Although the Italian Super Cup was not played until after the end of the Olympic Games, because the interval was so short, even if Gao Jun flew to Italy immediately after the Olympic Games, it was difficult for him to participate in the competition immediately after the exhaustion. Therefore, Mourinho generously said before the Olympics that Gao Jun could return to the team a few days later, so Gao Jun not only launched the "Chinese Football Take-off Plan" determined before the game, but also participated in some important celebrations rarely, and even had leisure to watch a few Olympic games in other sports.

However, in the past two years, Mourinho's Olympics have been a good time, even if Gao Jun did not participate in the battle, Inter Milan still beat Roma in a penalty shootout to win the Italian Super Cup, and Gao Jun won a championship before he played a game against Inter Milan, which made him happy, but also initially felt the heritage of the giants

For Gao Jun's arrival, his teammates recognized it, after all, Gao Jun had been in a series of games before, and even a second commodity like Balotelli was convinced after seeing Gao Jun's magic skills of hitting the crossbar with continuous shots from the penalty spot in training. However, the Inter Milan fans were not so friendly to him because Gao Jun squeezed out Ibrahimovic, whom they liked very much.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the xenophobia, racism and arrogance of the Italians, who do not take Gao Jun, a Chinese player, into account of the achievements and honors achieved by the Chinese player in the Dresden Dynamo team, and they do not take seriously the Olympics and the younger youth competitions, which Europeans generally do not pay much attention to. If Gao Jun wants to conquer Inter Milan's fans, he must surpass Ibrahimovic in Serie A and the Champions League, the two most recognized competitions.

However, Gao Jun was only questioned at most because of his seemingly high value, and his situation was much better than Mourinho, who had fought with the Italian media and even many fans when he first came to Inter. But then again, it is precisely because of the MT of Mourinho that the hatred is pulled. Gao Jun was able to play football with peace of mind without too much interference

Due to some activities after the Olympics and the fatigue of flying thousands of miles, even if Gao Jun's physical fitness is now the world's top, it is difficult to completely eliminate fatigue quickly, and he missed the important pre-season training, so Mourinho did not start immediately after Gao Jun's return to the team, until the opponent equalized in the first Serie A game away to Sampdoria. Mourinho only remembered Gao Jun on the bench.

However, due to the lack of tacit understanding with his teammates, although Gao Jun ran some gaps in the game, his teammates were not able to pass the ball in time. Gao Jun had no choice but to retreat to take the ball to attack by himself, but in the face of the chain defense of Italian football and the home whistle that is too lenient in the penalty scale for defensive actions, Gao Jun, who is not known for his assault ability, could not play at all without the favorable support of his teammates, and Inter Milan could only regretfully accept the result of being forced to draw in the first Serie A game of the new season.

The poor performance in the first game made the Italian media, which was already prejudiced against Gao Jun, start to make a big fuss, and those fans who already disliked Gao Jun also said that it was a big mistake for Inter to sell Ibrahimovic to buy Gao Jun.

But the most important thing for the players is what the manager says about himself. And Mourinho knows very well that Gao Jun has only been in the team for two days to participate in training, so he will naturally not be harsh, and although he has not been on the court for a long time, Gao Jun still completed his basic duties of "defensive striker" with his active running and scrambling, which is even more important than Gao Jun's goal in the eyes of Mourinho, who attaches importance to tactical discipline and players' attitude to the game, so even if Gao Jun's table is considered sorry by Italian media fans, Mourinho still trusts Gao Jun very much. He was very annoyed by the call-up of the Chinese national team, but the game time was a FIFA match day. Even if he wants to stay, it is impossible, and September 6 is the first match of the 2010 South Africa World Cup Qualifiers Asian Top 10, or away to challenge the biggest opponent in the same group - the old enemy Iran team, Gao Jun, who has long thought of revenge, will participate in it no matter what

Because the national football team has always been afraid of the Iranian team, and the last time the world preliminaries were also killed by the opponent, this game was held at the Azadi Stadium, which is known as the home of the devil. Therefore, everyone was not very confident before the game, and even at this time, the leaders of the Chinese Football Association, who did not know that the second anti-gambling and anti-crime storm was about to be set off, did not add to the chaos. But what few people thought was that the Iranian team, which has always been difficult to beat, was beaten by the Chinese national team formed with the Olympic champion as the main team, not only losing three goals on its home turf, but also unable to break through the Chinese team's impregnable defense. It can be said that it was a complete defeat, which is the first time in the history of Iranian football, and the new head coach of the Chinese team, Stano, has quickly won the recognition of the majority of Chinese fans

That's right, this Stano is the Serbian who led the Dresden Dynamo team to the first division, but finally quit halfway because of lack of experience and qualifications, although his coaching experience in Germany is a bit anticlimactic, but he has a pretty good resume in Serbian football, especially he is still so young, so he soon received an invitation to be hired as the head coach of the Serbian domestic giant partizan team, and he returned to a more familiar environment and fully showed his talent, not only led the team to win the domestic league championship, but also caused a big upset in the Champions League with his good anti-counter tactics.

At the same time, although the Chinese Football Association let Krauchen concurrently serve as the head coach of the national Olympic team for the sake of the Beijing Olympics, the old man is old after all, and when he signed the contract, he had already stated in advance that he would resign and retire after the Olympics, so he began to look for a candidate for the next head coach of the national team. At that time, the relationship between Gao Jun and the Football Association had not deteriorated, and the senior management of the Football Association heard him say that Stano was a very good-natured person and took care of the overall situation, and he would not trouble his employer if he was unilaterally broken. So Stano did not renew his contract after the expiration of his contract with the Guerrillas, but came to China to coach the national team that he thought had the hope of playing well in the 2010 World Cup, but what Stano, an honest man, did not expect was that at this time, Gao Jun had already turned his face with the Football Association, and he naturally became the target of exclusion, plus the schedule of the Olympic Games and the top ten matches was very close, so that after he took over the team, he didn't have time to inspect the players, and he didn't even have time to arrange a warm-up game. Directly lead the team to play in the top 10 is likely to be the most crucial game

Many people did not expect that such a game could be won so easily, but in fact, this is largely thanks to the fact that Stano had brought several Chinese internationals before, and he had seen a lot of videos before coming to China, and was not as ignorant as most new football managers. Another point is that the pragmatic Stano did not immediately transplant his own tactical play, but directly followed the tactical system of the boys in the Olympic Games, and the main force of the current national football team is basically from the "Oriental Department", and there is no problem with tacit understanding, so there was no confusion in the game because of the change of generals.

However, Stano did not do nothing, in fact, this game was able to win so happily, Stano asked everyone to properly recycle the formation before the game, and the strategy of focusing on defensive counterattacks played a great role. Although the Iranian team's offense is strong, it depends too much on the individual ability of the players, as long as the Chinese team tightens the fence, it is not easy for the opponent to score, and the Iranian team's back line has a lot of problems, with the speed of the Chinese team's frontcourt trident and the ability to grasp the opportunity, as long as the rapid counterattack is played, it is easy to blow it up, and the facts have proved this

But the result of this game is because the current national football team has obviously surpassed the Iranian team, so even if the style of play is still overcome, it can still beat the opponent away, which is impossible for the Chinese team to do a few years ago. And what makes Gao Jun, the core of the team, even more pleased, is that this national football team still has a lot of potential to tap, "In two years, when Xiao Xie and Wuqiu Wang have matured, maybe we can really go to the finals of the World Cup to play well!" ”

It is indeed a good thing to be able to beat the strongest opponent away in the first game of the top ten, but running back and forth between Europe and Asia has also made Gao Jun's physical fitness a great test, and fortunately this is an away game in the Middle East, if it is to play back to China, the flight distance is much longer, even if Gao Jun's physical fitness is good, it is estimated that he will definitely have to miss his second Serie A game

In fact, even if Gao Jun is fit enough to compete, Mourinho decided to put him on the bench for the time being, considering that there is an even more important Champions League game to play in two days. As a result, Gao Jun's second Serie A game was still a substitute, and it was not long, and his only eye-catching table was to use a return after taking the ball with his back in the penalty area, and Stankovic who was inserted from behind scored from a distance, which can be regarded as an assist, which can only be said to be a little improved from the table xiàn in the previous game. Therefore, although Inter Milan finally won the game 2:1, most of the media and fans were very dissatisfied, especially the coach Mourinho and the team paid a sky-high price to buy Gao Jun became the target of public criticism (to be continued......
