"How about it?"

After Li Tie approached, Gao Han asked with concern.

"Iran has arrived in China and will come to the outfield of the Olympic Sports Center in the afternoon for training." Li Tiehui reported, "This time they came on an Iranian military plane."

"The specifications are quite high." Sergio Garcia laughed.

There are two training grounds in the outfield of the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center. The Chinese team uses one of them, and Iran will use the other. Unlike the Chinese team who can enter the infield training as the host, Iran will only get an opportunity to adapt to the field training one day before the game.

"This time after Iran arrived in Chenyang, he went directly to a special passage, so neither the media reporter nor the fans intercepted them. I received the news that their work in the hotel was done quite well and the logistics support was very complete."

Gao Han nodded. Queiros was a famous European coach and coached Iran for five years. This level is certainly available.

"What else?"

"I received news that two players in Iran had a severe cold, but it was strange that we did not get a clear message. Instead, Dejaga, we can conclude that he was indeed injured."

"What do you mean?" Gao Han asked with concern.

Dejaga is Iran's midfielder. If he is injured, his midfielder strength will definitely be weakened.

"We have to thank our domestic media for this matter. It was the news they spyed on." Li Tie said with a smile.

As he said that, he took out his cell phone and found the WeChat photo sent to him by a reporter from a domestic media just now. It was a medical record card from a well-known hospital in Chenyang. It clearly showed that there was a problem with the proximal end of Dejaga's right leg tibial ribs. He wanted to undergo an MRI and the report would be issued within 24 hours.

"It seems that Dejaga is definitely absent." Sergio Garcia chuckled.

Li Tie nodded heavily, obviously confirming it.

Gao Han couldn't help laughing, this should be considered a rare good news.

"You inform this media that after playing against the Iranian team, I will give them an exclusive interview." Gao Han smiled.

Maintaining good communication and cooperation with the media is Gao Han's principle.

There are many things that Gao Han cannot do as the head coach of the national team. For example, he went to the hospital to spy on Dejaga's medical record card. Not to mention Gao Han, the national team will not do it, and the hospital will definitely not disclose it. However, the omnipresent media has ways and channels to get medical record card.

Only by maintaining good communication and cooperation and mutual communication can we maximize our interests.

Li Tie was happy and focused on the key points. A photo could be exchanged for an exclusive interview with Gao Han. He believed that his journalist friend should be very satisfied.

It rained for two days in Shenyang, and the temperature warmed up a little later.

This humid and stuffy climate makes the national team feel a little uncomfortable, let alone Iran playing away.

There are eight internationals in Iran. In addition to the injured Dejaga, there are seven internationals in foreign countries, who are the most trusted players during Queros' coaching period. If there is no accident, they will appear in the lineup.

But these international players returned to China to serve the kingdom after the European League on the 29th. After playing in Qatar, they traveled more than 6,000 kilometers to Chenyang, which was a waste of money.

On the contrary, the Chinese team feels somewhat waiting for work.

The Asian qualifiers show a showdown between two world-renowned coaches, Gao Han and Queros, which attracted the attention of FIFA.

On the official website, FIFA made a preview report on the second round of the top 12 Asian qualifiers, focusing on the competition between Gao Han and Queros.

FIFA said that in a focus match just past, the Chinese team defeated the South Korean team with a score of 3-1 and played a perfect match. Gao Han also showed the technical and tactical level of the world's top coaches, which greatly encouraged the morale and confidence of Chinese players, but the Chinese team should be vigilant about Iran's strength.

"This is a team that is even better than South Korea. In front of Iran, even South Korea has to lower its shape."

However, FIFA also stated that although Iran is stronger and has beaten Qatar two goals before, they both scored in stoppage time, which proves that Iran has indeed had some problems, but being able to defeat Qatar in stoppage time has made Iran highly morale. Queiros's team performed quite well in this World Cup qualifier, which made them more confident.

"But the Iranians must be alert to the progress of the Chinese team, especially Gao Han."

FIFA also stated that this game will be a battle between two famous coaches, Gao Han and Queros.

"From the past three rounds of games, the changes brought to the team by a world-class head coach is obvious. In Gao Han's hands, the Chinese team won all three games, not only defeating Maldives and Qatar, but even South Korea, which had not won for decades, fell at the feet of the Chinese team."

"Queros has also brought great changes to Iran. He has made Iran the strongest team in Asia, which makes all of us have to look forward to the next World Cup qualifiers. I wonder if Queros, who is unstoppable, can lead his Persian army to defeat the invincible Gao Han?"

…………

…………

The questions raised by FIFA were, at the press conference before the game, Queiroz said that Gao Han was the coach he respected very much.

"Ha, he and I are very good friends. I know him and I know his coaching level. After he took over, it brought earth-shaking changes to the Chinese team, especially the game that just defeated the Korean team, which surprised us all."

"We have focused on studying the video of the Chinese team's game before, and focused on watching these games after Gao Han took over. I think his work in the Chinese team has given me a lot of thoughts. This is how he is, and he has his own ideas and ideas."

"I want to say that under Gao Han's coach, the Chinese team is a very tenacious team. They are very focused on the game, and their offense and defense are fast. There is no doubt that Gao Han's skills and tactics force players to be so focused and focused, and it is quite difficult to stubbornly reverse South Korea when they are one goal behind away."

"This just proves that the Chinese team is a team with excellent skills and tactics and strong mental strength. Their rigorous overall football will make us feel pressure in the game, especially their defense. Tomorrow's game will be very difficult."

Queros did not directly answer his expectations for the game, but instead said in a tactful manner that a point was acceptable.

"I led the team to play in the top 12 games. I think every point is very important. The schedule is very compact. From nine, ten, and eleven, you will have to finish five games in these three months. The pressure will be great. These fifteen points can determine whether your ranking in this group is better or worse. This has different meanings for the next game."

"We are a relatively young team, but we have a group of high-level players who have a lot of experience in playing games, such as our striker Azmon, who is only twenty-one years old, but has four years of experience in the European League. We are combined with the old, middle-aged and young, and the three lines are more reasonable, which makes it easier for us to reach a balance."

“I hope that in tomorrow’s game, we can be the side that performs better.”

"As I have said repeatedly before, although the top 12 games are double round-robin group stages, we will treat every game as the finals, and we will do our best to treat every game."

But at the end of the press conference, when media reporters asked about the injuries of Dejaga and two severe cold players, Queiroz did not directly answer, but said that everyone was ready and that tomorrow's game would not be affected in any way.

Finally, Queiroz said that under Gao Han's coach, the Chinese team has a great hope of entering the World Cup.

…………

At the pre-match press conference of the Chinese team held at one point in the evening, head coach Gao Han kept putting high hats on Queiros, saying that Queiros was the object of his learning. His five-year coaching experience in Iran is a fantastic, and he has made Iran a top Asian team that is no less than European teams.

"The Iranian team's technical and tactical style and physical fitness are very close to that of European teams. There is no doubt that our strength is not as good as our opponents. Even if we are fighting at home, we must face this point, so we need to avoid making mistakes, work hard, and be patient in finding the opponent's loopholes and mistakes."

Regarding the upcoming game, Gao Han made it clear, "No matter which game it is or who the opponent is, we have never had one goal, that is, to win with all our might. This is our tireless pursuit, and we will devote ourselves to every game with the belief of winning."

"Of course, Iran is the top Asian team. Facing such an opponent, the game will be extremely difficult. This requires us to work hard to control every detail in the game. We must be extremely focused and show our best form and best mental outlook."

Regarding Queiroz's final statement that the Chinese team had hope of entering the World Cup, Gao Han smiled and joked that his old friends were praising him.

"Since we participated in the World Cup for the first time in 2002, there have been many problems in Chinese football in the past few years. This is not only a football-level problem, but also a social problem. In recent years, we have begun to vigorously promote reform and have achieved considerable results, but reform takes time."

"It's like I just coached the team, and you can't ask me to achieve results immediately. I need time to make my players adapt to my technical and tactical concepts. All I can do is to shorten the period of time when players adapt and improve, integrate the team into shape as soon as possible, and develop competitiveness."

"It is our goal to enter the World Cup, but we need to advance down-to-earth. We need to fight one after another to strive for it. We can't enter the World Cup just by shouting slogans."

"From the current situation of the team, we are a good combination of old, middle-aged and young players. Next, I will give young players opportunities to try to build a more reasonable, passionate and competitive team."

"I believe that at that time, whether to enter the World Cup will be a natural thing."

"Queros said it well. Every point in the top 12 is crucial, especially when facing a team like Iran. Therefore, my requirement for the international players is to do my best to play, strive for victory in every game, and leave no regrets on myself. As for the result, I can't predict it at all."

"But I want to say that with our current strength level, we only have a chance of winning by playing every game with one step at a time, and treating every game as the final."
