Super Marshal

Complete victory!

After the Chinese team defeated Qatar 3-1 at home and won five consecutive victories in the top 12, the authoritative party newspaper published this headline on the cover, but the background was Zhang Yuning throwing away the defensive players at the beginning of the first half and pulling away. The scene where the ball turns and is pushed.

The article reports that after two weeks of training, Gao Han has brought huge changes to the national team, which has been clearly demonstrated on the scene, including the improvement of the players' mental outlook and the smoothness of the team's entire offensive system. There was a huge difference before.

"Except for the chaos at the end of the first half, the national football team firmly suppressed Qatar throughout the game. Not only was the final result satisfactory, but even the process of the game was impeccable."

Throughout the game, Qatar only had 33% of the ball possession rate, while the Chinese team's ball possession rate was as high as 67%. This in itself is enough to prove the national football team's advantage in passing and controlling the ball on the court.

The number of passes and receptions is three times that of Qatar. The pass success rate is as high as 78%, which is much higher than Qatar's 51%. The number of shots has also reached 26. Qatar only had a measly six times, a gap of more than four times.

What further reflects the offensive threat is the number of times the Chinese team has penetrated the opponent's 30-meter zone. The Chinese team has scored more than 140 times, while Qatar has only scored a dozen times, which is close to a ten-fold gap. What is the reason for such a disparity? The thing is, most of the game was played inside Qatar's half.

Even in terms of the number of corner kicks, the Chinese team had 16 and Qatar only had 2.

The data may not fully reflect the entire game, but at least it presents the Chinese team's advantage in the game very intuitively, allowing everyone to clearly feel the changes in the Chinese team.

It can be said that in this game against Qatar, the Chinese team was obviously more confident than the previous game against Syria, and their offensive routines and methods were more abundant. This is enough for everyone to feel the progress of the Chinese team.

The authoritative party newspaper attributed this change in the national team to the training of the players by the coaching staff headed by Gao Han, believing that the top coaches have such strength. Compared with the previous four games, the Chinese team's offense in this game The threat is significantly greater.

"It can be said that this game is truly a game with high-altitude technical and tactical characteristics. The Chinese team completely controlled the situation and Qatar did not create many threats."

However, the authoritative party newspaper also issued a reminder that this game also reflected the bottleneck of the national football team. The overall strength of the team has basically reached the ceiling. If it were not limited by the strength of the players, last night would have been a big game. massacre.

"Through the first battle in China, we should see progress, but at the same time we should also see shortcomings. As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger. Five consecutive victories gave us a good start, but we will face two tough battles with South Korea and Iran. , will continue to pose a threat to us. Only by defeating these two major opponents can we truly enter the World Cup."

The analysis of the authoritative party newspaper is not wrong at all.

After the five games in the first round of the group stage, the Chinese team surprisingly ranked first in the group with five consecutive wins. Iran was tied with Syria 0-0 in the away game and finally ranked second in the group with ten points. The South Korean team scored three points by defeating Uzbekistan 2-1 at home and ranked third with seven points.

Uzbekistan follows closely behind, followed by Qatar and Syria.

Judging from the current situation, the Chinese team is undoubtedly the best, leading the second-placed Iranian team by as many as five points. However, there are still five games in the second round-robin, and the five-point lead is not enough to ensure that the Chinese team will advance ahead of schedule. Advance, especially when facing the two powerful enemies of South Korea and Iran.

Therefore, the next two games are very critical.

While the authoritative party newspaper praised the national football team, journalists from all walks of life and major media at home and abroad also praised the national football team.

FIFA's official website commented on the game immediately after the game, believing that the Chinese team played like a strong team in this game. Gao Han has deeply imprinted his soul in China, and the team has also improved significantly compared to before. Big progress.

All walks of life also highly recognize and praise Gao Han's coaching of the national team. Football associations and newspapers in various provinces and cities have published comment articles praising the national team's five consecutive victories, believing that Gao Han has injected the gene of a strong player into the national team.

"The players are obviously still the same group of players, but the competitiveness shown on the court is obviously very different."

"The Chinese team in the top 40 was like a lamb ready to be slaughtered, but today's national football team is like a dragon crossing the river."

Even overseas media are paying attention to the Chinese team's games.

The Telegraph, the most influential newspaper in the Netherlands, published the news that Gao Han led the national team to victory in an important page the next day. It also forwarded Gao Han's evaluation of Zhang Yuning at the post-match press conference.

Gao Han believes that the national team's smooth victory this time is inseparable from the full assistance of the Football Association and local governments. In particular, they made full use of the powerful home court advantage of the plateau. Both the Football Association and local governments provided considerable support.

Gao Han also specifically praised Zhang Yuning, who scored twice in this game and was elected as the best player in the game. He believed that this center who plays for Ajax in the Eredivisie has made great progress in the past six months.

"Sometimes, when I watch his handling of the ball on the court, his use of skills, his smart running without the ball, especially his strong physical fitness, it is hard for me to imagine that he is only 19 years old. I am for China The team is proud to have such a center.”

But Gao Han also said that Zhang Yuning's current achievements are just the beginning.

"He is only nineteen years old. We should not give him too much pressure and attention. I have reminded him, and I believe he can handle it well, but I still hope that everyone can try not to affect him. I I believe he still has great potential that can be tapped, and given time, he will become a sharp knife in the national football team's forward line."

Another person specifically praised by Gao Han was left back Jiang Zhipeng.

Gao Han believes that he did not deliberately arrange the attack to favor the left wing. In fact, he emphasized more on the appropriate balance between the left and right wings. However, judging from these games, the offense on the left side is obviously more active. Gao Han I think Jiang Zhipeng's personal abilities, especially his offense and state, are at a very high level.

"He is a player who impresses easily and I was convinced of that from the first time I saw him, so I always had high hopes for him and his performance was impressive. Surprised."

"I think he should do his best to maintain his condition. An excellent player should have the ability to maintain a high level of performance for a long time, and I believe he can do this."

Regarding the praise from head coach Gao Han, Jiang Zhipeng said that it was very easy for him.

"In fact, I know in my heart that I am far from meeting the requirements of the head coach. His thoughts and ideas are too advanced. There are many things that I still cannot fully understand until now. But one thing I am very sure about is that he has given me Strong self-confidence, he made me believe that I could perform better."

"It was before, it is now, and it will still be in the future."

"He is this kind of magical coach who can help players continue to break through themselves."

When asked by the Guangzhou media that after Chinatown acquired the BJ team, the behind-the-scenes boss Gao Han asked for Jiang Zhipeng through chairman Lin Guoping. The Guangzhou Fuli team international player said that he had not heard such news, and even followed the national team. Gao Han has never communicated in this regard.

"He is a very professional and ethical head coach. He is always the first to come and the last to leave. I believe he makes a clear distinction between public and private matters, and he has always believed that our domestic transfers should establish order and become More transparent, so he will not use his authority to contact me privately, and we will only talk about the national team when we meet."

Regarding the transfer to the BJ team, Jiang Zhipeng played Tai Chi, saying that he belongs to Fuli and should not consider such things, but at the same time, he also said that he highly respects the head coach of the BJ team, Louis van Gaal.

"As far as I know, his ability to train players is also very good, and he loves offensive football. I admire a world-class coach like him very much, and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with him one day."

"What? Transfer to the BJ team? No, it's also possible that he comes to Guangzhou Fuli to coach, ha..."

But no matter what, everyone has only one understanding of Jiang Zhipeng's words, and that is to show goodwill.

For a time, public opinion in the country was abuzz.

In particular, some Fuli fans began to accuse Gao Han, thinking that he was using his authority as the head coach of the national team to seduce the national players. At the same time, some people accused Jiang Zhipeng, thinking that he wanted to join Gao Han and take the opportunity to find a backer in the national team.

But soon, Gao Han issued a clarification statement on Weibo, stating that he would not interfere with the specific operations of BJ Chinatown. As a professional head coach, official and private matters are clearly separated, and he would never take advantage of his position to do private work. , if any media continues to spread rumors, it will slander his reputation. He will once again use legal weapons to safeguard his rights and interests.

As expected, the media outlets that were hyping up the story all stopped and did not dare to make any mistakes until there was evidence.

The BJ team, which had just been acquired by Chinatown, announced its new stadium plan in BJ, creating a strong momentum in the country. Soriano even publicly announced his plans for the team's management and management in the next five years. The development plan strives to build BJ Chinatown into a strong team in the Chinese Super League within three years and a strong team in Asia within five years.

Everyone is dubious about such bold words, but one thing is for sure. BJ Chinatown has indeed started to get lucky. In the national team game in November, the national players performed very well.

Zhang Xizhe is like this in the national team. The Turkish international forward scored a goal, and the two Uzbekistan internationals also performed well, but the best one was Augusto of the Brazilian national team.

This foreign player who plays for BJ Chinatown did not perform well in the Chinese Super League, but his performance in the Brazilian national team is shocking. Especially in the past year, he has become the indispensable midfielder of the Brazilian national team. The home team, regardless of whether the national team's head coach is the former Dunga or the current Tite, has high hopes for Augusto.

It is precisely because of his outstanding performance in the Brazilian national team that many people believe that Augusto is a bit underserved in China and that the BJ team cannot bring out his full strength. At the same time, there are also players from Brazil and Europe. Teams in the league sent invitations to BJ Chinatown, hoping to introduce Augusto.

No, the national team had just finished playing in Qatar, and Gao Han had just returned to BJ to take a vacation, when he was approached by poachers from Europe, and they were all from old friends.
