Super Marshal

Since defeating the Maldives 10-0, every move of the national football team has affected the hearts of the whole country.

Even a game played in the first training session after arriving in Xi'an was spread by domestic fans and aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet. It was regarded as strong evidence that the national football team's mentality was brought back to order.

But everyone was very worried about the upcoming life and death battle.

Qatar is not the Maldives, which is ranked 158th in FIFA, but Qatar's ranking is 80th, 16 places higher than China, and this Middle Eastern team has proven in the top 40 group stage own level.

You can score ten goals against the Maldives, but what about against Qatar? Can he still score a goal?

The weak offense has always been a weakness of the national football team. Can it get better when facing a team like Qatar?

As the game approaches, all kinds of news are coming.

Qatar has qualified early and does not attach much importance to this game. Many of their main players will miss this game. This is good news for the Chinese team, but the Chinese people do not dare to be careless at all.

In the past few decades, Chinese football has not had too many experiences of qualifying with a draw and qualifying with a win, but the final results are often painful, not to mention the situation like now. , even if you win, you may not be able to qualify.

Every fan who cares about the national football team is worried. They are all worried about whether the national team coached by Gao Han will repeat the mistakes of the past, and whether there will be another tragedy of losing the chain at a critical moment?

Is the ten-goal victory over the Maldives just a flash in the pan?

Chinese fans dare not place too much hope on the national team, nor do they dare to give too much confidence, because they are afraid.

Head coach Gao Han said in an interview with the media at the pre-match press conference that he did not care about whether he could win or whether he could qualify.

"What I want to say is that we always put too much calculation and energy into other trivial things, which makes us unfocused. I only have one idea and one request for this game, work hard. Play it well and get a win.”

"I believe that Chinese fans are sensible. They love this country and this team. As long as all of us give our best and have a clear conscience, no matter what the final result is, I believe no one will blame us."

"I have always believed that as long as we serve normally, we can beat our opponents."

Gao Han's remarks before the game were also recognized by domestic fans. Whether on the Internet or in the provincial stadium on the night of the game, all fans were responding to Gao Han's words and hoped that the national football team would do its best and leave no regrets. .

On the night of the game, the Provincial Stadium was not only crowded and packed with seats, but also countless fans who came to the scene but could not buy tickets to enter the stadium. Even scalpers had a hard time getting tickets.

After days of reports and attention, tonight, the streets across the country are empty, and the whole country is paying attention.

Shaanxi Provincial Stadium, home team locker room.

Gao Han got the starting lineup for this game in Qatar.

As expected by the coaching staff, in the last game without any desire, Qatar made a lot of rotations, especially in the defense line. The rotation was not small, obviously in advance for the next top 12 games. prepare for.

But this is not necessarily a good thing for the Chinese team.

Relatively speaking, Qatar's mentality will be more relaxed, but the rotation players will work harder than the main players because they have to prove themselves. In this case, once there is a situation of being unable to attack for a long time, it will be very uncomfortable for the national football team.

"As I said before the game, Qatar will rotate significantly, but their defensive players in the midfield and backfield will be very active, the pace of pressing and pressing will be very fast, and they will have more physical fitness. This will be a big factor for us. test."

"As I told everyone before the game, after the opening, we must attack and disrupt the opponent's rhythm from the beginning. The defense line must press forward. The three lines from front to back must put enough pressure on the opponent and press me hard. Stop them and don’t give your opponents any chance to breathe.”

Everyone in the locker room looked at Gao Han seriously and nodded solemnly.

These are what Gao Han and the coaching staff have repeatedly warned before the game.

"Everyone, tonight is the last game of the Top 40."

After laying out the tactical arrangements, Gao Han began to carry out the final mobilization before taking the field.

"If we cannot defeat our opponent in tonight's game, then our efforts to compete in the 2018 World Cup in Russia will stop here, and many players in the team will never have the opportunity to compete in the World Cup."

After hearing Gao Han's words, many players around 1985, including captain Zheng Zhi, looked a little sad.

Even Zheng Zhi, the veteran in the team, has never experienced the 2002 World Cup, and no player in the team has experienced the feast of the World Cup. They have always been full of desire for this event, and they have won it again and again. There was an impact on the ground.

Four years after that and four years after that and four years after that.

They seemed to be in reincarnation, wasting their time again and again.

The fans scolded them, the media scolded them, everyone scolded them, and sometimes they even scolded themselves.

This is a tragedy in which neither party is innocent, but everyone is sympathetic.

"I can't promise you that I will definitely make you get what you want. I am a human being, not a god. It is impossible for me to promise my players things that I cannot guarantee at all. The only thing I can promise is that I promise you , I will fight with you until the last moment, and never give up at the last minute!"

"In tonight's game, the most terrifying thing is not the opponent on the other side of the stadium, but ourselves. How much do you desire the World Cup and your belief in winning? Can you wash away the doubts that fans have had about you in the past ten years? You need to be there. Prove it to yourself in this game tonight.”

"I don't want to say a lot of high-sounding words. I am here and I just want to say to you that tonight, you have to fight for yourself! Fight for your name! Fight for the World Cup!"

"Viewers, welcome to China Television."

"We are currently broadcasting live at the Shaanxi Provincial Stadium in Xi'an."

"It is now twenty o'clock in the evening, and in fifteen minutes, the world-famous top 40 group match between China and Qatar will kick off here. This will also be the last group match for the Chinese team, which will determine whether The key battle to successfully advance from the top 40."

"Five days ago, the team defeated the Maldives 10-0 in Wuhan, which laid the foundation for the national team's promotion and rekindled our hope of promotion. However, if we want to successfully advance to the top 12, we must win today. We defeated Qatar in this late game and got three points.”

"The game was originally scheduled to kick off at 19:35, but through the efforts of the Chinese Football Association, the kick-off time was delayed by 40 minutes."

"Don't underestimate these 40 minutes. This will make our final time later than Australia's two games against Jordan and the Philippines against North Korea. This will give us more time on the court to adjust the game strategy at the last minute. .”

"We have already got the Chinese team's starting lineup for this game."

"Gao Han made adjustments to the starting lineup, but still adopted a four-three-three formation."

"The goalkeeper is still Zeng Cheng, the defense is Jiang Zhipeng, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linfan and Zhao Mingjian, the midfielder is captain Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin and Huang Bowen partner in the midfield, and the forwards are Wu Lei, Gao Lin and Zhang Xizhe."

"Zhao Jun, the young central defender who performed well in the last game, did not start, but was included in the substitute list. What is somewhat surprising is that Gao Han arranged for Wu Lei, Gao Lin and Zhang Xizhe to partner in the frontcourt trident. This has to be said It’s quite surprising.”

"As for midfielder Huang Bowen starting, it's not surprising. It was revealed as early as February during the training camp that Gao Han admired Huang Bowen very much, so he adjusted the midfielder for this game and probably wanted to try different combinations. .”

"Gao Lin, Wu Lei, Hao Junmin and Zheng Zhi continue to start. This shows Gao Han's reliance and trust in these four players. I believe these four players will shoulder the responsibility of the national team in this game. Task."

"Qatar still adopts a 4141 single forward formation, but compared with the previous first round, eight positions have changed. It can be seen that they are not going all out, which is also in line with their advance in the group. Qualifying, a situation with no desires and no demands, after all, still fighting against the Chinese team at this time is not worth the gain."

"But this does not mean that the national football team can be careless. After all, Qatar is not weak."

Under the leadership of the Malaysian referee, the players of the two teams walked out of the player tunnel one after another.

The entire provincial stadium immediately cheered crazily.

Tens of thousands of fans cheered hoarsely in the stands, forming an overwhelming momentum.

Especially when Gao Han, the head coach of the Chinese national team, walked out of the tunnel, the outcry reached its peak.

Gao Han walked to the visiting team's coaching bench as usual and shook hands with the Qatar coaching staff one by one, showing off the style of a world-famous coach.

Just now in the player tunnel, he had already met and greeted the referees one by one.

After the players from the two teams lined up at the exit of the player tunnel, the national anthem of the visiting team Qatar was sung first, followed by the national anthem of the home team China.

When the loud March of the Volunteers sounded in the stadium, all fans in the audience stood up in unison. All the home team's coaching bench and bench personnel, including Gao Han, also stood up and sang the Chinese national anthem along with the singing.

The inspiring song floated over the stadium, and everyone felt a power from this song, as if this song was about the current national football team, which has been sinking for too long, and domestic fans have been suffering. I look forward to the rise of the national football team and hope that they can move forward like the national anthem sings!

In this game, the national football team has reached its most dangerous moment. Everyone, whether they are coming to the scene or fans sitting in front of the TV, are giving their last roar.

They all long to see a united national football team and an attacking national football team!

When the national anthem ended, Gao Han turned around and looked at the fans in the stands behind him. Although they were a little far away, he could still clearly see many people reaching out to wipe away their tears.

After captain Zheng Zhi also finished guessing, he called all his teammates around him and formed a circle. Everyone folded their hands together and shouted in unison, "Forward! Forward!! Forward!" !!!"

Along with the shouts of the national football team, thunderous applause erupted from the stands again.

The national anthem sounded again.

Tens of thousands of fans are motivating the players in the stadium in this way.
