"The first half is over. ”

After both teams returned to the dressing room, the TV screen also switched to the live broadcast room.

Two well-known domestic football commentators are responsible for analyzing and summarizing the situation of the game in the first half, and at the same time predicting and guessing the trend of the game in the second half.

"It should be said that the performance of the Chinese team in the first half was indeed quite good, and we were extremely impressed, especially in the period of about 30 minutes, the team changed from the original 433 to 343 formation, the side was activated, the attack was greatly improved, and in that short period of a few minutes, the Chinese team scored a goal. ”

"Another feature to mention is Zhang Yuning, a young player who has performed very well in the national team in the high cold and we can clearly feel his progress in the last six months, especially the confidence on the field, and he is currently firmly established in the first team of Ajax, and he is also doing very well, and the future is limitless. ”

"I believe that in time, he will become an important member of the Chinese national team's forward line. ”

"But we also have to note that in the last 10 minutes of the first half, the Iranian team put a lot of pressure on us, and that is the real level of Iran's attack, and I would say that the second half will be more difficult, and in the foreseeable second half, the Iranians will definitely attack with all their might. ”

The host of the CCTV live broadcast room nodded, "Iran can't accept losing." ”

"Yes, according to all the indications before the game, Iran's bottom line is to get a point away from home. ”

"Queiroz is an old Asian, he is very familiar with Asian football, and he is no stranger to the round of 12, he made it very clear before the game that every point in the round of 12 is very important, and the five games in the first round will determine the trend of the second round, so his bottom line in Shenyang is to get a point. ”

"Before the game, many of our media and fans believed that Iran's three goals conceded in the round of 40 were conceded at the beginning of the second half, so many of us felt that the Chinese team should hold on in the first half and grab the start in the second half, which is Gao Han's forte, but the result surprised us. ”

Around 30 minutes into the first half, Gao Han saw an opportunity and immediately changed his formation decisively and pressed the attack, which reflected his on-the-spot command as a world-class coach, which can be said to be the same as the last game against South Korea. ”

"The game situation is changing rapidly, no manager can fully control the game, there will always be some accidents, how to adjust their strategy and tactics according to the accident, this is a big test for the head coach, and Gao Han used two goals in two games to tell everyone, he really deserves to be the world's top coach. ”

"That's right. The CCTV host agreed, "In the past, many of us felt that the strength of the international players was not good, but through the first half of playing South Korea and Iran, we can clearly see that we are indeed inferior in skills, but the gap is not as big as imagined, as long as the head coach's tactics are appropriate, we are fully capable of fighting with the opponent." ”

"That's right, Gao Han's tactics in these two games have left a deep impression on me, not only in China, but also around the world The media have given high praise, which reflects the level of a world-class coach, judging the situation, knowing how to make good use of people, and daring to make decisions at critical moments. ”

The CCTV host also agreed, "Then how do you think the Chinese team should play in the second half? Or how to maintain a one-zero lead? What kind of tactics will Iran adopt?"

"There is no doubt that Iran will attack, they will attack, I personally think that the best thing is to continue to stabilize the situation, we defended well in the first half, after the half-time adjustment, we should continue to maintain it in the second half, first defend the Iranian team, strengthen the midfield defense at the right time, take a striker, replace a defensive midfielder. ”

The CCTV host sighed twice, "But there is a problem, we did not arrange a full-time defensive midfielder into the squad in this game, and we all know that Gao Han does not like to use pure defensive players, he prefers midfielders like Huang Baiwen, Yin Hongbo, and Hao Junmin." ”

"Yes, so, to be honest, I don't know how Gao Han will adjust, but I can be sure that Iran will attack like crazy in the second half, and the game will still be very, very difficult, and I believe Gao Han should have a very good plan for this. ”

…………

…………

In the locker room of the home team at the Olympic Sports Center, Gao Han's gaze slowly swept over the eleven players sitting inside.

With the strong attack of the Iranian team at the last moment of the first half, the physical consumption of the Chinese team was very large, and the international players were under tremendous pressure, and each of them did their best, gritting their teeth and struggling to support.

Before entering the locker room just now, Gao Han had already received the analysis and fitness report of the first half from Buenaventura and Sergio Garcia, and he already had a general understanding and understanding of the current situation of the team.

The mentality of the players was very good to be able to hold on to the one-goal lead, but at the end of the first half, the Iranian team's indiscriminate bombardment brought a huge psychological shock to the international players, making them all start to worry a little about whether they could hold on to this advantage, because the Iranian team is too strong.

How to play in the second half?

Or rather, how do you play after taking the lead?

This is a stubborn disease that has plagued Chinese football for decades.

Everyone in the locker room was bottomless, and they all looked at Gao Han.

Soon, midfielder Wu Xi pushed open the door of the locker room, walked in, and after saying hello to Gao Han and everyone, silently walked to his position and sat down.

At this time, everyone knew that Gao Han was going to be replaced.

"Everyone is clear about the situation in the first half and I can conclude that in the second half the Iranian team will be more aggressive, they will definitely attack from the start, and if they don't score, they will not give up. ”

Gao Han was very sure, and the players were all experienced and could basically judge the decision of the Iranian team.

Queiroz was aiming for a point and had to be strong in the second half.

"I'm sorry, Golin, I need to strengthen my midfield and I hope you can understand my decision. Gao Han turned his head to look at Gao Lin.

Gao Lin had obviously been mentally prepared for a long time.

In Gao Han's starting lineup, Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning are very important, the former's speed has a very obvious advantage in counterattacks, and Zhang Yuning is the current team's top scorer, and at the same time has a certain air advantage in the frontcourt, especially in the face of Montazeri, his physical confrontation can suppress the opponent.

What's more, Zhang Yuning's speed is not fast, but he is very smart in running.

Gao Han once praised Zhang Yuning in the team, thinking that he is the smartest player in the national team so far, except for the players in Chinatown, who runs without the ball, which can reflect Gao Han's importance to Zhang Yuning.

Although he was a little unconvinced, Gao Lin had to admit that he was not young, but Zhang Yuning was still young and full of spirit, and he was playing in a club like Ajax, and he had a bright future.

"I understand, boss. Gao Lin stood up neatly and looked at all his teammates, "Please everyone in the second half, I will cheer for everyone on the sidelines, please try to keep this score." ”

Gao Lin walked towards Wu Xi, hugged the latter heavily, and after shaking hands with Gao Han, he turned around and walked to the inner room.

The Hengda center forward is known for his physical fitness in China, but in this game against Iran, he did not take much advantage in this aspect, on the one hand, Iran's defender's physical fitness is really good, on the other hand, it is also related to his not very good form, but he contributed a key assist to the team.

Gao Lin was replaced at this time, which can be regarded as a successful retirement.

"In the second half, we have to change the formation and change to a 442 formation, but I have to make a special arrangement here, Huang Baiwen. ”

Gao Han pointed to the midfielder Huang Baiwen, "In the second half, your position was changed to the right side. ”

As he spoke, Gao Han pushed the chess pieces representing Huang Baiwen to the right on the tactical board that Xiao Mu pushed over.

"Wu Xi and Zheng Zhi are the double midfielders, your task is to firmly protect our defensive line, especially the front of the penalty area and the two ribs, Hao Junmin, your position is to the left side. ”

As Gao Han moved his chess pieces on the tactical board, everyone could clearly see that Gao Han's tactics had changed.

"Zhang Yuning's task is still at the forefront, I want you to resist the opponent's two central defenders, especially Montazeri, and Wu Lei, your position should be retreated, you swim around Zhang Yuning when attacking, control the second landing point, or give full play to your speed advantage, we will hit the back directly. ”

"And when you defend, I want you to pay close attention to one person, Temurian, when the Iranian team takes the ball and attacks, you must pay attention to cutting off the connection between Taymurian and Montazeri, and you can't let them calmly take the ball in the backfield. ”

Montazeri's strength lies in his brain, he is a central defender who eats by his brain, he defends the ball on the ground very well, and his passing and ball ability is also excellent, and many of Iran's threatening counter-attacks come from his feet, and Tymurian is needless to say, he is the core of Iran's midfield playmaking, and the connection between these two players is key to Iran's midfield organization.

This is what Gao Han found in the game in the first half.

In the Iranian team, many people joked that Montazeri is Queiroz's godson, but Queiroz is not the kind of mediocre who has no brains and is cronyistic.

Of course, the reason why Iran has complaints about Montazeri is mainly because his physical fitness is not outstanding in the Iranian national team, he is only 1.82 meters tall and his jumping ability is not strong, which makes him face high school forwards, especially when he is high-pitched, there are many mistakes, and after a few mistakes, he is naturally questioned.

Gao Han also understands this very clearly.

Just like him now, several international players have physical problems, Jiang Zhipeng, Zhang Linfan and Zheng Zhi are all potential hidden dangers, but Gao Han only has three substitutions in his hands, and he can't use them all at halftime.

Even, in the case of the urgent need to strengthen the midfield, he replaced Gao Lin with Wu Xi, who had better running ability, and it was impossible to make any more substitutions, because he had to wait until the second half of the game to see the situation.

If two places are used now, the second half will be too passive.

There are two sides to everything, there must be a benefit and a disadvantage, Gao Han, as the head coach of the team, must take this risk, and he can only choose the one that he thinks is the least risky in his mind.
