Chapter 1118 National Carnival
When Gao Han walked into the press conference, a burst of thunderous applause rang out in the hall.
Even Maldives head coach Herbert, who arrived at the scene earlier than him, stood up from his seat and applauded Gao Han.
This scene surprised Gao Han, but at the same time, he felt very honored. He kept folding his hands and thanked all the media reporters on the scene for their support and encouragement. This made the applause on the scene even more intense.
It's really a complete change!
From the initial weak offense to the current ten-goal victory, the national team's offense has been greatly improved, not only has the team's competitiveness been transformed, but also has firmly locked in the trend of the game.
After Gao Han shook hands with Herbert, he sat down and asked the other party to answer the questions first.
Regarding this game, the Maldives head coach said that his team had already performed very tenaciously, resolved many attacks by the Chinese team and created several opportunities, but unfortunately he was unable to seize it.
"It should be said that this game was as difficult as we had previously guessed. We were very eager to win, but we know that the Chinese team is a very powerful team. They had some trouble before, but now, they have a very magical head coach supervision team."
"I thought last night that if I could be the first person to beat Mr. Gao Han in tonight's game, it would have been the most honorable thing in my life, but it turned out that it could only exist in my imagination."
Herbert's candor made everyone laugh.
There are many head coaches who want to defeat Gao Han, but there is still no head coach who can defeat Gao Han.
Regarding China's performance and qualifying prospects, Herbert said that the Chinese team is very strong and the league level is very high. He is satisfied that the Maldives can show his own level when playing against such a team. As for whether the Chinese national football team can qualify from this group next, Herbert said that he will look at the last game.
"I firmly believe that Mr. Gao Han will definitely not disappoint people, he will bring good luck to China."
Gao Han first thanked Herbert for his praise. He said that the Maldives is a very tenacious team. In this game, they had many main players and did not play away with the team. This led to some problems and was one of the reasons why the national team was able to win a big victory.
"In fact, before the game, I did not give too many requests to the players. I just told them to let go of their hands and feet, let go of their hearts, and enjoy the football to the fullest. I just want the process and don't have the result, but it turns out that it is precisely so that we finally won a hearty victory."
Gao Han didn't think so in his heart. He couldn't not want results, but when he faced the players, he did constantly relieve stress. He even told all players that as long as the process was played well, he would be satisfied no matter any result. But if the process was not played well, he would not be satisfied even if the result was good.
"I just reported the game data to all the players in the locker room. We created forty-five shots. I have not counted this data, but it should be the game with the most shots in recent years. I scored ten goals and had good efficiency. But more importantly, most of our goals were scored in sports battles and teamwork."
"And we completed more than 800 passes throughout the game. Maybe everyone has no idea about this data, but what I want to say is that I am very satisfied with it. I think our players have basically played the requirements in this period of training and played what I want."
"Of course, we must also be aware that this big victory has passed, our opponents are not strong, and there are several main players who have not been able to participate in the competition, and we are playing at home, so I don't think there is anything worth boasting about the ten-to-zero score. This is just that we can play at the level of the team normally."
Regarding the team's offense, Gao Han said he is still further crafting.
"As I said before, many players performed well in the club, but did not perform half of the club's level in the national team. My team and the players in the team are working hard to solve this problem. We have a group of outstanding offensive players, such as Gao Lin, Wu Lei, Yu Hanchao, Yu Dabao, etc., who are all capable of representing the national team."
"I have always believed that if you can be selected into the national team, you don't need to doubt the strength of every player. All I need to consider is how to use them well, integrate them into a whole, and let them play their strongest side."
Gao Han first gave positive comments to the central defender Zhao Jun who played the whole game for the first time for the national team. After all, he scored twice and broke the deadlock and made great contributions. However, Gao Han also pointed out some problems that Zhao Jun had on the defensive end, such as sometimes being too aggressive and prone to lose his position.
"Next, I will communicate with him about this matter well, and I hope he can get rid of this problem as soon as possible."
Gao Han said he was very familiar with several players in Chinatown.
"Maybe everyone has forgotten that my chief assistant coach Xiao Mu was the head coach of Chinatown II team in the past, and these players have played under his command before. He knows them very well. These players have all played as the main players in the second team. You can go and see the standings of the Spanish third-level league. Chinatown II team is currently ranked first, and the possibility of advancing to the Spanish Second League next season is very high, and these four players are currently following the first team to train."
"What I want to say is that I arranged for them to play not because they are Chinese City players, but because they have enough strength and potential. They did not disappoint me in this game. I firmly believe that the four of them will be the humeral generals of the national team in the future."
But as for the next game of Qatar, Gao Han said that he had not yet thought about whether these four players would continue to play.
This is also a strategy he had formulated before, to examine young players through the Maldives, but when it comes to strong dialogue, he must carefully select whether it is the lineup or the bench player.
What's more, he believes that the performance of the thirty minutes tonight, especially the last ten minutes, with the support of the skill card, will definitely be very exciting to the players in the team and will also be of great help to their future growth.

…………
With a ten-goal victory in the first game, Gao Han's national team really made a big splash.
That night, the live broadcast of China TV set a record for the highest viewing ratings of the national football team in nearly a decade. Before the game was over, the national Internet was completely in a carnival.
Countless fans were so excited that they danced with joy, and everyone was celebrating the national team's victory wildly.
In his post-match summary commentary, the famous domestic football commentator, Director Zhang, said that Gao Han's coaching has brought a new spiritual outlook to the national football team and also brought refreshing tactics.
"According to post-match statistics, more than 800 passes have allowed the national football team to firmly lock in their advantage on the field, but more importantly, it is reflected in some details, especially on the offensive end, we finally played a threatening ground cooperation."
"Gao Lin, Hao Junmin, Zhang Xi, Zheng Zhi and other international players with outstanding technical capabilities have all returned to the national team, and under Gao Han's training, they all played in a very good state. It can be said that Gao Han successfully activated the national team's offense, which is far more meaningful than defeating the Maldives ten to zero."
Not only that, Director Zhang also admired Gao Han's bold arrangement of Zhao Jun, believing that Chinatown's central defender was the biggest discovery of the national team in this game, and the four players of Chinatown brought great surprises to the national football team.
"In fact, what really made me hope was the last twenty minutes of the game. After Wang Lei appeared, the midfield was sorted out in an orderly manner, and long passes and short passes created threats many times. The midfielder formed with Zhang Xi and Hao Junmin was also full of control, creating endless offensive opportunities for the frontcourt."
"Although Yang Xin and Gao Ren are both young, their appearances are extremely common in Chinatown, but they are extremely rare in the national team. These young players in Chinatown have brought me a huge impact."
"The most obvious point is that they dare to get the ball, pass the ball, and make moves on the court. This is better than the national football players, and it also allows us to see the strength gap between the best players in China and European players. But in turn, we also see the strength and level of Chinatown youth training."
In addition to Coach Zhang singing praises to the performance of the national football team, many domestic professionals also highly praised the performance of the national football team in this game, and the focus is on the players' mental outlook and changes in skills and tactics.
"What impressed me the most in this game was the team's offensive and defensive transition, especially the so-called golden ten seconds."
"As we all know, Gao Han has always attached great importance to high-level pressing and pressure and pass control. The ball control rate is obvious, but few people know that Gao Han attaches great importance to the ten seconds after losing the ball and the ten seconds after grabbing the ball."
"In the previous national team, I often pointed out that the performance of the international players after grabbing the ball and conceding the ball was not satisfactory, but this game was impressive. Gao Han's coaching changed the efficiency and speed of the national football team's offense and defense conversion, which gave us real hope."
Even the authoritative Chinese News Agency in China published an editorial at the first time, commenting on the national football team's ten-goal victory, highly praised the transformation brought to the national football team after Gao Han's coaching, and believed that this game was the normal performance of the national team's players' strength.
"This big victory really makes us proud, but we must also be clear-headed that the situation of qualifying is still not optimistic. We must not only defeat Qatar in five days, but also look at the faces of others, especially the results of teams such as the UAE, North Korea and Iraq, so that we can determine whether to qualify."
"But Gao Han's words after the game showed his calmness and rationality at this moment. He said that it is meaningless to talk about qualifying now. The key is how to play the last game against Qatar. Only by playing this game well, and when it is over, then look back and calculate the complex qualifying situation."
The Chinese News also highly praised Gao Han in his comments, believing that at the critical moment, he rekindled hope for Chinese football, but at the same time he also called on fans to remain calm and rational, look at it objectively, and not to put too much pressure on Gao Han and the national football team.
But how is this possible?
There was a carnival on the Internet, and countless fans applauded. They had not enjoyed such a big victory in more than ten years.
I believe that this victory will not only cheer domestic fans, but will also attract the attention of all Asia and even the world.
The most funny thing is a fan on Weibo. He bets of 500,000 yuan in China Sports Lottery and scored more than four goals. This was made fun of by many people before the game. No one believed that the national football team could win a big score.
But the facts prove that the Chinese national football team is finally no longer disappointing.
Chapter completed!
