Batista said that Shanghai Shenhua Pacers couldn't win the game.

"We lost ourselves." Batista sat in the restaurant on the first floor of Sheraton Hotel, with a small piece of bread and a cup of coffee without milk and sugar on the plate in front of him, which was the whole content of his breakfast. Maybe he was not satisfied with the result of the 0-0 game against TEDA the night before. During the chat, coach Shenhua used the word "losing" more than once, although he also admitted that it is not unacceptable to get points from TEDA team which has just won two consecutive victories in the league and is still playing at home.

"Some things, such as technical and tactical coordination and competitive state, can be improved by some means, but some things, such as physical fitness, can only be improved gradually in training, not solved in a short time." It is precisely because of this that Batista is not satisfied with the performance of Shenhua players in the first half of the battle for the golden bid: "Before we make enough physical and psychological preparations, really, we are not a strong team."

"You can't win by walking and kicking."

Ji Mareuse didn't break his word. After the first half, coach TEDA didn't give up the attack, although Yu Tao hit the crossbar in the 3rd minute and Cao Yang was injured after a physical confrontation with Drogba. In fact, in the first 45 minutes of the game, TEDA created more goals than Shenhua. If it weren't for Wang's bravery and a little luck, Shenhua's Damon scored at least two goals in the first half.

Oriental Sports: Obviously, the first 45 minutes of Shenhua competition were unconvincing.

Batista: Yes, I am a little disappointed, too, because it is different from our previous performance. Some players can't concentrate on the game completely, which leads us to lose control of the game, while the opponent controls the ball well.

Oriental Sports: What caused this situation? It stands to reason that players can't have physical problems in the first half of the game.

Batista: This stadium is not very flat. We found this problem when we were training there the day before. Playing on such a field, players have to put some energy into it.

Protecting themselves, because they are subconsciously afraid of getting hurt. In addition, the turf of this stadium is a bit long, and it will rain during the game, which will have some influence. However, I don't want to make excuses for our poor performance. The problem lies in ourselves. We are not fully prepared for this game, because under the same conditions, our opponents performed better than us in the first half, and Shenhua's performance in the second half also proved that these are not decisive factors.

Oriental Sports: That question should be in the player's mind.

Batista: As I said before, Tianjin team is not an easy opponent to beat. They have just won two consecutive victories before, and their fighting capacity at home is very strong. We must devote ourselves to the game from the first minute and fight against our opponents. As I said before, there are some objective reasons that affect the players' performance on the court, but you must know that you can't win the game when you walk and kick.

Oriental Sports: So at half time, you made two substitutions at once.

Batista: In the second half of the game, our possession rate increased, and we could also hit the opponent's restricted area when attacking, forming a threatening shot. From this point of view, although the goal of getting 3 points before the game has not been achieved, it is still very helpful for players to have a clear understanding of themselves and passively adjust themselves in the first half. In addition, some things I arranged for the players before the game, such as keeping the distance between three lines and protecting each other defensively, were also done well in the second half.

"BIG4 needs the support of teammates"

As a striker, Drogba is not fierce.

First the defense was hit, and then it had to be replaced in the first half. Cao Yang's experience in the battles in Shanghai and Tianjin proved Drogba's tenacity. However, when Drogba's physical strength is gradually consumed in repeated sprints, "Warcraft" can only play a role in shocking opponents on the court. When the foreign aid "BIG4" in Shenhua team is getting better and better, Batista is more worried about the "dependence" caused by domestic players. "After all, the football match was played by 1 1, and Shenhua was not a four-person team."

Oriental Sports: In the final stage of the second half, Tianjin team had five defenders and three midfielders.

Batista: Any team may make such a choice when facing Drogba and Anelka, which will be our next problem. I want to say that in this game, not only Drogba and Anelka, including Moreno, but also Joel who was replaced in the second half, including Yu Tao and Wang, did their best to help the team.

Oriental Sports: Many people have noticed a detail, that is, in the second half of the game, after Zheng was replaced as the midfielder, you pushed Moreno's position to the front waist, keeping a closer distance from Drogba and Anelka. However, as the game progressed, Moreno still had to go back to the middle and back court to get the ball and then organize the attack, which also directly led to the overlap of Shenhua's back position.

Batista: In training, players are used to passing the ball to Moreno. After he moved forward, we didn't do very well in passing the ball forward in midfield. In fact, the player's position on the court is only a relatively fixed one, and the impact is not great. But as you said, the football match is played by 1 1 people, and everyone should play their part on the court. We have four good foreign AIDS on the field, but this does not mean that Shenhua is a foursome. Drogba also said that he needed more support from his teammates. Having said that, I think we must praise Yu Tao, because he has made great contributions to both defense and attack. More importantly, his devotion to the game and his desire for victory can infect every teammate around him.

"I'm glad Brazil lost."

At the press conference after the TEDA game, Batista "urged" the press officer to hold it in advance because he had to go back to the hotel to watch the final of the Olympic football match between Mexico and Brazil, even though the game had nothing to do with Argentina.

When I woke up and talked about Mexico's victory, Batista, who regarded Brazil as an "eternal enemy" both as a player and a coach, couldn't help laughing: "Can I say happy? If you can, this is my answer. "

Oriental Sports: Mexico vs Brazil, have you thought about the result of 2- 1

Batista: I didn't think about the score, but I thought about the result. But to be honest, it is normal if Mexico loses the game in the end. After all, the two strongest teams must enter the Olympic finals.

Oriental Sports: Remember when you led the team to the Olympic finals four years ago? Are you nervous?

Batista: Of course, I remember that feeling more deeply than when I was a player in the World Cup finals. After all, as a player, as long as you adjust your state and get ready to play; As a coach, you must consider many details and foresee all possible situations for fear of any omission.

Oriental Sports: In this game, the Mexican team played very fast and maintained a high rhythm of attack and defense. After you took over the Shenhua team, "fast" was also what you always emphasized. In your plan, is the Mexican team's style of play also the future direction of Shenhua team?

Batista: In fact, not only the Mexican team, but also the national team and the club team, including the team that pays attention to ball control like Barcelona, all completed the attack in a quick pass and running cooperation. Now Shenhua team, a game can play good content for one or two time periods. What we have to do now is to keep extending this period of time, ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes, more and more, which all takes time.

Oriental Sports: In order to win this game, Brazil finally sent four strikers, but it still failed to solve the goal problem. Is this also useful for Shenhua? After all, in the eyes of some people, there are Drogba, Anelka and Moreno in the frontcourt, which can completely break the door of any opponent in the Super League.

Batista: Strengthening offense does not mean increasing the number of strikers on the court, nor does defense mean hoarding 6 to 7 players in the penalty area. It is more important to form an effective system. I hope Shenhua team can achieve a balance between attack and defense, but under the current special circumstances, to strengthen the attack, we can only make some adjustments in personnel selection.
