Regarding Gao Hongbo’s choice to let the four returnees including Zhou Yi return to China to participate in the competition, the Chinese domestic media has given their support and recognition. Everyone thinks that there is really no need to call them back in such a tight time to fight such a A game that is not a critical battle.

Considering the time difference, considering the waste of physical energy for long-distance flights, even if they are called back, they may not be able to achieve a high level.

In the past, the Chinese team has always been able to make players who have played overseas long-haul flights back to play a friendly game, which has been criticized by the media and fans for a long time.

How can such mistakes continue over and over again and become the "tradition" of Chinese football?

More importantly, in everyone's view, the situation of the Chinese team is currently in the top ten, and the qualifying is almost no suspense. This time against Qatar, the second-lowest host at home, can't we win?

Even Gao Hongbo had such an idea, that in the first case of the group, there is no need to return all returnees to a game. With this time, it is better to train and take a rest at their club.

Just relying on domestic players may not be able to win Qatar in poor condition at home. Besides, he is not a returnee player who didn’t call him. Isn’t he calling back a shadow?

He Ying's state of the last national team game is also worth looking forward to this time.

In this way, the almost national team of the Chinese national team welcomed Qatar, the penultimate team, at home.

Before the game, both the media and the fans were very optimistic about winning the game, and the media and fans said that they should not always count the credit for winning the returnees. Our local players are also very powerful, China The higher the domestic professional league, the better, and the level of local players trained with high-level foreign aid has also made great progress. This game is an excellent opportunity to show their style to the world.

The national team as a whole has never won the credit of a certain person or a few people. While desperately praising Zhou Yi, don't ignore the local teammates around them. Maybe they are not like the returnees who can enjoy everyone's cheers and attention in the European arena, but they are as indispensable.

No media has likened the returnees of the national team to the eye-catching parts of a beautiful house, likened the domestic league players to the cornerstone of this house, they are buried deep underground, unknown, but This house is very important. I urge everyone to give confidence and support to these national league players.

These truths are quite right, and the words are beautiful, which caused a strong resonance.

Everyone expressed their expectation that the Chinese class would perform a wonderful performance on the top ten.

But just twenty minutes after the game started, the Chinese team dropped a goal first...

They were scored by Qatar with a counterattack!

At home, in front of tens of thousands of Chinese fans who are full of confidence and expectation from them, the Chinese team lost the ball and fell behind!

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat different from before.

Before the whole stadium was filled with ease and expectation, everyone cheered for the national team while looking forward to the goal.

The result is better now...

Their expected goal appeared, but the scoring side was their enemy Qatar!

"...The Chinese team made a mistake while defending, and the cooperation between the defender and the goalkeeper was not tacit enough..." The commentator Liu Hong was helpless.

After losing the ball, the Chinese players desperately launched a violent attack on Qatar’s goal, and Qatar, who had already led by one goal, was also very content. The lead is maintained until the end of the game.

Until the end of the first half of the game, the Chinese team still failed to tie the score.

After the start of the second half, Gao Hongbo's adjustment at halftime did not play any role.

At the very least, everyone sees that the Chinese team's offensive is still quite chaotic. There is no system and rules at all. It is simply to hit wherever you want, without purpose and direction.

He Ying was at the forefront alone, running again and again in vain, but no one could send the football out.

At this time, the commentator Liu Hong said: "...I think everyone must miss Zhou Yi at this moment? When Zhou Yi was on the court, our offense was not like this..."

He said a lot of fans' opinions. On the Internet, impatient fans have scolded the performance of the national team: "The blow before the game was so powerful, the result was that Jin Yu was nothing more than a returnee. hit!"

"I don't understand, why not call them Zhou Yi?"

Later, seeing that he couldn't get the ball in the front, He Ying, who had no chance, started to retreat and changed from a scorer to a person who took the ball to organize the attack. After all, in this national team, his technical level and ability are the highest.

After he retreated to the midfield, he did help the Chinese team stabilize the midfield and created some opportunities. But unfortunately the other forwards who have switched to the national team can't catch the chance. Neither Gao Lin nor Wu Lei have been able to turn the pass He Ying gave them into goals.

Of course, their performance was also criticized by online fans.

※※※

In the end, the chaotic organization of the midfield and the weak Chinese team even lost the game under the highly optimistic situation before the game. They lost to Qatar 0:1 at home and it was considered an upset.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the players of the Chinese team were downcast, totally expecting that they would lose the game at home.

At the beginning of the game, they came with the determination to win. After losing the ball, they still want to reverse the victory. By the time the game had fifteen minutes left, their goal had become "as long as they can even the score". But after the game, even this goal was not achieved...

This is indeed miserable.

The internationals of the Chinese team have a confused expression on their faces, wondering why they lost to Qatar at home.

They are the first in the group and the penultimate in the Qatar group. What is the difference in strength?

※※※

After the game, He Ying gasped for an interview.

He played more tiredly in this game than in previous games, because he did several jobs by himself, he was responsible for scoring on the front line, and after retreating to the midfield, he became an organization to attack "Qiyi", and when Qatar fights back against the Chinese team, he has excellent physical fitness and speed, and he has to play the role of "Yang Muge", responsible for blocking Qatar's counterattack.

Can you feel tired after kicking it like this?

"I'm disappointed not to be able to win the game..." He shook his head.

The reporter asked: "I was optimistic before the game, but I lost the game. What do you think caused this?"

He Ying gasped for a few breaths and said, "The reason is very complicated, and I can't tell you in a few words. But for me personally, I think my performance is not good enough. This is the reason for losing."

As a player, He Ying took the initiative to take responsibility. Although he didn't actually need to do this, he still did. This is not because he is making a show, but because he has high demands on himself. He really believes that as the only returnee to return to the game, the Chinese team failed to win the game, that is his responsibility.

Gao Hongbo took the responsibility of losing at the post-match press conference: "Failure to win is a matter of tactics and personnel arrangements. As the head coach, I take full responsibility."

A reporter asked: "Does the staffing problem refer to the failure to recruit all returnees?"

Gao Hongbo shook his head and denied: "It has nothing to do with this."

"Then if the returnees are recalled in this game, can they ensure victory?" the reporter asked.

Gao Hongbo continued to shake his head: "You can't make such a guarantee, the football game is not so simple, it's not like this or that."

※※※

After the game, Gao Hongbo's on-the-spot command and starting line-up arrangement in the game were criticized by the media. Some media questioned why Gao Hongbo only called one He Ying to return to the country, while the other returnees did not call any one. Some media questioned his substitution adjustment in the game, and some media simply questioned whether Gao Hongbo’s use of the All-Huaban team in this game was for some people to plug money into the national team’s gold-plating opportunity. From the buns and buns that everyone didn't want before, it became sweet and sour, and a national football quota suddenly became valuable.

This defeat was too sudden for the Chinese team, and too sudden for the Chinese media and fans. Before the match against Japan did not fall, and against the background of Australia's absence, this failure came too. It doesn't make sense.

Some people think that this failure is because Gao Hongbo did not choose to recruit all overseas players. He completely forgot that the pre-match public opinion can be one-sided support not to recruit overseas players, and to give the Chinese class trust and respect. Now it's all about the responsibility of losing the ball to the muddy all-Chinese players who can't help the wall.

Some people think that the failure is not because of not recruiting overseas players, and the strength of the all-Chinese players is definitely not as insufficient as that reflected in this game. The main problem is that the coach Gao Hongbo, the cook, does not use good materials and cooks well. So it reflects the low level of the head coach.

Some people think further, since the level of domestic coaches is limited, should the Chinese team enter the Brazil World Cup finals in the future, should it be replaced by a high-level international famous coach to lead the team? Only in this way can we achieve the historic breakthrough of Chinese football in the World Cup?

A failure seemed to destroy all the warmth and tacit understanding established before.

Of course, there are also reasons for Gao Hongbo's limited level as a head coach, but in fact there may be deeper reasons.

That is how to face this huge psychological gap after everyone's appetite has been elevated by the previous victory?

The Chinese team, or Chinese football, now has a new problem, which is a kind of "blind optimism and self-confidence." If the Chinese football used to be blind and inferior, then now it has gone from one extreme to the other.

The historic gold medals in the Olympic Games seem to have made Chinese fans and media believe that the golden age of Chinese football has arrived. The top ten games have three wins and one tie, ranking first in the group, and it has made many media and fans cheer. It also made people in the football community very optimistic about the future of the Chinese team, strengthened their previous judgment, and felt that Chinese football would stand up from now on.

Is there anything to worry about playing a penultimate Qatar at home?

But I don’t know how many can clearly understand that the Chinese team’s performance today does not really reflect the level of Chinese football. It can only be said that it is Chinese football, including him Gao Hongbo himself. Fortunately, he encountered the "Golden Generation" that fell from the sky "It is those young players who have changed the Chinese team's performance.

But they can only make improvements in the national team's competitive performance, but they cannot change the face of the entire Chinese football.

Without these golden generations, what would Chinese football look like?

It's the same as before, and nothing will change.

These people can only win glory for China on the football field, but they cannot change the Chinese football from the institutional, cultural, and economic aspects. ~lightnovelpub.net~ These basic things remain unchanged, even if you are lucky, a batch of golden generation How can it continue to produce outstanding young players?

So whether it is the Olympic gold medal or the first group in the top ten, it is not the victory of Chinese football, but the victory of the golden generation players, but they are cultivated by European football, and their success is not much like Chinese football. The relationship does not prove that Chinese football has gone straight from the ground up.

In fact, Chinese football is still the mouse that everyone shouted at. You can tell from this defeat of Qatar at home...

Whether it is extreme inferiority or extreme self-confidence, in the final analysis, it is because there is no real self-confidence. This is the impact of the poor and weak image of Chinese football over the past few decades.

If there is no fundamental change in Chinese football, if you want to achieve something in the future, you can only count on the favor of God and the emergence of a group of talented players. But God doesn’t always favor China. Brazil’s football foundation is so good, talented players emerge one after another, but not many people can really be called the “golden generation.” Look at Brazil since the World Cup in 2002. The change in football over the past ten years is really humiliating. Even in a football kingdom like Brazil, there will be a situation where there is no connection. What qualifications do Chinese football have to sit back and relax? (To be continued.)
