Super Marshal

The war between China and South Korea not only rekindled the passion of Chinese fans, but also detonated domestic public opinion.

With the preparations made in the past few days, coupled with the huge attention brought by Gao Han after coaching the national team, the first away game of the top 12 against the South Korean team has attracted attention unprecedented in more than ten years.

CCTV’s live ratings are the best reflection.

According to the statistics of the ratings data platform, the ratings of this focus game were as high as 11%, nearly twice the highest ratings of the Hengda AFC Champions League game that year, setting a record for the highest ratings of a CCTV football match after the Korea-Japan World Cup. .

According to statistics, there were probably more than 150 million Chinese people watching the game on TV that night. If you include the diversion of many online platforms, the total number of viewers will exceed 200 million. This is the number of Chinese football fans in more than ten years. An unprecedented event.

It can also be seen from this data that as the national team miraculously reaches the top 12, the Chinese people's enthusiasm for football is returning, especially the attention to the top 12. I believe that after tonight's game After the victory of the Korean team, more and more Chinese fans will pay attention to the game.

In addition to TV ratings, Weibo's hot search list can also truly reflect the popularity of this game.

The keyword "China-South Korea war" topped the hot search list by a long way, followed by hot search keywords such as Chinese football and China and South Korea.

And during the game, every goal scored by the Chinese team has created a hot search term, and it can quickly jump to the forefront as soon as it enters the list, especially Zhang Yuning's two goals, Wu Lei's goal and the moment when the Chinese team scored. Keywords even broke into the top five.

The only surprising thing is that there is a noun that has nothing to do with the game. After the game, it quietly squeezed into the top ten, and rushed to the second place in the hot search list at lightning speed, without any limelight. Lost the war between China and South Korea.

That is Gao Han's wife.

What happened was that after the game, Gao Han couldn't help but hugged his wife Lin Xia affectionately on the sidelines, but it was caught by live TV cameras and many media reporters. As a result, it created a carnival among netizens and became a trending topic on Weibo. Search list.

Although Lin Xia is not an entertainer, she still enjoys a high reputation in the country, especially among the fans. But now, with Gao Han's support, she has become famous all over the country, and Gao Han has become the envy of countless men. The goal.

Which man doesn't long for a wife as talented and beautiful as Lin Xia?

In addition to Lin Xia, the naughty and mischievous Xiao Gaoshen also stole the spotlight and entered the hot search list for the first time, but ranked relatively low.

But whether it was Lin Xia or Gao Shen, it was just an unexpected gain. The Chinese team's defeat of South Korea was the focus of the carnival for all Chinese and netizens.

In the other two games played at the same time, Iran defeated Qatar 2-0 at home, Uzbekistan defeated Syria 1-0 at home, and the Chinese team unexpectedly ranked first in the group after defeating the South Korean team 3-1. Top of the Group A standings.

This immediately made domestic fans and public opinion more fanatical.

Before, everyone refused to believe that the Chinese team had the strength to compete with teams such as South Korea, Japan, and Iran, but now, they have to admit that this battle against South Korea has completely undermined the confidence of Chinese football.

As the famous live broadcast commentator said in the comments, Chinese football has been professionalized for so many years and has invested heavily over the years. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no progress. The reason why it has always given people the impression of malaise in the past is It is more due to my own psychological factors and strong pressure.

"It should be said that in terms of strength, we are a bit behind South Korea and Japan, but the gap is not irreparable. In this game, Gao Han used an overwhelming tactical victory to make up for the gap in strength of the national team players. , and we saw the result, 3-1, the Chinese team defeated South Korea in an away game."

"There is no doubt that the biggest credit for this game should be given to Gao Han. He thoroughly demonstrated the coaching level of the world's top coach, and also made us re-understand the wise saying of our ancestors, one soldier is a raging soldier, and a raging den is the same. , Chinese football has finally welcomed a world-famous coach."

"But we should also note that, as Gao Han said at the post-match press conference, winning South Korea does not mean that we can win other opponents. The game requires being pragmatic and playing one game at a time."

"With our current overall strength, not to mention facing South Korea, even the next opponent Iran, as long as we are not careful, will be enough to put us into an unstoppable situation. I hope the national football players can guard against arrogance and impetuosity and work hard to prepare for war. , and I also hope that domestic public opinion and fans can be calm and rational, and try to create a relaxed competition environment for the national team."

Many people in the football industry also came forward. On the one hand, they gave Gao Han high praise for his formation in this game, but at the same time, they also called on the national players and fans to be calm and rational.

The Football Association also immediately commented on Weibo, reposting Gao Han’s advice and encouragement at the post-match press conference, calling on all Chinese and fans to work together, thanking everyone for their support, and thanking all national football soldiers.

FIFA also retweeted Twitter and Weibo that night to congratulate the Chinese team on their victory.

There are also many domestic football people, especially several foreign teachers, who have praised this game.

Lippi said in an interview with the media in Guangzhou that Gao Han's formation in this game showed the style of the world's top coach and once again confirmed his previous judgment on Chinese football.

"If you have paid attention to this game before the game, I believe everyone can easily come to the conclusion that Gao Han's victory was calculated step by step from before the game. From media public opinion to players' mentality adjustment, Gao Han did everything There must be no leaks, and the entire preparation is almost perfect.”

"But what surprised me most about this game was Gao Han's accomplishments in defensive organization. The defensive system he created was very orderly and resilient, and the players' execution was also high enough, which made the Chinese team lose on the field. Even with nearly 70% possession of the ball, we were still able to hold on to the score."

"During the game, Gao Han's substitutions were constantly changing the trend of the game, pushing the Korean team into an embarrassing situation step by step. His wisdom allowed the Chinese team to lose possession of the ball on the court. He has no power, but firmly controls the initiative. He is definitely a master in this aspect."

"I would like to say that this is a textbook victory. I will strongly recommend it to all coaches, especially Chinese coaches, to study and research. This is like a treasure trove, which brings together Gao Han's more than ten years of experience in European football. The essence of coaching.”

Scolari, Eriksen, Magath and other famous foreign coaches who coached in the Chinese Super League also praised Gao Han. During his time at Inter Milan, Cannavaro, who once played under Gao Han, even praised Gao Han. His mentor spoke highly of Gao Han and believed that Gao Han embodies the essence of Italian defense and created a steel defense line belonging to Chinese football.

Early the next morning, authoritative party newspapers also commented one after another, believing that Chinese football defeated South Korea three to one, completely breaking the Korean phobia that has plagued Chinese football for decades. They won only two goals, but won ten. The hearts of hundreds of millions of Chinese people.

"Gao Han has always been the pride of Chinese football. At the critical moment of life and death, he resolutely took over the coaching position and saved Chinese football. With the power of one person, he dragged a mess and crossed the lifeline of life and death. Entered the top twelve.”

"In the first game of the top 12, Gao Han's outstanding strategizing helped the Chinese team defeat South Korea 3-1 in an away game. This is the first time we have entered the top 12 in the past fifteen years, and it is also the history of our Chinese football. , defeating South Korea in a major tournament for the first time.”

"*******,*******."

"Gao Han has been working hard to practice this sentence, and we believe that under his leadership, we have every reason to expect this national team to bring us more miracles."

"National football team, please keep moving forward!"

Compared with the domestic media's praise for the national team, the Korean media also rarely gave the national football team a very high evaluation.

Yonhap News Agency wrote an article with the title "Korean Fear Broken". On the one hand, it spoke highly of Gao Han's coaching in this game. It believed that the young Chinese coach thoroughly demonstrated the style of the world's top coach and had complete control over the game. The crushing of his opponent Stillik was the biggest contributor to China's victory and reversal.

"Seoul used to be China's nightmare, but now, Gao Han and his team are here, with a bloody victory, completely breaking the curse of Korean phobia, turning the cursed place into China's luck place."

"The three goals were all scored very beautifully. It can be seen that they were the result of the team's cooperation. There is no chance or luck. This made us convinced after losing the game."

"It can be said that the Chinese team in this game showed momentum and courage rarely seen in decades."

"Looking at South Korea, we have an absolute advantage in terms of strength, but the result was a disastrous defeat."

"Obviously, Stillik's tactics have obvious flaws. His clumsiness and stupidity were fully exposed in front of Gao Han. He left us with no secrets in front of the Chinese team, and the disastrous defeat in the first game of the top 12 , not only makes Korean football and fans feel heartbroken, but also makes the situation leading to the World Cup confusing."

"Perhaps, starting from last night's battle, we must start to face the rise of Chinese football."

In addition to Yonhap News Agency, the captain of the South Korean national team Ki Sung-yong also expressed disappointment, but he was more considering the overall situation and did not add insult to injury to coach Stillik like the media and fans did.

German coach Stielike said in an interview with Korean media that he was willing to take responsibility for the defeat, but he still expressed that he was full of confidence in South Korea's entry into the World Cup in Russia and firmly believed that the team would strive to win Syria in the away game.

In addition to China and South Korea, China's victory over South Korea in the top 12 quickly attracted attention and heated discussion in Asian football and even the world, especially Gao Han's formation in this game. , and was highly praised.

If Gao Han did not show his outstanding technical and tactical level when he led the Chinese team to defeat the Maldives and Qatar, then in this battle, he completely played to the level of a world-famous coach and let everyone know that even if he has Although he has been out of the first line for many years, his coaching level is still among the best in the world.

However, compared to the heated discussion among the media and fans, Gao Han and the national team did not participate.

That night after the game, the team took a flight from Seoul back to Shenyang overnight. The next morning, the team began preparations for the home game against Iran.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the plan previously drawn up by the coaching staff.

Unexpectedly, a change occurred.

Thank you all for your continued support!

Lao Chen is here, wishing everyone a Happy New Year and good luck in the Year of the Dog!
