Chapter 534 Top Ten Tournament

After Real Madrid won two Super Cups in a row, Liu Han left the team in a hurry. He wanted to return to Asia to participate in the 02 World Cup Asian Qualifier Top Ten that all Chinese fans were looking forward to.

Another impact on the World Cup, but this time the Chinese team is different from the past in that they are full of confidence, including fans who support Chinese football as always, and they are also confident that the national team will enter the World Cup for the first time.

Sydney Sports in 2000 can be said to be a harvest year for Chinese sports. Not only did the total number of gold medals reach the top three, but the men's Olympic team also won the heaviest gold medal in history. It is undoubtedly a great encouragement to say.

With the gold medal in the Olympic Games, Wang Junsheng's seat is very stable, and Horton, who led the team to win the Olympic champion, has also secured his position as the head coach of the national team and the Olympic team. He is now fully committed to In the task of fighting for Chinese football, he not only taught himself Chinese, but also applied for permanent residence in China.

This time the Chinese national team once again hit the World Cup can be said to be the best opportunity for Chinese football in recent decades, because Japan and South Korea, as the hosts of the World Cup, will directly enter the top 32, so the main opponents of the national football team in Asia will be quite a few Only Saudi Arabia and Iran may pose a threat to the national football team, but fortunately, the national football team has drawn the safest position in the top ten draw after the group stage. They and the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Uzbekistan and Qatar are divided into a group, so even if the national team with Liu Han is not afraid of Saudi Arabia and Iran, it is still very good to be able to draw such a lucky lottery.

Since Horton's position as the head coach of the national team is very stable, coupled with the support of Wang Junsheng, the "meritorious" chairman of the Football Association, it can be said that this national team has no problems in the past. "Head" players were excluded from the national team, and chose to form a new national team based on young players from the 2000 Olympic team. Only Fan Zhiyi and others who were older were selected for the national team, and others were excluded. And people like Li Jinyu, Zhang Yuning, Li Tie, Zhang Xiaorui, and Sun Chenghai all joined European teams after 2000. Although they all played in the second- and third-tier leagues in Europe, the speed at which these young people grew It is much faster than domestic players.

In fact, before Liu Han rushed back, the national team had already played a top ten match at the Wulihe Stadium in Shenyang at home. The national team at home defeated the first opponent, the United Arab Emirates, [-]-[-] cleanly. The Top Ten has made a good start, and now Liu Han is about to return to the team. Such a Chinese team is undoubtedly the top team in Asia.

On August 2001, 8, Liu Han arrived in Muscat, the capital of Oman, by plane.

For Liu Han's arrival, most of the national team members are welcoming. After all, Liu Han is now the No.1 in Chinese sports. He is not only a representative of Chinese football, but also a representative of Chinese basketball. The team is based on the 2000 National Olympic team, so there is no problem whether Liu Han can integrate into the team, because the core of the team's tactics is Liu Han, and the team's team building idea is based on Liu Han formed a team with a balanced offense and defense. This idea was collectively agreed by the Football Association.

Arriving in Muscat, Liu Han immediately rushed to the stadium for the first joint training with the national team after a short rest.

The results of the joint training are gratifying. Liu Han's state is not a problem, and the team's tactics can be fully played out.

On August 2001, 8, the second game of the top ten tournament of the Chinese team officially started.

In this game, the Chinese team set up a 442 formation, with Liu Han sitting in the middle.

At the end of August, the temperature in Muscat was as high as 8 degrees, and the humidity was also very high. This caused a lot of problems for the players of the Chinese team. However, the strength of the Oman team is not too strong. The Chinese team has been suppressing since the beginning opponent.

The cooperation between Liu Han and the team is tacit. The right side of the midfield is the rookie Li Xiaopeng. Although he has never partnered with Liu Han before, Li Xiaopeng still showed a good state under Liu Han's active running. Although the player from Shandong didn't get a chance to play in the first game against the UAE, the head coach Horton chose to trust the newcomer in this game.

On the left side of the midfield is Zhang Xiaorui, who was trained by the "Jianlibao Team". He cooperated with Liu Han in the 2000 Olympics and is familiar with Liu Han's style. In addition, he is a left-footed player who is good at breakthroughs. The technique under the feet is also very delicate, which can be regarded as one of the high-quality products produced by the "Jianlibao Team" back then.

Liu Han gave full play to his excellent running ability after the start of the game. He kept running and connected most of the players of the national team. The entire central axis was his range of activities.

Although he has been looking for opportunities in the forward position, he can't help but sigh in his heart. For many years, the Chinese team has never shown such a strong dominance. They have almost suppressed the Oman team in the half-court defense since the start of the game. Opponent players struggle to even touch the ball.

Under such a situation, the Chinese team quickly took the lead. Liu Han received the ball from Li Gang from the backcourt and played a wonderful teamwork with the midfielders of the national team to smoothly deliver the football to the frontcourt.

After taking the ball with his back in the frontcourt, he didn't get greedy for merit, and passed it back to Li Jinyu who came to meet him.

Li Jinyu moved to the Antwerp team in Belgium after the 2000 Olympics. Although he was only a substitute forward in the team, his growth rate was rapid. Now his shooting skills and confrontation ability have made great progress.

The Oman team was helpless in the face of such a goal, because the pass of the Chinese team had almost torn their defense to pieces. When Li Jinyu was running, the Oman defender who defended him went to defend Zhang Xiaorui who came up diagonally.

The Chinese team, which got off to a good start, paused for a while after scoring a goal. After all, the climate here is high in temperature and humidity, and the physical strength of the players is exhausted very quickly.

However, before the end of halftime, the Chinese team won a free kick in the frontcourt. Liu Han showed his unique skill of the full moon scimitar, and the arc ball with his right foot made the goalkeeper of the Oman team sigh again.

The Chinese team led [-]-[-] in the first half, and soon after the start of the second half, the victory of the game was completely determined. Li Xiaopeng sent a precise cross from the right without defense, and beat the defender of Oman to score the ball. China The team secured the victory of the game.

After 10 minutes of the second half, the Chinese team dispatched troops and replaced them with substitute players. Liu Han took a rest and replaced them with young players to adapt to the atmosphere of the game. The current atmosphere in the national team is very good.

In the end, the national team had a [-]-[-] bloodbath against the Oman team. Li Jinyu scored his second goal in the top ten match before the end of the game.
