On the evening of November 15, Kunming Tuodong Stadium.

With the joint witness of more than 40,000 fans, the fifth round of the top 12 tournaments officially started.

After four consecutive victories, the Chinese team ranked first in the group with the advantage of leading three-pointers. The Chinese team was determined to score three-pointers in this game against Qatar. Gao Han even said before the game that he was full of confidence in winning the game.

The team still lined up the 433 formation. The goalkeeper was Yan Junling, the defense was Jiang Zhipeng, Feng Xiaoting, Mei Fang and **fan. The midfield was still Zheng Zhi dragged the back, Hao Junmin and Huang Baiwen were in the center, and the front court trident was Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning and Zhang Xizhe.

A very obvious change in the frontcourt offensive point is that Zhang Xizhe replaced Gao Lin, which was undoubtedly something that many people did not expect before the game, because Gao Lin has always been Gao Han’s favorite player and is deeply trusted.

Qatar was obviously under great pressure in this game. It turned out to be strong against China's strength in the top 40s. Instead, it took the initiative to show weakness, abandoned the traditional four-back and adopted a five-back formation, which clearly means to defend and counterattack the entire away game.

Head coach Fosatti also hurriedly took over the coach position after suffering two consecutive losses in the first two rounds of the top 12 Qatar, and then lost to South Korea away and won Syria when he returned to home. It can be said that his performance has improved a lot.

But this away challenge to China is the biggest test for Fosatti.

At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team quickly launched a midfield and front-field press and pressed the ball, and successfully grabbed the ball within 30 seconds. After intercepting the ball in the frontcourt, Zhang Xizhe made a cross from the right, and Zhang Yuning headed the ball in the penalty area, but the ball was slightly off.

This attack quickly ignited the passion of the Chinese team, especially the fans in the stands were even more excited.

What is home court advantage?

Plateau battles, coupled with home advantage, this is China's home advantage!

They are all waiting for the Chinese team to quickly kill Qatar at home.

Three minutes later, the midfielder from the Chinese team intercepted the ball again. Captain Zheng Zhi suddenly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt midway, and directly shot a heavy shot from the outside of the penalty area, and fired a long shot of very high quality, which was lifted from the crossbar by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Afterwards, Hao Junmin sent a corner kick, Feng Xiaoting headed the ball in the penalty area, and Mei Fang attacked in the penalty area, but the angle was too straight and was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, which dissolved the Chinese team's attack.

The continuous offense made the fans in the stands very excited and ignited the enthusiasm for the game.

The Chinese team slowed down its offensive properly when two consecutive waves of offense failed to work, but still maintained the pressure and pressure against Qatar in the midfield.

Just when everyone thought that Qatar would survive the Chinese team's three-pronged approach and the Chinese team was about to slow down the offensive, a pass-and-receive error occurred between the Qatar defender and the midfielder. Huang Baiwen suddenly stepped in front of the opponent's midfielder, intercepted the ball, and dribbled the ball to the defense line.

When Huang Baiwen dribbled the ball and nearly hit the penalty area, the opponent's central defender finally couldn't help but rob, but at this moment, Huang Baiwen suddenly made a diagonal pass behind him, center Zhang Yuning quickly caught up, blocked the opponent's central defender with his body, and after a beautiful pull-up ball turned around, he suddenly shot from close range with his left foot.

The ball passed under the opponent's goalkeeper with a lightning speed and penetrated into the goal behind him, one to zero!

Zhang Yuning finally scored another goal!

This goal completely ignited the passion of the national team and also greatly encouraged all the fans in the stands.

After a crazy celebration, the international players returned to the stadium one after another.

At this time, the cheers from the fans of the Dragon Team in the stands made more than 40,000 fans in the audience shouted with hissings, and the sounds were surging, deeply affecting all the players on the court.

The Chinese team, with great morale, had the attitude of conquering Qatar in one breath and planned a top offensive on the court.

The technical midfield and frontcourt composed of Hao Junmin, Huang Baiwen, Zheng Zhi and Zhang Xizhe created scoring opportunities for Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning, etc., but either the internationals missed the scoring opportunity themselves, or the opponent's goalkeeper and defender performed well, but in the end they failed to score.

Time skipped twenty-five minutes, Gao Han saw Qatar gradually regaining the feeling of the game, and immediately signaled the team to stabilize their position and not to fight again. He quickly grasped the defense first, preserved the lead with one goal, and waited for the opponent to make a mistake.

Of course, the players on the court followed Gao Han's arrangements, but with a 65% advantage in possession, the players will inevitably be lucky and hope to score a goal through the opportunity to counterattack. However, unexpectedly, in the 35th minute, Qatar seized an opportunity and launched a counterattack.

The opponent's right forward grabbed the defensive gap left by Jiang Zhipeng's attack, quickly inserted it into the counterattack, and after receiving the pass from his teammate, he rushed into the penalty area and crossed the middle. The forward followed and pushed the ball, successfully tied the score.

One to one, the game returned to the same starting line.

This goal hit Chinese players a lot. In the next ten minutes, the Chinese team performed a little disappointed. Qatar even got an excellent opportunity to kick the right side of the penalty area. However, Yan Junling stood very well and blocked the angle. The opponent's shot failed to hit the goal frame and tilted out of the bottom line.

Gao Han was on the sidelines and couldn't help but secretly glad that Pedro Harrow's wisdom of knowing people.

Almost the first time he coached the national team, Pedro Harrow recommended the young Yan Junling to him. Later, although Zeng Cheng performed stably, the international team was selected for the national team every time, he never got the chance.

Now that Zeng Cheng is injured and retreats, he finally gets the opportunity.

In the first two rounds of Syria and Uzbekistan, Yan Junling's performance was very steady and had very good saves. This time the position was even more critical, and did not disappoint Gao Han and Pedro Haro.

After the first half, he returned to the locker room one-to-one, Gao Han severely scolded the international players for their poor performance.

On the one hand, it is the carelessness when conceding the ball, but the most important thing is the frustration after conceding the ball. It is unforgivable to think that a conceding goal will make the team perform completely differently.

The international players were obviously ashamed of their performance in the last ten minutes of the first half. They were mainly equalized after leading, which made them feel a little panicked and eager to get a goal back and surpass the score again.

Only by leading the way can they feel safe.

Of course, Gao Han can understand the mood of the international players, but sometimes he needs to maintain it when he should, and he needs to scold him when he should be scolded.

Now the national team has won four consecutive victories in the group, and the atmosphere inside and outside is so good that it almost makes people feel that the Chinese team has advanced to the World Cup ahead of schedule. This situation is not a good phenomenon.

Gao Han did not use the skill card for the attack and goal at the beginning just now. He wanted to see the true level of the national team, but he did not disappoint him. He had been carefully trained for so long, and coupled with the training camp in the past two weeks, the players played well, both in terms of overall skills and tactics and offense and defense cooperation.

But after losing one goal, the kick was so bad.

After scolding her, Gao Han quickly made a re-adjustment, requiring everyone to be motivated, pass the ball decisively and confidently, especially the crossing at the front of the opponent's penalty area, which is more determined, and there is no need to hesitate to insert the two full-backs.

Zheng Zhi was behind the midfield. Although he had once in the game, he inserted a long shot and almost scored a goal. But in fact, he was very far behind in this game because he assumed important responsibilities.

As long as he drags it back, the two central defenders will pull the side, and the full-back will quickly advance the attack, trying to release the offensive firepower from both sides to solve the width and crossing problems of the frontcourt side attack.

After the ball reached the frontcourt, the attack was mainly in the ribs and crosses.

Gao Han also analyzed and guided the team's offense in the first half that they were sometimes too anxious and sometimes too hesitant. His request was not to be anxious, not hesitant, follow the feeling, even if it made a mistake.

With Gao Han's arrangements and instructions, after the second half of the game, the Chinese team once again firmly suppressed Qatar in the half.

The Chinese team did not disappoint Gao Han's high hopes. In just six minutes of the second half, when an attack reached the front of the opponent's penalty area, Zhang Xizhe and Huang Baiwen made a series of crosses, Hao Junmin passed the ball to the left, Jiang Zhipeng caught up, and passed it from the left to the penalty area. Zhang Yuning scored a close-range point, two-to-one!

After surpassing the score again, Zhang Yuning, who scored twice, was so excited that he was completely lost. He kept waving his hands, but was soon hugged to the ground by his teammates chasing him.

This young player, who is only nineteen years old, has become the number one scorer in the national team, carrying the hope of the Chinese team in the World Cup. This is a very surprising thing.

What is even more surprising is that after transferring from Witts to Ajax, Zhang Yuning quickly became the team's number one scorer. Although his performance was both good and bad, overall, as a center at the age of nineteen, he has gradually gained a foothold and became a sharp knife on Ajax's forward line.

In the 60th minute, Gao Han replaced Zhang Yuning with Gao Lin.

The latter was originally hoping to score a hat trick, because after Ajax strengthened his physical fitness, he felt that Qatar's defender could not stop him at all, but Gao Han still replaced him.

"Leave your hunger to Eredivisie for the second round of round."

After Gao Lin replaced Zhang Yuning, the Chinese team's offense was not inferior at all. Coupled with the team's tight defense in the middle and backcourt, it made it difficult for Qatar to launch a threatening counterattack, and the whole game was suppressed by the Chinese team at halftime.

Then Gao Han replaced Huang Baiwen in the Han Dynasty, pulled Zhang Xizhe to the middle, and asked Yu Han Dynasty to play the right winger.

This time, the substitution also had an effect after more than ten minutes.

In the 83rd minute, it was a cross from the Han Dynasty from the right. Gao Lin grabbed the first point in the penalty area and transferred the ball to Wu Lei who cut inside from the left. Wu Lei directly kicked the ball without thinking, and the ball pierced through Qatar's goal again.

After leading three to one, Gao Han replaced Zheng Zhi with Wang Lei, giving the young player of Chinatown a chance to train. Wang Lei also had the opportunity to give a high-quality free kick, but unfortunately he was a little higher and failed to score.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Qatar in Kunming with Zhang Yuning's second goal and Wu Lei's goal.

This victory made Gao Han feel very pleased because he had never used a skill card from beginning to end.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to use it, but that he doesn’t think it’s necessary.

Apart from that goal conceding and the ten minutes in the last stage of the first half, Qatar did not create too much threat to the Chinese team in the whole game, which made him feel that it would be better to take this opportunity to test the team well.
Chapter completed!
