team has not been fixed since you took office."

This is indeed a problem. Klinsmann basically used different tactics in the warm-up matches after taking office.

As we all know, in such a powerful football country as Germany, the changing tactics mean that the head coach is immature.

In fact, this German team, the most worrying thing for the Germans is Klinsmann. The most important thing is that he lived in the United States during his tenure as the head coach of the German team and was with his family, which made many Germans very upset.

In addition, Klinsmann has no coaching experience before, and it was the first time to lead the German national team. This is why many people are uneasy, although he has a reliable assistant-Loew.

Klinsmann smiled, "Since I took office, everyone has doubted my ability. I think it is the World Cup now, so there is no need to doubt it. Everyone just depends on how far we go. In addition, I will leave after the World Cup no matter what."

Klinsmann doesn't want to argue anymore, let's prove everything with practice. He hopes to face the media in his last moments as the national team coach.

"About your celebration."

Someone asked: "You smashed the water bottle again last time."

"Hahaha."

This is why everyone thinks that Klinsmann is not like the Germans, because the Germans are characterized by introversion. It is rare for a German coach to smash a water bottle and jump up and down after scoring a goal, but Klinsmann will.

"I think football is a sport of passion and there is nothing wrong with expressing my emotions."

"In the next game against the Chinese team, you will still see my passionate celebration, and more than once."

*****
Many German journalists and European journalists came to the press conference of the Chinese team. Many people were looking forward to whether the Chinese team could make a big upset, because everyone is watching the excitement and it’s not a big deal. For the media, the more excitement, the greater the value of the news.

Chinese reporters are most concerned about whether Li Weifeng can play.

"I can't answer you now. The team doctor is still treating me. I hope Li Weifeng can play. He is very important to us."

A reporter asked, "Director Zhu, what is your position on Li Jinyu?"

"I don't know what you mean, but I will not position my players. If I have to, then they are all my soldiers. We are moving for the same goal, that's all."

"Since Director Zhu took office, the mental outlook of the national football team has changed and they are now able to play hard games. Why? Because there are superstars like Li Qiao?"

Zhu Guanghu smiled.

"It's just luck."

"luck?"

"Yes, in fact, our impact on the 1990 World Cup and the 1998 World Cup were actually a little bit short."

"Is it because we are not strong enough? No, if you look back, luck is also a very important reason."

"I'm not superstitious, but sometimes it's just a breath, you pass it if you hold on, so I want to be grateful."

The Chinese reporter also nodded. In the past, Chinese football was really strong in Asia, but they couldn't make it to the World Cup. Some people also said it was strange.

"Director Zhu..."

"Wait a minute, give foreign friends a chance to ask questions."

"Ha ha."

German journalists asked more sharp questions.

"What do you think the Chinese team will use to resist the strong attack of the German team?"

The reason why the Germans have the confidence to say this is because they won all three games in the group stage and scored 8 goals. This attack power is also outstanding.

Zhu Guanghu thought for a while, then spread his hands, "I really have no good solution. The German team's offense may be different, domineering and sharp. Especially against Asian teams, the Germans always seem to be able to score big points."

Hahaha.

Everyone knows that Zhu Guanghu is talking about Saudi Arabia.

"But I think we are not Saudi and we want to go to extra time."

"In addition, football matches are very contingent, so don't think that the Chinese team is easy to play. The teams that can reach the top 16 of the World Cup are not so easy to deal with."

Zhu Guanghu is hiding a needle in the cotton, and he can't be completely regarded as a soft persimmon. If the opponent has no worries at all during the game, that's not good.

A foreign reporter asked: "What do you think of the collective elimination of the Asian teams this time?"

This time the Asian teams performed poorly. The only team that advanced to the top 16 was the Chinese team, South Korea, Japan, and Saudi Arabia all went home early.

"I think the progress of Asian football is obvious, but the gap between us and world football is also obvious, so it will take time. I think 20 years later, Asian football will also be able to compete with Europe."

Zhu Guanghu plays Tai Chi. As a fellow player, of course it is not good for you to comment on others. Besides, Asian football is not good, and the Chinese team is also shameless, so there is nothing to say.

Someone asked Zhu Guanghu to predict the score.

Zhu Guanghu chuckled, "90 to 0 in 0 minutes, 120 to 0 in 0 minutes, the final shootout, the Chinese team defeated the German team 5 to 4, this is what I dreamed of yesterday."

"Hahaha."

For the Chinese team, in the face of a strong opponent, it is a good way to use the strategy of the ancestors to fight for a long time.

Soon, the eyes of the whole of Asia will gather. At least for this battle with the German team, the chairman of the AFC will come to Munich to watch the game in person.
