Chapter 1137 The cold soldier?
"What did the Chinese team train today?"
In the hotel where the South Korean national team stayed, head coach Stilik asked his assistant coach.
This afternoon, his assistant sneaked into the so-called fans and came to the Seoul World Cup stadium to watch the training of the Chinese team on the spot. This is one of their obvious advantages as the home team.
At least, the training grounds they arranged for the Chinese team cannot be closed to the outside world, and there is no secret for them.
"It's nothing. They are all very ordinary training events. There is a fifteen-minute opening time before the game. The players were interviewed by the media. I paid attention to it. They looked good in their mental state, and Hao Jun was sensitive to a cold."
"Hao Junmin?" Stilik knew about this player. He had just played against Seoul in the AFC Champions League not long ago.
After Gao Han coached the Chinese national team, he only played three games in total. The last game against Kazakhstan was a warm-up match. Gao Han disrupted all the main lineups and reorganized them, obviously more of the inspection of substitutes and young rookies, and even many core main players, including Zheng Zhi, have never played.
What is truly representative is the last two group stages of the World Cup qualifiers. Hao Junmin is one of the few players under Gao Han who started in all two games and serves as the core of the midfield. It can be seen that in Gao Han's mind, his position is very important.
Everyone knows that Gao Han is the head coach who attaches great importance to the midfield. Hao Junmin and Zheng Zhi started in the two World Cup qualifiers, so if nothing unexpected happens in this game, they will also start.
But Hao Junmin actually caught a cold now.
"I asked someone to investigate. I did have a cold since last night. Today, Gao Han banned from training. It is said that he wanted to recover quickly and strive to catch up with the day after tomorrow's game." The assistant replied.
After hearing this, a trace of arc appeared on the corner of Stilik's mouth.
The battle is imminent, and the main midfielder catches a cold. I really don’t know how Gao Han is feeling at this moment.
"What about training? Are you seeing any clues?" Stilik asked with concern.
"Nothing special," the assistant shook his head. "They are still some regular training events, but it's strange that the training time is thirty minutes longer than before, and there is no group confrontation for the whole game."
After hearing this, Stilik nodded slightly. Gao Han's training is notoriously rigorous. If there is no accident, it usually only takes ninety minutes, but this time it was suddenly extended for half an hour, which shows that it is not aimless, but it should be intentional arrangements.
As for why, I'm afraid only Gao Han and the coaching staff know, maybe it's to adjust their physical fitness and condition.
Lorenzo Buenaventura is the world's top level in this regard, and no one dares to underestimate it.
As for the group confrontation of the whole audience, it is obvious that there are Korean eyeliners everywhere outside. At this time, group confrontation may reveal more things in the inadvertent details, so Gao Han simply chose not to confrontation in groups.
"What programs have they trained?" Stilik asked again.
"Uh... there are small venues, but I carefully studied the group list, and there was nothing special. In addition, I conducted a lot of training on shooting and offensive routines, such as crossing from the wing, encircling in front of the goal and long shots outside the penalty area, which are all the most ordinary training."
After thinking about it, the assistant suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, I also conducted a set piece training. The young player named Wang Lei had a deep level of free kicks. It can be seen that he had practiced hard and had a high shooting rate. Whether it was a direct free kick score or an indirect free kick assist, he was very good."
"Wang Lei." Stilek recited this name silently. He knew that Wang Lei was a national player that Gao Han attached great importance to. He was selected for the national team at the age of 18 and never became the main player. However, Gao Han was always with him. He really had to pay attention. It is difficult to guarantee that this would not be a surprise soldier Gao Han had on hand.
Of course, no one can tell how to use Gao Han and when to use it.
"How to arrange the front line?" Stilik asked again.
"Not fixed, Gao Lin, Zhang Yuning and Xiao Zhi were used in turns. I feel that Gao Han is not sure who will be the main force. It is likely to see who is in good condition and who will get on."
Stilik frowned, it was a little hard to say.
When it comes to state, Zhang Yuning must be better. He just scored twice in the Eredivisie. He couldn't play in Witts last season, but this season he went to Ajax as an important rotation center. This role should not be too wise to change.
But the problem with international players studying abroad is that they run back and forth for thousands of miles, which is a serious test for the players' psychology and condition, especially for young international players like Zhang Yuning. If they are not handled carefully, it is likely that he will suffer double losses in both the national team and the club.
Gao Lin is a veteran international player. How to prevent him? The Korean coaching staff has a plan, but Xiao Zhi is relatively unfamiliar with him. He looks like a very impactful center forward, and I believe it will not be too difficult to defend.
In this way, the two-hour training arranged by Gao Han has become unnecessary for research or spy.
But Stilik didn't dare to rest assured no matter what. This time he was facing Gao Han.
Looking around the world, who doesn’t know Gao Han?
Which head coach wasn’t nervous and extremely nervous when facing Gao Han?
Who dares to say that he can face Gao Han calmly?
In fact, Stilik himself was anxious, and he knew very well that Gao Han's level was not comparable to that of him. The only reliance was that the Korean team was much higher than the Chinese team.
That's why he took the initiative to provoke before the game.
But now it seems that the master is the master, and everything is still carried out step by step, orderly, without being affected or disturbed by the outside world, which makes the shadow in Stilik's heart heavier.
"What do you think Gao Han will fight this day after tomorrow?" Stilek asked uneasyly.
The assistant shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Who knows? Who can guess Gao Han's thoughts?"
"What if you were Gao Han?" Stilik asked again without giving up.
"If I were Gao Han..." the assistant tsk twice and thought for a while, "I will consider starting the attack. This is Gao Han's specialty and his advantage. If you attack for a while, even if it doesn't work, it will disrupt our rhythm, but..."
“But what?”
"We all know how good the Chinese team is. The physical energy consumption of the start of the attack is very large. With the quality of Chinese players, they may not be able to withstand such consumption. If the attack is not good and fails to score a goal, they may be exhausted in the second half. Even if they really score a goal, they may not be able to defend it."
The physical fitness and fighting spirit of the Korean team are world-famous.
"But they have Buenaventura in charge," Stilik reminded.
"This cannot be done overnight. It requires the entire training system, even the club's training level improvement."
Stilik agrees with the assistant's point of view, "What do you mean is that Gao Han cannot attack?"
"No, what if he wants to score a goal?" the assistant asked.
The reason why Gao Han was able to win every battle is that his gods and ghosts often made unexpected moves. The more unlikely others think it is, the more likely it is to happen.
After hearing this, Stilik sighed, and the question returned to the starting point.
They couldn't guess how Gao Han would fight.
"I think, instead of guessing whether Gao Han will attack, it is better for us to be ourselves first, stabilize our position after the game, and not be greedy for excellence. Even if the opponent rushes to attack, we will not be caught off guard. But if Gao Han does not attack at the beginning, it means that he does not have enough confidence and confidence in the strength of the Chinese team, and then we can follow the trend..."
The assistant's words reminded Stilik that no matter how Gao Han plays, as long as he puts himself invincible first, it doesn't matter. Even if Gao Han really has the power of ghosts and gods, can he still turn the Chinese team into magic?
"You're right." Stilek finally laughed.
He felt as if he had unloaded a big stone in his heart.
But soon, his face became solemn again, "But tomorrow I will continue to go to the outside field to spy on their training situation. I want to understand Gao Han's every move, even if it is an adjustment on the training ground, I have to record it one by one for me."
"Okay, I'll go in person." The assistant agreed cautiously.
…………
…………
On the afternoon of the second day after the Chinese team arrived in Seoul, the team's training class was once again arranged to be held at the outfield of the World Cup stadium.
What’s interesting is that Korean media reporters and fans have gathered around the stadium again to watch. The only difference is that there are many Chinese fans outside the training ground today, and they are cheering for the international players.
In a foreign country, being able to hear the cheers of fellow countrymen made the international players feel warm. Gao Han also made an exception and allowed the international players to sign and take a group photo after the training.
This move won thunderous applause from the audience.
Like yesterday's training class, today's training lasted for two hours, but the training intensity was not high, and there were still a lot of regular training programs. It looked ordinary and didn't seem to be made by a famous coach at all. There was not even a minimum of the most concise training program, which made people more and more suspicious.
That's right, everyone began to believe that Gao Han deliberately did not expose the training program to outsiders, and believed that he had already trained in Shenyang, and the training classes after coming to Seoul were more adjusted.
This discovery made Korean media deeply worried. Could it be that Gao Han really hid some strange tricks?
But after China and South Korea have been fighting for so many years, what tricks can China have?
Looking at the two training sessions, Gao Han specially practiced free kicks and corner kicks. Young player Wang Lei's set-piece skills left a deep impression, and Zhao Jun's header skills were also amazing.
Could this be the surprise weapon of Gao Han?
Not only did the Korean media explore the training of the Chinese team in depth, the coach of the South Korean national team Stilik and the coaching staff are also concerned about the training of the Chinese team.
Gao Han is a world-famous coach. The more he plays like this, the more Stilik doubts Gao Han has any special arrangements, but he is completely unable to understand Gao Han's thoughts. His heart is always hanging in his voice, and he doesn't know when it will fall.
Time passed slowly like this.
In a blink of an eye, the match day is here.
South Korea has always arranged people to pay attention to the every move of the Chinese national team, but this time, the Chinese team is too normal and everything is strictly followed by the process.
The only accident was that on the night before the game day, a group of Korean fans were about to break into the Hilton Hotel where the Chinese team checked in, but almost clashed with the Chinese fans outside the hotel. Fortunately, the Seoul police quickly separated the two sides.
This made everyone realize that it might be more than just a game.
This is a war that represents China and South Korea.
