Chenyang Olympic Sports Center Exterior Field.

In the drizzling rain, the international players were playing internal group competitions on the training ground.

Assistant coach Xiao Mu is responsible for holding the whistle as the referee, while Gao Han is standing on the sidelines to watch the game.

From beginning to end, Gao Han's brows never dispersed and always frowned.

His mood at this moment was as messy as the rainy weather, making people feel uncomfortable.

"There are too many passes and receiving mistakes. I will fight against Iran in this situation..." Sergio Garcia kept shaking her head, "No, I'm afraid we will be blown up by Iran's counterattack."

Why don’t Gao Han know?

Many fans' impression of Queros is at the Real Madrid he coached at that time. It can be said that the first phase of the Galaxy Battleships has seriously set Queros' career, but it is undeniable that he is a very capable coach.

Gao Han also knew this very well, so he invited him to teach in the coaching training class many times.

Let me ask, with the style of Real Madrid and Florentino's courage in the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, if Queros does not have real materials, can he fire Bosque and hire a Portuguese to coach?

The only regret is that Queros's carp leaps at the dragon gate without leaping well.

But this is also normal. How many head coaches are there in European football who are very strong, but they fail to gain a foothold in the giant team for various reasons?

Queiroz has coached Iran for many years. This team has implemented his football philosophy from beginning to end. It is very simple and pragmatic. It does not follow the current mainstream football control style, but is more based on Iran's own characteristics.

As Sergio Garcia said, it looks very much like Manchester United under Ferguson.

The style of the game is tough, the feet are very flexible and fine. More importantly, the offense and defense conversion speed are very fast, counterattack and strong attack are the characteristics of this team. The offensive methods are very rich, and they can be said to be blooming everywhere, but the defense is very stable, the offense and defense are very balanced, and the entire technical and tactical style is very close to that of European teams.

It can be said that this team is worthy of the current ranking of Asia No. 1, and basically represents the technical and tactical level of Asia No. 1.

More importantly, the team that Queroz spent many years building has been stable after several years of training. The main framework has basically experienced the competitions in the past few years. It has a strong understanding and strong overall nature.

On the other hand, the Chinese team does not have an advantage no matter which aspect it is.

"In fact, it was already an unexpected surprise to beat South Korea away. It was a success to score one point at home and four points in the first two rounds." Sergio Garcia also noticed Gao Han's entanglement and persuaded comfortably.

Given the current situation of the Chinese team, it is indeed very difficult to compare with South Korea and Iran.

In the first match between South Korea, the team took advantage of the victory. In addition, Gao Han's targeted tactics were properly arranged, which can be said to have hit the limit of the Chinese team. But in this game, who can ensure that the Chinese team can still fight as hard as they did when they were fighting South Korea?

Even if the players work hard, but when the strength gap is obvious and the opponent has no obvious weaknesses and loopholes, who can guarantee that the team can win at home?

After entering the top 12, the Chinese team coaching staff once formulated a complete set of points-grabbing strategies based on the strength of the Chinese team.

Facing teams like South Korea and Iran, we mainly strive to not lose, but against teams such as Uzbekistan, Syria and Qatar, we must strive to win, especially at home.

Such a strategy can basically ensure that the Chinese team will win third place in the group. If South Korea and Iran perform less than ideally, the Chinese team may counterattack and enter the top two at any time and advance directly to the World Cup.

However, the performance of the Chinese team's three-to-one away victory over South Korea in the first game was much beyond everyone's expectations.

As a core coaching member who is with the international team all day long, Sergio Garcia is more aware of the current atmosphere in the team. Everyone is heart-to-heart. Everyone is holding on to their strength to prove themselves. What is certain is that they will do their best in every game in the next game and unswervingly implement Gao Han’s tactical arrangements.

But the gap in strength is indeed there, and Iran does not have too obvious weaknesses, and the offense and defense are very balanced, which makes people have nowhere to start.

"Iran's performance at home is not good. Queiroz is very pragmatic. Scoring three-pointers is the key. The team is spending a lot of money when playing against China away, and he will definitely not show up easily. Even if he really starts the game, he is just a show of himself and will not really put in a lot of effort." Gao Han sighed.

Sergio Garcia nodded, "If it were me, I would definitely grab a while and let you push it out. I will fight back. After all, this is your home court. You just defeated South Korea 3-1 away. Moreover, this is your 100th World Cup qualifier."

The Chinese team started participating in the World Cup qualifiers in 1959, playing a total of 99 games, with a record of 64 wins, thirteen draws and twenty-two losses. The next game against Iran is exactly a hundred games, but the opponent Iran is not a good deal.

This is the strongest team in Asia and the most difficult team to play.

"Queros spent five years building Iran. The lineup was properly configured and his playing style was mature and stable. If we emerge, we would definitely die." Gao Han said this, shook his head and sighed, "If we do not emerge, we may not be able to defend Iran's harassment and attack."

Gao Han can conclude that Queiroz, who plays away, will make it the top priority to stabilize the defense, one point is the bottom line and three points are the goal.

Faced with such a team, the Chinese team's active attack is a dead end, and passive defense may not be able to defend it.

In the final analysis, it’s just one sentence, and skills are not as good as humans.

"If I were given a winter training, I promise to push it out and fight him hard, but now..." Gao Han sighed heavily.

After he coached, the preparation time for the national team's training camp was indeed seriously insufficient.

The schedule of the Chinese Super League is from March to October. After Gao Han took over, it happened to be the schedule of the Chinese Super League. He did not have enough time to draw international players to train, nor did he have enough time to slowly polish the team's tactics.

For example, running without a ball is the basis of the pass-by and control method.

Many people think that the Chinese national football team cannot play pass control because of insufficient technical ability. This is indeed part of the reason, but the underlying reason is that they cannot run without the ball and cannot provide enough ball-taking points for the ball holder.

In Europe, after the high-altitude training is mature, the ball-out points can be maintained at three or four, or even more, and there can be enough ball-out points around the players, and the distance is maintained at about ten to fifteen meters. What about the national team?

Gao Han’s requirement is three stable ball-taking points. It doesn’t matter if his technical ability is not as good as that of European players. The distance is reduced to ten meters. With such a short distance, as long as the players’ pace and rhythm are coordinated and tacit understanding is developed, they can still play the transfer and control style.

Not to mention competing with European strong teams, it is enough to deal with Asian teams.

But the international players' unball runs really require a good lesson, but Gao Han doesn't have time.

After playing in September, there are two more games in October, against Syria and Uzbekistan, and one more game in November, to play in Qatar. Only after playing these games and completing the first cycle of the top 12 matches can Gao Han usher in a winter training period. This is the best time for him to slowly polish the team's technical and tactical level.

But now...

On the training ground, affected by the rainy days, the international players' passes and receiving mistakes increased a lot. If they encountered Iran's pressing in the game, they would definitely be even worse. In the end, they would end up like South Korea and be repeatedly attacked.

Gao Han doesn't need to say much about Iran's counterattack ability.

Gao Han raised his head and let the raindrops fall on his face. It was so cold that he stimulated his mind to wake up a lot. It was just at this moment that Xiao Mu blew the whistle at the end of the training.

After breathing heavily, Gao Han squeezed out a smile and looked at the international players in the training ground again.

Training in the rain, they were all soaked like chickens.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard, hurry up and go back and clean it. Before our training in the afternoon, we will have a tactical preparation meeting, and everyone must participate on time."

As he said that, Gao Han walked over and shook hands and said goodbye to the players one by one.

The players also knew that they did not perform well in this training class, and the main reason was that they were slippery and wet on rainy days.

This ball is more difficult to control than usual if it is stained with water.

After coaching in Gao Han for several months, they began to be able to play some passes, controls and offensive cooperation, but they were just like that. If they really encountered higher-intensity pressing and oppression, or on rainy days like today, they would immediately reveal their true colors.

But when they saw Gao Han’s smiling expression, their hearts couldn’t help but feel warm, and at the same time they felt even more ashamed and guilty. They were also gritting their teeth in their hearts, and they must work harder.

As professional players, they all know that Gao Han took all the pressure on them. Although they were the ones who fought hard on the field, Gao Han played a decisive role.

It can be said that Gao Han will still be the biggest advantage of the team in the next game against Iran.

But this time he met the world-famous coach Queros, and the Portuguese were not good at it.

The international players were sent back to the locker room, and Xiaomu, Buenaventura and others followed him back to prepare and test, while the staff cleaned up the venue on the spot, while Gao Han and Sergio Garcia studied the training data.

Sure enough, due to the rainy days, all the data was a bit terrible.

This further strengthened Gao Han's idea. There is only one way for the Chinese team to fight Iran, that is, defend.

This is how skills are inferior to people. Only by keeping them can you have opportunities and hope.

"How is it? It feels strange, right?" Sergio Garcia asked with a laugh.

Since Gao Han debuted, he has been following him as a right-hand man. He knows very well that in the first or two years after his debut, Gao Han played such a defensive defense, after Gao Han became famous, he has always been known for offensive football, and he himself regards offense as more important than life.

He can coach the Chinese team and encountered the biggest challenge in his career.

More importantly, he has to defend hard.

"There is no way, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is fate!" Gao Han said with a bitter smile.

Sergio Garcia and others also laughed. If you are not as good as others, you have to be beaten passively. Football is like the real world, it is very cruel and realistic. Only by constantly improving one's own strength and improving one's level as soon as possible can you avoid being beaten.

"By the way, is Li Tie back?" Gao Han asked with concern.

I heard that Iran was going to arrive in China today, and led the teammate Li Tie to go out to find out the news, especially the injury of Iranian midfielder Dejaga, who was most concerned about by Gao Han, but he has not returned yet.

This is also very important for the next preparations. Gao Han hopes to get the news as soon as possible.

When it comes to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Gao Han was holding it up, and Sergio Garcia poked his arm and pointed to the distance, and happened to see Li Tie walking quickly.

"Hey, isn't this back?" nt
