At the beginning of this game, the Chinese team did have an absolute advantage. In the first ten minutes, their possession rate was as high as 70%, and they won corner kicks and free kicks in the frontcourt, with a tide of offense.

It seems that the confidence the players showed before the game is true.

But then Uzbekistan came to his senses and began to continuously attack the Chinese team's goal. The ball possession rate also rose from the lowest 30% before to 46%.

Uzbekistan's continuous impact scored in the 22nd minute. At that time, their core player Ahmedov took the ball on the left and cut the ball inside, throwing away the Chinese midfielder Wu Xi. Then he fired a long shot outside the penalty area. The football hit Wu Xi's foot, who was struggling to block it, and even though goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei flew to save it, he still failed to touch the ball.

When Uzbekistan players celebrated the goal on the court, bad thoughts emerged in the minds of many Chinese journalists in the media.

What is the historical record of winning the first round of the league? The loss in the second round eventually led to the Chinese team's group stage elimination...

What are the Chinese team's confrontation records against Uzbekistan...

What is the chance of winning the first game than winning the first game? The probability of qualifying in the group is only 33%...

All of them came to their hearts one by one.

This is really no wonder they are too pessimistic. After all, they have been hurt by Chinese football for many years.

In the first round of the 2007 Asian Cup group stage, the Chinese team defeated the host Maracia 5:1. At that time, the whole country did not take the group qualifying seriously. After all, the Chinese team had only once failed to qualify in the group, and at other times all qualifying in the group. Unexpectedly, in the second group match, the Chinese team met Uzbekistan, lost 0:3 to Uzbekistan, and eventually missed the group qualifying...

Is history going to repeat itself?

※※※

After conceding the ball, the Chinese team did have some chaos, while Uzbekistan boosted its morale and seized the opportunity to continuously strengthen its offensive, hoping to score another goal before the end of the first half. If they can lead the Chinese team two goals in the half, they will basically win this game.

With Uzbekistan's efforts, the pace of the game gradually fell into their control.

When Jeparov dribbled horizontally at the front of the Chinese penalty area, although Chinese defender Ren Xing destroyed his ball, he pulled Jeparov down with his hands while destroying the football. The referee not only gave Uzbekistan a free kick that was very close to the goal, but also gave Ren Xing a yellow card.

Ren Xing received a yellow card in the last game. According to the regulations that the accumulated two yellow cards will be automatically suspended for one game, this means that Ren Xing will not be able to play in the third group stage against North Korea. This will make the defense line of the Chinese team, which is not strong enough, even worse.

Commentator He Ping said worriedly: "It's too dangerous to continue playing like this! The Chinese team can't even pass the halftime during this period, and Gao Zheng has come back to assist in the defense..."

Guest Xu Yang said: "Uzbekistan's strength is still stronger than Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia changed coaches in the last game, and the main player was injured, and its strength was seriously damaged. However, Uzbekistan does not have such a problem... In fact, if the Chinese team can equalize the score, as long as they do not lose, there will still be a chance to qualify in the group..."

At this time, he no longer said that he was the first in the group, but instead qualified in the group more pragmatic.

When the commentators all saw the problem, it shows that the situation is indeed very critical for the Chinese team.

What they said made the Chinese fans in front of the TV very anxious.

If a team is pressed down like this, it is only a matter of time before the ball is lost...

But this Chinese team has Gao Zheng.

※※※

In the 37th minute, the Chinese team passed the football forward in the backcourt to face the oppression of Uzbekistan. They could only use this method to transfer the football forward. In most cases, this effect is not good. On the one hand, it is because Gao Zheng also needs to return to defense. If he drives his feet up, he may not be in the position; on the other hand, it is because Gao Zheng has to face the double-team defense of two opponents alone, so it is difficult to hold the ball in this situation.

For example, this time, facing the Chinese team's big feet in the backcourt, Gao Zheng could only turn his back to the offensive direction, and then stop the ball after he stuck his position.

Even if he could stop the ball, he would fall into the encirclement of Uzbekistan, and it would be difficult to do anything else.

So when Gao Zheng gently removed the flying football with his chest, many people had already thought of what would happen next.

But just as the football was about to land, Gao Zheng's ankle suddenly shook and pushed the football behind him!

At the same time, he turned short and walked forward!

Gao Zheng, who was 1.9 meters tall, was as flexible as a loach that could not be caught at this time.

Uzbekistan defender Ismailov, who was originally behind him and defending Gao Zheng with close body, did not expect Gao Zheng to break through like this. He reached out to pull him. Gao Zheng was staggered by him. Seeing this, Ismailov let go.

At the same time, another central defender Muraganov, who was defending Gao Zheng with him, took advantage of the opportunity of his teammates interfering with Gao Zheng and rushed out of the diagonal stab and hit him.

He was about to run into Gao Zheng, but Gao Zheng took the lead and picked up the football in the air again, and Muraganov lost in the air!

At the same time, Gao Zheng started again and chased the football!

"Gao Zheng! Beautiful! He threw away the defense! One-on-two! Neither of them could stop him! He rushed up, this is the opportunity for the Chinese team!! Uzbekistan players are desperately returning to defense, and our players must follow us too!" He Ping shouted.

"Wu Lei was running in front of the highway, and he went up to pick him up!" Xu Yang said.

Ismailov was fighting hard, Gao Zheng was not fast in the dribbling speed, he was almost in line with Gao Zheng.

In addition, Uzbekistan's goalkeeper Nestrov is attacking and wants to block Gao Zheng's shooting angle.

The room for Gao Zheng to play has become smaller and smaller.

While running, Gao Zheng swung his left foot. Just when everyone thought he was going to shoot, he passed the football to the other side with a wide kick!

There is Wu Lei who plugs in the highway!

"Wu Lei! The empty gate!!"

Wu Lei watched the football roll towards him. He wanted to come and shoot, but his knees suddenly softened, almost causing him to lose balance. Fortunately, he still didn't fall after staggering.

This is the perfect opportunity that Gao Zheng created for him. If he fell down here, how could he say it?

So he gritted his teeth and supported himself.

When the football finally rolled under his feet, he suddenly could only hear his heartbeat, and all the noise around him disappeared.

He looked up at the goal, and he could see the Uzbekistan goalkeeper pounced back, and the time left for him was actually very, very short.

Stay steady, Wu Lei!

He said to himself in his heart, then adjusted the football that stopped on the outside of his left foot to the right, and then swung his right foot to shoot!

※※※

When I saw Gao Zheng pass the football to Wu Lei, many Chinese fans in front of the TV were already half cold in advance, and everyone knew Wu Lei's kick.

Someone once joked that Wu Lei could not score a ball that was not difficult. This is not a praising Wu Lei to score a ball that was difficult. This is a criticism that he had poor shooting skills and could not even score a ball that was not difficult...

And this opportunity is just a ball with little difficulty!

Gao Zheng's pass was simply called a "nanny assist". He pulled Uzbekistan's defender and goalkeeper to his side, but passed the football to Wu Lei, who was running freely.

Wu Lei faces an empty gate!

According to this rule, will he kick the football into the stands with one kick?

Especially before they saw Wu Lei catch the ball, they even staggered a little and almost slipped, which made their hearts even more in their throats.

※※※

The football rushed towards the goal against the turf. Uzbekistan goalkeeper Nestrov slipped under his feet when he turned around and rushed back. He almost rushed back with his hands and feet, intending to stop the ball.

After shooting, Wu Lei also stared at the football rolling on the turf. He was particularly worried that somewhere in the turf would be uneven. The football would bounce and it would fall out of the goal if it hits...

In fact, the time from shooting to football rolling to goal line is very, very short, and it can be said to be a blink of an eye. But for some reason, Wu Lei felt that time passed very slowly, and the world seemed to be pressed to slow down in his eyes.

He watched the football roll towards the goal frame by frame, and also watched the Uzbekistan goalkeeper pounce on the football frame by frame.

The two sides seem to meet, but they certainly don't.

He heard his heartbeat grow louder and faster, he grow louder and faster, he gets louder and faster, and he gets louder and faster... When football hits the goal before Nestrov's hand reaches the goal, the heartbeat has become a deafening noise.
