"It's going to take me a little longer to answer that question. ”

Gao Han obviously had been mentally prepared for the thorny issues, and talked eloquently in the face of the media reporters present.

"I watched all the footage of all the matches of the Chinese national team in the past few years, which focused on all the matches in the last two years, especially the first six matches of the round of 40, and I reaffirmed the conclusion that I had previously published on Weibo, that is, Chinese players are no worse than players from other Asian countries. ”

"Even in the face of what everyone calls the Asian powerhouse, there is no big gap between the Chinese players in terms of individual ability, so what is the reason why our players are integrated into a national team, but it brings such an obvious misunderstanding to everyone?"

This conclusion about Gao Han was mentioned as early as when he commented on the national team's game before, which caused a lot of controversy at the time, and everyone felt that he overestimated the strength of the national team, because whether it was from the performance on the field or from the final result, the national football team did not reach the height that Gao Han said.

Of course, during the Asian Cup, the national football team once showed gratifying changes, and many people thought that they were hit by Gao Han, but their performance after the Asian Cup completely broke all illusions, thinking that it was just an extraordinary performance of chicken blood.

And now, Gao Han said it again, obviously he really believed it.

"I noticed a very interesting phenomenon, our club team is very strong, very competitive in the Asian region, not long ago in the Club World Cup, Chinatown played our Hengda, we won 3-0, but it should be noted that Chinatown also beat River Plate 3-0 in the final, and finally won the championship. ”

"From the feedback I have received, from scouts to coaches, Chinatown has a very positive impression of Hengda, at least recognizing that this is a team that can represent the top clubs in Asia, and Hengda's players have played very well in club competitions, and their performance is also very confident, very passionate, and they have played their best, even in the face of Chinatown. ”

"But," Gao Han said, "the same group of players, the performance of the national team is a different mentality, I dare to say, their performance in the national team is not at half the level of the club competition, this is not only reflected in Hengda, but also other club teams." ”

Many media reporters below were in an uproar, is Gao Han criticizing the players for not doing their best for the national team?

Even Deputy Director Cai, who was sitting on the side, couldn't sit still, glanced at Gao Han, and signaled that he should not take the international players as soon as he took office, which was very detrimental to his next coaching.

But Gao Han quickly smiled and waved his hand, "Everyone misunderstood what I meant, I'm not criticizing the international players for not doing their best, on the contrary, I'm no stranger to them, I know that they did their best." ”

After a pause, Gao Han smiled incomprehensibly and said, "Then the question is, what is the reason for such a gap?"

Everyone present couldn't help but show a thoughtful look, could it be that the national team really has a curse?

"I think the main problem is in two aspects, one is the psychological level, the excellent performance in the Asian Cup is basically recognized, and during the Asian Cup, the international players are in the best mental state and the least pressure, they can play their best without reservation. ”

"There is a second reason, which is that the national team's technical tactics and training have not been able to fully play to their level, so we need to come up with a stable set of tactical play that suits the players as soon as possible, because we don't have too much time to slowly explore and prepare. ”

"Of course, here, I also want to remind all the players that in my opinion, playing for the country and wearing a jersey with the Chinese national emblem is the greatest honor and affirmation of a player and a manager in his life, and I will inspect the players in the next period of time, and I want every player in the team to have enough self-discipline and overall awareness, so that the national team can form a more inseparable whole. ”

"If you want to be an international footballer, you must not only be able to play on the pitch, but also have a sense of responsibility and national mission, have a spirit of dedication, be able to take responsibility for the rise and fall of national football, if you don't have such courage, responsibility and determination, then I'm sorry, no matter how good you play on the pitch, I can't let you into the national team. ”

Gao Han's sonorous and powerful statement undoubtedly let everyone see his determination.

He has enough confidence and power to decide and dominate the stay of an international player, no matter who it is.

This is undoubtedly a wake-up call for the internationals.

"In the coming period, my team and I will be visiting the training bases of the clubs, inspecting the international players and communicating with the coaches of the respective teams, and I hope to get everyone's advice and support to develop a set of tactics that will work for the national team as soon as possible, and we will have a two-week national team training camp in February. ”

"In Group C of the top 40 where the team is at the moment, we are really not in a good situation, we have encountered a lot of difficulties, and the hope of qualifying does not look great, but I would say that giving up early has never been my style, in my dictionary, never giving up the word. ”

'I'm not going to think about whether I'm going to qualify at the end of March, I'm not going to think about what I'm going to do next, I'm just going to do one thing, focus on the national team, play the remaining two games, and as long as we win the last two games, it doesn't matter what the final result is. ”

Gao Han's answer is indeed a bit long, but it can be seen that he is very frank and straightforward, without any twists and turns, and he goes straight to the core of the problem, even in the attitude towards the players, he is also very clear about his selection criteria and specific requirements.

As for how to reverse the unfavorable situation in the top 40, Gao Han's response was indeed not strong enough, but it was precisely because of this that he showed his honesty, on the contrary, if he insisted that the team would definitely be able to qualify, it would be doubtful.

With the current situation of the national football team, it is two consecutive victories, but even so, after two consecutive wins, it is still necessary to resign itself to fate.

It can be said that the only thing Gao Han can do is to play these two games well, and as for the rest, he can't control it.

After Gao Han answered this question, there was a round of warm applause at the scene.

Media reporters are repaying Gao Han's frankness and sincerity with their applause.

Many people regard the media as an enemy and a beast, but Gao Han always believes that in the current public opinion environment, it is most beneficial to live in peace with the media.

"Mr. Gao Han, I am a reporter from the Spanish newspaper Marca, I have heard a lot of news about you recently, including the list of international players for the new training camp, there is news that you may select a large number of people from the China City team, is it true? Also, the Spanish Football Association intends to invite Yang Xin to play for the Spanish national team, what do you think?"

Matayana did not come forward in person, but a reporter from the Marca newspaper stood up to ask questions, which also caused an uproar at the scene.

It seems that Marca has received a lot of tips, and may even far exceed them.

"I would like to reiterate one stake, I know my relationship with Chinatown, but I can assure you that Chinatown will not receive any special treatment in terms of internationals. ”

All the media reporters present took a very good note of it.

"As I said earlier, we will hold a two-week national team training camp in February, and there will be more international players selected this time, of course, we will also select a group of young international players to participate in the training camp for long-term consideration, and the players from China Town are naturally within the scope of our consideration, and the list will be announced in the near future, and I will call every player. ”

"As for Yang Xin, I know the environment he is in at the moment, and I know that he is one of the most promising rookies in world football right now, as the head coach of the Chinese national team, of course I very much hope that he can play for China, but I understand and respect all the decisions of him and his family, whether he plays for China in the future or not, I hope that he can succeed in European football, and I don't want anyone to attack him with this matter. ”

The reason why a group of young players will be recruited is mainly for the future.

With the current situation of the national football team, the hope of qualifying for this World Cup is not great, but Gao Han has to guard in advance, if the top 40 can not be qualified, then there will be no major competition in the next four years, training young players is Gao Han's top task, Wang Lei, Zhao Jun and Gao Ren and others are naturally his key considerations.

What's more, he has a coaching system in hand, which is very convenient in developing young players, and after recruiting players into the team, he will consider giving players skill cards in the game to make the player's progress more obvious.

Therefore, there will be a lot of young players in the international players who will participate in the training camp in February.

But it is not easy for Gao Han to summon this group of players on the list.

The schedule of the Chinese Super League is different from that of the European League, in February, every team is still in the training stage, and many teams are abroad.

This is also the reason why Gao Han decided to inspect the club's teams in the near future, and he had to lobby in person.

After all, he is a newcomer and is not familiar with the specifics of the international players, and without the two-week training camp, he is really not sure that he will be able to integrate the team by the end of March.

Sometimes when I think about it, Gao Han really finds it funny.

In the past, when he was coaching the club, he hated the national team's transfer of international players, and he almost fought with the national team several times, but now after he became the head coach of the national team, he suddenly found that being the head coach of the national team was also very depressing.

Let's just say that he has to play at the end of March, and he only has a week to prepare for the two key decisive games, which is far from enough, so he needs to organize a training camp in February, but the problem is that in February, the club is preparing for the pre-season and transferring their international players, and the club's head coach will definitely scold.

If you think about it, is this an ass decision head?

Gao Han then answered many questions raised by media reporters, the most striking of which was that he said that the Football Association will follow the mainstream of FIFA in the near future, and the Football Association will give corresponding compensation if an international player is injured in the national team game, which affects the club's game.

This is a consensus in international football, but it is still relatively new in Chinese football.

Gao Han also hopes that this move should be able to appropriately reduce the club's resistance.
