"China TV Station, this is China TV Station."

"Welcome to watch the group stage of the top 40 Group C of the 2018 Russian World Cup Asian Qualifiers."

"We are conducting a live broadcast for everyone at Wuhan Sports Center."

"Tonight, our Chinese national team will usher in the seventh game of Group C here, with the opponent being the Maldives."

"This is also the first game that our newly appointed national team head coach Gao Han coached. He officially took over the Chinese national team at the end of January. He has only had a two-week training camp so far. It should be said that the task is heavy, but the time is very tight."

"We can also see that the Wuhan Sports Center, which accommodates 60,000 fans, was packed. Fans from all over the country gathered in Wuhan. Many fans played slogans to bless Gao Han and the Chinese national football team in the stands."

"In the past decade, Gao Han has been coaching in the top European leagues and has achieved results that are admired by the world. He is known as the number one head coach in the world, and is also regarded as the pride of Chinese fans. He has carried the hope of leading the national team to the World Cup. This game will be his premiere after taking over the national team."

"The current situation in Group C is extremely unfavorable to China. Qatar has advanced early. China is currently ranked third. Even if we win all the last two games and the ranking goes to second, we still have to compete with the second place in the other seven groups. The four best-scoring groups can only advance."

"So, for this game, everyone believes that we not only have to win, but also strive for as much goal difference as possible. But we must also see that this is the first game after Gao Hanchuchu took over the national team. We should give him more patience and believe that with his ability, he will definitely help the national team improve his strength."

"At the press conference before the game, Gao Han repeatedly emphasized that for this game, he only had one task to the players, that is, to achieve the effect of the past two training sessions."

...

"Okay, we've seen two teams step out of the court under the leadership of the referee."

"After the team is the head coach of the Chinese national team, Gao Han."

"Haha, the head coach of the Maldives looked a little excited, and stood at the exit of the player passage waiting to meet Gao Han. He said at the pre-match press conference that he is a big fan of Gao Han and now he can't wait. Gao Han also showed his host's demeanor, and the fans at the scene even gave warm applause."

"Gao Han also walked to the visiting team coaching seat and shook hands with the visiting team coaching staff one by one. The fans also had a very good impression of Gao Han, and the whole audience was calling Gao Han's name."

"This is the world's top coach! He is also the pride of Chinese football!"

...

"We have already got the big roster of the Chinese national team in this game."

"The goalkeeper is Zeng Cheng, and the defense line is Jiang Zhipeng, Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Jun and Fan, and only three midfielders are Zhang Xi, Zheng Zhi and Hao Junmin, and the front court is Yu Han Dynasty, Gao Lin and Wu Lei."

"From the current list, Gao Han's ranks out a 433 formation, which is very rare in the national team's competition, but it has always been the best-for-format style that Gao Han is good at. It is said that the national team has been practicing the array in the past two training periods. Let's see if it can be effective now."

"It is worth mentioning that from the roster, the full-backs are both strong offense and weak defense, while the midfield is the main control, which is also Gao Han's usual characteristic. The only surprising thing is Zhao Jun of the central defender. This is a young central defender who just turned 18 and has played many times in Chinatown this season. He has played four games in the Copa del Rey and has performed quite well."

"It can be seen that Gao Han admires Zhao Jun very much, and there are three young players from Chinatown, Yang Xin, Wang Lei and Gao Ren, who are also sitting on the bench. We are looking forward to whether Gao Han can bring us surprises and changes."

…………

…………

With the referee's whistle, the Maldives took the lead in kicking off.

The Chinese football players quickly put pressure forward, with the trident leading in the field, and three midfielders and four defenders on the defense line pressing on each other at the same time. In a blink of an eye, the Maldives made a long pass to transfer, but the ball was pushed down by Feng Xiaoting and passed to Zheng Zhi.

Captain Zheng Zhi immediately raised his right hand as soon as he took the ball. Everyone on the field immediately knew that this was a signal to stabilize.

Gao Han just made a key point in the locker room, keep his position steady, take his time, be familiar with the rhythm of the game, and don’t rush to score a goal.

"Do you still remember to walk the monkeys? Be focused, patient, and calm. When the other party presses, you can imagine them as the monkey teammates in the circle, don't be afraid."

"Travel more, pass more, and respond more. Always remember the array in your mind, keep the three lines rigorous, pay attention to the distance between each other, and don't be cut off by your opponent, respond to each other, and cooperate with each other to protect them."

"Remember, football matches are natural and you must not be in a hurry."

The mobilization in the locker room did not have any inspiring incitement, but only repeated warnings and reminders.

It was reflected on the court that after the Chinese national football players grabbed the ball less than twenty seconds into the game, they quickly slowed down and passed it patiently.

The Maldives, who lost the ball, immediately launched a counter-attack, and the Chinese national football team soon made a pass and catch mistake. After being intercepted by the Maldives, they quickly counterattacked with the fast break from the left and directly passed the ball to the front of the penalty area. However, Chinese goalkeeper Zeng Cheng made a decisive attack and directly intercepted the ball. Before the opponent's forward pressed, it was transferred to Zhao Jun who returned to defense.

Although this counterattack failed to pose a threat, it still made the Chinese fans on the court frightened.

Too thrilling!

If this ball had not been attacked by Zeng Cheng, it would have been a one-on-one strike.

But how could he attack so far?

"Hey, it doesn't matter, it's just a mistake. Stay calm, keep your mind calm." Gao Han shouted loudly from the sidelines.

In fact, this pace is already very slow, but under the pressing of the Maldives, the national football team still made mistakes in passing and receiving the ball. This is not only because the basic skills are not as good as those of the European top league teams, but more importantly, because they have never played such tactical styles in daily life, and they are not adaptable and lack confidence in their hearts.

After two national team competitions, Gao Han’s biggest feeling was that the national players were too unconfident.

This is more fatal than basic skills on the court, because you are always worried about gains and losses, and you are always unable to make timely and correct decisions.

Let me ask, if Messi is always worried on the court, how much strength can he play?

One of the important reasons for the two completely different levels of international players in clubs and in national teams is psychology, and what causes players to have this mentality is precisely the weakness of the national team in the past decade.

After so many years of professionalism, Gao Han would definitely not believe that Chinese football has not improved, especially the training and skills brought by high-level foreign coaches over the years, which is obvious to the improvement of the international players.

With the current national team's strength, even if it is not as good as Asian teams such as South Korea and Japan, no matter how they are, they will not be able to play in Hong Kong, China. Bhutan and the Maldives are so hard. The only explanation is that they are playing football with heavy shackles.

But soon, the Chinese team made a mistake in the frontcourt cooperation. When Gao Lin passed back, his teammates did not run to the gap in time, which caused the ball to be cut off by the Maldives and quickly formed a fast attack. Fortunately, Zhao Jun dragged it in the end and entangled the opponent, forcing the opponent to directly form a long shot outside the penalty area.

"It's okay, don't take it to heart. Everyone is doing a good job and continue to play like they did just now."

"Everyone runs, runs open spaces, think about your usual training."

After saying that, Gao Han turned his head and looked at the fans in the stands, dancing his hands hard, hoping that they would all shout and cheer up the players in the team.

As early as at the press conference before the game, Gao Han appealed to the media, saying that this was his first national team game since he coached, and he hoped that all fans would be more tolerant of the international players.

"Missions are inevitable, but I hope everyone can see more positive progress and stop staring at our mistakes. It is best to give us more encouragement and support."

Gao Han's appeal was responded to by fans, and fans gradually sang the national anthem in the stands.

At the beginning, the sound was still a little weak, but gradually, the singing became louder and louder, spreading throughout every corner of the stadium.

Gao Han also stood on the sidelines, constantly calling out to the players, constantly reminding them to improve some of their problems on the court.

Finally, after more than ten minutes of running-in, although the Maldives had three threatening counterattacks, the national team began to gradually stabilize their position, and the passing and receiving cooperation and the rhythm of the game were gradually controlled.

The strength advantage is there, and it is really a bit slow to control the overall situation until now.

Xiao Mu shook his head behind him. He believed that not only him, but everyone in the coaching staff must be speechless.

Such a set of tactical playing styles can be quickly used in Chinatown's second team, but when it comes to the national football team, it has been practiced repeatedly for two or three weeks, but the result is still not good, and there are too many passes and catches.

Like Gao Han, his impression is that basic skills are second, and the biggest problem lies in his psychology.

But heart disease also requires heart medicine. It takes time to get rid of this heart disease.

After the national football team stabilized its position, the Maldives began to shrink and defend intensively. At this time, the problem of slow passing and receiving speed of the national team was exposed. From the fifteenth to twenty-fiveth minutes, it completely gained the advantage on the field, but never created a threat.

Gao Han has called on the players to speed up appropriately, but once they speed up, they make more mistakes in passing and receiving. Once they make a mistake, the players on the field immediately become conservative and their speed decreases again.

Just when Gao Han felt a headache, the central defender Zhao Jun, who had been squatting in the backcourt, suddenly rushed forward and intercepted the ball in the middle before the opponent's forward received the ball.

Zhao Jun's sudden force caused the situation on the court to change suddenly.

After seeing this central defender of Chinatown intercepted the ball, he did not hand it over to his teammates, but instead drove the ball forward by himself, and the speed was still very fast.

The Maldives were shocked and retreated quickly, and the national football team also decisively stepped forward.

Zhao Jun dribbled the ball across the center line and entered the 30-meter area of ​​the Maldives. He passed the ball directly to the ground and sent the ball to the feet of the center striker Gao Lin who was retreating in the frontcourt. After finally stopping the ball, the latter passed the ball to the left rib and handed it to Yu Hanchao.

Yu Hanchao took the ball and passed it to the left. At this time, the left back Jiang Zhipeng had already come to the side. After receiving the ball, he looked at the penalty area and happened to see Zhao Jun raise his right hand to ask for the ball. The Maldives' defensive attention was all on Gao Lin and Wu Lei.

So, without thinking, Jiang Zhipeng swung his left foot and passed it through.
Chapter completed!
