    Chapter 489: The troops are divided into two groups

    The day after talking to Milu, Pei Wei officially took office in the national team.

    The next day, the national team coaching staff held a meeting. Head coach Milu, translator Lin Cheng, two assistant coaches Tang Pengju and Chu Guanghu, plus the physical coach and goalkeeper coach, gathered together.

    "I called you here today to introduce a new member to you." Milu said with a smile: "Yesterday at the Football Association meeting, Chairman Xu Li added a new consultant to the national team. From today on, he will  will cooperate with us.¡±

    As soon as they heard this, Tang Pengju and Chu Guanghu's expressions remained unchanged, but they began to sneer in their hearts - after seeing the Football Association's restrictions on the head coach's power, the two of them were disappointed with Milu's role in the national team in recent years.  He is very puzzled by his absolute dominance in the Olympic team. Although Milu's results are indeed good, he doesn't have to say everything about the national team, right?  Sure enough, before the start of the World Cup, the Football Association took action and sent such a consultant. It seemed that it was ready to start restricting Milutin's power.

    But when they saw Milu smiling and not looking depressed at all, the two of them began to murmur in their hearts - this old fox was very well-connected, so why was he not dissatisfied at all after having such a check around him?  ?  He usually looks like he is full of emotions and anger, and he doesn't look like a person with such a deep city.

    But when Pei Wei walked into the meeting room with a cheerful face, the two of them understood everything - people in the domestic football circle know very well what kind of person Pei Wei is, who has always been high-profile, and he is famous even in the club.  He never asks about the head coach's formation and selection of players, let alone the national team!  It seems that this consultant is really just a consultant!

    Translator Lin Cheng was not so fancy. After Pei Wei walked in, he stood up in surprise, then laughed and said: "Bossoh, no. Vice Chairman, it turns out you are the consultant!"

    Pei Wei smiled and shook hands with Lin Cheng. Milu next to him asked in surprise: "Lin, do you know Pei?"

    "I am originally from Yunjia Tianyu." Lin Cheng said with a smile: "I came to Yunjia after graduating from Cologne Sports Institute in 1999. In 2000, I was appointed by my boss to work as a translator for you  ¡­Why, don¡¯t you know? You know, the Football Association hired you as the head coach at that time, too,¡± Lin Cheng said proudly.

    "Lin Cheng, you are wrong again. I am not your boss now!" Pei Wei said with a smile: "I am no longer the chairman of Yunjia Tianyu Club Now I am the honorary chairman of the Chinese Football Association.  Vice Chairman and FIFA Executive Committee! Don¡¯t be wrong, I am very satisfied with these two titles!¡±

    "Yes, yes, yes." Lin Cheng apologized with a smile, but there was no sign of apology on his expression - all Yunjia Tianyu people knew that in the boss's life journey of forty-two years so far (actually  It should be added that the twenty-six years before rebirth), he held many titles.  Including the chairman of Tianyu Group, a deputy to the National People's Congress, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference including the current honorary vice-chairman of the Football Association and executive committee member of FIFA, but there is only one title that he is most proud of and the most indelible, and that is Yunjia Tianyu  Club president!

    Pei Wei and Lin Cheng were smiling and chatting, but Milu's expression next to them became complicated.  He looked at Pei Wei blankly, and his eyes contained too many things.

    "So, I came to China because of your recommendation?" Milu couldn't help but say something when everyone was seated.  He was indeed a man who couldn't hide his words: "Then why didn't you tell me?"

    "What does it matter?" Pei Wei shrugged: "I am not recommending you to please you because you are the most suitable head coach for the Chinese team now, so I recommended you because I think you can command on the spot.  The ground ability is very good, and at the same time you can solve the psychological problems of our players Now the Chinese team does not lack good players, but it lacks a head coach who can let the players unleash their full abilities.¡±

    He looked at Milu: "It doesn't matter who recommended you or who picked you to be the head coach of the Chinese national team. What matters is that you are here You are already here, aren't you?"

    Milu swallowed.  Then he nodded: "I understand, I'm here. Now that I'm here, I have to do a good job."

    The next moment he resumed his demeanor as the head coach of the Chinese national team and nodded to the surroundings: "We are gathered together today not just to introduce Pei to you, but more importantly, it is less than a month before the national team gathers.  It¡¯s time. Today we are going to discuss the opponent in the warm-up match before the World Cup.¡±

    Milu was chatting calmly, while Lin Cheng next to him quickly helped him translate.  Although he was very happy to see Pei Wei, Lin Cheng was not ashamed.An excellent translator, his happy mood did not affect his quick and accurate translation of Milu's words: "The national team training time is only one month. Based on their status in the league, I have basically determined the location for the World Cup."  The candidates for the twenty-three players now need to be considered to warm up their opponents. The warm-up match before the big game is very important. We need to use the precious warm-up match time to adjust the players' condition and familiarize them with the tactics and playing methods.  We need to have a basic understanding of the opponent¡¯s ability, so we must be careful when choosing our opponent. Now, coach Chu Guanghu will talk about the teams that have contacted us and hope to have a warm-up match with us.¡±

    Chu Guanghu stood up: "Since this World Cup is held in our close neighbors Japan and South Korea, many teams participating in the World Cup hope to have their training location in China, so that we can choose our opponents.  Unlike the last World Cup, we went to Europe to ask for help There are currently four teams that have contacted us, namely Portugal and Poland in Europe, Uruguay in South America and Nigeria in Africa. Judging from the strength of these opponents,  They are all good and can play a very good role in training the team. As for which teams to choose, it is up to coach Milu to decide.¡±

    Milu nodded: "First of all, I want to explain that the number of warm-up matches I hope is four. Although the density of four warm-up matches a month may be a bit high, we still have plenty of time. According to my  Calculating, I will train for ten days first, and then play a warm-up match every three days, of which the first two warm-up matches will be played in China. I chose Qingdao as the city's climate is relatively close to that of Japan and South Korea.  The other two warm-up matches will be held in Seogwipo and Gwangju, South Korea. These two places are the cities where our group matches will be played. It is good for us to familiarize ourselves with the venues in advance. The Football Association has already started preparations in contact with the Korean side.  We don¡¯t need to worry about this. As for the opponents, after discussions between me and Pei, plus whether the opponent has contacted us, two teams have been determined, that is Portugal and Poland. The Portuguese team is called  Warming up for the Brazilian team in Europe, we can adapt to the Samba football style, while the Polish team is closer to Turkey in terms of tactics. At the same time, our first opponent in the group, Costa Rica, has many Polish players.  Descendants, I believe that warming up with them will be of great help to us.¡±

    ¡°This means that the two warm-up matches in Qingdao will be played against Portugal and Poland?¡± Tang Pengju asked.

    "That's right." Milu nodded, and then said: "As for the remaining two opponents, I think we should choose teams that are closer to Turkey and Costa Rica. After all, with our current strength, we want to compete with Brazil.  Unwisely, our real opponents in the group stage should be Turkey and Costa Rica. I am familiar with the Costa Rica team because I have led this team before and their players are mainly composed of blacks, mixed races and European descendants.  , so there is no shortage of speed and strength. Among them, the number one star is the forward Wanchope who plays for Manchester City in the English League. He is a forward with excellent speed, impact and technology, and Costa Rica's offense also revolves around him.  As for Turkey, although they belong to Asia geographically, their football has chosen to join UEFA! In the European Champions Cup in recent years, teams from Turkey have performed well.  They even made it to the quarterfinals in the European Cup! They failed to go further only by losing to the golden generation of Portugal. Their top star and their main scorer, Hakan Suker, played for Inter Milan, and their midfield performance  There are many good players. Whether it is Okan, Emre or Basturk, they all have the strength of the core midfielder. If we can defeat Costa Rica, then our biggest opponent will be Turkey! This must be considered!  arrive!"

    "I have a suggestion." Pei Wei raised his hand: "In view of Turkey's technical characteristics, I have a better warm-up opponent. That is the Swedish team from Europe. They are a very suitable opponent. As a Nordic team,  They have excellent skills and strong physical fitness, which is very similar to Turkey, especially their forwards, including Ibrahimovic (Ibrahimovic was only a substitute for the national team at this time) and Anderson.  There are also big men like Larsson and Auerbach, who are very similar to Turkey¡¯s forward combination of one high and one fast! More importantly, their main midfielder Ljungberg once played in the Chinese League!  I have also dealt with people from their Football Association, and I think they will be happy to play a warm-up match with us.¡±

    A smile appeared on Milu's face. Only now did he know Xu Li's intention in arranging Pei Wei to be the consultant of the national team - such a person who neither strives for power nor interferes with the work of the head coach, and also has a wide network of contacts in Europe.  Such a consultant could not be more helpful to the national team, and there will be no??Advantage!

    "Well, okay, then the third opponent has also been selected. Basically, Poland and Sweden are both opponents against Turkey. So who should we choose as the fourth opponent? No matter from which perspective, we should  Choose an opponent with a style similar to Costa Rica. You must know that our opponent in the first game is Costa Rica! But such an opponent is not easy to find. The other two teams in Central and North America, both the United States and Mexico, have the same style as Costa Rica!  It¡¯s not the same, it¡¯s very difficult from a technical point of view.¡±

    Milu said "It's very difficult" but his eyes kept rolling around Pei Wei, and his eyes also had the kind of fox-like light that Tang Pengju, Chu Guanghu and others were familiar with!

    This old fox is really not afraid of being tired when employing people.  Pei Wei was slandering Milu just like Xu Li yesterday, but he also knew that this was an opportunity for Milu to reciprocate Pei Wei's favor and establish his own prestige in this small circle, although it seemed unnecessary.

    "Actually, we don't need to focus on Central and North America. You must know that although black people only account for about one percent of Costa Rica's racial composition, there are many black people in their national team! Especially the one that poses the greatest threat  Wanchopeso we can definitely set our sights on Africa."

    "Africa? Nigeria has contacted us, and they were among the top 16 in the last World Cup and were the champions of the 1996 Olympics. They are absolutely outstanding. Can we choose them?" Chu Guanghu interrupted.

    "No, it's not very suitable." Pei Wei shook his head: "I think coach Milu should know that since winning the Olympic championship, Nigeria's strength has actually been declining! Nigeria has not been there for a long time since Kanu's group.  There is new blood, but they are still relying on Kanu, Okocha, and Yabo to dominate the world! And their front line does not have a striker with speed and impact like Wanchopu Therefore, the opponent I chose is  Cameroon team! Their forward partners are Eto'o from La Liga Mallorca and Mboma from Sunderland in the Premier League. These two forwards happen to be the same type of speed and impact forwards as Wanchope!  After adapting to their offense, it will be much easier for our defenders to cope with Wanchope's offense!"

    "Well, it's settled. The four warm-up opponents are Portugal, Poland, Sweden and Cameroon Among them, Portugal and Poland are basically certain. We can just report it directly to the Football Association. As for Sweden and Cameroon, then we have to  It's up to our Consultant Pei!" Milu stood up and said with a smile.

    "No problem, I have nothing to do now anyway, I can leave tomorrow to contact the football associations of these two countries." Pei Wei shrugged, he was already mentally prepared anyway.

    "Well, we will split into two groups tomorrow uh, that's how the word is used, right? I will continue to lead the coaching staff to observe the status of the domestic players, while Pei will contact the warm-up opponents!"
