Thanks to the book friend "sky, bookworm" for the reward, ask for recommendation votes and member clicks ^_^

As the opponent of this life-and-death battle, the Japanese team is undoubtedly the most disappointed after the game, and the pre-match qualifying shì was the best, but after this game, it suddenly fell to third place, and had to compete with the third-place Bahrain team in the other group for a chance to participate in the play-offs, this gap is too big. The Japanese team, which once thought that it had already gotten rid of "Sinophobia", was defeated by the Chinese team three times in just one year, and this one was a two-goal defeat with the help of the "partial whistle" (the Japanese believe that it was just a partial whistle), which was a big blow to the Japanese football world. Even Saburo Kawabuchi, the chief designer of the roadmap for the revival of Japanese football, began to waver a little, and did he really have a problem with the technical flow route he advocated at the beginning?

Saburo Kawabuchi, who was a little hesitant in his heart, talked about it with his friend Takeshi Okada, who was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly persuaded him, "Our team actually didn't play badly in this game, whether it was the possession rate, the number of shots on goal or the number of times it was scored into the 3o meter area of the front court, it was obviously superior, but it was only because our ability to grasp the opportunity was too poor, or the Chinese team's offensive efficiency was too high to lose the game." How can you give up so many years of hard work because of the victory or defeat of so many games? If you're still feeling a lack of confidence, I think you can ask Gao Jun of the Chinese team, after all, enemies often know you better than friends. ”

"Will he say?" After all, although the relationship between the football circles of China and Japan has always been good, with the rapid expansion of the right-wing power of the Japanese government, the relationship between the Chinese and Japanese governments has begun to deteriorate rapidly, and the two countries (not only the Chinese have become more and more anti-Japanese in recent years, but the Japanese people have also become more and more ** under the guidance of the right-wing government. The people's hatred of each other has also risen rapidly, and young players like Gao Jun will inevitably not be affected.

"Although I haven't had any contact with Gao Jun, judging from the deeds I've heard, I shouldn't be too narrow-minded. And the Chinese have a good face, if Chuan Yuanjun you can go in person, the hope of success is even greater, at least the Chinese Football Association will definitely persuade Gao Jun to agree to meet with you, as for what he said is true or false, I believe that Chuan Yuanjun you have this ability to discriminate. ", Takeshi Okada said seriously.

"Let me think about it." Although the Japanese do not have the same good face as the Chinese, as the helmsman of Japanese football, Saburo Kawabuchi is still a little worried that Gao Jun will be young and frivolous and humiliate himself by hitting the face of Japanese football in front of him, so he failed to make a decision quickly, but talked to Takeshi Okada about another matter.

"You want me to be the head coach of the national team?" , Takeshi Okada's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood Saburo Kawabuchi's purpose, now that Osim is leading the team to play like this, he must be out of class, but it is not easy to find a head coach who can quickly take over the Japanese team, and he can only find someone to put out the fire among the local coaches who are more familiar with Japanese football, and Takeshi Okada is the best coach in the Mesozoic generation of the Japanese team, and he has a good relationship with himself, so he is undoubtedly the best candidate.

It stands to reason that there is not much time left between the play-offs between the two third-placed groups in the quarterfinals, and it seems that it is not suitable for a change of players, but in order to restore the morale of the Japanese team quickly, and in order to divert the pressure of public opinion on himself and the Football Association, Saburo Kawabuchi needs to find a scapegoat, and the best candidate is the head coach Osim, because it is much more convenient to change the coach than the player.

If Osim is allowed to continue to lead the team to play in the play-offs and loses, the responsibility will definitely fall on Saburo Kawabuchi, who keeps him in office; And even if he wins, it is not a good thing, because at that time the Japanese Football Association did not have a good reason to fire Osim.

Besides, the play-offs will not start until the beginning of January, and there will be almost two months in between, which may not be enough for foreign coaches, but for local coach Takeshi Okada, at least it should not be a big problem to pass, after all, the opponent of the Asian play-offs is Bahrain, and the Japanese team is still relatively sure of playing them. Therefore, Saburo Kawabuchi chose to terminate the contract with Osim immediately and replace the Japanese national team with a new head coach, although it seems risky, but it is relatively the best option.

After the defeat in the 1998 World Cup, Takeshi Okada has always wanted to return to the national team to prove himself, but Japanese football, like Chinese football, also has the problem of admiring foreign countries, as a local coach, he can not get more support than foreign coaches, especially when the short-term results are not good, he will definitely be more likely to be questioned than foreign coaches. Therefore, although Takeshi Okada accepted Saburo Kawabuchi's invitation, he also put forward two prerequisites, that is, as long as the World Cup is not out, no matter how ugly the game process or score is, Saburo Kawabuchi must support him to the greatest extent, and Takeshi Okada also requires full power to determine the national team training list and the final lineup, the Football Association must not interfere, and must also help him withstand the doubts of public opinion.

Saburo Kawabuchi frowned slightly after hearing this, but he knew Okada's personality well and understood that these two conditions were not negotiable, so he finally gritted his teeth and agreed, and after confirming the new coach of the Japanese national team, he finally let go of the biggest boulder in his heart. After thinking about it all night, Saburo Kawabuchi finally made up his mind to find the Football Association officials accompanying the Chinese team before the Chinese team left Japan, hoping to visit Gao Jun in person, which was the best reason he could come up with to damage the face of Japanese football.

Although the achievements of Chinese football have improved by leaps and bounds in the past two years, so that many officials of the Football Association feel that it is no longer necessary to learn from Japan, but Japan's football promotion and commercial development can still break out a few streets of Chinese football. Therefore, for Saburo Kawabuchi, who is a man of his word in Japanese football, the official of the Chinese Football Association was quite polite and readily agreed to his request.

When Saburo Kawabuchi visited, Gao Jun was resting, due to the limited time to deal with the injury after the injury, the wound was not stitched very well, so Gao Jun was immediately sent to the hospital to re-stitch the wound after being replaced, and he did not even participate in the press conference after the game. Even after Saburo Kawabuchi visited, he only bowed slightly and did not get out of bed

Note 1: In addition to the consumption of the body, after the special state in the game disappears, Gao Jun's spirit will also feel extremely tired, which is also the second defect of his current state, fortunately, the mental exhaustion only needs to sleep well to roughly recover.
