Chapter 1182 Poaching from an old friend
Complete victory!
After the Chinese team won Qatar 3-1 at home and won five consecutive victories in the top 12 games, the authoritative party newspaper posted such a title on the cover, but the background was the scene where Zhang Yuning threw away the defensive player at the beginning of the first half, pulled the ball and turned around and pushed the shot.
According to the article, after two weeks of training, Gao Han brought huge changes to the national team, which has been fully demonstrated on the scene, including the improvement of the players' mental outlook and the smoothness of the team's entire offensive system, which are obviously very different from before.
"In addition to the chaos in the last stage of the first half, the national football team firmly suppressed Qatar throughout the game. Not only the final result was satisfactory, but the process of the game was impeccable."
In the whole game, Qatar only got 33% of the ball possession rate, while the Chinese team's ball possession rate was as high as 67%, which itself is enough to prove the national football team's advantage in passing and controlling on the court.
The number of passes and receiving is three times that of Qatar, with a pass success rate of up to 78%, which is much higher than Qatar's 51%, and the number of shots has reached twenty-six times. Qatar has only six times, which is more than four times the gap.
What can better reflect the offensive threat include the number of attacks in the opponent's 30-meter area. The Chinese team has more than 140 times, while Qatar has only a few more times, which is close to ten times the gap. The reason for such a huge gap is that most of the game is played in Qatar's halftime.
Even in terms of corner kicks, the Chinese team has 16 times, while Qatar has only 2 times.
The data may not fully reflect the entire game, but at least it shows the advantage that the Chinese team has in the game very intuitively, allowing everyone to clearly feel the changes of the Chinese team.
It can be said that the Chinese team is obviously more confident than when they played against Syria before, and the offensive routines and means are richer, which is enough to make everyone feel the progress of the Chinese team.
The authoritative party newspaper attributed this change to the coaching team led by Gao Han to the training of players, believing that the top coaches have such strength. Compared with the previous four games, the Chinese team's offensive threat in this game is obviously greater.
"It can be said that this game is a truly high-altitude technical and tactical game. The Chinese team has completely controlled the situation, and Qatar has not created much threat."
But the authoritative party newspaper also issued a reminder that this game also reflected the bottleneck of the international players. The team's overall strength has basically reached the ceiling. If it were not for the limitations of the players' strength, it would have been a massacre last night.
"Through the China-Korea battle, we should see progress, but at the same time we should also see shortcomings. As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles, and five consecutive victories set a good start for us. However, facing the next two hard battles between South Korea and Iran will continue to pose a threat to us. Only by winning these two opponents can we truly step into the World Cup."
The analysis of the authoritative party newspaper is not wrong at all.
After the five games in the first round of the group stage, the Chinese team unexpectedly ranked first in the group with five consecutive victories. Iran was tied by Syria by 0-0 away games, and eventually ranked second in the group by ten. South Korea defeated Uzbekistan 2-1 at home and ranked third with seven points.
Uzbekistan followed closely, with Qatar and Syria ranked last two respectively.
Judging from the current situation, the Chinese team is undoubtedly ahead of the second-place Iran team, as many as five points ahead, but there are still five games in the second round of the game. The five-point lead is not enough to ensure that the Chinese team advances ahead of schedule, especially when they face two strong rivals, South Korea and Iran.
So, the next two games are very critical.

While the authoritative party newspaper praised the national football team, journalists from all walks of life and major media at home and abroad also praised the national football team.
The official FIFA website commented on the game as soon as possible after the game, believing that the Chinese team played the style of a strong team in this game. Gao Han deeply engraved his soul mark in China, and the team has made considerable progress compared to before.
All sectors of society also highly recognize and recommend Gao Han’s coaching in the national team. Football Associations and newspapers in all provinces and cities have published commentary articles, praising the national team’s five consecutive victories, believing that Gao Han has injected the national team with the genes of a strong man.
"The players are obviously still the same group of players, but the competitiveness they show on the court is obviously a world of difference."
"The Chinese team in the top 40s is like a lamb at slaughter, but today's national football team is a crazy dragon crossing the river."
Even overseas media are paying attention to the Chinese team's game.
The most influential Telegraph in the Netherlands published news that Gao Han led the national team to win in an important page on the second day, and also forwarded Gao Han's comments on Zhang Yuning at the post-match press conference.
Gao Han believes that the national team can win successfully this time, which is of great contribution to the full assistance of the Football Association and local governments, especially the strong home court advantage of the Plateau, the Football Association and local governments have provided considerable support.
Gao Han also named Zhang Yuning, who scored twice in this game and was elected the best player in the game. He believed that this center forward who played for Ajax, the Dutch Eredivisie, has made great progress in the past six months.
"Sometimes, I watch him deal with the ball on the court, use of skills, smart running without the ball, especially his strong physical fitness. It's hard for me to imagine that he is only nineteen years old and I'm proud of the Chinese team having such a center."
But Gao Han also said that Zhang Yuning’s current achievements are just the beginning.
"He is only nineteen years old, we should not give him too much pressure and attention. I reminded him, and I also believe that he can handle it well, but I still hope that everyone can try not to influence him. I believe that he still has great potential to explore. In time, he will become a sharp knife on the national football team's forward."
The other one who was specially named and praised by Gao Han was left defender Jiang Zhipeng.
Gao Han believes that he did not deliberately arrange his offense and tended to the left side. In fact, he emphasized that the left and right sides should be properly balanced, but judging from these games, the offense on the left side is obviously more active. Gao Han believes that Jiang Zhipeng's personal ability, especially offense and state, is at a very high level.
“He is an easy player to impress, and I have been very convinced of this since the first time I saw him, so I always had high hopes for him and his performance was surprising.”
"I think he should do his best to maintain his form, and an excellent player should have the ability to maintain a high level for a long time, and I believe he can do that."
Regarding the praise from head coach Gao Han, Jiang Zhipeng said that he was very easy.
"In fact, I know in my heart that I have not met the head coach's requirements yet. His ideas and ideas are too advanced. I still can't fully understand many things. But I am very sure of one thing. He gave me strong self-confidence and made me believe that I can perform better."
"It used to be, now it is, and it will still be in the future."
"He is such a magical coach who can help players continue to break through themselves."
After being asked by Guangzhou media that after Chinatown acquired the Beijing team, the boss behind the scenes Gao Han named Jiang Zhipeng through Chairman Lin Guoping. The Guangzhou Fuli team international said that he had not heard such news, and even had never communicated with Gao Han in this regard in the national team.
"He is a very professional and professional head coach. He always comes at the earliest and leaves the latest. I believe he has a clear distinction between public and private affairs, and he has always believed that our domestic transfers should establish order and become more transparent, so he will not use his power to have some contact with me in private. When we meet, we will only talk about the national team."
Regarding the transfer to the Beijing team, Jiang Zhipeng played Tai Chi and said that he was rich and should not consider these things. But at the same time, he also said that he highly praised the Beijing team's head coach Van Gaal.
"As far as I know, his ability to train players is also very good, and he loves offensive football. I admire the world's top coach like him, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with him one day."
"What? Transfer to Beijing team? No, it may be that he came to Guangzhou Fuli to coach, ha..."
But no matter what, everyone only understands Jiang Zhipeng’s words, that is, showing goodwill.
For a time, domestic public opinion was circulating.
In particular, some fans of the Fuli team began to accuse Gao Han, believing that he was using the power of the national team's head coach to seduce the international players. At the same time, some accused Jiang Zhipeng, believing that he wanted to surrender to Gao Han and take the opportunity to find a backer in the national team.
But soon, Gao Han issued a clarification statement on Weibo, saying that he would not interfere with the specific operation of Beijing Chinatown. As a professional head coach, he clearly distinguishes between official and private affairs. He will never use his position to do private work. If any media spread rumors, it would be a slander of his reputation. He will once again raise legal weapons to protect his rights and interests.
As expected, the hype media have stopped and dared not make rash efforts without evidence.
The Beijing team, which was just acquired by Chinatown, announced a new stadium plan in Beijing, creating a strong momentum in China. Soriano even publicly announced his own business and development plan for the team in the next five years, striving to build Beijing Chinatown into a strong Chinese Super League team within three years and an Asian team within five years.
Everyone is half-believing about such bold words, but one thing is certainly true. Beijing Chinatown has indeed begun to be lucky. In the national team competition in November, the international players performed very well.
Zhang Xizhe is like this in the national team. The Turkish international forward scored a goal, and the two Uzbekistan internationals performed well, but the best one was Augusto of the Brazilian national team.
This foreign player who plays for Beijing Chinatown did not perform well in the Chinese Super League, but his performance in the Brazilian national team was shocking, especially in the past year, he has become the undisputed midfielder at home in the Brazilian national team. Whether the head coach of the national team is his former Dunga or the current Tit, he has high hopes for Augusto.
It is precisely because of his outstanding performance in the Brazilian national team that many people believe that Augusto has a little talent in China and that the Beijing team cannot play all his strength. At the same time, there are also teams from Brazil and the European League who have sent invitations to Beijing Chinatown, hoping to introduce Augusto.
Now, the national team has just finished playing Qatar, Gao Han has just returned to Beijing to prepare for a vacation, and the poaching from Europe has been sent to him.
