Chapter 497 Pan Yiqiu is in class?

Author: Ant who watches football ruthlessly

The Swedish national team's first game in that international match month was actually in very bad shape.

The away game was against a weak team like Luxembourg, but they were unable to score the wrong goal.

It wasn't until the 58th minute that Lustig scored a goal, leading to a 1:0 victory over Wanderers.

After returning home, the Swedish team performed at a more normal level, defeating Bulgaria 3-0 and winning two consecutive games.

That result also allowed the Swedish team to rank second behind the French team in Group A, which is actually pretty good.

Pan Yi is actually more concerned about the Fulong National Team!

After he advised Gao Hongbo through the media this time, he wanted to see if there would be any changes.

After all, had Wu Lei been strengthened in the Dragon Country team in that life, and if the coach could listen to Pan Yi and make some tactical changes, could history have been changed?

But the fact is that Pan Yifei thought too much.

The shortcoming of foreign coaches is that they themselves have not been exposed to the top world football, and there is a big gap in some knowledge and ways of thinking.

This is not just about Gao Hongbo, it can be said that this is true for almost all foreign coaches.

There are also coaches from other weak football countries.

Why do world-class coaches always come from those football powers? Guardiola, Klopp, Mourinho...

It stands to reason that a coach does not need to play football on the field. If it is a purely intellectual job, he only needs to have a flexible mind.

But among the major national teams and the five major league teams, why are there so few coaches from non-powerful football countries?

Not to mention the Dragon Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, etc., even slightly less bad players like Bulgaria, Greece, and Romania are rarely able to gain a foothold in high-level leagues.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Ferguson from Scotland. In fact, Solskjaer from Norway is also quite an exception. After all, he later became the head coach of Manchester United.

But although they come from a non-traditional football power, they are very close to an established power like England. Not only is they geographically close, but they also want to spend their playing careers in England.

This allows them to have close contact with and learn the most advanced tactical knowledge and management concepts, and apply them to their own teams.

Therefore, if a country wants to make its football stronger, its players and coaches also want to go abroad.

Of course, the best way is for the player to go out and continue to be a coach after retirement, so that his vision and angle of watching the ball will be different.

But in Dangdong, the Dragon Kingdom does not have such soil.

No, Gao Hongbo did hear Pan Yi's suggestion, but he didn't listen.

He knew that his team played very well when facing South Korea and Iran, and their morale was high. Now he wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue Syria, which seemed to be the weakest, in one fell swoop, and then establish a situation for qualifying!

This kind of misjudgment that misunderstands the situation actually does not make up the huge gap between foreign football and international football.

And that situation has happened before.

During the 1998 World Cup qualifiers, the Dragon Country was divided into the "Western Asia" group consisting of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar, and Kuwait in the top ten.

At that time, they took it for granted that if they were in the same group, they would be counted out.

At the same time, they also believe that Saudi Arabia and Iran are the strongest in this group, while Qatar and Kuwait are not to be afraid of.

However, with such psychological expectations, when the two members of the national football team were confirmed to play against Iran, almost everyone felt that there was no hope of qualifying, and they had a bit of a bad attitude in the subsequent games.

The most typical example is when they played away to Saudi Arabia, they just thought that they could go home with a draw, but they didn't expect that if they won, they would have great hope of qualifying.

Because they did not expect that Iran could defeat the national football team, but took Qatar. Kuwait had no choice, so the points gap could not be widened.

The fact is that the points in that group have been in a stalemate. After all the games, Saudi Arabia has 14 points, Iran has qualified with 12 points, Dragon Kingdom is third with 11 points, Qatar is fourth with 10 points, and Kuwait, which is at the bottom, also has 8 points!

This is a completely different situation from the neighboring group, Japan and South Korea, which were leading all the way and were able to easily qualify at the beginning.

In other words, if Long Guo is more ambitious and gets 1-2 more points, it will really qualify, and it may even be possible to qualify directly as the first in the group.

After all, the Dragon Kingdom was only 3 points behind Saudi Arabia. At that time, the Dragon Kingdom was afraid of Saudi Arabia and also defeated the wrong leg at home.

If he can score a wrong leg in an away game (perhaps just asking Fan Zhiyi to score the penalty kick), one point will become three points, and a one-point wrong leg will become 0 points, and the ranking will be reversed.

Well, as a sage with a black surname said, the only lesson that human beings can learn from history is that humans will not learn lessons from history.

Maybe at the moment of failure, people will reflect on something, but as time goes by, no one will remember it.

Is this also the case with the current Long Guo team?

In this battle, Syria, which ranks lowest in the "Blessed Land" Xi'an group, the Dragon Kingdom team, which aims to win, has made adjustments to its lineup, and Gu Chao has started!

As for Syria, since they only scored 1 point in the first two rounds, they have a two-forward lineup for this game, which also shows their attitude of grabbing points.

The two sides fought fiercely, but failed to achieve anything.

In the 54th minute, Syria took advantage of a mistake in the defense of the Dragon Country team to score a goal!

Saleh made a long pass from the backcourt behind the Dragon National team's defense. When Feng Xiaoting, Ren Hang and Jiang Zhipeng were chasing Mavas, who had little effective control of the ball, goalkeeper Gu Chao blindly rushed out of the penalty area and collided with Jiang Zhipeng.

Mawas had an easy chance to score an empty goal, giving Syria a 1-0 lead.

Syria, whose morale was boosted, used fast breaks to create threats in a short period of time, but fortunately did not score any more goals.

But the advantage of that goal was maintained by Syria until the end.

After three rounds of the top 12 competition, the Long Guo team scored 1 point with 1 draw and 2 losses.

That kind of ending would certainly make all Dragon Kingdom fans very dissatisfied.

Outside the Suzaku Stadium after the game, fans shouted, "Can they afford their mistake? RNM, refund your money!" during an interview.

And more fans also expressed their disappointment:

"So disappointed! He knocked!"

"Can you win seven games? Is it possible to win all seven games? If you can't win, it's very blue."

"It's over!..."

Known as the "Suzaku Gate Incident" in history.

But it is obvious that the disappointment of Chinese football fans will continue to spread.

Five days later, the fourth round of the Asian top 12 qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup continued. The Dragon National team missed the Uzbekistan team in an away game.

Uzbekistan scored in the 50th minute. Dewey made a header error when clearing the ball. Shomurodov cut out from the right wing and passed a diagonal pass to the left. Bikmayev attacked the back corner of the goal. The ball hit the outside of the post and then crashed into the net.

The Dragon Kingdom team fell behind 0-1.

In the 85th minute, Zhao Mingjian made a hasty clearance and kicked out of the bottom line. The Uzbekistan team got a corner kick. Shukurov's long shot from the front of the penalty area hit Zhang Chengdong. The ball was refracted into the net. The Long Guo team fell behind 0-2.

Previously, the Dragon Country team lost 0-2 to the Uzbekistan team. After 4 rounds of the top 12, they had 1 draw and 3 losses and only accumulated 1 point...

Compared with the score and points, it was even more difficult for No to be depressed. Post-match technical statistics showed that the Uzbekistan team completely suppressed the Dragon Country team with a 19:2 shot count, while the national football team only had two shots from Wu Lei in the game.

Audiences who watched the entire game should know that Uzbekistan tried to attack the goal several times but was blocked by the post. Otherwise, the total score of 0:2 would not have been denied.

The Chinese football team lost two games in a row in a few days, and the rising fire in the hearts of thousands of fans was instantly extinguished.

After the match between China and Ukraine, national football coach Gao Hongbo also officially announced his resignation at the subsequent press conference!

Gao Hongbo, who once led the national football team to a 3-0 victory over the South Korean team, has since passed away, leaving fans with a national football team that is incomprehensible even after reflecting on it tens of millions of times.

Many people are asking, where is my disease? What is wrong with me?

More people suggested that Pan Yi could save Longguo football!

The reason is very simple. The current national team is actually not good at its individual capabilities, otherwise it would not be able to compete with South Korea and Iran;

And Changzhou Hengtai, which has many international players, will not win the AFC Champions League twice!

But when the Dragon Country team missed Syria and Uzbekistan, they played very poorly, and their tactical qualities were not reflected at all.

This shows that a good head coach is very important to a team.

And who is the best head coach in the Dragon Kingdom now?

Undoubtedly it’s Pan Yi!

Although he is currently the owner of York City Club, he is still unemployed at home, so he is the most suitable person.

For a while, the topic "Fans across the country called on Pan Yi to coach the national football team" was a hot search topic.

Everyone believes that although the Dragon Kingdom team has only one point in four games, there are only six games, so it is theoretically possible to qualify.

The East game will be on November 15th and will miss Qatar at home.

It took more than a month, which was enough for Pan Yi to inspect the players and prepare tactics.

No, then the time is actually very tight, and it is extremely difficult to qualify, but who told him to deny Pan Yi?

When Pan Yi temporarily took over the Swedish team, it was more than a week before the start of the European Cup. At that time, who would have thought that Pan Yi would lead the Swedish team to win the initial championship?

Pan Yi has proven to the world time and time again that he can turn decay into magic, and he will definitely be able to do the same when he returns to his homeland!

But because of the ardent hopes of fans across the country, the Football Association, caught in the middle, is a bit embarrassed.

Go ahead and invite me. It’s not like I haven’t invited you before, and it’s not the first time I’ve been rejected. That kid really seems to hold a grudge...

No, all the fans are watching, fearing that the Football Association office building will be overturned!
