The players of the Chinese team returned to their locker room, most of them were downcast, so the locker room became quiet.
To concede a goal towards the end of the first half was a huge blow to them.
Even if the head coach didn't scold them, everyone would be ashamed.
Because this ball was lost... It's really embarrassing!
It turned out to be caused by their active mistakes!
Dillon, the head coach who entered the locker room, saw the players' performance, and did not scold them for conceding the ball at the end of the half, but instead asked: "Seeing that the first half is about to end, I can't concentrate. right?"
Everyone bowed their heads, the loss of the ball was indeed caused by their lack of concentration.
Although it was Gao Ruimin who made the direct mistake, no other player reminded him from Gao Ruimin's catching the ball to the wrong pass, indicating that other people's attention was not on the game.
The mistakes may be made by one person or a few people, but it really reflects the problems of the whole team.
"That's why the five minutes after the start of the game and before the end is the easiest time to score. Because players tend to lose focus at this time. When you face a weak team, it doesn't matter if you lose focus, because Opponents can't threaten you. So many problems are covered up. But now, when you face a strong team like Japan, you lose your mind a little and concede the ball."
Dillon said in a calm tone.
"You should be thankful that we have already qualified for the World Cup ahead of time, so even if we lose the ball, it won't matter. But you must know that the Japanese team is at the top level in Asia, and going to the World Cup is just average. The opponents you meet in the World Cup, any team, are at this level. So if you are distracted for a minute or two in the World Cup, you may concede a goal. And by that time..."
Speaking of which, Dillon paused for a while. He wanted the players to listen to his words and think for themselves. So don't speak too fast, don't get too excited.
"At that time, it will not be the same as it is now, and it will have no effect on the result. In the World Cup, every goal is important, whether it is scored or conceded. A goal can be the turning point of the game at any time. Maybe we played very well in the first half, but because of this last-minute conceded goal, we fell into a passive position and ended up losing the game."
After Jin Tao translated all his words, Dillon continued:
"So don't treat this match as a top 12 match or a warm-up match. From now on, you should demand yourself with the mentality of participating in the World Cup. Treat the game in front of you as a World Cup match, how will you play? Three There are only 270 minutes in the group match, and if you are distracted on the court for three minutes, your World Cup journey may be frozen in these 270 minutes.
"I know you did well in the group stage last World Cup and drew with Brazil. But do you want to be in the group stage all the time? It's okay if you're not good enough, but in my opinion, you guys You have the strength to make it to the knockout stage, so are you content to go home after only three group matches?"
After Yu Jintao finished translating the words, Dillon put his hands on his hips and looked at his players. He turned his body freely so that he could keep his eyes on every Chinese team player.
Under his gaze, Wang Guangwei couldn't help standing up from his seat: "I'm not reconciled, coach. I didn't fight at the last moment in the last World Cup to get out of the group, which made me very regretful! And not only I'm not reconciled, and I believe everyone is equally reconciled!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at his teammates, where he looked for "comrades" who had the same aspirations as him.
Soon many people stood up. All of them participated in the World Cup three years ago, including the old captain Yao Huasheng.
He said: "I don't know if I can still go to Spain, but I agree with Guangwei. We can't just be content with participating in the World Cup. If our team can't make it to the knockout stage... it would be a pity!"

Yu Jintao translated all the players' statements to Dillon, and Dillon nodded repeatedly.
"Very good, lads. It seems that we have reached a consensus. So you have to keep your attention at all times in the game and don't make such low-level mistakes. Only in this way will we be able to reach the knockout stage in the World Cup. Don't even think about it!"
At the end, Dillon's tone finally increased.

"You are very good, you are doing well!"
In the Japanese team's locker room, the translator is also translating the words of the Brazilian head coach Carlisle to the Japanese players.
The Brazilian old man kept waving his arms, his expressions were vivid, and his body language was even more vivid.
"But definitely don't be content with just a one-goal lead. In the second half, take advantage of the chance that they haven't recovered from the blow and score another goal! For the Chinese team, a two-goal lead is safer!"
Carlisle raised two fingers.
For him, overtaking the score at the last moment of the first half is actually not what he wants to see the most.
Because it would give Jorge Dillon a chance to adjust at halftime.
If he could choose, he would prefer the team to score after the kick-off in the second half.
This can not only catch the Chinese team by surprise, but also make it difficult for Dillon to make adjustments quickly.
Of course, scoring a goal and overtaking the score is also a good thing.
So he still praised all the players at half-time and encouraged them to make persistent efforts.

"In the final analysis, there is still no bullshit! This first half is so similar to our away game against Japan a year ago! It was also that we scored the first goal, and then Japan equalized... But after that, it was completely different! When Japan wanted to score again, We were pressed to death... Why is there such a difference? Of course, it was because we still had nonsense at that time, but not today!"
In the stands, Chinese fans chatted while waiting for the second half to start.
They conceded a goal at the last minute of the first half, which really them off.
Throughout the intermission, all corners of the stadium's stands were filled with such angry denunciations.
"All the problems are because there is no bullshit! Last time we played against Japan, the reason why we were able to withstand Japan's attack and then regained the lead was not because our defense was good, but our attack was sharp enough. Our defense line It doesn't take too long to score goals quickly and interrupt the Japanese team's offensive. And now if there is no bullshit, we can't interrupt them, we can only be pressed and played by them... It's strange if we don't lose the ball!"
"I know Dillon wants to test how well the team can play without the bullshit. Well, now that the results are in, it turns out that it's really not good without bullshit. So don't play around next time, right? Well, this time we have already qualified ahead of time, otherwise we won't be played dead?"
"I think Dillon's training like this is like a wake-up call for our opponents - look, the Chinese team without Hu Lai is a toothless tiger! Then they only need to freeze Hu Lai and they can easily defeat us..."
"I don't agree with this. How can Hu Lai be so easily frozen? It's not the first day that our opponents know how powerful Hu Lai is. We need to be reminded? But have they really prevented Hu Lai? So don't worry. Worrying about Hu Lai being frozen is better than worrying about Hu Lai getting hurt..."
"Take a little Japanese to train... It really is a foreign handsome. That is to say, the foreign handsome does not understand the grievances between us and Japan. If this is replaced by a local handsome, if you dare to do this, you will immediately get out of class!"
"I still want to see that little Japan can't even participate in the World Cup finals... I didn't expect the Chinese team to release water in this game! Alas!"

"Come~EbookFREE.me~ Let's practice first." Li Qingqing clenched his fingers and put it in front of Hu Lai's mouth, "If the Chinese team loses the game, a reporter asks you what you think of the result after the game, and how would you answer it? ?"
Hu Lai refused to answer the question: "We'll talk about it when we really lose."
"What if a reporter tells you that you are not in the national team?"
"I must be 100% on the side of the team and the coach. Dillon gave me the reason for not recruiting me, and I agreed as soon as I heard it. I will definitely come out as soon as possible to sow discord."
Seeing Hu Lai say this, Li Qingqing laughed, "I'll forward it for you when the time comes."
Hu Lai waved his hand: "No need, no need, our men's football shit..."
"Your business is mine." Li Qingqing shook her head and said firmly.
Hu Lai still wanted to persuade him, he really didn't want Li Qingqing to be scolded along with him.
But when he thought about how he supported his father before, he couldn't say what he refused.
In the end, he said: "But I don't think I need to say anything in the end. We may not lose to the Japanese team. I still believe in Brother Huan and the others."
