Today's match is a friendly in preparation for the World Cup qualifiers at the end of the month. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Director Gao also attaches great importance to this game, after all, it is his debut for the national team, and he has not led the national team before this.
So this time, he also deliberately put on a tie in advance, chose a suit, and then came to the competition venue.
With a serious face, he watched as the team slowly entered the field.
The starting line-up is undoubtedly the main line-up of the national youth team, while the warm-up opponents Iran have sent a substitute line-up, and some players who have played overseas have not returned, so it is clear that they do not attach much importance to this game.
Coach Gao laid out the lineup before the game, and the 4-4-2 lineup was basically maintained, after all, after trying the formation many times, he decided that this formation was the most secure, both offensive and defensive.
Although the current formation, 4-2-3-1 has slowly taken over, and many teams will use this formation, but after all, it is still better to fit the team.
Director Gao's expression was grim, after all, this was his only warm-up game, and the time left for him was indeed too little, so that he had no time to prepare at all, but fortunately, this team was relatively familiar, and the Football Association also gave him a corresponding relaxed environment, so he was still relatively satisfied, but after all, the current situation of the national team is not optimistic, and it is likely to create the worst results, plus he is usually silent, which is even more obvious at this time.
Throughout the game, Director Gao stood on the bench and directed the game.
After the start of the game, he stood from beginning to end, constantly giving instructions to the players, trying his different tactical intentions.
Several core players, Zhang Qing, Han Shan, Gao Lefei, Liu Songren, Zhao Tian, etc., he basically didn't need to investigate, so they all stayed on the bench, and some of the players who had been substituted before appeared in the game one after another.
Because it is a friendly match, there is no limit to the number of players who can be rotated, so in the second half of the game, he will let these main players go up to find their form.
Although the national team's two World Cup qualifiers were not very strong, the national team needed to find their groove quickly in a short period of time, as more goals were needed to guarantee it.
This requires Gao Gui to run in the team in the only game and strive to play more fluently.
The game basically achieved his goal, and the team defeated the Iranian substitute team with a score of 3:1 throughout the game, which was a run-in tactic.
The domestic media are unanimously optimistic about the national team led by Gao Gui, and they believe that victory is no problem, but the goal difference is more worried.
Due to the poor record of the previous national team competition, resulting in the same score as the other team Syria, but the opponent's goal difference is 7 more than the national team, although the next two games, the strength of both teams is very weak, a Maldives, a Yemen, but the two teams are not fuel-efficient lights, they will definitely send an iron bucket formation to defend, the whole team only leaves one person in the front, and the rest are in the backfield, so that the national team will be very difficult to break through the opponent's goal.
Syria are also strong in attack, as evidenced by their ability to lead by so many goal difference.
In short, if you want to advance, you have to win and score more goals.
These days, the high director is thinking hard about this matter.
There are three forwards he relies on, the first is Zhang Qing, and now Serie A is showing his talents, not only scoring in the league, but also scoring in the Champions League, surpassing the core of the team, world-class striker Shevchenko, temporarily ranked first in the team's scorer list, which is already a miracle, so he is the first to rely on.
The second is Liu Songren, he is currently playing for Chelsea in the Premier League, although he is a substitute for Chelsea's star Drogba, but he also has a substitute appearance in the Premier League, and a goal has been scored in just 20 minutes.
And the third person is Li Yuda. He played the main team at Ajax, and after 5 games, he has scored 2 goals, which is not a bad result.
In this warm-up game, the three of them also played briefly in the second half, and the cooperation was not bad.
As for how Director Gao played these two games, the domestic media has already quarreled about it.
Some people say that the high director will send a three-striker formation, which is to bomb wildly, relying on personal ability and low cross to score goals.
Some people say that the high guidance is still a balanced 442 formation, slowly penetrating, and winning through long-range shots.
In short, everyone is looking forward to it, but there are also many people who are pessimistic, feeling that with so many goal differences, even the senior coach who created the myth of the World Youth Championship is powerless, after all, he has led the team for too short a time.
Director Gao was silent, he didn't say anything, just said that he did his best, played the game well, and then said it after winning, which also made media friends not know how to evaluate him.
After the international break, everyone is back at their clubs and ready for the next stage of the competition.
With no Champions League in the middle of the week, there was a short break, followed by a weekend of Serie A and next week's midweek Champions League fixture.
A few games were a test of the players' physical fitness.
But fortunately, Inzaghi has returned to the team, and the three forwards have become four strikers, and Ancelotti is also more relieved to let Inzaghi go on the field to find his form, and now Zhang Qing is also in good shape, and it is also a headache to let anyone play.
This can be regarded as a happy trouble.
After returning, Ancelotti gave everyone a day off to adjust their tired bodies, after all, long-distance travel is very physically exhausting, and there is also the problem of jet lag.
Zhang Qing also slept at home for a day, and finally recovered a little, and then he will face more games, the club's league, the Champions League, and the most important national team matches.
At the end of the day, he was going to return to the resting place as usual, because after the training, he wanted to go back to his residence to see his parents, so he asked the team for a leave of absence and walked home.
As he was walking, a woman stopped him.
Zhang Qing fixed his eyes and saw that this woman was so familiar, and she was actually yellow-skinned, it seemed that she was a compatriot in China, why did she come over at herself, is it really a friend in China?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly walked over and looked at her carefully.
"Huh?!" Zhang Qing's eyes widened suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on his face, he touched his hair a little nervously, and said softly, "It turned out to be you!" ”
The woman gently stroked her hair, tilted her head to the side, said nothing, and smiled sweetly. (To be continued.) )
