What ball king, call me ball god

Therefore, Lin Kedi's family flew directly to Al Wakrah, Qatar on November 11.

The three group matches of the Chinese team were all in this city called Wakla.

Therefore, the base camp of the national team is naturally set up in this city called Wakla.

The base camp of the Chinese team can be said to be the most complete one among the top 32 in the World Cup. Of course, it is not just because China has money, but there are naturally some other cooperations.

And this city called Wakla, said to be a city, is actually more like a district.

Al Wakrah is only a 13-minute drive from Doha, making it just like a city in a metropolitan area.

Of course, the country of Qatar is not that big, and all the games are concentrated in major cities, so some media say that the Qatar World Cup will be the best World Cup in history for on-site viewing. After all, it is too convenient for fans to watch the game. After watching this game, it does not take too long to go to the next venue. So it's very convenient.

Now there is a large resort hotel in the northeast corner of the city of Al Wakrah, which was built by Chinese developers and will currently serve as the base for the Chinese team during the World Cup in Qatar.

After the World Cup, it will be directly converted into a resort hotel for operation. This is also a sports cooperation project between China and Qatar.

When Lin Kedi arrived at the resort hotel, he discovered that the environment was indeed very good. Not only were all facilities available, but there was also a football field for training.

There are still 12 days left before the first game of the Chinese team. Before that, the Chinese team will play one or two friendly matches. In fact, at this stage, there are still many teams that are still playing friendly matches. But this kind of friendly match Usually it's just a matter of getting the team together again.

The Chinese team made an appointment with the Thai team for a friendly match in the United Arab Emirates.

Of course it is impossible to play in Qatar, all the football venues here are ready for the World Cup.

Fortunately, the United Arab Emirates is not far from Qatar, and they played a match against the Thai team. Lippi arranged two sets of tactics in the first and second half, and Lin Kedi participated in them. However, the game against the Thai team was another friendly match, and the intensity was very low. , in fact, nothing can be seen.

However, for the Chinese team, which has not played a game for a long time, it is very important to play a game before the big battle.

Especially the opponent in the first game was the French team.

After the friendly match with the Thai team, the next few days were closed training.

If a weak team wants to score points against a strong team, the most important thing is to work on tactics and teamwork.

However, FIFA also stipulates that each national team must have open training time.

Therefore, on the 6th day before the opening of the World Cup, the Chinese team must open training for 2 hours on this day.

As soon as the Chinese team opened training here, reporters from all over the world flocked here.

Of course, there is the world's number one star Lin Kedi here.

Of course everyone came.

So, next to the training ground, basically, the cameras and lenses were focused on Lin Kedi.

After this open training, it is time for media interviews. In fact, this whole day is called media day.

Therefore, Lin Kedi also had to go to the sidelines to accept a sideline interview, and then there was an exclusive interview with FIFA, and then an exclusive interview with CCTV. The CCTV interview was conducted by Master Bai, and the standards were also very high.

It can be said that today is also a very busy day for Lin Kedi.

Because after Master Bai's online interview ends, CCTV's on-site team will conduct an exclusive interview with Lin Kedi.

and so--

Lin Kedi came to the sidelines after the two-hour training.

A bunch of reporters immediately gathered around, of course, all wearing masks.

The first person to ask questions was a reporter from Sports Monthly.

"Captain, the Chinese team's first game is against the powerful French team. Many fans may feel that this game is a sure loss. What do you think?" "There is nothing certain in football matches. I know that we face France The strength of the teams may be very different, but internally we do not think that this is a must-lose game. I have said a long time ago that the goal of this World Cup is also very simple, which is to break the past 0."

Next up is a reporter from The Times.

"The French team's 23 players are worth 10.3 billion euros, making it the most valuable national team in the world, while the Chinese team's worth is 4.5 million euros. In fact, if you look at it this way, the Chinese team's worth is actually ranked in the top 32 of the top 10. name, but we have made a very interesting discovery. Mr. Lin, you are the most valuable person in the world. According to statistics from the German football transfer market, your worth is 4.2 million euros, which means that the other 22 Chinese players together are also worth 3000 million euros. It’s only [-] million euros. So can we say that the competition between the Chinese team and the French team is actually just a competition between you and the French team.”

"Of course not. A team is always a team. I can't even play the game alone. Many of our starting players also play in Europe, and we form a team together. There are 11 people on the field, and off the field It’s 23 people, that’s unfair.”

Immediately afterwards, French football reporters also raised questions.

"I want to know what the Chinese team's goals are in this World Cup, and what are your personal goals?"

"The goal of the Chinese team is very simple. Score a goal, score a point, and win a game. This was the goal we proposed in 2002. Now 20 years later, we still have this goal. As for my personal goal? It’s important, the team’s goal is my goal.”

  After a brief interview on the sidelines.

Later, Lin Kedi accepted a remote interview in a conference room in the Chinese team camp.

Master Bai is a famous host in China, and he also has a very famous identity - an Argentinian fan.

However, at the beginning of this exclusive interview, Master Bai said directly that when I was in the World Cup, of course I was a fan of the Chinese team.

Based on this, Master Bai started this exclusive interview.

"Captain, I will just call you captain. I noticed a phenomenon. You accepted an interview six months ago. At that time, you said that the goal of this World Cup is to score a goal and score a point. Win a game. This goal was actually the goal calculated by the media at that time for the Chinese team 20 years ago. The media at that time felt that in this way, they could get a total of 4 points and advance to the knockout rounds. . But judging from the performance of the World Cup, we didn’t score a goal, didn’t score a point, and finally went home. This goal was also regarded as a shame at the time. So now you regard this as a goal If so, are you afraid of how the fans will react if you fail to achieve this goal?"

"Actually, I think this goal is very suitable for our current group. Of course, if we want to talk about world rankings, we will definitely be ranked last, but in terms of real game performance, I don't think we will be last. Scoring a goal is of course This is the lowest goal. No one of us has scored a goal in the World Cup. In this World Cup, our lowest goal is to score a goal, our mid-term goal is to score one point, and our highest goal is to win a game. If this World Cup It would be the best to be able to achieve all three goals in the World Cup. If we can only achieve one, it will be a breakthrough. In this World Cup, no matter what we achieve, it will be a breakthrough in the past. So I’m not afraid of not completing all the last three goals, as long as I complete one, for me, this is a winning competition.”

"So how do you feel about the current state of the team, everyone."

"Everyone on the team has no experience in the World Cup, so everyone is very excited. Everyone has been looking forward to the World Cup for a long time. For example, Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong actually have transfers in this summer window. They had the opportunity to go to the Bundesliga and Ligue [-], but for the World Cup and for stability, neither of them chose to leave the secondary league. Everyone is looking forward to the World Cup for a long, long time. So I can say very responsibly that every The personal condition is their best so far. Everyone has put in their best condition to face every day's training. I can say that we are completely ready. We are now extremely looking forward to the first game. group matches."

"Speaking of this first group match. You will face the French team, the number one championship team this year, and you will face the French team in the first game. Are you under a lot of pressure?"

"Of course it's big. Facing the French team in the first game is indeed not a lucky start. If we face the French team in the last game, the French team may have already qualified by then, and may not send all the main players, and may not use their full strength. , but now we are facing the French team in the first game. The French team is good for whatever purpose. They will definitely give their best to play this game. So I know that this game is very difficult to play. To be honest, Personally, my pressure is not big, but I know that many teammates are really under a lot of pressure, and I have been doing some relaxation work for them. But I believe everyone knows our pressure, our Stress is manifest and can be controlled.”

"In this game against the French team, I believe that what the opponent will do is to restrict your performance. Do you think you will have any countermeasures at this point?"

"If the French team can send three people to mark me, I think it is a good thing. After all, if they send three people to mark me, their defense and our offense will definitely be able to break their defense. I I think it is most likely that the French team will use its overall defense to limit our offense. I think it will be difficult to completely limit me."

"Are you very confident in yourself?"

"Of course. If you want to be a top athlete, you have to be confident. If you want to be an athlete like me, you can't do it all if you don't have confidence. So of course I have to be confident."

"I also noticed that the French media wrote that the entire Chinese team is worth 4.5 million euros, of which you alone are worth 4.2 million euros, so the Chinese team is your team. Regarding this matter What do you think?"

"I just answered this question to a French reporter an hour ago, but I can understand their feelings. Maybe I am worth a lot, but this is a personal level. Football is always a team sport. , maybe from the perspective of net worth, other Chinese team members are worth 1 million euros, but net worth has always been linked to performance, and net worth does not represent everything. If net worth can explain everything, then the World Cup will also No need to kick. Just declare France the winner."

"So what do you think of your own worth? I looked at the rankings of major European worths, and you are ranked first, and you are much ahead of the second-placed Mbappe. For example, the most famous German football transfer market has you His worth is estimated at 4 million euros, while Mbappe’s worth is only 2 million. You are almost double Mbappe’s worth, and other major rankings are not far away.”

"This net worth is a kind of strength assessment. As for saying that I am taller than Mbappe, this may also be considered in terms of awards and honors. After all, I have won three Ballon d'Or trophies, so my net worth must also be taken into consideration in this aspect. inner."

"Speaking of the Ballon d'Or, many people think that the gap between you and Messi and Ronaldo is only time. What do you think of this statement?"

"In the past, I would have said that I am still far behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, but now, I don't think I am any worse than them. In terms of strength, I feel that I have surpassed Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Statistically speaking, I have surpassed the statistics of Melo at his peak. The only difference now is personal honors. Both of them have 5 Ballon d'Ors. I currently have 3, well, it will be 4 soon. Wait until next year. If I win the championship once and win four consecutive championships, I can tie Messi and Ronaldo's Ballon d'Or. I think time is also on my side. I am a person who yearns to dominate. I like to be at the top. I think this position It’s already mine, maybe the only place I need to challenge is the national team.”

"When do you think the national team will be able to reach a point where it can stably enter the World Cup?"

"It's very simple, the more players studying abroad, the better. You see, there are already 9 players studying abroad. Next, the more players studying abroad we have, the better our results will be, that's for sure."

“Do you think studying abroad can solve China’s football problems?”

"Of course, this is the simplest and most efficient question. Study abroad in European leagues at various levels in Europe, whether it is the Belgian league, the Portuguese league, the Swiss league, the Austrian league. Believe me, even the Cyprus league, Their training intensity far exceeds the training level of the Chinese Super League. If we can have a player who can train in a European league since he was a child, then he will grow up to be a player of European standards. The more such players there are , the more talents we will have. This is the simplest calculation question. Now is not the time to produce results. In 5 years, 8 years later, we will have more and more overseas players, and our talents will be more and more. There will be more and more. And our group of overseas players are far from reaching their best level. The Asian Cup in January next year will be our home game, which is a good opportunity to test it. And now, The World Cup is our preview." (End of chapter)
