Super Marshal

The next day of the China-Iraq war, in the morning, BJ.

When Gao Han woke up from a full sleep, he was still immersed in the carnival atmosphere of last night's victory at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center. His ears seemed to still be ringing with the sound of fans picking up the plane at the BJ Capital Airport at midnight last night. The cheers of the time.

After the team played against Iran in Shenyang, they flew back to BJ from Shenyang overnight and were disbanded on the spot. The players needed to return to the club as soon as possible to prepare for the league. The pressure was also very high, and this time the Football Association's logistics work was also in place, allowing the international players to You can all be focused on nothing.

This is also a change that Gao Han vigorously promoted after coaching the national team. For this reason, he specially invited several staff responsible for logistics services from BJ Chinatown to join the national team. This move immediately received strong support from the national football team.

Two consecutive victories, the whole country rejoiced.

But Gao Han stayed at home and had a good sleep, and it was almost noon when he woke up.

I wonder what will happen to the media and fans outside?

Gao Han took out his mobile phone and logged into Weibo, but unexpectedly it got stuck.

There were so many people at Aite that his mobile phone was overwhelmed.

Gao Han smiled helplessly, but he was happy in his heart because he knew that he did not disappoint after all.

Being able to defeat South Korea and Iran in the first two games of the top 12 is definitely a huge upset for the Chinese team, and it also has a certain advantage in the group stage.

In the other two games that were played at the same time, South Korea went on an away game against Syria. Due to the civil war in Syria, the game was arranged to be held in Malaysia. However, the South Korean team’s top superstar Son Heung-min missed the game and returned to the Premier League early to participate in the game. Stillik’s team There was a zero-0 draw with Syria in Malaysia.

The South Korean team had a ball possession rate of 80% and adopted a high-pressure style throughout the game. However, the result was that they failed to break through Syria's goal. This also made Gao Han clearly realize that there is no team in the top 12. The team is a soft persimmon.

The Chinese team was able to reverse South Korea in the away game in the first game, which was partly related to South Korea's contempt. In the second game against Iran, it took advantage of the home court. After all, who else is like Iran, who traveled more than 6,000 kilometers to play an away game and was in poor condition? How much better would it be, not to mention that midfielder Dejaga is still missing the game due to injury.

In another game, Qatar lost to Uzbekistan 0-1 at home, which was also a bit surprising.

In recent years, in order to prepare for the 2022 local World Cup, Qatar has naturalized a group of outstanding players. The overall strength is quite good. In the previous top 40 match, Qatar did not give its best, but this time The two consecutive losses at the beginning of the semi-finals were a bit surprising, especially the game against Uzbekistan.

After two rounds of games in September, the Chinese team won both games, scoring five goals and conceding two goals, ranking first in the group. This is the biggest upset in this group so far, and Uzbekistan also won two consecutive games. , scored two goals and conceded no goals, ranking second.

Iran ranks third with one win and one loss, Syria and South Korea both have one draw and one loss, but Syria has an advantage in goal difference and ranks fourth, South Korea ranks fifth, and Qatar has two consecutive losses and ranks sixth.

Only two rounds of the group stage have been played, so far everything is still unknown. It can only be said that China has a certain advantage in the group stage with these two victories. The coaching staff and players have worked so hard, and it is also It's worth it.

After South Korea's draw with Syria, Stillik's coaching position was also shaken, but there is no clear news so far, and he may really become the first head coach to dismiss get out of class.

Regarding the current situation of the Chinese team, Gao Han has a positive attitude, but he is not optimistic and does not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Even with the support of the coaching system, when the Chinese team faces teams like South Korea and Iran, the outcome is still close to the other. As long as he is slightly careless in formation and on-the-spot command, it is very likely that the Chinese team will lose. It is inevitable.

What makes him most gratified is that the mental outlook of the national team players has improved a lot. Especially after defeating South Korea and Iran, he can feel the players' spirit and they are starting to become more and more confident.

Don't underestimate this. If you want to play well in passing and controlling, you must be confident.

A team that is worried about gains and losses and is timid cannot pass and control the ball well at all.

After these two games, the next two games are in early October. The opponents are Syria and Uzbekistan. The former is at home and the latter is away. This is also a challenge for the Chinese team.

According to the Football Association's plan, in order to minimize the away trip to Uzbekistan, the home game against Syria will be arranged in Xi'an. It takes more than four hours to fly from Xi'an to Tashkent, Uzbekistan. This is a direct charter flight. If it is delayed Or there are other problems, which may drag on even longer.

So this will be a big challenge to the team's physical fitness and condition.

There is only one month left. Gao Han and the coaching staff must make preparations in advance and at the same time inspect the national players.

The challenge of the top 12 has just begun, and every step of this long journey is not easy.

With the current strength of the Chinese team, every game must go all out.

But at the same time, Gao Han is still considering increasing the training of young players in advance and letting several young players grow up as soon as possible, hoping to become the mainstay of the national team.

For example, Zhang Yuning, this 19-year-old player is performing very well now.

At the post-match press conference last night, Queiroz neither praised Wu Lei nor Hao Junmin. He only named Zhang Yuning. He believed that the Chinese youngster played very well and was the most threatening player on the court. Although he No goals were scored.

Next, young players such as Wang Lei, Zhao Jun, Gao Zhunyi, Deng Hanwen, and even Gao Ren and Yang Xin will get more opportunities, and I hope they can perform better.

After washing up, he changed his clothes. When he went downstairs, his mother said that Lin Guoping and Xiang Tianming had been waiting in the yard for a long time. Gao Han quickly ate some breakfast and then went out.

Their father, Gao Damin, was accompanying them in the courtyard to make tea and chat, and the topic was nothing more than the game last night.

Everyone across the country was celebrating. From the most authoritative party journals to ordinary street tabloids, they all focused on reporting on this victory. This further boosted Gao Han's influence in the country, and it was really at its peak.

In just six months, who would have thought that the national football team would transform from being ridiculed by the people to being praised by the people?

Xiang Tianming was used to being casual with Gao Han. As soon as he saw Gao Han coming out, he once again shouted that he wanted to become a disciple and hugged his thighs. Even Lin Guoping, who usually acted calmly, was full of praise for his son-in-law and said that he wanted to take advantage of Gao Han's blessing. , which made him feel more face-saving in front of a group of old friends.

"It's too early to be happy now. We have only played two games in the group stage. When we really qualify, we will have to celebrate." Gao Han said seriously, and he thought so too.

"It's wrong of you to say that, boss." Xiang Tianming publicly sang the opposite tune, "According to your statement, after qualifying for the World Cup qualifiers, you will say that it is too early to be happy now. Wait until we are in the World Cup If you have performed well, then you have to celebrate.”

Everyone laughed when they heard what Xiang Tianming said, even Gao Han couldn't help but smile.

He does have this mentality, which at best is called enterprising, but at worst is called insufficiency.

But this is not a bad thing. After all, without this mentality, he would not be where he is today.

"It's rare that you can still be so calm and rational. Now media reporters and fans across the country are worshiping you as a god. Think about it, what was it like when Milu led the team to the World Cup? What if you really do this this time? By bringing the national football team into the World Cup, your reputation and status will only be higher than Milu."

In 2002, information was not as developed as it is now. Milu was a god back then. If Gao Han really turned the tide this time, there would be no problem surpassing Milu.

Even to a certain extent, Gao Han's current reputation and status have surpassed Milu's back then.

This is the charm and influence of football, which no other sport can match.

Therefore, in many countries, football superstars have the influence and qualifications to run for national leadership.

Everyone was in high spirits, and the high cold would naturally not dampen their spirits.

After the game against Iran, the coaching staff was basically disbanded, but Gao Han will then go to Spain and visit Chinatown.

After the reorganization in the summer, the Chinese team is really struggling, but the group of young players who have been vigorously promoted have lived up to expectations. They have played two games in the league so far, and Chinatown has won both. There are no clues yet, Gao Han. You should definitely go there for a walk.

In addition, he also wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Wang Lei, Zhao Jun, Yang Xin and Gao Ren, as well as Zhang Yuning, Wei Shihao and other international players studying abroad in Europe, to inspect their competition.

As a result, it will not be possible to return to BJ until the end of September at the earliest.

There is nothing that can be done about it. In many cases, the meaning of an assistant's appearance is completely different from that of Gao Han's personal appearance.

Gao Han still values ​​​​this group of international players who have studied abroad very much. Regardless of whether they can stay in Europe, at least the experience of studying abroad will be the most valuable asset in their careers.

Just like Hao Junmin, although his overseas study at Schalke 04 was not successful and he was even transformed into a right back for a time, no matter what, he is able to perform today, and that experience is indispensable.

This time Gao Han will focus on several players in Chinatown and Zhang Yuning who plays for Ajax, especially the latter. Gao Han plans to visit the Netherlands in person and meet old friends such as Edwin van der Sar. , just think of it as paving the way for Zhang Yuning.

The current momentum of improvement of this local Chinese center is very obvious. As Gao Han can see with piercing eyes, if Zhang Yuning continues with the current development momentum, he will have no chance to play the main role in Ajax in the future, or even go to the middle and lower reaches of the four major leagues. To gain a foothold, the premise is that he can get the attention of Ajax.

Since little Gao Shen is currently undergoing training in BJ China Town and is enrolled in school like other children in the training center, Lin Xia will stay with him in BJ and take care of her company's affairs. This time Gao Han will take Sergio... Garcia and Xiaomu go.

"So, your schedule is quite tight." Lin Guoping said calmly after hearing this.

Gao Han nodded, it was indeed quite compact.

"Is something wrong?" Gao Han asked angrily.

"Yesterday, an old friend from the city government invited me to meet and we talked about a lot of things."

"Oh?" Gao Han was not surprised at all that Lin Guoping had friends in the city government. He was interested in what they talked about.

And he also vaguely guessed something, but this may not be in line with his plan.

Therefore, after listening to Lin Guoping's words, he couldn't help but frown.
