Although the Chinese reporters were very satisfied with and praised Gao Hongbo's starting arrangement, and were full of confidence in the national team. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But things didn't go the way Chinese journalists had hoped.

The Chinese team, playing away from home, did try to go head-to-head with the Japanese team, and under the instigation of Zhou Yi, the Chinese team launched several attacks on the Japanese team's penalty area, but none of them really threatened the goal guarded by the Japanese team's goalkeeper Kawashima Eiji.

However, the Japanese team's attack was more threatening than the Chinese team, allowing the Chinese team's goalkeeper Zeng Cheng to make two saves, which caused the Chinese fans in the stands to exclaim again and again.

Then the initiative of the game fell to the Japanese team.

The Chinese team can only defend more often, while the Japanese team has strengthened its offensive, and for a time the Chinese team is in danger in front of the goal.

Even the commentator Liu Hong said: "During this time, the Chinese team was very nervous in front of the goal! The Japanese team's offensive was very fast! Shinji Kagawa shot the goal...... Be careful!"

Thankfully, it was a shot that went wide of the goal.

But from this goal, you can also see the situation of the Chinese team.

This scene makes many Chinese fans very puzzled - the same team, lacking the core Zhou Yi in the Asian Cup final, can play very tenaciously in the face of Japan, why is the Chinese team playing so embarrassed in the face of Japan now?

The television broadcast gave a close-up of Gao Hongbo, the head coach of the Chinese team on the sidelines, sitting in a chair in the coach's box, without saying a word and with a serious expression. Faced with the situation that the Chinese team is now being pressed and beaten, he did not stand up in a hurry and commanded the game on the sidelines.

In fact, many people are surprised by one thing.

It stands to reason that the Chinese team won the runner-up in the Asian Cup, and the performance was very good, which greatly surprised everyone, after all, they only went to "practice" before the game. Then in the top ten, also achieved two consecutive wins, for the national football team, this is a very good performance, after the experience of the Asian Cup, the national team should have run in almost, it is the time to produce results, why at this time, Gao Hongbo suddenly recruited five players who had never been selected for the national team before?

You must know that this is a match between the top ten and the Japanese team, not a friendly match, so that he can inspect the newcomers. No coach would ever recruit or activate a lot of new players before such a competition.

That's why the Chinese media think Gao Hongbo's approach is problematic and don't understand why Gao Hongbo did it.

But in fact, after the Chinese team's home game against Oman, Gao Hongbo was seriously considering the issue of changing blood. So he flew to London to watch the Chinese Olympic team play and watched all six games.

His views are different from those of the media and the fans.

He doesn't think the national team that won the Asian Cup runners-up is solid, he doesn't think there is anything that can't be adjusted, and the World Cup qualifiers are a long process, from June 2012 to June 2013, a whole year. If we are going to play the Asian play-offs, there are two more games in September next year.

In this process, it is normal for anyone who is not in good shape to be taken out of the national team lineup.

As for why five players who have never been selected for the national team were recruited in one go, it is also very simple. In the match against Oman, Gao Hongbo found that the national team's "Zhou Yi dependence" was becoming more and more serious.

It's not that relying on Zhou Yi is bad, Zhou Yi is the core of the team, and he should take on more responsibilities. But football is a team sport after all, and you can't go far by relying on one person. And no matter how good Zhou Yi is, he is also a midfield organizer, he needs people to complete the attack he organizes, and someone needs someone to protect him. If his teammates don't perform well enough, even if he tries his best, he can only play hard, win thrilling, and even try his best.

In order to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the Chinese team must finish the top two in the group, and the third place will have to go to the play-offs, and after the Asian play-offs, they will have to play South America, which is not a good thing for the Chinese team.

After the game, Gao Hongbo and the coaching staff reviewed and analyzed, and everyone came to a unanimous opinion, that is, this team relied too much on Zhou Yi, and played more and more brainlessly, and did not work hard enough. They think that Zhou Yi will solve any problems anyway, so they can't take out the spirit of fighting bayonets at a critical time, and once that breath is vented, it will be difficult to bring it up again.

Some national team players relaxed their requirements for themselves after the Asian Cup, and their training attitude was not serious enough, thinking that they had secured their position in the national team. There are also some national team players who are gradually unable to play because of things in the club, and their game condition is worrying, and their physical condition is not as good as during the Asian Cup. In addition, some people are unable to cope with higher requirements because of their own strength......

No matter how you train, it is difficult for the team's strength to improve and meet the requirements for him, which may be the so-called "bottleneck".

These are the inducements that make Gao Hongbo plan to change blood for the national team.

In the end, the reason for Gao Hongbo's decisive decision was the outstanding performance of the national Olympic team in London, where he saw a team full of vigor and many capable players.

If Sun Pan hadn't been injured, in fact, there would have been as many as six newcomers who would have been recruited into the national team in one go.

Zhou Yi's personal ability is very good, but as the core of the organization, no matter how good he is, he needs to have equally excellent teammates to cooperate with him, otherwise his passing intentions will not be understood, and the wonderful passes he passes will be wasted...... That's not going to work.

In Gao Hongbo's view, some people in this national team can no longer keep up with the rhythm of Zhou Yi and cannot meet their own requirements, although they may be old qualified international players, but it is irresponsible for the team to let them continue to stay in the national team. So it is necessary to exchange transfusions.

It may be a bit cruel, but if the loss is a cup qualifier, and the players can continue to go back to the club to eat and drink, Gao Hongbo, the head coach, will take the blame and resign, be scolded by 10,000 people, and bear the main responsibility for being eliminated. If he doesn't, he's being cruel to himself.

So although he may offend a group of people by doing so, it is understandable for the benefit of more people.

Of course, the experience in the Changchun team still gave him a lesson, that is, the change of blood should not be done too suddenly, and everyone should have a time and opportunity to accept in their hearts, and they must take advantage of the situation. This is a must-have means for people who do big things.

He knew that there would definitely be people within the national team who were puzzled and dissatisfied with the players he had recruited into the national Olympic team, and it didn't matter, and he didn't intend to explain it, because football itself would teach them to recognize themselves. If someone can't do it, if he says it and no one believes it, then let football tell everyone. In this way, no matter how much he moves, there will not be so much resistance.

※※※

Zhou Yi concentrates on the game on the field, he doesn't have as many ideas as head coach Gao Hongbo, no matter who his teammates are around him, he insists on playing his own football, and the goal is to help the team win, no matter what the strength of the opponent is.

However, he can indeed feel the pressure that the Japanese team brings to the Chinese team.

It stands to reason that the strength of the national team should be higher than that of the national Olympic team, but after playing in an Olympic Games, Zhou Yi has a different feeling. He feels that he is a little more comfortable playing in the Olympic team than he is in the national team now. He speculated that this might have something to do with having more teammates he was familiar with in the National Olympic team, after all, Sun Pan, He Ying, Guo Nu and Yang Muge were teammates who played together for a long time.

During this time, the Chinese team was pressed in his own half, and Zhou Yi did not have much room to play, and in the attack, he could only use long passes to create some opportunities for He Ying in front.

But it was not easy for He Ying to face the Japanese team's backline alone. And He Ying's own condition is not good, his rhythm and feeling after taking the ball are not as good as when he was in the National Olympic team.

Even the commentator Liu Hong saw this, Zhou Yi passed three long passes to He Ying, and He Ying didn't stop at the first time twice, and the extra adjustment made him delay more time, and also gave the Japanese team defenders time to surround him.

Why is this happening?

Liu Hong believes that it was fatigue and the nervousness of playing in the national team for the first time that caused He Ying's performance to be unsatisfactory.

But this is not very convincing, at least the first reason does not make sense, thinking that the team was assembled ten days ago, how can it be possible to be tired after ten days of travel?

In fact, there is a reason I don't know if it was deliberately ignored. That is, He Ying didn't play a game in Barcelona this season, and he didn't even enter the squad for three consecutive rounds, because of the lack of games, he couldn't maintain his condition, and it was difficult to find the feeling of the game for a while. You must know that this national team match is He Ying's first official game after the Olympic Games, and it is strange that he can be in good shape.

It's just that if you want to blame He Ying's bad state on his stay in Barcelona, everyone really doesn't want to admit it, they still want to see He Ying survive in Barcelona.

Every Chinese fan has a dream of a giant in his heart, and hopes that there will be a place for our Chinese players in the starting lineup of the real European giants. (To be continued.) )
