"...In a World Cup Asian qualifiers game that ended last night, the Chinese team played against South Korea at home. This Sino-Korea battle attracted much attention because it was also Gao Zheng's comeback battle... Gao Zheng suffered a serious injury to the cruciate ligament in the Sino-Korea match six months ago... After the game started, Gao Zheng was unable to play, and the Chinese team was also very unfavorable in the scene, but the South Korean team played away from home took the lead..."

"... Gao Zheng didn't make a substitute until the second half of the game, and immediately turned the situation around after he appeared. Gao Zheng's outstanding performance made people think that he was not injured at all... The first time he touched the ball, causing the Korean goalkeeper Kwon Chuntae to take off..."

"Amid the expectations, Gao Zheng scored his first goal after he returned from injury, which was a very beautiful heel shot!"

"Gao Zheng did not stop his goal afterwards. In just four minutes, he used a direct free kick to send the football into the Korean team's goal again!"

"...Although he has scored twice, Gao Zheng obviously is not satisfied with this result. He completed a hat-trick in the 86th minute, which was a very, very exciting personal performance goal. But he swept past Ji Chengyong, Hong Zhengxiao, Zhang Xiuxian and Lee in the penalty area, and sent the football into the Korean team's goal... Gao Zheng's outstanding performance helped the Chinese team finally defeat the Korean team 3-0 at home, which is also the biggest victory of the Chinese team in the process of fighting against the Korean team..."

"... After the game, Chinese fans were reluctant to leave the stadium. The fans sang "Singing the Motherland" and the chorus resounded throughout the audience. The Chinese players circled around the venue, thanking the 50,000 Chinese fans in the audience for their support..."

"...The excited Chinese fans paraded on the streets of Changsha after the game. They held huge national flags and left the stadium while singing. Every corner of the streets and alleys of the city was filled with laughter and joy. Changsha has become a city that never sleeps..."

"After the game, Gao Zheng said that he was very happy to be able to return to the stadium. The moment he stepped onto the stadium, he felt extremely good. But at the same time, he also said that his body has not recovered 100%, so it is reasonable for the club to not allow him to play. It is just that for him, the World Cup qualifiers are too important, so he took the risk to return to China to participate in the game. Playing as a substitute in this game was also the decision after head coach Lippi discussed with him. He fully respected the head coach's decision... After all, his game condition has not yet recovered to the best..."

"I wonder how Korean head coach Stilik and the Korean players would feel when they heard Gao Zheng's words? They have not recovered to their best condition and have not recovered yet. They can complete hat tricks in a limited time and play the Korean team with a 3:0. If Gao Zheng returns to his best condition, what kind of tragedy will it cause?"

"Lippi highly praised Gao Zheng's performance after returning from injury at the post-match press conference, believing that this is a rare great comeback in his coaching career. This is the original saying. Lippi also said that he is more confident that the Chinese team will advance to the Russian World Cup finals."

"Stilik, the head coach of South Korea, did not attend the press conference after the game, and no one from the Korean team players accepted interviews. We noticed that Park Changji was the first Korean team player to board the car... For the Korean team, this may be a great humiliation for them. Although losing this game will not make the South Korean team bid farewell to the World Cup, I'm afraid Stilik will definitely worry about his coaching position..."

"South Korea fans are very dissatisfied with the performance of the South Korean team in this game. Some fans even shouted out extreme remarks that they asked the South Korean team to collectively have a caesarean section... There are also many Korean fans asking Stilik to be dismissed and demanding the disbandment of the South Korean team... The Korean Football Association was also drowned. It seems that no matter which country it is, after losing the ball, it is the default choice for fans to scold the Football Association..."

"After defeating South Korea 3-0 at home, the Chinese team's points in the group stage have risen to four points, ranking second to last. However, since South Korea, which were originally ranked second and third, and Uzbekistan, both ranked second in this round, the gap between the two sides has not been widened. South Korea ranked second in ten after losing to China, while Uzbekistan lost to Syria with an unexpected 0-1 away game, and is still nine points, ranking third. Syria has eight points in fourth place... With four games left in the top 12 games, the Chinese team still has the hope of qualifying for the World Cup!"

※※※

"The game has been in the last ten minutes, and the Iranian team still leads 1:0! The national football team has played six games at the Azadi Stadium and has lost before. This stadium can be regarded as a real 'hell home court' for the national football team..." He Ping said helplessly.

Before the game, many people predicted the results when playing against Iran.

This game is probably a bad luck for the Chinese team.

Iran is the first in the group, with 16 points so far and a goal not lost.

This is again in their game.

Whether it is the right time and place or the historical results, the Chinese team cannot get any advantage here.

The game also proved everyone's prediction. Iran scored in the 46th minute. Although it was only one goal ahead, they remained until now.

Gao Zheng still did not play in this game. He was replaced in the 55th minute.

Two consecutive games in a week are indeed a physical burden for Gao Zheng, who has just recovered from injury.

After defeating the South Korean team, Chinese fans saw hope of advancing to the World Cup, but the prerequisites for this hope are very harsh.

In the remaining four games, even if they win, they only have 12 points. Adding the existing four points, that is, sixteen points.

The Iranian team does not count the results of the current match with the Chinese team, but it already has 16 points.

In this round of top 12 matches, the South Korean team defeated Syria 1-0 at home and also had thirteen points. It is impossible for them to win only one game in the remaining three games, right?

So if the Chinese team wants to advance to the World Cup, their only hope is to grab the third place in the group and then participate in the World Cup through the playoffs.

Their competitors are Uzbekistan, which currently has nine points and Syria, which has eight points.

This requires them to win the next game well.

But now it seems that it is almost impossible to win this game against Iran.

If I lose to Iran, the situation will be even worse for the Chinese team.

With the remaining three games, they must strive for a complete victory, and only then can they have hope to compete with Uzbekistan and Syria for third place in the group.

Just when many people were worried about the difficult schedule of the Chinese team in the future, the Chinese team launched an attack on the court.

Wu Lei scored a chance in the frontcourt with his own active running.

Instead of choosing to eat alone, he quickly passed the football to Gao Zheng.

At that time, Gao Zheng was still outside the penalty area. After receiving the ball from Wu Lei, he did not stop and adjust, but directly swung his feet outside the penalty area!

Gao Zhen's shot was so decisive and sudden, which was beyond the expectations of the Iranian defensive players, and even beyond the expectations of the commentator He Ping. For a moment, the sentence "too anxious" was almost blurted out.

At this moment, he saw the football flying towards the back corner of the goal against the grass. He didn't care about speaking and stared at the TV screen.

Gao Zheng was on the right side of the penalty area when he shot, and now he shot the football to the left.

Iranian goalkeeper Belanwande was originally blocking the corner from the right, but he didn't expect Gao Zheng to play so decisively, so he was a little slower. In addition, Gao Zheng shot at the far corner of the back point, which was too far away...

Belanwande kicked the ground with one leg and tried his best to rush out, but failed to touch the football.

The football jumped on the turf, then flew into the goal against the inside of the far post!

"Gao Zheng!!! Beautiful!!! He equalized the score for the Chinese team!!"

He Ping was secretly saying luck when he was shouting indifferently. Fortunately, he didn't say that sentence just now, otherwise he would have been slapped in the face by Gao Zheng now...

Of course, even if he was slapped in the face, he was willing to do so, and his heart was as sweet as eating honey!

Because this is the last moment!

If the Chinese team can get this point, it will be one point closer to Russia.

In such fierce competition, no one dares to say that this point is useless.
Chapter completed!
