Super Marshal

what to do?

Gao Han was also asking himself in his mind.

He had a headache.

Queiroz's Iran has made its attitude clear. They are content with the status quo and only want to get one point in the away game. If the Chinese team also plays more safely, then it is logical that the two teams will get one point each. Iran will retreat and China will win. Even if a team draws against a strong enemy, it can also be compared.

Not only that, I am afraid that domestic fans will be proud of the national team's performance by then, and domestic media reporters will definitely feel regretful, praising the national team for being proud of their defeat and being tied by their opponents with a controversial penalty kick.

With two matches, one win and one draw, Gao Han's achievements in the Chinese team will also be praised by the world.

All of this looks so beautiful.

The only regret should be that Gao Han will end his winning streak and encounter the first draw of his career.

But Gao Han himself didn't pay much attention to this so-called record. From the day he took over the Chinese national team, he knew very well that this so-called record would be broken sooner or later. The only difference was who broke it.

Queiroz?

That is indeed a very good choice, especially in a game like this.

Well, it seems that a draw is not unacceptable.

But is this really the case?

Gao Han squinted his eyes and looked directly at the group of international players wearing red Chinese national team jerseys on the court. He couldn't help but ask himself, "Is it really acceptable?"

In the past few years, Gao Han has watched the national football games and complained time and time again that the national football players gave up too early, refused to make up their minds at critical moments, and fought to the bitter end with their opponents.

But now? Do you really want to become the head coach of the national team that you hated in the past?

In the past few years, Gao Han's brilliant achievements have never been achieved through compromise. He has fought countless games in a sea of ​​​​blood and corpses, and he has achieved it with great difficulty under a mountain of pressure.

He was in danger in countless games, and even struggled to hold on until the last moment.

Looking back now, his achievements are very impressive and his resume is very glorious, but behind the brilliance and glory, there are fights one after another. It is the determination to never give up that supports himself. Supporting his team.

"Did you forget it?" Gao Han murmured to himself.

The Chinese team is indeed very weak, weaker than any team Gao Han has coached in the past, even Atletico Madrid's second team, but so what? Is it because of this that I have to give up what I have persisted in for the past ten years?

If this is the case, what is the difference between him and the previous head coaches of the national team?

Gao Han thought of this, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Sergio Garcia and Buenaventura behind him, and winked. The two assistants who were paying attention to him also immediately noticed. It means high cold.

Soon, Gao Han returned to the coaching bench and started consultations with his assistants.

At the same time, on the court, the Iranian team gave up pressing in the frontcourt and concentrated on the defensive, giving up a lot of possession to the Chinese team. However, at this time, the Chinese team still focused on safety and waited for Gao Han's decision.

And some people began to notice that Zhao Mingjian began to run out from the Chinese team's bench to warm up.

In the 73rd minute, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Gao Han called Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting to the sidelines. After giving some instructions, Zhao Mingjian also walked to the sidelines to make substitutions.

This time, he replaced central defender Mei Fang.

…………

…………

For the Chinese team players, Queiroz is very helpless because there are too many versatile players.

Just like Huang Bowen, he can play as a defensive midfielder, but in this game he started as a central midfielder, and was later adjusted to the right.

There is also Zheng Zhi, who played most as a defensive midfielder under Gao Han, but he also played as a central defender in this game.

All in all, the position of the Chinese team's players can be described as dazzling in Queiroz's view.

So this time Zhao Mingjian replaces Mei Fang, how will the Chinese team play?

The answer was soon revealed.

Zhang Linfan returned to the central defender, and Zhao Mingjian served as the right back.

Gao Han's intention for this substitution was very obvious. He made it clear that he was telling everyone that he was not willing to settle for a draw and would continue to attack. After the game restarted, the Chinese team's formation also returned to four from the original four-four-two. Three three, not only that, the two full-backs are also positioned further forward.

"Gao Han is still Gao Han. Even now, he still refuses to give up." Queiroz praised.

In European football, what Gao Han is as famous as his undefeated streak is that the teams he leads are often determined to win. Every player is willing to fight to the end in order to win the game. moment.

This trait has brought Gao Han countless victories and conquered countless fans for him.

Back then, when they were 0-3 behind, they unexpectedly came back to win the Champions League. This is the best proof and it is also a classic matchup not to be missed in the history of the Champions League final.

In this regard, Queiroz did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

He knew very well that with a head coach like Gao Han in charge, the remaining twenty minutes would not be easy at all.

…………

…………

"The boss said that we must win this game."

"We want to use this game in Shenyang to tell everyone that today's national football team is no longer what it used to be. If we can defeat South Korea in the away game, we can defeat Iran at home."

"Never give up until the last moment!"

With captain Zheng Zhi and vice-captain Feng Xiaoting conveying Gao Han's instructions, and Gao Han replacing Mei Fang with Zhao Mingjian, all players on the field have clearly received the signal that coach Gao Han wants to convey.

Even if he fights to the last minute, he will never give up.

And all the players, whether it is out of empathy or for their future position in the national team, at this moment they can only grit their teeth and fight to the end with Gao Han.

After the game restarted, the Chinese team began to get the ball in the midfield and backcourt.

After tying the score, Iran's game strategy tended to be conservative, with less pressure in the frontcourt and more room for the Chinese team to get the ball in the backcourt. In addition, Gao Han's attitude was very clear and he would fight to the end, so Players have also gradually found the feeling of controlling the ball in the midfield and backfield.

The team's offense relies more on the wing. The two full-backs Jiang Zhipeng and Zhao Mingjian began to actively participate in the frontcourt attack. Zheng Zhize still stayed at the end, closer to the central defender, and the position of the frontcourt trident was not fixed. , Huang Bowen is on the right when defending, but when attacking, he runs more to the middle, leaving the entire right to Zhao Mingjian who comes in from behind.

After coming on as a substitute, the physically fit Zhao Mingjian was very active on the right.

The first time he got the ball after coming on the field, he tried to break forward from the right wing. When he seemed to be about to pass down the bottom, he suddenly stopped and spiked the ball, cut in laterally, and sent the ball into the penalty area.

However, in the penalty area, Zhang Yuning did not handle the ball well in the first stop, which resulted in the subsequent shot being missed. The ball was directly blocked by the opponent's defender.

But outside the penalty area, the Chinese team once again controlled the ball and passed it to the right.

It was Zhao Mingjian who took the ball on the right, attracted the attention of the defensive player, and suddenly passed the ball to the front of the penalty area. Without thinking, Huang Bowen stopped the ball and started to play.

This area is Huang Bowen's best and most confident area, and this shot was of very high quality, but it was still slightly higher than the crossbar and became a goal kick for the Iranian team.

Two consecutive attacks created a threat, causing the Iranian team's defensive players to break out in a cold sweat. It also forced Queiroz to make a second substitution adjustment to strengthen the team's backcourt defense.

But even so, in the 81st minute, Zheng Zhi suddenly got the ball in the midfield and quickly drove the ball forward, completely disrupting the Iranian team's defensive position and sending the ball to Hao Junmin's feet. The player directly kicked the ball in front of Wu Lei in the penalty area.

When the ball arrived, Wu Lei reluctantly took off the ball due to the interference from the opponent's defender, but failed to hit the ball with enough force. His soft shot was easily saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, failing to create a threat.

However, the Chinese team's continuous attacks still made the Iranian team feel the pressure and ignited the fighting spirit of the fans in the stands.

They have not seen such a desperate Chinese team for a long time, and they would never have imagined that when facing the powerful Iranian team, Chinese players would dare to attack.

Their determined expressions can be clearly seen on each of their faces.

Yes, head coach Gao Han is not willing to accept a draw, and they are not willing to accept it either.

Even the South Korean team, which they have not defeated for decades and are feared by countless international football players, can defeat them three to one in the away game. So what else is there that they dare not do and cannot do?

Iran?

Queiroz is conservative!

No matter how many reasons he gave for his decision, no matter how well-founded he was to prove that his retreat was a wise choice, one thing was certain, and that was that he retreated.

He was grateful for the lucky penalty, and he began to be conservative and just wanted to get that point.

Queiroz's conservatism was passed on to the court, and it was also felt by the Iranian internationals.

Sometimes morale is like this. It's leaked, and it's not that easy to get it back again.

Especially after entering the 85th minute, Gao Han entered the coaching system again and used all the skill cards in one breath to form a combination of rapid progress, accurate passes and iron walls, which made the Chinese team even more confident on the court. They formed a suppression and launched attacks and impacts on Iran's penalty area and goal again and again.

Under the wave of offensives, Iran has also stubbornly struggled to support itself.

Both teams fought until the very end, relying purely on their mutual will and desire to win.

In the 86th minute, the Chinese team replaced veteran Zheng Zhi with Zhang Xizhe and pulled Huang Bowen back to the midfielder position, but still strengthened the offense in the frontcourt.

Through this substitution, Gao Han made everyone feel his determination.

He just wants to risk everything and fight to the death with the Iranian team.

Even if he really couldn't score in the end, or even suffered a counterattack by the Iranian team, he would fight Iran to the end.

He would never give up until the last moment.

The international players on the court also felt the determination of the head coach on the sidelines. They insisted on gritting their teeth and continued to attack the Iranian team. As the game progressed, the Iranian team basically began to defend with all its strength, and the players of the national team also began to become more focused. Dare to take the ball, especially Wu Lei in the frontcourt.

In the 88th minute, Wu Lei received a through ball from Hao Junmin on the left side of the penalty area. With the help of the assault card, he turned around nimbly to get rid of the defensive player and dribbled the ball diagonally to break through. But just as he watched, When he was about to enter the penalty area, the Iranian right back fouled while defending and knocked Wu Lei down at the front of the penalty area, giving him no chance to enter the penalty area and cooperate with his teammates.

Obviously, they knew exactly how the goal was conceded in the first half.

The referee also quickly blew the foul whistle, gave the Iranian international a yellow card, and also gave the Chinese team a free kick opportunity on the left side of the penalty area.
