Qin Xiong did not care about the storm of public opinion caused by Capello. What he was most concerned about now was the new national team.
Arihan continued to stay in his position under the urging of the entire team.
After all, China's performance in the 2006 World Cup was not bad. Especially in comparison, the Asian teams that participated in the World Cup were all wiped out in the group stage.
Hao Haidong withdrew from the national team, and Li Jinyu was demoted to a substitute by Arihan due to tactical needs and age issues.
The failure of the World Cup made Arihan reflect on the tactical structure of the national team.
China did not have the capital to follow Qin and Chu in terms of tactical concepts.
Basically, the framework set in a four-year cycle must be firmly implemented to achieve results.
Qin Xiong's conversation with Arihan during the World Cup played an important role.
China's long-term tactical foundation was rapid defensive counterattack. Then, according to different opponents, they would develop two sets of derivative tactics.
One was against strong teams. The counterattack relied on at most three people, a center forward who could play the role of a fulcrum, and a winger who had strong coordination ability. They would then serve Qin Xiong.
The other set was basically used in the Asian civil war. On the basis of the previous set of tactics, an additional winger was added to increase the offensive strength.
The defensive system of four defenders and two defensive midfielders could not be changed.
The most realistic problem in front of China's team was the goalkeeper and striker.
Liu Yunfei was abandoned by the club due to a scandal, and the national team also gave up on him. In the new batch of goalkeepers, Arihan wanted to support the players of the mesozoic and new generation. Yang Zhi became the main goalkeeper of the national team, and the new generation goalkeeper Wang Dalei, who had caused a sensation in 2006, was singled out by Arihan.
For the forward line, Arihan chose the striker Han Peng, who had made a name for himself in Shandong Luneng, and Dong Fangzhuo, who was already famous in Europe's second-tier leagues.
After Qin Xiong returned to China, he landed in Guangzhou with the national team. He was enthusiastically pursued by the fans. Many fans from Hong Kong and Macau also came to Guangzhou to cheer for China's team.
In Guangzhou Tianhe Sports Center, as the captain of China's national team, Qin Xiong lost his temper at his teammates for the first time on the field!
His target was the starting striker, Dong Fangzhuo.
The strength of Palestine was not strong. Under the leadership of Qin Xiong, the China team could control the situation very well. Many of Qin Xiong's teammates had transferred to Europe. Although they had not played in the competition for the time being, the training atmosphere in Europe, as well as the technical and tactical concepts, could also help them improve. Moreover, they had followed Qin Xiong for more than two years. Naturally, they would absolutely revolve around Qin Xiong in the competition.
However, Dong Fangzhuo, who was playing as the main force of the national team for the first time, was overly focused on his own performance.
It could be said that he had openly disobeyed the manager's orders.
His primary task was to provide cover and support on the frontline to create opportunities for Qin Xiong.
But whenever he had the chance, he would do it alone.
After 35 minutes into the first half, Qin Xiong pointed at Dong Fangzhuo and reprimanded him!
He was the captain, so he had the right to do so!
Because the key was not whether Dong Fangzhuo was creating opportunities for him, but that Dong Fangzhuo had disobeyed the manager's tactical requirements. In other words, he was letting down all his teammates' efforts.
Everyone had to do their own jobs and do their own work well. Don't be whimsical and act recklessly. If Qin Xiong acted recklessly, no one could stop him. But could Qin Xiong do that?
If he were to act recklessly, this team would probably fall apart. They wouldn't even have a backbone!
Because of this, he could not tolerate his teammates acting recklessly!
No matter what the outside world thought of the China team, he still had personal ambition and a sense of responsibility.
He hoped that the national team could prosper, so everyone had to do their part well.
If Ali Khan had not given every player tactical requirements during the preparation for the competition, Qin Xiong would not have lost his temper.
But the manager had clearly emphasized many times, and Dong Fangzhuo did not have heaven-defying personal strength. What right did he have to act recklessly?
After the principled Qin Xiong reprimanded Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo wilted, and his performance on the field became even worse.
In the first half, the China team played with great resentment. They created a lot of good opportunities, but they did not take advantage of them. At halftime, Dong Fangzhuo was replaced by Ali Khan and replaced by Han Peng.
After the substitution, many fans in the stands, reporters on the sidelines, and live broadcast commentators subconsciously thought that it was a manifestation of "Qin Xiong's will."
He had just publicly reprimanded Dong Fangzhuo in the first half, and Dong Fangzhuo was replaced after playing for 45 minutes.
This was a bit like the style of a basketball tyrant!
Qin Xiong did not care about being a basketball tyrant in the China team!
The China team was not a group of dragons. They could not be described as a group of dragons without a leader.
But if the China team did not have a strong soul, then the China team was bound to be a sheet of loose sand!
Qin Xiong's prestige and ability were enough for him.
So he did not mind being a basketball tyrant.
And the teammates around him were very cohesive!
Shao Jiayi, who landed in the Germany stadium.
Sun Xiang and Zhou Haibin, who went to the Netherlands.
Zheng Zhi and Zhao Junzhe, who studied abroad in England.
Including Qin Xiong, Sun Jihai, Liu Yi, and Zhang Pengfei, who were already in Europe, the China team now had a huge legion of overseas students!
The China team, which had just stopped in the group stage of the World Cup, shouted the slogan of coming back in four years after the World Cup ended.
This was definitely not an empty sentence!
The national team did not spend much time together, and it was even more impossible for them to be magnanimous and tolerant.
Using the youth of most of the players in a team to bear the price of the growth and maturity of a few players, even a fool would know that this was a huge loss!
Ali Khan was also aware of this, so he decisively replaced Dong Fangzhuo. Originally, he was choosing between Han Peng and Dong Fangzhuo. Whoever was better would go!
Han Peng came to the field with a humble heart. He followed the rules and did not look like a center forward at all. He frequently made passes for Qin Xiong and paid attention to Qin Xiong's running. He was determined to serve the big shots in the team and also obeyed the tactical arrangements of the manager.
Although he was a little rigid and did not know how to be flexible.
But at least the threat of the China team was made. In the second half, Qin Xiong and Zhang Pengfei each scored a goal to send Palestine away at home!
After the game, Qin Xiong was asked by the reporters what he had talked about with Dong Fangzhuo.
Qin Xiong calmly replied, "This is an internal communication between us players. It is not convenient to tell the outside world. I can only say that we will try our best to win on the field. All the players' actions on the field will be sorted out as a goal."
Although he did not answer, there were still many China media after the game that Qin Xiong's power and status in the national team's locker room had reached the point where he could cover the sky with one hand!
However, most of the China football media thought that this was a good thing!
The China team needed a strong soul as a leader. It was definitely a good sign that Qin Xiong could take on this heavy burden.
In the words of the fans' response to this matter when they were interviewed: Qin Xiong is the main force of Real Madrid. He is the big shot of the China team. What's the problem? Not convinced? Use your strength to speak!
