On September 25, Beijing time, Wu Xi, the captain of the national football team preparing for the World Cup qualifiers in West Asia, was interviewed by the domestic media and conducted interactive questions and answers with netizens, and one of the questions and answers caused a lot of controversy.
Talking about the next match with the Vietnamese team, Wu Xi looked forward to this, he said that the impression given by the Vietnamese team is that the little fast spirit counterattack is very sharp, but as for how to limit the vietnamese team's play, these do not need the players to think, but the coaching staff to think about the problem. The coaching staff envisioned it, then gave the instructions to the players, and the players did a good job of executing.
Wu Xi's remarks caused a lot of controversy, to know that he is the captain of this national football team, and he is already 32 years old, such a big star who has experienced hundreds of battles in the national football team, facing a weak team ranked about 100 in world football like Vietnam, not to target the technical characteristics of the opponent, how to limit the opponent, but to hand this over to the coaching team to let the coaching team solve, is the national football player on the field just a tool person?
You know, how to prescribe the right medicine and flexibly layout and adjustment according to the characteristics of the opponent is definitely not just a problem of the coaching staff. In fact, the coaching staff only makes some big frameworks for the characteristics of the opponent, and in the game, the players must make some flexible adjustments to the characteristics of the opponent, and make some outstanding arrangements for the situation that may occur at any time on the field. For example, if you notice which player of the opponent, his performance is obviously better than expected, and it has obviously become the object that the national football team needs to focus on on the field, so the national football team must make targeted arrangements, how to limit the opponent's play, how can it be said that it is all under the command of the coach? At the very least, the players should have the right to make recommendations to the coaching staff, and the two sides communicate quickly to reach a final conclusion.
Such a statement reminds people of what Gao Lin said in an interview before. Gao Lin once told CCTV reporters that for the members of the Chinese team, Lippi is like a university professor, and the members of the national football team are like primary school students, sometimes they can't understand Lippi's tactical arrangements, the two sides are not at one level, so the national football players can't play the football that Lippi wants.
On the one hand, our level is really not good, on the other hand, our team members are too lazy and unwilling to actively advance at all, just like Wu Xi's attitude. It should be known that although the coaching staff is responsible for formulating strategies, they are not the people who directly confront the opponent on the field, and on the field, the players are the first to appreciate whether the tactics are appropriate and what characteristics the opponent has.
