    There was considerable pressure.

    The Football Association's censure, the media's verbal criticism, the fans' scolding are undoubtedly strong pressures. A responsible coach will bear the pressure alone and instead reduce the pressure on the players. However, Marshal Qi is not one who can withstand the pressure.  People, he can't bear it, and the pressure will naturally be passed on to the players.

    The first one to bear the brunt was the main right back, Sichuan captain Wei Qun. Qi Marshal believed that it was his failure to protect the right wing during the game that led to the passivity of the entire game. During the national team's training on the second day, Wei Qun started from the main lineup.  Zhong was removed and replaced by Mao Yijun from Shanghai.

    At the same time, Marshal Qi put all his hopes on Hao Dong, who was still recovering from the cold. He thought wishfully that his 4-5-1 tactics were not wrong. The only thing wrong was the lack of a powerful arrow. If Hao Dong was there, the first  In the game against Iran, the national team is likely to not have any chances for the forwards in the first half, nor will it collapse due to lack of physical strength in the second half.

    Wei Qun¡¯s removal has made the international players panic. Liu Yue has already been eliminated in the Asian Cup. Who knows who will be eliminated next?  At least Mao Yijun, who has newly become the main force, has made up his mind not to just go up and assist during the game, leaving a gap behind him. At that time, he will become a sinner!  It doesn't matter if he loses his future with the national team. The key is that he will still have to make a living in the football circle in the future!

    While the national team was undergoing rectification, Pei Wei had already arrived in Beijing with Benitez to accept an interview with the Chinese Football Association.

    Benitez's profound tactical knowledge opened the eyes of the Chinese Football Association officials (in fact, later Horton also relied on his rich tactical explanations to make the Chinese Football Association take a fancy to him. The Football Association, which lacks professionals, is very superstitious about these things.  This is also the reason why even if Milu brought the national team to the World Cup, no Football Association official thought he was a good coach). Regarding the four different opponents in the group stage, Benitez gave four very targeted suggestions.  Strong playing style: Saudi Arabia¡¯s skills are relatively delicate, so it is necessary to use the body to fight against the opponent and use speed to attack the opponent¡¯s defense line; to deal with a team with a strong physique like Iran, the best way is to defend and counterattack.  A forward with combat ability and speed, supplemented by a midfield organizer who can hold the ball and deliver threatening balls; to deal with Qatar, while sending special personnel to mark the opponent's two black forwards, it is necessary to cut off the opponent's attack in the midfield  Pass the ball, insist on breakthroughs from both wings on offense; against Kuwait, you need to take more long-range shots outside the penalty area, because the opponent's goalkeeper has nothing to do with long-range shots

    This statement immediately conquered the officials of the Football Association, and Benitez's detailed knowledge of the technical characteristics of the national team members strengthened their belief. In addition, Pei Wei and Benitez both expressed that they did not need to make additional contributions from the Football Association.  The salary is enough as long as Benitez remains the head coach of Yunjia Tianyu when he is not leading the national team.

    Xu immediately made the decision and signed a secret agreement with Benitez. As long as Marshal Qi¡¯s results in the next game are unsatisfactory, he will change coaches immediately!

    After leaving the Football Association, Pei Wei and Benitez found a place to stay in Beijing, waiting for news about the second game.

    After settling in, Pei Wei couldn't help but ask Benitez: "Why don't I understand the tactics you just mentioned? Although you are right, football matches cannot be judged in advance, and on-the-spot command cannot be judged."  It¡¯s very important.¡±

    "How can I impress these laymen if I don't say this?" Benitez smiled: "Don't worry, there will be changes after I take over. In fact, the Chinese national team is very good and has many excellent players It's just that  It's a pity that your head coach doesn't know how to use it. I don't need to practice any tactics after I take office. I just need them to play like they do in the league."

    "Haha, it seems that you are also a cunning guy." Pei Wei laughed: "But if you still don't win the second game, do you think there is still something to be done?"

    Benitez did not answer directly: "Why are you so sure that you can't win the second game? Generally speaking, the team will burst out with stronger combat effectiveness than usual after losing. Even if it is an away game, it is not without a chance to win.  ¡±

    Pei Wei sneered: "Yeah, other coaches would definitely do it, but this Marshal Qi all he can do is make the players more nervous and dejected I'll make a bet with you. If the game against Qatar ends in a draw,  It¡¯s already good!¡±

    Marshal Qi must have felt that he was unlucky. The second game was getting closer and closer, but the cold that he thought was the life-saving straw - Hao Dong was still not getting better. In desperation, he could only continue to play on the forward line.  Use Li Bing.

    However, his rectification during this intermission period did have some effect - unfortunately it was the opposite effect. The international players who were frightened by him did not dare to make any mistakes in the game.Then I lost my momentum

    Not long after the game started, the opponent's black forward used a beautiful man-ball to hit General Fan who was hitting the sweeper, and then easily scored the ball.

    This conceded goal completely exposed General Fan's weakness. Although he can be regarded as the most comprehensive among Chinese players, he has a fatal weakness as a deep-lying central defender-that is, he likes to attack easily, and as a  After being passed by the sweeper, the opponent can directly face the goalkeeper. This weakness is simply fatal!

    The Chinese team, which was one goal behind, was in a state of disarray. If the goalkeeper Chu Liang hadn't saved the opponent's must-goals several times, I'm afraid the Chinese team would have surrendered long ago.

    In the away game, without the pressure of the home fans, Marshal Qi seemed to have a clearer mind. He made the right adjustment. Hao Dong, who was still ill, dragged his sick body onto the field and replaced Li Bing, who was doing nothing.

    This substitution had an immediate impact. Hao Dong equalized the score for the Chinese team with a beautiful header ten minutes after coming on. However, this change was not enough to win. In the end, as in history, the game once again ended  A draw.

    With only one point from two games, the Chinese team, which is ranked fourth by relying on more goals than Qatar, seems to be on the verge of death. Above them is Iran, which has five points from three games, and four points from two games.  Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, which had four points from three games, were fighting fiercely among the West Asian brothers. The Chinese team was not killed by others, but was almost killed by itself.

    After returning to Beijing, fierce conflicts immediately broke out within the Chinese team. The first to stand up was the Sichuan captain Weiqun who was unjustly accused of losing his main position and became the scapegoat.

    This Sichuan football brother who has quite the style of a robe brother has a straightforward and fiery temper. After returning to Beijing, he and his teammates from his club slapped the table in the room and cursed: "It's my fault! I lost the first game and I  What does it have to do with the penalty kick? The penalty kick was committed by General Fan. The goal was scored by that turtle from the left. Bagheri scored the long shot from the center. Why should he, Commander Qi, blame me?  Okay! That guy, Mao Yijun, drives the ball forward no more than five meters away. What kind of defender can¡¯t do that?¡±

    Ma Tian and Li Bing both came up to persuade him, but Wei Qun was not relieved and continued to curse: "If you don't let me go, you can! I will go back to Sichuan at the worst! But let me be clear, losing is not only my responsibility, others  You want to put a shit basin on my head!"

    These words spread quickly - just kidding, the members of the national team all live together, and the rooms are not soundproof. The most important thing is that when he was banging the table and cursing, Marshal Qi happened to pass by the door of his room, what?  All heard.

    Marshal Qi planned to talk to Wei Qun, but he overestimated his prestige. It is said that the two of them did not agree with each other. They had a big fight in the middle of the conversation and finally broke up.

    Marshal Qi, who felt mentally and physically exhausted, submitted his resignation to the Football Association. He originally wanted to let the Football Association know that his work was no longer easy to carry out, and hoped that the Football Association could give him some help - these international football players are not afraid of themselves, but they must be afraid of the Football Association, right?  Who knows, the Football Association agreed to his resignation without saying a word, and at the same time said something like thanking him for his hard work over the past four years.

    After receiving the news, Marshal Qi stayed for a long time, then silently packed his luggage and left Beijing that day.

    One loss and one draw in the two games. This result undoubtedly made fans across the country angry. At this time, a piece of news came from the Chinese Football Association that surprised everyone: "The national team coach Qi Dashuai submitted his resignation to the Football Association due to physical reasons.  , the Football Association has approved the temporary appointment of Yunjia Tianyu¡¯s Spanish head coach Benitez as the executive head coach of the Chinese national team. The temporary term will be until the end of the top ten games, and will be extended until the end of the World Cup if he is qualified for the World Cup.¡±

    This news made fans feel happy and sad: Fortunately, that Marshal Qi is finally gone - well done!  Look how our national team has been led by him!  The worry is, can Benitez do it?  Although he has achieved very good results under his leadership of Yunjia Tianyu, in a few days there will be a life and death battle against Saudi Arabia. If he takes office in a hurry, will he be able to achieve good results?

    What is now left in front of the new head coach Benitez is a mess. Due to Wei Qun's complaints, there has been mutual distrust among the national team players, and only one point in two games has also caused the national team's morale to drop.  At the extreme, there are only four days left before the game against Saudi Arabia. In these short four days, can Benitez shape such a national team that is already close to collapse?
