Referee Pereira finally blew the whistle at the end of the first half.


    Zhang Yuning, who missed the best chance to score in the first half, bowed his head and was full of remorse in his heart.


    What a good chance it was. As long as he was a little more calm at that time, the goal was sure to score. But I didn''t know what happened at that time. When the opportunity came, he was in a hurry and played without thinking.


    After that shot, he knew it was out of the question, because it was then that he noticed the position of the goalkeeper.


    What a pity!


    It''s a pity that he almost wants to take his head off himself.


    As a striker of the national team, he knows better than anyone else that when he plays Uzbekistan away, there will be no second chance to score like this. If that goal is scored, the situation of the whole game will be completely reversed and rewritten, and he will become the goal hero of the national team once again.


    But in this world where comes the regret medicine to be possible to eat?


    "Don''t take it to heart." Teammate Gao Lin gasps to come together, consolation way.


    Zhang Yuning looked at his teammates and nodded slightly, but what he thought was that if Gao Lin was given the same chance, he would definitely get in. He admired the psychological quality of the national team center.


    "Everyone will have such a period of time. After adjustment, it will be over. And if you score continuously before, the opponent will pay more attention to and study you than before. At this time, it will be more difficult to score again." Gao Lin laughs.


    Zhang Yuning nodded, he really felt that the other side''s defenders took care of him more and more closely, and no longer gave him space easily. Last time he played against Syria, this game is still the same.


    It made him feel a little depressed, but at the same time, a little scared.


    Is that really the defensive strength of the top 12?


    Before playing in the top 40, he won in the first two rounds against South Korea and Iran on the premise that his opponents were not familiar with him?


    Is it that once the opponent keeps a close watch on him, he can''t?


    The idea of doubting himself was just swept away in his mind. Zhang Yuning certainly didn''t think he was incompetent, because coach Gao Han told him more than once that as long as he was willing to work hard, he would definitely have a foothold in European football with his potential.


    Who is alpine?


    How many top stars has bole, the world''s most famous star, produced?


    His vision even convinced him more than Zhang himself.


    Maybe seeing the change of Zhang Yuning''s look, Gao Lin walked over with a smile and grabbed his shoulder. "Don''t worry, just like the boss said, if you can''t score, run more and make more balls for your teammates. Sometimes the chance of scoring suddenly appears."


    After that, Gao Lin couldn''t help laughing.


    Zhang Yuning looks at Gao Lin gratefully and nods heavily.


    Many people say that the rise of Zhang Yuning has led to Gao Lin''s retreat to the second tier. At first, Zhang Yuning was worried about whether Gao Lin would resent himself. But now, it seems that he is using the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman.


    Just as the two centers are embracing their shoulders and walking towards the players'' passageway, Wu Lei, Hao Junmin and Zhang Xizhe, who are on the side, come to appease the young international one after another, especially captain Zheng Zhihe and vice captain Feng Xiaoting, who constantly encourage him and hope Zhang Yuning will not have psychological pressure and burden.


    "The most important thing at the moment is to play light. There must be a chance in the second half Zheng Zhi comforted.


    Zhang Yuning nodded gratefully to his teammates, and he soon noticed the head coach Gao Han who was standing at the entrance of the players'' passageway to greet them, which made Zhang Yuning feel tight again.


    Gao Han shakes hands with every player and sends them into the players'' channel. When he approaches Zhang Yuning, he laughs.


    "That shot just now stinks. Even I can smell it when I stand by the court!"


    The manager''s words, combined with his slightly exaggerated expression, made all around him burst into laughter. Even Zhang Yuning could not help but smile, but soon showed a look of shame.


    "I''m sorry, boss. I was in a hurry."


    "Nothing. It''s just a shot. There must be a chance in the second half. Go back to the dressing room and change your smelly socks."


    Gao''s joke made all the players around laugh. However, Zhang Yuning nodded his head solemnly, but his heart was really relaxed. The pressure caused by missing the single shot was also greatly reduced.


    And alpine is standing at the entrance of the passage, watching the international players go back, the heart is also very pleased.


    Everyone on the football field can make mistakes. As a team, the most important thing is tolerance, not complaining.


    This is also the mentality he always instilled into the players. Obviously, their performance in the first half made Gao Han feel very satisfied. Even if it''s a pity that they didn''t score, the players can take the initiative to comfort Zhang Yuning, which makes him see the unity and harmony in the dressing room.


    As long as everyone is united, Gao believes the team will be invincible.


    …………


    …………


    "I believe all of you have guessed that if there is no suspense, Uzbekistan will press heavily on the attack in the second half."


    In front of the tactical board, Gao''s eyes swept over the 11 players in the dressing room. At this time, left back Jiang Zhipeng has been replaced by Gao, and he will start as left back.


    This is a forced change.


    The first 20 minutes of the first half of the attack, the team''s consumption is very large, Jiang Zhipeng in the last game against Syria is also the first, physical fitness is not in the best condition, the first half of the attack is almost exhausted his physical strength.


    This is the gap between the players of the national team and the players of the European top league in terms of physical fitness. If they were players of the European top league, they would be able to last 60 minutes or even 70 minutes, but the current physical fitness of the international players is just like this.


    Instead of waiting until the start of the second half and not long after the passive replacement, it''s better to just some at half-time, direct active replacement adjustment, cold on the contrary, there is enough time to adjust the team''s defense.


    Ren Xing has not played in the Chinese Super League for a long time, and his state is relatively general. So in the last game against Syria, Gao Han specially asked him to come on as a substitute for a while to get familiar with the rhythm of the game and feel some atmosphere.


    In the case of Li Xuepeng''s injury, Gao Han really has no other candidate in the position of left back, so he can only be transferred to fill the vacancy. Fortunately, Uzbekistan is a typical left strong and right weak.


    "Our strategy in the second half is to defend and counterattack. We must pay attention that this is Uzbekistan''s home court. These three points should be in their plan, especially after their last home defeat to Iran. They urgently need these three points, so they will try their best to win."


    Uzbekistan''s group won two games in a row in the first two rounds. However, in the last round, when there was a shortage of major generals, they lost to Iran one-to-one at home. Therefore, they will not give up easily, but will try their best to win this game.


    Just as we said before, the gap between home and away in the last 12 matches is too big, especially for Central Asian teams such as Uzbekistan. When they go to East Asia and travel thousands of miles back and forth, the players consume too much. Only when they try their best to get three points at home can they hope to be promoted.


    It can be said that the home court is the best weapon for the top 12 teams.


    But there are only five home games in total. Uzbekistan''s first two are one win and one lose. If they can''t win this game again, the score of the home game will be far behind the original plan, so they will not be willing to keep the level.


    "Since it''s defense and counterattack, each of us should have enough patience. For us, one point is acceptable, but the opponents are different. This is our psychological advantage, so we should play more patience, especially in the situation of stalemate. We must keep calm."


    "In the second half, our top priority was defense. Uzbekistan''s left attacking advantage was very obvious..."


    Uzbekistan''s attack mainly lies in two sides, focusing on attacking the opponent''s side and rib. This strategy ensures that they can win against Syria and Qatar before, but some attack routines are too single and lack of effective changes.


    In the second round of the match against Qatar, Uzbekistan was defeated in front of the opponent''s targeted defense. In the third round against Iran, the latter also adopted the same blocking tactics, resulting in the failure of Uzbekistan''s 16 passes.


    More importantly, when playing Qatar and Iran, Uzbekistan had few corners, but relatively more free kicks. Although the veteran midfield player Heinrich was not the main player of the team, he was a crucial part of the free kick tactics. His free kick footwork was the key, which was why Heinrich frequently came on as a substitute in the second half, But it can be the reason for Uzbekistan''s top scorer.


    But this game, Heinrich and ismerov are suspended because of accumulated yellow cards.


    This is undoubtedly a great benefit to the Chinese team.


    All the targeted tactics, alpine cold, have been instilled into the players during the preparation period. By this time, he has nothing to pay special attention to.


    Compared with Iran and South Korea, Uzbekistan''s strength is not so strong, and it has advantages, but its disadvantages are obvious.


    Gao believes that as long as the team can strictly carry out his tactics, as long as the international players themselves do not make mistakes, it is no problem to keep the second half, and this is the limit that he can do as a coach.


    After all, he can''t play for the players, and he doesn''t have the quality to play.


    "What I want to tell you is that I''m as sorry as you for not scoring in the first half, but you have to remember that we have to defend in the second half, especially at the beginning


    Gao Han''s eyes are very dignified to sweep every player, finally fell on Ren Xing, but Gao Han didn''t say anything, just nodded heavily, as if to say, I believe you, will not let me down.


    Ren Xing nodded heavily. He knew how important his position was.


    Although Uzbekistan is strong on the left and weak on the right, it is difficult to ensure that the other side will not seize the left attack.


    The cold obviously also has this aspect of concern, so specially told Feng Xiaoting and Hao Junmin to pay attention to, in the second half of the three field to take parallel position, protect the two wings and two ribs.


    "Everybody, as long as we keep the goal in the second half, I promise Uzbekistan will make mistakes, they will make mistakes, and then we will hope to catch them and defeat them at one stroke."


    Gao Han clenched his right hand and swung it out, like a powerful boxer!
