Chapter 106: Opening Attack

It is precisely because of the importance of this battle that Gao Jun did not participate in the press conference after the war between China and Ukraine, and even refused all the requests for interviews with reporters, and even the fans tried to avoid it, but put all his mind into the preparation before the game, and strive to improve his state to the highest peak since the start of this World Youth Championships.

But having said that, Gao Jun was relatively weak in communication back then, and after the crossing, due to Director Xu's special love for him, Gao Jun has rarely been harassed by the media, and even the interaction such as autographing fans is obviously less.

Of course, Gao Jun also knows that players can't just concentrate on the game after all, and having a good relationship with fans and the media is an ability that must be mastered, and Director Xu also said that at most, when he reaches the age of 18, he will no longer help him stop reporters and fans, but Gao Jun still decided to focus on winning the World Youth Championship first, "However, I should also form my own team after the World Youth Championships, and it is impossible to reach that height by myself alone in modern football."

At 21:3o on June 25, Beijing time, the quarterfinals of the 2oo5 World Youth Championship between the host Dutch youth team and the Chinese youth team kicked off in Kleedra, but to the surprise of the home audience, the Chinese team, which has always been considered a football underdog, actually moved to attack immediately after kickoff

"Probably only in this game is the middle circle kick-off, I will be relatively free, this opportunity can't be wasted!" , Gao Jun received the ball and rushed towards the hinterland of the Dutch team, but the Dutch team's return defense was very fast, although Gao Jun used his unique way of dribbling to get rid of one, but in a blink of an eye, two more people had come closer, and his lack of thorough way of getting rid of it also made the guy who was briefly rid of it quickly catch up again.

"Three against one?" , Crowchen on the sidelines not only did not worry when he saw this scene, but said with a happy smile on his face, "Gao is good at more than just shooting, if the three of them stare at one, there will definitely be a large amount of space in other places."

Before Crawford's words were finished, Gao Jun sent the ball out of his feet before the three of them completely sealed the space, because there was no close interference at the moment of the pass, and the quality of the turf of the Dutch stadium was excellent, the accuracy and strength of the pass were just right, the left midfielder Yu Hai continued to add forward after the ball was inserted, but soon a Dutch defender rushed over to try to block him to block the Chinese team's attack.

"Yu Hai distributed the ball to Rong Hao on the side cover, ran into the penalty area to answer, Rong Hao took two steps and then passed the ball back to Yu Hai", Huang Jianxiang nervously explained a few words and then his voice suddenly rose, "Yu Hai is good, beautiful!" Pretty! The ball is in! Let's cheer for this wonderful goal, Yu Hai, the left midfielder who has always shown a strong sense of teamwork in the previous game, unexpectedly put on a wonderful individual performance at the beginning of this game, he shook three opposing players in the Dutch team penalty area with a continuous change of direction, including the goalkeeper, and finally scored the ball into the empty goal, helping the Chinese team to take the lead at the beginning of this game! ”

Yu Hai, who scored this goal, excitedly pounced on Gao Jun who ran over to celebrate, and then all the players on the field of the Chinese Youth Team rushed over, and everyone hugged together and shouted the slogan that had been prepared for a long time, "We are strong!" Yes, we are strong! ”

Many foreign coaches who come to China to coach have the same puzzle, why are many Chinese players not bad at training and even in warm-up games, but when they get to the game, they become rough brothers? After years of observation and analysis, Gao Jun found two main reasons: first, most Chinese players, especially technical players, were afraid of grabbing, so it was difficult to display excellent skills in training and informal competitions in more intense official competitions; The second is the lack of self-confidence of Chinese players, the more formal the game, the stronger the opponent, the worse their historical record, the more they dare not make moves in the game, only dare to make the most conservative choice, naturally it seems that the technology is mediocre, and the huge psychological pressure makes it difficult for most Chinese players to swing normally, and even guide zhì technical deformation, low-level mistakes, especially when the opponent strengthens the pressing, so the image of "Chinese rough brother" is formed

The problem of fear of forcing cannot be completely solved in theory, because even Barcelona during the Cosmos team will be unable to withstand the same or higher level of pressing. In this regard, as long as the level of Chinese football is improved, and at the same time the intensity of the league is increased, it can be improved in a certain way, but this will take a long time, and it is not something that a young player like Gao Jun can influence. Therefore, Gao Jun is more concerned about improving the self-confidence of Chinese players, especially the last batch of good seedlings before this dark age

When he was the head coach of the national team, Gao Jun once asked Manchester United's Alex Ferguson, "In a team, how to cultivate the self-confidence of players, especially young players?" ”

"Victory. In the world of football, there is no other way, only a win can boost confidence, and no matter how many games are lost, a timely victory can boost the morale of the players. This was Ferguson's advice back then, but it was not easy for Gao Jun to put it into practice now

At the beginning, Gao Jun tried to let the national football team play more warm-up games to improve self-confidence, because even if the team is stronger than himself in the warm-up game, it will generally not be fully committed, so that the national football team that goes all out has the hope of defeating the strong team that is stronger than itself, so as to improve self-confidence. However, when it came to official matches such as the Asian Cup, the false self-confidence cultivated by low-intensity warm-up matches was easily shattered, which made Gao Jun realize that the self-confidence of players in official matches can only be sharpened through official matches after all.

But this creates a dead knot, winning to boost self-confidence, but how can a team that lacks self-confidence often beat stronger opponents than itself until consecutive wins boost self-confidence? So this problem is back to the starting point, after all, the player still has to have the strength first, and then there will be self-confidence, and then form a virtuous circle, if you want to achieve it in reverse, but it is not easy, at least for Gao Jun, who was a coach at the time, it is not easy to do, you must know that under the premise that both coaches are qualified (and also suitable for the team), no matter how good the head coach is to improve the team's combat effectiveness, it is only one or two percent, but this problem is solved after Gao Jun crosses and becomes a player again
