Chapter 1152 Successor
On the evening of September 6, Shenyang Olympic Sports Center.
More than 500 well-known domestic and foreign media reporters and more than 60,000 fans from all over the country gathered in Chenyang.
This is the first home game of the top 12 games in the past fifteen years, and it has attracted the attention of the people across the country.
Gao Han once again arranged the 433 formation in this game, but the lineup changed compared to the previous game when he played against South Korea.
The goalkeepers are Zeng Cheng, the defenses are Jiang Zhipeng, Feng Xiaoting, Mei Fang and Zhang Linfan, the midfield are Hao Junmin, Zheng Zhi and Huang Baiwen, and the frontfield trident is Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning and Gao Lin.
The midfielder Hao Junmin, who played as a substitute in the last game when he played against the Korean team, appeared in the lineup, but the trident in the frontcourt was still a combination of Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning and Gao Lin.
It is obvious that Gao Han still continued his defensive counterattack style when he played against South Korea.
After all, it was the first home court of the Chinese team. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely warm, especially before the start of the game, more than 60,000 fans sang the national anthem in unison with the players, which was even more shocking and fierce.
But in the game, the Iran team was the first to attack.
At the beginning of the game, Iran, who played away, launched a rapid attack on the Chinese team. After taking the lead, it quickly formed an offensive and quickly sent the ball into the penalty area. However, Feng Xiaoting grabbed Azmon and cleared the ball.
This top scorer in Iran who scored seven goals in the top 40 group stage, the sprint was very fast just now, which left a deep impression on people and reminded the Chinese team that although it was home court, it still should not be careless about Iran.
Soon, the Chinese team also found an opportunity to counterattack. Zhang Linfan launched a long pass and fast attack in the backcourt. Gao Lin stopped the ball and transferred it to Zhang Yuning in the penalty area. However, the Iranian defender returned to defense very timely, and Zhang Yuning was a little slow and was destroyed.
Huang Bowen then sent a corner kick, but the Chinese team failed to create a threat. Instead, Iran seized an opportunity to attack. Fortunately, Zeng Cheng expanded his defense range and rushed to the front of the penalty area to intercept the ball.
Iran still adopted the 4231 style of play in this game, while Zheng Zhi dragged the third midfielder in the 433 formation of the Chinese team, responsible for protecting the defense line, while Hao Junmin and Huang Baiwen were relatively ahead, suppressing the opponent's two midfielders.
In the Iranian team's tactical system, veteran Taimurian, one of the double midfielders, is responsible for organizing and scheduling and controlling the rhythm, Gao Han arranged for Hao Junmin to be responsible for the control and interference. As soon as he got the ball, Hao Junmin would get close at the first time and not give him space to get the ball and get the ball easily.
Shaojai plays as a midfielder, leading the frontcourt passes and creates opportunities during the offense, and is responsible for delivering shells to his teammates. Jahanbahsh and Amiri on both wings are responsible for widening the width. Coupled with the forward insertion of the full-back when attacking with the ball, it is easy to form an advantage in numbers and create opportunities.
But the Chinese team is also prepared for this. Zheng Zhi dragged in the end, responsible for protecting the defense line and following Shaojiayi. Huang Baiwen's position also retreated relatively. While assisting Zheng Zhi, he also paid attention to the forward insertion of Iranian midfielder Ezatolahi.
Ezatolahi is only nineteen years old. Although he is 1.90 meters tall, his speed is not slow at all and he is also able to move forward on the court, which allows him to move forward quickly on the field. He is a very threatening player and Iran's youngest goal scorer.
It is worth mentioning that the Iranian international once played for Atletico Madrid, but later failed to gain a foothold.
In view of the characteristics of the Iranian team, Gao Han also adjusted the defense line tasks. Jiang Zhipeng and Zhang Linfan on both sides were also relatively introverted, mainly blocking the Iranian team's introverted routes, but in this way, the crosses on the sides were relatively open.
This is also Gao Han's strategy in this game, blocking Iran's strong attack in the middle, letting them pass.
Judging from the game between Iran and Qatar, Iran's offensive efficiency is not high in terms of receiving crosses. Although Jahanbahsh on the right made eight crosses, none of them created a threat. Instead, he cut in and scored a goal.
Several offensive players in Iran's frontcourt are also very powerful players, but once the Chinese team maintains a meticulous array and does not leave room for them, their offensive effect will be greatly reduced.
This is why Iran cannot score within 90 minutes of regular games in the home game of Qatar.
In this game, facing China, Iran once again fell into the same hard situation.

"Hey, what do you mean by your boss? He tried every means to recruit you from Europe, but the result was good. He didn't give a minute of playing time. What exactly did he want to do?"
"Look at the nineteen-year-old Zhang Yuning, he scored twice in two consecutive games. Are you almost eighteen years old? Why can't you arrange for you to play? Even if you haven't arrived, you should be a substitute, right?"
"I think he is teasing you on purpose?"
"It would be a bad idea if it worked hard to run back. You are all on the first team now. If you are accidentally kicked back to the second team, how embarrassing would it be?"
"If you bosses are unrighteous, you are players of Chinatown, and Chinatown is his. If you join the national team, play in the game, and perform well, he will also have a bright face, but why don't you take care of it?"
...
In the stands, Wang Lei and Zhao Jun were watching the game intently, but Wang Lei's rich father kept muttering and complaining in his ears, because his precious son returned to China for training this time, and he didn't even have a minute of playing time, and he sat in the stands.
"Hey, Wang Lei, I'm talking to you, have you heard?"
Wang Lei, who was hit by his father's arm, focused on watching the game, turned his head unhappily and glared at his father, "I heard it, you don't understand anything, so don't talk nonsense. If someone else hears it, it will be bad."
"I'm doing this for your own good, you said you're like this..."
"I haven't reached the level of the last game yet, so it's useless to go up." Wang Lei said angrily.
He knew the character of his father the most, he had some money, but some were arrogant.
It was precisely because of his behavior that he had been teased and teased by his teammates and friends after entering Chinatown. Wang Lei also complained about his father a lot.
"Yes, uncle, Mr. Gao Han said that we were recruited back to help us integrate into the team, and also examine our level. At our age, it is difficult to play against Iran and South Korea. It would be more helpful to sit in the stands and observe and study the game carefully." Zhao Jun also persuaded.
"But this..."
"Stop talking, dad, we are focusing on the competition."
As he said that, the two boys continued to watch the game, pointing fingers, and constantly discussing something.
Wang Lei's father, who was sitting aside, couldn't understand what they were saying at all. He only heard Wang Lei say that Zheng Zhi's position this time was too beautiful. As expected, Jiang is still old and Zhao Jun said that Feng Xiaoting's prediction this time was too accurate. He is the leading central defender in Asia...
There is no way, he can't discuss these majors with them, but as an amateur fan, he can tell some of it.
Zheng Zhi did perform better in this position after dragging him down.
Just now, the opponent's left-back was inserted into the edge, Zhang Linfan followed the defense, Huang Baiwen followed Amili, and when Shaojiayi ran over to receive the pass, Zheng Zhi stood in front of Shaojiayi smartly and blocked Shaojiayi. Otherwise, with Shaojiayi's position just now, if Zheng Zhi was half a beat slow, Shaojiayi would probably have passed behind him.
Wang Lei's father knew in his heart that Zheng Zhi is the most important member of the national team at present, but he is not young anymore. Now everyone is worried that if Zheng Zhi retires or suffers injuries, who can stand up to the Chinese national team's back?
Gao Han now trains Wang Lei as Zheng Zhi’s successor, and leads the new with the old, which is also a good thing for Wang Lei.
But as a fan and Wang Lei’s father, he was impatient to see his son play.
How proud is he to be a dad when he wears the national team jersey and plays South Korea and Iran?
In the future, I will have more capital to brag in front of old friends, right?
But when I looked around me, Wang Lei and Zhao Jun were staring at the stadium, studying teammates and games, how could I think about these things?

"The world's famous coach is the world's famous coach!"
In another stand, the bigwigs of the Football Association gathered, and many well-known domestic coaches also came to watch the game.
Judging from the performance in the first twenty minutes, the Chinese team performed very holisticly. On the scene, they had offensive and defensive teams with Iran, and they were not completely at a disadvantage. The close defensive array did not give Iran an absolute chance to score.
"The progress of assisting defense and filling up and pressing and pinching is very obvious, and the progress of the players' running is also very good. The three forwards actively participated in the defense and formed the first line of defense. The central defender Feng Xiaoting also took on the team's goal-spreading task. The offense and defense are more like a combination of a whole, which is quite good. No wonder they can defeat South Korea three-to-one away."
"Yes, in the past, our defense was more based on the number of players, but now it seems that even four defenders and three midfielders can still organize strict tactics. The key is the player's position rate and overall movement pace."
"The three lines are not disconnected. Iran faces two defense lines whenever he takes the ball. It is difficult to create opportunities and cannot find effective offensive routines. I didn't expect that Gao Han is not only a top offensive master, but also has such excellent defensive attainments."
"The most important thing is the change in the mentality of the players. The rhythm is very consistent. You can be fast when you should be fast, and you can be slow down when you should be slow. You can be strong in execution. Even Gao Lin is active in running, and he is obviously much more confident. He dares to take the ball, no longer fears his opponent, and no longer fears his head and tail. I think this change is closely related to Gao Han."
"I think the most important thing in the national team is Zheng Zhi. This veteran is too powerful. Iran is about to break through our defense several times, but Zheng Zhi can appear at a critical moment where he needs him, protect the defense line, cut off the opponent's passing line, or attack."
"Yes, Zheng Zhi is indeed crucial. Under Gao Han's command, his role is beyond doubt. It's a pity that he is not young anymore. If Zheng Zhi is injured, I'm afraid..."
It is indeed necessary to consider the issue of Zheng Zhi’s successor.
Everyone present could see that the national team is indeed well trained and well-done, especially in defense, playing in an orderly manner. Although the counterattack and attack are mainly long-term passes, they are also very distinctive.
Both centers, Zhang Yuning and Gao Lin, played an important tactical role in the frontcourt.
This is also the reason why Gao Han continued the front lineup in the last game in this game.
I just don't know if this time will continue to work?
Just as everyone's thought arose, a burst of exclamations suddenly came from the stands of the stadium.
I only saw a long pass from the backcourt of China, crossed half of the court and flew towards the frontcourt.
Chapter completed!
