Ten minutes into the game, he conceded two goals in a row. As long as Syria is not stupid, he knows that he must be determined and strictly guarded.

After consecutive goals, the Chinese team also began to slow down its offensive.

This is Gao Han’s requirement before the game. As long as he scores a goal at the beginning, he will be closed after ten minutes, whether it is one or two goals. The advantage of this is to reduce the player’s consumption and prepare for the next away game.

Syria's overall strength is indeed not as strong as the Chinese team, and the players' personal abilities are not strong, which directly makes it difficult for them to launch a threatening attack even if they get the opportunity to counterattack.

The reason why this national team, which is deeply involved in civil war, can break out from the top 40s and draw South Korea in Malaysia is more due to their strict defensive system and excellent tactical disciplines across the team.

After conceding two goals in a row, they also got rid of the chaos of the start and quickly organized an orderly defense.

This led to the Chinese team firmly locking in the game throughout the first half, and the ball possession rate was as high as 69%, setting a new high since Gao Han coached. At the same time, there were 35 attacks into the 30-meter area of ​​Syria, which shows that the team's pass and cut penetration is still very effective.

Wang Lei replaced Zheng Zhi in this game and performed very stably. He contributed a corner assist at the beginning. The second goal also came from his big-foot transfer planning. After that, he also planned a threatening attack many times, but failed to score.

Judging from the data in the first half, the Chinese team played more active on both sides. The left wing formed by Jiang Zhipeng and Yang Xin, and the right wing formed by Zhao Mingjian and Gao Ren all played the threat they should have. The two wings occupied 86% of the team's attack into the opponent's 30-meter area, which was indeed a bit surprising.

It also comes from the activity of the two sides, but instead makes Gao Han realize the weakness of the middle.

Mainly after Syria concealed all three lines in the 30-meter area of ​​the team to defend, it was difficult for the Chinese team to play their advantages, especially the pass and cut cooperation and running without the ball, which were effectively restricted. On the contrary, the physical weakness of young players in the frontcourt was exposed, which also led to the team's offensive but not a big threat.

Fortunately, Gao Han was not in a hurry to lead the two goals.

But what made Gao Han happy was that when the team pressed forward and the ball control area advanced to the opponent's 30-meter front, on the one hand, the success rate of passing and receiving in the frontcourt was high, and the formation was no longer arranged like before, but the result was frequent passing and receiving mistakes, resulting in the opponent's counterattack.

This has a lot to do with the running of the frontcourt players. After all, if you can run out of the gap, you will naturally have fewer passes and catch mistakes.

Another gratifying change comes from the defense line, where both Zhao Jun and Feng Xiaoting assumed the role of the ball point.

The central defender's ball play can be said to be the mainstream trend in world football in recent years, and it is also a must-have for a team that focuses on passing and controlling. Zhao Jun himself is a striker, so there is no need to mention his fine feet. Feng Xiaoting's ball play ability is also very good, and he is very stable, and it is very compatible with the brave but somewhat reckless Zhao Jun.

This also made Gao Han realize that this might be a direction worth exploring.

"Syria's defense is very distinctive. If we hadn't caught them off guard at the start of the game, it would have been not so easy to win this game."

Assistant coach Xiao Mu stood aside and said with gratitude.

Judging from the performance of the entire first half, Syria is indeed not weak, with poor counterattack ability, but its defense is quite good. No wonder it can tie the South Korean team with zero to zero in Malaysia.

"It is mainly the position during defense and the coordination between players. It is particularly noteworthy..." Gao Han pointed at the court. A Syrian defensive player was following Zhang Yuning, who pulled to the left to catch the ball and took it one-on-one with the opponent.

"It is obvious that they quickly learned from their second goal conceded, and the distance was maintained very well, and they did not give Zhang Yuning a chance to get rid of it easily. Although this has the effect of targeted tactics, their usual training also contributed to it."

In defense, it is very important to maintain a suitable distance. Too close, it is easy to be removed and too far, and it gives the opponent space and time to handle the ball. Therefore, according to different players' characteristics, maintaining the most suitable defensive distance is a lesson.

Even to a certain extent, this is worth learning and reference by national football players.

To be honest, even if it is a bus, the effect will be completely different for different people to show it.

Gao Han has been watching the Chinese Super League for a while, but found that many domestic head coaches have no purpose and no core strategy. Even the defense is unruly and rely solely on the number of people to make up. After the defense is successful, it is the most inefficient and the most outdated one.

How can defense be as simple as gathering the number of players?

"If there were no two goals at the start, it would be really difficult to win Syria in this game." Gao Han said with gratitude.

…………

…………

With two goals leading into the halftime break, Gao Han praised the international players in the locker room, and encouraged them to continue to work hard, and immediately adjusted the tactics of the second half.

This time Gao Han was directly used in the Han Dynasty to replace Hao Junmin.

Everyone knows that Hao Junmin is Gao Han's favorite player. His performance in this game is average, but it is mainly from Gao Han's instructions. After the team leads, the main players are restrained and play with the main players, with the main focus on being safe. They must reserve some strength to deal with the next away game against Uzbekistan.

The midfielder replaced him for this purpose.

After Yu Han Dynasty took the field, Gao Han adjusted the lineup, allowing Yu Han Dynasty to play on the left, Yang Xin switched to the right, Gao Ren moved to the middle, and the team was still 433, Gao Ren was in the middle, and Wang Lei and Huang Baiwen still dragged the back and stood in the back.

This time, Gao Han also wanted to send a signal to the players, don't be too nervous, and have two goals in hand, as long as nothing unexpected happens, this game can basically be won.

As it turned out, after the substitution in the second half, the Chinese team began to open up in the middle.

Gao Ren's ability to take and dribble in the middle, especially his ability to push forward, was still shown.

Especially at the beginning of the second half, Gao Ren got the ball away in the midfield and passed two people in a row and sent the ball into the penalty area. When Zhang Yuning almost scored, everyone was shocked, and Syria was probably shocked and sweated in a cold sweat.

Later, he strengthened his strict defense against Gao Ren, with many small moves, but he also made many fouls. Although he was more fouls in the area away from the goal, the Chinese team still obtained many free kick opportunities in the frontcourt, causing a lot of trouble for Syria's defense.

This also gave Gao Han another possibility, that is, let Gao Ren come back to play the middle lane.

Yang Xin is a left-footed player. Although he has been practicing his right foot, he can only shoot at most. If his flexibility is still far less than that of his left foot, but Gao Ren is different. He is very proficient in both left and right feet. Not only can he be skilled in dribbling the ball, but he is also very threatening.

More importantly, the characteristics of these two players are also different. Yang Xin is fast, has sufficient explosive power, good physical fitness, and is not short. He is still in the development stage, but he has grown to nearly 1.8 meters. On the other hand, Gao Ren is short and has weak physical strength. He is only less than 1.7 meters tall, but his feet are very thin, and he can hardly throw the ball at his feet.

Therefore, Syria's defensive players can only deal with him as fouls.

Judging from the current situation, Yang Xin’s characteristics are very obvious and the development trend is also very obvious, that is, the side road.

But Gao Ren is not so sure. He can play on the side or the middle, and he has good performances. He can only choose to take one step at a time, observe it slowly, and cultivate it slowly.

…………

…………

As the second half of the game progressed, the Chinese team gradually exposed some problems.

Syria finally launched a very threatening counterattack.

After the opponent's wing player Mavas dribbled the ball on the left, he forced himself to break through the young player Wang Lei, and cut inside and forced into the penalty area. When facing the young player Zhao Jun, he suddenly passed the triangle back to his teammate who followed him in the back row.

At the critical moment, Feng Xiaoting suddenly threw away the defensive player behind him and rushed out of the diagonal stab. Before the opponent followed, he directly slipped the ball and broke the ball out of the penalty area. Jiang Zhipeng, who followed him, immediately cleared the ball with his big feet.

Everyone in the entire court was shocked and sweated.

If the opponent grabs the ball, it will be a single shot, and you can score a goal with just one shot.

Feng Xiaoting climbed up from the ground, slapped off the grass scraps on his body, and shouted to Wang Lei who apologized: "Remember, don't get close to him easily, just entangle him, we are behind us."

Wang Lei nodded quickly, he was indeed a little rash.

In the defense just now, he could have chosen to be stuck in the inside and follow the opponent, but the opponent obviously knew this, so he kept approaching him, and he finally couldn't help but rush forward.

As a result, as soon as the two of them touched each other, Wang Lei knew that it was miserable. He was led by the other party to fall to the ground and was in a mess.

After all, he is only eighteen years old and his physical fitness is far less powerful than the opponent's adult players.

On the sidelines, Gao Han was also a little surprised when facing the sudden mistake on the court. This should be Wang Lei’s only major mistake so far in this game, and it also exposed the problems and weaknesses of young players.

Fortunately, Syria is not strong, so if it were Iran or South Korea, it would be impossible to defend this time.

Soon, he immediately made a substitution, replaced Jiang Zhipeng with Ren Xing, strengthening the defense on the left. At the same time, the team also began to retreat, focusing on stability. After all, the game was in this regard, and two goals, or even one goal, was enough.

What Gao Han should consider most now is how to defeat Uzbekistan in the next away game after he won this game steadily.

When the game reached the 75th minute, Gao Han made the last substitution of the game, replacing Zhang Yuning with center Gao Lin.

This popular international player who played for Ajax and had scored four goals in the Eredivisie League gave an assist in this game. Although he had obtained many opportunities in the rest of the time, he failed to seize it.

However, the overall performance is still quite good, especially in the frontcourt, he frequently pulled to the wing to catch the ball, supporting his teammates' attack, showing the role that a strong center should have, and let everyone see that he does have the strength to serve as the chief center of the Chinese team.

After consecutive substitutions, the Chinese team's intention to defend the victory was already very clear.

Syria launched a strong attack in the last ten minutes, while the Chinese team turned to the defensive counterattack. As a result, Syria failed to gain a advantage. Instead, the Chinese team got several good counterattacks, and Yang Xin missed a very good scoring opportunity.

In the end, with two goals from Zhao Jun and Gao Ren, the Chinese team defeated Syria 2-0 at home and won three consecutive victories.
