On the evening of September 6, Shenyang Olympic Sports Center.

More than 500 well-known media reporters at home and abroad, and more than 60,000 fans from all over the country gathered in Shenyang.

This is the first home match of the Top 12 in the past 15 years, and it has attracted the attention of the people of the whole country.

Gao Han once again lined up in a four-three-three formation in this game, but the starting lineup changed from the previous game against South Korea.

The goalkeeper is Zeng Cheng, the backline is Jiang Zhipeng, Feng Xiaoting, Mei Fang and Zhang Linfan, the midfield is Hao Junmin, Zheng Zhi and Huang Baiwen, and the front trident is a combination of Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning and Gao Lin.

In the last game against South Korea, he came on as a substitute, but the midfielder Hao Junmin, who performed very well, appeared in the starting lineup, but the front trident was still a combination of Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning and Gao Lin.

Obviously, Gao Han still continues the defensive counterattack style against South Korea.

In the end, it was the first home stadium of the Chinese team, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely warm, especially before the start of the game, more than 60,000 fans and players sang the national anthem in unison, which was even more shocking and violent.

But in the game, it was the Iranian team that took the lead.

At the beginning of the game, Iran, who were playing away, launched a quick attack on the Chinese team, and soon formed an offensive after the first kick-off, and quickly sent the ball into the penalty area, but Feng Xiaoting grabbed before Azmoun and cleared the ball.

Iran's top scorer, who scored seven goals in the group stage of the round of 40, sprinted very fast just now, which left a deep impression on people, and also reminded the Chinese team that although it is a home game, it still can't be careless about Iran.

Soon, the Chinese team also found an opportunity to counterattack, Zhang Linfan launched a long pass in the backfield, Gao Lin stopped the ball and turned to Zhang Yuning in the penalty area, however, the defenders of the Iranian team returned to defense in a very timely manner, Zhang Yuning moved a little slowly, and was destroyed.

Huang Baiwen then sent a corner kick, but the Chinese team failed to create a threat, but Iran seized an opportunity to play a rush attack, but fortunately Zeng Cheng expanded the defensive range and rushed to the edge of the penalty area to intercept the ball.

Iran still adopts a 4231 style of play in this game, and the three midfielders in the Chinese team's 433 formation, Zheng Zhi is dragging at the end, responsible for protecting the defense line, while Hao Junmin and Huang Baiwen are relatively forward, suppressing the opponent's two backs.

In the tactical system of the Iranian team, the veteran Tai Murian, one of the two backs, is responsible for organizing the dispatch and controlling the rhythm, and Gao Han arranged for Hao Junmin to be responsible for marking and interference, as long as he gets the ball, Hao Junmin will get close as soon as possible, and will not give him the space to easily take the ball and play the ball.

Shojay plays as a midfielder, leading the way up front and creating chances, delivering shells to his teammates, while Jahanbakhsh and Amiri on the flanks are responsible for opening up the width, and the full-backs are forward when attacking with the ball, which can easily create a numerical advantage and create chances.

But the Chinese team is also prepared for this, Zheng Zhi dragged at the end, responsible for protecting the defense line and following Shojay, Huang Baiwen's position was also relatively retreated, while assisting Zheng Zhi, he also paid attention to the forward insertion of Iranian midfielder Ezzatorahi.

At just 19 years old, Ezzatorahi is a dangerous player and Iran's youngest goalscorer, despite his height of 1.90 meters, but he is not slow at all and has a job on his feet.

It is worth mentioning that the Iranian international played for Atletico Madrid at one point, but then failed to establish himself.

In view of the characteristics of the Iranian team, Gao Han's task of the defensive line has also been adjusted, and Jiang Zhipeng and Zhang Linfan on the two wings are also relatively inward, mainly to block the Iranian team's inward line, but in this way, the crosses on the side are more open.

This is also Gao Han's strategy in this game, blocking Iran's strong attack in the middle, letting go of the wings, and letting them cross.

Judging from Iran's match against Qatar, Iran's attacking efficiency was not high in terms of receiving crosses, and although Jahanbakhsh on the right had eight crosses, none of them created a threat, but instead cut inside to create a goal.

Several of Iran's attacking players in the front court are also very impactful players, but once the Chinese team maintains a careful array and does not leave space for them, their offensive effect will be greatly reduced.

That's why Iran couldn't score in 90 minutes of regular time in their home game against Qatar.

And in this game, in the face of China, Iran is once again in the same bitter situation.

"Eh, you say, what does your boss mean? He tried everything possible to recruit you back from Europe, but the result was good, he didn't give him a minute of playing time, what did he want to do?"

"Look at that nineteen-year-old Zhang Yuning, he started both games and scored two goals in a row, aren't you all almost eighteen years old? Why can't you be arranged? Even if you don't start, you should be substituted, right?"

"I don't think he's trying to tease you?"

"It's not good if it affects the state of the club, you are all on the first team now, how embarrassing it would be if you were accidentally kicked back to the second team?"

"If you want to say that your boss is not righteous, you are a player in Chinatown, and Chinatown is his, you entered the national team, played games, performed well, and he also has a good face, but why don't you take care of it?"

……

In the stands, Wang Lei and Zhao Jun were watching the game intently, but Wang Lei's local tyrant father kept muttering and complaining in his ears, because his baby son returned to China for training this time, and he didn't even have a minute of playing time, and he was all sitting in the stands.

"Eh, Wang Lei, I'm talking to you, did you hear that?"

Wang Lei, who was bumped on the arm by his father and was watching the game intently, turned his head unhappily and glared at his father, "I heard it, you don't understand anything, don't talk nonsense, it's not good if someone else hears it." ”

"I'm doing this for your own good, you said you ...... like this"

"I'm not at the level I was playing at the level I was playing and it's useless to go up. Wang Lei said angrily.

He knows his father's character best, a little money, but some people have no one in mind.

It was precisely because of his behavior that he was ridiculed and teased by his teammates and friends after he entered Chinatown, and Wang Lei also complained about his father.

"Yes, uncle, Mr. Gao Han said that the purpose of recruiting us back is to help us integrate into the team, and at the same time to check our level, at our age, if we want to play Iran and South Korea, it is enough to choke, it is better to sit in the stands and carefully observe and study the game. Zhao Jun also persuaded on the side.

"But this ......"

"Don't talk about it, Dad, we're going to focus on the game. ”

With that, the two boys continued to watch the game, pointing and discussing.

Wang Lei's father, who was sitting on the side, couldn't understand what they were saying at all, and only heard Wang Lei say for a while, Zheng Zhi's position this time is too beautiful, and sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, and Zhao Jun said for a while, Feng Xiaoting's prediction this time is too accurate, and he is the leading central defender in Asia......

No, he couldn't discuss these majors with them, but as an amateur fan, he could see it somewhat.

Zheng Zhi did perform better in this position after lagging behind.

Just now, the opponent's left back inserted the sleeve again, Zhang Linfan followed the defense, Huang Baiwen followed Amiri, and when Shojay ran over to receive the pass, it was Zheng Zhi who wisely stood in advance and blocked in front of Shojay, otherwise, with Shojay's position just now, if Zheng Zhi was half a beat slow, it is estimated that Shojay would pass behind.

Wang Lei's father knows in his heart that Zheng Zhi is currently the most important member of the national team, but he is not young, and now everyone is worried about who will be able to straighten the waist of the Chinese national team once Zheng Zhi retires or has an injury.

And Gao Han is now cultivating Wang Lei as Zheng Zhi's successor, leading the new with the old, which is also a good thing for Wang Lei.

But as a fan and Wang Lei's father, he can't wait to see his son play.

This put on the jersey of the national team and played South Korea and Iran, how proud is he to be a father?

In the future, I will have more capital to brag about in front of my old friends, isn't it?

But look at the side again, Wang Lei and Zhao Jun are staring at the court with their eyes, studying their teammates and games, where do they think about this?

"A world famous man is a world famous handsome!"

In another stand, the bigwigs of the Football Association gathered one after another, and many well-known domestic coaches also came to the scene to watch the game.

Judging from the performance of the opening 20 minutes, the Chinese team performed very integrally, and the Iranian team also attacked and defended each other on the field, not completely falling behind, and the tight defensive array did not give the Iranian team an absolute chance to score.

"The progress of the assistant defense and pressing is very obvious, the running progress of the players is also very good, the three forwards actively participate in the defense, forming the first line of defense, and the central defender Feng Xiaoting also took on the team's ball task, the offense and defense are more like a combination of a whole, quite good, no wonder they can beat South Korea 3-1 away from home. ”

"Yes, in the past, our defense was more based on numbers, but now it seems that even with four defenders and three midfielders, we can still organize a tight tactic, the key is the player arrival rate and the pace of the overall movement. ”

"The three lines are not disjointed, Iran is facing two lines of defense at any time, it is difficult to create opportunities, and it is not possible to find an effective offensive routine, I didn't expect Gao Han to be not only a top offensive master, but also so good at defense. ”

"The most important thing is the change in the mentality of the players, the rhythm is very consistent, it can be fast when it should be fast, it can be slow and it can be slowed down, the execution is strong, even Gao Lin is running actively, and obviously self-confident, dare to take the ball, no longer afraid of the opponent, no longer afraid of the tail, I think this change is also closely related to Gao Han. ”

"I think the most important thing in the national team at the moment is Zheng Zhi, this veteran has played too much, several times Iran has been close to breaking through our defense, but Zheng Zhi can always appear in the position where he is needed at critical moments, protect the defense, cut off the opponent's passing line, or attack. ”

"That's right, Zheng Zhi is indeed very important, under Gao Han's command, his role is undoubted, but it's a pity that he is not young, if Zheng Zhi is injured, I'm afraid it will be ......"

It is indeed time to consider the issue of Zheng Zhi's successor.

Everyone present can see that the current national team is indeed well adjusted, and the run-in is also good, especially the defense, which is played in an orderly manner, and although the counterattack attack is based on long passes, it is also very distinctive.

The two center forwards, Zhang Yuning and Gao Lin, both played an important tactical role in the frontcourt.

This is also the reason why Gao Han continued the starting lineup of the forward line in the previous game in this game.

I just don't know if it will continue to work this time?

Just as the thought of everyone arose, there was a sudden exclamation from the stands of the stadium.

I only saw a long pass from the Chinese backfield, which crossed half the court and flew to the front.
