In the face of all kinds of doubts about Gao Hongbo and the national team in the media, Gao Hongbo did not have this kind of war of words with the media, and after the game with Macedonia, he let the national team enter a closed training camp and no longer contact with the outside world.

He no longer has contact with the media, and the leader of the Chinese national team comes forward for the media's regular press conferences or something, and he leads the team to train wholeheartedly.

Although Gao Hongbo has always been indifferent to the media, this time it was not because he deliberately played a big name, but because Gao Hongbo was really in no mood and had no time to quarrel with the media.

He's going to spend all his time training the team.

In these 17 days, he must make a earth-shaking change for the Chinese team.

His first step was to arrange for the whole team to watch the video of yesterday's game the day after the game, before the start of training.

Then combined with the video, tell everyone how they played yesterday.

"Except for Gao Lin and Sun Hai, no one can cooperate with Rongguang." Gao Hongbo in front of the projection screen said sternly with a straight face. "In the previous games, including this one, we were able to win only because of the good performance of the glory. But we can't always expect to win by glory, that's unrealistic, and I think it's a humiliation for every one of you here. The people who can sit here are all selected by thousands, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are one in a hundred. Who can accept this kind of competition? I didn't do anything, and I won the game by relying on my teammates? ”

Sun Hai secretly glanced at Rongguang, and he found that Rongguang was expressionless, but he was quite able to sit still, he was really used to seeing big scenes......

However, when the other national team players were said by Gao Hongbo, their faces were a little unbearable.

They don't think they're as good as glory, but they don't want to be called parasites who rely on glory to win.

Gao Hongbo carefully observed the expressions of each player and was very satisfied with their expressions, so he continued.

"Five years ago, at the World Junior Championships in the Netherlands, I know there are people in the squad who are also in that tournament. I've heard some 'stories' about the national youth team at that World Junior Championships. Gao Hongbo especially reread the word "story". "It is said that Rongguang had just joined the national youth team at that time, and the gap between this team and him was immediately revealed, and it was completely divided. As we are now, glory is glory, and you are you. ”

Sun Hai glanced at Rongguang again, and found that Rongguang's expression was still normal, and he really didn't have anything to say...... Sun Hai admired in his heart.

But then at the World Junior Championships in the Netherlands, the youth team's performance was impressive, and they won the World Junior Championships. In addition to the glory table xiàn excellent, other players are also excellent, such as Gao Lin. Gao Hongbo praised Gao Lin, and the expression on Gao Lin's face became a little unnatural, a little happy but shy.

He didn't have the glory to be calm and calm.

"Why are they having such a change? Their head coach Crawford said that it was because he had the whole team train hard for more than half a month before the start of the World Youth Championships, with only one purpose - the whole team to keep up with the speed and rhythm of glory. And they succeeded. ”

Gao Hongbo paused here and then continued: "I tell you this story because I believe it is not a 'story'. If the boys in the national youth team can do it, why can't you, who are more mature than them, do it? In the future, until the opening of the Asian Cup, I will follow the example of Crawford, set higher demands on you in training, and reset your training schedule. To put it simply, your training volume is going to increase! ”

Someone wailed, but it quickly disappeared.

Glory remained expressionless, as if it had nothing to do with him.

But in fact, it is precisely because of his arrival that many things will change......

In the following time, Gao Hongbo's national team started a new training for the Asian Cup. The intensity of the training has really increased, and the first day has made the players tired and crying for their mothers.

Some older players even thought about going to Gao Hongbo to talk about it, and if they continued to practice like this, they were afraid that everyone would collapse before the Asian Cup.

However, under such high-intensity training, Rongguang still trains himself for half an hour to 45 minutes every morning, noon and evening, and the training intensity is as great as the formal training.

Seeing that a star of his status is still working so hard, others are embarrassed to shout that they can't hold on anymore.

Until December 31, the Chinese team had been training behind closed doors at the training base, during which they only played one warm-up match against Guangzhou Evergrande, a local professional team in Guangzhou.

Guangzhou Evergrande was acquired by Evergrande in March 2010 and renamed Evergrande Club, before which they were called Guangzhou Baiyunshan Medical Team, and the predecessor was actually the famous Guangzhou Sun God in the early days of Chinese professional football.

At this time, Guangzhou Evergrande had just been promoted from the Chinese League as the champion of the Chinese Super League, and they will compete in the Chinese Super League next year. Right now

The Chinese Super League newcomers played a match against the Chinese national team, which ended up with a 3-1 win over the opponent, with Rong Guang scoring twice and Gao Lin scoring another goal.

The match was completely closed, and in Guangzhou Evergrande's own training base, there was no media, no fans, and no tickets were sold.

After playing this game, on December 29, the Chinese national team set off for Qatar, where they set up a training camp, and then they will play the last warm-up match with Iraq before the start of the Asian Cup, and then the 2011 Qatar Asian Cup will kick off.

The team had just arrived at the airport in Doha, Qatar, and when they came out, they saw dozens of reporters waiting for them outside.

Except for some Chinese reporters who arrived first, the most of them were foreign reporters.

There seem to be journalists from the Middle East as well as from other Asian countries.

They were all here to report on the arrival of the Chinese team.

Originally, with the strength of the Chinese team, it was impossible for them to attract so much attention.

But because of the glorious joining, the Chinese team suddenly became the target of everyone's attention.

This kind of attention is not necessarily a good thing.

This means that there will be more media coverage for the Chinese team in Qatar, and there will be no secrets for their opponents.

Originally, in Gao Hongbo's plan to coach the Chinese team, the 2011 Asian Cup was used to prepare for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.

The main purpose is to train soldiers, and he originally didn't plan to recruit foreign players like Artemisia Min and Gao Lin.

It is intended to be dominated by domestic league players and young players.

But with the arrival of glory, everyone's expectations for the Asian Cup have skyrocketed, and it is difficult for him to regard this Asian Cup as a training match for military training.

So he had to temporarily adjust his goals, intending to achieve a good result in the Asian Cup.

Not only Rongrong, but also foreign players and veteran players such as Hao Min, Gao Lin, and Sun Hai have been recruited to go all out to prepare for the Asian Cup.

"Look, you still said you want to ......keep a low profile," Fu Bo, Gao Hongbo's assistant coach, pointed to the reporters.

"Actually, I figured it out, Lao Fu. Even if Rong doesn't come before the Asian Cup, he may come before the World Cup qualifiers, so it's better to come before the Asian Cup than to catch us off guard at that time. In this way, we can also use the Asian Cup to hone in on the glory and the team, practice the team's tactical play, and at the same time use a real game like the Asian Cup to test whether our approach is correct......," Gao Hongbo said.

Fu Bo was a little surprised when he heard Gao Hongbo say this: "You still plan to use the Asian Cup to train your troops?" ”

"Of course, it's military training, but it's a training that takes results. Wouldn't it be better if both training and honor were achieved? ”

Speaking of this, Gao Hongbo smiled slightly, and his smile was a little restrained.

Fu Bo looked at Gao Hongbo, he and Gao Hongbo have been working together for more than a year, and he should be very familiar with Gao Hongbo, but for today's Gao Hongbo, Fu Bo will still be surprised.

Amazed by Gao Hongbo's ambitions......

※※※

Gao Hongbo's strategy for dealing with the media in Qatar is the same at home, which is still a completely closed training session, not allowing reporters to take a single photo during the whole process, and not allowing an outsider to enter the area around the training ground.

At the same time, he did not attend the regular press conference, and asked the leader of the national team to attend.

All his energy is spent on training for the national team.

Training in China can see the progress of the national team, but ...... This progress is far from achieving the effect that Gao Hongbo wants.

He wants to be able to achieve that in Qatar, and for that he has no idea what the outside world is doing.

Even the match against Iraq was not made public.

Although there are many media and domestic fans who want to know the latest situation of the Chinese team's preparation for the Asian Cup, they want to see the wonderful table of glory.

However, before the game, Gao Hongbo communicated with the Iraqi side and decided that the nature of the game was a teaching game, not a warm-up game, and the game was a closed game, and there would be no spectators at the scene, and there would be no media to broadcast the game.

Gao Hongbo did not want to expose the true strength of the Chinese team before the Asian Cup, but also because the training results of the national team did not meet his requirements, so he was reluctant to expose this to his opponents.

In the final match against the defending champion Iraq, the Chinese team defeated Iraq 3:2 with three goals from Rongguang, Gao Lin and Deng Zhuoxiang, and also won their last warm-up match before the Asian Cup.

Although Iraq is no longer the tiger and wolf division of the past, the ranking in FIFA is far lower than that of China. However, the Chinese team are still very happy to beat the defending champions, and it can also boost their confidence - they really need confidence so much, and many of the internationals are running out of glory in training...... It felt like no matter how hard they tried, they would never be able to catch up with the glory.

Even Gao Lin, who was a person who was a cut above them before, looked very powerless in front of glory.

It's just too shocking to get along with such a monster day and night, train and compete, and see him strong in all aspects.

Therefore, being able to beat a defending champion like Iraq, even if it is already a defending champion who is not worthy of the name, still makes the national team players who have been hit by glory very happy.

This has also given them some confidence in the next trip to the Asian Cup.
