Chapter 263

Before the top 20, coach Gao once told the team that their goal is to enter the competition stage of the top 10. For what coach Gao said at that time, Gao shunyao felt that his confidence was too low. However, with the progress of the top 20 competition, Gao shunyao gradually realized that it might not be very easy to enter the top 10 competition so easily.

In the first three rounds, the Chinese team won one game, drew two games, accumulated five points, ranked second in the group. It looked good, but in the fourth round, they lost to Iraq.

This result is hard to accept. However, looking back at this game, we will find that the Chinese team is not wronged.

As the strongest team in the group, the last time Iraq faced China on the road, they had already shown their level. They were able to draw with China on the road, and their strength was obviously better than others. And this time, Iraq's home battle is to give full play to its strength.

Compared with them, the Chinese team didn't play very well. The victory in Iraq has something to do with coach Gao's arrangement. After being tied at home, coach Gao also chose a more conservative defensive tactics in the away game. In his view, even if it is a draw, get a point, it can be regarded as a success.

Unfortunately, Iraq was in better shape in this game. Moreover, coach Gao only left Gao shunyao in the front court when he set up this counter attack formation. In this game, Gao shunyao, who was regarded as the top offensive player by the Chinese team, was not in a good state. If he didn't play well, the attack of the Chinese team was all over.

Gao shunyao is in a bad state for many reasons: he has just lost to Dortmund in the club and realized the strength gap. Gao shunyao's mood has not recovered during this period. And just at this time, he had to come back to play in the top 20, and he was tired of running back and forth. He is now the main force in the club, no longer a substitute, the physical consumption is much greater, and the back and forth running has increased his burden a lot.

Due to his mental and physical fatigue, Gao shunyao didn't play a particularly amazing game. However, if we want to say that what really affects his performance is that he received too little support in this game.

On the Iraqi side, he is also very serious about Gao shunyao's defense. In the past, although Gao shunyao played at the top level in the Asian championship, in the final analysis, it was only the top level of the Asian championship. Now that he is the main striker of the European club, the Iraqis will not relax.

On the match field, Iraq has carried on the closest marking to Gao shunyao. From the beginning to the end, Gao shunyao hardly got a good chance. On the one hand, the Iraqis, who have completely controlled the midfield, are basically not willing to give the Chinese team the chance to give the ball to the front court. If Gao shunyao wants to catch the ball, he needs a deep return. On the other hand, every time he gets the ball, he is surrounded by at least three Iraqi players. No matter how he wants to move, someone will interrupt his attempt.

In the match with Dortmund, Gao shunyao has realized a problem: no matter how strong the striker is, it is difficult to get enough advantage when the opponent has enough midfield technical advantage. As a center, he can grab points and impact, but no matter how strong his ability to grasp opportunities is, if his teammates can't create opportunities, it's useless.

And this game, his idea, was verified again. Coach Gao's tactics give Gao shunyao enough space to play, but not enough tactical support. In the past, the gap between the Chinese team and its opponents was not too big. The tactics of defense and counterattack can also give the Chinese team some advantages. But this time, their opponents have good physical fitness and strong confrontation ability. Although they are not very good technically, their pressure on China is much stronger than that of the Japanese team, and the midfield of the Chinese team can not stand it.

They can't stand it. Naturally, Gao shunyao has no chance.

Iraq, by contrast, played much better. Their attack is unceasing, has been exerting the pressure to the Chinese team's gate. The defense of the Chinese team is not bad, but they are still unable to hold up under the wave of intensive attacks by Iraqis.

I lost the game with Iraq. A 0-1, the Chinese team lost quite simply. Facts have proved that when Gao shunyao can't play up to his standard, the results of the Chinese team are really easy to fluctuate, and other people really don't have the ability to save the world.

Fortunately, the team they lost to Iraq was also the strongest opponent in the group. Against them, the Chinese team did not have a good plan. The points China wants to get are mainly from Singapore and Jordan. After the Iraq match, they played much better against Singapore.

This time, the opponent is far less difficult than Iraq. Singapore has experienced four consecutive losses in the past four rounds, which can be said to be miserable. And playing with opponents of this level, although it is an away game, the Chinese team still plays very well.

Compared with the last game, Gao shunyao's state is obviously much better. With enough support, he can also play very well on the field. Shortly after the opening, in a fast attack of the Chinese team, Gao shunyao inserted the ball from the middle and received the header from his teammates. After receiving the header, he made a violent header to rush to the top and directly opened the door, making the team take the lead.And then, a set piece chance, the Chinese team once again expanded the score. Although it was the Singaporeans who got the first point after the kick, the Chinese team's chaotic fighting ability was quite good. In this game, Gao Lin, who played on the sidelines to enhance the impact of the team, got the football at the front of the penalty area and helped the team get the second goal.

The advantage of two goals did not stop the Chinese team. Soon, Gao shunyao scored for the team again. With the cooperation of his teammates, he successfully got a one-on-one chance in the penalty area. After Gao shunyao's success in breaking through with explosive force, he pushed a shot from the far corner, which made the Chinese team expand the score again.

Singapore's strength is really much weaker than China's team. There is no doubt that they were slaughtered by China again.

However, just after they defeated Singapore, the news of another match in the group made the victory of the Chinese team meaningless.

In the fifth round, Jordan beat Iraq unexpectedly and scored three points.

The news completely shocked the Chinese team. They thought Iraq would win this round. In the first few rounds of the game, Iraq showed a very strong strength, to beat Jordan, it should not be much for them.

But it was so unexpected that Iraq lost. Fighting against China and Jordan in a row, they are also exhausted and unable to withstand the heavy bombardment of Jordanians.

The Jordanians won, which was unexpected. What depressed the Chinese team was that the Iraqis lost the game, but it was only the Chinese team that swallowed the bitter fruit.

So far, Iraq has won three games, drawn one game and lost ten times, ranking first in the group. Their last game is against Singapore, which is basically certain. After the last game, they will definitely be able to advance to the top 10.

Jordan also has three wins, one draw and one loss. It's also 10 points, because the goal difference is not enough. Now it's second in the group. Given that Iraq's last game is expected to score, it's hard for them to be the first in the group.

The Chinese team has two wins, two draws and one loss, with eight points in the group. If they want to qualify for the group, they have to win the last game.

Only by beating Jordan in February next year can they make it to the top 10. Otherwise, in the last 20, they will have been eliminated.

The good news is that that game will be the home game of the Chinese team, which may not be an advantage for the team. But the bad news is that it's easy for the Chinese team to lose in such a final game.

In the history of these battles, China has never won a single game.

Bad luck? Poor psychological quality? No one knows the reason. However, at this time, at least people know that China's impact on the world cup this time, I'm afraid it will be more or less bad.

"The Chinese team should find a world-class coach to coach. Only a world-class coach can lead the Chinese team to glory."

The media repeated the same old tune again, mentioning what they said many times in those years. Although the Chinese team has not completely failed, it is almost impossible for coach Gao to lead the team to break the curse in the eyes of the media. He doesn't have this strength, and he won't have this good luck. Once he passes in February next year, I'm afraid that his fate will be to leave after class.

After all, his strength is poor, even if he can really rely on the world preliminaries to delay, how long can he delay?

Compared with him, the coaches in Europe must be stronger - since the above more and more attention to football, now domestic football has been completely revived. The big owners in the south, who are spending a lot of money to buy players, have attracted the attention of the whole world. If you are willing to spend money, where can you find something you can't buy? According to the media, if Chinese football spends more money and finds a good coach, it may be able to bring out the results.

From the media side, after hearing about the results of that game, the Chinese team had already expected it. Only this time, including Gao shunyao, no one can say anything.

In the final analysis, this situation is caused by their defeat to Iraq. Otherwise, where are these troubles?

In this regard, Gao shunyao can't say anything to coach Gao. He can only hope to play hard and win the last game.

However, coach Gao obviously thinks more than he does. Just before Gao shunyao got on the plane and flew to Germany, coach Gao also shared his cards with Gao shunyao.

"Do you think there will be any changes when we bring those old players into the national team?"
