Super Marshal

"To answer this question, I need to take a little longer."

Gao Han was obviously mentally prepared for difficult issues, and he spoke eloquently in front of the media reporters present.

"I watched the videos of all the games of the Chinese national team in the past few years, focusing on all the games in the past two years, especially the six games before the top 40. I once again confirmed what I said on Weibo The conclusion published above is that Chinese players are no worse than players from other Asian countries.”

"Even when facing what everyone calls the strongest teams in Asia, there is not a big gap between Chinese players in terms of personal abilities. So what is the reason why our players have been integrated into a national team, but it has brought everyone Such an obvious misunderstanding?”

This conclusion about Gao Han had been mentioned when he commented on the national team's game before. It caused a lot of controversy at the time. Everyone felt that he overestimated the strength of the national team, because no matter from the field of play, In terms of performance and final result, the national football team did not reach the heights Gao Han said.

Of course, during the Asian Cup, the national football team once showed gratifying changes. At that time, many people thought that Gao Han was right. However, their performance after the Asian Cup completely shattered all illusions. They felt that it was just a one-time event. It's just an extraordinary performance after being injected with chicken blood.

And now, Gao Han said this again, obviously he really believed it.

"I noticed a very interesting phenomenon. Our club team is very strong and very competitive in Asia. In the Club World Cup not long ago, Chinatown played against our Hengda team and we lost 3-0. A complete victory, but it should be noted that Chinatown also defeated River Plate 3-0 in the final and finally won the championship."

“Judging from the feedback I have received, from scouts to coaches in Chinatown, they all have a very positive impression of Hengda. At the very least, they recognize that this is a team that can represent the top clubs in Asia, and Hengda’s players are very good at the club. I performed very well in the tournament, performed very confidently and passionately, and showed my best, even when facing Chinatown."

"However," Gao Han changed the topic, "the performance of the same group of players in the national team has a different mental outlook. I dare say that their performance in the national team did not reach half the level of the club competition. This is not only It’s a reflection of Hengda and other clubs and teams.”

Many media reporters below were in an uproar. Is Gao Han criticizing the players for not doing their best for the national team?

Even Deputy Director Cai, who was sitting aside, couldn't sit still and winked at Gao Han, indicating that he shouldn't attack the international football players as soon as he took office. This would be very detrimental to his future coaching.

But Gao Han quickly smiled and waved his hand, "Everyone misunderstood me. I am not criticizing the national team for not trying their best. On the contrary, I am no stranger to them. I know that they have tried their best."

After a pause, Gao Han smiled enigmatically and said: "Then the question is, what is the reason for such a gap?"

Everyone present could not help but look thoughtful. Could it be that the national team really has a curse?

"I think the main problem lies in two aspects. One is the psychological level. Everyone basically recognizes the outstanding performance of the Asian Cup. During the Asian Cup, the mental state of the national football players was the best and the pressure was the least. They You can give your best without any reservations.”

"There is a second reason, which is that the national team's technical tactics and training have not fully brought out their level, so we need to come up with a stable set of tactics that are suitable for the players as soon as possible, because we don't have too many Time to slowly explore and prepare.”

"Of course, here, I also want to remind all the players that in my opinion, playing for the country and wearing a jersey with the Chinese national emblem is the greatest honor and affirmation for a player and a head coach in their lifetime. I will In the next period of time, I will examine the players and I want every player on the team to have enough self-discipline and overall awareness, so that the national team can form a more inseparable whole."

"If you want to become a national football player, you must not only be able to play on the court, but also have a sufficient sense of responsibility and national mission, have a spirit of dedication, and be able to assume the responsibility for the rise and fall of national football. Without such courage, responsibility and determination, I'm sorry, no matter how good you are on the court, I can't let you into the national team."

Gao Han's sonorous and powerful statement undoubtedly made everyone see his determination.

He is confident enough and has enough power to decide and dominate the stay of an international player, no matter who it is.

This is undoubtedly a wake-up call for the international football players.

"In the next period of time, my team and I will visit the training bases of each club to inspect the national football team and communicate with the coaches of each team. I hope to get everyone's advice and support and contribute to the national team as soon as possible. We have developed a set of effective tactics and we will conduct a two-week national team training in February.”

"In Group C of the top 40 where the team is currently in, our situation is indeed not ideal. We have encountered a lot of difficulties, and the hope of qualifying does not seem to be great, but what I want to say is that giving up early has never been possible. It's not my style, and the word "give up" has never been in my dictionary."

"I won't think about whether I can qualify at the end of March, nor will I think about what to do next. I will only do one thing, focus on the national team and play the remaining two games. We just need to If we win the last two games, it doesn't matter what the final result is."

Gao Han's answer is indeed a bit long, but it can be seen that he is very frank and straightforward, without any roundabout ambiguity, and goes straight to the core of the problem. Even in terms of his attitude towards players, he He also clearly stated his material selection standards and specific requirements.

As for how to reverse the unfavorable situation in the top 40, Gao Han's response was indeed not strong enough, but precisely because of this, he showed his honesty. On the contrary, if he kept preaching that the team would definitely qualify, it would be called People doubt.

With the current situation of the national football team, the odds are against the odds that they will win two games in a row, but even so, they still have to leave it to fate after winning two games in a row.

It can be said that the only thing Gao Han can do is to play these two games well. As for the rest, he has no control over it.

After Gao Han answered this question, there was a burst of warm applause.

Media reporters are using their applause to repay Gao Han's frankness and sincerity.

Many people regard the media as the enemy and a scourge, but Gao Han always believes that in the current public opinion environment, it is most beneficial to live peacefully with the media.

"Mr. Gao Han, I am a reporter from Spanish newspaper Marca. I have heard a lot of news about you recently, including the list of international players for the new training camp. There is news that you may select a large number of players from the Chinatown team. Is it true? Also, the Spanish Football Federation intends to invite Yang Xin to play for the Spanish national team. What do you think?"

Matayana did not come forward in person, but a reporter from Marca stood up and asked questions, which also caused an uproar at the scene.

It seems that Marca has received a lot of information, perhaps even far more than them.

"I would like to reiterate an interest first. My relationship with Chinatown is well known to everyone, but I can guarantee that Chinatown will not receive any special treatment when it comes to the national football team."

All media reporters present took notes carefully.

"As I just said, we will hold a two-week national team training camp in February. There will be more national players selected this time. Of course, for long-term considerations, we will select a group of young national team players to participate in the training camp. Players from Chinatown are naturally within the scope of our consideration. We will announce the list in the near future and I will call every player."

"As for Yang Xin, I know the environment he is currently in, and I also know that he is one of the most promising rookies in world football. As the head coach of the Chinese national team, of course I very much hope that he can play for China, but I I understand and respect all decisions made by him and his family. Regardless of whether he plays for China in the future, I hope he can succeed in European football, and I don’t want anyone to use this incident to attack him."

The reason for recruiting a group of young players is mainly for the future.

With the current situation of the national football team, there is not much hope of qualifying for this World Cup, but Gao Han has to take precautions in advance. If he cannot advance to the top 40, there will be no major competition in the next four years. It is Gao Han who trains young players. For the top priority task, Wang Lei, Zhao Jun, Gao Ren and others are naturally his top priorities.

What's more, he has a coaching system in hand, which is very convenient in cultivating young players. After recruiting players into the team for inspection, he will consider giving players skill cards to use during the game to make the players' progress even more. obvious.

Therefore, there will be many young players in the national team participating in the training camp in February.

But it is not easy for Gao Han to recruit these players on the list.

The schedule of the Chinese Super League is different from that of the European League. In February, every team was still in the training stage, and many teams were abroad. At this time, Gao Han wanted to mobilize their main players, and each club must be To refuse.

This is why Gao Han decided to inspect various clubs and teams in the near future, and he wanted to personally lobby.

After all, he was new here and was not familiar with the specific situation of the national football team. Without these two weeks of training, by the end of March, he was really not sure that he would be able to integrate the team.

Sometimes when I think about it, Gao Han really finds it funny.

In the past, when he was coaching the club, he hated the idea of ​​drafting international players into the national team. He almost came to blows with the national team several times. But now that he became the head coach of the national team, he suddenly discovered that when he was the national team, he The team's head coach is also very depressed.

Let's just say that he has to play a game at the end of March. He only has one week to prepare before the two key decisive battles. This is not enough, so he needs to organize a training camp in February. But the problem is that in February, the club In the pre-season preparations, the club's head coach will definitely curse when their international players are drafted.

Think about it carefully, does this mean that the butt determines the head?

Gao Han then answered many questions raised by media reporters. The most eye-catching point is that he said that the Football Association will follow the mainstream of FIFA in the near future. Once the national team is injured in the national team game, it will affect the club's game. , the Football Association will provide corresponding compensation.

This is a consensus in international football, but it is still relatively new in Chinese football.

Gao Han also hopes that this measure should be able to appropriately reduce the club's resistance.
