"I know there's a lot of rumours out there about the national team and here I have to clear it up. ”

The next day, in the press conference hall of the Wuhan national team training center, Gao Han faced more than 100 media reporters who came in a hurry, first introduced the situation of the national team training, and then began to get to the point.

"The reason why we chose Wuhan instead of training in Xi'an is not because there is a problem in Xi'an, but because after careful research, we believe that if the training camp is arranged in Wuhan and the training camp is closed, all of us can have a high level of concentration, which will help us adjust the state, physical fitness and psychology of the players. ”

For the venue in Xi'an, Gao Han said that the leader and assistant coach of the national team went to the site for a while and felt very satisfied, especially after the last time he was put forward by his own rectification opinions, Xi'an has received great attention, and the venue and facilities have been greatly improved.

As for the current injury situation of the national team, Gao Han said that after the players returned to the team, the medical team has officially taken over, but the specific injury report has not yet been obtained, and he hopes that the outside world can reduce unnecessary speculation and avoid causing panic.

"The current 24-man roster was drawn up by me personally, although many international players, including Li Xuepeng, were injured in the league a few days ago, but I will not consider substitutions unless I have to, because we are more familiar and understand each other. ”

As for the selection of the main goalkeeper of the national team after Zeng Cheng's injury, Gao Han said that he still needs to be inspected through training.

"I can't give more information at the moment, but I would say that I will choose the players who are in the best form and who meet the requirements of the national team to start. ”

Gao Han also revealed that this training camp faced two major problems.

"First, the Chinese Super League has entered the final stage, all the players are physically and mentally exhausted, which has brought us a lot of challenges and pressure, how to adjust the state and physical fitness of the players in the shortest possible time, this will be the focus of our next preparations, all of us must be distracted. ”

"That's why I went for a closed training camp. ”

All the media reporters present carefully recorded Gao Han's every word.

"Secondly, I would like to say that our opponents are not weak, Syria just drew 0-0 with South Korea at a neutral venue, which is a good proof of the quality of this team, against such an opponent, we do not have any advantage in terms of strength, even on our home turf, we have to give it our all. ”

"I can understand the feelings of my journalists and fans, please believe me, like you, every game strategy I have developed, all my work goals, is to do everything I can to beat the opponent, and I want to bring the national team to the World Cup. ”

"But as a head coach, I must remind everyone that in the six teams in Group A of the top 12, the strength of our Chinese team does not have any advantage, we rely on everyone's hard work, rely on a little luck, to successfully squeeze into the last train of the top 12, the opening two consecutive wins have a variety of factors, we can not be careless. ”

'There is a lot of pressure on our players at the club, they have been playing in the league for a few months, some of them may even be on multiple fronts, and they have to go back and forth with the national team, I can feel the feeling in their hearts to play for their country, but I also hope that all the journalists and fans will understand and respect us. ”

"I have led many teams, and I have also dealt with media reporters and fans in various countries, and the killing and stick killing are always the best weapons of public opinion, please forgive my offense, but I really think that the public opinion in the past period of time is a killing of us, which will make us bear a lot of unnecessary psychological pressure and burden. ”

"Isn't that the time we get overwhelmed and we lose, and we can rely on the stick to kill us to win attention?"

Gao Han's words made all the media reporters present in an uproar.

Many people obviously didn't expect that Gao Han would say such things in front of them, which is simply an accusation against them, but if you look back on the past few days, domestic public opinion, who dares to say that no media is doing this?

On the basis of the weakness of the national football team, let alone facing Syria and Uzbekistan, even if it is facing the Maldives, shouldn't we care about it and remind it repeatedly?

Why is there so much media coming out and advocating for a few wins?

"Of course, I know that this is just a small group of active media and self-media behavior, most of the media have the same goal as us, and they all sincerely hope that the national team can go further in the top 12, then, I appeal here, I hope everyone can try to give us a more relaxed, more stress-free preparation and competition environment. ”

After Gao Han's words, many of the media present also softened their faces a little.

Tearing his face? Gao Han is not so stupid.

He believes that since the matter has been decided, it will depend on what the media reporters will do next.

And today's remarks, he will also let the press officer sort it out and post it directly on the national team's Weibo, and he will also forward it through his own Weibo, which can guide public opinion to the greatest extent, and at the same time let all fans understand his intentions, he believes that as long as the fans who distinguish between right and wrong can understand.

"Finally, in view of the external public opinion environment, starting from today, the national team will continue to be interviewed by all media reporters except for the routine interviews arranged by the government, and I hope you understand. ”

As soon as Gao Han's words fell, the audience was in an uproar again, and everyone started to talk about it.

But Gao Han didn't give them another chance, got up and said goodbye and left.

…………

…………

"It's a bad situation. ”

Gao Han had just walked out of the press conference hall and discussed with the press officer all the way how to deal with the aftermath, and when he returned to the coach's office, he saw that the physical trainer Buenaventura was already waiting there.

As soon as he saw Gao Han, the world's top physical fitness expert said worriedly.

Gao Han has been mentally prepared for this, because as the season progresses, the players will be worse physically and psychologically.

During the training camp in September, many things had already shown signs of occurring, and I believe that October will be even more unsatisfactory.

"You see, many international players are very tired, mentally quite tired, such as Guangzhou, Shanghai and other big clubs, so far this year have played more than 50 games, and the objective environment in China is ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Buenaventura sighed heavily.

The distance from Guangzhou to Beijing is equivalent to the distance from Madrid, Spain to Copenhagen, Denmark, which is almost the same as the devil's away game in the Champions League, but this is the norm in China, if it is to the Northeast, the distance is even farther.

Coupled with the problems of domestic flights, urban transportation and other aspects, the consumption of players in away games is far greater than that of away games in the Champions League, and it is not comparable to the domestic venues of major European leagues.

And playing more than 50 games in a single season, such intensity is indeed quite large.

Gao Han silently looked at the player's physical examination report submitted by Buenaventura, his face full of solemnity.

Although he had long been aware of the difficulties and had been prepared for them, the situation exceeded his expectations.

This has a lot to do with his lack of experience and lack of consideration for the problems brought about by the domestic league and the objective environment.

"How's it going?Lorenzo, is there a way?" asked Gao Han with concern.

Buenaventura nodded, "Give me three days, I believe I should be able to adjust, but in the next period of time, there will definitely be no way to strengthen training, and after playing Syria, we will rush to Tashkent, Uzbekistan to play away." ”

It's also a big nuisance.

If it's just a game against Syria, it's still easier to do, but the problem is that there is still a devil's away.

"Any suggestions?" asked Gao Han.

Buenaventura smiled, sure enough, he was most familiar with his old partner, "My advice is...... Take turns. ”

"Rotation?" Gao Han's brow couldn't help but furrow.

It's hard.

The current situation of the national team is there, and the strength is like this, and the rotation will inevitably affect the performance of the national team.

What's more, no one is sure whether the team will drop the chain after the rotation.

But Buenaventura is right, if you don't rotate, many players will not be able to survive the second game.

You must know that from Xi'an to Tashkent, not only is it a long journey, but the away conditions in Uzbekistan are also very bad, and the challenge is also great.

"I'll think about it again, but I can give you three days to adjust the fitness and condition of the players, and Steve to hurry up. Gao Han admonished.

Buenaventura is in charge of fitness and injury care, Steve Peters is in charge of mental adjustment, and Gao Han's core coaching staff is all tasked with their own tasks, which can be said to be indispensable.

As for goalkeeper Pedro Harrow, his most important task now is to find the most suitable starting goalkeeper for Alpine.

After sending Buenaventura away, Gao Han exhaled heavily, and sat down in his office chair tiredly, closing his sour eyes, he felt that he needed to rest well.

After he returned to Beijing with Van Gaal, he handed over the Dutch coach to Xiang Tianming, and immediately rushed to Wuhan non-stop, but after arriving, a lot of things happened, causing his whole person to almost rotate continuously, and there was no time to rest at all, and he didn't even sleep well last night.

Playing these two games in Syria and Uzbekistan, unlike playing South Korea and Iran, if Gao Han is not wrong, Syria must be defense-oriented in the away game, and Uzbekistan must be stable at home after seeing the Chinese team's two consecutive wins, which should be a regular game strategy.

Try to grab three points at home and draw away from home, basically as long as the goal is achieved, the group can basically advance.

But in this way, it will be a great test for the Chinese team's attack.

Before playing South Korea and Iran, Gao Han was more about adjusting the team's defense, although he improved on the offensive end, but he never had time to organize well, but the current situation forced Gao Han to execute the plan in advance, and the time was too tight.

In addition to these problems, the physical fitness of the players is also an urgent problem that Gao Han must face.

Buenaventura's proposed rotation is indeed a good option, but how do you rotate it?
