Chapter 117: Yasen VS Gao Hongbo
Shijiazhuang Yongchang Club Training Base, Yasen sat in the office to study the game video of Jiangsu Shuntian, and in four days the first Shijiazhuang Yongchang away game against Jiangsu Shuntian in the semifinals of the FA Cup will begin, Yasen has no time to celebrate, so he has to actively devote himself to work.
Yasen looked at the video of Shuntian's game, the more he watched, the heavier it became, he can now be completely sure that although Shenhua is only two points behind Shuntian in the league standings, there is still a very obvious gap in the strength of the two teams.
To distinguish between Shuntian is a team in the middle and upper reaches, while Shenhua is a team in the middle and lower reaches.
Not to mention Shen Xin, there is no way to compare with Shun Tian at all, so what about Yongchang, which is rampant in the middle league?
Yasen frowned, Qiao Luo's injury was almost better, Yasen was ready to let him play in the match with Shuntian, so that Yongchang's main lineup would basically return, and only Li Yun could not play.
Yongchang, who does not have Li Yun, not only has the speed of advancement been greatly reduced, but the quality of the attack has also been weakened a lot.
When he hadn't watched the video of the Shuntian game, Yasen wanted to copy Yongchang's tactics against Shenhua, which was to put the bus and defend and counterattack.
But now, Yasen felt that Yongchang's counterattack could not pose a threat at all in front of Shuntian.
Because when Yongchang faced Shuntian, there was no breakthrough point at all. Shuntian's midfield is composed of Wu Xi, Liu Jianye, Tao Yuan, Zhang Xinlin, Sun Ke, Yang Hao, Yang Xiaotian, Yongchang's counterattack, it is nothing more than Caron, Sun Haosheng, Huang Fengtao, and Huang Fengtao stepped forward to cooperate, but Wu Xi, Liu Jianye, and Sun Ke are all international players, and the strength of these people is not outstanding compared with the foreign aid of the Chinese Super League, but against domestic players, they are undoubtedly superior.
Not to mention the Shuntian guard line, as well as the international-level Jixiang, Li Ang, and Ren Hang, whether these people are compared to their body, speed, or technology, they are definitely not weaker than Huang Fengtao and Sun Haosheng, so where is the breakthrough point of Yongchang?
If Li Yun is not injured, Yasen is still confident, Li Yun has absolutely no problem with the Shuntian players, but now that Li Yun can't play, Yasen will have a headache, because no matter how he adjusts the formation, Yongchang's can't be compared with Shuntian.
Yasen wrote and drew on the tactical board, and he decided to find another way out, so that Yongchang could try not to concede a goal, and even score a goal or two, so that when he returned to his home stadium, Yongchang might still have a chance to turn the tables.
That night, Yasin worked until two o'clock in the morning.
When Yasen was actively preparing for the FA Cup, Jiangsu Shun Catholic Lian Gao Hongbo was not idle, and he was also studying Yongchang.
Gao Hongbo was a very good player when he was young, and he was once the main player of the national second team, at his time, the national second team was not a substitute team, but another national team other than the first team, one team and two teams, two coaches, healthy competition, so there is such a distinction.
In the second year of his retirement, Gao Hongbo began his coaching career, first as an assistant coach, and then as a head coach, coaching Changchun Yatai at the end of 06, and won the Chinese Super League championship with Yatai in 07, and Gao Hongbo was also the best coach of the year.
In 09, Gao Hongbo became the head coach of the Chinese national team, he reigned for 828 days, played a total of 42 official games, the Chinese team won 24 wins, 13 draws and 5 losses, with a winning rate of nearly 60%, only lost to Portugal, Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Qatar, drew with Japan, won against South Korea, and the FIFA world ranking of the Chinese national team rose 39 places from the lowest 108 at the beginning of his tenure, ranking 69th, fifth in Asia.
It's just that Gao Hongbo's team performed average in the main game and couldn't play in the friendly match, so the media jokingly called it the "king of the warm-up game".
After that, Gao Hongbo coached Guizhou Renhe and the team, and the following year he led Renhe to the FA Cup final, winning the runner-up, fourth in the Chinese Super League, and winning the AFC Champions League.
There is no doubt that among domestic coaches, Gao Hongbo's business level is absolutely fine, and his weakness is something off the field.
Gao Hongbo is introverted and stubborn, and is not good at handling interpersonal relationships, so he often has conflicts with clubs or players.
It is precisely because Gao Hongbo is not good at dealing with unfamiliar people, so he prefers cronies, and many times the cronies who follow him are not strong, and Gao Hongbo insists on letting them play, so he gives others the impression of selfishness, which also deepens his contradictions with fans and other players.
And his upright personality makes Gao Hongbo often blame the players in the team directly after the game.
Stubbornness makes Gao Hongbo not say something that the media likes, so no matter what team he coaches, he is not treated well by the media.
But no matter what, as the head coach, Gao Hongbo is still capable.
Gao Hongbo joined Jiangsu Shuntian at the end of 13, and his goal is to make Shuntian a strong team in the Chinese Super League. Gao Hongbo's understanding is that a strong team should have multiple sets of tactical play, and at the same time, it should have enough bench depth.
In order to achieve this goal, he began to reinvent Sainty, and the first step was to boldly use young players.
Tao Yuan, Li Ang, Zhang Xinlin, and Yang Xiaotian were all reused and excavated after Gao Hongbo coached.
The second step is to boldly change the position of the player, Sun Ke, who used to only run and cross on the right side, can already skillfully move on the two wings and complete the inside shot, and the way of playing the ball is more abundant. Ji Xiang, who used to only fight on the left side, has become the main fullback.
Judging from the player reserves of 14 Shuntian, there is no doubt that Gao Hongbo's transformation was successful, but the Jiangsu media and fans still dislike Gao Hongbo very much.
No matter what time it was, the media and fans were comparing Gao Hongbo to former head coach Dragan.
Dragan reigned for three years, the first year brought the Shuntian team deep in the relegation zone to the historic fourth place, and the second year to get the first runner-up in the history of the Chinese Super League, second only to the super-large investment giant Guangzhou Evergrande, the team embarked on the AFC Champions League journey for the first time in history, suppressed the Japanese league runner-up Sendai at home in the AFC Champions League, and Vega Tai only ranked third in the group with a goal difference disadvantage and failed to qualify.
Coupled with the youthful enthusiasm of Shuntian during the Dragan period, fans miss Dragan infinitely.
Although Gao Hongbo is introverted, he is also eager to be recognized by the fans, and this year's FA Cup is his chance.
The league is too far behind the first group to catch up, but the FA Cup, as long as you seize the opportunity, may be able to win the championship and set a team record.
Therefore, Gao Hongbo began to study Yongchang early, Yongchang as the overlord of the Chinese League, Gao Hongbo believes that this Yongchang team can definitely be relegated in the Chinese Super League, but the league points can not be in the top ten, because the Chinese Super League physical confrontation team is much higher than the Chinese League, Yongchang may be able to hold on to three or four games, but in a season, it will inevitably fall behind.
There is no doubt that compared to the strength on paper, Shun Tianqiang Yongchang is too much, and one thing is very fortunate that Yongchang's number one star Li Yun is injured.
In the first game of the semifinals, he won Yongchang with a big score, and he was basically sure to enter the finals.
Gao Hongbo clenched his fists and was full of confidence.
