Super Marshal

"Look at the Chinese team's offense this time."

"Wu Lei on the left, go inside and pass low to the penalty area."

"There's a chance! Zhang Yuning went directly to the goal to grab some points..."

"Danger!!!!"

"Quan Chuntai made a flying save at the critical moment, pushing Zhang Yuning's shot into the far corner and blocking it."

"The Korean goalkeeper's save this time is very critical and very timely."

"Zhang Yuning looks very depressed."

"He has had several good scoring opportunities in a row in this game, but unfortunately, they were either blocked by the post or the opponent's goalkeeper played well. He was also speechless about this."

"But we have to admit that the Chinese team's several counterattacks in the first half were very sharp."

"The current situation of the Korean team is indeed a bit anxious, especially the mentality of the players. This should be a point that the Chinese team can make good use of next. After all, our pressure is not as great as that of South Korea. Even if we draw this game, we will still be First in the group, we have an absolute advantage in qualifying.”

"Many players came over to comfort Zhang Yuning. The popular Ajax striker's foot seemed to be a little off in this game. He was just a little short of scoring. Wu Lei's kick just now was very beautiful. It’s a pity that we didn’t score.”

…………

…………

Gao Han also applauded vigorously on the sidelines, cheering for the team's counterattack.

Hao Junmin suddenly stepped in just now, which definitely showed the wisdom of this midfielder. It not only took away a defensive player for Wu Lei, but also greatly enriched the Chinese team's frontcourt offense.

At that time, Wu Lei had three choices. He could pass to Hao Junmin, cross from the bottom line, or he could go inside, cut inside to hit the goal or pass into the penalty area. In the end, Wu Lei chose the last option, which was in line with the development trend of the game. choices made.

Sometimes offensive opportunities appear like this.

If Hao Junmin hadn't stepped in at that time, it would have been very easy for the Korean team to defend.

Therefore, Gao Han always heard people say that the national team's weak offense was due to the lack of player strength, but he simply didn't believe it.

"Don't take any pressure, keep up the pace and stay focused."

"Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting, pay attention to defense."

Gao Han was not dazzled by several consecutive sharp counterattacks. On the contrary, he always remained calm because he knew that defense was the most important thing in this game. As long as he defended it, the chance to score would come sooner or later. of.

With the current mentality of the Korean team, the longer it takes, the better it will be for the Chinese team.

Especially entering the second half, they will collapse sooner or later.

by that time……

Gao Han's eyes flashed with a sharp look.

…………

…………

After the time entered thirty minutes, the Korean team began to press forward and launched a wave of threatening offensive.

Gao Han quickly saw the team's problems, especially the back line, which was pressing too far back, so he immediately reminded Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting to force the three offensive players in the frontcourt to press out and not to retreat.

The defensive formation is about interlocking. The front trident is the shield of the midfield, and the midfield is the barrier of the back line. As long as the front field withstands the pressure, the midfield will be relatively relaxed, and vice versa. , The midfielder is also a strong support for the frontcourt.

The three lines complement each other and are closely integrated to form a solid defensive formation.

As time went by, especially after the first half entered the final stage, the South Korean team's offensive intensity continued to increase. Especially in the 41st minute, the South Korean team passed the ball from the right and penetrated into the Chinese team's penalty area. , Captain Zheng Zhi retreated to defend at the critical moment when the opponent was about to take a kick, successfully intercepted the opponent's shot, and directly destroyed the opponent's shot beyond the baseline, forming a corner kick.

After the South Korean team took a corner kick, Zhao Jun grabbed the first shot and headed the ball to clear the ball.

But soon, the Korean team was not willing to give up and immediately made a comeback, this time playing on the left.

Sun Xingmin used his personal ability to drive the ball into the penalty area from the left, but the subsequent pass was preempted by Feng Xiaoting and passed the baseline, preventing the opponent's high center Jin Xinyu from having a chance to threaten with a header.

The South Korean team also realized that this was the last attack in the first half. All the tall players pressed into the Chinese team's penalty area, and even the goalkeeper pressed into the midline area.

But as a result, after the corner kick was taken, Zeng Cheng quickly struck out, picked off the ball, and firmly protected the ball, preventing the Korean team from having the slightest chance and directly dragging the game to the halftime break.

Zero to zero, the two sides finally shook hands and ended the first half.

But from the looks on the players' faces when they walked off the court, it was obvious that the two teams had completely different mentality.

The Chinese players were a little lucky and satisfied with the result, but the Korean players seemed more irritable and depressed.

Even number one star Son Heung-min looked a little restless and returned to the locker room without looking back.

…………

…………

"Good job, guys!"

In the home team's locker room after the game, Gao Han looked at the eleven international players in front of him with a smile and praised loudly.

"I'm so proud of your performance in the first half. You successfully withstood the Korean team's attack. Everyone knows how difficult it is, but you did it and did it well."

The praise and affirmation from the head coach made all the players in the locker room look much more relaxed. Some players even couldn't help but laugh, and their mentality was still relatively relaxed.

"It's a pity that we failed to seize several good opportunities. Otherwise, the result would have been better." Zheng Zhi laughed.

"Isn't it? If we can score a goal, let's see how those Korean baseball players can play in the second half."

"They are so angry about the draw. If they really fall behind, they will probably go crazy."

"Ha, who says it's not?"

The players were talking to each other, but center Zhang Yuning looked a little unhappy.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I will try my best in the second half."

It was only then that everyone realized that they had accidentally irritated the young general.

"Don't be stupid. One post and one outstanding save from the opponent's goalkeeper. No one can do anything about it. You have done enough." Feng Xiaoting, who was sitting near Zhang Yuning, comforted with a smile.

"Yeah, don't take it to heart. The goal will come sooner or later." Zheng Zhiye advised.

Other players immediately followed the two captains and comforted Zhang Yuning.

Although this center who plays for Ajax is relatively young, he is very capable. Now he has established a firm foothold in the national team and is regarded as the number one center in the team. His teammates are also impressed by his ability. Very recognized.

"Okay, there's no need to say anything else." Gao Han clapped his hands vigorously.

"As I have repeatedly emphasized to you before the game, we are not weaker than any opponent in the entire Asian region, even South Korea and Japan. We are confident enough to compete with our opponents."

Having said this, Gao Han smiled confidently and glanced at the international player in front of him, "I don't know if you believed what I said before, but now, no one should doubt it anymore, right?"

All the international players nodded.

The top 12 have reached this point. If anyone still doubts Gao Han's words, there is definitely something wrong with their brains.

In the past few games, the Chinese team has played very hard in each game. It can be said that they have fought tooth and nail all the way. Every player has continued to polish their own aspirations and improve their confidence in this arduous and fierce battle.

"Although, before the game, I have always said that this game is not important, but I believe that you all understand its importance, and I always believe that such a game does not require any mobilization, you Everybody is going to give it their best shot.”

All the players nodded after hearing this.

They once thought that the national football team would miss the top 12 again, but what they didn't expect was that at the last moment, Gao Han turned the tide and led the team all the way to the top 12, and scored a goal in the top 12. Winning five games in a row.

It can be said that now they have not only entered the top 12, but have even seen the hope of entering the World Cup.

In this case, each of them is full of desire, because this is their first time, and it may even be the last time, they can reach out and touch the World Cup.

If you miss it, you may never have the chance again.

This is true not only for veteran Zheng Zhi, but also for players such as Feng Xiaoting.

The World Cup that countless of them dream of is right in front of them. If they can't catch it, it will be a lifelong regret for them.

"After the first half, everyone is very clear that when playing against the Korean team, we need to remain patient, focus on our own defense first, make ourselves invincible, and then slowly wait for the opponent to make mistakes."

After a pause, Gao Han raised an analysis report that had just been sent over by assistant coach Sergio Garcia, and said with a smile: "South Korea made a lot of mistakes in the first half, whether it was from formation or formation. , or from the performance on the field, or the mental outlook of the players, I believe you all know that the opponent is determined to win this game. They must score three points, and what I can guarantee is that they will go all out in the second half. .”

"Never underestimate the mental will of Korean players, but never underestimate ourselves. I believe that you will be able to put down all pressure and fear, overcome various difficulties, and remain calm and rational enough."

Gao Han walked among the players, and his eyes scanned each player one after another.

"My request to you is very simple. Play to our level normally, play the defensive tactics and formations we have drilled in training, and our counterattacks. I believe that as long as we hold on, our opponents will definitely make mistakes, and There will be more than once, and if we catch one of them, they will be dead."

"Guys!" Gao Han shouted forcefully.

"The opponents need these three points to save their lives, but we need these three points to advance to the World Cup. As long as we win these three points, we will not only completely break the nightmare of Koreanophobia that has been hanging over Chinese football for decades, we will also It will also bring us one step closer to the World Cup."

"There are 40,000 fans sitting in the stadium stands behind us. They have been cheering for us since the beginning of the game. There are also hundreds of millions or even billions of Chinese compatriots sitting in front of the TV. You..."

Gao Han pointed at each player, "When you put on this jersey, you represent them and fight on behalf of them. You carry their wishes. They are eager to see the rise of Chinese football. They are eager to be like fans in other countries. Watching your country go to the World Cup."

"I promise, as long as you do what I say, as long as you meet my requirements, I promise you, you will definitely be able to defeat your opponent tonight, and let the arrogant South Korea, with a historic defeat, be defeated in despair leave China!"

"And we will step on South Korea's corpse and enter the World Cup!"
