Chapter 193 The Goalkeeper Is so Heartless

The 41-year-old German Ian von Adrian is the goalkeeper coach of the Chinese team. He came to China from Madiburg early last year to replace the departing Juan Unzue.

Adrian's career as a professional player was very dull, spending most of his time wandering between the Bundesliga relegation zone teams and the Bundesliga 2 bench. In the summer of 2003, St. Pauli was relegated from the Bundesliga 2. The backup goalkeeper Adrian would rather cry on the bench of the Bundesliga 2 than smile wearing the main gloves of the Bundesliga 3, so he moved to the newly promoted Bundesliga 2. Diebold, continues to serve as the backup goalkeeper he is familiar with.

In fact, Adrian has been basically the third goalkeeper since he arrived at Madiburg. He has not played in a few games from beginning to end, but he has won no less collective honors in those years.

At that time, Adrian's main job was the team's entertainment committee, and he was keen on organizing team dinners, so he was very popular and had a close relationship with Zhuo Yang.

In 2010, the 35-year-old Adrian retired and later became the goalkeeper coach of the Madiburg youth training echelon. He also studied under the German goalkeeper training master Ilgner and became his assistant.

Adrian came to China to work last year, largely out of loyalty. The fact that Zhuo Yang was alive and dead made everyone in Madibao sad.

After arriving, Adrian worked very seriously. He was completely different from his hip-hop appearance when he was a player. He was an excellent coach with both ability and ideas.

Previously, the top two goalkeepers of the Chinese team were basically fixed at 25-year-old Yan Junlin and 27-year-old Wang Dalei. The third goalkeeper was more random. Domestic goalkeepers are at a low level of convergence, and there is not much difference between them.

The relatively outstanding Yan Junlin and Wang Dalei were both trained by Wensue at the national team level. As a goalkeeper coach with a strong desire for performance and ambition, Adrian naturally wants to find another Chinese goalkeeper worthy of attention.

After much searching, he found Gu Chao from Greentown.

The 27-year-old Gu Chao is indeed an outstanding goalkeeper in the Chinese Super League. From a technical perspective, he is even more comprehensive than the neurotic Wang Dalei, and has more passion than the steady Yan Junlin.

Therefore, starting from last year, Gu Chao entered the national team training camp and gradually became the third goalkeeper behind Yan and Wang. Adrian said that he had the potential of Ter Stegen. After saying this, he realized that Gu Chao was 3 years older than Neng Fu, so he quickly changed his story and said that he had the shadow of Neuer.

This evaluation is quite high, and Yan Junlin is just called "Little Handanovic" by the people of Madiburg.

With Adrian's encouragement and training, the Chinese Super League has made significant progress and his self-confidence has been greatly improved. In 2015, he became the best goalkeeper in the Chinese Super League and moved to the Chinese Super League giant Suning at the end of the year.

As a 'new' goalkeeper who was promoted through hard work, Gu Chao is Adrian's report card, so he naturally hopes to give Gu Chao more opportunities. However, Adrian is a serious German coach who pays most attention to rules. He will not interfere with Sforza's employment authority, but it is still possible to recommend one or two based on his perfect popularity.

The current atmosphere of the national team's coaching staff is even more harmonious than during the era of Jie Shuai, and Adrian is a hero who throws himself in during times of crisis. Sforza arranged for the starting line-up of the ancient Chinese Super League in today's home game against Syria.

To be able to enter the national team, one must first pass the ability test. Gu Chao has the ability to serve as a goalkeeper for the country. Otherwise, let alone Adrian, Yashin and Zov will not be able to intercede together.

They are all Chinese goalkeepers.

Who can be higher than who?

Moreover, Syria is the only team among the top 12 that regards counterattack as its iron rice bowl. They play this way no matter who they play against. The double-decker bus is parked outside the penalty area. Therefore, the main test of this game is the national team's ability to attack tough situations and break through intensive defense. The pressure on the back line will not be as great as that faced by Han Yishi.

In fact, the Chinese fans at St. Zhuque's home stadium basically don't care who the team's starting goalkeeper is today. They are only worried about whether Zhuoyang's Achilles tendon still hurts.

As long as you don't exert any force, your feet will definitely stop hurting, but watching this game made Zhuoyang's head hurt.

As soon as the whistle blew, Syria quickly retreated to half-court, handed over possession of the ball, and began the ancient craft of lining a bus with iron buckets without regrets.

There is no distinction between good and bad football tactics, it just depends on whether they are suitable and whether they work. This method is both suitable and effective for Syria.

In the first half, the Chinese team took 8 shots, and none of them hit the goal frame. At the beginning of the second half, Sforza took turns adjusting his attackers, trying to change his luck. It is the fine tradition of the Chinese team to have a decisive offensive ability, and Syria's good counterattacks are exactly the problem of the Chinese team.

Syria had only three shots in the game, and only one of them was on target.

The first-time starter in the Guchao team does have the style of Neuer. He repeatedly ran out of the penalty area to receive back passes from his teammates, and he moved left and right with his feet in a decent manner and showed promise.

In the 53rd minute, Syria counterattacked. The full-back captain Al Saleh passed the ball from the center line, and the short midfielder Almavis inserted diagonally to form a passing and running connection.

The Chinese team's defense line was too high, but the recovery speed was okay. Feng Xiaoting and Ren Hang formed a pincer attack on Almavis, with Zhang Tiedan behind him.

But there was no need for the three of them at all, Gu Chao struck like a bolt of lightning.

Gu Chao stepped on the penalty area and took off. Almavis just poked the football in the air with his toe at the top of the key. Then Gu Chao volleyed over Ren Hang and then knocked down Zhang Tiedan.

The inexplicable Almavis was left running alone into the empty penalty area with the ball. Although he didn't fully understand what happened, he knew that there was a lonely and vast empty goal in front of him. If he couldn't kick it in, he would be sorry for his hard work.

Mohamed Almawis' lone push was the only shot on target for Syria in the entire game, 0:1.

Zhuoyang and Sforza were both stunned. Von Adrian had lowered his head and covered his head with his hands. Amid the incredible noise of the St. Suzaku fans, Adrian seemed to understand in a daze: There is indeed not much difference in technical ability between individual Chinese goalkeepers, but the psychological quality of major competitions is the key to distinguishing them.

Whether you are nervous or not depends on the technical actions you make under pressure, not the exaggerated expression.

Gu Chao is considered a good goalkeeper. He may not make such urgent mistakes in the league. 27-year-old Wang Dalei and 25-year-old Yan Junlin have many technical shortcomings, but the country has spent eight and six years cultivating them before they can finally perform relatively normally in important games.

The 27-year-old Gu Chao no longer has this opportunity.

This goal allowed the Syrian bus to refill its gas, and goalkeeper Ibrahim Alma also began to frequently perform technical gloves off and tactical shoelaces.

Let’s not talk about whether his delaying behavior was a scam or not. His mental quality, which was calm and unhurried despite being yelled at and repeatedly warned by the referee, is enough for Gu Chao to learn for a lifetime.

Well, things cannot be so absolute, and Gu Chao cannot be beaten to death with a stick. It is not that many well-known goalkeepers in world football have not made mistakes at critical moments that will be regretted forever and are unscrupulous.

I have no choice but to forgive him like this first, because killing someone is against the law.

But what about this game?
