Since the change of coach of the national football team, and more importantly, the news that Pan Yi joined the coaching staff has been confirmed, every move of the national football team has affected the hearts of the whole country.

Even a training session at Kunming Tuodong Stadium to adapt to the venue has attracted huge attention from domestic fans.

Whether it is formal media or self-media, they are competing to spread it, and it has also aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet.

"This team looks like they're in a good state of mind!"

"With Pan Yi's team, my self-confidence will be much higher than before."

"Lippi's coaching team is also very good, this training mode seems to have never been seen in the national football team before."

"Countless facts have proven that good coaches can take the team's skills and tactics to the next level. It depends on Lippi and Pan Yi's transformation of the national football team! ”

However, although the fans expressed their appreciation for the training performance of the national football team, everyone was very worried about the next life-and-death battle.

The national football team has lost two in a row.

If you can't win against Syria and you can't win against Uzbekistan, can you win against Qatar?

The Dragon Nation team can't even afford to draw.

In the fourth round of Group A, there was a big match, that is, South Korea and Iran, who were both unbeaten with two wins and one draw, played a head-to-head match, and this was almost the key battle that could determine the first place in the group.

And in this battle, the Iranian team had the last laugh.

With the only goal of striker Azmoun, who plays for the Russian Premier League, Iran beat South Korea 1-0.

After this victory, Iran also topped Group A with 10 points, while South Korea could only settle for second place with 7 points.

As a team with only one point, the dragon team has only played four games now, and it is already 6 points away from South Korea, which is in second place!

Therefore, this game really has to be won, otherwise the points will only be pulled bigger and bigger.

But can Dragon Kingdom really win?

Every fan who cares about the national football team is worried.

They are also worried about whether the national team coached by Lippi will repeat the mistakes of the year, and whether there will be another tragedy of falling off the chain in front of Qatar at a critical moment?

Dragon country fans don't dare to place too much hope on the national team, and they don't dare to give too much confidence because they are afraid.

Shortly after the training session, head coach Lippi and captain Zheng Zhi attended the pre-match press conference, and in an interview with the media, he said that the goal of this game is three points.

"I've never seen so many reporters when I was coaching Hengtai, thank you for your support."

"It was a very difficult task to lead the Dragons to the finals of the World Cup, not only in terms of technique and tactics, but more importantly in terms of self-confidence. However, I still hope that we can do a miracle to reach the World Cup! ”

"I believe that the strength of the national team is to propose beautiful football, we have good defenders, midfielders, forwards, the strength of our team does not match the current results, our team has quality. Our goal is simple, to get three points from tomorrow's game. ”

A reporter asked: "The current situation of the Dragon Country team is very serious, is the team under pressure now?" ”

Lippi said: "There is pressure on both sides, the Dragons are last in the group, the situation is very difficult, but there is theoretically hope of qualifying. We want to try to get points, we want to qualify, and if we don't, I want the team to improve. ”

The reporter asked: "Do the players really understand your technical and tactical play?" ”

Lippi replied: "All the players worked very hard and the training was very fruitful. Speaking of which, I would like to give special thanks to my technical advisor, Pan Yi, for helping me develop a lot of detailed tactics. I know his strength very well, and I'm sure everyone here knows it too. It is my pleasure that he is willing to be my advisor and I will trust him unconditionally. ”

At this time, the reporter asked the captain Zheng Zhi: "Some people say that players only play 40% of their strength in the national team, and Pan Yi has a way to solve this problem?" What kind of form does he bring to the players? ”

Zheng Zhi said: "Pan Yi not only helped us technically and tactically, but more importantly, gave us confidence. The pressure on our players is higher in the national team, the international game is more important than the club, we represent the national team and we need to turn the pressure of the game into motivation. This is the key issue we discussed on the first day of our meeting after Coach Lippi came to the team, and it is also the place where Coach Pan Yi often enlightens us, which is to let us relax and enjoy the game. ”

At the end, the captain of the national football team once again expressed his determination: "We have the strength to come up with beautiful football, we need to show confidence, courage and determination. As long as we do this, we can definitely beat our opponents! ”

Lippi and Zheng Zhi's pre-match remarks were also recognized by domestic fans.

Everyone hopes that the national football team can do their best and leave no regrets.

And the remarks of the two of them about Pan Yi in the interview also attracted a lot of attention and curiosity.

Obviously, Pan Yi has played a very important role in this national team.

So, can he really continue his spell at Chelsea and Sweden? What are the specific tactics he has developed for the national football team?

After several days of reports and attention, tonight, fans from all over the country have set their eyes on Kunming Tuodong Stadium.

When the time for the game approached, the stadium was not only crowded and full, but also gathered outside the stadium with countless fans who came to the scene but could not buy tickets to enter.

In such a situation, it is difficult to buy even scalper tickets!

——

Kunming Tuodong Stadium, home team locker room.

At this time, the head coach Lippi has already got the starting list for this game in Qatar.

Members of the coaching staff, including Pan Yi, all gathered together to look at the list.

Although Pan Yi is nominally only Lippi's "personal adviser", the Football Association has prepared official work documents for him, and allows him to enter and exit the locker room and the stadium like other assistant coaches.

If you don't, you'll be blown away by the angry fans!

Unexpectedly, Qatar continued to use the same 4-5-1 formation they had in their last game against Syria.

They defeated Syria 1-0 with such a formation, and naturally they also wanted to do the same, and wanted to use it to defeat the Dragon Nation team defeated by Syria.

"Although this Qatari team does not have stars like Son Heung-min and Azmoun, their defenders in the midfield are very aggressive, the pace of pressing and pressing is fast, and they are very physical, which will be a big test for us."

"I told you before the game, that after the opening we had to attack and disrupt the opponent's rhythm from the start. The defense line must be pressed, and the three lines from front to back must put enough pressure on the opponent, and I must press them down to the death, and do not give the opponent the slightest respite. ”

Everyone in the locker room looked at Lippi with a serious look on their faces and nodded solemnly.

These are all things that Lippi and the coaching staff have repeatedly told before the game.

"Guys, I don't need to say more about the importance of tonight's game."

After Lippi emphasized the final tactical requirements, Pan Yi began to make the final mobilization before going on the field.

This is also what Lippi requested, and it is also an important job for Pan Yi in this national team.

Because although Lippi's coaching staff is professional, after all, they are all Italians and do not understand Chinese!

No matter how passionate and reasonable it is, after the translation changes hands, the taste will definitely not be pure.

But Pan Yi is different.

He is a native of the Dragon Country, and he is a world-famous football psychology master, and there is no better place for him to be a dresser room lecturer!

And he now understands that although he wants the players to take off the pressure and prepare for the game in his usual training, he still needs to let everyone focus on such a crucial game.

It's not okay to have too much pressure, and it's not okay to have no pressure at all, that's a well-established fact in competitive sports.

And Pan Yi is a master, that is, he can keep the players' nervousness of the game at an appropriate level.

"If we can't win tonight's game, then our impact on the 2018 World Cup in Russia is likely to stop, and many players in the team will never have the opportunity to impact the World Cup again."

After hearing Pan Yi's words, many old players, including captain Zheng Zhi, looked a little gloomy.

After a brief splendor in 2002, no player in the current squad has a chance to step onto the big stage of the World Cup.

And for any professional footballer, playing a World Cup is likely to be their lifelong dream.

But unfortunately, as a Dragon Nation player, such a dream seems a bit out of reach.

Four years after that, four years after that, and four years after that.

The Dragon Country football team, even in the Asian qualifiers of the three World Cups in 2006, 2010 and 2014, was eliminated in the first stage!

This time I was able to reach the top 10 stage in 2018, which is actually the best performance in so many sessions!

Such a poor result made the Dragon Country team the target of abuse and ridicule by the Chinese people.

Many people take pleasure in making fun of the national football team, even if it distorts the facts, because there is traffic in this way.

Something like "the men's football team can't play the women's football team", "the Chinese Super League can't play the village super team", "the national football team 0:12 Malaysia", "the stationery store team defeats the national football team" or something, will be uploaded on the Internet, and what the truth is, not many people care.

It's a tragedy, but neither side is innocent in it.

For these so-called "fans", the Longguo men's football team is just a spittoon for them to vent their dissatisfaction, and they spit a mouthful of phlegm when they have nothing to do, as for how many bowls of noodles Liuzi ate, who cares?

As for the national football players, why they fell into such a situation, I believe they also know it in their hearts.

It's not because of the poor record, everyone hates iron and steel!

It's just that this kind of emotion is used by some people to gain eyeballs and exchange traffic.

Now, it's time to die again, whether to continue to be scolded and ridiculed, or to become a hero once a day, starting tonight!

Pan Yi continued to say loudly:

"The scariest thing about tonight's game is not the opponent on the other side of the pitch, it's ourselves."

"You are eager to enter the World Cup and to win, but whether you can really wash away the doubts that fans have had about you in the past ten years or so needs to prove it for yourself in tonight's game."

"I don't want to say a lot of high-sounding things, I'm here just to say to you: tonight, you have to fight for yourselves! Fight for the right name! Fight for the World Cup! ”

Captain Zheng Zhi stood up from his seat and stretched out his hand:

"Everyone, let's do it together!"

At this time, all the national football players also stood up, put their hands on the back of their captain's hand, and then shouted in unison:

"Come on, come on, come on!"

The fighting spirit in the locker room was high for a while!

——

"Audience friends, welcome to today's game."

"We are now broadcasting live from the Tuodong Stadium in Kunming, a match in Group A of the 2018 World Cup in Russia Asian Qualifiers, with the Dragons hosting Qatar."

"The two teams have played each other 16 times in history, and the Dragons have the advantage in overall record with 7 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. However, most of the games won by the Dragons were a long time ago, and the Dragons have won only once in the last five meetings. ”

"Now Group A has played four rounds, and the Dragon Country team has 1 draw and 3 losses without a win, ranking last in the group. The Qatar team is 1-3, and it is only ahead of the Dragons. ”

"It's fair to say that no matter which team it is, they can't afford to lose this game. In their pre-match press conferences, the coaches on both sides shouted the slogan of vowing to win the three points. ”

"Now in the center of the broadcast screen, the starting lineup of the Dragon Country team for this game has been played."

"Lippi has made changes to the starting line-up, and he has also moved away from the 4-4-2 formation of the Gao Hongbo era, and has used the 4-3-3, which is now more popular internationally."

"The goalkeeper is Wang Dalei, the back line is Jiang Zhipeng, Feng Xiaoting, Mei Fang and Zhang Linpeng, the midfielder is captain Zheng Zhi slightly back, Wu Xi and Huang Bowen are in front of him, and the front line is Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning and Lin Liangming."

"Yan Junling, who has been starting since Zeng Cheng's injury, did not play, and was replaced by Wang Dalei from Shandong Luneng, which is still a bit surprising."

"And Lin Liangming, a Yorktown teenager who was selected for the national team for the first time, also appeared directly in the starting lineup, and formed a front trident in Europe with Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning."

"According to the head coach of the national team, Lippi, Pan Yi has made a great contribution to the team's arrangement and specific tactical design, and his influence can also be seen from this starting list."

The 4-3-3 itself was Pan Yi's favorite formation in the early days, and it is often used by York City now, including a winger position like Wu Lei's habit of playing in a three-forward formation when he was in Hamburg. And Lin Liangming himself was recommended by Pan Yi to enter the national team, and now he is also taking on important responsibilities on the front line. ”

"The most obvious is Wang Dalei, a personality goalkeeper who can only serve as a substitute for most of the time in the national team, but he is currently the most suitable scavenger goalkeeper for Pan Yi in the national team. His correction also shows that the focus of the national team today is still on offense. ”

"On the Qatari side, they still use a 4-5-1 formation, and it seems that although they want to win, they still have to base themselves on the defensive counter-attacking tactics that they are good at."

"In the end, whether the offensive formation of the national football team can break the defense of Qatar and what kind of changes will occur in tactics can only wait for the game to start......"

In the commentary of the commentator, the players of the two teams have walked out of the player tunnel one after another under the leadership of the referee team.

The whole stadium burst into wild cheers.

More than 40,000 fans shouted and cheered hoarsely in the stands, forming an overwhelming momentum.

Especially when the members of the coaching staff of the Dragon National Team, especially Pan Yi, walked out of the players' tunnel, the call of the scene reached its peak.

After the players of the two teams stood in a row at the exit of the players' tunnel, the national anthem of the away team Qatar was first sung, and then the national anthem of the home team, the Dragon team.

When the loud March of the Volunteers sounded in the stadium, all the fans in the stadium stood up in unison, and all the coaches and bench personnel of the home team, including Pan Yi, also stood up and sang the national anthem of the Dragon Kingdom with the singing.

And the Italian coaching staff, although they can't sing, are also solemn.

They have also played for the Italian national team and certainly understand what this moment means for a country!

When the uplifting singing voice floated over the stadium, everyone felt a sense of power from this song!

And in the process of singing, many fans couldn't help but burst into tears.

In fact, they can't tell what kind of emotion this is, but in such an atmosphere, they will shed tears!

After the captain Zheng Zhi finished guessing the side, he called all his teammates around him, and the group formed a circle, and everyone folded their hands together again, shouting in unison: "Come on!" Come on! Come on!!! ”

With the shouts of the national football team, thunderous applause sounded in the stands again.

Then, the song rang out again.

This time, it was the "five-star red flag fluttering in the wind......"

The 40,000 national football fans present are inspiring the national football players in the stadium in this way! ——

As soon as the game began, the Dragons launched an onslaught against Qatar.

According to Lippi's pre-match arrangement, the team boldly pressed the backline, led by the front trident, and put pressure on Qatar in unison.

And Qatar also followed the strategy formulated by the coaching staff before the game, coming up and retreating, leaving only a single striker Sebastian Soria in front of him waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Less than a minute into the game, Ryukook had a shot on goal.

Wu Lei broke through on the right side and went down, but because the speed was too fast, there were no teammates in the middle and left to keep up, so Wu Lei cut inside and shot with his left foot, but the power was not enough, and it was easily won by Qatari goalkeeper Al Shib.

"You two, you can directly switch places!" Seeing this, Pan Yi immediately stood up and shouted in Chinese.

This is Pan Yi's biggest advantage again.

Instructions from the dugout can be conveyed to the field as soon as possible, without the need for a translator – who can even make a mistake, as there are many times very specialized vocabulary involved.

In addition, after using Chinese, it is equivalent to "encrypted call", and no matter how loud it is, it is equivalent to being inaudible to Qataris.

And such a winger switch, Pan Yi has already been angry with Lippi, and the old man is of course very supportive.

It's because the Dragon Country team is now the main attacker, and if it's on the side of Shunzu, the firepower on both sides can only converge to the middle in the end, and the firepower point is too single and easy to be prevented.

At this time, if you force an inward cut, you can only shoot with your backfoot, which is obviously not effective.

But if Lin Liangming and Wu Lei are swapped places, it will be just like what Pan Yi said to the two of them before, and they will directly become two sharp knives and go straight into Qatar's ribs!

After hearing Pan Yi's shout, Lin Liangming and Wu Lei both waved to the sidelines, indicating that they heard it, and then they each ran to the other side.

"You can also put a little pressure on both sides, we must try to score early!" Lippi also stood beside Pan Yi and said.

What kind of translation do you need at this time, Pan Yi is the best translator!

Pan Yi nodded, and immediately shouted at the field: "Jiang Zhipeng!" Zhang Linpeng! You all go a little further, take the initiative, take the initiative to ask for the ball! There is also a midfielder, always pay attention to the front insertion! ”

At this time, the dragon national team put on a posture of wanting to eat the opponent in one bite, and all the national football players were also three military lives, actively running.

After Lin Liangming and Wu Lei switched positions, and Jiang Zhipeng and Zhang Linpeng pressed up, the two wings of the Dragon Country team began to exert force.

In the 10th minute, after Lin Liangming took the ball on the right side and cut to the middle, he didn't get a chance, so he passed the ball back to Huang Bowen.

Huang Bowen kicked the ball out and distributed the ball to the side.

Zhang Linpeng quickly stepped forward along the side, and after getting the ball, he made a pass with his right foot and hoisted the ball to the top of the penalty area.

Zhang Yuning grabbed the position at the top of the arc of the penalty area in time, jumped high, rubbed the ball with a header, and pushed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

At this time, Wu Lei suddenly rushed sideways along the front of the penalty area from the left side, stopped the ball that Zhang Yuning had put down to the front, and then shook a shot to throw away the Qatari player who was guarding him, and then cut inside, and his right foot was a direct angry shot!

The ball was like a cannonball, quickly blasting into the Qatari goal.

"The ball is in!!!! Wu Lei has scored!!!! ”

"It's been a fantastic start! Only 10 minutes into the opening game, Wu Lei received Zhang Yuning's header and shot angrily on the left side of the penalty area, piercing the Qatari goal! ”

"The Dragons lead Qatar 1:0!"

In the hoarse shouts of the on-site commentators, all the fans at the scene jumped up and cheered wildly.

After Wu Lei scored a goal, he was hugged by his teammates around him.

After breaking free, Wu Lei immediately rushed to the sidelines, hugged Lippi, and then hugged Pan Yi.

Of course, the bench was cheering.

Everyone knows what an important goal it was!

The opening strategy of the Dragon Country team was successful!

"After today's opening, Wu Lei played as a right winger first, but soon switched to the left. This is definitely a small tactical adjustment deliberately made by the Dragon team, and Qatar obviously did not keep up with the rhythm, resulting in the failure to prevent Wu Lei's internal cut this time. ”

"That's the change that Lippi's coaching staff has brought to the team's tactics. We also saw that Pan Yi was also very active in directing on the sidelines, and the position of the players on the field began to change after his few shouts, and the goal scored after such a change! ”

"On the premise that the national football players have not changed much, they have played a very smooth attack. This shows the importance of a good coach on the game! ”

"Now, all the players and coaches are gathered around and seem to be saying something...... Although we can't hear it, we can see from this scene how united they are! ”

On the sidelines, Pan Yi was shouting loudly to everyone:

"The goal is beautiful, but don't relax, we're going to keep attacking!"

'It's just a goal, it's not enough to make sure we win, understand?'

"Just play like the beginning, try to score again, we have to kill the opponent in one go!"

The players cheered in unison, then roared back to their own half, waiting for kick-off.

This goal is more than just a goal.

It allows all the national football players to see their own changes and see their true strength!

From this goal, they also began to really believe that they could really win this game, and even more games, even ......

You can enter the World Cup! (End of chapter)
