Chapter 1,150 Prepare to Appear
Camacho, the head coach of the Chinese national team, had already nervously walked to the sidelines after Dulic intercepted the ball. When he saw Dulic's goal, he panicked and stayed there, his face turned pale and he couldn't say a word. Like a puppet.
In Camacho's mind, this is a game that is not much more tense than a training match. Using the game as a substitute for training is his goal. His goal is the next game against Jordan.
However, the progress of the game was completely beyond Camacho's expectation. He did not expect that the Chinese team would fall behind, and judging from the content of the game, the Chinese team might even lose.
If the Chinese team wins this game, it will have little impact on qualifying for the group, but once it loses, the pressure on the subsequent groups to qualify will be too great.
Bang!
Yang Fan punched the seat hard and cursed angrily: "Silly Que! You're actually lagging behind!"
Yu Debao also looked indignant, "Whoever made a mistake in passing the ball just now is undercover!"
Yang Fan sneered and said: "You still have the nerve to be the team vice-president? Why do you think you are a big-tailed wolf? If you don't know how to dribble the ball, don't do it."
Yang Fan and Yu Debao were both friends of Gao Xiaodong. Of course they didn't have a good impression of Li Feng, and their voices were not quiet at all when they criticized him.
Zhang Xin, who was also sitting on the bench, was Li Feng's friend and a veteran national team member. Hearing this, he said in a lecturing tone: "If you can't see the uneven turf, Boss Li is unlucky."
Yang Fan was not someone who was easy on others. In addition, after Gao Xiaodong returned, he became the captain and deputy leader of the team. Yang Fan was more confident and immediately retorted: "You can't see the uneven turf. Why bring the ball if you know it's uneven?" Don’t you know you’re a defender? You really think you’re the core.”
Zhang Xin said unhappily: "You didn't see that the offense was disadvantageous. Boss Li dribbled the ball to create offensive opportunities."
Yang Fan laughed and said: "The offensive opportunities were created well, and they all turned into assists."
"You...what the hell are you talking about?" Zhang Xin was so choked up that he almost vomited blood and spoke harshly.
Yang Fan couldn't believe this, he pointed his finger, "What the hell do you say, let me listen."
Gao Xiaodong had just been watching with cold eyes, and when he saw Yang Fan and Zhang Xin quarreling, he pulled Yang Fan's arm down and shouted: "What are you doing? The team is lagging behind, and it's not embarrassing if there is more internal strife, right?"
Although Gao Xiaodong returned to the team for the first time, he took on the airs of captain and directly criticized Yang Fan and Zhang Xin.
Yang Fan and Gao Xiaodong are good friends.
Knowing how to maintain Gao Xiaodong's authority, he glared at Zhang Xin and remained silent.
Zhang Xin is a veteran team member, and it was embarrassing to be criticized by Gao Xiaodong in a lecturing tone. However, it was obviously wrong for him to argue with Yang Fan at this time. He did not dare to confront Gao Xiaodong, and just whispered: "Whoever is causing internal strife, he will speak." It sounds so unpleasant, didn’t you hear it?”
Gao Xiaodong said coldly: "What Yang Fan said is unpleasant, but it's not you, right? Why are you so anxious?"
"..." Zhang Xin was almost choked to death by Gao Xiaodong, but he did not dare to say that Li Feng was his buddy no matter what, so he could only exhale loudly.
Yang Fan was a little unhappy at first. Hearing Gao Xiaodong criticize Zhang Xin like this, he almost laughed out loud with joy. Yu Debao couldn't help but want to laugh, but at this time, they could only hold it in.
Just when Gao Xiaodong was quarreling with Zhang Xin, head coach Camacho came to the bench from the sidelines. He finally woke up. At this time, Gao Xiaodong could no longer be hidden. He must quickly let Gao Xiaodong come on to stabilize the situation. Otherwise, once another one is added by Singapore, it is estimated that no one will be able to make a difference.
"Gao! Go out and do some activities quickly and get ready to play." Camacho said to Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong was not surprised by Camacho's decision. Although the Chinese national team is very strong, the football field is unpredictable, and it does not mean that strong strength can win. At this time, the Chinese national team is very dangerous. Once Singapore takes advantage of the Chinese If the morale of the national army is in such a state of disarray that another attack occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.
When Gao Xiaodong went out for activities, the team leader Jing Wei whispered to Gao Xiaodong: "Move more to prevent injury. You didn't warm up after you arrived."
Gao Xiaodong felt a little moved, nodded to Jingwei, walked out of the bench, and came to the sidelines to do warm-up activities.
The fans were furious with the performance of the Huaguo team and Li Feng. When they saw Gao Xiaodong coming out to warm up, they seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. They all stood up and shouted in unison, "Gao Xiaodong! Gao Xiaodong! Gao Xiaodong, come out soon." ! Gao Xiaodong, come out soon..."
The on-site commentator He Hui also couldn't wait to say: "Although it is a bit early to make a substitution at this time, the situation is critical and we cannot wait any longer. Even if Gao Xiaodong is a little tired and cannot cooperate with his teammates, he can give his teammates and fans a huge boost when he comes on the court." The morale of the Chinese team is low now, and they need Gao Xiaodong to give them a shot in the arm..."
At this moment, the Hua Guo team players on the field also saw Gao Xiaodong coming out to warm up, and they felt very uncomfortable. Although they played poorly and conceded the ball, they thought that if Gao Xiaodong changed the situation and reversed the score after coming on the court, they would Not only will he not be a hero, but he may also be scolded even more severely by fans and the media.
As the calls for "Gao Xiaodong comes on" became more and more fierce in the stands, the players of the Chinese national team almost unanimously pressed forward sharply, intensifying their pressure on Singapore. I got a goal back before and saved some face.
After losing the ball, the players of the Huaguo team were already pressing forward. Now they continued to press forward and adopted risky tackles and pressings. Once passed by the opponent, the space behind them could easily be counterattacked.
Camacho looked on the sidelines with shock and fear. He was about to let Gao Xiaodong come on to control the situation. Unexpectedly, the players suddenly became so aggressive at this time, and also lost their own tactical requirements and changed back to the original Gao Xiaodong. short passing penetration.
"Asshole! Who told them to fight like this!" Camacho growled angrily at the assistant coach Alfonso next to him.
Alfonso reminded: "Jose, you have coached them for less than a week now, and they are not yet your team."
Camacho calmed down, shook his head and said to Alfonso: "Some people should not be in the national team."
Alfonso said: "Only when these two games are finished will you have time to build a team that belongs to you. Now our task is to win this game."
With the score behind, Camacho couldn't let the players slow down the tempo, and the players might not necessarily listen to him. He could only patiently wait for Gao Xiaodong to warm up and pass on his orders to the players on the field.
The Chinese team was already stronger than Singapore, but now it suddenly changed its style of play and started pressing hard. Singapore was thrown into a panic, and its defense was distracted by one thing and another, and finally a flaw appeared.
In the 35th minute, Qu Bo made a cross, and Zhao Xu fired a powerful volley from 28 meters outside. Singapore goalkeeper Iswan saved the ball, but Iswan reacted very quickly. He got ahead of Yang Xu and Qu Bo and made another save. Save the ball from the baseline.
Then the Chinese team took a right-wing corner kick. The Singapore defender grabbed the spot and broke out of the penalty area. Sun Xiang met with a powerful attack from the outside. The ball hit Li Feng in the penalty area, then broke and hit the post.
This was the Chinese team's best scoring opportunity since the start of the game. Seeing the ball pop up and being cleared by the defender, all Chinese fans sighed.
At this time, Gao Xiaodong had finished warming up, but Camacho saw that the team's offensive was in full swing and was very close to the goal. He did not want to break the rhythm of the game, so he asked Gao Xiaodong to continue his activities to see if he could get one back.
