After winning the Asian Youth Championship, Gao Jun, Yu Hai, Hao Junmin, Zhou Huakai, and Zhao Yijiao, the five internationals, immediately flew to Kuwait overnight to join the national team.

The collision between the Asian Youth Championship and the World Preliminaries has not happened before, but in the past, at most, 1-2 people in each age group could become international players before the age of 2O, so it was generally the national youth team that gave in, but 5 of the so-called "O8 stars" have entered Alihan's national team list, and if the national youth team still makes sacrifices as before, the World Youth Championships next year will be in danger of being out. Due to China's special national conditions, the importance of the Olympic Games in the eyes of the leaders has always been greater than that of the World Cup, especially when the O8 Olympics is still held in China, and it cannot be ashamed, so although Alihan is very dissatisfied, he finally had to agree to let the five people help the national youth team finish the Asian Youth Championship and then fly directly to Kuwait to join the national team.

Of course, the leaders of the Football Association and the Football Management Center are not trying to give up the World Preliminaries, and they have made such a trade-off, largely because they think that there will be no accidents in the away game against Kuwait on January 13, because the national football team has always been very "defeated" a traditional West Asian team like Kuwait, even if it is away, the Chinese team has not lost for more than ten years.

What's more, because the Chinese team has won Kuwait at home before, and is currently 3 points ahead of Kuwait in points, according to the competition rules of the Asian group stage of the World Preliminary Championship (Note 1), the Chinese team only needs to draw Kuwait away to get a ticket to the quarterfinals in advance. Therefore, the leaders think that Gao Jun and Yu Hai, who have only become the main force in the Asian Cup, will not be able to play will not hinder the qualification of the national football team in the World Preliminary Tournament too much, and the impact of the other three is even smaller, in fact, Alihan himself also thinks so, so he only expressed his dissatisfaction, but finally agreed to the leader's arrangement.

But even so, on the day of the game, Alihan still asked Gao Jun if he could play the whole game, and Gao Jun replied, "If you don't need to participate in defense and pull too much off the ball, you can." Alihan frowned when he heard this, but finally gritted his teeth and put Gao Jun into the lineup

Now the most important player in the national football team's backline, Zheng Zhihong, is suspended, so Alihan has to let Li Datou and Zhang Yaokun partner in the back, but in Gao Jun's view, these two are strong frontal defense, but the type of turn and chase is slow, and Alihan's style of play advocates oppressive ball control offense, and there is a lot of space behind him, which is an obvious huge hidden danger. Of course, having said that, it is rare to have an excellent central defender who turns around and chases back quickly, and Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting are the two who can meet the requirements of the national team in China.

"Actually, it's not completely out of the cracks." When Gao Jun came on the field, he deliberately whispered a few words to right-back Sun Jihai, asking him to reduce the number of assists, and make up for the two central defenders when necessary, so as to make up for the lack of turning and chasing back between the two. Speaking of which, thanks to Sun Jihai and Alihan during the Asian Cup, if the Chinese team played the original two full-backs, they would have enough, but the lack of defensive ability made them unable to bear this heavy responsibility.

It is said that Sun Jihai has not yet transformed into a "ball bully" in the future, and Gao Jun's performance in the Asian Cup has fully proved his strength, coupled with the support of the head coach and the spiritual leader of the national team, Hao Dacang, Gao Jun said more politely, and he can still listen to it.

At this time, Liu Jianhong, the commentator of CCTV5 programs, stared at Alihan's use of troops and sprayed wildly, "Although Xu Yunlong was born as a striker, and later became one of the best defenders in China, it does not mean that he can play a good midfielder. ”

Gao Jun understood Alihan's intentions, he should want to use Xu Yunlong's excellent physical qualities and tackling ability to strengthen the hardness of the midfield, and at the same time disrupt the rhythm of the Kuwait team's possession. In fact, Gao Jun also implemented a similar strategy when he was a coach, when he coached the Guizhou team, there was no suitable candidate for the forward position, so he arranged Yu Hai, who had been playing on the side and had almost no organizational ability, to this position, using his domestic first-class interception ability to interfere with the opponent's organization, and also obtained a lot of opportunities to break the ball in the front court and counterattack on the spot, and achieved good results. Of course, this strategy can only be used as a surprise soldier and cannot be used for a long time, but Alihan was sprayed by Liu Jianhong after doing this, and the latter is really ignorant and fearless!

Of course, Gao Jun, who was on the court at this time, could not hear Liu Jianhong's explanation, and as soon as the referee's whistle sounded, all his spirit was put into the game. To his delight, the start of the game seemed to be relatively smooth. At the beginning of the game, Shao Jiayi won a free kick on the right side of the penalty area, but his curling ball flew out of the outer edge of the corner. Then the Chinese team got another corner kick opportunity, but it failed to form a threat, and the Kuwait team also stepped up the offensive and was more lethal than the Chinese team's attack, but the Chinese team's goalkeeper Liu Yunfei showed his courage and defused them one by one.

In the 8th minute, the Chinese team instigated a very high-quality attack, the left side of the front field broke the ball and then quickly crossed, Xu Yunlong returned the ball in front of the penalty area, Gao Jun touched the ball and sent it directly to the ribs without adjustment, so that Hao Cannon, who was inserted in time, had the opportunity to face the goalkeeper directly, but unfortunately he slid through the goal with a shot. Alihan was very sorry when he saw this scene, and he became more and more worried about Hao Cannon's state.

After a period of time, the Chinese team strengthened the interception in the midfield, and successfully broke the ball many times to form counterattack opportunities, but because the pass of his teammates was either a high ball or far away from the penalty area, and he was closely guarded by the Kuwait team, Gao Jun did not get a good opportunity to shoot directly. Although Kuwait's offensive has been strengthened, it has never been able to break Liu Yunfei's ten fingers, and it must be admitted that although Liu Yunfei is not tall, he is definitely the best goalkeeper in China before he became addicted to drugs and destroyed his future.

Note 1: The rule at that time was to compare the points first, and then compare the relationship between the two sides if the score was the same, so even if the Chinese team lost the last game and the Kuwait team won, the total points of the two sides were the same, and the Chinese team would qualify because the two games against Kuwait were 1 win and 1 draw.
