As Zhou Yi said, no matter how many outs and pre-match games there are, it is useless.

The outcome of a football match is mainly determined by the match.

Of course, out-of-board moves and drudgery may affect players' performance on the field.

For example, if Qatar's adjustment of the Chinese team's stay at the hotel can make the Chinese players more tired, then they cannot achieve 100% status in the game.

However, Qatar really seems to just not want the Chinese team to live in their lucky hotel. The hotel they are staying for for the Chinese team is actually better than the previous one in terms of conditions and geographical location...

The game between the Chinese team and Singapore was separated at 10:15 pm on November 11th, Beijing time. For domestic fans, this is not a too late kick-off time. They can watch this without staying up late. Games. After reading it, it was almost twelve midnight, and I was able to sleep directly.

Of course, how many people still want to sleep by then is another matter.

Ten o'clock in Beijing time is seven o'clock in the evening in Qatar local time, and there is a five-hour time difference between the two places.

For the tropical desert climate of Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries, except for the mild winter in December to February, the temperature during the day is very high, which can rise to more than forty degrees, and the air The humidity is very high and it is very hot in summer. So this time the football match will not be scheduled in the afternoon.

Like the Premier League, there are cases where the kick-off is more than noon, which is almost impossible in the Qatar league.

The only advantage of this place is that although the temperature during the day is very high, because the surface is mainly gravel, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, it is still cool in the morning and evening, and the sea breeze blows, so the temperature is not high.

This match between the Chinese team and Iraq was scheduled for this period of time.

In the west sky, there is some red glow near the horizon, but that is already the last glow of the setting sun.

Seabirds flew over the course from time to time.

There were a lot of fans in the stands wearing white gauze peculiar to the Arabs. Not many of these people were really Iraqi, and many of them were actually Qatari.

Zhou Yi is no stranger to this scene. When he was in the Asian Cup, almost every game was like this.

In addition to Qatar and Iraqi fans, there are many Chinese in red clothes holding five-star red flags in the south stands. It is difficult to say that they are all fans. Employees and international students of a Chinese company in Colombia. Many of these people may not even watch football at all, but they are not here to watch the ball, they are here to support the Chinese team. When abroad, sports can represent the motherland to some extent.

After the game started, Iraq launched a fierce offensive against the Chinese team's goal, hoping to score early.

On the road, they almost won the Chinese team and returned to the home court. The goal must be victory.

In response to this kind of thinking in Iraq, Gao Hongbo formulated a defensive counterattack strategy.

In the first half, Gao Hongbo's tactics were half successful because Iraq did not score.

However, the Chinese team has not been able to threaten the goal of Iraq.

The two sides tied 0:0.

During the halftime break, Gong Lei, a commentary in China's domestic studios, analyzed the performance of the Chinese team in the first half and believed that they put too much energy on defense, resulting in a slightly insufficient investment in offense. But this is not a big problem, after all, if the Chinese team can finally take a draw on the road, it is also good.

"...It would be better if I could win, but I think for the Chinese team, it is most important not to think too much now. What I am afraid is that I think too much. If I think too much, I don’t know how to play... …"

Gong Lei's statement was endorsed by understanding speaker Liu Hong.

"Yes, we used to think too much before. In fact, football is simpler but better..."

"Yes, unity of thought."

Liu Hong thought for a while and felt that he was not right: "Eh, Mr. Gong. But we also have too many attempts to lose, and in the end we really lose the precedent. If this game is too conservative, will it What about losing again?"

Gong Lei seemed to be stabilized. After a few huhs, he finally thought of how to say: "It's like this... The Chinese team is not blindly defensive, there will still be counterattacks. But it is definitely defensive. Yes, unless there is a good chance of a counterattack, the Chinese team will not arbitrarily press on the offense. As for the timing of this counterattack... I think Zhou Yi will surely grasp it well."

Liu Hong also echoed: "This is, I believe Zhou Yi will not let us down-when did he let us down?"

※※※

In fact, Gong Lei said very well. During the halftime break, Gao Hongbo did emphasize to the Chinese team that he still had to play a defensive counterattack in the second half. Don’t easily press it to attack, otherwise the space behind is easily used by opponents.

But when should we fight back?

He did not say in detail, but said to all players: "Yi Zhou decided."

He fully believed that Zhou Yi's judgment on the situation was also a kind of decentralization. In fact, the head coach on the court will definitely not know more about what is happening on the court, but the head coach has an advantage, that is, they are deep on the court and can see the overall situation, using a macro To observe the game from a different perspective, so although they are not on the front line, they can direct the game. The players, although they are on the front line, are unable to understand the overall situation because of "being in this mountain".

However, such a problem does not exist in Zhou Yi, because he even has an observation angle that exceeds the head coach's perspective, and he has a "God perspective"! Therefore, he can understand the situation on the first line, experience the changes in the game situation at the first time, and also have a more comprehensive view than the head coach.

So what he does on the court, he makes a decision, which is actually better than the head coach. The main head coach is willing to decentralize.

Gao Hongbo is willing to decentralize. In fact, he didn't want to do this at first, but when he observed Zhou Yi's training and games at close range, he found that Zhou Yi knew the situation on the court and even reached a terrible point. Everyone knows that the format of the game is constantly changing, and the 22 players are constantly changing every minute and every second.

But Zhou Yi was able to grasp it.

After discovering such characteristics of Zhou Yi, Gao Hongbo felt that Zhou Yi could be a mobile command center on the court, and he didn't need him to yell and command the game on the sidelines.

In this way, he gradually decentralized power, and the Chinese team players are gradually getting used to things on the court to listen to Zhou Yi's arrangement.

And Zhou Yi actually actually likes the arrangement of the head coach. Because it will make things simple, it is not easy to simplify things, and you will reap huge results if you do it well. Although other players in the national team are not as good as Dortmund's teammates, Zhou Yi did not feel that playing in the national team was a painful thing, because he had such privileges in the national team, but he did not in Dortmund.

Because Dortmund's head coach Klopp will not do like Gao Hongbo, he has to keep everything under control, only allowing players to play freely within the limits he stipulates, but not completely free to play.

This is also the result of various systems.

Of course, in fact, this approach has high requirements for the player's own sense of responsibility and self-confidence.

People who do not have a sense of responsibility are not willing to take on such responsibilities, because it is also a huge pressure. In the past, the head coach was responsible for the problem, and the player who made the decision is now responsible.

People with insufficient confidence can't do this kind of work. People without confidence will self-doubt and hesitate, thereby wasting excellent opportunities, and may even bring danger to their team.

And it happens that Zhou Yi is a person with both responsibility and self-confidence.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides, and Iraq still launched a fierce offensive towards the goal of the Chinese team, even more fiercely than the first half. Because they knew that there was only forty-five minutes left for them.

In the face of the aggressive Iraq~lightnovelpub.net~ The Chinese team played very calmly under the leadership of Zhou Yi, not at all anxious, as if they really wanted to get a draw back on the road.

Even when the ball control is at their feet, they are not in a hurry to pass forward, but are leaning back and forth, slowly advancing forward, allowing the Iraqi players to desperately return to the defense, as if they can’t see it at all. .

Duan Xin felt a pity that the Chinese team had missed the opportunity to fight back again and again, and then stopped talking.

After Iraq ran back to defend several times in this way, they found that the Chinese team wanted to play a quick counterattack. They passed the ball leisurely, but they were half dead because they were desperately trying to return to the defense. This is really a bit. accurate.

So when the Chinese team took the ball again, they did not rush back, but stayed in the midfield and tried to steal the ball to fight back.

But when the Iraqi team did this, Zhou Yi suddenly made a long diagonal pass to pass the football to Hao Junmin who was on the side in the front!

"The Chinese team's counterattack!!" Liu Hong, who had been holding back for a long time, was finally able to call out this sentence. (To be continued.)
