When the Thai team returned to their country, they were naturally scolded by Thai media and fans, and netizens.

They think losing to the Chinese team 0:9 is a great shame. The current Thai football strength has indeed improved a lot. Last year, it defeated the Chinese team 5:1 and this year, it also defeated the Chinese Olympic team 2:0 at the Asian Games, and won the fourth place.

This situation has made many Thai fans feel confused about the football strength of their country, and it is natural for the Thai team to defeat the Chinese team.

Even this temporarily pieced together Thai team can at least tie the Chinese team.

Unexpectedly, Thai fans who were completely unprepared faced a 0:9 defeat.

If Gao Zheng hadn't been replaced in the first half, the score of this game might have been double digits...

Regarding the loss so badly, Thai fans do not think it is a gap in strength, but because the team's lineup has been adjusted too much - this is the same as what Thai team assistant coach Promrut said.

Thai fans shouted that they would change to the main lineup and have another game.

As for Gao Zheng, who beat them all, Thai fans were not convinced, thinking that Gao Zheng could only pinch soft persimmons, and when the real swords and guns were in competition, he would definitely not get the ball.

However, Gao Zheng didn't care about the verbal attacks of Thai fans, because he couldn't hear or see them at all.

After playing against Thailand, the Chinese team moved into the mode of preparing for Paraguay.

Compared with the Thai team, which has a serious uneven lineup, Paraguay is mainly young players, but at least they don’t bring only fifteen people, and the team is also a real head coach, not an assistant coach.

From this point of view alone, Paraguay may not attach much importance to the match against the Chinese team, but its attitude is still relatively positive.

Moreover, putting aside Gao Zheng, Paraguay's strength is stronger than that of the Chinese team, which can be seen from FIFA's ranking - the Chinese team is currently ranked 92nd, while Paraguay ranks 60th.

In addition, from the transfer value, except for Gao Zheng, all the players of other Chinese teams are not enough for Paraguay to play. In addition to Gao Zheng, the most valuable Chinese team is full-back Zhang Linpeng, who is worth one million euros. Among this Paraguay team, the most valuable is defender Ivan Piris, who plays for Udinese, who is worth two million euros.

In addition, there is a star in this Paraguay team that Chinese fans are very familiar with - Saint Cruise.

Although the strength varies greatly, the Chinese team performed very positively after the game began.

Perhaps inspired by the last 9-0 sweep of Thailand, everyone performed well.

Moreover, in this game, former national team captain Zheng Zhi, who has not participated in the national team competition for seven months, has also reappeared in the starting lineup.

The Chinese team's strength in the midfield was immediately improved.

After Gao Zheng joined the team, Perlan gradually realized that Gao Zheng also needed the cooperation of the whole team, and now the national team midfielder is probably the only one who can barely match Gao Zheng's rhythm and ideas.

In fact, when he played against Thailand last game, Zheng Zhi returned to the national team, but he was on the bench at that time and did not get a chance to play.

After Gao Zheng and Zheng Zhi started in this game, the Chinese team played very well.

Facing Paraguay, which ranks more than 30 places higher than them, the Chinese team raised the pace at the beginning and played very quickly.

In the ninth minute, the Chinese team got a penalty kick. After Gao Zheng received a pass from his teammate in the penalty area, he took the ball forward. As a result, the most valuable Paraguay defender Piris in the team was a little slower when tackled and did not touch the ball. When he met Gao Zheng, Gao Zheng fell to the ground and won a penalty for the Chinese team.

The penalty was handed over to Zheng Zhi, who was wearing the captain's armband, and he scored a low shot, helping the Chinese team lead Paraguay 1-0.

There was a thunderous cheer in the stands, and Chinese fans gave applause to the old captain who scored goals in their comeback.

The Chinese team then scored again in the 18th minute, this time Wu Lei shot from close range from the back point.

Although the Chinese team has already led the opponent by two goals, Chinese fans are not satisfied with this. They are still shouting Gao Zheng's name during the game.

This means hoping that Gao Zheng can score a goal too.

And Gao Zheng did not disappoint them.

In the 40th minute, he finally helped the Chinese team expand its lead to three goals with a low shot from the penalty area.

After Gao Zheng scored the goal, the cheers sounded the most in the audience. The Chinese fans seemed to have fulfilled their wishes all at once. They didn't pay much attention to the next game and even played the Mexican wave.

In this game, Gao Zheng was substituted without breaking the game, and he continued to stay on the court.

Instead, some replacements were made to the players around him.

Commentator Duan Xin saw it: "It's obvious that Perrin is now testing more offensive combinations, and these offensive combinations have one thing in common, that is, no matter who replaces, Gao Zheng is unmoved. So rather than more offensive combinations, it's better to say that there are more offensive combinations with Gao Zheng and personnel combination..."

After a large number of personnel replacements, the Chinese team's performance was not as good as the first half, but Paraguay's offense came up.

However, under the leadership of Gao Zheng, the Chinese team can still compete with Paraguay and will not be at a disadvantage in all respects.

It was not until the 67th minute of the game that Gao Zheng was substituted that the Chinese team was completely suppressed by Paraguay from the scene.

And in the 82nd minute, Paraguay broke through the gate.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Paraguay 3-1 at home, ending a week-long international match day.

In these two national team match days, Gao Zheng scored eight goals, increasing his number of goals in the national team this season to ten.

The most important thing is that the joining of Gao Zheng and Zheng Zhi has given Chinese fans a positive look, thus full of hope for the Asian Cup held in Australia early next year.

This is the most important role of the warm-up match.

Of course, there is still a lot of work left for Perrin. After all, after solving the offensive problem, the problems in the midfield and defense line must be solved. After all, football is a sport of eleven people, so everything cannot be left to Gao Zheng to solve.

At that time, Gao Zheng kept scoring goals in the frontcourt and conceding goals in the back line, that wouldn't work.

But at least this situation will be a good start.

In next year's Asian Cup, the Chinese team will be divided into a group with Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia and North Korea.

Each team in this group is not weak. If you have to decide the winner here, the Chinese team without Gao Zheng may be similar to North Korea and rank at the end.

Uzbekistan is the first-class team and has strong strength. Saudi Arabia is also a traditional West Asian powerhouse, and it is hard to play no matter who it is.

However, after having Gao Zheng, this strength comparison will probably be re-divided.

The goal of the Chinese team with Gao Zheng is definitely not just to qualify in the group.
