Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Chapter 491 Heroes gather together for a world feast!

Mexico was stunned by the Netherlands' quick counterattack in the first half.

The second half became very cautious.

The Dutch team had no ambition to expand their victory in the second half.

Strengthen defense step by step, compress space, and move in and out quickly in positional battles.

Then just wait and see how Mexico performs.

Mexican fans watching the game couldn't help but angrily criticize the Dutch team for being stubborn.

It was not until 80 minutes into the game that Mexico launched a counterattack.

The Dutch team has an ideal counterattack environment again.

However, the key link in the transition between offense and defense was not done well, the quality of the counterattack was not flattering, and ultimately failed to seize the opportunity to continue scoring goals.

The first warm-up match is over.

Netherlands 2:0 Mexico.

Shen Hao used diplomatic language when commenting on the game after the game.

The team performed as expected.

And now, whether he is preparing for training or directing and dispatching on the spot, the players can be said to follow his words like an imperial edict.

Dutch players are the ones European players like to ask the most, but they become obedient in front of Shen Hao.

The eyes they looked at Shen Hao seemed to become particularly clear, and it was obvious that their minds were empty and there were no other miscellaneous thoughts.

Follow Shen Hao's command wholeheartedly.

Continue to prepare, adjust, and train.

Shen Hao, Stam and De Boer exchanged their views on the players' status and strength after training every day to formulate employment plans after the World Cup.

The Dutch team's opponent in the second warm-up match is Ghana.

Sneijder and Van Bronckhorst reported back to the team the day before the game.

Sneijder has healed the pain of losing the Champions League final. At least Inter Milan will also celebrate winning the league and Italian Cup, which will speed up the pain relief to a certain extent.

Van Bronckhorst celebrated his treble in Leeds before spending three relaxing days with his family.

In this warm-up match, Shen Hao put the two of them on the bench.

The Dutch team made some positional rotations.

The tactical ideas and playing methods remain unchanged.

There are no big-name players in the Ghana team's lineup.

Essien, the biggest player, is still recovering from injury.

Therefore, it seems that Ghana's lineup is very civilian.

There will be some players with good potential, but they have not yet reached their peak, and the average team average of overall strength is only 150.

Objectively speaking, the Ghanaian team in the Premier League is at best a little higher than the relegation team.

The Dutch team's home game against Ghana is like a social person beating a primary school student.

African teams' understanding and application of techniques and tactics are completely incomparable with European teams.

When the Ghana team adopted a balanced offensive and defensive strategy to face the Dutch team, it naturally gave the Dutch team more frequent opportunities for quick counterattacks.

Today Robben partners with Huntelaar.

In the context of space, Robben was like no one in the frontcourt.

Huntelaar is responsible for seizing the opportunity to eat the pie.

Ghana seemed to be undergoing a defensive military training.

In the end, the Dutch team swept Ghana 4:0 at home.

Now as long as the opponent gives the Dutch team the space and opportunity to counterattack, the Dutch team's counterattack efficiency has reached a very good level.

Dutch fans looked at the team's warm-up match results and became more confident.

After daily training, players will sign autographs in front of the iron fence of the training camp to some fans outside the wall. Now many fans are beginning to expect players to get Shen Hao's autograph for them.

The Dutch team's last warm-up match was against Hungary.

This was Shen Hao's intention.

I hope that the team can show confidence in the last warm-up match before the World Cup, which can be regarded as a change of direction and pressure reduction.

6 month 5 day.

The third warm-up match of the Dutch team has arrived.

Sneijder, Van Bronckhorst returned to the starting lineup.

Kuyt and Huntelaar were first dispatched to the front line.

Even though the Dutch team played a good offense, Hungary was obviously wary of the Dutch team's fast break and counterattack.

Compared to the last game against Ghana, the Dutch team did not have as many opportunities to counterattack.

They can only rely on waves of fast breaks to create threats.

In this case, Kuyt and Huntelaar appear to be lacking in strength.

In the second half of the game, Shen Hao replaced Robben and Van Persie.

At the same time, tactical adjustments were made during the halftime break.

Inglal was more active in assisting Sneijder in the midfield, and the full-backs were also more active in supporting.

The principle remains the same, fast in and fast out.

Go up with caution and come back in time.

The quality of the Dutch team's fast break improved rapidly in the second half.

Under the dual positive effects of fine-tuning of play style and substitutions, the Dutch team's offense, although simple, still produced good quality.

Robben and Robin van Persie teamed up to score four goals, plus Huntelaar's goal in the first half and Sneijder's goal in the second half.

The Dutch team slaughtered Hungary 6-0 at home!

The three warm-up matches are over.

The Dutch team won all three matches.

Compared with the media counting how many goals they scored, their offensive firepower increased.

Shen Hao is more concerned about the team's defensive performance in keeping clean sheets in the three warm-up matches.

There are only eight days left before the first round of their World Cup group stage match.

Before heading to South Africa, Shen Hao gave the players a holiday in the training camp.

He looked at the 23 players and said calmly and naturally: "Before going to South Africa, I will give you 3 days of vacation. You can do whatever you want during these 3 days, but make sure you can come back. Yes, I mean As long as you don't get hurt and don't break the law, you can do whatever you want.

Including you can go to the red light district to relax alone or with a few people, no problem.

But after three days of vacation, when we come back, we will gather together to go to South Africa, and you can no longer leave the team without permission.

I have discussed with Chairman Kessler that the Football Association will provide you with time to meet with your family during the break during the World Cup, so you don't have to worry about not being able to see your family for a long time in the future.

Okay, go relax. If you don't show up when you return to the team in three days, your flight to South Africa won't be waiting for you. "

Shen Hao's decision surprised the Dutch generals and coaching staff.

However, given that the Dutch team has always had some scandals during past competitions, such as players going to have fun or going to nightclubs together.

Originally, sex education was liberalized in the Netherlands.

In a country where secular ethics are strong, they seem to be too wasteful.

But in the eyes of the Dutch themselves, this is just normal life.

Otherwise the red light district would have been illegal long ago.

Give them a space to relax before going to the World Cup. As for having fun, Shen Hao doesn't care.

Could it be that if he said not to go, the players would control their desires?

It is better to block than to open up.

Players who are married and have families will most likely go home to be with their families.

Those who have girlfriends must be tired of being with their girlfriends.

And if you're single, it's normal to have fun.

Shen Hao gave the players a holiday, but he didn't.

The World Cup group draws were announced less than half a year ago.

The Netherlands' opponents in the group stage are Denmark, Japan, and Cameroon.

Shen Hao must concentrate on studying his opponents and formulate a general plan for each game.

When the World Cup comes, adjustments and improvements will be made based on the performance of these opponents.

Stam and DeBoer both stayed on to work with him in training camp.

Even Shen Hao gave them a holiday.

But the two of them took the initiative to stay.

The training camp staff has gone home.

The three of them take out food in the morning and lunch, and eat together at a local restaurant in Rotterdam for dinner.

Even while eating, the three of them would exchange information on preparing for war.

Both Stam and DeBoer were once top defensive players.

Therefore, when they study their opponents, they will definitely be able to give Shen Hao some insights on how to limit his opponents.

Observing the characteristics of the opponent's players based on their video performance will make it more efficient to find entry points in targeted protection deployment.

For example, if some opponents' forwards are weak with the reverse foot, the defense will force the opponent to use the reverse foot and strengthen the ability to control the ball with the dominant foot.

Some teams have high quality crosses, so when defending, they must suppress the efficiency of their opponents' crosses.

And so on, and so on.

The Dutch media followed and reported Shen Hao's every move.

The Chinese young marshal’s devotion to his work moved the Dutch media.

The team is on holiday, but he is still working.

And after dining the next night, the restaurant staff discovered that there were some napkins written with pens on the table where Shen Hao and the other three were dining. There were formations and movement arrows on them, with both erasures and completely crossed-out negations.

They couldn't help but be moved by the details reported by the Dutch media.

three days later.

The Dutch national team gathers in Amsterdam.

Amid the blessings of the local Dutch media and countless fans, the Orange Tulips, led by Chinese coach Shen Hao, boarded a flight to the African continent.

Green World's four-year global feast is about to kick off.

The last World Cup champion Italy, runner-up France, the last European Cup champion Spain, runner-up Germany.

This is the favorite from the European continent who is considered the favorite to win the World Cup!

The South American duo of Brazil and Argentina have players recognized as the strongest in the modern era.

Kaka and Messi!

The European and South American powers are the protagonists in winning the World Cup and dominating the world.

In the history of the World Cup, only teams from these two continents have won the World Cup.

Africa, North America, Asia, Oceania, every World Cup is a stepping stone or a role to accompany the prince to study.

In addition to the six teams in the first tier of favorites to win the championship, the Dutch team is obviously in the second tier. This tier includes second-level traditional strong teams such as England, Portugal, and Uruguay.

The capital of South Africa, Johannesburg.

When the Dutch team arrived, media gathered at the exit of the airport to take photos, and some media reported the arrival of the World Cup team live.

The Dutch team arrived relatively late.

The World Cup will start the day after tomorrow.

But their first game in the group stage will be five days later, so the tight schedule is not a problem in terms of time rhythm.

The local reporters in South Africa shouted excitedly to the camera: "The Chinese coach Shen Hao, who has just led Leeds United to win four consecutive Champions League titles, arrived in South Africa with the Dutch team! He is a superstar among football coaches! He will lead the Netherlands in How is South Africa doing?”

The weather in South Africa is hot, so the Dutch team naturally wears short-sleeved shirts when they go on the field. The short-sleeved T-shirts have the Dutch national team emblem printed on the left chest.

Shen Hao appeared in Johannesburg and attracted everyone's attention.

There were even media reporters from China waving to him excitedly.

Shen Hao looked at the person walking towards him and smiled.

The tall Radebe has a work permit from the South Africa World Cup Organizing Committee hanging on his chest.

The first captain in the era of tyrants was in high spirits, and his expression could not hide his excitement.

He shook hands with Shen Hao first, then hugged, and then said with emotion: "BOSS, long time no see. I have been following Leeds United's performance in South Africa. It's amazing. You have made Leeds United greater than ever before!"

Shen Hao smiled and said: "It's a pity that you retired too early."

Radebe smiled and then walked side by side out of the airport with Shen Hao.

He has previously provided help to the Dutch Football Association team and made some plans for the Dutch team's South Africa trip.

The itinerary for the group stage is confirmed, so hotels and training arrangements are planned well in advance.

But assuming the Dutch team advances to the knockout rounds, it is a good idea to formulate plans based on different situations.

Before walking to the bus, Radebe said to Shen Hao: "On behalf of the South African World Cup Organizing Committee, I sincerely extend an invitation to you for the opening ceremony the day after tomorrow. I hope you can attend the opening ceremony of the World Cup."

Anyway, the Dutch team will be in Johannesburg these days, and there is no need to travel across the city. Shen Hao can agree without any burden.

But he still made a request.

"I can go, but the South African organizing committee has to provide the Dutch team with at least VIP-level tickets. I won't go alone."

Radebe hesitated only slightly, then smiled and nodded: "That's no problem. If you need help with any questions in South Africa, please contact me directly. On the day of the opening ceremony, I will arrange a car to pick you up."

"That's not necessary. We have a car. We just need to arrange our seats when the time comes."

Radebe reassured.

Then he watched Shen Hao and the Dutch team board the bus.

The Dutch team successfully checked into the hotel and took a short rest.

Shen Hao once again reiterated to the players on the team the disciplinary issues involved in the World Cup.

Players will be given free time, but they must go out in groups of at least three to avoid getting into trouble due to unexpected situations.

The South African World Cup Organizing Committee also arranged guides for them.

After dinner in the evening, Shen Hao returned to his room and put down his work.

Basically 95% of the work that should be done before coming here has been completed.

All that's left is to keep up with the team's own status and observe the opponent's movements.

He made a video call to his family.

Li Fen appeared on the mobile phone screen holding Shen Zhiping.

"Is everything going well for you guys?"

"Well, it's just that it's too hot in South Africa. Some special delicacies will lose your appetite after just one taste."

"We don't seek to do as the locals do, we should open our eyes and see the world."

After Shen Hao chatted with his mother for a while, he chatted with Bai Muxin for a while.

When they came to South Africa this time, Shen Guoqiang, Li Fen, and Bai Muxin had to take care of four children: Arthur, Shen Xiuqi, Shen Zhiping, and Shen Yao. Fortunately, Shen Yao was a precocious child. As the uncle of the other three children, he was still very sensible. Share responsibilities for adults.

They stayed in the city's top hotel, with two large suites and four standard rooms for bodyguards, drivers and nannies.

At the same time, Tang Jinyu and Chen Hao also came to South Africa with their families, as well as brother and sister Xiao Zheyuan and Zhao Xin who had a young model girlfriend. They all traveled with Shen Guoqiang and took care of each other.

Vanessa Kirby went to work, while Tan Youyou returned to China to have a baby and is expected to give birth next month.

Shen Hao chatted with the children for a while, but was finally asked a question by Shen Yao that he didn't know how to answer.

"Brother, why are you the head coach of the Dutch team, and why are you not the head coach of the Chinese team?"

Shen Hao:...

Finally, he said to Shen Yao: "If one day you represent the Chinese team in the World Cup, I will be your coach."

"Okay, it's a deal!"
