In the first ten minutes, two goals were conceded in a row, and as long as Syria is not stupid, it knows that it must be resolutely defended.

After scoring consecutive goals, the Chinese team also began to slow down its offensive.

This is the requirement before the high cold game, as long as the goal is led at the beginning, then whether it is one goal or two goals, it will be closed after ten minutes, and the advantage of this is to reduce the consumption of players and prepare for the next away game.

Syria's overall strength is indeed inferior to that of the Chinese team, and the individual ability of the players is not strong, which directly leads to the fact that even if they get the opportunity to counterattack, it is difficult to launch a threatening attack.

The reason why this national team, which was mired in civil war, was able to break through from the round of 40 and draw with South Korea in Malaysia was more due to their tight defensive system and excellent tactical discipline from top to bottom.

After conceding two goals in a row, they also got rid of the chaos of the opening game and quickly organized a methodical defence.

This led to the entire first half, the Chinese team firmly locked the game situation, the ball possession rate was as high as 69 percent, a new high since Gao Han took charge, and there were 35 times to attack the 30-meter area of Syria, which shows that the team's passing penetration is still very effective.

Wang Lei started in place of Zheng Zhi in this game, and his performance was very stable, contributing a corner kick assist at the beginning, and the second goal also came from his big foot transfer plan, and then he also planned many threatening attacks, but failed to score.

Judging from the data of the first half, the two wings of the Chinese team played more actively, the left wing composed of Jiang Zhipeng and Yang Xin, and the right wing composed of Zhao Mingjian and Gao Ren, all played their due threat, and the two wings occupied 86% of the team's attack in the opponent's 30-meter area, which is indeed somewhat surprising.

It was precisely from the activity of the two wings that made Gao Han realize the weakness of the middle lane.

Mainly after Syria retreated to the 30-meter area of its own side, it was even more difficult for the Chinese team to give full play to its advantages, especially the passing and cutting cooperation and running without the ball, which were effectively restricted, but the physical weakness of the young players in the front court was exposed, which also led to the team's offensive and little threat.

Fortunately, with a two-goal lead in hand, Gao Han was not in a hurry.

But what made Gao Han happy was that when the team pressed forward as a whole and advanced the ball control area to the front of the opponent's 30-meter area, on the one hand, the success rate of passing and receiving the ball in the front court was high, and it was no longer as before, the formation was all set, but the result was that the ball was frequently passed and received wrongly, resulting in being counterattacked by the opponent.

This also has a lot to do with the running of the players in the front court, after all, if you can run out of space, there will naturally be fewer mistakes in passing and receiving.

Another welcome change came from the backline, with Zhao Jun and Feng Xiaoting both taking on the role of ball points.

Central defender out of the ball, this can be said to be the mainstream trend of world football in recent years, and it is also a must-have ability for a main passing and control team, Zhao Jun himself is a striker, needless to say, Feng Xiaoting's ability to play the ball is also very good, and it is very stable, and the brave but somewhat reckless Zhao Jun is a good match.

This also made Gao Han realize that this might be a direction worth studying.

"Syria's defense is very characteristic, if we hadn't caught them off guard in the opening game, I guess it wouldn't have been so easy to win this game. ”

Assistant coach Xiao Mu stood aside and said with great joy.

Judging from the performance of the entire first half, Syria's strength is indeed not weak, the counterattack ability is poor, but the defense is quite good, no wonder it can draw 0-0 with South Korea in Malaysia.

"It's mainly the position of the defenders, and the linkage between the players, especially noteworthy......" Gao Han pointed to the pitch, where a Syrian defender was following Zhang Yuning, who this time pulled to the left to receive the ball and played one-on-one with the opponent.

"Obviously, they quickly learned the lesson of the second goal, kept the distance very well, and didn't give Zhang Yuning a chance to get away with it easily, which is of course a tactical effect, but the usual training is also indispensable. ”

In defense, it is very important to maintain the right distance, too close, easy to get rid of, too far, and give the opponent space and time to handle the ball, so according to the characteristics of different players, maintain the most appropriate defensive distance, this is a homework.

Even to a certain extent, this point is worth learning and learning from national football players.

To put it mildly, even if it is a bus, different people put it out, and the effect is completely different.

Gao Han has been watching the Chinese Super League for a while recently, and it was found that many domestic head coaches' tactics have no purpose, no core strategy, even the defense is disorderly, simply relying on the number of people to make up, and directly open the big foot after the defense is successful, which is the most inefficient and the most outdated.

Where is the defense just to make up the numbers?

"If you don't have the two goals in the opening game, this goal is really enough to win Syria. Gao Han said happily.

…………

…………

Heading into the break with a two-goal lead, Gao Han praised the internationals in the dressing room, while also encouraging them to keep up the good work, and immediately adjusted the tactics for the second half.

And this time, Gao Han was directly used in the Han Dynasty to replace Hao Junmin.

Everyone knows that Hao Junmin is Gao Han's favorite general, the performance of this game is average, but it is mainly from Gao Han's instructions, after the team takes the lead, the main players are all closed to play, mainly to be safe, and must keep some strength to deal with the next away game against Uzbekistan.

And the midfielder replaced him for this purpose.

After Yu Hanchao came on the field, Gao Han adjusted the lineup, letting Yu Hanchao play on the left, Yang Xin changed to the right, Gao Ren moved to the middle, the team is still four, three, three, Gao Ren is in the middle of the position is relatively forward, Wang Lei and Huang Baiwen are still dragging back double waist position.

This adjustment is somewhat with a bit of a training posture, Gao Han also wants to send a signal to the players, don't be too nervous, two balls in hand, as long as there are no accidents, this game can basically be won.

It turned out that after the substitutions in the second half, the Chinese team began to open up the situation in the middle.

Gao Ren's ability to take the ball and dribble in the middle, especially to move forward, still showed.

Especially at the beginning of the second half, Gao Ren took the ball in the middle of the field and got rid of two people in a row, and sent the ball into the penalty area.

After that, the strict defense of Gao Ren was strengthened, and there were many small actions, but there were also many fouls, although more fouls were committed in the area away from the goal, but the Chinese team still got a lot of free kick opportunities in the front court, creating a lot of trouble for the Syrian defense.

This also made Gao Han see another possibility, that is, to let Gao Ren come back to play in the middle.

Yang Xin is a left-footed general, although the right foot has been practiced, but at most he can only get up and hit the goal, if the flexibility is still far inferior to the left foot, but Gao Ren is different, he is very proficient in both left and right feet, not only can skillfully dribble the ball, but also very threatening.

What's more, the characteristics of these two players are also different, Yang Xin is fast, explosive, has good physical fitness, is not short, and is still in the development stage, but he has grown to almost one meter eight, on the other hand, Gao Ren, who is short and weak, has weak physical strength, and now he is less than one meter seven, but the work under his feet is very thin, and the ball can hardly be lost at his feet.

Therefore, the Syrian defenders can only foul him.

Judging from the current situation, Yang Xin's characteristics are obvious, and the development trend is also very obvious, that is, the side road.

But Gao Ren is not so sure, he can play both the side and the middle, and they all have good performances, so he can only choose to take one step at a time, observe slowly, and cultivate slowly.

…………

…………

As the second half of the game progressed, the Chinese team gradually exposed some problems.

Syria has finally launched a very threatening counterattack.

After the opponent's wide player Maswass forced a breakthrough through the teenager Wang Lei with the ball on the left side, he forced his way into the penalty area, and when facing the teenager Zhao Jun, he suddenly reversed the triangle and passed it back to his teammates who followed in the back row.

At the critical moment, Feng Xiaoting suddenly shook off the defenders behind him, stabbed out diagonally, grabbed the player who followed the opponent, and directly made a sliding tackle to destroy the ball out of the penalty area, and then Jiang Zhipeng, who followed up, immediately cleared the ball with a big foot.

Everyone in the stadium broke out in a cold sweat.

If the opponent grabs the ball, it will be a single knife, and you can score a goal with a casual push.

Feng Xiaoting got up from the ground, slapped off the grass clippings on his body vigorously, and shouted at Wang Lei, who apologized: "Remember, don't get close to him easily, just entangle him, there are us behind you." ”

Wang Lei nodded hurriedly, he was indeed a little reckless.

In the defense just now, he could have chosen to get stuck on the inside line and follow the opponent, but the opponent was obviously aware of this, so he kept approaching him, and he finally couldn't help but rush up.

As a result, as soon as the bodies of the two came into contact, Wang Lei knew that it was miserable, and the whole person was taken to the ground by the other party, embarrassed.

At the end of the day, he's only eighteen years old, and he's nowhere near as physically strong as the opposing team's senior players.

On the sidelines, in the face of the sudden mistakes on the field, Gao Han was also a little surprised, this should be Wang Lei's only major mistake so far in this game, and it also exposed the problems and weaknesses of young players.

Fortunately, Syria is not strong, and if it were replaced by Iran or South Korea, I am afraid that it would not be able to hold it this time.

Soon, he immediately made a substitution, replacing Jiang Zhipeng with Ren Xing, strengthening the defense on the left side, and at the same time, the team also began to retreat, focusing on stability, after all, the game went on to this, two goals ahead, or even a one-goal lead is enough.

What Gao Han should think about now is how to beat Uzbekistan in the next away game after winning this game steadily.

When the game reached the seventy-fifth minute, Gao Han made the last substitution of the game, replacing Zhang Yuning with center Gao Lin.

The Ajax player, who has already scored four goals in the Eredivisie, provided an assist in a game and had plenty of chances for the rest of the game, but he couldn't capitalise on them.

However, the overall performance is still quite good, especially in the front court, he frequently pulls to the side to receive the ball, and responds to the attacks of his teammates, which reflects the role that a strong center should have, and also shows everyone that he does have the strength level to serve as the chief center of the Chinese team.

After successive substitutions, the meaning of the Chinese team to hold on to the victory is also very clear.

Syria launched a strong attack in the last ten minutes, while the Chinese team switched to a defensive counterattack, but Syria failed to take advantage, but the Chinese team got several good counterattacks, and Yang Xin also missed a very good scoring opportunity.

In the end, with two goals from Zhao Jun and Gao Ren, the Chinese team defeated Syria 2-0 at home and won three consecutive victories.
