Chapter 1175 Lore
If there were no accidents, this should be Feng Xiaoting's last World Cup attempt.
From the very beginning, he knew this very well.
He admires Zheng Zhi very much, but it is difficult to guarantee that he can play to Zheng Zhi's age. The player's career is always full of various force majeure factors. Sometimes even he cannot be sure of it himself, but it is precisely because of this that he tries his best every game. He hopes that he can leave no regrets in his career.
But unexpectedly, his experience in the top 40 match made him feel a blow.
Under Perrin's leadership, the national team performed poorly. In the key points-grabbing battles, they not only failed to win the weak team, but instead lost points repeatedly and missed the excellent opportunity to qualify. In the end, the national team had completely lost confidence and people's hearts were disintegrated to the extreme.
At that time, Feng Xiaoting also felt that his career would probably be like this. He would probably have to take the blame for the national team for the rest of his life and would not be able to be cleaned up until he retired.
Outsiders simply cannot understand the mood of the international players at that time, as well as the uneasy emotions in the team, and the pressure accumulated over the years have made the international players who have little advantage in their own strength overwhelmed.
Just when everyone was almost in despair and all the head coaches were far away from the national team coach, Gao Han took the initiative to extend an olive branch. As the legendary coach with the best performance in the world, Gao Han resolutely bet on his life's honor and disgrace and took over the national team coach.
This caused a stir in the national team at that time, and everyone wondered if they had heard it wrong.
It was not until Gao Han appeared in front of them that the international players began to believe that this thing that he didn't dare to dream of actually happened, and they all began to admire and be grateful for Gao Han's courage to take over this mess.
After taking office, Gao Han made drastic reforms, not only repealing many of the national team's stubborn problems, but also bravely stood at the forefront of the limelight, shifting all the pressure of public opinion to himself. The most typical example is that before the game against Syria not long ago, he accused the media of inciting public opinion in person.
Tell media reporters?
This is probably something that no rational person would want to do, but Gao Han did it. Why?
He just wanted to divert the topic and remove everyone's attention from the national team.
Sure enough, soon, news about Gao Han using his power to secretly help Chinatown embezzle state assets was in turmoil. This was revenge from the media, but Gao Han resisted the pressure alone and still led the team to train in an orderly manner every day.
According to the coaching staff, the media's combat firepower is far inferior to that of Europe.
It is obvious that Gao Han did a lot of such things when he coached in European football.
It is difficult to know outside that the international players are grateful and respectful to Gao Han.
Everyone was not surprised that he was able to lead the team to advance from the top 40s, because many people at that time felt that even if Perrin stayed, the possibility of qualifying was still not small, but being able to defeat South Korea and Iran and win two consecutive victories allowed Gao Han to completely conquer the international players and make them believe that he has the ability to lead the team to win.
But it was not until before the game against Syria that Gao Han really received respect from all the international players.
He is a real man!
In the national team, anyone is willing to play for him, even if he only comes on the bench for a few minutes, everyone will do their best.
Every person who plays football has a bloody nature in his heart. If even a head coach like Gao Han is unwilling to do his best to play for him, everyone will look down on him.
Feng Xiaoting is naturally no exception, and he even feels it deeper, because he not only plays football for Gao Han, but also plays football for himself.
Only by cooperating with Gao Han and doing his best to help the national team enter the World Cup can he wash away the blame for more than ten years, and only then can he bravely tell everyone that as a national player, he finally helped the Chinese team enter the World Cup.
Although many people joked that he was a joke player in the national team, in fact, he also had his own persistence and perseverance.
So, when the opportunity arose, even if he tried his best and was exhausted, Feng Xiaoting gritted his teeth and rushed forward with a big stride. He didn't know if this would be the last chance in this game.
He even more unaware of what he would miss if he missed this opportunity.
He could no longer afford to bet, even if he was kicked and his leg broke, he would attack him this time.
…………
…………
"There was omission in Uzbekistan's defense, and no one went up to grab Feng Xiaoting as soon as possible."
"Feng Xiao put the ball forward by himself, and the speed was quite fast."
"Uzbekistan's defense is retreating rapidly. We see that the two centers in the frontcourt are following the opponent's defense line and are advancing quickly. Zhang Yuning and Gao Lin are the two major offensive high points in the frontcourt. Let's see what Feng Xiaoting will do this time."
"On the right, he passed it straight to the right."
"Zhang Yuning pulled to the right, and the opponent's left defender Denisov just pressed forward to attack, and there was a gap on the right side."
"I grabbed the first landing point and Zhang Yuning headed the ball back."
"Gao Lin received the ball, led it to the middle, got rid of the defensive player, and passed it across the penalty area..."
"The Chinese team has a chance..."
"Wu Lei, who was still defending in his half just now, got in at this time..."
"Wu Lei caught up with the ball..."
"The ball is in!!!"
"In the 83rd minute, in the 83rd minute, the Chinese team finally took advantage of a counterattack opportunity to knock on the goal of Uzbekistan. Gao Lin assisted Wu Lei to score the only goal so far."
"What a wonderful counterattack!"
"The Chinese team finally broke the deadlock on the court!"
...
After Wu Lei scored a single goal, he was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium quickly and rushed to the bottom of the stands of the Chinese team fans who were coming to the away game. A beautiful slid kneeling directly slid to the bottom of the stands.
Behind him, the international players rushed up quickly and surrounded him one by one. Even Yu Han Dynasty, who had just run out to warm up, rushed over and hugged him, and everyone was celebrating for no reason.
...
"It's been eighty-three minutes. The Chinese team missed the opportunity to score in the first half, and then struggled to last until 83 minutes. Now he finally found the opportunity, and Wu Lei finally seized this rare single shot."
"Looking back on the entire goal process, Uzbekistan made an error that should not have been made. There was no defense around Feng Xiaoting. He dribbled the ball forward and moved his big foot to the frontcourt."
"Zhang Yuning is worthy of being the number one center of the national team trusted by Gao Han. Although he missed a one-on-one goal in the first half, this time he calmly pulled to the right, grabbed the first landing point, and headed the ball back to Gao Lin."
"After Gao Lin got rid of the defensive player, he gave Wu Lei a very wonderful cross, which helped Wu Lei directly form a single shot."
"But the most surprising thing is Wu Lei, who just participated in the midfield defense in his halftime, but who would have thought that the game had been going on for 83 minutes, but he was still able to directly throw away the defender who was chasing back at such a rapid speed and seize this one-on-one opportunity."
"In this regard, we have to admit that Wu Lei is indeed the sharpest sharp knife among domestic strikers."
…………
…………
Gao Han was on the sidelines. The moment he saw Wu Lei scored, he couldn't help but jumped up from the ground.
Too excited! Too relieved!
He miscalculated because he thought that the opportunity would not come so early. He had doubts about whether the international players could grasp it, but in the end, all of this surprised him.
But he was ecstatic about his miscalculation, and even he wanted such miscalculation to be more. This at least means that the national players are working hard and the national team's strength is improving.
Behind him, Xiao Mu and the coaching staff were also cheering excitedly.
The goal at this time almost means that the Chinese team has already grabbed three-pointers with one hand and the start of four consecutive victories is absolutely fantastic for the Chinese team, and it is definitely something that everyone cannot believe. This will make Gao Han's reputation reach an unprecedented height.
Who would have thought that half a year ago, this team, which was beaten by a weak team in the top 40s, would tenaciously defend Uzbekistan's strong attack away and took advantage of one opportunity to fight a fatal counterattack?
The players are basically the same group of players, but the competitiveness they show is completely different.
This is the role of high cold!
But Gao Han quickly calmed down, and he quickly shouted at the international players celebrating on the sidelines, making them all come closer.
"At this time, we must be calm. Uzbekistan will definitely counterattack wildly. We must do our best to stabilize the situation and just like our previous defense. Do you understand?" Gao Han shouted vigorously.
The international players shouted in unison, "I understand!"
Soon, Gao Han called Yu Han Dynasty over again and apologized to him, saying that at this time, he really could not replace people. The latter could understand Gao Han's arrangements and said that as long as the national team could win, he would always wait for Gao Han's arrangements.
…………
…………
After the game restarted, Uzbekistan, who was behind by one goal, launched a crazy offensive.
They had already lost to Iran in their last home court. If they lost to China at home, their home goal-grabbing strategy would be declared a failure, which would be an unacceptable ending for Uzbekistan.
Babayan quickly used up his last substitution and replaced him with a forward, obviously to further strengthen the offensive in the frontcourt.
But the Chinese team also followed Gao Han's arrangements and retreated. In addition, Gao Han directly used the confrontation card and defensive card to form a combination card effect of iron walls and steel walls, strengthening the team's defense in the middle and backcourts, and did not give Uzbekistan any chance.
The game time passed by minute by minute, and Uzbekistan seemed to have gained the upper hand, but it never found an opportunity to effectively send the ball into the penalty area, let alone create a threat.
Even after 88 minutes, even the Uzbekistan goalkeeper boldly overwhelmed the center line. The whole team showed a determination to go all out, and he was very imposing to not stop until he captured the Chinese team goal.
The referee gave a five-minute stoppage time decision, which undoubtedly gave Uzbekistan new hope.
After stoppage time, Gao Han immediately made a substitution, replaced Zhang Yuning, who had exhausted his physical energy, replaced him with the Yu Han Dynasty, and pulled Gao Lin back to the middle road, and Yu Han Dynasty went up to the right road.
At the same time, Gao Han also used the remaining four skill cards, hoping to use threatening counterattacks to force Uzbekistan to slow down the offensive. In fact, the Chinese team subsequently made a very threatening long-range shot.
Because the opponent's goalkeeper was too pressed, Gao Lin had a chance to shoot at the empty goal at a very long distance, but unfortunately, he slightly broke out the post.
After this shot, Uzbekistan was also discouraged.
Chapter completed!
