After the initial ecstasy, Perlan, as the head coach of the Chinese team, quickly calmed down. He looked at his watch. Although Gao Zheng scored ninety minutes, he could already be regarded as a final kill.

But he knew very well that ninety minutes did not mean the end of the game.

How many minutes will there be in the injury stoppage time?

The Chinese team celebrated this time so long, and there were four goals in the second half, and all four goals were celebrated. The time spent on celebration would be considered for injury stoppage time.

Therefore, the injury stoppage time of this game cannot be completed in three minutes.

It could be five minutes or six minutes.

Is it absolutely impossible for the Korean team to score a goal?

If the Chinese team is too relaxed, they may be defeated by the South Korean team in turn.

Even if the Korean team scores a goal, it will only tie 3:3, and there is still overtime to play.

However, the morale of the South Korean team, which just equalized the score, was very strong, while the Chinese team suffered a heavy blow. The morale was sluggish, and the other was getting worse. With such morale, it was not clear who won and who lost?

Not to mention that the Chinese team plays one less player, and plays another 30 minutes of overtime without physical strength. I am afraid that the whole team will only be able to defend with their eyes in the end...

So if you can not play overtime, you must not play overtime.

At the same time, among the Chinese players who were still celebrating together, Gao Zheng also realized that the game was not over. At the last moment of celebration, he took advantage of everyone's side and said to them: "Okay, don't be happy too early. The game is not over yet, and there are still a few minutes of injury stoppage time. The Korean team who lost the ball will definitely attack our defense line. I hope everyone can concentrate and grit their teeth to withstand these last few minutes! When we completely win this game, we will celebrate!"

He stretched out his arm wearing the captain's armband, pinched it into a fist, put it in front of his teammates and shook it.

At the same time, the Korean team's head coach Stilik was also cheering the team: "The game is not over yet! We still have a chance to push it up and attack!!"

He kept waving his arms to signal the team to press forward.

Son Heung-min was also slapped hard to encourage his teammates: "Don't give up! Don't give up!! We can score a goal!"

※※※

After the game started again, the South Korean team indeed launched the fiercest offensive against the Chinese team's goal, which may have surpassed all their attacks before this game.

Even the central defender overcame the center line.

The entire Korean team has already made a desperate bet, not caring whether there is any time behind him or whether the time will be caught by the Chinese team and score another goal.

For them now, there is no difference between losing one ball and losing two balls, both are losing.

Instead of worrying about losing the ball, it is better to go all out to capture the Chinese team's goal.

Faced with the fierce offensive of the South Korean team, the Chinese team also performed very tenaciously.

Everyone, including Gao Zheng, retreated back to their half and did not hesitate to use their bodies to block the eye.

During this process, Wu Xi collided with a Korean player while defending and fell to the ground due to injury.

The Korean fans in the stands also booed, believing that Wu Xi was deliberately delaying time.

This made Chinese fans very angry because Wu Xi was carried down by a stretcher, and Perrin quickly used the last substitution quota and replaced Wu Xi. How could it be said that he was deliberately delaying the time?

As a forward, Gao Zheng is actually not good at defense, but at this time he is still running hard and actively grabbing the ball, even if sometimes he has to use foul measures to stop the South Korean team's attack...

In the 94th minute, he pushed down the Korean full-back Che Duli who was dribbling in front of the ball on the wing.

Che Duli did not fall to the ground and complain to the referee, but turned over and got up from the ground, then hugged the football and prepared to send it quickly. As a result, Gao Zheng stood in front of the football, making it impossible for him to send it quickly.

Che Duli, who was a little anxious, pushed Gao Zheng away and planned to send it out soon.

Gao Zheng, who was pushed by Che Duli, did not dodge, but fell to the ground directly with a tilt back.

He was pushed down by Cheduli!

The Chinese players next to him stopped doing it. They shouted loudly and rushed towards Cheduli.

And how could the Korean players watch their teammates suffer losses? Naturally, they rushed up to help quickly.

The two sides fought each other like this.

"Cha Duri's action is really redundant! This is an obvious act of revenge!" He Ping severely criticized the Korean players.

The Korean commentator held the opposite view: "Gao Zheng was deliberately provoking! It was a fake fall! It is said that he had rumors of fake fall in Europe. Today, he saw that he was indeed well-known! Che Duli's moment was not enough to push him to the ground. He just wanted to push Gao Zheng away and give up an angle..."

The commentator said anxiously: "Don't mention whether it should be. This is not the time to quarrel with the Chinese! We must hurry up and let the game continue! If we quarrel with the Chinese, it would be really fooled by Gao Zheng!"

The stands booed again.

Referee Williams rushed up to put out the fire for both players, and even the sidelined player next to him came on the court to help the referee maintain order.

There is no one without understanding from the Korean team. Son Heung-min desperately pushed away his teammates who wanted to trouble the Chinese team players: "Now is not the time to do this! We are still behind!"

After about a minute of chaos, the conflict caused by Gao Zheng finally subsided. Gao Zheng received a yellow card for deliberately blocking the opponent from sending a free kick.

At the same time, Che Duli, who pushed the people, also received a yellow card.

The South Korean team lost a very precious minute.

When the game started again, there was only one minute left for the six-minute injury stoppage time.

Although the South Korean team won a free kick on the side of the frontcourt, it was too far away from the goal. After the South Korean team took the free kick, it hit the Chinese team's penalty area, and was pushed out by the tall and powerful Gao Zheng.

Next, the South Korean team besieged the Chinese team's goal regardless of everything.

Just one minute is too short and fleeting for them.

When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, many Korean players collapsed directly on the turf, while the Chinese players and coaches who had been waiting on the sidelines rushed into the stadium!

"The match ends! The match ends!! The Chinese team defeated the South Korean team 3:2 in the Asian Cup quarterfinals and reached the Asian Cup semi-finals!!" He Ping raised his arms and shouted. "This is after the 2010 East Asian Finals, we will defeat the South Korean team again!"

"And what's different from the East Asian semi-finals is that this is the knockout stage of the Asian Cup. The Korean team's main players compete and try their best to the last second! This victory is full of gold!" Xu Yang said excitedly from the side. He was saying this for those spiritual Koreans to avoid them picking their bones again.

"With the victory of this game, the Chinese team also broke an embarrassing record since the 2004 Asian Cup, which had made it to the first round of the knockout round in eleven years!" He Ping added.

When He Ping talked about this, many people in front of the TV were a little surprised. What is this record? Did the Chinese team fail to pass the first round of the knockout round in eleven years?

That's true.

Since reaching the finals of the Asian Cup held in 2004, Chinese national teams of all levels of Chinese football have not yet made it through the first round of the knockout round, which means that the best result is the first round of the knockout round.

In the 2004 Asian Cup, the Chinese team faced Iraq in the first round of the knockout round, and the Chinese team defeated their opponent 3-0 and entered the semi-finals.

That Asian Cup was the last peak of Chinese football.

In the next Asian Youth Championship in 2007 and 2011, the Chinese team was eliminated after the group stage.

And among national teams below the adult national team level, the results are not much better.

In the 2005 World Youth Championship, although the national youth team performed very well in the group stage. After meeting Germany in the first round of the knockout round, they also played very tenaciously and scored twice. But they still lost to the German team 2:3 in the end and stopped in the first round of the knockout round.

In the World Youth Championship in the same year, the Chinese team advanced from the group stage and advanced to the knockout stage, but lost to Türkiye 1:5 in the quarter-finals and was eliminated.

In the 2006 Asian Youth Championship, the Chinese team won two wins and one draw in the group stage, but in the quarter-finals, facing North Korea, the two sides fought to overtime, and the Chinese team finally lost to North Korea 0:1. In the subsequent Asian Youth Championship, the Chinese team either could not enter the finals, or they failed in the group stage and were not qualified to play in the knockout round at all.

In the Asian Youth Championship of the same year, the Chinese national youth team also lost to Jordan 1:2 in the first round of the knockout round.

In the first round of the Asian Youth Championship knockout round in 2008, the National Youth Team lost to Uzbekistan in a penalty shootout, it was the game where the opponent used a defender to play the goalkeeper and eliminated it.

At the Olympic Games of the same year, the Chinese National Olympic Team played at home and failed to qualify in the group stage.

In the first round of the 2010 Asian Youth Championship knockout round, he lost 0:2 to North Korea.

The 2012 Asian Youth Championship failed to pass the group stage.

The 2014 Asian Youth Championship knockout match lost to Qatar 2:4 in the first round.

The results of Chinese football at the Asian Games are also lacking.

The Chinese team lost to Iran in the first round of the knockout match of the 2006 Doha Asian Games.

In the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, the Chinese team lost 0:3 to South Korea in the first round of the knockout round.

In the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, the Chinese team lost 0:2 to the Youth Invincible Thailand team.

People always say that after the 2004 Asian Cup, the Chinese team fell into boundless darkness, but what kind of darkness it looked like seemed to lack a specific definition.

What is the trough of Chinese football? How dark is it?

Looking at these data, this is the trough, this is the darkness. From the national team to the national youth team, Chinese teams of all ages have never won a knockout match!

Today, in the quarterfinals of the 2015 Asian Cup, the Chinese team finally passed the "first round of the knockout stage", and the opponent they eliminated was still the mortal enemy of the South Korean team. No wonder many Chinese fans in the stands at this moment could not control their feelings. When the Chinese team won, they were not cheering or laughing, but crying, which was difficult to suppress the tears that burst out from their eyes, and there were also many big men crying.

And it is not just the Chinese fans who scanned the TV broadcast camera. In front of the TV, in front of the computer, in the camera, in the places where people are not in the camera, and cannot pay attention to it, there are more people crying with their heads in their heads.

Just for this difficult and hard-won victory, for this historical moment.

In the darkest years of Chinese football, Chinese football has become synonymous with embarrassing eyes and a spittoon that anyone can spit out a mouthful of phlegm.

People who once loved Chinese football have turned against each other and have become enemies. They have become the ones who hate Chinese football the most. They regard their past love for Chinese football as young, naive and ignorant, and what a painful understanding...

But how many people swear that they will be dogs when watching the Chinese team again, but now they are quietly crying in front of the TV.

Who told them that they are all Chinese, and who told them that they all love football?

※※※

After the initial celebration, the Chinese team players are now gathered together to circle the city for a week, thanking the fans who come to cheer for them.

I don’t know who threw a national flag from the stands, and they spread the five-star red flag.

At the same time, the singing of Chinese fans sounded in the stands: "The five-star red flag flutters in the wind! How loud the song of victory is!!"

There are not many opportunities for this song to appear after the Chinese team, because it is an ode to victory, and the past victory in Chinese football was really... too few.

But at least at this moment, everyone can enjoy the joy of victory without considering what will happen next.
Chapter completed!
