Super Marshal

"This is Gao Han's defensive counterattack."

Sitting in the stands of the Seoul World Cup Stadium, the Chinese team leader Li Tie said to Deputy Director Cai with admiration.

Sitting around were veterans of the Football Association and senior people in the football industry. Even if they had never played football or coached a team, they had at least watched football for many years and knew more or less what was going on, good and bad. , they can distinguish clearly.

"We were all deceived by Gao Han." Li Tie said with an admiring smile, "Everyone thought that what he was best at was attacking, but little did they know that his defense was also so good. As for the current set of the national team, With the formation and overall movement, it’s really not that easy for the Korean team to break through.”

Deputy Director Cai and others couldn't help but nod.

Whether it is good or bad can best be tested through actual combat.

South Korea launched waves of offensives after the opening, especially on the left. Son Heung-min and Koo Ja-cheol are the strongest left-wing offensive combination in Asia, but they have never been able to break through the right side of Chinatown. This is the right side of the Chinese team. Has the defense suddenly become stronger?

Not really.

On the contrary, everyone could see that Zhang Linfan, the right back in this game, was not at his best and made many mistakes. However, the reason why the Korean team failed to score was that the queues on the two lines in Chinatown and Overall movement.

"How many years has it been since we have seen the national football team play such a comprehensive football?" a Football Association veteran asked with regret, while everyone around him kept nodding in agreement.

is not that right?

Over the years, the national football team has always played sporadic football, and it has rarely been as reassuring as it is now.

"If we continue playing like this, sooner or later South Korea will be dragged down by its own mentality, and fatal flaws will definitely be exposed." Li Tie said with great certainty, and he had a basis for this.

"Yes, the goal setting before the game was too high. From the head coach to the national team, no one paid attention to the Chinese team. If the game goes smoothly, their morale will naturally be boosted, but now they can't win for a long time. , the mentality must be impatient, and many of their international players who have studied abroad have traveled long distances, and their physical fitness, condition and running-in are also problems."

"Once they fail to break through the Chinese team's defense, their mentality will become more and more unbalanced. By that time..."

When everyone saw this, they immediately understood Gao Han's game strategy. They even couldn't help but recall what happened before the game. It was obvious that Gao Han deliberately acted like a weakling from the beginning, and even intentionally or unintentionally put the Korean team on top. .

Look what he said before the game? It is fair and square to admit that the overall strength of South Korea is superior to the Chinese team.

As a Korean team, playing at home, coupled with the Koreanphobia of the past few decades, they certainly have no reason not to shout slogans to win, and Gao Han intentionally or unintentionally used this to guide China and South Korea step by step The public opinion of the two countries pushed the Korean team into a dilemma where they had to win and there was no way out.

"It's amazing. A world-class coach is a world-class coach. It seems like he has no chance of winning, but he can forcefully create a chance of winning for you. It's really hard to believe."

"Who says it's not the case? Gao Han's move is indeed beautiful, and he does live up to his title of the world's number one coach."

"In contrast, our domestic coaches have to study hard."

Everyone sighed with emotion, and Deputy Director Cai felt relieved. Since everyone said so, it proved that Gao Han's tactics were right, the players executed them well, and victory was indeed possible.

Looking at the trend in the first 20 minutes or so, the South Korean team had the advantage but struggled to score. Even in terms of the number of threats it created, the Chinese team repeatedly put pressure on them through counterattacks.

Gao Han's counterattack strategy is to use Gao Lin's tactical center advantage and Wu Lei's speed advantage to make a fuss. On the contrary, Zhang Yuning has a hard time getting the ball in the front trident, and just keeps running around.

There is one thing that everyone present, including Gao Han and the national players in the stadium, does not know, that is, the country's top leader is also watching this game on live TV. However, in order to avoid putting pressure on the team, only Deputy Director Cai knows , no one else knows.

Hope I can get it!

Deputy Director Cai secretly thought that as long as he wins this battle, Gao Han will definitely become a god in the country.

He will make everyone in the country worship him.

…………

…………

The trend of the game on the court seems to have been slowly advancing according to Gao Han's plan.

The Chinese team frequently got opportunities to counterattack, while South Korea's offense was more along the two sides, but failed to create a threat.

Stillik kept calling on the players on the field to try to play in the middle, but it was obvious that it didn't work.

The Chinese team's frontcourt trident has been exerting pressure, with the purpose of forcing the Korean team's offensive line to the wing.

This is the cold!

This is the world's top coach!

Stillik felt as if he had fallen into a trap and was helpless.

He knew very well that he was too high-profile before the game. Although this brought fighting spirit and morale to the team, it also put the whole team on the fire. Once it could not attack for a long time, especially in the second half, the team would Becoming more and more dangerous.

When that time comes, should we be more conservative and strengthen our defense?

But this rational idea was quickly thrown out of Stillik's mind, because he knew that once he did this, he would probably lose his position as the coach, and the anger of Korean fans would definitely devour him.

He has not lost to the Chinese team in decades. If he loses tonight, how miserable will his end be?

"Let them go faster and continue to strengthen their offensive on the left. This is the Chinese team's most fatal weakness!"

Stillik shouted fiercely.

This was also the clearest instruction he could give so far.

Since there is no advantage at all in terms of psychological warfare and tactical arrangements before the game, and it can even be said to be at a passive disadvantage, it is necessary to find the advantage in individual players.

Zhang Linfan is the best breakthrough point.

…………

…………

The Chinese team made a counterattack, and Wu Lei grabbed the ball in the frontcourt. However, the South Korean team's defense was very fast and quickly got back in place. However, it still gave the Chinese team a chance for a foul ball in the frontcourt.

After Jiang Zhipeng stepped forward and sent a foul ball, the Chinese team tried to organize an attack, but the ball was quickly intercepted by the South Korean team.

After stealing the ball, South Korea quickly launched a counterattack, but the Chinese team's return to defense was also very fast.

Seeing that the counterattack failed, the Korean players quickly moved to the left with a big kick, found Koo Ja-cheol, and then passed it to Sun Heung-min.

At this time, the midfielder headed by Zheng Zhi quickly moved from the left to the right. Huang Bowen immediately forced the opponent's ball player Son Heung-min. However, at the same time, the South Korean team's left back Oh Jae-suk quickly moved around. Plug it in.

At the moment when Sun Xingmin dribbled the ball and cut inside, and Oh Jae-suk stepped in, Zhang Linfan obviously hesitated. He did not hand over Sun Heung-min to Huang Bowen immediately and followed Oh Jae-suk. When Sun Heung-min passed the ball to Oh Jae-suk on the left, he thought It's too late to catch up.

"The Korean team forced a breakthrough from the left, and the left back stepped in. Son Heung-min's pass was just right."

"Wu Zaisuo caught up, passed Zhang Linfan, and passed directly..."

"Later point, Li Qinglong, the ball is scored!!!!"

"In the 31st minute, in the 31st minute, the Korean team scored!"

"We saw that this goal came very suddenly. We failed to block the South Korean team's counterattack on the right side immediately, but the ball was passed to the back point. Li Qinglong beat Jiang Zhipeng with a header and scored, one to zero. "

The moment Li Qingyong scored, the South Korean national team coach Stillik was so excited that he raised his arms high, rushed out of the coaching bench, and kept shouting.

He had been suffering for half an hour and finally scored.

Gao Han's tactics were indeed watertight, but at the critical moment, his players made mistakes in their execution and fell out of control.

This goal will greatly relieve the pressure on the Korean team. Even if it is only 1-0, they can make a difference.

What's more, what we are facing this time is the cold.

Defeating Gao Han 1-0 will shake up the Korean team and make him, the head coach, famous all over the world.

…………

…………

Gao Han slapped his forehead hard on the sidelines.

As a head coach, he has nothing to do about conceding goals like this.

So far in the game, he has not used skill cards. Everything is the player's true performance, but he did not expect to lose the ball like this, which makes him a little regretful.

To put it bluntly, there is still a certain gap in player strength.

As for skill cards, good steel is used on the blade, and it’s not time to use it yet.

"It doesn't matter." Gao Han quickly walked to the sidelines, clapped his hands vigorously, and called to the players on the court.

"Don't take it to heart, everyone, cheer up and continue the game."

Seeing the players all drooping their heads, Gao Han also felt angry.

"Hey, are you all deaf? Didn't you hear what I said? Lift your heads, cheer up, and look at me!"

At this time, the captains Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting on the field woke up, walked to the surrounding teammates, slapped them awake, and looked at Gao Han on the sidelines.

Losing a goal is not terrible. What is terrible is that the morale of the team has been lost. Then there is no need to play this game.

The Korean team over there was still celebrating. This goal completely relieved the pressure on their hearts. They had enough reason to celebrate because they had been waiting for it for half an hour.

The Chinese team leaned towards Gao Han one after another.

"Believe me, you have no other choice but to believe me!"

"I can get this ball back, and I will definitely find a way to get it back, but now - you - all focus all your energy on me and get back into the game. We can't concede any more goals, you know?"

Amidst the overwhelming sound, Gao Han almost completed the task with a roar.

The players all nodded vigorously, indicating that they had heard the coach's arrangement.

Gao Han specially walked up to Zhang Linfan, reached out and patted his wet face gently, "Don't take this missed goal to heart, you did a pretty good job, keep doing this, I believe you can do it."

Zhang Linfan was also red-eyed. Of course, he knew that his hesitation at that moment caused him to fail to block the opponent's cross from the right immediately. After hearing Gao Han's words, he nodded vigorously.

Gao Han quickly turned to Jiang Zhipeng. The left back failed to follow Li Qinglong immediately when the opponent passed the ball. The Korean winger was indeed fast, which made him helpless.

After appeasing the players, the Korean team over there also ended their celebration and returned to the court.

"Go ahead, hold on to this score, stabilize your position, and I'll show you how to win!"

Gao Han seems extremely confident. This is the only thing he can do at the moment, which is to comfort the players and let them regain their confidence.

But at this moment, the war in the stands seemed to have a winner.

The Korean fans became extremely vocal because of that goal, while the Chinese fans were filled with anxiety, uneasiness and anxiety.

They seem to have seen the uniform collapse of the national team.

Could it be that, even if we have a famous coach like Gao Han in charge, will we still lose to South Korea again?
