"The first half is over."

After both team head coaches and players returned to the locker room, the TV screen also switched to the live broadcast room.

Two well-known domestic football match commentators are responsible for analyzing and summarizing the game situation in the first half, and at the same time estimating and guessing the game trend in the second half.

"It should be said that the Chinese team's performance in the first half was indeed quite good, leaving us with an extremely deep impression, especially during the period of about 30 minutes, the team changed from the original 433 to the 343 formation, the wing was activated, and the offense was greatly improved. In those few minutes, the Chinese team scored a goal."

"The other feature is also mentioned. Zhang Yuning, a young player who has performed very well in Gao Han's national team. In the past six months, we can clearly feel his progress, especially his confidence on the court. Moreover, he has established a firm foothold in the first team of Ajax, performed very well, and his future is unlimited."

"I believe that in time, he will become an important member of the Chinese national team's forward."

"But we must also note that in the last ten minutes of the first half, the Iranian team's crazy attack put a lot of pressure on us. This is the real offensive level of Iran. What I want to say is that the second half will be more difficult. In the foreseeable second half, Iran will definitely do its best to attack."

The host of CCTV live broadcast room nodded, "Iran cannot accept losing."

"Yes, according to various signs before the game, Iran's bottom line is to get one point away."

"Queroz is an old Asian. He is very familiar with Asian football and is not unfamiliar with the top 12 games. Before the game, he clearly stated that every point in the top 12 games is very important, and the five games in the first round of the first round will determine the trend of the second round, so his bottom line in Shenyang is to get one point."

"Before the game, many of our media and fans believed that Iran's three goals conceded in the top 40 matches were lost at the start of the second half, so many of us felt that the Chinese team should hold steady in the first half and start the second half. This is Gao Han's specialty, but the result surprised us."

"About 30 minutes in the first half, Gao Han saw the opportunity and immediately changed the formation decisively and pressed the attack. This reflects his on-site commander as a world-class coach. This is exactly the same as the previous game against South Korea."

"The situation of the game is changing rapidly. No head coach can fully control the game. There will always be some accidents. How to adjust his strategy and tactics according to the accident is a big test for the head coach. Gao Han used two goals in two games to tell everyone that he is truly the world's top coach."

"That's right." CCTV host agreed very much, "In the past, many of us thought that the international players were not strong, but through the first half of the match against South Korea and Iran, we can clearly see that we are indeed inferior to others, but the gap is not as big as imagined. As long as the head coach's tactics are appropriate, we are fully capable of fighting against our opponents."

"That's right. Gao Han's tactics in these two games left a profound impression on me. Not only did the domestic and the media around the world give extremely high praise, this reflects the level of a world-class coach, who judges the situation, knows people and uses it well, and dares to make decisions at critical moments."

CCTV host also agreed, "Then do you think the Chinese team should play in the second half? Or, how to maintain a one-to-zero lead? What tactical style will Iran adopt?"

"There is no doubt that Iran will attack and attack wildly. I personally think that the ideal way is to continue to stabilize the situation. We defended well in the first half. After adjusting the midfield break, we should continue to maintain the second half. We should first defend the Iranian team's start, strengthen the midfield defense at the right time, win a forward and replace a defensive midfielder."

CCTV host tsk, "But there is one problem. We did not arrange full-time defensive midfielders to the roster in this game. We all know that Gao Han does not like to use pure defensive players. He prefers midfielders like Huang Baiwen, Yin Hongbo, and Hao Junmin."

"Yes, so, to be honest, I don't know how Gao Han will adjust, but I can be sure that Iran will attack wildly in the second half, and the game will still be very, very difficult. I believe Gao Han should have a very sufficient plan for this."

…………

In the locker room of the home team of the Olympic Sports Center, Gao Han's eyes slowly swept over the eleven players sitting inside.

With the strong attack of the Iranian team in the last moment of the first half, the Chinese team consumed a lot of physical energy. The international players were under tremendous pressure. Each of them tried their best and gritted their teeth and struggled to support them.

Before entering the locker room just now, Gao Han had obtained the first half analysis report and physical fitness report from Buenaventura and Sergio Garcia, and he had a rough understanding of the team's current situation.

The players were very mentally stubborn, but at the last moment of the first half, the Iranian bombardment brought a huge psychological shock to the international players, making them all start to worry about whether they could defend this advantage because the Iranian team was too strong.

How to play in the second half?

Or, how to fight after leading?

This is a chronic disease that has plagued Chinese football for decades.

Everyone in the locker room was unsure and looked at Gao Han.

Soon, midfielder Wu Xi pushed open the door of the locker room and walked in. After greeting Gao Han and everyone, he walked silently to his seat and sat down.

At this time, everyone knew that Gao Han was going to replace him.

"Everyone knows the situation in the first half. I can conclude that the Iranian team's offensive will be more fierce in the second half. They will definitely launch a rush at the beginning. If they don't score a goal, they will definitely not give up."

Gao Han said it very sure, and the players were all experienced and could basically judge the Iranian team's decision.

Queiroz's goal is one point, and he must attack strongly in the second half.

"Sorry, Gao Lin, I need to strengthen the midfield. I hope you can understand my decision." Gao Han turned to look at Gao Lin.

Gao Lin obviously had been mentally prepared for a long time.

In Gao Han's lineup, Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning are both very important. The former's speed has a very obvious advantage in counterattack. Zhang Yuning is currently the top scorer in the team, and at the same time has a certain air-control advantage in the frontcourt, especially when facing Montazeri, his physical confrontation can suppress the opponent.

More importantly, Zhang Yuning is not fast, but he is very smart in running.

Gao Han once praised Zhang Yuning in the team, believing that he is the smartest player in the national team except for the players of Chinatown, so far, which reflects Gao Han's emphasis on Zhang Yuning.

Although he was a little unconvinced, Gao Lin had to admit that he was not young anymore, but Zhang Yuning was still young and full of spirit. He played for a club like Ajax and had a bright future.

"I understand, boss." Gao Lin stood up happily and looked at all his teammates, "I'll ask everyone in the second half. I will cheer for everyone on the sidelines. Please work hard to keep this score."

Gao Lin walked towards Wu Xi, hugged the latter heavily, shook hands with Gao Han, and turned around and walked towards the inner room.

This Hengda center is known for his physical fitness in China, but in this game, he did not gain much advantage in this regard against Iran. On the one hand, Iran's defender's physical fitness is indeed good, and on the other hand, it is related to his not very ideal state, but he contributed a key assist to the team.

Gao Lin was replaced at this time, and he retired successfully.

"In the second half, we will change the formation and play the 442 formation, but I will make a special arrangement here, Huang Baiwen."

Gao Han pointed to midfielder Huang Baiwen, "Your position was changed to the right in the second half."

While talking, Gao Han pushed the pawn representing Huang Baiwen to the right on the tactical board pushed by Xiao Mu.

"Wu Xi and Zheng Zhi serve as double midfielders. Your task is to firmly protect our defense, especially the front of the penalty area and the two ribs, Hao Junmin, your position is on the left."

As Gao Han moved the chess pieces on the tactical board, everyone clearly saw Gao Han's tactical changes.

"Zhang Yuning's mission is still at the forefront. I want you to hold back the opponent's two central defenders, especially Montazeri, and Wu Lei. You need to retreat a little. When attacking, you swim around Zhang Yuning, control the second landing point, or use your speed advantage, and we will hit the back directly."

"When defending, I want you to pay close attention to a person, Temulian, when Iran takes the ball and attacks, you must pay attention to cutting off the connection between Temulian and Montazeri, and not let them take the ball calmly in the backcourt."

Montazeri's advantage lies in his brain. He is a central defender who relies on his brain to make a living. He has good ground defense and excellent passing and ball-out ability. Many threatening counterattacks in Iran come from his feet. Needless to say, Taimurian is the core of the Iranian team's midfield organization. The connection between these two players is very important to Iran's midfield organization.

This was discovered by Gao Han in the first half during the game.

In the Iranian team, many people joked that Montazeri is Queros' godson, but Queros is not the kind of mediocre person who has no brains and nepotism. Montazeri's defensive consciousness is unspeakable, and his prediction and positioning are also very good. Coupled with his outstanding ability to shoot and counterattack planning, he won Queros' trust.

Of course, the reason why Iran complained about Montazeri was mainly because his physical fitness was not outstanding in the Iranian national team. He was only 1.82 meters tall and his jumping ability was not strong. This made him make many mistakes when facing high center forwards, especially when he was high balls. After several mistakes, he was naturally questioned.

Gao Han also had a very clear understanding of this.

Just as he now has problems with the physical fitness of several international players, Jiang Zhipeng, Fan and Zheng Zhi are potential hidden dangers, but Gao Han only has three substitutions, so he cannot use them all during the halftime break.

Even when the midfield is urgently needed to strengthen, he used Wu Xi, who has better running skills, to replace Gao Lin, and it is impossible for him to substitute the remaining two places, because he must wait until the second half before depending on the situation.

If two places are used directly now, the second half will be too passive.
