Grassroots Glory
Chapter 125: An Imperfect Curtain Call
It is not easy for the Chinese team to invite Sweden to warm up. As a team that is also going to participate in the European Cup, that is, Sweden is just warming up in East Asia and has just finished a warm-up match with the South Korean team before the Chinese team can invite the European Cup participating teams to train for the world preliminaries.
When the two teams stepped into the Kunming Tuodong Stadium, the camera turned and showed the stands on the top floor, and saw the silver-haired, bespectacled old man sitting in the box on the top floor, accompanied by a group of familiar Chinese Football Association senior leaders the middle of the.
It was only after Zhou Tiancheng came this time that he knew that the national team was going to change coaches, but after nearly a month of domestic football, this has become clear.
Lippi watched the game on the spot accompanied by the big bosses of the Football Association, which is already tantamount to a certainty. Although there is still a lack of an official announcement, and this official announcement must be after this game, Gao Hongbo has successfully completed his coaching tasks, and will officially announce the personnel changes of the coaching staff.
But believe it or not, this is the truth. Whether you are surprised or not, the Chinese team is indeed about to usher in a Grand Slam godfather who has won Serie A, Champions League, World Cup and Toyota Cup (Club World Cup)!
Lippi was given a shot at the scene, followed by Gao Hongbo on the coach's bench, and a set of subtitles was displayed on the screen-now he is still the head coach of the national team, but this is the last time.
There is no joy or anger in his expression, but it is because of this that it is more emotional.
He Wei said: This coaching change came very suddenly. This will be Gao Hongbo's curtain call. We don't know what will happen to the national team in the future, but we must thank him. He was able to take over this position at the lowest point of the national team. Take responsibility, let us get so close to the World Cup again, this courage is definitely worthy of respect. This is his curtain call, I hope everything can be perfect, and the national team can have a smooth new start.
The stadium was packed to the brim. When the on-site DJ introduced China's head coach—Gao Hongbo, he stood in front of the coach's bench and slightly waved and bowed towards the audience. There was warm applause.
...
After the opening, the Chinese team played against the Swedish team without reservation. The average height of the Chinese team is 1.80 meters, and the Swedish team is 1.85 meters. The weight and confrontation are not in the same order. Ling's pass and control are the main focus, while the Swedish team is a traditional Nordic style, with fierce confrontation, decisive tackles and tackles, and the offense relies on long passes.
But today the Chinese team is completely unafraid on the scene.
Let go of the offense, press the defense up, and press high. You must know that the opponents in the top ten games are much stronger than the top twenty games. If you want to take the initiative, you must first have the courage and determination to attack to the end!
This was Gao Hongbo's last confession in the locker room before the game, and many people showed two expressions of reluctance.
Zhou Tiancheng also sighed. In his opinion, as long as Gao Hongbo wins this match, regardless of the process, it will be considered a perfect curtain call. A history-making Asian Cup champion coaching career can already make him a meritorious coach of the national team. There is no need to mention the top ten games. It feels like making a wedding dress for the next one.
But Gao Hongbo did just that, and Zhou Tiancheng shook his head slightly, because he didn't understand the idea above. It is no longer a matter of professionalism for a coach to be able to do this in the last game before get out of class. What should be considered by the next coach has anything to do with him?
Probably only local coaches who really love Chinese football and yearn for a World Cup will not care about these things, but sincerely hope that this team can go more smoothly.
Likewise, many players are aware of this problem. So there is no need for Zhou Tiancheng or Zheng Zhi to explain alone, the team was very active on the field.
The competition between the two teams is mainly concentrated in the midfield. The Swedish team hopes to open their feet and hand the ball to Zlatan Ibrahimovic as far as possible. However, Zhou Tiancheng and Zheng Zhi are pressing very hard in the frontcourt. However, the Swedish team is not easy to play the ball at all, but makes frequent mistakes under close pressing.
In the ninth minute, Zhou Tiancheng steals the core of the Swedish midfielder,
Playing for Lyon's main midfielder Karlstrom, he dribbled the ball past Sunderland midfielder Larsson, and went straight behind the opponent's full-back. The ball arrived, Zhou Tiancheng passed it, and Chen Pengfei happened to be inside Che overtook the opponent's full-back Lustig, broke into the penalty area all the way, causing chaos in the defense line, and before the opponent came up to block, he gently pushed the ball across to the goal. Jiang Hao outflanked sharply and shot at close range, but Isaacson had no time to react.
There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and the Chinese team opened the scoring early.
Lippi nodded slightly in the stands, very satisfied with Zhou Tiancheng's field vision.
But one goal is obviously not enough. Gao Hongbo was about to leave, and Zhou Tiancheng remembered that Gao Hongbo started his international career, and he trusted him from the beginning to the end. You should also give yourself a gift.
The Swedish team obviously worked hard on his defense, but in the 69th minute of the second half, he still seized the opportunity. A series of wall collisions in the center and sideways and two-to-one cooperation completely opened up the Swedish team's defense. , Hao Junmin made a pass from the right, Zhou Tiancheng stepped in behind, outflanked to the back point where the mark was not tight, leaned over and dived to the top, leaving Isaacson out of reach again.
The atypical way of scoring made Gao Hongbo smile and nod frequently.
Zhou Tiancheng ran to the sidelines and gave him a hug: Director Gao, I'll give you this goal. I thank you.
Oh, if you didn't say it earlier, I would have brought a mobile phone to record it if I knew it. Gao Hongbo joked and patted him on the shoulder twice.
Zhou Tiancheng felt the encouragement, put away his smile, and nodded his head seriously twice.
...
The game is over! The Chinese team defeated Sweden 2-0. Congratulations to Gao Hongbo. Although this curtain call came in a hurry and there are regrets, it is perfect. Thank you for his dedication to the national team. The top ten games are coming. Everything has to be done. Looking forward, but it does not prevent us from saying thank you to Director Gao at this time. I wish him all the best!
But the fans are not as open-minded as He Wei. Outside the stadium, a large number of fans gathered in front of the Chinese team's bus, affectionately trying to persuade them to stay.
Gao Hongbo, don't dismiss get out of class!
Gao Hongbo, don't dismiss get out of class!
For the first time, Chinese fans began to retain a national football coach. Fans do not deny Lippi's ability and achievements, but whether he can drive the national team is unknown.
The fans only know that the current Chinese team can bring them happiness and satisfy them. Therefore, they did not want Gao Hongbo to leave.
But all this cannot be changed, Gao Hongbo just waved to the fans who kept him, turned around and got on the bus in a hurry. With tears in their eyes, many fans took pictures of Gao Hongbo's back as he turned and left.
Is this victory the perfect curtain call?
In a way, it counts, after all, it won.
But for the fans, it doesn't count at all. In their hearts, Gao Hongbo's curtain call should be far from now.
This is especially true for Gao Hongbo himself. When he turned to get in the car, he kept his head down, and no one could see his expression.
After completing the coaching mission of the national team, when he was about to hand over this high-risk position, he didn't feel relaxed, but a little bit unwilling - just like a hard-working gardener who didn't wait for the sapling he planted with his own hands to bear fruit. Like being forced to retire...
PS: Originally I wanted Hiddink to take over Gao Hongbo. After all, it is rumored that Lippi will be dismissed after the Asian Cup. I am very optimistic about Hiddink's national football and Olympic.
But after thinking about it, Lippi is not responsible for the poor performance of the national football team this year. He is a university professor, and we are elementary school students.
The Asian Cup starts tomorrow, so I wish the Chinese team good luck!
Well, even if you don't play well, I don't think you should spray Lippi...
