Chapter 78: coward

"...Don't underestimate the Philippines team. They have planned European players on a large scale, and now they have become a force that cannot be ignored in Southeast Asian football. Therefore, the last group match of the national football team is definitely not like some people. As easy as you think..."
Hu Lixin heard the voice coming from his wife’s mobile phone and couldn’t help but complain:
Are you still concerned about the Philippines?

"Isn't this going to be a life-and-death battle with them?"
"Battle of life and death?" Hu Lixin was taken aback, then laughed, "It really smells like that."
"What's the smell?" Xie Lan asked curiously, turning his head.
"I used to see the taste of the national football team, and I was frightened."
Xie Lan shook his head: "That's still different. Now the life and death battle is because of the final round of the group. In the past, all national football matches were life and death battles."
Hu Lixin was speechless to his wife's serious and serious reply, feeling that the other party was right.
But he thought about it, and then said: "But originally this game shouldn't be a life-and-death battle."
"Then there is no way, who let us pull the hips in the first round of the group stage? I heard from the Internet that if the Asian Cup group stage fails to get out of the line, Dong Jianhai will dismiss the get out of class. Alas..." Xie Lan sighed here. Sighed.
"What are you sighing?"
"Contradictory, I don't know if I want their group to qualify or not..."
"..."
Xie Lan continued: "Now the Internet is all scolding Dong Jianhai, saying that he has beaten a good pair of Wang bombs sparingly. What else to say,'The Asian Cup is such an important game. The Football Association should send a member to lead the team in the future. The tiger general should also find a dog. I didn’t expect them to send a pig.’... I feel that if he continues to coach, maybe we won’t be able to get out of the next World Cup... Someone has initiated a petition online, thinking Let Shi Wuyin come out to take over..."
"What do you think? Shi Wuyin can't come out again, otherwise he wouldn't retreat." Hu Lixin shook his head.
Xie Lan had some expectations: "Why not? He just bears to watch the team he brought out to this point?"
"Because even if he returns to coaching the national team, he may not be able to do better."
"Do you know?" Xie Lan retorted.
※※※
"Yeah, this petition for you to go back to coaching on the Internet has been signed by more than 200,000 people..."
His wife showed Shi Wuyin with her mobile phone.
Shi Wuyin glanced down at his book.
"You really don't think about going back? Actually, I don't care..." the wife said again. "You have been with me long enough at home in the past six months..."
Shi Wuyin closed the book and looked at his wife: "I plan to go to Europe after the Spring Festival."
"What are you going to do in Europe?" The wife was a little surprised.
"Go around in Europe, visit their clubs to learn, and recharge yourself."
"Then come back to coach the national team again?"
"Then come back and find a club coach. I can't always stay at home without going out to work, can I? Sit down and eat..."
His wife interrupted him and asked: "The club? Are you really not going back?"
"Well, I won't go back." Shi Wuyin spoke quietly, but his tone was firm. "This team needs higher pursuits and goals. I can't bring them to them."
"But aren't you going to study in Europe?"
Shi Wuyin smiled: "I have learned enough. Besides...what do you think of my performance in the World Cup?"
"Excellent." The wife gave her husband a thumbs up.
"But I have been regretting it for six months."
"Regret? You led the team to remain undefeated... Old Shi, you are really funny, if you say this, you will definitely make people think that you are deliberately crying!" The wife laughed, as if she heard something funny. Jokes.
"I regret two things." Shi Wuyin sat upright, looking at his wife with a serious expression. "The first thing, when we were 1:1 with Russia, I replaced Hu Lai with Zhou Zijing. I shouldn't do this."
The wife's smile gradually dissipated, and doubts appeared on her face: "Why shouldn't it? Zhou Zijing was replaced to help the defense, and at the same time he can hold the ball in the midfield and delay time..."
"That's the problem, my wife... I was thinking, "You must hold this score and keep the tie."
"Is it wrong?" the wife asked.
"No." Shi Wuyin shook his head, "It was right at the time. But now I think it's wrong. I'm too timid..."
"This..." Seeing that the husband would say so, the wife didn't know what to say for a while.
"If what I think is not defense, but offense, it is to rush out and attack desperately... We may lose this game and cannot guarantee undefeated results. But we may also reap a victory." Shi Wuyin didn’t care about his wife’s reaction, and continued,
This is the first thing I regret. The second is the last match against Brazil. When I fell behind 2:3, I replaced Zhou Zijing and Jiang Wanqing at the same time. attack……"
"Isn't that right? Just because of your substitution, we finally evened the score." The wife couldn't understand and couldn't wait to interject, as if she wanted to protect her husband.
"Listen to me, wife..." Shi Wuyin was helpless, "Yes, that's right, we evened the score. But after that, I didn't let the players continue to attack, but satisfied with 3:3. The score...No, I even wish the game ended immediately, so that we could remain unbeaten in the World Cup. At that time, our momentum was completely up, if we fight with Brazil...maybe we can really beat Brazil. , Reaching the top 16?"
The wife didn't say a word because she couldn't refute it.
"But I just think...I can't lose. I subconsciously take the matter of'maintaining undefeated' very seriously. In fact, what if we lose? We can't qualify in the group if we lose, but we didn't. Ways to qualify. On the other hand, if we win the bet, we can really make history. As a result...because of my cowardice, we left a huge regret in our first World Cup..."
The wife comforted him and said: "It’s not to blame you, Old Shi. You have done your best, and no one can do better than you. And after returning to China, everyone is sure that you are leading the World Cup. No one has said dissatisfaction with the results..."
Shi Wuyin shook his head and disagrees with his wife's statement: "Others look up to me, it is to give me face, because I can't bear to criticize me for the face of leading the team to the World Cup. But I have to be clear...I can actually To do better, at least it is possible to do better. I did not do it. On the one hand, my ability is insufficient, and on the other hand, it is also my personality problem. To put it bluntly, I don’t want to take risks when I need to take risks. If you dare to take this risk, your heart is steadfast. People like me, when they lead the World Cup for the first time, may have done pretty well. But if Chinese football wants to continue to improve, I obviously can’t rely on me. So. I will not coach the national team again... at least I will not think about it for a few years."
After hearing this monologue from her husband, the wife was a little shocked: "You never told me before..."
"Because I have only recently figured out this matter. Look at this Asian Cup, did the Chinese team perform well? No good. The Internet is scolding Dong Jianhai, and the person mentioned is like Mr. Nan Guo, which is in vain. Those marketing No. Almost all of Dong Jianhai is described as a despicable villain, how unbearable and unbearable. He also attributed the responsibility of the Chinese team to the World Cup before Dong Jianhai alone... Is it Dong Jianhai's problem that Chinese football can't get out? The only problem with Dong Jianhai is that his tactical thinking and philosophy of leading the team are no longer suitable for the current football and Chinese football..."
Shi Wuyin shook his head: "Don't look at the 200,000 online petitions to let me return to the national team to coach. I dare to say all kinds of sensationalism. I want to go back. Once the team results are not satisfactory, it will be the same as now. I’m not the savior of Chinese football. I can’t do it, and I don’t want to do it. Chinese football does not need a savior. Just follow the scientific development concept and go one step at a time. The way to go... this will do."
The wife looked down at the joint petition on the phone ~EbookFREE.me~ In just ten minutes, the number of participants has exceeded 300,000.
There are also various tearful comments in the comment area of ​​the vote.
Such as what:
"I will not give black guidance in this life!"
"Guide YYDS!"
"Only by giving guidance can the national football be saved!"
"If there is no guidance, the national football team is like a long night!"
...
She looked at these enthusiastic words, then thought about her husband's confession just now, and sighed.
I don’t know how these people would feel if they knew their national football heroes but claimed to be cowards and cowards...
