According to the plan, the next day the Hong Kong team took a plane to Jakarta, Indonesia.
After checking in at a hotel arranged by the AFC, after everything was sorted out, in the afternoon, all the team members went to the preparation site for adaptive training.
Now that the team has taken the final step, another step forward is the championship. Stopping here is not what Wan Sheng wants. Although the outside world says that it is a miracle that Hong Kong, China, can reach the final, the championship is the final. Goal, Wan Sheng will never allow the team to stop here. For him, winning the runner-up is tantamount to losing, and the championship is what he wants.
Wan Sheng told all team members that they must continue to prepare for the training with a serious attitude, "The more the critical moment, the less relaxed it is!"
This is the experience drawn from time to time.
Often when the critical moment is reached, the team has reached the semi-finals and finals, and some players have relaxed their mentality. They will think that this result is already quite good, even if the final loses, it is nothing, especially for Hong Kong, China The result is already a miracle. After another game, they will be at the moment of "harvest", so their mentality will be relaxed, and the preparation for the training will not be taken seriously.
Some players will become very nervous, the more nervous the closer the game is.
Most of these are nervous. Most of them are the main players. Because they have to participate in the finals that many fans pay attention to, they will definitely play, but there is no corresponding experience, so they become very nervous.
Whether it is relaxed or nervous, it is a very bad state of mind. Wansheng must do some work to adjust the player's mentality to allow the team to meet the final in the best state.
But at this time, there was news that was not conducive to the preparation of Hong Kong, China. The assistant coach Diamares, who was mainly responsible for leading the team, left.
Diamaresde is very important in the preparation training for Hong Kong, China, but Diamares must leave. Because coaching Hong Kong, China is not Wan Sheng's main job, the head coach of Manchester City Club is Wan Sheng's main identity.
At the end of July, the Manchester City Club also began training together. As a Hong Kong coach in China, Wan Sheng must also coach the final game. Diamares, as an assistant coach, must return to the Manchester City club to help prepare for the preseason.
Wan Sheng's collective training for Manchester City. Not much worried.
In two seasons, the Manchester City team has become a rope. In addition to a few summer newcomers, other players have already adapted to the team ’s tactics. The initial stage of preparing for training is basically to do some physical recovery and state For training such as recovery, Wansheng only needs to arrange some personal training work.
But relying on Pierce alone, to shoulder all the preparations for training, is still too busy, so Wan Sheng can only let Diamares go back. This way he doesn't have to worry about preparing for the Manchester City club.
The departure of Diamares still has a certain impact on the preparation for the finals of Hong Kong, China. Many of the previous work will need to be shared by Bergkamp and Fan Zhiyi.
In terms of professional team training, Bergkamp and Fan Zhiyi can only be regarded as newcomers. They are retired stars. However, they have too little experience in team training. They are not professional and need to learn. There are many more, it is difficult for the two to do the work that Diamares left behind. Therefore, Wan Sheng still has to personally guide the team training, and his work has become much more burdensome.
There is nothing to say about the training this afternoon, nothing more than to adapt the team to the field. And adjust the mentality and state, ready to start preparing for the finals.
At the end of the training, Wan Sheng received news from the staff. Many media reporters wanted to interview the preparations for training in Hong Kong, China.
There is nothing special about this news. Media reporters have long wanted to cover the preparation training for Hong Kong, China. But Wansheng never agreed. This time there are many reporters who come here, as well as domestic and international influential big media. Wansheng had to pay attention to it.
If one considers the team ’s finals unilaterally, there is of course nothing to say, it must have refused any interview request, but he also needs to consider the Hong Kong Football Association, or consider the development of Hong Kong football, which seems to have nothing to do with him, but While leading the team to achieve good results, Hong Kong football has gained more attention, so that Hong Kong football has a better development, and it is okay to do something easily, so Wansheng announced the opening of training the next day.
This news made the media reporters interviewed very happy, especially the central TV program team. They just wanted to do a 'Hong Kong Miracle' program and take some photos of Hong Kong training in China. Wan Sheng was able to agree to the interview Since the best news.
Wansheng still takes care of the domestic and Hong Kong media. After all, they are all Chinese. The domestic and Hong Kong media also support the Hong Kong team in China.
Therefore, Wansheng has set up special privileges for several influential domestic and Hong Kong media. They can enter the training ground for shooting in the next few days, of course, provided that they do not interfere with the team ’s normal preparation training.
The media in other countries do not have this treatment.
This differentiated leadership has caused a lot of dissatisfaction from foreign media. They issued a variety of doubts, but Wansheng simply ignored it. No matter what the media said, it had no effect on his decision.
When a reporter questioned, "Why treat it differently?"
Wan Sheng said only, "I have the right to decide which media to enter the training ground for shooting interviews, and also have the right to prohibit which media to enter. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the AFC to complain to me."
He didn't care at all.
This attitude angered many media reporters, but unfortunately what they reported, Wan Sheng did not look at it. As for complaining to the AFC ... let alone what the result was, Wan Sheng would definitely not continue to coach Hong Kong, China, Asia The Football Federation can't even manage it!
Media reporters gritted their teeth, but there was no way to do it.
Wan Sheng didn't care about that, he seriously guided the team to prepare for the game.
After a day of training, Wan Sheng let the team gather and looked at the players in front of him. He talked about the current team's achievements. "The day before yesterday, we defeated South Korea and advanced to the Asian Cup final. , All of you are doing very well. "
This was Wan Sheng after that semifinal. The first public praise of players.
Some players feel very happy, but they wonder why the coach will talk about this two days later, and then, Wan Sheng's voice has a turning point. Seriously, "But, we haven't reached the moment of success! Do you remember what I said when the team first assembled? My goal is not to qualify for the group, but to focus on the championship! Many people thought at the time. We take winning the championship as a goal, which is a joke, because we are only the last team in Asia, but now? We have reached the finals! "
"But reaching the final is not the goal, winning the final is the key!"
"You all know what the outside world said. They said that it is already a miracle that we can reach the final, but now, I tell you, no."
"In the finals. We are at least second place, but now, we are still just dark horses! Do you know what dark horses are? Do not use this word as a compliment. In the 1998 World Cup, Croatia was dark horses, they won third 'Good' results; in the 2002 World Cup, Turkey was the dark horse, and they also won the third place's 'good' result. There are still many big matches in history, and some dark horse teams have appeared, and their final results are surprising. But they are just dark horses, why? "
Many players are lost in thought.
Wan Sheng didn't make them think long, and continued, "European Cup in 2004. Greece performed very well. They won the championship in the end, so is Greece a dark horse?"
"No! They are called 'miracles'!"
"Dark horses are called dark horses because they only played amazing results. They did not win the final championship. Only the champion can be called a miracle."
"Do you all understand?"
Wan Sheng concluded, "If we stop here and eventually fall to the final, the outside world will also think that we have played well, we will be the biggest dark horse in the Asian Cup, but if we win the final, beat Saudi Arabia to win Winning the championship, then we are no longer a dark horse, but a miracle-Hong Kong miracle! "
"Hong Kong miracle, what a wonderful word, do you want to be the dark horse in the Asian Cup, or do you want to create a miracle? Tell me the answer!"
There is no doubt that almost all players shouted the word "miracle".
No one wants to fall in the finals, no one wants to be a dark horse, the miracle is what everyone wants to chase.
After Wan Sheng ’s detailed explanation, the players even more hope to beat Saudi Arabia to win the Asian Cup. As Wan Sheng said, after winning the championship, many people recall that this Asian Cup will be "Hong Kong miracle" is used to describe them, and as miracle creators, they will also feel a great sense of honor.
They all long for the championship.

That night, both Central TV and Phoenix TV made detailed reports on Hong Kong's preparations for combat training under the heading "Dark Horses and Miracles."
In the report, they all praised Wan Sheng's remarks and highly affirmed the spirit of Hong Kong, China, who wanted to create miracles.
"In the interview, we can see that Hong Kong, China, from top to bottom, is filled with an endless fighting spirit. Every member of the team has invested 100% of their energy in training, and no one has talked about past games. No one talks about the upcoming game with Saudi Arabia, everyone is training as required. "
"Before, we knew that Hong Kong, China, was only a team of the last Asians, but when we really did an in-depth interview, we learned that this team still has a lot to learn ..."
In addition to the report from the host, there are also training videos from Hong Kong, China, and some pictures of Wan Sheng, Bergkamp, and Fan Zhiyi guiding the team ’s training in Hong Kong.
These are the first reports by media reporters.
Before, there was no media at all, and it was possible to take close-up shots of the preparations for Hong Kong, China, so that the preparations for Hong Kong, China have always been a mystery, and now the fans are interested in watching.
After the report, the finals of Hong Kong, China also gained more public opinion support.
However, in terms of public opinion, Saudi Arabia is not willing to be outdone. When the news of 'winning the championship' broke out in Hong Kong, China, soon the head coach of the Saudi team, Anjos, was interviewed.
From the media's point of view, this final will be a contest between the team with the most goals in this Asian Cup and the team with the fewest goals.
The Saudis scored a total of 12 goals in the previous five games, making it the most aggressive team; the Hong Kong, China game only lost two goals in the game against Iraq, and the other four games were one goal. Lost, the team with the fewest goals.
So the coach of the Saudi team Anjos said, "I will let the team continue to use the offensive football to deal with the" steel defense line "of Hong Kong, China."
"The Saudis will never be conservative. The Saudis are a team that likes to attack. We will use offensive football to deal with Hong Kong, China, like the Japanese team. This will be a very exciting technical game."
Anjos promised boldly.
Many West Asian media think. Hong Kong, China will not pose too much threat to Saudi Arabia. The only thing to note is that Hong Kong, China, should not be allowed to "sneak attack" in the semi-finals against Australia and South Korea. Both teams lost because they were "sneak attacked" by Hong Kong, China.
As long as the goal is not "sneak attacked" and the goal is guaranteed to be inexplicably missed, then Saudi Arabia can win the game, because the strength of Hong Kong, China, is indeed a gap with Saudi Arabia.
In response, Anjos said cautiously. "This is the finals. The finals are often very difficult. The finals are a life-and-death event with occasional factors. Some people make sense, but there are too many uncontrollable factors in the football game. I hope the team will win, but we Need to be cautious. "
Anjos hopes that Saudi Arabia can have more championships, so Saudi Arabia will become the first team in the history of the Asian Cup to win 4 championships, and he will also be included in the history of Saudi football.
Soon Wansheng also stood up.
This time it was not the media who went to the interview, but he took the initiative to stand up and face the game against Saudi Arabia. The chance of winning head-on is not as great as expected, so he needs to do something to make the team more likely to win.
Judging from Wan Sheng's experience, the game is not only a game, but the contests on and off the court are also very important. For example, the media's public opinion may affect the players' hearts and affect their performance.
This time, Wan Sheng explained to the media what language art is called top-notch handsome.
Surrounded by media reporters, Wan Sheng smiled and praised Saudi Arabia's performance and their offensive ability. Especially the ability of striker Kakhtani praised.
Yahir Kakhtani is the best player on the Saudi striker, and he showed his talent on the football field very early.
In 2000, 17-year-old Kakhtani joined the Saudi Qadisiya Football Club. But in the five years of Cadizia, he did not live well. Only 38 games have been played before and after, scoring 19 goals, but his talent has been appreciated by everyone.
In 2002, Kakhtani became a Saudi international before he was 20 years old.
In 2003, he represented the Saudi team in the Gulf Cup. Yahir Kahtani used continuous goals to help the team win the championship. The success of the national team made him gradually hot. After two seasons of bargaining, in 2005. The Saudi giant Hilal introduced Kahtani at a price of 5.3 million US dollars, setting a record for the Saudi League transfer. This record has not been broken so far. Kahtani is currently the most expensive player in Saudi Arabia.
Hilal's boss did the right business. Since 2005, Kakhtani has scored 48 goals in 95 games in the club and is the team's first scorer. As he continues to grow in the league, Kahtani's position in the Saudi team is becoming stronger and stronger. In the 2006 World Cup, he broke the gate of the national football team.
So far in this Asian Cup, Kakhtani has helped Saudi Arabia scored four goals, ranking first in the scorer list.
For Saudi opponents, Kakhtani must pay attention.
Wan Sheng talked about Kakhtani, "I admire him, I think he is the best shooter in this Asian Cup."
This sentence immediately delighted the Saudi media. They were extremely excited to declare that "Wansheng is likely to have chosen Yahir. In the summer, Riyahir is likely to transfer to Manchester City and successfully land in the European League." Then consider Manchester City as the Premier League. The identity of the defending champion, and the ability to directly participate in the UEFA Champions League, if Yahir can perform well, he is likely to become a world-renowned star.
After praising the Saudi offense and the opponent's striker, Wan Sheng talked about Saudi's weaknesses, "their defense is a problem, there is a saying in football that 'defense wins', I think, we want to beat Saudi Arabia's key points , It is the defense of the opponent. "
Then Wan Sheng talked about the game, "In this game, I will let the team play beautiful offensive football, this is my old business. Recently, I have made the team adapt to a new attack Way, that will give the team a new look. I think with the team ’s offensive ability, breaking the Saudi goalkeeper is not a problem. The key point of the game is how well the Saudi defense can do, and what we need to consider is It ’s an offensive. "
Wan Sheng's remarks were very confusing, and people did not know what was said.
However, the media quickly analyzed each word one by one ~ www.novelhall.com ~ and thought that Wan Sheng said very reasonable, Saudi Arabia's advantage lies in offensive, so they need to pay attention to defense, Hong Kong, China's advantage lies in defense, they You need to pay attention to attack.
Considering Wansheng's long-standing leadership style and Manchester City's gorgeous offensive football, many media believe that "this game is likely to become a clash of technical football!"
"In terms of real confrontation, Saudi Arabia has a strength advantage, but Wansheng has always been good at creating miracles, and Saudi Arabia is not 100% sure of winning."
"Now we can look forward to the game."
After making a game analysis of Wan Sheng's remarks, there were many media reports on Wan Sheng's evaluation of Saudi striker Yasir, and believed that Yasir was likely to transfer to Manchester City and officially land in Europe.
