In an interview with reporters, Fu Bo, the head coach of the Chinese team, repeatedly emphasized that the national team will do its best to treat this game, and don’t think that Saudi Arabia will let go if it qualifies in advance.

Judging from the team's training content, Fu Bo also did what he said - the national team's training intensity was very strong. On the first day of training after the game, the main players who participated in the Indonesian game received a day's rest, while all the substitutes went to the training ground for high-intensity training.

On November 19, the Chinese team welcomed Saudi Arabia at home.

The Shaanxi Provincial Stadium, which can accommodate 50,000 people, was full of people. Before the game started, the red flag was waving and the crowds were crowded.

Fans from all over the country are here to witness the Chinese team obtaining qualifying places in the Asian Cup.

After losing the right to participate in the World Cup, the Asian Cup became the only comfort for Chinese fans.

Judging from Saudi Arabia's starting lineup, it is indeed as their head coach Juan Carlo said, although the team has advanced in advance, it does not intend to let go and will not underestimate the enemy.

This starting lineup is Saudi Arabia's main lineup. Before, the big Iraq used to play against the Chinese team.

The Chinese team is naturally the main lineup.

As the center forward, Gao Zheng was at the forefront.

At the beginning of the game, amid the cheers of home fans, the Chinese team launched a fierce offensive against Saudi Arabia's goal.

Saudi Arabia is firmly defending and avoids conceding the ball first.

It has to be said that since Gao Zheng participated in the national team competition, Saudi Arabia has indeed been the strongest opponent in the national team level he has ever been to. His strength is not on the same level as Indonesia in the previous two games.

With the same fierce offensive, it will be difficult for the Chinese team to easily break Saudi Arabia's goal.

Gao Zheng was also closely guarded by two Saudi Arabian players during the game.

When the first half was thirty-one minutes, he had a good chance.

At that time, the captain of the Chinese team, Zheng Zhi, made a long pass in the middle and backcourt, and Gao Zheng's smart forward shot, caught the Saudi Arabian defense off guard and broke Saudi Arabia's offside trap.

However, when Gao Zheng stopped the football with his chest and then dribbled the ball into the penalty area, Saudi Arabian player Farath, who was returning to defense at high speed, took the lead and shoveled out of the bottom line.

This is the best offensive opportunity for the Chinese team in the first half.

Gao Zheng was also very upset and felt very sorry for missing this opportunity.

Although he could qualify for a tie in this game, countless lessons learned before told him that this was the most dangerous situation. Most of the time when he could qualify for a tie, the Chinese team eventually lost.

To ensure that you really "get the tie", the best way is to take the lead in the Chinese team, even if it is just one goal. In this way, even if you concede the ball in the defense next, it will be tied 1:1, which is completely acceptable. The players' mentality will be completely different from falling behind 0:1.

The Chinese team failed to break the deadlock, and Saudi Arabia also had several counterattack opportunities, but it also failed to seize it.

The first half ended 0:0.

This score made Chinese fans a little worried - worried that the Chinese team would be weak after successors, be scored by Saudi Arabia, then become impatient, lose patience, and eventually collapse...

Such experiences have happened to the Chinese team in the past so many times. Almost every Chinese team fan can be said to be a "prophet" in this regard.

During the halftime break, Fu Bo made adjustments to the situation where Gao Zheng was restricted by the opponent, using Gao Zheng to attract the opponent's defensive power and create opportunities for other teammates. In other words, Gao Zheng was feinted and others were the main attack.

Theoretically, this tactical adjustment is no problem - since Saudi Arabia has used more defensive forces to defend Gao Zheng, the defense of other Chinese players will naturally be relaxed, which is an opportunity for other Chinese players.

Although this will sacrifice Gao Zheng's scoring opportunity, Gao Zheng himself did not object to this arrangement.

After the start of the second half, the Chinese team strictly followed the tactics of head coach Fu Bo, but the effect was not very good.

Gao Zheng did attract Saudi Arabia's defensive attention. He is often surrounded by two Saudi Arabian players alone, and occasionally three or four defensive players will surround him.

The defensive pressure on other Chinese players is indeed much less.

But when Gao Zheng passed the football to them, they could not send the football into the goal or create a threat to the Saudi Arabian goal...

This is very embarrassing.

When Sampdoria was in Sampdoria, head coach Di Francesco often caused trouble to the opponent's goal when using this move.

However, there is still a big gap between the personal abilities of Chinese players and Sampdoria players.

The personal abilities of this Chinese team are not even top-notch in Asia, let alone in Europe. Except for a very small number of people who have the ability to compete, no one else can do it.

So although Gao Zheng helped his teammates attract the opponent's defensive forces, his teammates were not strong enough and he was helpless.

For example, before Gao Zheng made a comeback, Wu Lei, who was called the top genius in China, had a fast speed and strong position without the ball. Gao Zheng gave him several beautiful passes, and he also ran to the space with his ability and received the ball.

But it was really awful to be a shot...

Two chances of single shots, when facing the Saudi Arabian goalkeeper one-on-one, he hit the goalkeeper with one kick and one kick...

"Wu Lei! Wu Lei!" commentator Duan Xin sighed. "This is his second single shot in this game! The Chinese team missed the opportunity to score again!"

The Chinese fans on the court and in front of the TV were also anxious to watch it - they were wasted so many opportunities, but they were retribution!

If the Chinese team is unable to score a goal for a long time, the momentum will continue and the pressure on Saudi Arabia will be lowered, what should we do if Saudi Arabia scores a goal?

There are already Chinese fans cursing Wu Lei on the Internet.

Gao Zheng didn't mind assisting his teammates. When he printed Dunesia in the last game, he gave him a hat trick, which shows that he is not the kind of person who eats alone.

However, he was also in a dilemma as he watched his teammates keep feeding cakes and his teammates keep "not eating food that comes from pity".

He looked up at the big screen and found that the whole game had reached its 65th minute, and there were still twenty-five minutes before the end of the game.

When Gao Zheng got the ball again, there were three Saudi Arabian defensive players in front of him.

Wu Lei cut inside, and his running position was very good, which made Gao Zheng very moved - Wu Lei's running position was also very outstanding when he was in Europe. But the feeling of shooting was too far from his running position.

Although he felt this way, Gao Zheng still passed the football over. He ran to a good position, why didn’t he pass it? He just didn’t pass the ball because he didn’t play his first two feet well. It would be too selfish to do this.

But this time, after Gao Zheng passed the ball, he did not stand in place, but also rushed into the penalty area.

Wu Lei could have shot directly after receiving the ball, but his left foot was just a fake move.

But his fake move did not deceive the Saudi Arabian defensive players, but instead made him lose the best opportunity to shoot.

When his left foot fell down, there was no room for shooting, and it was difficult to remember his feet again.

In such a situation, a calm and experienced striker will find a way to protect the football, then pass it out and reorganize the offense.

But Wu Lei chose to force his feet.

The football hit the Saudi Arabian defender Osama Hausavi, who was defending him, and bounced out.

Just as the Chinese fans in the stands sighed again for Wu Lei's waste of opportunities, a red figure suddenly appeared near the landing point of the football and swung his right foot towards the football!

"Gao Zheng!!" Duan Xin exclaimed.

Gao Zheng did not give Saudi Arabian players a chance to react, and directly shot with a clean and neat shot!

The football flew through the middle of two Saudi Arabian defensive players like a cannonball, crossed the palm of goalkeeper Walid Abdullah, and hit the ball net!
Chapter completed!
