Let's talk for the first time todayGold Cup: Canada vs Honduras!
With the arrival of Red Bull coach Marsch, Canada has cleared the gloom and reached a pinnacle in their country's history.
They are currently ranked 30th in the world, which is also the highest in history.
And this game was held at BC Plaza in Vancouver, which is also their home stadium, there is a little bit of the meaning of the right time and place.
But the problem is - they may not have "people",Because there will be some flaws in the squad.
First of all, Canada coach Marsch was suspended for receiving a red card when he played for the United States in March.
If you are in a club, because you know the league opponents very well and can do thorough preparations, the manager's suspension will not have much impact.
But in this kind of international competition, it is still an ambiguous chicken rib game, and the opponent's information is very vague, which tests the coach's on-the-spot response.
Canada will have a little more difficulty than the other national teams.
Because the Canadian Football Association was almost bankrupt before, they didn't even have the money to play friendly matches at one point.
So I can't afford to hire any luxurious coaching staff, plus Ma Shi has a total of three people, the other two are still young and inexperienced, and small countries like El Salvador have at least a five-person coaching staff.
Then, the person who replaced Ma Shi to command on the sidelines may not be very reliable.
If it's another team, you can also rely on the captain to do some command on the field.
But the captain of Canada has a problem again.
The original captain Alfonso was reimbursed for a serious injury, the vice-captain Eustacquio went to play in the Club World Cup, and the core central defender Bonbito, who had a high prestige in the dressing room, was also injured, and the big brother in the dressing room was almost swept away.
Although the national team scorer Wang David was temporarily promoted to captain.
But David didn't seem to have enough confidence in himself, and he confessed to some of his weaknesses, such as being outspoken and opening up to his teammates. This promising post-00s player is still a bit introverted, in the absence of the coach and the big brother in the locker room, can he play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army and commanding the firm? Personally, I'm more skeptical.
And David will have a problem -He hasn't found a job yet.
He will leave Lille on a free basis on June 30, but his next job has not yet been found and is still being discussed.
He is indeed very strong, he has won all kinds of golden boots such as the golden boot of this Gold Cup, so he also has high requirements for the club and the treatment.
So the question arises - does he dare to play with his life?
In this era of lack of center forwards, he has not decided on his next home for so long, I am afraid that those clubs are a little hesitant about him, if they think he is very valuable, I am afraid that he would have taken him a long time ago, after all, there is no need to pay a transfer fee.
If he is still injured in this Gold Cup, it will be a loss of blood...... Even if any wealthy family is willing to let him recuperate, the treatment given to him will be reduced.
As for himself, if he misses the pre-season training match, it will also be detrimental to his integration into the team, and he may even lose his main position.
The main thing is that it's just a Gold Cup, what's the picture?
Anyway, this Gold Cup,Of Canada's six players worth more than 10 million, only two came, I think everyone's enthusiasm for this competition is probably not particularly high.
Honduras attaches more importance to it, except for the injury of defender David Ruiz, the other main players are basically here.
They are very similar to Guatemala this morning:
One is that most of the players play in the domestic league.
The players have a very low income, and they need to be exposed, they need the opportunity to perform, so that they can be seen by foreign leagues, and they are even more motivated to play this kind of game.
The second is that the head coach is very experienced.
Guatemala's Turner is a famous Mexican coach who has coached the Mexican national team and many giants, and is coaching Guatemala with money.
And Rueda of Honduras has coached national teams such as Colombia, Ecuador, and Chile, as well as South American giants such as Flamengo, and won many championships such as the Copa Libertadores.
In fact, Rueda coached Honduras from '07 to '10, and he brought Honduras to the 2010 World Cup, ranking as high as 34th in the world.
This time he is willing to return to Honduras, maybe he still has feelings, after all, he has Honduran nationality.
Even if Ma Shi's side is fully prepared for the battle, I am afraid that he may not be able to count an extremely experienced old fox like Rueda.
What's more, Marsh is still suspended, and the assistant coach and captain don't seem to be reliable?
This kind of gold cup match, the fighting spirit is still very important, for example, Jamaica in the morning, worth more than eight times Guatemala, last Wednesday the world preliminaries just beat Guatemala, but this time it overturned, mainly because of the lack of fighting spirit and playing too casually.
So, can Honduras please the fans, and what do you think? The little wine will expect them to hold the threshold, at most a small loss!
Well, for today's other competitions, Xiaojiu will still send you text opinions in the evening. If there is anything unclear, you can ask me, "Watch the ball and see clearly", we will see you soon!
