In one day, the Qatar Asian Cup will begin. In two days, the Chinese men's football team will usher in the first game of the group stage. As the absolute main force of the team, Wu Lei, who participated in the last Asian Cup, said that he very much hopes that the national football team in this Asian Cup can go further than the last one.
Calmly face the poor results in the warm-up game
During the preparation for the UAE, the national football team did not perform well in the warm-up matches, and the team was under a lot of pressure. In this regard, Wu Lei did not evade: "The warm-up game is not particularly good in terms of results, and some time ago it was mainly for physical fitness to strengthen training, there is a certain reason for this." Coming to Doha, the whole team, both physically and mentally, has slowly entered the rhythm of the game and is getting better and better. ”
Wu Lei also specifically mentioned the team's loss to Hong Kong, China, and said that he was mentally prepared for it: "I did read some ** on the Internet, but as a professional player, I have come over for so many years." In the face of **, in the face of difficulties and pressure, in fact, it is not only this time. I've been in this environment for so many years. We players have such psychological preparation, and we also believe that we can deal with this kind of environment and turn it into motivation. ”
The first game is already in the heart
On January 13, the Chinese men's football team will usher in the first match of the group stage of this Asian Cup, and the opponent is the Tajikistan team. After a long preparation period, Wu Lei also said that everyone already has a spectrum in their hearts.
From day one, the manager emphasised to us, including the warm-up matches, that all the purpose was to prepare for the first game, to prepare for the first game, and we prepared for a long time. The first game was also very crucial for our qualifying situation. Confidence in the team is also key. Everyone was well prepared. Wu Lei said.
As a veteran in the team, Wu Lei also said that he would do his best to help the young players face the pressure and play the first game: "Now most of the team is participating in the Asian Cup for the first time, and they have not experienced such the highest level of competition in Asia. We, who have participated a lot, often communicate with them to help them smooth their mentality and turn pressure into motivation. ”
If you want to win, scoring goals is crucial. As an important member of the national football team's forward line, Wu Lei also talked about his expectations for goals: "Actually, I don't think much about my goals, but I still mainly consider the team's results." I hope that we can catch up with the results of the last edition, and I hope to go further than the last edition. ”
