The second round of Serie A will not start until September 12, and on September 3 and 7, there will be two international A-level matches, with members of the national team returning to their home countries to play for their country, clubs must not interfere, and leagues on all continents have to be suspended to make way for international competitions. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For this reason, the teams in the national leagues are quite dissatisfied, especially some of the big teams. They believe that FIFA has too many A-level competitions set every year, and that there are international tournaments in 10 out of 12 months of the year, with two games per month, and such a dense schedule has caused some impact on the club. They even asked FIFA to reduce this international tournament and not to overwork the players.

But FIFA didn't buy it, and no matter how much the major clubs appealed, FIFA officials represented by Blatter were indifferent.

China also played two games in the past two days, against Iran and Paraguay, and both at home. Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, Zhao Wenkang and Ma Junqiang returned to China successively. And this time Gao Hongbo also brought back the Shao family, who played in the German Second Division, and even Zheng Zhi, who just returned to Guangzhou Evergrande from the Soviet Super League Celtic this summer, was recruited by Gao Hongbo into the national team.

This is the first time that Shao Jiayi and Zheng Zhi have been selected for the national team in the past six months, and Gao Hongbo has made a big move. The media believes that Gao Hongbo recruited all of them back, not only because the opponent is Iran, but also because he was forced to draw by Bahrain last month. Gao Hongbo was a little under psychological pressure, the Chinese team had beaten South Korea and France this year, but played a draw with Bahrain at home, and the Chinese fans scolded him somewhat at the time.

Being able to defeat South Korea and France, of course, is Gao Hongbo's commendable place, but this also makes this "Gao Family Army" carry more hopes, winning France, but not Bahrain?

Therefore, Gao Hongbo is nervous and afraid, Iran's strength in Asia is not weak, and China and Iran have some grievances in the past. As early as 1997, in the top 10 matches, the Chinese team and Iran were divided into a group, and the Chinese team conceded a total of eight goals in two rounds, four in each of the two games, and for a long time afterward, Iranian fans would stick out four fingers in front of the camera when they saw Chinese reporters to show insult to the Chinese team.

This "blood feud" was not washed away until the semi-finals of the 2004 Asian Cup, when the two teams drew 1:1 after 120 minutes of fierce battle, and finally the Chinese team defeated Iran through a penalty shootout. The grievances and grievances over the past few years have also made Gao Hongbo very eager to lead the team to win this game today, so that the Iranians will leave in frustration.

The venue of the game was at the Zhengzhou Navigation Stadium in Henan Province at 19:35. The media learned from the starting list announced by Gao Hongbo that he let all five returnees start!

Not only that, but he also tailored a tactical plan for the three attacking players Zhang Shujie, Li Mu and Zhao Wenkang, which had not appeared in the previous games. Although they all played at that time, Gao Hongbo did not carry out targeted tactics against a few of them, and it was only now that he had this idea.

So what kind of tactics are they? Let's take a look at the formation and personnel positions of the Chinese team first. The Chinese team discharged the traditional 4-4-2 formation, which was more balanced in attack and defense, and the Chinese team used it more. Zhang Shujie and Qu Bo partnered in the double striker, Li Mu, Zhao Wenkang, Shao Jiayi and Zheng Zhi stood in parallel, the defenders were Rong Hao, Du Wei, Wang Qiang and He Yang, and the goalkeeper was Ma Junqiang.

Gao Hongbo's arrangement is a little incomprehensible, he actually let Li Mu be the central midfielder! You must know that Li Mu has been in Parma for more than three years, whether it is the first team or the second team, he has never played as a central midfielder, even in the former amateur student league, he has never played this position. When Zhang Shujie saw that Li Mu was placed in the position of central midfielder, he was a little worried about whether he could give full play to his advantages.

Li Mu is also helpless, his best position is a forward and shadow striker, or a winger is not a problem. In the tactics of the Chinese team, there has never been a "front waist", whether it is an offensive front waist or an organizational front waist, it does not exist, even the so-called all-round midfielder Deng Zhuoxiang is just a "pseudo front waist", in the past 4-4-2 tactics, Deng Zhuoxiang is not standing in a position where the front waist should be.

Occasionally, the coach tried to play with an authentic midfielder, but he quickly gave up.

As for the shadow strikers and wingers, in the case that Gao Hongbo arranged for Zhang Shujie and Qu Bo to play, Li Mu still didn't think about it, because Qu Bo can be qualified for these two positions. We can't expect the Chinese team to play three forwards, and the attack-based formation and tactics like 4-3-3 are too high-end for some players and coaches of the Chinese team.

After the game started, Li Mu really couldn't adapt to the midfielder. He is always used to running up front, and the depth is very deep, which makes it easier to participate directly in the attack. But Gao Hongbo always stood on the sidelines and called him back loudly.

Li Mu could only run back.

Among the four midfielders, Li Mu is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of technology, followed by Zhao Wenkang. Shao Jiayi and Zheng Zhi are still some distance from the two, and of course they are not as good as the Iranian players. But Li Mu was limited by his position, which hindered his performance, and everyone could only hope that Zhao Wenkang could perform. But at this time, the old mistakes of the Chinese team were committed again.

This old problem is ...... Blindly underneath the cross.

As a full-back, Zhao Wenkang's ability to cross the ball is good, but he also has another skill, which is to cut in laterally with the ball on the wing. It's a pity that this kind of way of cutting inside the full-back is still rare in the Chinese team, and Gao Hongbo did not implement this tactic in the team.

Including this game, Zhao Wenkang has made his third appearance for the national team. The multi-faceted right midfielder has become a player who can only cross the bottom in the hands of Gao Hongbo.

The Chinese team didn't get too many chances, and Zhao Wenkang passed two good balls, both of which were given to Zhang Shujie. But Qu Bo inexplicably took Zhang Shujie's position in the running position, both times, and the Chinese team lost two good opportunities.

Although Li Mu is not very suitable for his identity as a mid-center, his skills are still there, but Zhang Shujie in the front court is too far away from him. Li Mu's characteristic is to send a subtle straight plug in a short distance, a bit similar to Xiao Luo, and the kind of penetration of the opponent's defense line with a long pass from a distance of thirty or forty meters is not Li Mu's forte.

What's worse is that he is too far away from the penalty area, and his advantage of "ten-meter short-range acceleration" comparable to Zhang Shujie cannot be brought into play. As a result, Li Mu became a player with no skills under Gao Hongbo.

Zhang Shujie's situation was not much better, Gao Hongbo asked him to play center. It's not impossible for him to play as a center forward, but it depends on which one, if it's like Ronaldo, Henry, and Ibrahimovic, of course, the technical flow is what he wants, but Gao Hongbo just let him be a standing center like Vieri!

Zhang Shujie needs to be technical, to be speedy, and the entire frontcourt area is his range of activities. But Gao Hongbo's move pushed him to death in the penalty area, just waiting for his teammates' passes. As soon as the Parma striker returned to the national team, as soon as he arrived under Gao Hongbo, he became a player who could only rely on headers to steal points.

Ma Junqiang is lucky, he is a goalkeeper, his position is relatively special, there is nothing special in tactics, all he has to do is to show his best side in the club.

Zhang Shujie really doesn't like to stay in the penalty area for a long time, he ran to the periphery several times to get the ball, and he ran relatively far, almost to the position of the front waist. But then comes the problem. When he came out, there was no one in the box. Gao Hongbo couldn't help but yell at him, telling him to pay attention to his position.

As a last resort, he returned to the forbidden area and continued to stand on the pile.

The style of play of a striker like Zhang Shujie who retreats to get the ball has gradually become popular in European football, and many teams have begun to try this style of play. Especially when the team has a three-striker, the two forwards, one left and one right, have to drop back to control the ball, and the center has to draw firepower for the two forwards. Zhang Shujie's position in Parma is a right striker, and there are many opportunities to retreat to get the ball, but in the national team, such opportunities are almost non-existent.

This is not to say that as long as you send out three strikers, you must have a high striker in the penalty area. Barcelona have abandoned a similar style of play this season, otherwise Ibrahimovic would not have left Camp Nou. Barcelona's three strikers are not tall, the new signing Villa is a left striker, the local star Pedro is a right striker, and Messi is a "pseudo-center". In other words, it's a style of play without a center.

However, this is extremely demanding for the players, and when the striker withdraws from the box, the rest of the attacking team must immediately rush into the box, either outflanking in two ways or inserting in the middle, so as not to leave no one in the box.

In addition, even if the team only has two strikers, it is rare for anyone to have a purely stumping center. Modern football is demanding more and more from forwards, whether it is a winger or a central striker, they must have a comprehensive technical situation, and Ibrahimovic is the leader of the center forward in today's football. Gone are the days of mere goalscorers like Vieri and Batistuta.

Gao Hongbo's coaching consciousness obviously has not reached this height, and he still adopts an old-fashioned style of play. He only saw Zhang Shujie's superb shooting skills and excellent point grabbing, but he didn't see the young striker's foot skills.

Zhang Shujie grabbed points in the penalty area, Zhao Wenkang crossed on the side, and Li Mu controlled the ball in the midfield, which seemed to be beautiful, but in fact, there was really little direct contact between them. Li Mu was limited by his position and couldn't find Zhang Shujie, so he went to find Zhao Wenkang, but as a central midfielder, his position was closer to the left, and there was a Zheng Zhi between him and Zhao Wenkang.

He went to the left midfielder Shao Jiayi, a German player with limited ability, although the ball can be passed into the penalty area, but it can never be sent to his own striker. Later, Li Mu simply kicked the ball directly to the right, and Zhao Wenkang was much stronger than Shao Jiayi.

The Chinese team's style of play does not look messy, but it is too one-dimensional, and the three main attacking players are unable to play their full strength.

Go down, cross, go down, cross again! This is the Chinese team's style of play.

Qu Bo's range of activity is very large, but it has affected Zhang Shujie because of this. Zhang Shujie felt that Qu Bo no longer seemed to see any advantages except for his speed, especially his extremely poor sense of running! This "boy chasing the wind" who became famous in the World Youth Championships had been infected in the big dye vat of the domestic league for many years, and slowly consumed his talent.

In the 38th minute of the game, there was a mistake in the back line of the Chinese team, and the midfielder of the Iranian team, Tamrian, pushed the goal near the penalty spot and broke through Ma Junqiang's ten fingers, and the Chinese team fell behind 0:1.

Ma Junqiang is no wonder for this goal, it is the defender's defense that leaks, and Tamrian is facing the goal again, the goal is too big, and Ma Junqiang can't do anything.

He looked at this group of reckless defenders and wanted to get angry, no one defended the penalty spot in the big penalty area, and they were swarming in front of the small penalty area, is this what professional defenders do?

But he finally held back his anger in his heart, he is a newcomer, and the defenders of the national team are old-timers, so he can only endure this breath.

The first half also ended with Iran leading China away. In the second half, Gao Hongbo made a substitution, and several overseas players remained on the field. Although Zhang Shujie and the other three felt that this tactic was unbearable for them, Gao Hongbo did not feel unusual. In his eyes, everyone is executing his tactics, Li Mu divides the ball to the side, Zhao Wenkang crosses the bottom, Zhang Shujie waits to grab the point, well, very good, the player's tactics are executed very well!

When Qu Bo squeezed his header in front of Zhang Shujie for the fourth time diagonally into the penalty area, Zhang Shujie couldn't help but start to wonder how the Chinese team beat South Korea and France a few months ago? Is it because there was a Deng Zhuoxiang in the team at that time?

In the 58th minute of the second half, the Chinese team conceded another goal. This time it was the failure of the defense to create offside, which made the Iranians form a single knife, and the striker Gao Milla got rid of the attacking Ma Junqiang and pushed the empty goal, 2:0!

Ma Junqiang is now angry and has nowhere to go.

Create offside and create offside, without that ability and awareness, making offside will only make the opponent form an anti-offside!

Zhang Shujie looked at Ma Junqiang from a distance, knowing that he must be very depressed in his heart.

The rest of the time the Chinese team had pulled back a point, but Feng Renliang, who came on as a substitute, was already in an offside position when he assisted Yu Hai, who was also on the bench, and the goal was invalid.

Seeing that the goal was cancelled, Ma Junqiang kicked the post hard. This is the gap! One failed to make an offside position, the other succeeded!

As far as the Chinese team's bird tactics are concerned, how did they win South Korea and France in the first place? Could it be that they were dreaming? Ma Junqiang also had the same idea as Zhang Shujie.

2:0 was the final result of the final game, and the Iranians left Zhengzhou with a smile. They lost to China in the Asian Cup six years ago, and today they finally got their revenge.

The media inevitably criticized the Chinese team and head coach Gao Hongbo, believing that Gao Hongbo did not use several returnees correctly. He said before the game that he would customize tactics for several young foreign players, but he couldn't see which one was the core of this set of tactics. Was it Zhang Shujie? He was arranged to stand in the penalty area; Was it Li Mu? He was asked to share the ball in the midfield; Was it Zhao Wenkang? I only saw that he kept making crosses.

On the surface, all three of them seem to be the tactical core, but in reality they are not. Chen Hui said in the report: "Obviously, Gao Hongbo is still playing according to the most traditional style of play, but I don't know that this style of play is not suitable for these three players as the core, no matter which one can." These three young players are already very good in China, each with their own technical characteristics, but Gao Hongbo has made these three outstanding players into 'three dislikes'. If they are to be used to their full strength, they must be liberated. ”

Chen Hui's report pointed out the drawbacks to the point, in fact, Gao Hongbo also knew it. But he thinks the player has executed his tactics and executed them well, just didn't score.

There are usually only two reasons why you don't score in this situation, one is bad luck and the other is a tactical problem. Obviously, the Chinese team belongs to the latter.

Gao Hongbo still has time to get his hands dirty, and in four days' time, the Chinese team will face a visiting Paraguay at the Nanjing Olympic Center. In these four days, maybe Gao Hongbo can try another tactic.

Four days......

******************************

Paraguay, from South America, is much stronger than Iran, the players are delicate at their feet, and everyone is not bad - at least in front of the Chinese team.

How should the Chinese team, which can't even play Iran, fight against this South American powerhouse?

At the Olympic Center Stadium, the formation of the Chinese team is still 4-4-2, and the main players have changed from the previous game, but several returnees are still starters, and Gao Hongbo is determined to use them. It's no wonder that in three months, the Asian Cup will begin, and Gao Hongbo must integrate a set of main lineups as soon as possible, and he must not give up these returnees.

In a country like China, where football is weak, returnees are very precious.

Deng Zhuoxiang and Gao Lin are back in the team, both of whom will start, and they have replaced Zheng Zhi and Qu Bo, with them in place, the Chinese team's tactics will definitely have to change. The rest of the team has not changed for the time being.

This time, most of the main players of Paraguay did not come, and many of them were substitutes, which can be called the "second team of Paraguay". I don't know if the Chinese team can bargain for something cheap on this second team.

The first goal was scored by Paraguay. And it was in the opening seven minutes that Paraguay scored. It was the famous Santa Cruz who scored for Paraguay, and it was one of the few main players that Paraguay brought to the table.

Ma Junqiang didn't blame anyone for this goal, if you want to blame Santa Cruz for being too strong.

However, the "second team" is the "second team" after all, and the Paraguayan lineup is not even, and the Chinese team will not be pressed and beaten.

Due to Gao Lin's return, Zhang Shujie finally did not have to be confined to the penalty area, and he also got a great opportunity, but unfortunately it was a little off.

Li Mu also has less pressure because of Deng Zhuoxiang's existence, Deng Zhuoxiang's organization and attack are stronger than the previous Zheng Zhi, as long as he is there, Gao Hongbo will arrange him as the core, Li Mu will be liberated, and the position is also a little ahead, the responsibility of organizing the attack will be handed over to Deng Zhuoxiang for the time being, the current Li Mu is indeed not very suitable to be the core of the organization.

In the 33rd minute, Deng Zhuoxiang passed the ball to Li Mu, Li Mu did not pass it to Zhang Shujie for the first time, the ball was blocked and bounced to his feet, he saw that Zhao Wenkang was unguarded on the right side, so he divided the ball.

Zhao Wenkang pretended to pass the ball to the penalty area, but he sent it lightly at his feet, passed straight ahead, Zhang Shujie received the ball, glanced at the penalty area, and crossed with his feet.

Gao Lin jumped up in the box and headed the ball into the net to equalize for China.

In the first half, the two sides did not score again, and in the second half, the two teams exchanged venues to continue the game. Gao Hongbo made a rotation, replacing Li Mu and Zhao Wenkang, even Ma Junqiang was replaced, Zhang Shujie remained on the court for the time being, and his partner Gao Lin did not leave the court for the time being.

In the 51st minute, Gao Lin crossed Zhang Shujie and was destroyed by the opponent's defender; four minutes later, Santa Cruz's shot did not hit the power and did not pose a threat to the Chinese team's goal; in the 60th minute, Deng Zhuoxiang's long-range shot was high; in the 65th minute, Zhang Shujie's header was confiscated by the goalkeeper; in the 71st minute, Barrios received a cross from Santa Cruz and stabbed the goal, almost scoring a goal......

It was a brilliant second half, but neither team seemed to be able to score their luck. Then the two sides continued to change, Gao Lin was replaced, Deng Zhuoxiang was replaced, and Zhang Shujie was still there.

Zhang Shujie worked very hard, he really wanted to score, he used various ways, there were headers, shovels, volleys, hanging shots, Gao Hongbo also tried his best to satisfy him, gave him enough time, but God did not help him, to the end of the game, he was still standing on the field, he clearly remembered that he shot a total of five times in the whole game, except for one sliding out, the remaining four times were all within the range of the goal frame, but they were either saved by the goalkeeper, or blocked by the defender.

He looked up at the score, 1:1, and the two scorers were Gao Lin and Santa Cruz.
