Although Chinese reporters are very satisfied with Gao Hongbo's starting arrangement, they are also very appreciative and have full confidence in the national team.

But the situation after the start of the competition did not go in the direction expected by Chinese journalists.

The Chinese team fighting on the road did indeed try to face the Japanese team. Under Zhou Yi’s initiative, the Chinese team launched several attacks on the Japanese team’s penalty area, but they did not really threaten the Japanese goalkeeper Kawashima. Goal.

However, the Japanese team's offense is more threatening than the Chinese team, so that the Chinese team's goalkeeper Zeng Cheng made two saves, which caused the Chinese fans in the stands to exclaim.

Then the initiative of the game fell into the hands of the Japanese team.

The Chinese team can only defend more often, while the Japanese team has strengthened the offensive. For a time, the Chinese team's front door is in danger.

Even the commentator Liu Hong said: "The Chinese team was very nervous at this time! The Japanese team's offensive was very swift! Kagawa Shinji shot...Be careful!"

Fortunately, this shot missed the goal.

But from this ball you can also see the situation of the Chinese team.

This scene has puzzled many Chinese fans-the same team, lacking the core Zhou Yi in the Asian Cup finals, can play very tenaciously in the face of Japan. Why is this Chinese team now playing in the face of Japan? So embarrassed?

A close-up shot of the Chinese team coach Gao Hongbo on the sidelines was broadcast on television. He sat on the coach seat without a word and his expression was serious. Facing the situation where the Chinese team is now being suppressed, he did not stand up anxiously and commanded the game on the sidelines.

In fact, many people are strange about one thing.

It stands to reason that the Chinese team won the runner-up in the Asian Cup, the performance is very good, greatly unexpected to everyone, after all, they just went to "training" before the game. Then in the top ten, they also won two consecutive victories. For the national football team, this is a very good performance. After the Asian Cup experience, this national team should have run in almost, just need to produce results At that time, why at this time, Gao Hongbo suddenly recruited five players who had never been selected for the national team before?

To know that this is the top ten match against the Japanese team, not a friendly match, you can let him examine the newcomers. There has never been a coach who will recruit a large number of new recruits or start new recruits before such games.

This is why the Chinese media believes that Gao Hongbo's approach is problematic and does not understand why Gao Hongbo did so.

But in fact, Gao Hongbo seriously considered the issue of changing blood after the Chinese team's home game against Oman. So he flew to London specifically to watch the Chinese Olympic Games and watched all six games.

His views are different from the media and fans.

He does not think that the lineup of the national team that took the Asian Cup runner-up has been solid. He does not think there is anything that cannot be adjusted. The World Cup qualifier is a long process, from June 2012 to June 2013 Month, a whole year. If you want to play in the Asian play-offs, there will be two games in September next year.

In this process, it is normal for anyone to be out of the national team lineup.

As for why it is necessary to recruit five players who have never been selected for the national team in one go, it is also very simple. In the game against Oman, Gao Hongbo found that the national team's "Zhou Yi Dependence" became more and more serious.

It's not that relying on Zhou Yi is not good. Zhou Yi is the core of the team. It should have assumed more responsibilities. But football is a group project after all, and it is not far away to rely on only one person. Moreover, Zhou Yi is also an excellent midfielder. He needs someone to complete his offensive, and someone needs to protect him. If his teammates do not perform well enough, even if he tries hard, he can only play hard, win thrills, or even try his best to win.

The game against Oman proves that it is so difficult for the weakest team to win at home. What about Japan and Australia? To qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the Chinese team must get the top two in the group, and the third must go to the play-offs. After finishing the Asian play-offs, they have to play against South America. It's not a good thing for the Chinese team.

Why is it so easy to play against Oman? After the game, Gao Hongbo and the coaching staff conducted a re-analysis, and everyone came to a consensus that this team is too dependent on Zhou Yi, playing football is becoming more and more mindless, and it is getting harder and harder. They think that there are any problems that Zhou Yi will solve anyway, so they can’t get the spirit of bayonet fighting at the critical moment. Once the breath is out, it’s hard to talk about it again.

Some players of the national team relaxed their requirements after the Asian Cup. They did not take training seriously and thought they were firmly established in the national team. There are also some national team players who are gradually unable to play because of things in the club. The state of the game is worrying and their physical conditions are not as good as during the Asian Cup. In addition, some people become unable to cope with higher demands because of their own strength...

No matter how you train, it is difficult for the team to improve its strength. It may be the so-called "bottleneck".

These are the incentives for Gao Hongbo to intend to exchange blood for the national team.

The reason why Gao Hongbo finally made such a decisive decision is the outstanding performance of the Olympic team in London. He saw a vibrant team in London, and there are many outstanding players in the team.

If it weren’t for Sun Pan’s injury, there would actually be as many as six new recruits recruited into the national team this time.

Zhou Yi's personal ability is very good, but as the core of the organization, no matter how good he needs to have the same outstanding teammates to cooperate with him, otherwise his passing intentions are not understood, and his wonderful pass is wasted... that also Can not be done.

In Gao Hongbo's view, some people in this national team can't keep up with Zhou Yi's rhythm and can't meet their own requirements. Although they may be veteran internationals, it is right for them to stay in the national team. The team is not responsible. So you must exchange blood.

This may be cruel, but if you lose the cup qualifiers, the players can continue to go back to the club to eat spicy and spicy, the coach Gao Hongbo will blame and resign, be blamed by thousands of people, bear the main responsibility for being eliminated. If he doesn't do this, he will be cruel to himself.

So although he might offend a group of people by doing so, it is understandable for the benefit of more people.

Of course, his experience with the Changchun team also gave him a lesson. That is to say, such a change of blood can't be done too suddenly. We have to give everyone a time and opportunity to accept it. This is a must-have for those who do big things.

He knows that there will definitely be people within the national team who are puzzled and dissatisfied with the recruitment of so many Olympic team players. It doesn't matter. He doesn't intend to explain this because football itself will teach them to recognize themselves. Someone can't do it. If he says no one believes, let football tell everyone. So he didn't move much, and there was not much resistance.

※※※

Zhou Yi concentrated on the game on the court, he did not have as many ideas as the coach Gao Hongbo, no matter who his teammates around him, he insisted on playing his own football, the goal is to help the team win, regardless of the strength of the opponent how is it.

However, he can really feel the pressure that the Japanese team brings to the Chinese team.

It stands to reason that the strength of the national team should be higher than that of the Olympic team, but after playing the Olympic Games, Zhou Yi has a different feeling. He feels that he plays in the Olympic team better than he does in the national team today. He speculates that this may have something to do with his more familiar teammates in the Olympic team. After all, Sun Pan, He Ying, Guo Nu and Yang Muge are among the teammates who played together very early.

During this time, the Chinese team was pressed into their own half, and Zhou Yi did not have much room to play. In the attack, he could only use the long pass to create some opportunities for He Ying in front.

But He Ying is not easy to face the Japanese team's back line. What's more, He Ying's own condition is not good. His rhythm and feeling after taking the ball are not as good as when he was in the Olympic team.

At this point, even the commentator Liu Hong saw it. Zhou Yi passed three long passes to He Ying. He Ying failed to stop at the first time twice. The extra adjustments made him delay more time~ lightnovelpub.net~ also gave the Japanese team defenders time to come up.

Why is this happening?

Liu Hong believes that fatigue and tension in the national team's first appearance led to He Ying's unsatisfactory performance.

But this is actually not very convincing. At least the first reason is unreasonable. I thought the team had assembled before ten days. How can it be said that the journey may be tired after ten days?

In fact, there is a reason for not knowing whether it was intentionally ignored. That is, He Ying didn't play a game in Barcelona this season. He hasn't even entered the roster for three consecutive rounds. Because of the lack of games, he can't maintain his state. It is difficult to find the feeling of the game for a while. It is strange to know that this national team game is the first official game played by He Ying after the Olympics.

Just to blame He Ying’s bad condition for his stay in Barcelona, ​​everyone is really reluctant to admit that they still hope to see He Ying in Barcelona can get through the first days.

Every Chinese fan has a big dream in their hearts, hoping to have a place for our Chinese players in the true European giants starting lineup. (To be continued.)
