On January 26, Beijing time, the World Preliminary Round of 12, the Pre-match press conference of the Chinese men's football team against Japan was held. Li Xiaopeng and Wu Xi attended the press conference together, and Li Xiaopeng's answer to the tactics of facing Japan was very simple, that is, to formulate tactics to retain hope. Finally, a Japanese reporter asked the question of the naturalized players, and Li Xiaopeng's high emotional intelligence answer was very wonderful.
In the first 6 rounds of the World Preliminary Round of 12, the national football team under the leadership of Li Tie achieved 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, ranking 5th with 5 points, and the Japanese team ranked 2nd with 12 points from 4 wins and 2 losses, and the two teams met in the first leg, and the national football team lost 0-1 to Japan. In this game, if the national football team wants to continue the hope of qualifying, it must beat Japan on the road, which is also the debut of the new coach Li Xiaopeng.com. At the pre-match press conference, Japanese coach Hoichi Mori stressed that the team's goal is to directly qualify for the World Cup, and did not know the new coach of the Chinese team, Li Xiaopeng, only that he had coached in Wuhan before.
Li Xiaopeng and captain Wu Xi attended the press conference together, for this game, Li Xiaopeng frankly said: "We face the second-ranked team in Asia away, all the players are ready, I hope they calm down, focus on the game, tactical aspects, we hope to play our characteristics." Captain Wu Xi said of the game: "I think away against Japan, the fans to enter the game is good for them, it is difficult for us, of course, this is also our opportunity, the entry of the fans will have an impact on our mentality and state, we will also put down the burden, relax the mentality, and strive to play a wonderful game." ”
In a previous interview, Li Xiaopeng said that the players who arrived in Japan from Shanghai were in good shape, and Jiang Guangtai, Wu Lei, Luo Guofu and Alain arrived in Japan from overseas, and their status still needs to be observed through training. For the latest state of the 4 players, Li Xiaopeng also gave his own answer: "They are in good shape, this game can play, the physical state can be." "This game against Japan, Luo Guofu is suspended, wu lei, Alan and Jiang Guangtai can play.
A reporter mentioned that the Japanese side knows less about Li Xiaopeng and the changes in the Chinese men's football team, and the Chinese team knows more about the situation in Japan, whether this is the advantage of the Chinese team, Li Xiaopeng said: "I think the most important thing in football is the strength of the players and the overall strength of the team, I will also put my understanding and tactics on football, strive to instill in my players, play a wonderful game, and the final score is determined by the players on both sides of the field." ”
Judging from the current situation, if the national football team loses to Japan, it will certainly not be able to enter the World Cup with the previous two results, and it will be more difficult to compete for the qualification for the play-offs. When asked what kind of tactics will be chosen against Japan, Li Xiaopeng said bluntly: "For the Chinese team, there is still a glimmer of hope, and all tactics are formulated around retaining hope." Finally, a Japanese reporter mentioned that many teams in the Chinese Super League encountered an operational crisis, and Brazil's naturalized players also terminated their contracts with the team, and Li Xiaopeng's answer to whether such difficulties affected the national football team was very wonderful: "Just now this gentleman just saw a bad side, did not see the good side of China's economy, this time naturalized players came to the team from far and wide, you can see their love for Chinese football, to help Chinese football." ”
