"The ball is in!!!"

"In the 38th minute, the Chinese team took the lead in knocking on the Iranian team's goal!"

"The goal from striker Wu Lei is a very exciting team cooperation."

Amid the cheers of the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center, I saw Wu Lei rolling on the ground by the opponent's goalkeeper for two laps, jumping up from the ground, rushing towards the corner flagpole excitedly, celebrating another goal of his own.

The past six months have been the most enjoyable half a year in his career.

Before Gao Han coached the national team, Wu Lei was restricted by foreign players in the club, and was also fixed on the right by Perrin in the national team, and his performance was greatly reduced. In addition, his own pressure made his performance not ideal in the national team. The more he wanted to score a goal, the more he missed the goal.

But after Gao Han coached the national team, he had in-depth communication with him and gave many good suggestions, which made his performance in the club and the national team have made great progress, especially in the national team, where consecutive goals are more important than the other.

With his performance over the past six months, I believe no one will question his position in the national team anymore.

What's more important is that Gao Han told him clearly that the current arrangement is only temporary. When there is enough time in the future, he will further adjust the team's offense, and then Wu Lei and other offensive players will gain more freedom.

In fact, in this game, Zhang Yuning, Gao Lin and Wu Lei frequently changed positions.

Just now, Zhang Yuning suddenly ran to the left and grabbed the header. Wu Lei cooperated with Gao Lin from the arc top of the front edge of the penalty area, which created this goal.

Wu Lei also clearly felt that this is the tactical style that best exerts his strength and potential.

...

"The Chinese team completed a very beautiful attack."

"Zhang Yuning, a young player from Ajax in the Netherlands, performed very actively in this game. He had an advantage in several top-up and confrontations with Montazeri, and firmly locked in air superiority for the Chinese team. It was the team's biggest highlight so far in the first half, and created threats and murderous intents several times."

"The ball I just pushed to Wu Lei was also very comfortable and played a key role."

"The Chinese team is temporarily leading by 1-0."

"But international players should still be careful. Iran's strength is not bad. There are still a few minutes left before the end of the first half. The game situation may be reversed at any time. The Chinese team should still be careful."

…………

"Damn it!"

Queros was so angry that he was about to jump up.

This is not the first time that the Chinese team has seized the loophole of the Iranian team.

There is no perfect team in the world. No matter how Iran's offense and defense balances, it is impossible to achieve no loopholes. The key is whether the opponent has the strength to make good use of these loopholes.

Obviously, Gao Han did it.

After several counterattacks, the Chinese team passed directly to the frontcourt to find the center, and then planned the attack through the center, making full use of the gap between the Iranian midfielder and the defense line, as well as the gap between the two ribs of the defense line.

Several sharp counterattacks in the first half were all caught in this area, and Queros didn't see it.

Then why didn't he plug these loopholes?

It's very simple, he wants to win.

The gap between the two ribs comes from the active forward attack of the full-back. The loopholes between the double midfielder and the defense line of the midfield come from the forward pressure of the team's defense line. It's not too easy to plug these loopholes, but how can it be cost?

If you want to ensure the stability of the defense, you have to sacrifice the offense, which is something Queros doesn't want to see.

Iran is not China. Whether it is overall strength, player personal ability, physical confrontation ability, or team technical and tactical level, Iran is above the Chinese team. If Iran adopts a defensive counterattack strategy for such a two-team matchup, Queiros should really be put on the bed and went home.

It may not even be possible that Iranian players on the court will agree with his playing style.

According to Queros' original plan, Iran traveled a long distance and went to a 6,000-kilometer expedition. Coupled with the influence of overseas internationals, Iran's most competitive one should be in the first half. If you want to win away, you can only score goals in the first half and then defend in the second half, so that the Chinese team can push them out and fight back.

But he underestimated the defense of the Chinese team. He had carefully studied the game of the South Korean team. He was confident that Iran could break through and score goals with the level of Chinese team's defense when playing against the South Korean team. But unexpectedly, in the first half of this game, the Chinese team's defense was better than when playing against the South Korean team.

It is obvious that after this team broke through the Korean fear, not only did the team's morale rise, but the players' confidence also improved, and they implemented Gao Han's tactics meticulously, which made the Chinese team's defense in the first half of this game become impeccable.

The defense is stable, and the opportunity to counterattack will naturally come out.

What surprised Queiroz even more was that after thirty minutes, Gao Han took advantage of the long-term failure of Iran and wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, and the opportunity was very good, making Iran a little embarrassed, which directly caused the goal just now.

"I've made up my mind, but I've underestimated Gao Han!" Queros regretted it.

Losing this goal was definitely a tragic blow to Iran and also disrupted Queros' original plan.

"What should we do now?" the assistant asked concernedly.

At this time, the head coach should make a decision.

Should we counterattack? Or should we stabilize the situation first?

Queros needs to consider more issues, such as the team's physical energy consumption.

Yes, what should I do?

Queros himself also had a headache.

…………

…………

In fact, after Wu Lei scored, Gao Han was not as happy as outsiders imagined, and he was even a little worried.

There is a saying that is right: barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes.

But the problem is that when this barefoot boy puts on his shoes, he will also be afraid of barefoot.

Gao Han’s current psychology, and even the current psychology of the international players, is like this.

With one goal in the lead, how to hold this goal?

His current situation is the same as that of South Korean head coach Stilik a few days ago. How should he play after leading?

There is no advantage in physical confrontation, no advantage in personal ability, and no advantage in overall technical and tactical level. How to maintain the leading advantage when lagging behind in all aspects is quite a test of how to maintain the leading advantage.

The first decision Gao Han made was to call out all the internationals who were celebrating, reminding them to return to the 433 formation and concentrate on defensive counterattacks of 200%.

Why can the fight against South Korea turn around the situation?

After conceding the ball, Gao Han made a decisive attack in the first half, snatched the ball back and pulled the score back to 1-1.

When playing South Korea, Wu Lei's goal to equalize the score played a key role in the team. Without that goal, it would be impossible to defeat South Korea in the second half, and it might even be beaten.

By the same token, the Chinese team took the lead in this game against Iran and had to defend it in the first half.

Moreover, Gao Han also has his own consideration, that is, the physical energy consumption of the Iranian team.

There are seven international players on the list who traveled a long distance to return to China to serve the kingdom. After playing the first top 12 games, they traveled 6,000 kilometers to Chenyang to play away. There is no need to say how much this consumption is.

As long as the team keeps the start of the first and second half, the remaining pressure will be much easier.

If Gao Han’s premonition is correct, Iran will last for at most about 60 minutes in the second half.

This time period is often the time point for the head coach to adjust.

Of course, Queros would only know more about what Gao Han knew, so he would counterattack wildly.

Thinking of this, Gao Han once again entered the coaching system, and threw out the defensive card and the confrontation card at the same time, forming a combination card effect of the iron wall, strengthening the team's defensive ability in the middle and backcourts.

…………

…………

With Gao Han's early warning and after the game restarted, Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting both solemnly organized the team's defense.

As Gao Han expected, the Iranian team immediately launched a crazy counterattack against the Chinese team after re-teletting.

This is the natural reaction that all teams with the advantage in their strength can make when they are behind in the score. Queros did not stop it. It was obviously very clear that there was really not much time left for him.

Iran's crazy counterattack completely suppressed the Chinese team on the court, and even the three forwards in the frontcourt had to actively retreat to participate in the defense. Ten players in the team except the goalkeeper were organized into three lines of defense, closely deploying in their own half.

The 60,000 fans at the Olympic Sports Center felt this unprecedented tremendous pressure, and Iran almost fought desperately.

The Chinese team can only defend, and it is difficult to even have the opportunity to counterattack.

It can be said that at this moment, everyone began to clearly feel how terrifying Iran is when it attacks with all its might.

But the Chinese team's defense is also very tight.

As Gao Han arranged before the game, what Iranian team is best at is impact and requires space. The Chinese team keeps a tight array of three lines, and does not easily give Iranian team room to impact, making it difficult for Iranian players to get opportunities.

Especially for the defense of Iran's midfielder, the Chinese team is among the top priority, which makes it difficult for Iran to organize effective offenses within the 30-meter area of ​​the Chinese team. They can only go to the side and then pass through the side.

However, in a intensive defense, it is difficult for Iran's team to get a chance in the Chinese team's penalty area through crosses. Feng Xiaoting and Mei Fang both firmly locked in air supremacy.

Faced with mountainous offensive pressure, the Chinese internationals stubbornly supported Iran's offensive, especially in the stoppage time of the first half, Iran even pushed up a lot, almost holding the Chinese team in half and beating it.

It has indeed created several good opportunities for Iran, especially Iran's long-range shots, which are very threatening. However, on the one hand, the focus of the Chinese team's international team, coupled with the team's meticulous defensive formation and the performance of goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, has forced the Chinese team to withstand Iran's bombardment and ensure that the goal is not lost.

During the entire stoppage time, not only the players on the court, fans on the sidelines, and even the audience watching the game live on TV can clearly feel the players' investment and concentration on the court. Everyone almost desperately devoted themselves to the defense, and everyone was worried and uneasy.

This is a torment of a time that is as good as a year.

Four minutes after stoppage time, the referee finally blew the whistle to the end of the first half.

The Chinese team temporarily took the lead with Wu Lei's sneak attack goal.

But in the last ten minutes of the first half, the one-sided situation on the court made everyone feel nervous and uneasy about the score.

Can it be held back?

Faced with such a strong Iran, can the team withstand such pressure? Can they defend this advantage?
Chapter completed!
