Since the national football team changed coaches, and more importantly, the news that Pan Yi joined the coaching staff was confirmed, every move of the national football team has affected the hearts of the whole country.

Even a training session for them to adapt to the venue at Kunming Tuodong Stadium has attracted great attention from domestic fans.

Whether it is formal media or self-media, they are scrambling to spread it, and it has also aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet.

"This team looks to be in a good mood!"

"With Pan Yi's team, self-confidence will be much higher than before."

"Lipi's coaching team is also very good. It seems that this training mode has never been seen in the national football team before."

"Countless facts have proved that excellent coaches can raise the team's skills and tactics to a new level. It depends on Lippi and Pan Yi's transformation of the national football team!"

However, although the fans expressed their appreciation for the training performance of the national football team, everyone was very worried about the next life-and-death battle.

The national football team has lost two games in a row.

If you can't beat Syria or Uzbekistan, can you win against Qatar?

The Longguo team can't even afford it.

In the fourth round of Group A, there was a focus battle, that is, South Korea and Iran, who were originally undefeated with two wins and one draw, had a head-to-head confrontation, and this was almost a key battle that could determine the first place in the group.

In this battle, the Iranian team had the last laugh.

Relying on the only goal of striker Azmoun who played in the Russian Super League, Iran beat South Korea 1-0.

After this victory, Iran also ranked first in Group A with 10 points, while South Korea could only rank second with 7 points.

As the Dragon Kingdom team with only 1 point, it has only played 2 games, and it is already 6 points away from the No.[-] South Korea!
Therefore, this game really has to be won, otherwise the points will only get bigger and bigger.

But can Dragon Kingdom really win?

Every fan who cares about the national football team is worried.

They are also worried about whether the national team coached by Lippi will repeat the mistakes of the year, and whether there will be another tragedy of losing the chain in front of Qatar at a critical moment?
Long Guo fans dare not place too much hope on the national team, nor dare to give too much confidence, because they are afraid.

Shortly after the training session, the head coach Ribbon and captain Zheng Zhi attended the pre-match press conference, and said in an interview with the media that the goal of this game is to score 3 points.

"I have never seen so many reporters when I was coaching Hengtai. Thank you for your support."

"It is a very difficult task to lead the Long Guo team to the finals of the World Cup. The team has not only improved in skills and tactics, but more importantly, in self-confidence. However, I still hope that we can create a miracle and enter the World Cup !"

"I believe that the strength of the national team is that it can present beautiful football. We have excellent defenders, midfielders, and forwards. The strength of our team does not match the current results. Our team has strength. Our goal is simple. That is to score 3 points in tomorrow's game."

A reporter asked: "The current situation of the Longguo team is very serious. Is the team under great pressure now?"

Lippi said: "There is pressure on both sides. The Long Guo team is ranked last in the group. The situation is very difficult, but theoretically there is still hope for advancement. We hope to work hard to score points. The team focuses on advancement. If we cannot advance, I hope The team can improve."

The reporter asked again: "Do the players really understand your technical and tactical style of play?"

Lippi replied: "All the players worked very hard, and the training was very fruitful. Speaking of this, I would like to thank my technical consultant Pan Yi for his help. He helped me formulate many detailed tactics. I know very well His strength, I believe everyone here is also very clear. It is my honor that he is willing to be my advisor, and I will trust him unconditionally."

At this time, the reporter asked Zheng Zhi, the captain: "Some people say that players only play 40% of their strength in the national team, but can Pan Yi solve this problem? What kind of state does he bring to the players?"

Zheng Zhi said: "Pan Yi not only helps us with technology and tactics, but more importantly, he gives us confidence. Our players are under more pressure in the national team. The national team is more important than the club. We represent the country. Team, we need to turn the pressure of the game into motivation. This is the issue we focused on discussing in our first meeting after Coach Lippi came to the team, and it is also where Pan Yi often enlightens us, that is, let us relax Go enjoy the game."

In the end, the captain of the national football team once again expressed his determination: "We have the strength to propose beautiful football. We need to show confidence, courage, and determination. As long as we do this, we can definitely beat our opponents!"

Lippi and Zheng Zhi's pre-match remarks were also recognized by domestic fans.

Everyone hopes that the national football team can do its best and leave no regrets.

And what the two of them said about Pan Yi in the interview also aroused the attention and curiosity of many people.

Obviously, Pan Yi played a very important role in this national team.

So, can he really continue his magic at Chelsea and Sweden?What kind of specific tactics did he formulate for the national football team?
After days of reports and attention, tonight, fans all over the country turned their attention to Kunming Tuodong Stadium.

As the game time approached, not only was the stadium full of people, but there were also countless fans outside the stadium who could not buy tickets.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult to even buy scalper tickets!
-
Kunming Tuodong Stadium, home team locker room.

At this time, the head coach Lippi had already got Qatar's starting list for this game.

The members of the coaching staff, including Pan Yi, gathered together to look at the list.

Although Pan Yi is only Lippi's "personal consultant" in name, the Football Association still prepared a formal work certificate for him sensibly, and allowed him to enter and leave the locker room and the stadium like other assistant coaches.

If you don't do this, you will definitely be overwhelmed by angry fans!

Unexpectedly by the coaching staff, Qatar still used their 4-5-1 formation when they played Syria in the last game.

They used this formation to defeat Syria 1:0, and naturally they wanted to do the same, and wanted to use it to defeat the Dragon Kingdom team that was defeated by Syria.

"Although this Qatar team does not have stars like Sun Xingmin and Azmon, their defensive players in the midfield are very active, the pace of pressing and pressing is fast, and their physical fitness is also very strong. This will be a big challenge for us. Big test."

"I told everyone before the game. After the opening, we will rush to attack and disrupt the opponent's rhythm from the very beginning. The defense line must be pressed up, and the three lines from front to back must exert enough pressure on the opponent. Stop them and don't give your opponent a chance to breathe."

Everyone in the locker room looked at Lippi seriously and nodded solemnly.

These were repeatedly told by Lippi and the coaching staff before the game.

"Everyone, I don't need to say more about the importance of tonight's game."

After Lippi emphasized the final tactical requirements, Pan Yi began the final mobilization before playing.

This is also what Lippi requested, and it is also Pan Yi's important job in this national team.

Because although Lippi's coaching staff is professional, they are all Italian after all and don't understand Chinese!

No matter how passionate and justified, the taste will definitely not be pure after the translator changes hands.

But Pan Yi is different.

He is a native of Longguo, and he is also a world-renowned football psychology master. There is no one more suitable for him to be a lecturer in the locker room!

And he also understands now that although he hopes that the players will relax and prepare for the game in normal training, but in such a critical game, it is still necessary for everyone to concentrate.

Excessive pressure will not work, nor will there be no pressure at all. This is a recognized fact in competitive sports.

And Pan Yi is a master, that is, he can keep the players' nervousness about the game at an appropriate level.

"If we can't win against our opponents in this game tonight, then our pursuit of the 2018 World Cup in Russia is likely to stop here, and many players in the team will no longer have the opportunity to compete for the World Cup."

After hearing Pan Yi's words, many veteran players, including captain Zheng Zhi, looked a little sad.

After experiencing a short-lived glory in 2002, in the current national team, no player has the opportunity to step on the big stage of the World Cup.

For any professional player, playing a World Cup is probably their lifelong dream.

But it is a pity that as a player of the Dragon Kingdom, such a dream seems a bit out of reach.

Four years later and four years later, four years later and four years later.

Even in the Asian qualifiers for the 2006, 2010, and 2014 World Cups, the Dragon Country football team was eliminated in the first stage!

Being able to enter the top ten stage of 2018 this time is actually the best performance in so many sessions!

Such a bad result made the Longguo team the object of insult and ridicule by the Chinese.

Many people take pleasure in making fun of the national football team, even if they distort the facts, because there will be traffic.

Things like "Men's football can't beat women's football", "Chinese Super League can't beat Village Super League", "National football team 0:12 Malaysia", "The stationery store team beat the national football team" and so on, will be uploaded on the Internet, but what is the truth? Not many people care.

It's a tragedy, but no one is innocent in it.

For these so-called "fans", the Longguo men's football team is just a spittoon for them to vent their dissatisfaction, and they spit into it when they have nothing to do. As for how many bowls of noodles the six sons ate, who cares?

As for the national football players, I believe they also know why they have fallen into such a situation.

Isn't it because of the poor record that everyone hates iron but not steel!
It's just that this kind of emotion is used by some people to gain eyeballs in exchange for traffic.

Now, it's time to fight to the death again, whether to continue to be scolded and ridiculed, or to become a hero once again, starting from tonight!
Pan Yi continued to say loudly:

"In this game tonight, the scariest thing is not the opponent on the other side of the court, but ourselves."

"You are eager to enter the World Cup, eager to win, but whether you can really wash away the fans' doubts about you in the past ten years, you need to prove yourself in this game tonight."

"I don't want to say a lot of high-sounding words, I am here, just want to say to you: Tonight, you have to fight for yourself! Fight for your name! Fight for the World Cup!"

Captain Zheng Zhi stood up from his seat and stretched out his hand:
"Everyone, let's work together!"

At this time, all the national football players also stood up, put their hands on the back of their captain's hands, and shouted in unison:
"come on, come on, come on!"

The locker room was full of fighting spirit for a while!
-
"Friends in the audience, welcome to watch today's game."

"We are now broadcasting live for you in the Tuodong Stadium in Kunming. This is a contest in Group A of the top ten Asian qualifiers for the 2018 Russia World Cup. The Long Guo team will face the Qatar team at home."

"The two teams have played against each other 16 times in history. The Longguo team has 7 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. It has an overall record. However, most of the games that the Longguo team won were relatively long ago. In the five matches against China, the Long Guo team only won once."

"There have been four rounds of matches in Group A. The Dragon Country team has 1 draw and 3 losses without a win, ranking last in the group. The Qatar team has 1 win and 3 losses, and it is only ahead of the Dragon Country team."

"It can be said that no matter which team it is, this game cannot afford to lose. The coaches of both sides shouted the slogan of vowing to win three points at the press conference before the game."

"In the center of the current broadcast screen, the starting lineup of the Long Guo team for this game has already been played."

“里皮对首发阵容进行了调整,而且也不再采用高洪波时代的4-4-2阵型,而是使用了现在国际上更流行的4-3-3。”

"The goalkeeper is Wang Dalei, the defense is Jiang Zhipeng, Feng Xiaoting, Mei Fang and Zhang Linpeng, the midfielder is captain Zheng Zhi slightly behind, Wu Xi and Huang Bowen are in front of him, and the striker is Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning and Lin Liangming."

"Yan Junling, who has been starting since Zeng Cheng was injured, did not play and was replaced by Wang Dalei from Shandong Luneng. This is a bit surprising."

"York City teenager Lin Liangming, who was selected for the national team for the first time, also directly appeared in the starting lineup, forming a frontcourt trident in Europe with Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning."

"According to Lippi, the head coach of the national team, Pan Yi has contributed a lot to the team's formation and specific tactical design, and his influence can be seen from this starting list. .”

"4-3-3 itself was Pan Yi's favorite formation in the early days, and now York City also often uses this formation, including Wu Lei, who was very used to playing a winger position in this three-forward formation when he was in Hamburg. And Lin Liangming himself was recommended by Pan Yi to enter the national team, and now he is also taking on important responsibilities on the front line."

"The most obvious one is Wang Dalei. This individual goalkeeper who can only serve as a substitute most of the time in the national team is currently the most suitable for Pan Yi's scavenger goalkeeper in the national team. The focus of the team is still on offense.”

"As for Qatar, they are still using a 4-5-1 formation. It seems that although they want to win, they still have to base themselves on their good defensive counterattack tactics."

"Whether the offensive formation of the national football team can break Qatar's defense, and what changes will happen to the tactics, we can only wait until the game starts..."

In the sound of the commentator's commentary, the players of the two teams have already walked out of the player channel under the leadership of the referee team.

The whole stadium immediately cheered wildly.

More than 4 fans cheered hoarsely in the stands, forming an overwhelming momentum.

Especially when the members of the coaching staff of the Longguo national team—especially Pan Yi walked out of the player channel, the voices on the scene reached their peak.

After the players of the two teams stood in a row at the exit of the player tunnel, the national anthem of the visiting team Qatar was sung first, followed by the national anthem of the home team Longguo.

When the resonant March of the Volunteers sounded in the stadium, all the fans in the audience stood up at the same time, including Pan Yi, and all the coaches and bench personnel of the home team also stood up one after another, and sang the national anthem of Longguo along with the singing.

Although the Italian coaching staff can't sing, they stand upright.

They have also fought for the Italian national team, of course they understand the significance of this moment for a country!

When the inspiring singing wafted over the stadium, everyone felt a power from this song!
In the process of singing, many fans couldn't help but burst into tears.

In fact, they can't tell what kind of emotion this is, but under such an atmosphere, they will shed tears!
Captain Zheng Zhi also called out all his teammates around him after guessing the side, forming a circle, everyone folded their hands again, and shouted in unison: "Come on! Come on! Come on!! !"

Accompanied by the shouts of the national football team, there was thunderous applause from the stands again.

Then, the singing sounded again.

This time, it was "the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind..."

The [-] national football fans present are using this method to inspire the national football players in the stadium! ——
As soon as the game started, the Longguo team immediately launched a fierce attack on Qatar.

According to Lippi's pre-match arrangement, the team will boldly press the defense, headed by the frontcourt trident, and put pressure on Qatar.

And Qatar also followed the strategy formulated by the coaching staff before the game, and retreated when they came up, leaving only a single striker Sebastian Soria in front of him waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

In less than 1 minute of the opening, Long Guo got a chance to shoot.

Wu Lei made a breakthrough on the right and went to the bottom, but due to his speed, there were no teammates in the middle and left to keep up. So Wu Lei cut inside and shot with his left foot, but the strength was not enough. Qatar goalkeeper Al Shib Take it easy.

"You two, you can switch positions directly!" Seeing this, Pan Yi immediately stood up and shouted in Chinese.

This is again Pan Yi's greatest advantage.

The instructions on the coach’s bench can be conveyed to the field in the first time without translation—the translation may even make mistakes. After all, very professional vocabulary is often involved here.

In addition, using Chinese is equivalent to an "encrypted call", and no matter how loud you shout, it is equivalent to being inaudible to Qataris.

As for such a winger change, Pan Yi has already got through with Lippi, and the old man is of course very supportive.

It is because the Dragon Kingdom team is the main attacker now, and if they are all on the Shunzu side, the firepower of both sides can only converge in the middle in the end. The firepower is too single and it is easy to be blocked.

At this time, if you force an inward cut, you can only shoot with your back foot, which is obviously not effective.

But if Lin Liangming and Wu Lei were to switch positions, it would be like what Pan Yi told them before, and they would directly become two sharp knives, piercing Qatar's ribs!
After hearing Pan Yi's shout, both Lin Liangming and Wu Lei waved to the sidelines to show that they heard it, and then ran to the other side.

"It's also possible to push both sides a little bit, we must strive to score early!" Lippi also stood beside Pan Yi and said.

What kind of translation is needed at this time, Pan Yi is the best translator!

Pan Yi nodded, and immediately shouted to the field: "Jiang Zhipeng! Zhang Linpeng! You all, go a little further, take the initiative, and actively ask for the ball! And the midfielder, always pay attention to going forward!"

At this time, the Long Guo team looked like they wanted to eat their opponents in one bite. All the national football players also worked hard and ran actively.

After Lin Liangming and Wu Lei changed positions, and Jiang Zhipeng and Zhang Linpeng pressed up, the two wings of the Longguo team began to exert their strength.

In the 10th minute, after Lin Liangming took the ball from the right and cut to the middle, he failed to get a chance and passed the ball back to Huang Bowen.

Huang Bowen took the ball with one kick and then distributed the ball to the side.

Zhang Linpeng quickly moved forward along the sidewalk, and after getting the ball, he directly passed the ball with his right foot and hoisted the ball to the top of the penalty area.

Zhang Yuning grabbed the position at the top of the arc in the penalty area in time, jumped high, headed the ball, and pushed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

At this time, Wu Lei suddenly rushed from the left side along the front of the penalty area, stopped the ball that Zhang Yuning pushed forward, and then made a feint shot, throwing away the Qatari player who was defending him, and then cut inside with his right foot. Just a straight shot!

The ball was like a cannonball and quickly blasted into Qatar's goal.

"Goal!!!! Wu Lei scored!!!!"

"This is a dream start! Only 10 minutes into the game, Wu Lei caught Zhang Yuning's header and fired an angry shot from the left side of the penalty area, piercing Qatar's goal!"

"Longguo leads Qatar 1-0!"

In the hoarse shouts of the live commentator, all the fans on the scene jumped up and cheered wildly.

After Wu Lei scored a goal, he was immediately embraced by his teammates around him.

After breaking free, Wu Lei immediately rushed to the sidelines, hugged Lippi, and then hugged Pan Yi.

Of course, the bench is also cheering.

Everyone knows what an important goal this is!

The strategy of the Long Guo team's opening attack was successful!

"After today's opening, Wu Lei first played the right winger, but he quickly switched to the left. This is definitely a small tactical adjustment made by the Longguo team, and Qatar obviously did not keep up with the rhythm, which led to the failure to defend this time. Stay with Wu Lei's inside cut."

"This is the change that Lippi's coaching staff has brought about in the team's tactics. We have also seen that Pan Yi is also very active in directing from the sidelines. Changes, and goals, it is after such a change!"

"Under the premise that the national football players have not changed much, they played a very smooth attack. This shows the important impact of an excellent coach on the game situation!"

"Now, all the players and coaches are gathered together and seem to be talking about something... Although we can't hear it, we can see from this scene how united they are!"

On the sidelines, Pan Yi was shouting to everyone:
"The goal was beautiful, but don't relax, we have to keep attacking!"

"It's just one goal, it's not enough to secure us a win, understand?"

"Just play like the opening game and try to score another goal. We will kill our opponents in one go!"

The players applauded in unison, and then returned to their own half, waiting for the kick-off.

This goal is not just a goal.

It allows all national football players to see their own changes and see their true strength!
Starting from this goal, they also began to truly believe that they could really win this game, and even win more games, and even...

Can enter the World Cup! (end of this chapter)
