After Real Madrid won two Super Cups in a row, Liu Han left the team in a hurry, and he wanted to return to Asia again, back to participate in the top 10 of the 02 World Cup Asian Qualifiers that all Chinese fans are looking forward to. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Another impact on the World Cup, but this time the Chinese team is different from the past in that they are full of confidence, including the fans who have always supported Chinese football are also full of confidence in the national team to enter the World Cup for the first time.

The 2000 Sydney Games can be said to be a bumper year for Chinese sports, not only the total number of gold medals ranked in the top three, but also the men's national Olympic team also won the heaviest gold medal in history, which is undoubtedly a great encouragement for Chinese football.

With the Olympic gold medal, Wang Junsheng's seat is very secure, and Horton, who led the team to win the Olympic championship, has also secured the position of head coach of the national team and the national Olympic team, and he is now fully committed to the task of fighting for Chinese football, not only teaching himself Chinese, but also applying for permanent residency in China.

This time the Chinese national team hit the World Cup again can be said to be the best opportunity for Chinese football in recent decades, because the World Cup Japan and South Korea as the host will directly enter the top 32, so the main opponents of the national football team in Asia are a lot less, only Saudi Arabia and Iran may pose a threat to the national football team, but very fortunately, the national football team in the group stage after the smooth appearance of the top 10 draw in the safest position, they and the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Uzbekistan and Qatar are in a group, so even if the national team with Liu Han is not afraid of Saudi Arabia and Iran, it is still very good to be able to draw such a lucky sign.

Due to the very stable position of the head coach of the Horton national team, coupled with the support of Wang Junsheng, the "meritorious" chairman of the Football Association, it can be said that there are no previous problems in this national team, Horton excluded some domestic "thorn head" players from the national team, and chose to form a new national team based on the young players of the 2000 National Olympic team, only Hao Haixi, Fan Zhiyi and others were selected for the national team, and some others were excluded, and like Li Jinyu, Zhang Yuning, Li Tie, Zhang Xiaorui and Sun Chenghai and others also joined European teams after 2000, although they all played in the second- and third-rate leagues in Europe, but these young people grew up much faster than domestic players.

In fact, before Liu Han rushed back, the national team had already played a top ten match at the home Shenyang Wulihe Stadium, and the national team fighting at home defeated the first opponent the United Arab Emirates team 3-0 cleanly, making a good start for the top 10 matches, and now Liu Han is also about to return to the team, such a Chinese team is undoubtedly the top team in Asia.

On August 30, 2001, Liu Han arrived in Muscat, the capital of Oman, by plane.

For the arrival of Liu Han, most of the national team members are welcome, after all, the current Liu Han can be called the first person in Chinese sports, not only the representative of Chinese football, but also the representative of Chinese basketball, and this national team is a team mainly formed by the 2000 National Olympic team, so there is no problem at all whether Liu Han can integrate into the team, because the tactical core of this team is Liu Han, and the team's idea is to build a team with a balanced offense and defense around Liu Han. This idea was collectively agreed upon by the Football Association.

When he came to Muscat, Liu Han immediately rushed to the stadium for the first joint training with the national team after a short rest.

The results of the joint training are gratifying, Liu Han's state is no problem, and the team's tactics can be completely played.

On August 31, 2001, the second game of the top 10 matches of the Chinese team officially started.

In this game, the Chinese team put on a 442 formation, Liu Han sat in the middle, and on the front line was the partner of Hao Haixi and Li Jinyu.

At the end of August, the temperature in Muscat was as high as 35 degrees Celsius and the humidity was very high, which caused a lot of problems for the Chinese players, but the Oman team was not too strong, and the Chinese team has been suppressing the opponent since the opening.

Liu Han and the team's cooperation is tacit, the right side of the midfield is the newcomer Li Xiaopeng, although he has never partnered with Liu Han before, but under Liu Han's active running, Li Xiaopeng still showed a good state, although the player from Shandong did not get the opportunity to play in the first game with the United Arab Emirates, but this game coach Horton chose to trust this newcomer.

The left side of the midfield is Zhang Xiaorui, who was trained by the "Jianlibao team", he cooperated with Liu Han in the 2000 Olympic Games, and is familiar with Liu Han's style, plus he is a left-footed player, good at breaking through, and the technique at his feet is also very delicate, which can be regarded as one of the boutiques produced by the "Jianlibao team" that year.

Liu Han gave full play to his excellent running ability after the start of the game, he kept running, connecting most of the players of the national team, and the entire central axis was his range of motion.

Although Hao Haixi has been looking for opportunities in the forward position, he can't help but sigh in his heart, how many years, the Chinese team has never shown such a strong dominance, they have almost suppressed the Oman team in the half of the defense from the beginning of the game, and the opposing players are even difficult to touch the ball.

In such a situation, the Chinese team quickly took the lead, Liu Han began to receive the ball cut off by Li Gang from the back and the players in the midfield of the national team played a wonderful team cooperation, and the football was smoothly delivered to the front.

In the front, Hao Haixi did not be greedy after taking the ball with his back, and passed back to Li Jinyu who came to answer, Li Jinyu pulled his foot and shot angrily at the incoming ball, and the ball went straight to the corner of the goal.

Li Jinyu moved to Antwerp in Belgium after the 2000 Olympics, and although he was only a substitute striker in the team, he has grown rapidly, and now his shooting skills and confrontation ability have improved greatly.

The Omani team was powerless in the face of such a goal, because the previous pass of the Chinese team had almost torn their defense to shreds, and when Li Jinyu was running, the Omani defender who was defending him went to make up for Zhang Xiaorui, who was inserted diagonally.

The Chinese team, which had a smooth start, took a slight break in the intensity of the attack after scoring the goal, after all, the climate here is hot, the humidity is high, and the players' physical strength is consumed quickly.

However, before the end of the half, the Chinese team got a free kick opportunity in front, Liu Han showed the full moon scimitar stunt, and a right-footed curling ball made the goalkeeper of the Oman team look at the ball again.

The Chinese team, who led 2-0 in the first half, completely confirmed the victory of the game soon after the start of the second half, Li Xiaopeng on the right sent a precise cross without defense, Hao Haixi pressed the Oman defender to score the ball, and the Chinese team sealed the victory of the game.

Sixty minutes after the second half, the Chinese team will be replaced by substitute players, Liu Han and Hao Haixi are resting, replacing young players to adapt to the atmosphere of the game, and the atmosphere in the current national team is very good.

In the end, the national team thrashed Oman 4-0, and Li Jinyu scored his second goal in the top 10 before the end. (To be continued.) )
